"What took you so long mate." Sandy groaned.
"Sorry it took a while." Neil smiled. "I had to get myself together."
Silence.
"And also brought back up." Neil looked at Delia who stood far from them.
Her face seemed to be normal but her eyes told a different story, she was pissed off by something and everyone noticed that.
"Did you do something wrong Neil?" Sandy thought.
"Well..." Neil looked away. "I held her hands actually!"
"You did what?" Sandy shot a nasty stare at Neil.
"It wasn't my fault you know." Neil looked at Sandy innocently.
"Well if you two have something going on in your heads..." Jayden yelled. "You better let it out now so everyone could know what you guys are talking about."
"Yeah... The kids right." Cheryl said. "And by the way... Where's Freda and Jade."
"I left them in a safe place." Neil said.
Neil looked through the corridor but his vision was somehow blocked, he tries to strain his visual prowess but it was all for nothing... Nothing came to his view.
Without further delay he pointed at the door and stared at his comrades with a questioning expression, an expression that even those without psychic powers could understand.
"They went in there." Cheryl nodded. "They are going to find Chiyo in there."
"Guess we have our jobs cut off for us." Neil looked at Delia.
"Then we better hurry." She said and walked away.
Sandy looked at Delia before taking his attention to Neil, he doesn't know what's going on but he believed they are were up to something.
"You mind explaining something to me." Sandy said.
"Later." Neil said. "I need to handle something and meanwhile.... Try and get out of here."
"How am I going to carry two heavy dudes." Cheryl cried.
"Don't worry...." Neil looked at Cheryl before leaving the room. "Help is on the way."
Just as Neil disappeared from the room, Lyn and her team mate came into the room through another door.
Cheryl sighed at the relief that they came on time. Lyn looked at the mess in the room and had a devilish smile on her face, she directed her stare to Cheryl as she walked towards them.
"You did this?" Lyn asked.
"Yeah I did." Cheryl smiled.
"Seemed you did the hard job." Lyn smiled.
"Hey..... We help too you know." Jayden yelled.
"Yeah..." Lyn smiled. "Only by making an entry."
"Are you kidding me?" Jayden went red with anger.
"Hey..." Sandy tapped Jayden. "Pay no attention to her.... You did great."
Glen went over and helped Jayden to his feet, likewise Ned as he helped Sandy to his feet and smiled.
"Seemed you had a nice plan this time." Ned said.
"Yeah." Sandy answered with an heroic tone.
"Though it failed." Ned laughed.
"Meaning.?" Sandy barked.
"Relax." Ned laughed.

Boom..... Swish....
An office door swung in the air, shattered to a thousand pieces as it was about to hit an office chair. Delia and Neil walked into the office just after the explosion; Delia was on her killer instinct and ready to respond to attack any that comes her way, Neil on the other hand seemed calm and carefree with his left arm stuck into his pocket while the right in top of his head and eyes closed like someone who's tired.
"I still think that we should have used my idea of entry..." Neil yawned. "And not yours."
"Suit yourself..." Delia said coldly.
"You should work on your ways of talking you know." Neil said with eyes still closed. "You do hurt someone's feelings with those cold words of yours."
Delia looked at Neil with a nasty cold stare, Neil did nothing but smile before turning his face for her to see.
"I can still see you." Neil telepaths.
Both of them turned to see that the chair was facing the windows and seemed unmoved, without further warning it turned round... Showing the man sitting on it with a cigar on his left fingers and his right leg crossed over the other, with this gesture he puffed out a large amount of smoke he drew from the cigar.
His blonde hair were nicely oiled and combed, milk suit nicely ironed with a marching black shoes... He had deep blue eyes and flashing ornaments on him.
Neil shifted his head as if he was looking at his dressing code, though his eyes were still closed for he doesn't want them revealed to his opponent yet.
"Seemed you two had the balls of coming into my company." The man spoke with authority. "And making a mess out of it."
"You shouldn't have taken one of us." Neil said. "Because we don't let go of any of us.... We had to come get them back..."
The man puffed out another big smoke that nearly covered his body, Neil's eyebrow suddenly narrowed as if he has seen something... Boom... The room exploded with large wind gushing out of the room, the dust from the explosion faded away.
"You were fast enough to escape from my punch." The man said. "Not bad kid."
Not too far away was Neil who carried Delia in his hands like a princess, the man had a fighting stance with his right fist in front of him and the left slightly below his waist... He smiled as the dust faded off his face for his opponent to see he is feeling triumphant.
"Carrying me like this has only one consequence." Delia looked at Neil who's eyes were still closed.
