Chapter 23 Malakai vs Ohme
We all sat in the truck.
Me, Logan, Dale, and seven other men from our pack.
Outside of The Court's headquarters, on the curb of the street.
"Traffic is not a problem during this hour of night," Dale says.
"Meaning this was the best time to raid The Court?" Logan asks.
"When do we start? It's feeling a bit cramped here." Jordan says, he's a young Malakai and he chooses to accompany us here.
He resembles my mother a lot.
Brown hair and yellow eyes.
"Wait on Noah and Shepherd," Dale says.
l clench my fist, battling my emotions.
"So have you guys ever been in a fight before?" I asked, turning around in the passenger's seat.
"What does that mean?" Kai asks another Malakai. He's a grumpy one.
But Logan believes he is strong.
Logan pats my shoulder and Kai's.
"Relax little brothers, we are getting your family back." Logan says.
Dale grabs his phone, dialing Shepherd's number.
Noah's van passes us speeding through traffic.
Dale drops his phone, stepping on the gas, following them.
The Court's Headquarters is surrounded by a fancy fence.
"It's like they designed this place to be something for the public to see," Logan says.
"Not for it to be a place of battle." Kai says as the truck slams down onto the concrete going over the curb.
Noah's van rams through the fence, passing the guards.
We also speed pass the guards in our truck.
Dale swerves the truck, riding on the grass, leaving a trail.
The guards recovered after dodging our vehicles.
Bullets fly past us.
Noah crashes his van into the building.
On Ohme's side, they drove completely inside.
Dale drives his truck through the wall, entering Canix's Wing.
The impact shakes the trucks, as bullets continue to pass us.
The sirens rang through our ears.
Red lights begin to flash throughout the halls as well.
"They are alerting their security forces and preparing for a counter attack. From this point forward, stay on guard, it may be life or death," Dale says.
"Follow me, we need to out run those guards." Dale says, smirking, leading the way as he reads the map.
Gunshots continue to echo from outside.
Gathering all of our weapons.
We all got out of the truck and entered the Canix Wing.
The Raul had gathered their strongest members from their tribe on Ohme's Wing.
We marched through the halls, with our bow and arrows.
A few of us carry machetes and long hunting knives.
Reaching the end of the hall after taking a right.
We all stand in the middle of a cross section.
Three directions we can take: right, left, or forward.
"Hold on, give me a second." Dale says, as he refers to the map looking at it.
Men surround us from our left and right.
Covering two of our directions.
They hold spears and wear blue robes.
"Stop not any further!" A man shouted from in between the individuals.
He wields a long sword instead of a spear.
His robe is decorated in metal, and he wears armor plating on his torso.
"Who might you all be?" The man asks.
"We are here to look for my son, my family you have kidnapped." I said, walking towards the man.
"We don't harm any children or women. You have us mistaken for Ohme." The man says, lowering his guard.
"I had a feeling you would say that," Dale said, stepping in front of me.
"My name is Dale. What is your name?" Dale asked.
"Julian." He extended out his hand to shake Dale's hand.
Pure energy in the form of a tiny bullet, zips past Julian's face.
The bullet lunges inside Dale's shoulder.
Blood dripped down Julian's cheek.
Julian and his men raise their spears, turning around to face the anonymous threat.
Dale's tan trench coat becomes drenched in his own blood.
I catch Dale as he stumbles.
"Agh!" Dale grunts.
"We came here to slay the intruders, Julian, they're beasts!" A man shouted from the shadows.
A bright light emits from the shadows.
Mechanical footsteps can be heard as they reveal themselves.
They stepped out in front of us, standing behind the Canix's forces.
They wear silver knight armor imbued with magic.
The magic pulsates inside the armor.
All three of them have unique weapons.
The one towards the left holds a small mini-gun.
While the one in the middle holds a lance.
The one on the right holds a great sword.
"You aren't here to just slay these men, are you? You want us dead too. I always had a theory that Thorne had a plan just like this. Waiting for the right moment," Julian says.
"Those fucking scum bags, they intended to kill Dale." I say, as Dale continues to groan.
"I have had enough of this shit!" I yelled.
Julian turned to me, holding his hand out.
Ignoring Julian.
"WHERE DID YOU TAKE MY FAMILY!?" I snarled at them.
The gun knight begins levitating without any use of technology, just magic.
"They're dead." He says, firing at us.
I growl, as my bones snap. I transform.
I feel my muscles grow, ripping off my clothes and my claws extend.
Latching onto the floor as my forearms are covered in brown fur.
Propelling myself through Canix's men.
Running past the Canix as they drop, bullets smack the ground, leaving giant dents.
I hear the other's howl, as they transform into their beast forms.
Approaching the gun knight gunfight, I run on all fours as he ascends to the ceiling.
I leaped onto the wall crawling.
He shoots at me but I evade the bullets.
The bullets graze me and they fly past me leaving trials of energy.
Leaping out towards him after closing our distance.
Reaching towards his silver boots.
I cling onto him.
The small mini-gun is now in my face.
The chamber spins, heating up, getting ready to spray.
I pushed it away from my face.
Gripping onto it with my claw stops the chamber from spinning.
Slowly ripping my claws.
He punched my face.
"Why isn't the silver working!?" The man shouted.
I snarled, ripping off the torso of the knight's armor.
We fly onto the roof, the impact stuns me.
"You foul beast!" He shouts, struggling to take control of me.
We wrestle in mid air, barely going up any higher at this point.
Releasing my claw from the mini gun, blood dripples from my hand.
I slammed my fists on his chest.
The man groans, losing control of his flight abilities.
He struggles to hold us up in the air.
I slammed my fists on his chest again.
He gasps for air, as we fall back down.
Slamming through the roof.
Using his body as a cushion for a landing.
We land back into the battle, leaving a giant crater in the floor.
Standing over the knight's crushed armor.
He's barely conscious.
I began slashing at his chest.
Destroying the armor protecting him.
Blood splatters after my final slash.
Snarling at the red liquid, I opened my jaw.
Ignoring the battlefield and chaos around me.
My fangs pierce his torso.
As I bite down on his torso, it is now free from any protection.
His ribs crush underneath my jaw.
As I begin sucking up any fresh organ that I lick.
I devour his corpse.
Chewing the remains.
Enjoying the flavor, trying to fulfill my bloodlust.
But it isn't enough.
Lifting my head up, I observed the battle.
The Canix have fallen to the Knights.
Being caught in between the Malakai and the Knights.
One of the knights turned to me.
He shoots a blast from a lance at Malakai, charging at him.
They fall down, only six Malakai stand and all of the Canix have fallen.
The Knight with the Lance charges towards me.
"You killed him!" He shouts, running in his armor.
I challenged him with a war cry with my beast tongue.
