Never Get Out Alive

Chapter 39: How It Feels to be A Bird, During Hunting Season.

As I turned around and the pillar came crashing down with Onyxs leg still stuck in it, so did the ceiling. And it was at this point I decided to move and duck out of the way. As i did, Onyx sat up and went to jump at me, being completely crushed in the process, sending limbs shattered everywhere. I stood up and spun around taking a breath before looking for the snake guy.

I spotted Atlas in an intense match with the big bug dude who was now flying. They were on other sides of the room and flew at each other and at last second Atlas flipped and smashed his feet into the other guys face. He then shot straight upward and plummeted downward heels first into the bug guys back leaving the room with an audible snap. He stood up as soon as the bug guy did  and without any hands, lifted up a chunk of the fallen pillar and then flung it at the other guy and sent him crashing through the window.

I ran up to him and stood by the window both of us smiling before we heard a hiss and scraping sound. We turned around to see the snake guy smack both of us with his tail and a pillar sending us flying out of the window as well. It was like I was drifting in the air, as if a bird just before it got shot. Then one large foot landed on my chest and on Atlases as well, and shoved us through the window of the building next door.

As we crashed down and fell onto the floor, hearing the floorboards snap and crack with our landing, wel both rolled over, the scaled man behind us kicking us and smacking us with a chair he had gotten from seemingly nowhere. He was clawing and scratching at us, and soon before we knew it everything was getting blurry.
Just before he could go to hit us both with a large chunk of pillar, hands raised, a large ice sword plunged through his chest and froze his body.
Then, with a jump and spin kick from behind, Beckett shattered his body to pieces all over the floor.

I smiled and grabbed his arm, standing up, Atlas doing the same. Both of us somehow already healing. As we looked at each other we heard thumping and yelling from below and we all shot to the singular door in the middle of the large pillared room.
I went to one corner and Atlas on the other side of the door. Beckett sat in the middle and stretched out his hand with ice morphing into a large two handed spiked hammer.

We heard the thumping and screaming getting louder before it got quiet, just outside the door. I counted as we tended up, down from three, silently. At the last second Beckett threw the hammer at the door, as it opened, shattering the door and smashing the people or creatures behind it. Blood spilled everywhere and bones cracked as screams filled the air and yells split the building.

Atlas leapt out first, just as two men who were mixed with lizards shot out at us, and used his powers to make what was a force field and push them back, sending them flying down the stairs. A bullet shot out, and he tilted to the side catching it in mid air without any hands, flinging it back and hitting one dude in the head. As one almost spider-esqe man came running forward on the ceiling, I lashed out my arms as whips and yanked him down, wrapping around his neck and flinging him across the room, snapping his neck in the process with a loud crack.

We all bolted down the stairs, me first then Beckett and finally Atlas. As we got to the bottom we saw the massive room we were standing in was occupied by at least twenty other large animal hybrid men...all foaming at the mouth. There were a few barrels lit with fire and some very old pillars that were clearly rotting away as I looked around the room. There were some tables and chairs and oddly enough, plenty of bats and chains.

"Listen guys, I just got out of a gladiator style two on twenty free for all with Kai. I dont really feel like messing with all them right now." I whispered to both Beckett and Atlas. They nodded and agreed and we made a very quick plan as we kept walking.

One significantly large almost bear like man stopped up and held us in place. "And just where do ya think yer going?" He growled at us while shoving me. I sighed and behind me Atlad lifted a bat up from across the room and, using his force powers due to gravity, flung it directly into the skull of the large guy, laying him put on the floor.

Beckett and I spun around to face the ever growing large crowd behind us and we set the plan in motion. Seeing as how there were only three of us and almost thirty of them, it was more like massive damage. Beckett froze the floor, shooting spikes up into some of the enemies legs and torsos. As he did that I turned one arm into a huge claw and swept at two of the columns, bringing them both down onto at least ten men. Atlas had flew up and landed not even five feet away from three flaming barrels, cracking the ground and sending them ablaze into the crowd, and before we knew it, almost all the monstrosities were dead. Those who weren't, we trapped behind fallen portions of ceilings and ice and flames.

As we walked out of the door and looked back at us, we saw smoke rising up through the roof of the house, blending in perfectly with the black and red storm clouds of the sky. We blended into the crowd pulling up our hoods, just as we heard the crackling of fire erupting and the smashing of the house, followed by the screams of the evil.
