RED SORCERY Chapter 10

It was another night of patrol. Skye was flying silently trough the skies of Seagull City, passing through the buildings and the tall skyscrapers but even when he tried to concentrate so hard on patrolling his mind was filled with the image of Scott and Mathew.

He couldn't help it when a few tears started to fall from his face and Shawn noticed it.

• Don't cry Skye, I told you before, you can't feel guilty about what your heart feels.

Skye knew it was truth but he still felt guilty about it, he felt like his heart would explode from sadness but he knew that his choice was the best one for everyone. He thought that nobody could be hurt now, nobody would pick on Mathew or Scott for liking a boy, yeah they were popular and that should make them safe but even then Skye knew that hatred is a force to be feared. Someone would act against them it was truth because they always acted against him.

But now they should've safe...

His thoughts of safety were interrupted by the several windows of a near building that exploded a few meters far from him.

• Shawn look for survivors!

Shawn's eyes started to shine and in a few seconds he spoke.

• It's night so they should be all outside... But I detect movement on the seventh floor, near the explosion.

• Must be the security guard!

Shawn quickly returned to the necklace and Skye flew quickly into the broken window and found himself in a hellfire of epic proportions.

He covered himself as good as he could in his coat and flew through the destroyed hallways trying to avoid the huge columns of fire that were forming all over the place.

Finally he reached a locked door at the end of the hallway.

• Here?

He asked to Shawn and he mentally said `Yes'.

Skye took the doorknob and quickly realized it was a stupid idea when he burned his fingers. He quickly took the whole frame of the wooden door on his hands and tore it apart.

The cloud of smoke that came from the inside of this office filled his lungs but he tried to ignore it and ran inside the room to find an unconscious man in a security guard outfit under a bookshelf that just started to catch fire. He quickly ran to him and kicked the heavy bookshelf into pieces and took the man on his arms. He ran towards a near desk and kicked it upwards to make it fly a little bit and then he kicked it again in the midair to make it fly towards the window and smash it to pieces. He quickly ran towards the window and started to fly far away from the building.

He landed softly in the ground and put the man safely on the sidewalk.

• Book!

He yelled and Shawn turned himself into the book and the pages quickly flew and stopped on an aiding spell. Skye read it quickly and pushed his index finger on the man's chest and in a couple of seconds a cloud of black smoke came out of the man's mouth. The man started to cough and opened his eyes. He looked at Red Sorcery and mouthed a silent `thank you' and a second later an ambulance came. Just when Skye was ready to fly away another window from another building exploded in flames and then another one in a different building.

• Dammit! Shawn quickly please!

Shawn became his little white ball self and quickly searched for survivors again.

• Two on the tall building at the right and one at the other building far at the left.

• Well, I need to be quick then!

He was ready to fly away when a wall of shadows blocked his way.

• There's no way you can take care of both, let me take care of the one at the left.

Said a voice behind him and when he looked it was Black Phoenix smiling at him. Skye didn't had the time to argue so he just nodded his head and as the shadow wall disappeared he quickly took fly to the nearest building at his right.

He quickly realized that this wasn't going to be as easy as the last one. There were several walls of fallen concrete that were blocking the way. - Book! The book appeared and he quickly casted an evocation spell.

• The doctor is ready to see you!

Said Red Sorcery with a smirk when he took a hold of a gigantic red and black drill that came out from a red light after he finished casting the spell. He drilled his way through the rooms of the office building until he came into a large conference saw a woman dressed in a security guard outfit trying to hold a metal bookcase from falling on top of an unconscious man on the ground.

• Come on boss you need to get up! I can't hold this!

She grunted and Skye quickly ran to take the bookcase and smiled at her.

• You are a real hero, now let me save you.

He said and threw the bookcase far from them ad took them both one in each arm.

• Is there someone else here?

She quietly denied with her head and Skye smiled again.

• Alright, then here we go!

Sky ran towards an open window and flied away to the sky and landed softly on the ground near another ambulance.

• Is he ok?

He asked to the woman who seemed to be dazed by the whole situation. She blinked twice and nodded her head saying that he just hit his head when the bookcase fell. The paramedics came quickly and took them both before Skye could perform any healing spell on them.

CRACK

That was the sound that Skye's jaw made just before he was sent flying to the air.

THUMP

After a second of confusion another dry sound was heard in the air when he was kicked on the back and was send forward in the air and then gravity made its job and Skye felled hard on the ground.

