Episode 7

"Once we get to Martin's flat we'll be able to get a plan together, and then we can take care of Oracle once and for all," Jayden said. The group walked down the busy street towards the suburbs where Martin lived. Jayden's phone lit up, "Yuki is calling," he said as he answered. Vere and Devin both laughed, "Ball and chain weighing you down?" Vere asked. Jayden shook his head, "Yuki?" He asked. "Jayden...you need to get back here as far as you can..." Yuki replied. "Is everything okay?" Jayden asked. Yuki was quiet for a moment, "Yeah...but Martin thinks you guys may be in danger," Yuki replied. Jayden stopped walking and looked around, "Right...we'll be there soon," Jayden replied. "What's the matter?" Anubis asked. "We have company," Jayden replied. Vere and Devin continued to joke around, but Jayden stopped walking. "Hey man we're just messing ar...." Devin began, "Wait..." Vere stopped walking too, "What's up?" He asked. "Do you feel it?" Atum asked. Devin nodded, "I can feel the vibrations in the ground...there's a group of men coming this way and they are armed," he replied. Jayden and Vere looked at each other, "Well..time to get some exercise in then," Vere said as he cracked his knuckles. "Be careful," Loki said. Vere nodded, "We're not running away this time," he said. A group of Oracle agents began to walk closer towards Jayden, Vere, and Devin. "It would be smart of all of you to stand down and come with us," one of the agents said. "This guy must know who he's dealing with," Devin said. "And it would be smart of all of you to leave here with your lives in one piece," Jayden said. The agents pulled out their rifles and aimed them at Jayden. Screams from surrounding civilians filled the air as they frantically ran for cover. "This is your last warning," the Oracle agent said. Jayden smiled and stepped forward, "Too bad for you we don't give second chances," he said. Jayden teleported behind one of the Agents and kicked him on the side of his head, sending him flying into a parked car. "FIRE!" the Oracle agent cried. The agents began firing their weapons as Jayden, Vere, and Devin avoided the incoming rounds. Vere raised his hand and a massive ball of wind formed around it. "AERO SPLITTER!" Vere shouted as the blast of energy surged towards the agents, sending them into a wall. Devin slammed his fist into the ground creating a shockwave that launched the remaining agents into the air. "Finish them up Jayden!" Devin shouted. Jayden jumped into the air and clasped his hands together, "SIREN'S SPHERE!" He shouted. A black orb of purple and red energy formed in Jayden's hand, "You should have taken our first warning," Jayden said. Jayden fired the ball of energy, which consumed the agents and exploded. Debris flew through the air and Jayden landed on the ground. "Well that was simple enough," Devin said. Vere clapped his hands together, "If this is all they've got then taking Oracle down permanently will be easy," he said. "Guys..." Jayden said, "We're not out of the woods yet." Armored vehicles pulled up and Oracle agents poured out of them and surrounded Jayden and the others. "You had to say something to jinx us didn't you?" Devin asked. Vere smiled, "Yeah, fuck me right?" The agents readied their weapons, "Stand down now or prepare to be eliminated," An Oracle agent called over a megaphone. "Is this all you've got?" A voice called from above. The agents looked up along with Jayden, Vere, and Devin. "Is that....?" Vere began. A woman stood on top of the building above and her turquoise hair flowed around her. Her bright blue eyes glistened in the sun light as she looked down at the agents. "Looks like I'll have to step in," the woman said as she smiled. "MI..AUN.." Jayden began to say. The woman jumped off the building and flipped into the air. "PURPLE FLAME TRAPEZE!" The woman shouted. Purple flames ignited around the woman as she began to flip faster through the air. "SHIT! GET OUT OF THE WAY!" The Oracle agent shouted. "Too late," the woman said. The purple flames erupted down towards the agents and consumed them. There was silence and then the woman landed on top of a destroyed armor vehicle. Jayden and the others stated in awe. "AUNT MIKIU?!" Jayden shouted. Mikiu turned and smiled, "Hey shrimp, ya miss me?" she asked.
