The three of them began running wildly through the trees and bushes of the forest in hope of escaping the beast behind them. It could only be described by comparing it to being chased by a bull through a bust street.
Oskar was right behind them using his ability to smash through every tree and bush that dared be in his way. He didn't push them down though ... he ploughed a hole the size of his body straight through the trunk causing the rest of the tree to fall down and slowly lean into it's final resting place.
Finally, the three of them reached the crater and slid down it's walls into the centre. Oskar quickly joined them by leaping out of the trees and landing in front of them with a smirk.
He went to charge at them again but Luke grabbed his arms and legs with shadowkinesis and restrained his in the air. More and more shadow arms joined their friends forming a shadow cocoon that bulged and stretched as Oskar frantically punched and kicked from within. Cassie continued her escape by diving into the section of corridor at the base of the crater and hid herself behind a pillar. Amy ran and joined her behind a pillar opposite her.
"What are you doing? This is your chance to get revenge?" asked Amy looking around the pillar back at Luke who was still containing Oskar.
"I-I can't. They're too powerful. I don't stand a chance against them!" exclaimed Cassie as a scream of anger was released from inside the cocoon. Cassie tensed up and covered her ears. Some foot steps indicated that the rest of 'The Crusaders' had arrived.
"Cassie, you have to do something!" pleaded Amy as she turned and looked at Luke.
He turned and his eyes glowed green again showing he had used his ability again. He had used it on Cassie and instantly cloned himself so that there were now five versions of Luke. The cocoon continued to writhe. The rest of the members of 'The Crusaders' charged at Luke's clones. Most of them fought with Harvey's shadowkinesis and soon in was a mess of shadow limbs mixed in with plants and dirt.
Amy twisted on the spot and ran out of the corridor to help Luke. He saw Amy's arrival and fused two of his clones together as Amy joined in in place of one. At that same moment the cocoon was torn to shreds and Oskar fell to the ground. Luke knocked Natalia out and Bruno went to help her.
Luke fused down into two clones to face against Cassidy and Harvey while Oskar turned to Amy with a grin.
"You want to swap?!" called Luke. Amy looked at Cassidy and Harvey then back at Oskar.
"No, I got this!" Amy called back and Oskar began his charge again.
He leaned forward to tackle Amy who leapt over him and kicked his lower back which caused him to face plant into the ground. He spun around and used his hands to help pick up more speed. This time when Amy leapt his went up with her. She brought up both arms to block and felt Oskar collide with her. Air was forcefully sent blasting out in all directions from the point of impact and Amy barely felt anything. They landed and Oskar unleashed and full on assault of punches and kicks onto Amy who just took each and each one of them with little pain and little movement from the force.
Oskar stepped back and fell forward onto one knee as he breathed heavily. He wheezed and wheezed as if he was asthmatic but Amy didn't hold back. A swift punch to the jaw make Oskar's face whip around to the side and another to fly out to join it's fallen brother. Oskar stared at the tooth lying on the floor with blurred vision as Amy shook her hand up and down not realising how badly punching someone hurt.
Oskar punched the ground making what felt like a tiny earthquake and everyone turned to him. He slowly rose up and a few flashes of red energy appeared over his body. Amy stepped back a few times and the flashes grew move and more frequent until they finally formed into one big, red aura.
"He lost it! Run!" yelled Harvey. Bruno hoisted Natalia onto his shoulder and carried her away while Cassidy and Harvey run behind them. Oskar let out another angry scream and the aura pulsated like a heart beat.
"What is that!?" asked Amy as Luke fused back into one and joined her. Oskar had grown a little in size and his hair was slightly raised as if he had rubbed a balloon on it.
"It's know as 'Aura Release'. A physically enhancing technique taught to students in their final year." explained Luke as Oskar walked over to them. Each step caused the earth below his to crack from the weight and force. Once close enough he brought his hand around and went for a back hand. Amy jumped in the way and blocked a lot of the force but it was still too much and she was swatted away into the lab corridor. She skidded along the floor and came to a stop a little bit away from Cassie. Luke used shadowkinesis to create another cocoon but Oskar simply kicked him in the chest and sent his flying as well into the forest.
Cassie crawled over to Amy and pulled her to the pillar.
"Amy, are you OK?!" pleaded Cassie but all she got in reply was Amy's head falling to the side. Cassie looked at Amy then at Oskar who was now staring at her from outside the corridor with a large grin across his face.
"Face me RAT!" he called. Cassie stood up shaking and stepped out into the middle of the corridor. She walked out into the crater and stood a few metres away from Oskar who was nearly twice her size now.
