61 A Brawl in Russia

“Go, go!” Malachi shouted as we hid behind a pole. But as we did, I saw four people behind them.

“Why are Tisiah, Nikki, September and Nichelle here?” I asked.

Malachi was frozen in confusion and fear. Tisiah gave a wave at us, and I gave one back unsurely.

The car pulled into the driveway, and it immediately stopped. Two men got out of the car, but they were holding wands ready to use them at any time, as if they were prepared for an attack from someone or something. But then someone came out of the car, and my heart skipped a beat from that.

“Rocke?!” September mouthed in fear, as Rocke got out of the car slowly with his sunglasses on, looking around nervously like he was expecting someone to attack him. Marcello looked at him with some sort of envy, before turning back towards the men that were in front of him and raising his gun slowly to their heads.

“What are you doing young man?” Rocke asked. “What have they done?”

Marcello slowly turned around, still aiming at their heads as they raised their hands slowly into the air in front of them and began to slowly back away from him. Rocke chuckled, “So I was expecting to see the Armonk from you I believe. It seems you’re still a bit slow to understand why you need it.”

“How did you know? How did you know where I was?” Marcello asked angrily as he looked at Rocke.

Rocke laughed in return as he held his arms up in the air as he spoke in Russian, “You have no idea how long we have been searching for the Armonk for, and your little self is simply not worthy of having it to yourself.”

.....

Then he said in English, “Give me the Armonk and let’s all be on our way.”

Marcello kept looking at him with a frown on his face before slowly lowering his gun. Rocke walked over towards Marcello, who quickly shot two men in the head before turning around to walk away. The alleyway was filled with bodies, and the other five men stared in horror.

Marcello moved over to the van and grabbed the box, which I vividly remember, and gave it to Rocke who chuckled, “Ah yes, this beauty. We were after her for quite some time.” He then placed the box into the back of the car and slammed the door shut.

“Have fun. Let me know if you want to trade,” he said with a smirk on his face as he turned around and began walking back to his car. “We’re open to those types of things.”

“We need to go for that Armonk now!” Malachi said. I shook my head immediately. “That’s just suicide.”

“You wimp, I wonder how you even won that WAC contest,” he said. “I’m going in.”

“No!” September ordered. “Stay where you are.”

“You’re not the boss of me,” he said. “You’ll be thanking me later.”

He ran towards Rocke, as Nikki shouted, “No Malachi! You’ll get yourself killed!”

Malachi ignored her and ran towards the van as Nikki followed him, as if she had forgotten that he didn’t listen to her at all. “No!” Tisiah shouted as he ran after her.

Rocke turned around and found himself seeing Malachi with his wand, charging at him with speed. Quickly Rocke ducked the swing, which missed him completely, and he fired off a spell at Malachi’s chest, but he dodged it easily and kicked Rocke in the stomach. He rolled and then got up onto his feet.

“You kids again,” he grumbled, but then smiled. “That must mean that Connor is here too, but I’m not sure how many of you can handle me,” he said as he raised his arm towards Malachi’s face.

Suddenly, Malachi’s wand began to glow blue and fire erupted from it as he shot three spells at Rocke. Rocke was shocked for a moment as he watched Malachi’s wand begin to burn again and then he quickly dodged them and raised his wand to defend himself.

He laughed in amusement as he continued to laugh. He then fired off another spell at Malachi’s feet and then another one towards Malachi’s face, but he was able to dodge these two too as they fell back and dodged another attack.

“I need to help him!” I shouted, but September shook her head. “Don’t be dumb like them!”

I was about to run towards Malachi when I heard the loud sound of an explosion behind me as I was knocked down by something and landed on the ground as I covered my head as best I could to avoid falling into a puddle of blood and gore that had once been two people who had been standing right there.

I got up again, seeing five of Rocke’s guys charging at me. Quickly I prepared my Perk to be ready, and I swung a punch at them, but they dodged it as one of them used their wand to strike me across the face with lightning that sent me flying back into the wall before falling onto my back.

I immediately got up, dusting myself off. The good thing about my Perk is that not only do I have super strength, I can withhold things as well. One of them charged at me, as I ducked a swing and threw in a punch that sent them flying, but as I turned around, I saw Rocke walking towards me with his sunglasses still on as he chuckled once again.

“Now where were we,” he said as he began walking towards me slowly before slamming his fist on the ground. The force sent me into the air, and I saw Nikki looking at me with a frown as I began to fall towards Rocke once again. I tried to prepare myself for the impact, but it never came.

Then I felt September carry me down onto the ground again, and I looked up at her in confusion. She was breathing hard, and I could feel her heart racing as she pulled me into her arms, holding me tightly against her body. “That was close,” she said.

“Aww, girlfriend rescue boyfriend, aww,” Rocke mocked. “Pathetic.”

He instantly shot lasers out of his eyes, hitting September and me with several beams each before throwing out another set of lasers at Nikki who ducked in time. She looked up at me, worried and terrified as I looked back at her. “He’s crazy!” Nikki shouted. Soon enough, the five henchmen began to speed towards her.

Quickly, she got out her wand, blocking a swing from one of the men’s wands, before firing off a cannonball using her manifestation powers that sent him flying towards Rocke who barely dodged him.

He shot another spell at Nikki that sent her flying backwards. She slammed into the wall, as dust began to fly everywhere from where she had slammed into the wall.

Nikki quickly got up, holding her head as she began to cough up blood and rub her chest where she had been hit by one of Rocke’s bolts. “Nikki!” Tisiah shouted, running over to her as she struggled to get up on her own.

Tisiah pulled Nikki into a hug as she continued to cough up blood.

“Are you okay?” Tisiah asked, but Nikki shook her head. Tisiah held her tight in fear as he looked around nervously for Rocke.

He was nowhere in sight as the five henchmen charged towards them again. But Tisiah’s eyes boiled in rage, as he threw himself forward and shot a blast of fire from his wand at them, burning the five men as they were blown away from the force of it and fell back on their behinds, making me laugh with delight.

“That’s crazy!” I shouted in enjoyment, but then Rocke appeared over the corner.

“What the!” I shouted, as he shot lasers from his eyes towards me, but I was able to dodge them all as they shot towards the ground. “Young boy, we’re not finished!” he shouted, running towards me.

Suddenly, a huge explosion came from behind me as I turned around to see Tisiah charging at Rocke with his wand out in front of him.

“Oh, no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no!” I shouted in terror, as Tisiah and Rocke dashed and leaped at each other, as a big bright light formed in the middle and then exploded in a flash of light as it sent us flying backwards.

I hit my back on the ground hard, and I heard my head make a loud thud as I slowly turned over to my side. My ears rang, and I rubbed my head to try to get rid of the ringing in my ears before slowly getting up on my feet. But as I looked up, I saw everyone groaning in confusion of what happened.

But here’s the thing though. What I didn’t see was Tisiah or Rocke.
