Chapter 83 The Dissipation of Chaos

People along the shoreline gasped in terror as they watched the once calm water begin to thrash and crash against the shore with growing ferocity. Panic spread as they realized their perceived safety was rapidly unraveling. People quickly fled the area, all the while keeping their phones at the ready to capture the chaotic scene.

The water below churned and swirled, growing taller and taller until it reached the cloudy sky above. The sight was so unnatural that some people couldn't help but gawk in disbelief.

As the whirlpool approached the beach, the wind began to pick up speed. The whirling water had now become a tornado, and people began to realize the danger. Panic set in as everyone ran for their lives.

The man who was previously recording the scene quickly stumbled and tripped towards the ground, as he rushed to escape the beach. He was spotted running away from the water, wearing nothing but a pair of swimming trunks.

The video abruptly cut to a dark screen, and a map appeared in its place. I let out a sigh and turned to Wednesday, who sat beside me with a thoughtful expression.

"That's strange," Wednesday muttered, her eyes fixed on the screen as she tried to make sense of what she had just witnessed.

I, on the other hand, felt a supernatural aura around the event. I quickly refocused my attention on the map that was guiding me towards my destination.

I slammed my foot down on the accelerator and the car lurched forward. I followed the map that Jarvis had generated, my destination being Grandpa Jay's house.

I couldn't help but hope that the storm had not yet reached Grandpa Jay's house.

The scene was a chaotic one back at the warehouse, with Jarvis's Hands scattered around the tornado, the holographic features long gone from the now-fancy table. Trees, cars, and shattered remnants of houses were all swirling around in the whirlwind, but there was no sign of the small metallic box that housed the Immortal Wendigo.

The main storm was approaching Jay's house, drawing closer with each passing moment.

James pulled up to Jay's house, parking his car right in front of the door, before getting out and leaving Wednesday inside.

I was wearing my armor, protecting myself from the sand that threatened to invade my body through my mouth and eyes, as I approached the mansion.

I pushed open the door, allowing a rush of sand and water to spill into the house, quickly drenching the entrance area.

I slammed the door shut, preventing further damage to the house, before taking off my mask and making my way towards the basement, where I suspected my family was seeking refuge.

But as I made my way down to the basement, I couldn't help but glance out of the window and what I saw shocked me. The tornado was rapidly dissipating before my eyes.

I came to a halt, my gaze fixed on the rapidly dissolving tornado. Within just four minutes, the once-mighty storm had completely cleared, leaving me staring in disbelief, trying to understand how it could have dissipated so quickly.

Usually, a P5 tornado would rage for hours, covering hundreds of miles before finally dissipating, but this one was already gone in just a matter of minutes.

The aftermath of the tornado was apparent all around me. The once pristine backyard was now covered in a layer of sand and water, with bits and pieces of what appeared to be a fallen house scattered throughout.

As I gazed at my armor, I couldn't help but let out a sigh of annoyance. The sand that had gotten into the cracks and crevices would take hours to clean out, but I couldn't exactly take it off and risk it falling off randomly.

I turned to Jarvis, my trusty AI, and asked if the smaller tornado had also dissipated.

Jarvis's response was quick and to the point, confirming that the smaller tornado had indeed dissipated.

With the dissipating of the tornadoes, the blaring sirens that had filled the air came to a stop, signaling that the danger had passed.

I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief as I sat down on the floor. The tornadoes were gone and my loved ones were safe. I just had to wait for them to emerge from the basement.

Wednesday appeared from the front door, her expression unreadable as she took a seat on the couch and fixed her gaze upon me.

Wednesday's question caught me off guard, her stare still fixed on my sand-covered armor. "Why not remove it?" she asked.

I explained to her that removing the armor was not an option, as it would fall off randomly and re-equipping it would be a long, complicated and annoying process.

Wednesday raised an eyebrow, her expression skeptical. "So, are you just going to wear it forever?" she asked sarcastically catching me slightly of gaurd, however I have started to become more used to her curve balls.

I shook my head, determined. "No, I need to find the Immortal Wendigo," I said, meeting her gaze. "That's my first priority." Wednesday nodded, understanding my urgency. We spent the next few moments in silence, waiting for my family to emerge from the basement.

Grandpa Jay was the first to emerge from the basement, and as soon as he saw me and Wednesday, his expression changed to one of shock. He stood there, frozen, as if he couldn't believe or more like Understand what he was quiet seeing.

Mom's voice cut through the silence, full of concern. "Dad, what's wrong?" she asked, walking up to Grandpa Jay.

Grandpa Jay shook his head, still in shock. "The tornado is gone," he said, "but James...he's got some kind of strange thing on his body."

Mom's eyes widened in surprise. "What?" she asked, taking a step forward to get a better look.

When Mom saw me, she also froze, just like Grandpa Jay had.

I waved at them awkwardly, feeling self-conscious under their scrutiny. "Hey guys," I said, trying to sound casual.

Mom and Grandpa were the first to reach us, followed by Gloria, Cameron, and finally my dad.

I quickly explained the situation to them. "Hey guys, I created this armor to fight the monster," I said, gesturing to the armor on my body. "Wednesday here saw it all go down, so she can fill you in on the details. But I've got to go do something important right now." I stood up, ready to leave. I didn't have time to stand around and chat. "Wednesday will explain everything," I said over my shoulder as I quickly made my way out of the mansion.
