The Clash of Shadows
669 Words
The building was already a battlefield.
The halls of the abandoned facility shook with every impact.
On one side...
Members of BLACKCLAW.
On the other...
Scarlet Fox's fighters.
Both groups were tearing the place apart.
Punches landed.
Glass shattered.
Energy blasts exploded against walls.
The sound of gunshots echoed through the corridors.
A fighter was thrown through a glass window.
Another crashed into a metal door.
It was complete chaos.
And moving through the middle of it all...
Were Ava, James, Louise, Derek, Clarence, Lena, Kennedy, Jersey, Shine, and Lacey.
They slowly walked through the corridor.
Kennedy looked around nervously.
He could hear the fighting getting closer.
He swallowed.
"Are you sure we should be doing this?"
Everyone looked at him.
Kennedy pointed toward the sounds of destruction.
"I mean..."
"This isn't even our fight."
Louise immediately looked at him.
"Scaredy cat."
Kennedy turned.
"I'm not scared."
He paused.
"...ish."
James laughed and placed a hand on Kennedy's shoulder.
"Don't worry, bro."
"It's going to be okay."
He smiled.
"This is our chance."
"Our chance to capture all of them at once."
Kennedy looked at everyone.
Then slowly nodded.
"Yeah."
"Yeah, you're right."
They continued walking.
As they moved deeper into the building...
The sounds became louder.
BOOM!
A body crashed against a glass wall.
CRACK!
Someone was thrown across the room.
Louise's eyes widened.
"Okay..."
"That sounds like fun."
They reached the main fighting area.
Inside...
It was worse than they imagined.
BLACKCLAW members were fighting Scarlet Fox's soldiers.
Some were using weapons.
Others were using powers.
Martial arts moves were flying everywhere.
One person jumped over another and kicked them through a table.
Another fired energy toward the ceiling.
The entire room looked like a war zone.
Then suddenly...
A voice cut through the chaos.
"Woah."
Everyone stopped.
They turned.
Standing at the entrance were Lena and the others.
Lena looked around at the fighters.
"You guys really know how to fight."
She smiled.
"Seriously."
"Whoever taught you all this..."
She looked impressed.
"They must be reeeeeally proud right now."
The fighters stared at her.
One BLACKCLAW member stepped forward.
He looked them up and down.
Then laughed.
"They are just children."
The others laughed with him.
"Get out of here."
"Before you make us do something we don't want to do."
Kennedy stepped forward.
"Actually..."
Everyone looked at him.
"We're not children."
He pointed at himself.
"We are..."
He paused.
"A little..."
He looked at the others.
"Above."
Silence.
Then he sighed.
"Okay."
"Just call us teenagers."
Clarence stepped forward.
"Yeah."
"And by the way..."
She looked around at everyone.
"We're not leaving."
The fighters became serious.
"We came here to arrest all of you."
She pointed at them.
"Because you're all criminals."
One of Scarlet Fox's fighters laughed.
"Arrest us?"
He looked at the others.
"These kids are funny."
Ava stepped forward.
"You want proof?"
Louise smiled.
"Yeah."
"They want proof."
She raised her hands.
Suddenly—
WHOOSH!
Fire surrounded several BLACKCLAW members.
They jumped back in shock.
"What?!"
Louise smirked.
"That enough proof?"
Before anyone could react—
Ava lifted one hand.
The air around two Scarlet Fox fighters changed.
Their bodies lifted off the ground.
"What is happening?!"
Ava moved her hand.
BOOM!
They were thrown across the room.
James disappeared.
A blur.
A second later—
THUD!
THUD!
THUD!
Ten fighters fell to the ground almost instantly.
Everyone stared.
One BLACKCLAW member stepped backward.
"They're..."
"Super kids."
Kennedy immediately raised a finger.
"Again..."
"You didn't listen."
He pointed at himself.
"Super..."
He looked at everyone.
"Teenagers."
Jersey nodded.
"Exactly."
"Very important difference."
A Scarlet Fox fighter growled.
"Enough."
He looked at the others.
"Get them."
The room went silent.
Then everyone moved.
BLACKCLAW and Scarlet Fox fighters charged forward.
Ava prepared her telekinesis.
Louise's hands ignited.
James disappeared into another speed burst.
Clarence prepared her abilities.
Lena smiled slightly.
Kennedy cracked his knuckles.
Jersey looked at the incoming enemies.
"Well..."
"This is going to be interesting."
And then—
The battle began.
