Chapter 11

Even while driving she was talking on the phone with her friend discussing the stuff they would do next week, she didn't even question the fact there were police stationed at the main road going in their neighbourhood and instructing anybody who was driving thru the place telling them that a major repair is currently being done in front of Liu Chen

residence and they need to go around,

the police officer was pointing his flashlight because the area was still blackout, when the officer saw Ramiel waving at him he knock on the driver's side so Makena can open the car window, the officer greeted Ramiel and ask why come back home when the science fair is about to start in an hour, Ramiel asks the officer who is the father of his classmate name Joan Rivera, with a polite greeting Ramiel ask officer Rivera if he saw her mother passing the same checkpoint, the office replied yes she was here a few minutes ago but had to walk due to it was hard to drive when the area near their place was under construction.

so he thug on Makena's shoulders and gave out a gesture concerning her earpiece she took one out and heard Ramiels request to drive around their house and park near their backyard and wait for him there, Makena said ok and placed the earpiece back on her ear and turn right after officer Rivera gave them the go signal.

after a few minutes, the street behind their house was dark a few houses had a light but the light post that supposedly gave light to this area was off and it was noisy Makena dint notice anything due to her earpiece was at full volume Ramiel had no choice but he took out his phone and opened its flashlight and walk toward the wooden fence and push the broken wood plank that he usually uses to easily get to his friend's house now he was using it to enter because the main back gate was lock he slowly walks on grandma Mao vegetable garden and not accidentally trample her spinach and tomato plants,

as soon as he could he was already standing on the back porch facing the garden door on the bottom left side a garden gnome statue was placed there by grandpa Tang under it was an extra key so he took that key and opened the back door he was slowly walking when he was about to reach the kitchen archway he saw a faint marking of blood along he was about to call out to his mother when saw a man grabbing him by his shirt and threw him on the floor he fell on something soft and realize it was his mother.

he called out to her and held her swollen and bruised face, he was about to cry when he got thrown again and landed on the right side of the counter tabletop floor, Ramiel was already in pain but he was enduring it even with a mask on his face he perfectly knew who that person is, Samuel stood near his body and gave him a kick on the chest but he crossed his arms protecting his body as he spins and twitches on the floor in so much pain and agony as the impact broke his arm and fractured his 7, 8,9 and tent rib.

this made Samuel happy, Amelia was crawling and shouting on the floor Ramiel with all his strength crawled like a dog toward her mother while Samuel stood and watch them pitifully trying to save each other, the moment Ramiel held his mother voice called out to Samuel saying he needs to kill the kid right now as soon as he looks at them the boy was manifesting some kind of smoke but heavy aura,

the voice in his head screamed violently to kill the boy now, so after feeling the threat that the boy might do he took out his knife and plunged it toward the young boy's body after two stabs blood flowed like water on the kitchen floor, but it was not Ramiel as Amelia hug her son and shove her entire body on top of him she was still conscious a told him

"it ok dear mommy is here you don't need to be scared."

Samuel was about to say something when a loud glass-shattering sound broke all of the windows around the area people all over the place were screaming in pain including Ms Lin Siniang the construction crew, officer Rivera and even Samuel.

everything went dark even the tower light outside was being consumed like the darkness suffocated and took out any possible source of light, a heavy pain was eating the people's rational thinking, they could see blood coming out from their eyes and ears. nobody was immune to this pain, the earth shook again but it was so strong it destroyed the back garden like a tornado and lightning touched the ground simultaneously the force push Makena's car flipping in the air twice as it landed upside down she was still breathing but badly injured,

the air was getting hotter the street cracks a meter wide and a foot deep. hot fume rose from the ground while people from their homes ran outside carrying their unconscious family members,

some were crying and even fell on their knees crying like it was the end of the world, even the National Seismic agency felt it and registered it to be around 8.2 magnitude earthquake the city mayor Elizabeth Orwarld was having a press meeting concerning the new implementing laws about emergency measures if their city was attacked by those mythological creatures when the force of the earthquake made everybody lose their balance and fell on the floor in panic they ran and rush toward the exit as the east wing ground building of the city hall shook and cracks began to eat the very walls as it crumbles down on their head as they went out to the streets.

Mayor Elizabeth Oswald was catching her when her phone started to ring the moment she took it out of her pocket loud blaring sirens sounded and dozen of the first aid responders could be seen in a hurry going to the designated area, military trucks were following them pure panic the was still shaking and all the people who were attending the press conference where calling their loves ones and the rest were frantically using their contacts if there was a dimensional gate opening in the area.

you could hear explosions and a surge of electricity pulsating in the air and people could be seen running away from that location, Mayor Elizabeth Oswald was holding her phone and the person on the other line was screaming telling her to stay away from District 7 Neighborhood that is the centre of this chaos.

the people in the School Auditorium also felt the earthquake grandpa Tang and Grandma Mao and some of the elders began to feel sick and knew what was going on one of the elders Looked at grandma Mae and nodded, that very gesture was confirming that the seal was broken and they need to get there fast.

