Chapter 5

"None of my attacks are working. All of you keep stalling while this weapon charges up.", Chief Jackson commanded his people.

"Got it.", Assistant Chief August responded. The rest of the police officers nodded and followed his lead.

"I'll fight too.", Martin interrupted.

"Are you sure about this?", Axel gazed into his colleague as he loaded his gun.

"You don't have to if you can't. I feel bad about making you fight earlier.", Jess said.

"We need every power we have, and just like what you said, fighting is more of my thing.", Martin focused his eyes on his colleague before charging into the enemy. Martin sprinted toward The Destroyer as he swung his right fist unleashing a destructive bolt of lightning. The Destroyer blocked the attack with his arms which were covered with thick rage energy.

"You still got more fight in you?", The Destroyer asked.

"I always have a fight in me.", Martin raised his arms unleashing a whip made up of electricity. He attacked him with both whips and the enemy dodged. The two clashed when all of a sudden, a positive sign appeared on The Destroyer's hands. Before he could react, different objects around him started bolting toward him, along with the trucks that hit him earlier. The trucks pushed him backward.

"Keep shooting! And I'll keep throwing things at him.", August ordered. He put his hands before him initiating another attack.

"I hate this.", The Destroyer whispered. Different road objects started flying toward him. He infused his right hand with an immense amount of rage energy and threw a series of explosive punches around him destroying all the thrown objects.

"Oh, god.", August said.

"Is this annoying mark the reason those things were being pulled toward me?", The Destroyer opened his hands at him as the mark got burned by pure rage energy.

"Anyone has an extra gun?", August was dumbfounded.

"Here.", Axel threw him a gun.

"And here's some ammunition.", Jess threw him some extra ammunition.

"I'm running low on ammunition!", one of the police officers shouted.

"Me too!", another one yelled.

"We will run out of ammunition soon. How much more time do you need?", the captain whispered to Chief Jackson.

"Just a several more seconds.", the chief replied in irritation.

"Okay, we'll get you that few more seconds.", the captain said. She grabbed something from her pocket.

"What is that?", the chief stared at her hand.

"Something that can give you the time that you need.", the captain answered.

"Are you kidding me? Isn't that Discord-S? Those are illegal explosives! Where did you get that?!", the chief said.

"Doesn't matter. Axel, Shield us, assistant chief you know what to do!", the captain ignored the questions. She enveloped her left arm with rage energy and catapulted the explosive directly at the enemy.

"Okay!", Axel put his hands before him generating hundreds of bubbles bigger than before that merged to form a giant barrier.

"Wait what do I do?", August asked.

"Use your-", the captain glared at him.

"Just kidding.", he interrupted. He added negative signs to all his allies and a positive sign to the farthest police car. Immediately, he and all of his allies were pulled into the police car. The Destroyer stared at the explosive unbothered by what type of explosion it would cause. In just a few seconds the explosive exploded and attacked the nearest entity. The impact of the explosion pushed The Destroyer backward by hundreds of meters.

"Hopefully this gives us enough time.", the captain said.

"We still need to make sure the bullet would hit him.", the captain added.

"I got a plan to make sure it would hit him.", Martin chimed in.

"We'll follow your lead.", the chief said. In a short period of time, the officers worked on their plan as The Destroyer swiftly made his way back to them.

"Alright, he's coming back!", the chief announced. The Destroyer jumped and landed in front of them crashing the ground near him.

"Another S-Tier weapon, I wonder where you got that from?", The Destroyer locked eyes at the captain.

"This is none of your business.", the captain said in a serious tone.

"Oh, I know it is none of my business but your colleagues might want to know.", The Destroyer pointed his hands at her coworkers.

"What is happening?", the police chief said in confusion.

"Don't listen to him, he's just trying to distract us.", the captain replied.

"What she actually wants to say is that she may or may not have been hoarding the funds for herself. Isn't that right?", The Destroyer said.

"That is not true!", the captain started panicking.

"Oh really? Then let your coworkers investigate how you handle the funds.", The Destroyer suggested.

"Do you agree? Look at them and say yes!", he added.

"Fine, fine, fine! They can check my records, my transaction history, or whatever!", the captain said.

"Look at them.", The Destroyer instructed. Before the captain completely lost her mind, the chief signaled his coworkers to initiate the attack. In an instant, August attached a negative symbol to Martin. He used his signature ability to its maximum to accelerate the pull of Martin to the debris of a rock near the enemy. Martin, on the other hand, used all his power left to unleash a lightning uppercut on The Destroyer. The attack caused The Destroyer to be paralyzed for a few seconds.
