Chapter 10
Three against five. It should be easy enough in this newly formed car junkyard. But we are having a very difficult time.
“Every move we make is given away by Greenie” I yell to the others.
“We got an idea!” Sly and Konan yell. A car behind them becomes covered in flames.
“RUN!!” Lily yells to the two of them. They jump over the car in front of them and run through the car maze. The car explodes and starts a series of chain reactions. I look to the sides of the highway and the walls are too high to climb or try to escape from. The way back through the way we came is blocked by the three ‘Quest 7’ guys and the only other way out is to hop in the crevice. We are trapped.
But we aren’t giving up. We run in between two semi-trucks and regroup.
"I find it funny that we left Spark to fight a guy with a sword alone." I joke.
"I'm pretty sure he’s-
“WE GOTTA EXTRICATE HIM!” Konan Yells.
“I’ll get him. Don’t worry” Sly Assures. He starts to fall into his shadow and eventually disappears. It’s a very awesome sight to see. But it was pathetic being the fact he came out of my shadow.
“STOP PLAYING AROUND FOOL!!! SAVE MY BROTHER!”
“WHY AREN’T YOU TRYING TO SAVE HIM?!”
“I BELIEVED, ON THE GROUNDS YOU STATED, THAT YOU WOULD!!!”
Lily, paying attention to the fight, leans on the side of the truck and the wall caves in. I grab Konan and Sly grabs Lily as piles of large boxes start to fall, tearing the wall of the truck. We run out the other side of the narrow passageway.
“Why did the truck cave in so easily??” Lily asks.
“We think the guy can change the materials of things.” Sly and Konan explain.
“Flames aren’t a material.You can’t make a building out of flames. Things can be made from but not out of flames. There is more to it than what’s being led on.” Cullin assumes.
“You have a po-” Sly abruptly falls into his shadow.
“...He doesn’t know how his power’s work does he?” Lily asks.
“I have a notion that says NOOooooo.” Konan answers as he falls into his own shadow.
"What's happening?" Lily asks as she falls into her shadow. I look around to see if they are nearby but all I see is Spark hop over the boxes toward me. I catch him but he knocks me off my feet. As I fall to the ground I see the three guys lunging towards us. I take a good look at their faces before I hit the ground. As I clutch Spark, it suddenly goes pitch black.