He felt how the air on his lungs got out painfully and tried to gasp for air but the pain in his jaw made it difficult. He quickly placed his index finger on his jaw and felt how the broken bone started to heal and he was able to take air more comfortably.

Luckily he didn't hit his head when he fell and slowly sat on the ground trying to find what the hell just happened.

Then he saw her. Staring down at him, on top of a small building was Pink Abyss. She smiled wickedly and snapped her fingers before disappearing trough a pink hole. Skye heard a loud sound and a second later he saw Black Phoenix flying in the air just before a pink hole appeared on top of his head and a strong leg came out of it to kick him in the head and throw him down.

Skye quickly flew towards him and was able to catch him just before he crashed into the ground.

• Are you alright?

• Yeah... but man, she can kick!

Red Sorcery laughed a little and softly put him on the ground.

• I guess we can safely say that she is behind all of this.

Said Black Phoenix while looking at the buildings a second later a few fire trucks came running towards the scene.

• I guess we can leave the fire to them and concentrate on that girl. Did you took care of the survivors?

Asked Black Phoenix and Red Sorcery nodded and he was about to say something before another kick hit him in the ribs. Black Phoenix tried to get up and help him but another pink hole appeared out of nowhere and another kick on the head made him fall face flat to the ground.

Another kick on the stomach for Red Sorcery made him growl in pain and another one threw Black Phoenix sideways towards a near wall. Another one and another one the fast kicks came coming from all places without any warning.

It seemed like Black Phoenix had fallen unconscious on the ground and then all the kicks started to concentrate on him.

One after another he felt how his body was hit hundreds of times until suddenly everything went black.

He didn't fell unconscious but the world became black. He started to wonder what happened when he heard a pained laugh.

• I-I'm sorry I had to pretend I was asleep so I could save you.

The blackness came from some sort of force field created by Black Phoenix's shadows. The place was dark with a faint glow of purple, but even when they were being surrounded by the protective field Red Sorcery could still hear the sounds of kicks and punches trying to break in.

• Thanks, let me take care of you for a little bit.

Said Red Sorcery and opened his book to find a healing spell. He put his hands on Black Phoenix's chest and closed his eyes.

• Come forward, grow from the heart, warmth the soul and heal the body, come forward and hear me holy fire of the green Goddess.

Black Phoenix felt how his body started to feel warm when a dim light started to glow from Red Sorcery's palms. Little green flames started to appear on his wounds but they didn't burn, they felt a little bit warm and they started to close the cuts and heal every wound on his body.

• That's... really impressive.

Said Black Phoenix with a faint blush on his cheeks, Red Sorcery just smiled warmly and when he finished the touched his own chest to heal his own wounds.

• Magic can't heal all the wounds but this should help us for a while.

When he finished he was startled by a loud sound outside the force field.

• She is using more strength now... she is probably throwing heavy objects at us now.

Said Black Phoenix with a frown on his face. Skye started to think, there must be a way to defeat her, the problem were that she was way too fast for them to do anything, also they couldn't spot where her actual body was...

'wait that's it!'' Thought Skye. 'If we can locate where she actually is, then we can defeat her, the problem is locating her but...''

• Listen, Black Phoenix, I might know a way to defeat her.

Outside the force field there were several objects laying on the ground. Pink Abyss had been using all of them to try to open the shadows that were protecting them.

She started to lose her patience.

She waked to the edge of the building she was standing at and looked at a car that was on the street, snapped her fingers and the car was swallowed by a pink portal. She snapped them again and another portal appeared several meters above the force field and the car fell from there.

But at the last moment the force field disappeared and both Black Phoenix and Red Sorcery flied away on different directions and disappeared behind some alleyways besides some buildings.

• So you want to play, huh?

She snapped her fingers and disappeared on a portal and reappeared besides the building where Red Sorcery turned a second ago. She looked around and spotted him on top of a light post smiling and waving at her.

• So you decided to play with me today? He said and winked and eye and she smiled wickedly at him. - What are you trying to get at?

• I just want to play tag. So catch me babe, you're it.

Said Red Sorcery with a smile and flied towards the alleyways once again. She snapped her fingers and went after him, flying through one portal after the other. She was able to catch glimpses of him turning from one alleyway after another. She tried to be as fast as him but every time one of her portals transported her to where she last saw him he was already far away turning into another alley.

For a moment she smiled, she was taken back to where she was a normal girl and she played with her friends... That was a long time ago but trying to catch Red Sorcery was actually... fun for a moment, so she smiled.

