NIGHTBLADE

Chapter 13

Later, Damian and his classmates were at the gym. After the boys split into teams, they spent the rest of the time playing basketball.

A few minutes went by, their scores are tied 14-to-14, and they only have 5 minutes left on the clock.

Damian is in front of Bryan who has the ball. Bryan tried to juke him but he wasn't fazed and carefully watches his every move.

With a heavy breath, Bryan ran around Damian but just as he was about to take his shot, he realized that the ball disappeared in his hand.

"Wait. What?!" he exclaimed. He turned around and saw Damian dribbling the ball and heading straight for the ring.

Suddenly, he trailed to a halt when Adrian sped past him and was blocking his path. What's more, is that Adrian's teammates were inches before they could reach the ball.

"Pass it over here!" someone shouted,

Damian looked to his left and saw Alex unguarded. He then looked at the clock. Only 2 minutes left. With that in mind, Damian he continued dribbling the ball as he tries to confuse Adrian until he disappeared.

Confused, Adrian quickly turned around and noticed that Damian was close to the ring and about to take the shot. Matt immediately stepped in, raised his hands, and jumped so Damian couldn't shoot. Little did he know that Damian threw the ball away and Alex caught it and dunked it in the ring.

The buzzer blared around the room. "Winner: Alex's team!" the coach shouted, and with that, the game was over.

After both teams high-fived each other, just before they went to the lockers to change, they heard a faint sound of a motorcycle revving and the sound just keeps getting louder and louder until the sound is gone.

"What was that?" Joshua asked

All of a sudden, the door flew open and a man wearing a black leather jacket and pants, a green shirt with a skull on literal flames.

"ALRIGHT, LISTEN UP YOU PUNKS!" he exclaimed, as he raises his gun up in the air and started firing bullets, "NOBODY MAKE A MOVE!!"

All of the students ducked down as the man fired those bullets. Until they noticed a swarm of flaming skulls roaming around and rounding them all up in a circle.

"What do you want from us?" The coach asked,

The man just looked at him coldly and quietly walked towards him. He bent down and said, "That's none of your business." And he smacks the coach leaving him unconscious.

He then got up and examined the students. When he snaps his fingers, the flaming skulls grabbed three of the students: Amara, Maria, and Samantha, and dragged them out of the gym while the girls tried to break free from skulls' grip.
