Chapter 22

Appearing next to her Tahir released her and helped her up. Both of them reaching out to Romotine, Tahir began the journey to find the brother, at first he had a hard time finding anything. The man’s mind was a vast wasteland of hate.

Soon, though, he began to get images, the brother was, it seemed, moved constantly. Sighing Tahir saw at least he wasn’t in stasis like the women had been. Reaching out Tahir tried to pull the brother to him ah! Damn it! He was moving again it appeared that when he stopped Tahir was going to have to go there.

With the first part of the mission out of the way, Tahir delved deeper knowing he had to work fast, May was there also watching. Snapping the first 5 he came to, Tahir was sealing them when he heard the screaming and yelling heading his way. He had just finished with the second set of 5 and was reaching for another when Romotine attacked. Snapping the third set caused Romotine to scream louder May was holding him off wonderfully. All the minor abilities gone Tahir snapped the first set of 5 major abilities this took a lot longer as they were the thickest he had ever seen them in anyone.

Knowing that May wasn’t going to last much longer he reached for the thickest one of all, snapping it was the hardest thing he had ever done. Finally sealing it, he told May to go. Taking over the battle of wills Tahir laughed at him.

“You’ve already lost you pathetic little worm,” Tahir was sneering at him. “I’ve already severed many of your abilities your more like a toothless dog.” Telling May to keep him asleep Tahir withdrew. Kim shouted a warning that there were several guards heading their way.

[Natasha you will have to help May, I am going after your brother, Romotine has been stripped of many of his abilities but he’s still dangerous, just make sure that he stays asleep I can feel him fighting it now.]

Feeling the brother finally stop Tahir slipped to where he was. Surprised when he saw to coffin like chamber the young man was in Tahir could see that he was just out from the gas they gave him every few hours. Also surprising was the amount of men with abilities Romotine had guarding him.

Tahir counted at least 50 maybe more, obviously Romotine had been expecting something like this as these were some of the stronger men he had, at the apartment May was having to struggle to keep Romtine under. Kim tried to help but, was still too new at this type of thing. Natasha was taking out the guards as quietly as she could.

Tahir found that these men weren’t going to go as easily as the men had at the bunker. It seemed that at least 5 were healers and could wake the others as fast as he could put them under. Finally Tahir switched tactics.

“All of you know who I am; you all know what I can do. Must I treat you to what I did many at the battle on the park. I can feel that each of you is strong but not a one of you can block me. I am giving you a chance to walk away.”

Most of them just laughed and sneered at him a few 5 in all backed away; Tahir nodded and snapped stronger shields up while he released a huge wall of searing heat.

Those without shields were gone in less than 3 seconds, those with that weren’t strong at all, were severely burned and laying in the grass their flesh smoking, the rest were all unconscious having used all their energy to block it. Walking to the small chamber Tahir opened it to give the man a chance to get real untainted air.

Back at the apartment everything was starting to get out of hand. More and more men were rushing up, Natasha grabbed all of the women and Romotine and slipped them all to the next building. The problem was it drained her so bad, that now without her and Kim’s help May was starting to lose the fight to keep Romotine asleep.

Lifting the young man out, Tahir set him down on the floor. Making sure no one was coming after them Tahir sat next to him waiting for him to awaken. A few minutes later he heard Natasha and Kim cry out for his help. Looking in on them he saw that they were in another building Natasha was seriously drained, Kim was watching and calling to him, May was almost unconscious having protected them all with the shield when Romtine awoke and tried to attack them all. God Damn it! He was afraid that this might have happened.
