?Hound’s Duty?
❄️By Crownway Amef❄️
??Episode 08??
?Not every hellhound belongs to hell?
Kira and Jeff secured the Aladdin jet and hid it somewhere waiting for Erik.
Soon they returned back to the main building and all the gifted have them surrounded.
“What the heck is going on here?” Jeff asked.
“Well well well, our one and awesome senior, it has come to our notice that you are planning a revolt with the new boy Erik” Ciara said stylishly trailing her fingers on the edge of her swords.
“Ciara you’ve got it all wrong” Kira added.
“We can’t let you put us into danger, you have been possessed and the only way to get you back is to paralyse you and lock you up”
“d@mn it Violet managed to corrupt your mind. You all should listen to me, Grey Orbit is not what it seems to be, we were all lied to that they are going to train us and turn us into superheroes but that’s not true.
Violet plans to train us for her own evil intentions,she’s evil” Jeff said hoping to convince them.
“Jeff is right, the higher lady is nothing but a green snake under the green grass… You can’t trust her, we can still leave together” Kira said.
“But we’ve been here for years and we are all safe and sound, you guys are the black sheep” someone said from within the crowd.
“Just where is this Erik?” Jeff whispered.
“I don’t know too, this won’t end well”
“Enough of all the talks, guys attack!”
“We don’t have to do this, I don’t wanna hurt you all, please listen to me”
“Jeff, I’m scared my Phoenix voice might hurt them and I’m not that good with swords”
“That’s what Violet wants, to turn us against each other…”
Ciara lifted her hands and sent a force towards them both but Kira blocked it with her sword and it hit the ground.
Soon other gifted joined as well and started sending harsh wind, and forces towards them.
They are just two and the gifted are up to 25.
Violet is watching everything from the CCTV and she’s smiling all to herself.
She glanced at Haliah’s bed behind her and see that she’s still sleeping but with clothes covering her completely.
“Since your friend boy didn’t come for you, my plan B is surely working out. Wake up soon my princess.
” Jeff,they are attacking us even when we didn’t retaliate, they are determined to kill us, do something” Kira cried out.
Ciara stamped her feet on the ground and rocks started coming out from the ground. The rocks are too many and all going in circles with harsh winds then she directed it to them. Kira got hit by one of the rocks and she went crashing on the floor with blood coming out of her nose, the same with Jeff.
The other gifted knew Ciara is not this powerful and seeing her control nature scared them and they paused for a while trying to reason what Jeff said.
“How is Ciara so powerful like that? And to look at things, Jeff is not someone to do bad to us, he didn’t fight back despite what we are doing to him”
“I agree with you Collins, could they be right about the higher lady? She even covered up the death of our friends…”
Ciara is busy torturing Jeff and Kira she didn’t hear the gifted talking but then she noticed they’ve stopped attacking.
“What are you waiting for? Let’s fight to protect ourselves ”
“I don’t think the word protection is for us Ciara, they are the victims here not us” David said.
“What? Are you planning to betray the higher lady?”
“Now I see what this fight is all about… Is this fight for us or the higher lady?” Sarah questioned.
“Can you see what I’m taking about? This is part of the evil intention I’m talking about” Jeff managed to voice out.
Location: Bleak Valley.
The guards could be seen shooting at Susan in her dragon form and she’s fighting back as well, burning who needs to get burnt and who needs to get stepped on.
Erik arrived at bleak Valley and with his super speed, he slit throats of 4 guards in quick succession.
His movement is almost invisible and he stopped at a point.
His body continue changing to a fire form and smoke emitting out as his skin crawled on each other hiding the delicate part away and reforming into a fiery one.
Erik shifted to Falcon side completely and he faced the guards.
“Idiots in disguise, show me your real form you monsters” Erik said and smirked.
The guards exchanged glances and then dropped their guns before changing to black angels.
“Good boys, now that’s what I’m taking about,let’s deal with it monster to monster”
The black angels came flying towards Erik and Susan pour out fire from her mouth to burn them.
Erik got hold of one and he grab it with his fiery hands burning it’s skin right deep into the bone, the black angel screeched in pain till it became dried up.
Another set of black angels gained distance on them and Erik is now using his fist.
Someone rang the alarm to notify Violet of the trouble in bleak valley.
??⏳?????☄
Few minutes later, everywhere was silent, shattered rocks, burning clothes and tree branches still on fire. Erik breathe out smoke from his nostrils and he helped Susan up cuz she was badly injured.
Erik mounted Susan and hold her horns to gain balance, then she flew off from Bleak Valley to the main ground.
He saw Ciara below trying to harm Jeff with her long sword and he stood up to dive right into the fight.
Dusts filled everywhere with the movement of Susan’s dragon wing.
Erik conjured a fire ball and hit Ciara away from Jeff and Kira.
He ran to them and examined their wounds.
“Seriously? We got a business to solve later okay?” Jeff said angrily.
“I’m sorry” Erik apologized for his lateness.
On sighting Erik in his real form, the gifted stepped back each maintaining a defensive gait.
“I’m sure they tried their best to convince you, still you did this to them” Erik said angrily.
“So you are really a monster” they chorused.
“Yes dudes… I’m a monster if you say so… But I’m a fire monster, a hell hound and a scary one at that. My heart is made of stones not like theirs that couldn’t fight back just because they love their inmates” Erik said and his claws sprang out.
“Calm down Erik, this is what Violet wants… Don’t…” Kira tried to persuade him.
