Invasion II

Wilson immediately pulled out one of his cigarettes from his back pocket but the enemy was fast to realize what he was about to do and had immediately rushed forward at him the two of them engaging in close hand to hand combat. His opponent was certainly faster but it was two against one now. Justin had also joined in on the fight throwing himself at the man and distracting him while Wilson did his best to prepare his illusion skill.

Wilson finally managed to pull out his lighter but he knew casting the illusion also meant trapping Justin in the illusion and there was no guarantee that his enemy wouldn't break free before they got a chance to escape. The best option now was to take him out with physical combat before the man had any chance of bringing forth his own ability.

He stashed the cigarette and lighter back into his pocket and rushed forward to help Justin who was surprisingly keeping up with the enemy even without any training or anything. Wilson smacked away a fist that was aimed at Justin's face before sending the opponent staggering sideways with a slap across the face.

The Guild member spat out blood before rushing back into the fight. He was here for the siblings and he had been strictly instructed to bring them back unharmed but it seemed that keeping to that instruction was way harder than it sounded. He would have been done on normal circumstances, but here he was exchanging blows with amateurs and he couldn't even think of using his ability. Pulling out any tricks from what he could do meant killing the targets and that also meant his death.

Poison, that was his ability, and without an antidote or immunity to his poison, death was guaranteed for anyone who was within his range during ejection which made it impossible to use in this place. He was only at the bottom of his group because of the time lag between every ejection. It took fifteen minutes for his poison sac to be refilled and within these fifteen minutes, he was left with the option of hand to hand combat which he wasn't very good at.

He dodged a punch from Wilson and blocked another from Justin before proceeding to kick the first man in the torso and flinging the second out of his range.

Wilson bounced back immediately and cushioned Justin's fall. He tossed Justin aside, away from the approaching enemy and took another hit to the face and another to the side of the stomach. More blows followed afterwards until he was covered in bruises and blood. The man turned to Justin who had been constantly attacking but kept getting pushed back while the man dealt damage to Wilson.

He jumped forward only to be sent backwards with a kick. He crashed into the furniture behind him and was pinned down by the man who had now pulled out a syringe out of his pocket urging him to shush while he descended with the syringe in his hand towards Justin's neck.

It happened faster than he could see but when he had opened his closed eyes, the man who was once standing over him with a syringe had been dosed with his own concoction and was on the floor unconscious. Behind his fallen figure stood a figure with a face he had recognized from earlier in the same room.

This man was a member of the five grade one's and it was obvious that his ability was speed.

Charles kept destroying the endless horde of dogs until he was finally outside, out of the barrier. It was odd, how these creatures were inside but for some reason, their place of origin was outside the barrier.

He was almost at his limits and soon, he knew his instability would kick in but before that, he was going to put an end to this madness. His eyes caught sight of a fleeing man and he had immediately chased after him. He had noticed the dogs had stopped forming immediately the man broke into a run. He was faster and had soon caught up with the fleeing menace only to discover that this was a child, a teenager definitely not up to eighteen and he was being used by the Guild.

He could see in the boys hand and in his swollen pockets toys that looked exactly like the dogs that attacked them and he had instantly recognized the ability, recreation.

'impossible' his mind screamed. This ability was lost ages ago and now it was in the possession of a teenager. He immediately jumped off the boy out of fear. This was the ability possessed by Simon Brown and was rumored and how he got those powers was a top secret only known by him, King and the higher ups, even the remaining members of the grade ones didn't know about it and it was for good reason.

The ability to bring inanimate objects to live and if the ungodly procedures to how this power was gotten was constantly followed, then it was possible for the weilder to even take life out of living creatures and that was why he had jumped off the kid. He didn't know how far this child had gone to obtain these powers but one thing was certain, he had to stop this child this instant and take him to the others to decide what to do with him.

He hoped his intuitions were correct, from the action of the boy earlier, it definitely showed that he wasn't a fighter and liked to stay hidden while supporting from the shadows which meant he didn't know how to fully utilize his abilities. He surged forward once again before the boy could get on his feet and even though he didn't like what he was going to do, it was for the good of everyone out in the world. He pinned the boy down to the earth and with a blow to the face, knocked him out