But that smiled only lasted for so long when she remembered that she was supposed to be the evil one here and started to snap her fingers faster and faster. Skye could hear her snapping and snapping and tried to be as fast as he could and taking more and more turns all around the place. The alleyways of the city had always been like a maze for everyone, outsiders of the city could get lost really easy here but for someone who has been living there their whole life and someone who loved the city as much as Skye did, it was pretty easy to figure out all the strange turns and dead ends.

He came to understand a little of Pink Abyss powers when he heard her hit a wall but kept following him after a second. She could use her portals as far as she wanted them to go but only if that place was in her line of sight. She probably was trying to predict the next turn Skye was going to make and send a portal there to catch him but ended up finding a dead end and got hit against a wall.

Red Sorcery tried to take this to his advantage and flied as fast as he could and took even sharper turns and to his relief he started to hear more and more hits and grunts and even curses from Pink Abyss every time she hit a wall.

`'Well I guess it's time to take this to an end!'' he thought and flied away from the alleys and onto the open street and flied upwards to a tall building.

• Now you've done it!

Yelled Pink Abyss behind him and snapped her fingers and appeared in front of him, Red Sorcery stopped and smiled at her.

• You got me, now here is your prize!

He said and pointed upwards and when she looked she saw Black Phoenix holding what it looked like a huge ball of shadows on his hands.

• Hey girl, let me pitch it for ya!

He said and threw the ball at her, she made a motion to snap her fingers again but Red Sorcery took her hands and maybe it was because he was too strong or maybe it was because she took too many hits on those alleys but she couldn't break free.

Just a split of a second before the shadow ball was able to hit them, Red Sorcery jumped backwards and the shadows surrounded Pink Abyss.

The shadows changed their form and they became several small shadow force fields, each one holding a different part of her body. Her arms and legs and part of her torso.

• You cheated.

She said with a sad expression on her face and Red Sorcery just smiled at her and then looked at Black Phoenix.

• Good job out there.

• I should be saying that to you, how did you knew this was going to work?

• I guess it was just luck. We were lucky she followed me and not you, I'm not sure if my spell to trap her should've work, after all last time she was able to escape.

• But not now she won't. Her hands are surrounded by shadows and she can't kick nobody like that. And on top of this building she can't do anything.

They both looked at her and that's when the whole world stopped for Skye.

Her eyes were filled with despair, they were so sad and lost that he almost gets lost in that sadness. It almost made him not realize that she was about to jump from the edge of the building but he was able to catch her and hold her.

He sat her on the ground and slapped her in the face, it wasn't hard but it was loud.

• Who the fuck do you think you are?!

Skye yelled at her, she looked at him with wide eyes when he started to cry.

• Who the fuck do you think you are to try to end things like this?! Life it's not easy, I'm sure it has been hell to you but you can never take the easy way out! If life is hell then change it!

• Change...it?

She asked looking straight at Red Sorcery's eyes. There was a spark of hope glowing in her eyes and Skye smiled at her.

• Yes. You know... humans have the incredible ability to change themselves when they don't like something, if you don't like something about you, you can work hard and change it as many times as you want until you become someone you really love.

• That is impossible... for me... I don't even know who I am anymore.

• Then find out! You are young and beautiful and have an amazing ability but that doesn't define you. What you like and what you love defines you.

• They turned me into a monster there is no hope left for me!

• There is! There's always hope for everyone.

Pink Abyss was about to say something else when she felt a hand on her head. It was Black Phoenix who was smiling at her.

• You see, you really made a mess out of this place but you never hurt anyone besides us... so you can probably turn to the good side and nobody would say anything. And if they did, just give me a call and I will kick their asses.

He said with a confident smile and little tears started to form on her eyes. She probably knew that the security guards were injured and she did destroyed those office buildings but hearing him say something like that made her feel better.

• Why would you do all of this?

• Because we are heroes!

They both said and laughed a little. Black Phoenix then snapped his fingers and released her from the shadows and she just sat there on the ground. Then she quickly snapped her fingers and a small portal made a knife appeared, she took it in a split of a second she stabbed herself on the arm.

• What are you doing?!

Yelled Red Sorcery trying to stop her but she just motioned him to stop and not touch her. She move the knife and pulled a little metallic object out of her arm.

• They kidnapped me from my house. They killed my parents and took me to a strange lab and made several experiments with my body until I was able to do the things I do.

She said holding her bleeding arm and motioned to the metallic object that came out of there.