“Listen up guys,we’ve got no time to waste, some of you know me already and I’m sure Violet must have feed you lies about me. She used me for her evil plans but I escaped when she tried to kill me. No long talk, we are going to exit that gate right now,who’s going with us?” Susan said.
The gifted exchanged glances and all afraid of Violet and if to trust Jeff and the rest or not.
“Time up, just three seconds is enough for you, your silence says it all, let’s go guys” Erik said.
“Oh and if any of you got the gut to stop us from leaving… Your loyalty is highly welcomed” he added.
But then the entire building changed again and metallic gates grew up from the ground going so high in the sky till it camped everyone of them in the middle.
Violet arrived dressed in her armour and weapons on her.
“Wow, what a good start you bastard. Listen up kids I’m the only one that can protect you, you can never be safe out there, tell me why you are going out of this place? To meet who? And for who? No one right?”
“We are returning back to our parents” one of them said.
“Ha ha ha… You make me laugh… Everyone of you here are orphans… I killed your parents already,I don’t want them to be a burden to you” Violet said.
The gifted had confused looks on while some are crying already.
They turned back on Violet but She mobilised her men to come with full back up.
“No more disguise” she said in a calm but rough voice.
The guards all changed to black angels and Ciara regained consciousness too.
They surrounded everyone of them.
“I won’t kill you, indeed I need you so I’ll just have you all paralysed and remodel your mindset later.
” You’ve really shown your true colour Bîtch” Susan cursed out.
“Oh men of hades… Start” she said with an evil laughter.
But then the gateway to earth opened up with a click and the alarm started blaring warning of security breach.
Bullet holes penetrated through the fenced yard that Violet made and the gifted ran to a side so as not to get hit.
A reddish projection embraced the wall and it melted down in seconds.
Out of the fence are army of robots each holding different kind of guns and though looking human.
Linnaeus came out of the formation and points gun at Violet.
“Where is the baby?”
❄?❄?❄?❄
???????????
“Paroh? You here? ” Violet said stammering.
“Yeah,I’m here to amend my mistakes, you think I’ll be rotting somewhere in hells corner right?” Linnaeus said.
“You can rot in hell for all I care” Violet said.
“Why did you have to take his help?”
“I’m not in the mood to settle old scores Paroh, do something for me… Help me out again just like back then”
“Nah, I’m here for the baby and with the look of things here,I can see a similar mission of mine”
“What nonsense have you been sent to do again?”Violet asked sarcastically.
” Evil woman! The boy is part of my priority and I’m going to get him out of here”
Erik was surprised and he came out of the safe angle.
“Uhm… Mr. Somebody… Are you here to help? Then since you can get inside, you can still leave peacefully right? Please get us out of here”
“Sure one boy” Linnaeus assured.
“So who’s coming with us?”
“That won’t be possible” Violet roared out.
The black angels picked up their guns and started shooting at the army that Linnaeus brought.
(What a sight, monsters picking guns with their sticky liquid dropping on their weapons)
“Are you monsters done?”
They continued shooting but the bullets ain’t penetrating, it keeps bouncing back and some making contact with their body and bouncing away.
“Do you think I’ll bring humans to fight monsters? Well sorry to disappoint you sweety, these are robots… I only designed them with mortal skin” Linnaeus said adjusting his glass.
A voice said into Linnaeus wireless earpiece” Boss,we’ve got few minutes left for the gate to close, something went wrong with the hacking”
“d@mn it… Well I’ll surely come back for the baby,I have to leave now”
“What? Won’t you help my friends?”
“I’m afraid not this time kid, get out of here first, we will come back for them, the ship can’t hold us all”
“Oh no, and we could only unlock one Aladdin jet”
“Boss the gate is closing in few minutes” Floral the robot reported.
The gifted had a disappointed look on and Erik felt sorry for them.
Jeff helped Kira up and they followed the soldiers of Robots,same with Erik and Susan.
Violet didn’t stop them but she’s burning with anger.
????
They arrived at the parking space and they entered the Aladdin jet while Linnaeus and his army occupied their space ship as well.
They flew out of Grey Orbit and the gate closed.
Inside✈
Erik helped Jeff to apply ointment on his wounds and Susan helped with Kira’s treatment.
“Where the hell were you? You came up with a plan and you ran off? Jeff said angrily.
” Hey calm down, I’m sorry for coming late, had things to finish up”
“And you didn’t include us?
” it’s gonna get messy if I tell you guys”
“What exactly is it?”Kira asked
“I went back to get what’s mine”
Erik said and walked to the door right at the back.
He opened it and pulled out a stretcher with someone lying on it.
“Oh my God that’s Haliah” Kira shouted.
“How did you get her out of that place?”
“I knew Violet laid traps for me already so I left Haliah’s room to get a Figurine from the training ground,I painted it and dressed it to look like Haliah. I took it to her room and covered her with bed spread so Violet won’t notice anything.
” Gosh… Dude you’re one crazy boy, never knew you are this smart”
“Violet made me this way, and I’m going to get back at her for killing my parents.”
“The vicious lady must be screaming her lungs out by now”
Location: Grey Orbit????
Violet retreated angrily to Haliah’s room hoping to double her dose of anaesthesia so she won’t wake up soon only to find out that its not Haliah on the bed but a mere painted Figurine.
She clenched her fists and yelled out Erik’s name.
“Erik you bastard!”
