Chereads / Symbiotic Cyborg / Chapter 9 - 9

Chapter 9 - 9

Frost slowly started creeping up the walls and windows of Skylar's classroom and he immediately knew something was wrong...

Portia...

Icicles began forming on the ceiling of Portia's classroom but she didn't realize it until she began shivering and breathing out clouds of mist.

She turned to the door which was exploded open by the sheer force of the ice forming in its corners and everyone saw Jack on the other side of the door.

Opening his arms, he sent ice forming all around the room, greatly reducing the temperature.

He then whispered her name, right before the icicles above them started falling like knives.

She screamed and made a highly pressurised cushion of air to protect herself and the others against the falling ice when one grew from the floor and cut her arm.

She screamed then looked at the small but dangerous cut as vapour began rising from it, and freezing her from the inside.

She breathed vapour one more time then fell backwards into a students arms then the wall of ice behind them exploded and Skylar flew in then the teacher told all of them to evacuate.

Skylar's feathers formed a staircase for all the students to climb down, except for one, who was disabled.

As his feathers flew back, he used one to pierce through and hold on to the shirt of the student, then carry her out.

You may ask the reason the students didn't defend themselves, well two reasons;

#1. Jack already looked quite leveled up, messing with him could end badly, even what he did to Portia was simple as he could have simply impaled her from below, or frozen her without anything touching her.

#2. It wasn't everyone's symbiotic ability that would be helpful in the situation, for instance, Yaa, the new student had to grow about a kilometre in height before she could be of any help, but any movement she made could cause an earthquake which could cause more damage than Jack had caused till then.

When Jack saw the target being carried away, and the teacher blocking his way, steam puffed out of his nose as he made a slide of ice around the teacher, freezing him solid, before he could react, then landing on the floor, analysing Skylar's ability for a second, from afar, then growing wings of his own, made of ice and frost, then flying after them.

Skylar placed Portia down somewhere he deemed safe and open.

She was as cold as ice as she struggled to speak, he gently placed his finger on her heart shaped lips as he plucked one of his feathers and held it before his face, then it disintegrated into strands which went to the wound and slowly warmed it, then flowed through her veins, doing the same.

Just then, Skylar heard a thud and looked behind him to see...Jack Frost had arrived.

***

Several of Skylar's feathers removed and propped Portia's head up like a pillow as he stood up and faced the idiot who had the audacity to hurt his girlfriend.

His wings turned flaming red as Jack said,"The master wants you too."

"Well you can tell the master that he can go to h*ll."

Jack grinned then said,"I will."

Then ice started growing towards Skylar as his wings flapped and feathers were shot.

They froze some of the feathers while the others manuvered through the ice forest to him, where they were blocked by a wall of ice.

Skylar used his wings to protect himself as the feathers all exploded, but no debris flew...

As the feathers were coming closer, the master told Jack to be ready then the ice immediately changed form, with the water molecules changing their shape to form...high density amorphous ice which was much stronger than regular ice I h.

The explosions did nothing but blow a breeze over the daggers as they continued moving and Skylar knew he had to come up with a new approach as ice started creeping up his legs as well.

He shot more feathers and this time, the ice exploded as electric charges combined with the explosion.

He looked to see Kofi, who said,"Take care of Portia, I'll handle him."

"Bro, are you sure?"

"Positive."Kofi said as electricity arched in his hands.

"...just, don't."

Skylar kept exploding the ice on his feet till he was free, then he ran to Portia.

Kofi faced his oldest friend, met in kindergarten, when the teacher was bullying him, just like his father always did, Jack not only stood up for him, but got into trouble for him as well, and from then, they were the closest of friends.

Jack then said in a voice that sounded like two different people were speaking in unison,"Get out of my way."

"Get out of my friend!"Kofi yelled stubbornly.

"It's your own funeral."

Crystals of ice immediately began to form around Kofi and started swirling around him and cutting him all over his body, distracting him till a huge sphere of ice rammed him in the chest, throwing him back about a meter and a half.

He coughed out blood and barely got up when spikes of ice grew and pierced him all over as Jack walked past him.

Kofi shivered as he looked at his best friend be manipulated like that, then his eyes began to glow white as he yelled then a burst of charges shot out from him in a spherical manner, melting through the ice and advancing towards Jack.

Jack just had to turn for a wall of pitch black ice XVIII to form and protect him, insulating perfectly from the negative charges.

Jack slid on the floor to get to Kofi and in an instant, had pierced him in the belly with a dagger made of ice I c, which kept freezing him from the inside, with death on Jack's mind.

Jack went towards the two lovebirds as Skylar stood between himself and the main target, he didn't even need to break a sweat on Kofi, talk about his dishonest and cheating son.

Jack blasted ice at Skylar but his feathers grew longer to protect himself and Portia, while being at the temperature of burning paper just in case.

By the time he had unfurled his wings, Jack had appeared behind him then blew a slight breeze as a massive column of cold air descended from the sky, and blew Skylar several meters away.

Jack turned towards the still unconscious Portia then touched her cheek, as frost began to form on it then Skylar yelled her name as he landed on his back, hard.

He saw Jack picking Portia up, then lost it...
