The air was filled with the heat of my rage. The Power Hunters were all trembling but holding their ground. Coleton walked to the front of the convoy of vehicles. He had small grin on his face and it just fueled my rage even more.

"Are you ready to turn yourself in? Is that why you called me here?" He asked over the megaphone.

"You know exactly why I called you here." I told him.

"Oh wait, is it because we dealt with those monsters and you got upset over the outcome?" I asked with a smirk.

"Monsters? What the hell do you mean monsters, they were just kids and you had an entire family killed because they were protecting them."

"Those kids are monsters, created by freak accidents that are unnatural. We Power Hunters do our duty to make sure these freaks of nature don't spread and wipe out the normal people living on this Earth."

"If you're duty is to get rid of the monsters then why don't you get rid of yourself because no man has the ability to do something like this and still have a moral conscience." It told him.

"Because if there weren't people like me then the job wouldn't get done." He yelled.

I was filled with more rage than ever before. The amount of heat coming off of me was making the other men back up. I walked toward the cars slowly. Colton stayed right where he was. He didn't seem to be effected by the heat. Something was odd about that.

"You see Randall, I became one of the first Power Hunters of my kind. I was cast off from a group because I was different you see, but then I was ambushed by a group of men. Instead of fighting back I offered to join them. Now I'm a Power Hunter, all because people like you and I are not supposed to be on this Earth." He told me walking up to me.

"I don't care about your life story," I went demon." come and get me!" I yelled.

"Oh you'll, regret not caring about it." He said with a smile.

He began to take off the gear he was wearing. He was just in a black t-shirt and combat pants. He looked up at me and a wicked smile grew across his face, and he began to transform himself. His skin turned pale white and his body grew larger. Large claws grew out of his hands. He was turning into a true monster.

"I'll kill you! I will make you pay for what you did you son of a bitch!" I yelled.

"Good luck with that. I'll rip you apart like I did your little friend." He responded.

The rage of a thousand burning suns was welling up inside me, I can't control the immense power building. The paint on the vehicles began to flake away as the heat burned it. The Power Hunters were falling back away from me as I walked towards them. My wings glowed blue with fire. I'm going to kill him and every single Power Hunter I find for what they did to them.

Coleton reared back and then lunged towards me, his razor sharp claws barreling at my chest. I jumped up mere seconds before he hit me. I hovered in the air above his reach.

"Is that all you've got?" I asked sarcastically.

"Actually no it isn't!" He shouted up at me.

He bowed forward. Two spikes shot up out of his back, they unfolded out and skin stretched out from the joints. They spread out to the sides revealing a pear of massive bat-like wings. He let out a wicked laugh and bolted into the air. His long arms wrapped around my body and squeezed me. His grip was strong and he was tightening his arms around me. The crushing force was making it hard to breath. He flew up higher into the sky. I moved around and attempted to break free of his grasp. He just tightened his grip on me. Then I headbutted him in the mouth as hard as I could. His grip loosened and I took the opportunity to jump away from him.
