Step Ahead

"Sorry kid, but you're not going back," said the man who had just appeared through the teleporter, a man wearing all green garments, and someone who Clyde recognized instantly.

As the man appeared, he held out his hands downwards and crushed his open palm into a fist, crumbling the teleportation pad under him, rendering it useless.

"Galo?! What are you doing here?!" Clyde stepped back from him, to which Galo sighed and scratched the back of his head.

"My bad. I'm too tired to talk right now. Just hand over the girl quietly so I can get this shit over with," he held out his hand and waved it towards himself, motioning for Clyde to hand Xenia over.

Clyde furrowed his eyebrows and grit his teeth, tightening his hold on Xenia, and taking a step backward. He grunted, then slowed down time and ran away, jumping into the water-filled city and running away from Galo the green.
