The Windmill

9: Gravity

(Farine)

I can already see the Movement police coming as usual every time the storm happens. The wind blasts Professor mentioned became wilder and the rain has become sprays. The dark matter storm sorta looked invisible. Unexpected, things go flying without any seen force. I guess the rain came for perfect timing, showing the vector quantity of the storm's forces. I might as well calculate whether this year school needed renovations. The shield Helewn was conjuring formed well. Suddenly.

"HELP!" Helewn screamed. For a split second the the machine was floating. It wasn't wind force. It was gravity. The machine started spinning wildly and Helewn was on it. Connie and I couldn't reach the platform to save her, instead it was Tyler who managed to get on the machine and check the configurations.

"I knew this is wasn't from the storm." Farine said. Madam Priscilla and Professor Zachary tried keeping the students to safety. Angel came out with his own machine. As the windmill wasn't able to focus, the anti matter shield wasn't able to fill gaps and stray wind blasts got into the schoolgrounds. Yeah, Angel's machine got destroyed along with the left wing of the school.

"This isn't right, Professor!" Madam Priscilla said to Professor Zachary as they shepherded the students to safety.

"The protection bubbles, Connie. Save the others, Farine!" Tyler screamed at us two as we were helping to shepherd the students. Connie parkour ran to the the insides of the destroyed left wind with a bag of protection bubble capsules while I was about to follow her, I can see Union police people coming and there were flying machines trying to contain the storm beyond our shield.

(Helewn)

I didn't know what really happened. It was out of the sudden. Thanks goodness Tyler hopped on and helping me handle the machine and put me on good grip.

"Why is it not coming down?" I said. Tyler was still repairing the mechanism. 

"The flux capacitor. It got disturbed at some point. It bent gravity effects." Tyler muttered as he was still working on the machine. I could see the storm has already starting ionize stuff and unprotected people. I tried not to look and gain control on the shield after Tyler done fixing it. 

Suddenly the toaster blaster's cathode ray gun stopped building the shield.

"Oh no." Tyler said. I panicked with him as the machine stopped spinning slowly. I guess it would crash down.

"Helewn, there's the inverse drive for the cathode. at the shelter. If somebody could pick it up and I'll configure the gun. For the crash, I'll try making it slow with flux capacitor." Tyler muttered as he returned to the engine.

"Connie! Help!" I screamed as loud as I could as for I wish Farine or Connie could hear me. I typed in the command in our suits' intranet.

(Connie)

"Connie!" 

I heard Helewn calling me. I saw a command on my screen.

"inverse drive for cathode, at court, near shelter" 

Meh, thanks goodness there's a picture. I ran as fast as I could to the court and took the sorta pendrive thingy out of the chest near the shelter. I ran as fast as I could back to the schoolfront. I climbed on undestroyed administration tower and jumped on the machine. 

"Connie!" Helewn said. She looked enthusiastic seeing me. Tyler pointed to a slot at the back of the blaster, followed by a wink. I passed Tyler a spare suit capsule.

I inserted the drive.

There was blinding light as a wave of wind blew off everything. The blinding light was followed by a loud high pitched bang that slowly turns unperceivable. As the light pollution cleared, the shield was full and the sky was back blue.