She looked at him for the first time in a long time with a surprised eyes though her expression remained blank.
"How...." Neil thought. "How did he move too fast towards us even without moving."
Neil kept his eyes closed but his expression showed he was observing their new enemy, his three-sixty vision made it easy for him to catch his movement.
"You may have dodged my first attack." The man placed his cigar to the side of his mouth. "But you won't escape me next time boy."
"You think so?" Neil smiled.
"Huh." The man puzzled.
"Come at me with your best shot." Neil smiled. "Unless you're scared to face a kid."
The last words pissed him off that he dashed at Neil without thinking... Swish... Neil moved behind him and that puzzled him, but it didn't stop him for he turned round without halting and without quick notice.... Swinging his punch out wide.... Bang... Instead of a person he punched his office chair. Neil looked at him with his eyes closed as he pants silently and slowly, the man looked more terrified at the way Neil dodged his punch three times....
"Normal people don't dodge my punch that fast." He thought. "How does he catch up with my attack."
Neil watched the man as he contemplate around the room, as if searching for someone.
"His illusional movement can make anyone lose focus and confuse them." Neil thought. "I have to figure out a way to end this."
The man moved again with his illusional motion that can make one's eyes get confused, he swung out towards Neil who stood firm without budging or dodging. The man was an inch close to Neil and his punch had gone ahead of his body with the aim of Neil's face.... Swish..... Bang..... Blood splatter on the ground.
"Impossible." The man yelled. "How is it that am the one who got punched and not you?"
Blood dripped down his mouth massively as he staggered back a little, Neil pants gently as he kept his punching stance.. He had switched position with him and took his punching stance. The man observed that Neil's eyes were still closed, it sent a cold chill to his spine as he wondered how Neil could switch positions with him with his eyes still closed.
"You closed your eyes and yet...." The man said. "You could read my every move.. How's that possible."
Neil stood upright and turned his face to the man's position but this time.. He wasn't smiling like he used to before.
"I have played too much for the day." Neil said. "Why don't we get serious... What do you say?"
The man observed that Delia was few miles away from them and she was observing the way he moved, he decided to get rid of the both of them at once.

"This is it." Rory said.
"Is that....?" Zoe gasped.
"Yes...." Was the reply.
They stood in front of a large black door that seemed impenetrable, Zoe walked close to the door and touched it before rubbing her hands through it to feel the smoothness of the door.
She removed her hand with the gesture of punching it.
"Don't...." Reece cried out.
"Why?" Zoe asked.
"I sense a strong yami in that door." Reece said. "And if you use your kind of gift on it... You will be drained."
Kai watched them argue for a while, without warning he pushed through them and walk towards the door. He placed his hands on it, just as everyone turned towards his direction... His hand phased through the door, their mouth fell agap as he moved in with ease....
"What just happened.?" Reece asked. "Did he just go there to get absorbed?."
Few seconds later Kai came out of the room empty handed and confused.
"What is it?" Reece asked.
"I don't know how she looked like." Was the reply. "There are too many people in there."
Silence.
"You said people... Are you telling me that." Zoe eyes went wide.
"Yes... They are all kids." Kai answered.
They stood firm as if they were stroke by lightning, or had seen a ghost and are frightened of the sight.
"Show me.." Zoe offered Kai her hands.
Without hesitation Kai grabbed it and walked to the door, just like he did before... They went through to the other side of the door.
"What is this?" Zoe gasped.
Kai was right after all... There was a big bright room filled with large cones with young kids inside of it. Each cone had a blue liquid substance in it, the kids inside of it were not above thirteen years of age.
A tear dropped of Zoe's eyes as she looked at the room in horror, she suddenly went mad and yelled... She moved towards the cones and was about to smash through all of them, but she was stopped midway by Kai's grip.
"Let go." She barked. "Don't stop me."
"I have seen this before." Kai warned. "If you smash through those cones... Everyone is going to die."
"Huh..." Zoe gasped.
"I lost someone important to this same incident." Kai dragged her close to himself. "It was the same cones."
Zoe relaxed her tensed muscles and Kai felt that she had relaxed and let go of her arm, she slowly walked through the room and spotted something that made her drop to the ground.... Crying..... Kai ran towards her to see what she saw, Kai's eyes went wide at the sight of the horror.
"What is this...?" Kai asked no one. "Is that her?"
Zoe couldn't answer the question and remained stiff, Kai let go of her and walked towards the door.
"We need a tech expert to handle this." Kai turned towards the door. "I will be back.... Don't do anything rash."
Zoe did nothing but nod, Kai walked out of the door the same way he came in.
