Then the beast hawk turned downwards to its remaining opponents.
Mr. Lau, Alex Wei, and Leo Zhang had already gathered, they seemed to have guessed the situation, this mutant beast wouldn't be easy to defeat.
It was so strong that military-grade weapons couldn't kill it.
"It seemed the soldiers called it double S-grade, like SS-grade"
Marcus muttered where he stood, he glanced at the three awakened.
"So what are they going to do now, are they out of tricks, I meant plan"
Marcus saw Leo Zhang, the poor guy held his flank which had been slashed slightly by the fast-moving feathers.
It wasn't bleeding but there was a stain of blood on his shirt, perhaps he had stopped the bleeding.
At once, the colossal beast hawk which was hovering about 2000 feet in the air started flapping its large wings.
Although it was flapping it slowly before to keep itself hovering in the air but the flapping force was now increasing as if it wanted to do another devastating attack.
Mr. Lau seemed to have guessed the situation as he glanced at Leo Zhang and Alex Wei and shook his head with a grim expression.
"What, don't tell me you are out of plan"
Marcus whispered exasperatedly where he hid.
The air current created by the increasing flapping of the wings of the beast hawk was becoming stronger and the half-crumbled walls were shaking.
"SWOOSH!!... SWOOSH!!..."
Even where Marcus stood seemed to shake violently, threatening to collapse anytime.
Marcus just guessed the situation
'it seemed the beast hawk wanted to generate enough wind that will clear away the whole school building, or can it generate a whirlwind?'
Marcus' mouth almost hung open, he knew he would be caught up in it, no doubt.
His curiosity has gotten him into trouble.
After regaining his composure from the beast hawk's horrifying malevolent red eyes, Marcus had had plenty of chance to escape but he didn't.
Leo Zhang ran to Mr. Lau, he whispered to him.
Mr. Lau's eyes widened, he glanced at the windmill palm planted on the far side of the lightly wooded area.
The windmill palm of about twenty feet was bending into a curve and straightening back due to the strong wind generated by the beast hawk in the air.
Mr. Lau glanced back at Leo Zhang and shook his head immediately as if Leo Zhang had a dangerous plan.
He whispered to Alex Wei who stood and looked at the two with confused expression.
Upon hearing it, his body tensed up. Leo Zhang then nodded at him while placing his right hand on Alex Wei's shoulder as if to say farewell, like he wanted to die a hero, while Alex Wei nodded.
"Tsk!"
Marcus spat where he stood, he squeezed his face in displeasure while he felt the wind blow past his face.
He had already guessed the situation, is it thrilling playing hero, a question he couldn't answer.
"Anyway let's see what plan he has"
At once, Mr. Lau, Leo Zhang, and Alex Wei ran to the windmill palm, they stood at about twenty feet from it.
Marcus gazed scrutinizingly, trying to figure out what they wanted to do with the ornamental tree, then he realized.
The tree was no more than 20 feet tall, they were standing about twenty feet from the palm tree, and to top it off, they stood in the direction the windmill palm was bending to, Marcus had a guess, and then it came true.
The wind generated by the colossal beast hawk had increased to a stage where the half-crumbled wall Marcus stood by was already shaking violently even though there was a considerable distance from the beast hawk High in the sky and the half-crumbled classroom he was hiding in while catching the glimpse of the event.
Marcus looked at the windmill palm, its body had already bent to the stage that the large leaves were touching the ground.
Suddenly, Mr. Lau grabbed at the strong leaves of the windmill palm just as it bent close to the ground, it now turned into a situation of tug of war between him and the windmill palm.
Leo Zhang rushed to grab at the other leaves, granting Mr. Lau a helping hand.
While Alex Wei with his very built and tall body jumped atop the windmill branches as if he wanted to ride a rocking horse.
Marcus' eyes widened in surprise, he knew immediately that they wanted to use the windmill palm as a launcher while Alex Wei as a projectile.
"What sort of otherworldly strategy is this!!"
Marcus screamed out unconsciously but it seemed the sound was blown away by the wind rustling and whistling past everywhere, including his face.
Still flapping the wings that seemed to span nearly 15 feet forcefully in the air, the beast hawk started circling in the air, this time it was circling faster with the force of the flapping wings propelling it.
The air around the beast hawk started to twist and churn, and the leaves, debris, and dust around were sucked into the vortex forming beneath it, even the feathers that pierced the surrounding was caught up.
Marcus swallowed a huge gulp of saliva.
'This is a damn whirlwind!'
His mind screamed, it was already forming slowly as the beast hawk propelled in a circular motion 2000 feet in the sky.
No doubt, Marcus knew he would get caught in this.
"Damn it!"
Marcus spat as he witnessed the event unfolding, this was the first he would witness a creature generating a whirlpool, this creature is a natural disaster.
Marcus instinctively jerked his head at where Mr. Lau, Alex Wei, and Leo Zhang were.
Mr. Lau and Leo Zhang who held the windmill palm leaves were both circumambulating the spot they were, although only in a curve, from left to right and back, while Alex Wei sat atop the bent windmill palm, he stuck himself on top.
Mr. Lau and Leo Zhang seemed to be gazing at the beast hawk as they moved like they were actually targeting it.
Marcus couldn't help but think that the plan was dumb, although if Alex Wei was propelled, he could knock the beast hawk off from the air with his superhuman strength thereby preventing the disaster.
Even though the plan sounded dumb to him, all Marcus could do was pray it worked, or else he would be caught up in the disaster, given that he didn't have any power.
In Mr. Lau, Alex Wei, and Leo Zhang's case, they would definitely survive the whirlwind but not in his case.
Fear seemed to sprout out from Marcus again as he witnessed the impending situation.
Before Marcus knew it, Mr. Lau and Leo Zhang had released the windmill palm which in turn went back to its original state, thereby catapulting Alex Wei in the process.
Marcus' eyes followed Alex Wei's movement as he was propelled through the air, he coiled his right arm.
At once, Marcus witnessed a muscle bulge out like he gained an extra mass of muscle in the arm he coiled while he moved through the air in the direction of the flying beast hawk.
Marcus' eyes were closing and opening and his mind raced with doubt about the high-risk gamble.
Maybe it was based on luck or Mr. Lau had calculated it, it was unknown. The beast hawk happened to turn in the air in the direction Alex Wei was propelling from.
"SMACK!!... CRACK!!..."
There was a huge bone-cracking noise in the air and both figures remained still in the air as they collided, but it wasn't clear maybe Alex Wei had broken some bone or it was the beast hawk because the whirlwind dispersed immediately and they were both covered with dust particles.
After a split second that it happened, a colossal figure was knocked away from the two figures enveloped in dust while a small figure was falling down from 2000 feet high in the air, both figures were clad in thick dust envelopes.
Mr. Lau and Leo Zhang's mouths hung open, even Marcus was stunned.
Just as the smaller figure was about 1000 feet high, the dust was starting to clear away and it revealed it was Alex Wei.
He was diving head-first from the sky.
Before Leo Zhang could rush to help him break his fall, there was a large explosion as Alex Wei hit the ground with his head like a large meteor.
"CRASH!!... WHAM!!..."
The fall force was so great that jagged cracks spiderwebbed about a ten-foot radius across the concrete floor and chunks of earth and jagged rocks were strewn about...
Mr. Lau and Leo Zhang ran to him while Marcus came out of his hiding...
