Crystal Powers: A New Generation

Chapter 19 - The Beginning of the Great Battle

"The agency is over there?" Catherines asked, pointing to the direction where the hunters came from. 

"Yeah, I'm sure of it. They wouldn't have deployed that many hunters if they didn't know that we were near and that we were close. Plus, there was a lot of debris from when Hallie's tornado hit the ground over there, which means that there is a building of some sort over there." Flynn pieced the pieces together. 

"Smart observation, but does this mean that our battle starts now? We don't really have much time to prepare or anything." Trey said, his hands grabbing onto his jacket so it doesn't get blown away by the winds. 

"It doesn't matter. We have to be ready, it's not like we have a choice." Max announced, his face emotionless. 

Catherine tapped on Hallie's shoulder, "We won't need the tornado anymore but thank you for your help." she said in the girl's ear. 

Hallie opened her eyes and everyone watched as the funnel in the distance began to disintegrate, going back up into the sky as the clouds dispersed, revealing the sun. 

Hallie got up from the ground, dusting off her pants, "So what is the game plan here guys?"

Catherine stared at the ground, deep in thought. Her thoughts were interrupted when Trey pulled them all into a huddle, wrapping his arms around the two people nearest to him, which were Catherine and Max. 

"I'm not sure if I really have a set game plan, but a few encouraging words couldn't hurt," Trey started, getting everyone's attention. He softly smiled as he continued,

"I'm not sure if you guys have ever truly known this, but you guys are the only people I can truly be me around. We are all different in our own ways, but somehow when we are together we have been able to do such amazing things. I am beyond proud of every single one of you, from the bottom of my heart. So no matter what happens today, you guys should know how much I care for each one of you." 

By the end of his speech, Trey couldn't help but shed a few tears. He bowed his head so no one would see, but Max extended a hand to wipe away his friend's tears. When Trey looked back up and saw everyone smiling with him, some with a few tears in their eyes as well, he felt happy. 

"Together, we are invincible," Trey whispered. 

They heard some sort of siren in the distance, making them step away from the sappy moment that was in front of them. 

"Ah yes, what did we say what the plan was again? We ought to have a general plan for when we go." Flynn asked. 

The team looked at Catherine, who had been quiet for a while now, "You got anything, Catherine?" Max asked. 

Catherine smiled a large grin and snapped her head up towards her team, "Reek havoc, make a statement, make sure that we completely demolish this agency, no matter what it takes. We need to make sure that no one will be hurt by these people ever again." she said, progressively getting louder as she spoke. 

The whole team was shocked. They had never seen Catherine smile like that, or even promote violence. But nevertheless, they were given orders. 

They let go of each other as they faced the hill that was covering the agency. They looked at each other once more and ran towards the battlefield.

They had managed to sneak in through one of the doors on the main floor. Sure, they could have gone into the large hole that was on the eastern side of the building that was created by the tornado - but that would have been too obvious. 

When they had gotten into the building, they were met with hunters, who had guns pointed right towards them. 

"How pathetic do you have to be to just walk in the front door? Did you think we weren't going to have stationed hunters at every single entrance in this place?" one of the hunters said, pressing the gun into Flynn's head.
