My Angel system

Luis removed his headset from his face as he got up to sit on his bed, the encounter he had just had in the video game was still bothering him but he was glad they didn't say anything about his wings which meant they hadn't seen him the day he used it.

Ace took off his own headset to see Dylan's hand hanging over his bed from his own bed.

"Dylan." Ace called but there was no response. "Dylan." He called again shaking the bed but there was still no response from him.

"He's asleep," Luis said.

"He's been sleeping too much recently, it's like something is bothering him but he doesn't want to tell us." Ace said.

"Yeah," Luis said. "Have you tried asking him?"

"Yeah, and he told me it was nothing." Ace said. "You?"

"Same," Luis said.

"I just hope he gets over whatever is bothering him." Ace said.

Luis replied with a nod as he stood up from his bed and began to head towards the door.

"Where are you going?" Ace asked.

"To the library," Luis said as he opened the door and closed it behind him.

Luis was really glad that today had finally come, his deal with Michael was up today and that meant he no longer had to work at the library and was going to get the special books about Angels.

He walked to the library and opened the door to see Rose explaining something to a man standing in front of her counter. Luis slowly walked past them making his way to the shelf area but before he could enter the area he was stopped by Rose.

"Hey, I didn't see you leave the first time," Rose said.

Luis turned to her to see that the man she was talking to was gone and now she had that serious look on her face.

'Damn it, I should have used the teleporter from the dorm room.'

"You didn't see me leave because I used a teleporter," Luis said.

After giving it a thought he decided to tell her, teleporters weren't a secret from the world anyway but the tiny ones Michael used weren't known by a lot of people in fact it wasn't known by anyone who wasn't close to Michael.

"A teleporter," Rose said with raised eyebrows. "I didn't see you enter with a teleporter."

"It was a portable teleporter," Luis said.

"You know you have to have a license to own a portable teleporter," Rose said.

"It wasn't mine," Luis said.

"Who's then?"

"Michael, he gave it to me to return it later," Luis said.

Rose stared at him for a while before rolling her eyes.

"Why are you still standing there?"

"Oh, I thought you weren't done with your question," Luis said.

"I could ask you more questions," Rose said with a smirk.

"Please no," Luis said as he quickly disappeared in between the shelves.

He made his way to the special shelf, did the necessary procedures, and quickly entered the lair.

"You're back again," Nika said.

"Yeah, is Michael down there?" Luis asked.

"Yeah, he arrived an hour ago," Nika said.

That was the good news he needed as he headed towards the elevator and pushed the down button.

He arrived at Michael's lab to see the CEO doing something he didn't quite expect.

He was having a drink while watching something on the screen which was planted on the wall above the large shelf.

"Oh, how are you doing Luis?" Michael asked immediately after the Angel had stepped out of the elevator.

"I'm okay and a little excited I guess," Luis said as he walked up to him.

"Excited about what?" Michael asked and took a sip from the red substance in his glass.

"Don't act like you don't know," Luis said.

"Know what?" Michael asked, still pretending to be clueless.

"That our deal ends today."

"Oh yeah," Michael said. "So I'm guessing you're here to tell me you won't be working at the library anymore and want the books."

"Exactly," Luis said.

"Well you can quit the job if you want but the book is in a very tough place now," Michael said.

"You mean inside that locked shelf," Luis said, nodding towards the shelf.

"You're quite smart to guess that but I know that's not the only thing you saw there," Michael said, taking another sip from his drink.

"Yeah."

[ Aura vision activated ]

"What's the purple aura around the padlock?" Luis asked. "And it seemed to have spread around the whole shelf."

"I thought it was a normal padlock when I used it to lock the shelf but it turns out it was way beyond normal or ordinary," Michael said as he gulped down the last liquid in the glass and immediately stood up.

"What is it then?" Luis asked.

"A padlock protected with shadow enchantment," Michael said.

"What's shadow enchantment?" Luis asked.

"A spell cast by shadow witches or wizards on anything which protects that thing from any external force," Michael said. "Putting the spell on a padlock meant that whatever the padlock was used on, the effects would be transferred."

"Ok, but you can open it right?" Luis asked.

"What type of tough place don't you understand?"

"So you can't open the padlock," Luis said.

"No," Michael said.

"Have you tried using the keys?" Luis asked.

"Yes, and they melted."

"How are you supposed to bring the book out now?"

Michael stared at him for a while before picking up his tablet from the table.

"As far as I've researched the only thing that can break the shadow enchantment is a pure blade which is very scarce and the few that are owned by people are very very expensive."

"Are you sure I can't just cut it open with my water blades?" Luis asked.

"I've tried using weapons and almost brought my whole lab down while using my ability," Michael said. "What makes you think your water blades will work?"

"Because I'm not human," Luis said.

"Oh, so my ability didn't work because I was human," Michael said.

"I don't know, that may be the reason, there's no way my water blades won't cut through that padlock," Luis said, stepping up in front of the cupboard.

"Don't say I didn't warn you," Michael said as he pulled his chair to the side as the table in the middle moved down and was replaced by the floor.

"Nika please get me another bottle of whatever this is," Michael said as he looked at the bottle and then threw it on the floor.

"Affirmative," Nika said.

Luis raised his hands to form two blades out of water but these ones weren't as large as the one he had used in the game.

He released both blades with full force towards the padlock but as soon as the blades had touched the padlock they turned to normal water and splashed on the floor.

He didn't stop even after seeing how his first strike had made no effect at all, he formed two larger blades and sent them towards the padlock but they were still met with the same result.

"You're going to mop that floor," Michael said after taking a sip from his refilled glass.

The Angel was getting quite frustrated here as he formed multiple blades out of water and sent them there and like the other ones the strike was futile.

[ Water points: 5/80 ]

He had exhausted his water points and still he hadn't been able to make a dent on the padlock or the shelf.

"If water doesn't open you then fire will."

"Luis no," Michael said but his warning was too late as the Angel had blasted the padlock with two fireballs which immediately bounced back at him and knocked him back until he had crashed against the elevator door.