• That thing over there is a transmitter. They can hear everything I say if I have it on my body but I asked them to turn it off today so I could made my mess in peace. It will turn on in a couple of hours and it will detect that is out of my body and is going to explode afterwards... we better put it somewhere safe.

They both looked at the little object, it didn't look like it could make a big explosion but the look on Pink Abyss face made them think that it probably would.

• Also. Since I took it out of my body it means a betrayal from the company. My body is programmed to shut down for a few weeks after I take out the transmitter.

• What?!

They both asked and she smiled.

• Yes, they made it like this so it would be harder for us experiments to survive alone... the `shut down' thing is just a fancy way to say that I will be sleeping for the next few weeks. I only have a few moments before it begins...

• ...I get it.

Said Black Phoenix and he kneeled besides her. Red Sorcery casted a spell to heal her wound while Black Phoenix talked to her.

• You want us to take care of you until you wake up right? You are just too shy to ask. She blushed for a moment and nodded silently. Black Phoenix laughed out loud.

• Is ok, we are heroes of course we can take care of you.

She smiled relieved and mouthed a thank you and started crying... this was it, after a lifetime of suffering and being locked up, she was going to be free.

• Hey, what is your name?

Asked Red Sorcery and she smiled with tears on her eyes.

• Natsumi... that's my name.

She said and she started to feel a little bit drowsy... The shutdown sequence had started.

• Well Natsumi, you mentioned more experiments... the guy with the gas and fire powers was one of them right?

She nodded her head and Skye noticed how her eyes were getting heavy

• Are here more? Where are they?

• I had one friend... he wasn't an experiment, he was one of the high ranks and he was the only nice person there. If I tell you, you have to promise me that you are going to leave him off the hook.

Skye couldn't promise that, but he knew that this information was crucial to find out who was doing these things.

• The Jones Pharmaceutics Company. They have a huge underground lab under their main building.

The shock on their faces was like no other. They knew that company and they know that Mathew's father was the owner... Was Mathew involved in this?

• My friend... save him... He hates that his discovery is being used like this... he has no choice he... save... Mat...

She fell asleep sitting down. For a moment Skye thought that she looked just like a porcelain doll but her words made him concentrate in something else... She was about to say Mathew or someone else's name?

• Well I guess the shutdown sequence has started... I will take care of her ok? I have a safe place and a friend who owes me a lot of favors, he will take good care of her.

• I see... then I will take his bomb somewhere safe.

• No I will do that as well... after all you are probably going to reconstruct those building right? You have your work cut out for you.

Said Black Phoenix and Red Sorcery blushed a little. He was spot on, he was going to use spells to reconstruct the buildings.

• Hey lets meet later ok? We need to discuss what we heard here tonight.

Skye nodded, he knew that he couldn't do everything on his own and if he came to the conclusion that what they heard from Natsumi was truth then they needed to take a harsh decision and end it. It didn't matter if Mathew was involved or not.

• Ok then it's a date.

Black Phoenix took Red Sorcery's face and planted a soft kiss on his cheek, he quickly took the girl in his arms and flied away laughing. Skye just stood there for a moment blushing hard and he heard Shawn laughing.

• Wow Skye you sure are a ladies man!

• S-shut up, and stop reading comics you are taking on weird words again!

• Oh but they're all men so you are a gentlemen's man?

• Shut up you stupid book!

Skye tried to shut him up as hard as he could but Shawn wouldn't do it, not even after they finished with the buildings. No, the teasing continued all the way until they reached their house and Skye finally fell asleep while pretending to be mad at Shawn.

Shawn was glad... His teasing worked and made Skye fall asleep without thinking about what he just heard... it was a lot to take in for him, he would need to take it all in eventually but for now he just wanted his master to sleep quietly without thinking bad things. Shawn knew that he was going to think about all that was happening in the morning but for now he decided it was best to take a rest... The storm that was coming was going to take a number on them.

Meanwhile at the Jones Pharmaceutics Company.

• Are we ready?

Asked the secretary on the phone, she heard the reply and started to take notes on her notebook.

• Ok, then tomorrow we will give the medicine to the winner. And about Pink Abyss... just make the transmitter explode, send a search team to find her and kill her...

She hang up the phone and took her soft drink on her hands, it was hot now and there's nothing worse than hot soda. She touched the edge of drink and the soda can got cold in an instant. She took a sip and talked to herself.

• Yes, that drug sure come up with some handy stuff.

She said and continued to write on her computer.