Grandma Mao scream at the top of her lungs and told everybody to get out of the Auditorium now, her voice was like a lions roar everybody heard her and just went out the elders were assisting the civilians from calmly going out safely grandpa Tang grab Ms Dolores Tesfaye and said to get her equipment and follow him.

the two ran so fast jumping over the heads of the evacuating people like a sudden gush of air six shadowy figure was seen running, jumping, and evading to hit anybody who was in their path as soon as they were from the people they ran faster and even jumps on top of parked cars the impact could be seen as the floor receives the force of their very steps as dust remains and the swirling wind could only be seen going to the very direction of the massive energy surge that sadly was located at their home.

Ms Lin gather her strength as he grabs each of the unconscious people around her the air that was ferociously pushing them away from the location Liu Chen's residence kitchen area. lightning was going wild in the area as any metal material gets hit by the surge of electricity the light tower was struck a few times now and this made the evacuation harder.

the first responders arrived and saw the disaster in the area and it was getting worst as the destruction was slowly spreading to the other streets each department rushed to the area some were screaming because of the adrenalin in their blood, and some were fighting their fear saying shouting it was like September 11 again, a scream of a boy could be heard at the very middle of the huge plasma storm that burned the garden and the trees that Gandama Mao planted in the backyard even concrete tiles melted the very kitchen floor as steaming hot magma was gushing out to the street.

Mayor Elizabeth Oswald followed the responders to gain information on what was going on, as her secretary contacted the weather station, and even google was requested to take satellite pictures of the area now this is an emergency

due to the international law that was signed and agreed upon by all members, even the biggest corporation all over the planet that has massive technological equipment must cooperate to ensure mankind's survival their assistance is needed they will comply based on the situation and major emergencies, and this is one of those moments.

the city mayor's personnel parked four blocks away from where the strange case was happening, and news reporters started to gather around the area to get a scoop on what was going Mayor Elizabeth Oswald told her personnel and police officers to set a perimeter starting and around the area and make sure that the reporters don't cross the line as she could see the massive storm was getting bigger and the city won't be responsible if get hurt or killed but she knew her warning would never stop these reporters from breaking the law get to get a piece of major news, she as her assistant gave her laptop and showed her the Satellite imagery that was taken a few minutes ago, energy reading was inconclusive but the rescued civilian that was like being hit and bombarded with rapid punches that range from 200 to 400 joules.

the wind around the area was strong but unlike the interior of the energy field is it strong enough to flip and bend 3,000 pounds of cars like a toy and there is confirmation that the fragmentation effect radius of the plasma storm is measured at 15 meters from the base same as dropping a ballistic missile on the area,

the report was coming from different angles and videos are spreading and being shared to all social media platforms Mayor Elizabeth opened her phone and saw the massive energy orb swirling around just one area of the particular old victorian house. and the force of the wind dissipates as soon as it reaches the other side of the house as if it has a mind of its own. even reporters on the scene were baffled even pointing out that certain debris gets ripped and thrown apart, but as soon as those broken materials get redirected by the inside force onto the other side of the house a seemingly strong concentrated gush of wind deflects it like it has a mind of its own.

cameramen who were brave and stupid enough to get near the very eye of the storm saw a masked man running away from the area, and a concentrated energy-like orb was floating 3 feet height from the melted ground, the reporter who was able to get that close to the area was describing what was going on to the public in detail on what they are witnessing, she could not verify nor confirm if this was an opening of a dimensional gate or a collapsing one the camera pointed his lens toward those people who are trying to rescue and help the people who were struggling to move out of the storm's path, a woman wearing an office attire could be seen running all over the place as she helps fallen construction workers that fell into the crack that was produced by the massive earthquake.

the cameraman was fascinated by what he was seeing including the thousand that were watching the live news coverage because she was able to pick up a huge man double her size. but the most amazing thing was when six people suddenly drop from nowhere and help the young woman, people who this started commenting via social media saying that these people might be Ethereals and that they secretly came to help those who are in need. the female reported telling her cameraman to focus on those people but the dust and small debris and smoke in the area are making the video broadcast blurry and grainy.

the scene was just around 2 minutes and the six people slowly walked to the eye of the storm like it was nothing, chucks of rock, metal, and even broken glass get blocked easily and their hands were so fast they need to slow down and rewind the video clip, the viewers were confused as to what there are seeing and was searching for the proper name for what was happing so netizens started using their skill to give meaning and proper term to what is that thing. after minutes of debate, they all agreed to name that energy disaster to be a plasma storm.

the viewers were confused as to what there are seeing and was searching for the proper name for what was happing so netizens started using their skill to give meaning and proper term to what is that thing. after minutes of debate, they all agreed to name that energy disaster to be a plasma storm.

the news anchor receives the flow of information as the teleprompter flash the term Plasma storm was the name to be used as millions of online chats and discussions filled the world wide web, so the field report heard the main anchor informing the viewers on what was happening and the name that she now using is plasma storm, while she was saying this the six people that was walking toward the very energy has now vanished in front of the camera due to more dust and smoke covered the area visibility has now dropped and just a blurry image could be seen.

