A Bump In Their Plan

Alex saw the two Raijū transform into balls of lightning and snickered.

'Yes. Use up your power,' he thought.

But he only thought that because he imagined they would use their powers to get rid of him.

Seeing them dart left and right, his heart skipped a beat.

'Fuck!'

He wasn't fast enough to follow them and could only watch in horror as he watched them go for his allies.

He froze momentarily, time crawling forward around him as he imagined the worst.

Juan almost getting clawed in half. Jack falling from his perch.

He saw it all happen and knew he was too slow to react.

Jack was getting closer to the ground, where he would assuredly suffer grave injuries in the best-case scenario. He would never get there in time.

Juan, flying sideways through the air, was about to fall to Cory's feet. There was nothing he could do to help him.

'Did we bite off more than we could chew?' he wondered, his heart beating fast.
