Old enemies

An couple hours later three heavily armored personal carriers with the logo "Doom Guard is here to defend the people from heresy" on the side rolled up to the leaf covered sports car.

Stopping a decent distance away in clear trained caution. The vehicles back doors opened up all at the same time.

A group of soldiers dressed in white and blue trim uniforms exits the first APC in an orderly fashion as a large gruff looking man in an important looking uniform with a thick mustache, standing around six foot two smoking a cigar examines the car from a distance.

"no-one is to approach the vehicle. It is doubtful that they left anything useful inside. Lieutenant Marks co-ordinate with your team to clear the leaves and search the ground for fresh tracks." Ordered Major Tomson as he finishes his old smoke burning it up with his flaming words before lighting a new cigar with a snap of his fingers to replace it.

"sir yes sir" the soldiers respond with gusto as they start clearing the ground around the sports car in a precise manner. Many of the soldiers using advanced magitech scanning devices. They very curiously study the large beanbag near a tree before taking a small sample for the lab.

A dignified priest exits one of the vehicles and purposely walks next to the major watching the soldiers work.

His robes radiating a soft soothing ethereal light as he seems to ignore all his surroundings as he gazes into the distance in an assured knowing way.

"Bishop Andrews. Thanks to the angels we found this place so fast, does the heavens have any more information for us today?" asked Major Tomson respectfully.

"The heavens speak of a reunion of heathens.. In a place where the earth opens to the sky.. also.. he did it again.. I sense the car is full of them.. no point checking it they didn't leave anything else as you assumed" The Bishop stated with reverence never once changing his gaze from the direction the group had escaped in.

"Thank you Bishop. We will catch them with heavens will, these sinners think that they can abuse the powers gifted to them from above but they will have a reckoning" Declared the Major "Get your butts back in the transport soldiers we are moving out in ten! Marks report your findings!"

Lieutenant Marks runs up bows to the bishop and then solutes the Major "reporting sir, I have found large tracks starting here and leaving the area in the same direction as the sports car. We should be looking for a monster truck which will likely produce significant sound sir" reports lieutenant Marks.

"good job soldier, call in the helicopters and prepare to depart immediately" Ordered the Major as he jumped onto the back of the APC gesturing to the others to move out.

The bishop stared at the tracks pressed deep in the ground and sighed "what a waste of talent. Only 10% of the population are born with decent innate abilities and these examples have such incredible powers compared to average peasants… if only their powers where adequately evaluated and brought to the church to be trained instead of the military.. could this be a sign of the coming of the great change coming over the horizon as the upper levels of the church seem to be busy preparing as of late?"

The Bishop methodically walked over to the APC and entered the passengers seat.

Even though the soldiers looked impatient to leave no-one rushed him, in their eyes was only a look of reverence for him.

"May the will of the caretaker guide us Major" The Bishop preaches.

The soldiers all perform a quick prayer before the Major commands them to make haste after the escaped assets with a roar that sends small flames from his mouth "Get on with it soldiers and make your lord proud!"

The A.P.C's come to life speeding after their prey as the major radios in back up in the form of helicopters in an attempt to surround the fugitives.

"Make sure they have no avenue of escape this time, I want the perimeter to be completely surrounded! The targets are considered extremely dangerous but there will be absolutely no lethal measures as the main target is too valuable to risk being terminated so the Doom Guard must neutralize these excessively powerful individuals before they cause more damage!" The Major commands all the forces in the area.

All the troops are on high alert as this isn't their first time almost corning these slippery teens but are assured that with the help of the bishop and the will of their god they shall achieve success.
