17 The spillover phenomenon

Two police investigators were invited to the Lee's residence the next day as Aaron wanted to establish the identity of the burglars and to double check whether there was a heist involved.

As the cops were about to enter the house, the two witches appeared in the front yard. The cops were a bit surprised, but not really very surprised. They thought they only missed seeing the two entered the gate. When they asked who they were, however, the hags laughed instead. The two men ignored them, turned the knob on with a key. However, as the door opened, it banged closed. They looked at the women who were in turn looking at them, smiling. Ignore them twice, they thought; nuts. They tried to open the door again with a key. But, the door closed again, with a hammering sound. The two cops got nervous, their chest pounding, they drew their guns from their pockets and pointed them at the hags. The witches grinned. Suddenly, the guns started to melt in their hands. The cops ran away for fear.

At this point, Tatin and friends came.

"So, you're bringing your war in this world?" he asked the two.

The two raised their sticks and called on the lightning to come. But Tatin raised his rod, and it blocked the lightning midway into the world.

They called on the wind. Then, a brownian movement was formed. It slowly rotated, turning into a huge whirlwind, uprooting trees. Tatin and Apollo spread their arms and turned the giant funnel shaped column of air into a fire that moved in a cylindrical way. It ran and ran after the two witches. The seven laughed. Tatin and Apollo spread their arms again, and the whirlwind fire disappeared.

But the hearts of the two witches were unmoved. Irked, they commanded a mountain nearby to create a landslide; quickly, soil and stones cascaded down the slopes. Tatin and Apollo looked at each other. They had to stop that landslide or traffic on that highway would grind to a halt. Worse, there might be accidents. Tatin and Apollo raised their rods, and the layers of earth stopped falling.

Lucas, Hugh, Matthias, Julius, and Andrea tried to block the area, where the wicked witches stood, with a big fire, but in the blink of an eye, the fire was put off. Tatin raised his rod. The six raised their rods, too, and they were all gone.
