Mixed Fates

Chapter 9.

Ian Pov.

“Alright, this is not a kill all mission. There are innocent children in there, so we go in and we kill all the guards but the people that you are not sure about bring outside.”

The people stare at me with so much concentration that I know I have a good group that I can trust.

“I have no idea what we are going into but like we planned back at the base. Group one, electric. Group two water, group three make a more straight way out and group four, the people.”

Everyone just nods their heads in understanding.

“There is only one entry so we need to go through that and that means they will be ready for that but just keep your heads up and work together. Keep your shield and guard up!”

With those works we start running with me in the front. Leaving my mother outside to take care of the injured coming out and making sure no one comes in. With these many people there is no point in hiding from the security shield they put up so they would know as soon as we crossed it. I am trying to keep a cool head like the leader I need to be but I am finally at their door steps and I just can feel the magic at my fingertips wanting to kill them. When we run through their barrier. Three people stop to break down the barrier around the door that I could not see since it is hidden but soon I see a silver metal door with grass grown all around it. Without even thinking about it I just run for it and blast it open with my fire magic. It did not open all the way but I am by it now and I rip it open bending the metal so it can never close again.

“Flashback”

“How are you going to keep them from just teleporting away when the attack starts?”

I look at my mother. She sometimes has no faith in me.

“ I already have people that are willing to surround the place and place a barrier hindering anyone from teleporting. The spell is so strong that I can’t even teleport when it is in place and to be honest I think you don't even stand a chance”

She lifts an eyebrow.

“And you trust these people to hold it?”

I smile at her, anyone else questioning me like this would find themselves without a tongue but she just somehow makes me feel like she is just trying to better myself.

“Yes I do”

End of Flashback.

When the door is open I start running down the hall that is slightly tilted down but not long after I feel something raining over us and I stop looking at what it is and to my horror I see people falling to the ground. I have a air barrier all over my skin so nothing can stab me but I bend down and see there is a syringe with some purple liquid in there. People were dropping like flies so I wield my air up all over the walls. I feel thousands of darts and syringes being shot at the shield but no can get through it now. The next door is blasted open but I can´t let the shield down! I have to keep going! I look at the faces passing me trying to remember who here has air magic!

“Henry!”

He just ran by me but hearing me yell at him he stops and turns around coming back to me.

“Do you feel my shield on the walls?”

He nods.

“Take over! Do not let it get passed”

He nods again, I feel his air magic lie against mine so I let mine fall away and start running again.

There will be people coming out to you a little sooner than we thought! Some paralyzing darts!

Got it!

I close the link between us and keep running, the door leads to a staircase going almost fifteen floors down I am guessing. I jump up on the railing and make my air magic hold me steady while I slide down. A few people follow my lead and soon I am almost at the front again. At the bottom there are five doors. People stop because they are not sure but I just burst open the first one.

“Split up!”

When I run through the first door I am finally met with some people but these people were guards judging by their clothing. So before I can respond I am blasted with magic to the wall and paralyzed. I am however not held long since she lost her consecration and the water stops. We are so much more than then that it does not take long for us to over power them and soon these twelve people are lying dead on the ground. I feel no remorse for them. There is a long hallway and there are so many doors. I look around at the people I have with me and more coming. There are over 300 that came to help me.

“Fred!”

He comes up with me and I kick open the first door. There is nothing but supplies there. I push my finger to the wall leading to the others and push my magic to make a hole all the way to the other side of the hallway.

“Are there any living people here?”

He needs an open space to feel people around him. He puts his hand on the wall and starts to take deep breaths. Then he opens his eyes and shakes his head at me. We walk across the hall and do the same thing. He just shakes his head. There are no people here. We are at the wrong door.

“Everybody to the next door!”

Everyone start to pile out of the room and start spilling into the other doors. I grab Fred by the collar before he could run away from me.

“Feel again. Now we have opened more doors, where are the people?”

He swallows looking horrified at me but then he puts his hands out and breathing again deep and slow. There are more people here that can feel people in a more efficient way than this but I have no time to find them. After excruciating three minutes he points to the third door. I nod my head and start running into that door. I almost fall down because I am met with more stairs.

“How focking deep is this!” I curse.

People behind me flinch away a little but I just ignore them starting to climb down the stairs. I hear fighting, screaming and magic combusting and I try to run faster down the stairs. However when I am at the bottom there is nothing but this wall but I can hear them.

“Someone break this illusion!” I scream.

Seconds later the wall disappears and we are faced with a very intense battle that we are not winning. I scream and run into the middle of it.

Three people are on the ground holding their heads and this very tall but thin woman stands over them. Without a second thought I rip all the air out of her lungs. She grabs her throat looking all around for the person attracting her. Then her eyes land on me running towards her and her attention is on me, I can feel her trying to access my brain but my shield is too strong so soon enough I have her head in my hands snapping it to the side.

An unwelcome satisfaction feeling runs down my back but I just brush it off and turn to the next one. This is a much bigger man that is more like me using magic like extra body strength, the bodies laying around him burns me.

“Hey ugly!” I yell at him.

He looks at me just as the bat I made out of air smashes into his face, I have perfected this technique as a teen. I can make anything with air and the ladies love it.

He flies to the side but he does not lose his footing. I try to move but his water magic is holding me to the ground and that gives him the opportunity to kick me in the torso. The air is knocked out of my lungs and I fall straight on my ass. His foot is quick to come up again aiming for my face but pushing out my airshield his foot meets an iron strong wall that breaks his foot. I could not hear the break because of the screaming in the room but there is no doubt. I quickly stand up and fill his lungs too much with air, bursting them. He wailes around dying but I don't stand around watching it.

We have the upper hand again but there are some people left giving a hell of a fight. I hope the people in the other rooms are doing alright.
