Chereads / Inner Beast / Chapter 103 - Season 3: Heroes: Chapter 96: "Villains Arise... And So The Heroes"

Chapter 103 - Season 3: Heroes: Chapter 96: "Villains Arise... And So The Heroes"

There are a lot of explosions, coming from around us. There are a lot of people screaming and running for their lives, everything is getting destroyed around us. We covered our heads from the flying debris.

THIS IS FUCKING CRAZY, WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING!

The people around ran, scattering. With instinct, I started walking, running, running towards a road that is not in chaos. A lot of people in cars started driving fast, some ran, screaming.

"Run! Run!" Someone shouted

People at the front stopped and started walking backwards, they turned around and ran. I looked at the situation, there were people getting slashed into half, blood splurted around. I don't know why and how but what the fuck!

I turned to the right and started running at an alleyway. My heart is pounding fast, yes I have power but.... I.... Am just too scared to act, I just don't know what the fuck is happening! People dying! Buildings falling down! Explosions!

I arrived at the other side, I was met by people running to the right. I looked to the left, there is shadow spreading around the buildings, the floor. There is a shadowy humanoid figure in the middle, his or her eyes are glowing bright white. He is spreading arms, his mouth opened.

"Muahahahahahaha! So this is how it feels getting revenge on society! It felt so good! This is what you get for jailing me for something I didn't even do! You all only cared about the rich one!" The shadowy humanoid figure shouted

I started running with the people going to the right. An explosion was made at the big building in front of me. It started titling and falling down at us.

"Release me Mateo! I'll carry that thing!" My Gigantosaurus inside shouted

I released my Gigantosaurus, I covered my head and closed my eyes. The building started to fall down at us. People around screamed and stopped running.

*Thud*

"ROOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAR"

We heard a loud thud above, then a familiar roar. I opened my eyes and looked above, a big figure covered us, a huge shadow covered us. It was my..... Gigantosaurus.

The humongous animal covered us, carrying the building, pushed it and threw it away from us. We continued running, I withdrew again my Gigantosaurus, making him walk will accidentally crush people on the ground to death.

"What is happening Mateo?! I just woke up after some kind of loud explosion!" My Gigantosaurus asked

"I also don't know, I stopped a kid from blowing up things and now this, I just, don't know. It is happening so fast I can't process shit!" I replied

We continued running, bumping at each other, people talking about the Gigantosaurus, some were talking about where it went but they don't know.

*Thud*

I felt something solid and heavy that had been thrown at me. It felt like a cobblestone, I got unconscious, I blacked out.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Sniff sniff*

"SCREEECH"

*Sniff*

"SCREEEEEEEEEECH"

I got awakened by the sound of sniffing and screeching sound, the screech sound like a dinosaur. I opened my eyes, I..... Am covered by cobblestones... I..... Am in a huge heavy rubble. I can't move my arm and legs, they are pinned down by the rubble. I felt hastily movements above me.

*Sniff sniff sniff sniff*

"SCREEEEEKEKEKEKE"

Someone is digging at the rubble on top of me, removing the rubble. I could see light, I could see a huge green scaly head above. It bit the last cobblestone on my head. It is a... Raptor, a familiar green raptor.

"You found him!?" A familiar voice

"SCREEEEKEKE" the raptor screeched as a reply

I heard footsteps, climbing the cobblestones. A hand emerged and carried a cobblestone on my face and threw it away. I met a familiar face, it was Elyzer.

"Oh shit, there you are. Damn, your face is badly bruised" he said to me

He started taking out the debris on my body. I started to feel pain, I could feel a lot of pain on my right arm, hip bone and on my leg, it is the feeling of broken bones.

"Not only on your face, but you are covered with bruises and scratches"

I raised my upper body, Elyzer helped me. Damn, my all around my body hurts and weak.

"How long have I been gone?" I asked Elyzer

"Nearly like a lot of hours. I've been looking for you using my raptor, tracking your scent and this is the place where he sniffed the most"

I tried to stand up, I couldn't because of the pain. Elyzer helped me stand up.

"Let's go back to the group. It is a hidden place, very covered and it will be hard to be seen by these... People who were destroying this city"

I looked around, I could see a lot of bodies above the rubble, bloods, and cuts on their body.

