"We're few miles away." Rory announced.
Rory and his squad advanced through the back of the company and headed straight for the back door through the help Rory's powers and found the stairs that led to the top floor of the company, they began to ascend the stairs silently so as not to get attention.
They came to a door and halted behind it as Rory stood in front of it to inspect how many people are on the other side of the room, he closed his eyes for a while and sighed heavily.
"How many are they?" Ned asked.
"Twenty of them.!" Rory replied. "And they are advanced gifteds."
"Damn." Kai whispered. "What do we do?"
"We wait." Rory added.
"Why.?" Lyn asked.
"Shouldn't we be attacking?" Ned asked.
"I guess we should wait as he said." Reece said.
"And is that fear I smell from you?" Lyn turned towards Reece who shivered shakily.
"We do as he say." Zoe said. "Rory has a reason why he wants us to wait."
An alarm rang signalling trouble in the company and various footsteps and voices was heard in the lobby as everyone made their exits through the companies staircase, others through the elevator.
"Told you he had something in mind." Zoe smiled.
"Well... It's Sandy's team." Rory answered. "So we better advance."
"Right." They all said.
Rory pushed the door opened as they ran into the lobby even without looking back... With Rory leading the way they bumped into another set of gifteds that were coming down the stairs. Both candidates stared at each other for a while as if both candidates are planning on what they are about to do next.
"Damn..." Rory thought. "How come I didn't sense their thoughts when we came out of the door?"
The staring competition continued for a while as both candidates seemed to become like a statues, Ned adjusted his specks to observe the angle of the hall and the distance between them.
"50cm distance from us." Ned thought. "And we covered the space of 60cm length and 20cm breadth..."
He looked up still surveying the place.
"Damn... Thats 20 feet tall." He rolled his eyes. "Well that's that.... I have to do it before we get turned into barbecue."
Lyn looked at Rory and gave him a stare which had the statement "how come you didn't notice that they were coming?"... And Rory being a listener understood her thoughts and nodded telling her he has no idea why.
"Get them." One of the men yelled. "They are planning to escape."
"Rory get back now." Ned yelled.
Rory stepped back a little as a glowing net cage conjured off the ground covering and fencing them from the opponent, everyone turned to see Ned had his matrix symbolic spell circle on his right arm... His expression was that of someone who's angry and pissed off at the same time, he lifted his right arm to the sky as four golden cones appeared above him.
He looked down as light flushed through his specks before swinging his arm foward sending the cones through the net and headed straight for the gifteds on the other side of the net, one of them stretched his left arm as vapor escaped his arm evaporating the cones as it came close to them.
"You know what to do?" Ned looked at Rory.
Rory nodded in approval.
"Then get to it." Ned stepped in front of the rest of them. "We've got this."
Silence filled the air as the other candidates stared at the kids with rage on their faces, Lyn stood with Ned at the front row before Glen and Clint joined them... Ned stretched his arm sideways opening one side of the net for the rest of the team to progress, Rory looked at his team mates for a while before he joined the rest of them as they dashed past the security men there.
Few of the security men turned to chase after the kids that were already half past the stair case, Glen turned back immediately sliding out a brush with blue colours with gold embroidered designs with it's tip made of white soft brushes. He swayed them in the air as blue colored aura filled the air, before one could figure out what was going on... A wall appeared out of no where halting the security men in the process.
"A wall." One of them yelled.
"That isn't real." One of them said. "I've seen something like this before."
He ran towards the wall yelling as he was getting close to the wall and... Bang..... Thud.
"Are you okay?" Someone asked.
"Don't think so mate.." Another went closer. "He blacked out."
.
.
.
"How long is that wall going to last?" Kai asked.
"As long as Glen wants.!" Reece answered.
"Damn.." Kai exclaimed.
"What's up?" Reece looked at Kai.
"I thought that the classroom D was the weakest class of us all." Kai said. "But never knew you guys are way more... I mean you guys are dangerously powerful."
"Where did you think the D stands for?" Zoe laughed. "Our gifts are way too high for us to control.... That's why we were taken there in the first place."
The more the discussion went, the more they ran through the lobbies in the building. And they went into another hall which was big enough to contain large amount of people, they stood still for a while before turning their questioning stare at Rory.. Though his eyes were closed, he could sense their stares and it made him uneasy as sweat trickle down back of his neck.
"What?" He asked with high pitch.
.
.
.
