The second Fireball exploded beside Joe, knocking him to the ground.
By the time he got up, he saw his comrades pushing aside the barricades. Those makeshift barriers weren't heavy, but he still saw someone convulse and fall to the ground while trying to move them.
Joe got up, only to see more than twenty comrades, while a good dozen lay on the ground.
Joe took a step, watching his comrades charge toward the camp, then several of them were blown away by a sudden explosion.
He saw his second-in-command lying not far ahead, staring towards him with unseeing eyes, having been shot in the chest.
He also saw those elementals stand up, and within his team, someone was roaring... beginning to twist, beginning to swell.
It was Chaos! Joe stopped in his tracks.
It was Cohen... Joe grabbed his own hair.
No! That couldn't possibly be Cohen!
He must have been replaced!
