Denver, Colorado

A car flipped over, thrown from a source other than weapon’s fire. It slid across the road, slamming into another car parked on the side of the street.

That had to be Taz.

Jaxx moved around the van, glancing from the other side.

Bratatatatat ratatatatat!

Machine gun fire went off and Jaxx saw Taz round another corner, bullets barely missing him. Another car went flying, smashing on top of a truck.

Jaxx held up Segarra’s gun. “Let’s end this guy,” said Jaxx, holding his side.

Segarra, leaning up against the van, still a little weak, unholstered another gun, flipped it a few times around his finger like a gunslinger in the old west. “Let’s not be gentle on him.”

A wry grin formed on Jaxx’s lips. “Not a chance.” He turned and raced into a small, four-story office complex behind him. He pushed his feet hard up a staircase. He’d had enough running up and down staircases for a lifetime.

He made his way to the top floor, kicked open a door and pushed over a table, flipping it on its side. He pulled the table to a ridiculously oversized window that spanned the office.

He pressed the table up against the window, stepped back, aimed, and fired.

Window shards splashed outward. He narrowed his eyes and looked down, seeing the splintered glass rain on top of the armored Marines. “Shit.” He should have warned them. He waived below, letting him know he was the culprit of the mess.

They weren’t fazed. They were too stuck on Taz and his maniac powers, throwing cars left and right.

Why was Taz doing that? It wasn’t effective, not one bit.

Jaxx ducked, sinking low, and crept up against the table for cover and pointed his weapon down at Taz.

Jaxx pulled the trigger, the gun recoiling back, slinging a hot seething photon blast at his arch nemesis.

Taz twirled to the side like a ballerina and the shot missed wide. He laughed like a buzzsaw chewing up granite.

Taz energetically lifted another car, tossing it to the side.

What’s this guy doing? “Oh, shit.” It was simple. Taz was distracting them. But, from what?

Agadon Starfighters, as plain as day from Jaxx’s high vantage point, were coming in fast.

Jaxx dropped his gun and placed both hands on either side of his mouth, using them as a makeshift megaphone, “Strafing run! Find cover!”

Zoopha! Zoopha! Zoopha! Zoopha!

Starfighters zipped overhead, gone in a blink of an eye, dropping ion bombs in the dozens.

Jaxx dove to the ground, covering his head and bringing as much Chi into his body as he could, shielding himself in case there was a direct hit to the building.

The small skyscraper shuddered, vibrating back and forth as if a train was passing by. The explosions hitting the street and buildings were loud, and cement and pavement rumbled from the impact, sounding like a buffalo stampede.

Then everything quieted and Jaxx lifted up and got to his feet, dust and glass falling off of him as he did so. Glancing around, the entire complex was full of shattered glass.

He took a step forward, hearing the crunching of glass under his boots.
