Raptor was kidding when he said his Magic form was stronger. The man-looking beast changed forms in front of us.
His claws now reduced in size, almost like big nails. His toes too, became shorter and his jeans had gone. He wore a black and white dress. It kind of reminded me of a one-piece but in a spookier way. His legs were barely visible. Even his hands were covered and his whole skin looked red now. Raptor's Magic Form had been unleashed.
We were already tired fighting. I knew that I wasn't ready for another fight and my friends also didn't look too good. "I will awaken my lord and if you dare to be an obstacle, I have no choice but to throw you out of my path!" He said. His voice hadn't changed at all. I resisted the urge to tell him, you can go, awaken whoever you want. Just spare me!
Lily yelled, though not as strong, and attacked Raptor. All Raptor did was raise his hand with a wicked smile. (I don't think the smile had anything to do with the magic.) Immediately, the ground in front of Lily progressed upwards. Lily almost banged into the now hill-looking obstacle. "You cannot beat me." He said.
We exchanged looks, deciding whether to attack and how to attack. With this new kind of power, Raptor looked unbeatable. Still, Oliver and Xavier ran to him with their weapons. Again with his hand, Raptor just signaled a tree which got uprooted and came dashing to them. They flew off far away. I was the only one left who needed a smack. Raptor looked at me as if to say, you too want some?
I knew we needed to do this together. Behind Raptor, Lily was trying to get up. I just looked at her and she got the message. I charged and slashed Magnum in front of Raptor. He simply caught it by hand. My battle-axe felt as if trying to come back to me. I tried my best to push forward but couldn't. I looked up where Lily was about to hit Raptor. He just smiled and, with his other hand, showed a 'grabbing' gesture. Immediately, she stopped midair. Along with Raptor's hand, Lily went to the same direction and fell down.
"You look like you have some more power than others." Raptor praised me which sounded like he was pity. He used his other hand and did something weird. A yellow light surrounded his hand and he just touched my chest. I suddenly felt waves of heat flowing through me. Though I wanted to scream, I couldn't. It was like an endless torture. Then I flew like a magnet to a nearby tree. I hit my head and fell down. My white shirt was all torn, with scratches all over my body. Even my back was half exposed.
Then suddenly, Raptor stopped destroying everything. He just stared at me. He gawked at the symbol on my back and his jaws dropped. "It can't be! You…." He couldn't finish his sentence. I was pretty sure he was referring something to my symbol on the back. It was a Z sign. It never made sense to me and I always thought my father had drawn it. "Guys," I said. "I need to unleash Magnum now!"