"Ahhhhh"
A large clash sounded in the atmosphere as two individual collided. One of the security men held a golden fire canon in his hands and made impacts into Ned's matrix shield made of a circle with a rectangle inside and a triangle on the innermost ending with another circle, both of them hopped back due the force from the impact. Ned looked from the corner of his eyes to see another guard throwing zapping spikes towards him.
"10cm away from my body." Ned thought. "Nice combo attack you two."
Ned conjured another rectangular cube under his feet, using it to hop into the air doing a backflip in the air as he went upward the more all the while his arms were spread like that of a bird. He conjured two circular balls in both of his palm and another cube at his feet giving him another thrust towards both security men as he swung in the air in a circular motion before throwing the balls at both security guards.
The both of them counter attacked the balls with their fire and spikes, the ball exploded creating dusts in the atmosphere and blocking the views of the guards. Ned smiled and conjured two straight lines as if it was drawn by a pen, caught them with both arms and aimed at the two of them; he positioned his arm in the posture of a spear man before swinging them like javelins at the guards. As the dust fades away, the lines tore through dust due to the thrust from Ned's swings; it went with a swishing noise even for the ears to catch. Both guards coughed as they wipe the air from the dust made from their counter strikes and without quick notice the line slashed straight to the chest of both guards... Ned turned his bavk to the guards as the lines began to shine intensively like an atomic bomb about to go off and as both guards coughed oit bloood and bled from their chests, he snapped his finger.... Boom.... Both lines exploded and their body made contact with the ground cold.... Dead.
"Smooth." Ned murmured.
Clint held a flower closed to his face with his eyes closed and hair over his face. He breath heavily as if he was having a hard time breathing... Three guards head his way yelling, ready to attack him without mercy.. A little creepy smile came on his face before he opened his eyes
"PETALS BLADE." Clint murmured.
He raised the flower upward conjuring white petals that swayed around him like the winds was making it sway before it straightened itself flatly like discs, they thrusts faster the moment he swung his arms forward slicing one of them to death but that didn't stop the remaining guards that were heading towards Clint. One of the guards hopped into the air for few seconds before descending towards Clint who hopped back a little for the guard to land thrusting his finger deep into the ground as it cracked.
"Seems you guys meant business." Clint smiled.
The guard lifts his head to reveal a panthers eyeballs and all the time he was snarling.
"A were-panther." Clint flipped his hair backward. "Let's get serious then."
Clint placed the rose on his lips before joining both hands together as if he was meditating, another guard made wind-like shurikens that spines furiously... Then swung it towards Clint who stood still without moving, the shuriken cut past him.
"Got you." The guard yelled.
Instead of blood, white milky liquid came out of the sliced parts of the body making both men gasp in surprise with their mouth agape.... Latex... It was latex.
"Are you guys surprised?" Clint asked.
They turned around to see he was behind them.
"But how?" One of the guard asked.
"You wanna know?" Clint asked. "You shouldn't have dropped your guard."
"Huh." Was the reply.
Lyn walked into the scene majestically and stood in the middle of the hall as everyone had their own share of guards to fight, Ned walked past Lyn as she winked at him but he paid no attention to her.
"You won't get a husband if you keep up with that attitude." Ned adjusts his specks. "Class rep."
"And you will never have a girlfriend." Lyn teased. "Because of your lack of approach."
Ned halted for a while with his hand to his speck and nose breathing heavily as if he had an heart attack, he turned round towards Lyn and without looking he made a short line and flung it behind him towards a guard leg who was headed his way.
"Nice throw." Lyn teased again.
"When this is over...." Ned walked close.
"Then?" Lyn asked.
"........" Ned went quiet. "We will settle it when we get back.!"
Glen swipes his brush in the air like an artist would when he's painting emitting blue auras which brought out a large round fence covering the last of the guards that had survived the others attack and left them inside with Lyn who was still in the middle.
"Hello boys." She smiled as they turn to take a look at her. "Wanna play with me?"
Her body began to flow with electricity as it started from her feet up to her head with her eyes glowing an electrical blue light, the guards became scared just watching the whole show go on and the dark space began to emit blue-white light and it became even more intense.... Swish..... Thuds.
"Guess it's done." Glen placed his hand to his face. "Guess she likes to end things really fast."
"What do you expect from a class rep?" Clint sniffs his flower. "She's way too strong for us to contain."
"Well ..." Ned adjust his specks. "The truth is that they are others far stronger than her."
"I know what you mean." Clint closed his eyes.
