Chapter 82 - Destroy It All

Arriving at the exit of the school, everyone saw a decked-out stadium filled with everything Mogadorian.

A battalion of five hundred Mogadorians, Mogadorian weaponry, Mogadorian hounds, and a battered Mark, tied up at the front as if a flag on display.

"Look at what you brought us, not one but three numbers, and since you're all here then the talisman protecting you all doesn't work anymore.

How great… How nice. Oh! Ahh Oh, thank you for making this so nice and easy.

Think of how quickly we'll finish off the rest of the planet. It's fantastic!" A Mogadorian, larger than the others, steps forward as he gave his 'thank you' speech.

Zeel was confused at the 'thank you' but just chalked it up to his daily good deeds to fill up his quota.

'For every 'one' you kill, save one' was a motto Alice suggested he follow to keep his less desirable tendencies under control.

Zeel had to admit he was a bit irked by the number of Mogadorians present.

Since the speech began, Zeel had been trying to destroy the weapons but found that it depleted his power much faster.

The nanites had an energy source issue, considering that vibranium and Zeelinium were no longer providing enough energy since Zeel and Alice had been using the nanites frequently.

Exhausting the energy within the nanites would result in a dormant state.

Even if Zeel and Alice had more energy than needed inside their bodies, they could not transfer the energy to the nanites.

The nanites could only absorb a certain threshold of energy before overloading. More unique metals were needed for an upgrade before more energy could be stored by the nanites.

Even with his energy-draining, Zeel still managed to decipher the coding mechanism on some of the Mogadorian weaponry.

As soon as the speech finished, Zeel signaled John who let Sam and Sarah back off into the school.

*Boom*

Mogadorian weaponry exploded and that was the precursor to the battle: hounds were released, red flashes of light flashed all over the stadium, Mogadorian soldiers falling and running over the bodies of their once comrades.

John froze briefly, this was the first time they had seen such savagery.

It was never about the savagery per se, but rather all of it occurring at one location. Zeel, Elizabeth, and Alice were much more relaxed since they had grown used to the feeling of war.

The blood and strewed body parts did little to distract them as they raced into the crowd of Mogadorians.

Alice had a sword and daggers floating above her, slicing apart Mogadorians left and right, occasionally freezing them with her telekinetic domain, before blasting them off into different directions.

Bernie Kozar was killing stragglers who laid in ambush within the forest. The Chimera's body morphed from snake to bird, to elephant, to an actual chimera.

Witnessing all the Mogadorians dying, some of the more cowardly Mogadorians began dashing away into the forest.

Elizabeth was disappearing and reappearing in flashes of bluish blurs, cutting down unsuspecting Mogadorians and hounds alike.

Zeel was focusing on Mogadorian weaponry, constantly using his stagnation skill to freeze them.

Zeel also used his TechnoMancy to alter the direction of the cannon's shots, effectively having the cannons take out other cannons.

Alice, Zeel, and Elizabeth were getting tired at an increasing rate. This was not helped by the Mogadorian weaponry weakening their legacies.

John snapped out of his momentary daze and dashed into battle also.

He began using his lumen to blind Mogadorians, pulling them towards himself with telekinesis and driving his dagger through them one at a time.

*bzzzt*

A ray of light could be seen coming from the distance, prompting all the numbers present to use telekinesis on instinct.

Without anyone being aware, the Mogadorian had fired a killing shot that was meant to take out not only the numbers but most of the Mogadorian forces remaining.

Zeel's stopped hacking Mogadorian weaponry and overloaded his nanites to reinforce his TechnoMancy ability.

Alice did the same as her sixth sense was blaring at the moment. This meant 'either stop this attack or die'.

Everyone pushed a counterforce of telekinetic energy forward to combat the incoming beam, but it was too strong.

The beam stopped a couple of inches from the group.

Zeel had expected the ruthless Mogadorians to sacrifice their own soldiers to catch them off guard, but he had underestimated the strength of the weapon used.

The beam stayed in place for a second or two and then became unstable.

*BOOOOOOOM*

It detonated after becoming unstable, but most of the blast was directed outwards with the combined use of TechnoMancy and telekinesis.

Sadly, the explosion also blasted Zeel and the others away in varying directions.

Elizabeth was blown away towards the stadium stands, Alice towards the forest along with John and Zeel to the center of the field, barely managing to mitigate most of the attack with his gravity boots.

Zeel stood up as he watched the entire field, he could see it all: the bodies of the Mogadorians decaying, the weapons firing indiscriminately, Alice struggling to get up while also using her telekinesis to cut down Mogadorians, John fighting for the chance to stay with Sarah a little longer, Sam looking on in glee at the mysteries, and finally Elizabeth looking at himself.

Her eyes pierced into his very being – She saw it, the thing inside of him.

The thing he always wanted to hide, the indifference at seeing all of this. But all she did was turn her head away as if saying 'I won't look if you won't let me'.

*BOOOOM*

Another explosion targeted Zeel, sending him flying a couple of feet back.

The constant explosions further weakened the Garde, who was already near exhaustion, while also draining the vitality of the nearby forest.

In the forest, you could see trees wilting at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Elizabeth fell exhausted and was carried away by a flying hound. A beam of lumen shot through the rotted trees, striking Elizabeth and charging her up enough to turn the tides on the hound.

The ground trembled and soon split open as Alice used the full might of her telekinesis to create a crater on the Mogadorian side of the field.

Crunches could be heard from the bottom as the bedrock collapsed in on itself, crushing the Mogadorian buried below.

John was using his super-speed twisting Mogadorian necks as his telekinesis took up too much energy and he was unable to use his lumen on himself.

Zeel, using his antigravity boots, glided over the Mogadorians slicing their heads off, making his way to the back where he suspected their general should be.

Arriving there, he could feel his legacies weakening yet again.

"What are you going to do now without your special powers?" The Mogadorian leader taunted.

There were three Mogadorian Generals present.

"You made a mistake thinking I need them at all," Zeel replied as he began pounding Mogadorians into the ground left and right.

A fight of will, determination, and pure physical prowess broke out.

Zeel and the Mogadorian general battled it out. Then came another general and another, pushing Zeel back until he could take no more damage.

There he stood covered in blood from head to toe, Zeel had not been so badly beaten since training camps with the Asheborns.

"Haha, we win!" The Mogadorian leader laughed joyfully seeing Zeel bruised and battered.

"Zeel!" Alice and John, who were fighting their way towards him, yelled out in desperation.

Hung up by his neck, Zeel was about to take the final strike of the Mogadorian leader.

Suddenly, Zeel smirked and thrust his hand in the direction of the mansion, using the last of his power.

Soon many whistling sounds could be heard erupting from the direction of Zeel's mansion.

*BOOOM*

*BOOOM*

*BOOOM*

Loric grenades and lasers began raining all over the stadium with a black quinjet appearing above the field.

The jet started raining blasts all over the stadium, not caring about friends or foes.

Alice shielded herself and John in a telekinetic barrier that barely held up against the bombardment.

Elizabeth appeared behind Zeel and both of them disappeared in a bluish blur.

The Mogadorians were mowed down, while the bombs on their bodies caused a chain detonation.

Alice even triggered the bomb in their lockers at school, just to be sure that any and everything was dead.

Of course, she made sure that Sarah and Sam were not within the blast area, hopefully.