"While finding you, we found a lot of dead bodies my raptor smelled, thinking he had found you"

Elyzer's raptor ran around us in circles, it is like celebrating after finding me. The buildings around are badly destroyed, they are demolished, cut into half, turn into rubles and debris. I looked above and around me, there were dark smokes going up, the buildings and structures were on fire.

I went down the rubble, following Elyzer. His raptor is very joyous and has a lot of energy, running around. I followed Elyzer, walking on the destroyed street. The air was not very pleased to smell, the surroundings smelt burnt.

I continued following him, limping. The bone on my right arm is broken, my hip bone is broken, and my left is broken. The raptor ran around and smelled the surroundings, detecting any threats.

"Okay, we arrived, it's in this window"

It is a building, but it looked like the ground below it looked like it dug the ground. Elyzer proned and went into the window. The raptor was gone, Elyzer deposited it back to him.

I prone down and crawled to the window. I was met by a lot of people, talking, crying, whispering, one of them noticed me.

"Hey hey hey hey! Don't move a single muscle! Are you one of them?" He shouted

He has fancy clothes, probably those of rich men.

"He is one of us! And please lower your voice down" Elyzer said

The fancy gave me one last look and went back to staring at the ground. The place is dark, and looks like it is a motel room. There are sofas, a fancy bed, lamps, the ground is scattered with Rocks and tiny pieces of debris.

I entered the place and jumped down. I followed Elyzer to a group.

"Don't worry, we weren't followed I promise. This is Mateo by the way. He also has the same power as me but..... More but better"

The group looked at me, someone emerged from the crowd, it was the Allen's University Private School fighter's healer. She touched me, green light came out of her palm. She is healing me, all of the pain on my body started to go away, I can no longer feel the broken bones inside me, all of my bruises and cuts are gone.

"Thank you" I said to her

"Aren't you.... Heart-Eyed Cosplayer? You are just so popular all over the internet" one of people in the group said

Yeah, I may be popular but in that name, but not in my real name. I just nodded at him.

"No way Heart-Eyed Cosplayer is with us"

"What are we going to do now?" One of them asked

"I don't know, going outside would be risky. And moving to another place would be risky mostly with these civilians who don't have powers like us" one of them replied

"And of course, food and water source, I don't know how to solve that" one of them added

"Food and water source is very crucial for us. That means, people with power will be the ones who will go out and scavenge some foods and waters"

I looked around, there were no foods and water to be found.

"We have to scavenge today if we don't want to get hungry tonight mostly that woman has a child" Elyzer said pointing to a mother who was carrying a quiet sleeping child

"Damn, what is this apocalyptic thing happening in this city, is it only in this city or is it also happening in other cities or places?"

"I don't know man, everything just, happened so fast. The city is in ruins in just hours. Yes, we have powers but.... We have never used it for killing"

"So, who is going to volunteer, remember, this is going to be very dangerous mostly with those maniacs outside killing and destroying" one of them said and raised his arms

We remained quiet, suddenly, some of them raised their hand. One..... Two.... Three... Four..... Four raised their hand. Elyzer raised his hand, suddenly, my hand was automatically raised on its own. What the fuck!? Seeing Elyzer raising his hand made me raise my hand also.

"Uhhhh, anyone else? And so can we have a support power like they give someone a barrier thing to shield us?"

..... No one raised their arm

"Okay, this is going to be risky if we don't have support power like those. Taking Irene with us, our healer is very very risky"

"I know a nearby small grocery store nearby. Good thing I ran and saw it before going here"

"Okay, let's go! Lead us the way Claire"

We started going to the window, one of the males jumped and started climbing. Hays, not introducing one self before going is very stupid.

"Kids! Where are you going! It's dangerous out there!" One of the adult males shouted, he is wearing an office worker formal clothes

"Don't worry sir, we are going out there to scavenge food" the guy climbing at the window replied

"But you are all just kids!"

The guy on the window stretched his left arm, root veins started to come out of his arm.

"We have powers that's why we want to. We will be your protectors, your hero, we will fight this people who destroyed the city and killed people"

The adult guy went quiet. One of the girls on the line climbed the window, her ass bounced. The three of us boys panicked and looked away, the one girl looked at us, suspecting us.