Ramiel was holding Amelia while the plasma storm was in full swing As an energy sphere protected them, Grandpa Tang and Grandma Mao were screaming. Ramiel saw them and his emotions changed from anger to sorrow. He began to cry and tell them that a bad man had hurt his mother.

Grandma Mao saw blood on Amelia's side, which shocked her, She used a sill to examine Amelia's condition further to her amazement she could see a thin but focused protection field on her stab wound stopping the knife from penetrating deeper into her womb, but her condition was still not good having lost a lot of blood.

Ms Dolores Tesfaye was also there and also talk to Ramiel telling him to calm down because they need to help his mother, Grandpa Tang was also reminding him that it is the right thing in protecting his mom but its time that the elders too responsible for this matter, the energy did dissipate and he said he can't let the bad man hurt his mother again,

the Aura that was surrounding him once again changed colour and the wind became strong as it encircles them like invisible sharp treads it was cutting the shirt they were wearing and as sorrow become doubt the energy surged again when a single voice change his emotion and made him calm down Guan Yu walk toward them with the same energy but it was sad and hurt,

He was walking in an undisturbed path when Ramiel's gushing aura embraced Guan Yu's Aura, the devastating hurtful energy stopped as a harmless flow of Aura appeared as the two energy spheres merged into one. As Guan Yu spoke to Ramiel personally, he apologized for the delay and explained that he was unable to protect the mother he loves so much., Ramiel looked at Guan Yu and said

are you mad at me?

You saved the person we both love and cherish, so how can I be mad at you?

Guan Yu kneeled to take Amelia into his arms and stood up, and the energy around them slowly stopped, telling Ramiel to let him go take his mother to the hospital. As Ramiel smiled and dropped from the ground, Grandpa Tang rushes to his side and holds him, and the other elders use an illusion skill to conceal what was going on.

As soon as Ramiel calmed down, Grandpa Tang cried and Grandma Mao noticed Ramiels internal bleeding from a stab wound on his stomach and also was bleeding Ms She pulled out a small pouch and rubbed some herbal ointment on his wounds, but the bleeding didn't stop, and the storm was already calming down and everyone was getting back to normal.

As the dust and debris settled down, Guan Yu went out as reporters finally saw what was going on and saw the two walking towards the ambulance. A female reporter asked him what happened, and he just said it was a failed dimensional gate opening, and put Amelia in the ambulance while the medical team rushed to provide her with proper medical care.

Ms Lin Siniang saw who was full of bruises and cuts on her arm and face just sobbed in tears as the ambulance drove away Guan Yu sat close to Amelia holding her hand as they move away from the scene Ms Lin Siniang held her tears and emotion turn around to further help those who were still hurt saw a familiar face and understood what happened and went to ask the camera who there and was able to take the video,

In the aftermath of the reported unknown force, more people were finally able to move from where they collapsed, medical responders were finally able to do their jobs properly, and there were around 40 wounded civilians and no casualties, as the ambulance carrying Amelia and Guan Yu was finally travelling the main road bound to the nearest hospital the remaining people who were with Ramiel vanished and just left the half-destroyed house unattended.

the people who witness and survive this ordeal were deeply traumatized by the fact that right after the boiler explosion this happened so many people speculate that the incident at the Liu Chen residence might be the dimensional fracture slowly manifesting in their basement area but due to unforeseen conditions the gate failed to open but ignited another fracture but with the assistance of those unknown Ethereal they were able to stop its opening,

countless debates and conversations spread throughout social media and even experts gave their personal views thinking the same thing and making rational explanations on all of the people's speculation, news coverage ran for an entire day as Mayor Elizabeth Oswald held a press conference outside the city hall due to the damage it receives from the earthquake that plasma storm created, she made remarks that the situation in her city is still under control as there were no fatalities and she will take full responsibility in the rehabilitation of the Neighborhood in District 7 and assured the wounded that all of their medical needs will be covered by her office,

meanwhile, Amelia and Ramiel were still in a critical state as the head female doctor one of the elders gave them the information concerning their medical situation and made sure that she explained every detail carefully, first she mention that the baby n Amelia's womb was safe and no physical wound or deformities were seen and even told them the fetus was strong and as Dr YaXiu Fang carefully inspect the patient's body she saw that she was able to strengthen her body unconsciously with a thin but real strong aura field,

Grandma mao was so happy and made Guan Yu speechless because this was the first time he heard that Amelia was Pregnant. Grandpa Tang wanted to tell him but didn't want to take Amelia right to personally say him when she was ready, she told sadly informs him that the mother and son needs a blood transfusion and they have a rare blood type as soon as the head doctor told them Grandpa Tang and Guan Yu walk up to his old friend and said we have the same blood type take as much as you need.
