Power of the Gods

Chapter 10

Lunar looked at Justin with interest before issuing new orders to the Dark-seekers. "Fall back!" he shouted. "I will be handling the target myself." Lunar took off his trench coat, revealing armor that had been covering his entire upper body.

Justin looked directly at him. "You don't scare me," he said. "I can easily take you down."

Lunar laughed. "Oh, really?" he asked, jokingly. He began growing until he was ten stories tall. "How about now?" he asked, laughing.

Justin looked up at him. "Um, okay," he said. "I can still take you. It'll just take a little longer."

Lunar lifted his foot, bringing it down over Justin. "No!" shouted Sam.

As the smoke cleared, Lunar laughed. "I think I stepped on a bug," he joked.

"Not really," said Justin. He was above Lunar, flapping his wings to keep himself airborne. "I'm a little harder to kill than that."

Lunar roared as he pulled back his fist, preparing for a punch. Justin folded his wings back as he plummeted towards Lunar from above. Lunar threw his punch. Justin drew his sword and opened his wings just enough so that they move him to the side. He stabbed his sword into Lunar's arm and ran it down to his elbow before he pulled it out.

Lunar stumbles backwards, holding his bleeding arm. "How did you-" he said. He looked at Justin's sword. The light energy that surrounded it had grown out to increase the length of the blade when he had stabbed Lunar. The energy decreased, changing the blade back to normal.

Justin turned and looked at Alpha, Kylan, Porter and Sam. "Get to the safe house," he told them. "I don't want any of you getting hurt. I'll take care of these guys."

Sam nodded as she and the others carried the wounded fighters and headed back towards the safe house. When they were out of the way of the battle she turned to Kylan. "Do you think he'll be okay?"she asked.

Kylan shook his head. "I don't know," he said. Against an enemy that big...it's too difficult to say for certain who will win this fight."

Sam looked back in the direction of the courtyard. She could here the sounds of the battle that ensued. Please be okay, she thought.

Back in the courtyard, Justin was flying around Lunar as he tried to land a blow on him. "Stay still!" Lunar shouted.

"Yeah, right," Justin said. "My, what bad aim you have." He laughed at Lunar while he continued flying around and mocking him. He flew low, avoiding a punch and came up, knocking Lunar back with an uppercut to his jaw.

"You know," Justin said. "You may think that your increased size has helped you, but it's really slow. Besides, if you can't hit me, it's pretty useless."

Lunar growled at him in frustration. "Don't get so cocky kid," he said. Lunar swung around, hitting Justin with his tail and sending him flying through two of the school buildings and into the ground, causing a small crater to appear.

"Okay," Justin said, getting up from the floor. "That hurt. Note to self, pay more attention to the tail." He looked up to see Lunar's giant fist coming down on him. He went to use his shield, but discovered that he had dropped it when he crashed through the buildings. Crap! he thought to himself. No time to dodge!

Justin closed his eyes and stuck his hands out in front of him, hoping he could stop it with his bare hands. When Lunar's fist hit Justin's hands, a giant shockwave echoed throughout the school and the crater grew to a bigger size.

"What?!" Lunar said, surprised.

Justin opened his eyes and saw that he had stopped the attack. "Holy Crap!" he shouted, surprised at the form's strength. "I can't believe that worked! I wonder what else this form can do."