The girl finished climbing, the girl next on the line looked at us, we just continued looking away, whistling, looking at our hands, trying to distract ourselves. She jumped and started climbing, we looked.

Oh yeah, nice ass, 10 out of 10

And we looked away. We waited for our turn climbing, all of us finished. We looked around, the coast was clear. We walked on the street, following Claire. The place is in ruins, we could hear explosions around. There are 2 turns ahead of us, left and right.

We hugged the wall and looked at the right, no one was there. We looked to the left, no one was there. We continued following Claire, running, hugging the wall.

"Wait, do you guys hear that?" One of the boys asked

We stopped running, coming into a halt. We could hear something, something like the sound of a helicopter. Something tiny revealed itself in front of us, it looked like a drone.

"Hide!"

We went into a post, each of us have a post to hide in to. We hugged our post. The drone went nearer, it went by me. It is a black drone scanning the area.

"Whatever you do, do not disturb or attack it. We don't know if it's a friend or foe but touching or attacking it, the owner of it will know our place"

We waited, waiting for the drone passed by. The drone is looking around, the drone went far away. We stopped hiding and continued running, following Claire. We went to a clearing.

"There it is" Clair said and pointed it

We looked, we saw a damaged grocery store. But it looked like it was still enterable. We could see products on the shelves. We went towards it, walking silently, crouching.

We arrived at it, we took one last look at our surroundings. We looked inside the grocery store, something... Is not right, something is not right. On the floor, there is... Sand. The floor is covered with a sea of sand. There is sand at the door of the grocery store.

"Why is there sand in here?" I muttered

"Maybe one of those maniacs can control sand or have powers about sand" Elyzer replied

"I don't know, there isn't sand scattered around here. Only here in the grocery store" one of the boys replied

"Elyzer, use your raptor's nose to smell if someone is nearby. Oh yeah, also make it quiet, it is really very loud that it might reel someone" I said to Elyzer

Elyzer released his raptor. Elyzer started talking with it, the raptor nodded and started walking around sniffing.

"That's your ability? Release animals? That's a beautiful animal..... But" Claire asked

"No, there's still more. I'll make it as a surprise instead of saying it" Elyzer replied

The raptor walked around, sniffing. It smelled the ground, towards the entrance door, it sniffed the sand. Suddenly, it started to move aggressively.

"SCREEECH"

"What's happening to it? Is it saying something?" One of the girls asked

"He said he is detecting something from the sand, something alive" Elyzer replied

Elyzer took a stone from the ground and threw it at the sand by the window. It is hard sand, the stone bounced.

"Maybe there's someone buried under there, still breathing"

"I.... Am not sure"

Elyzer stood up and started walking at the entrance. The raptor tried to stop him, but he walked in the hard sand.

"What are you doing?" I asked him

"Just checking, if something happened, come and save okay?" He replied

We watched him, he entered the grocery store. His raptor stayed, but the raptor kept crying, trying to stop Elyzer. Elyzer walked slowly on the hard sand, he went to the nearest shelf to take a canned food and threw it at us.

We stood up, thinking it was okay. But Elyzer stopped us using a hand sign.

"Just stay there, all of you" he whispered

He continued taking the canned foods on the shelf and threw it at us. He is using his raptor speed while taking the canned foods. The guy with the power to take out veins and roots on his arms uses his veins to catch the canned food. Elyzer walked around, he went to the nearby fridge, he opened the fridge door and started throwing us with bottles of water and sodas.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Underneath The Sand*

They are taking too long to come inside. I could detect a lot of movements above me but there's only one man stepping on my sand. Something is wrong, don't tell me, they know.

It's very obvious, why would there be sand here. You know what, I have to blow my cover then. I will use this man above me to pressure his or her friends to come and help him.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With the raptorous speed of Elyzer and the veins and roots of one of our guys, we are easily getting a lot of goods. The others looked around us while I looked inside the store.

I only stared at Elyzer, looking and analyzing around him and near him, mostly the sand on the floor. Suddenly, a humanoid figure of a hand full of sand emerges below Elyzer. It started going up, arms covered with sand started to reveal. It is reaching for Elyzer's leg.

"ELYZER! BELOW YOU!"
