►► Vancouver, Earth

► Sol System

Chaos, total chaos, was all Jacob was able to make out of the situation. The battle spilled over into the smoke-filled hallway as the HLF made tried to make their escape out of the suite and into the halls. Grace pulled Tom’s body back behind Jacob as he continued to fire his rifle toward Destiny and Jazz. Tom was alive, but injured badly, plasma burns thanks to Jazz ambushing him from his invisible state. Ken and Kasidey did what they could with their pistols from behind Jacob’s hulking body.

Weapons’ fire came to a sudden stop, Jacob could hear the footsteps of his enemies move quickly and then the sound of an elevator door shut. Fuck. “Michei, HLF are escaping, can ya see ’em?” Jacob transmitted, but there was no response. Now that he thought about it, he hadn’t heard anything from Michei since he went after Dollon. Jacob began to send another transmission, this time toward space. “This Sergeant Miles to the Winston Churchill, we may hav’ lost Michei, send in EVE.”

If the HLF regroups with Dollon, they’ll teleport out and would be able to strike again. Jacob knew very well EVE would ensure that wouldn’t happen.

“Copy that, Sergeant EVE is on her way,” the Winston Churchill officer reported back.

Chloe’s voice transmitted to Jacob seconds later. “Miles, we just landed on the twenty-seventh floor with you. What’s your status?”

“VIPs safe, Richards is down, possibly Michei too, HLF escaping.”

He heard Chloe sigh and then say, “Fuck, let’s get the VIPs to safety and regroup.”

“EVE is coming to us now in a transport.”

And about to display why the UNE wants to replace psionics with androids.

… … …

Chris began to breathe deeply as he knew Veloshira was stalking him from the shadows. She may not be truly invisible, but between the darkness, blurry vision, and droplets of blood dripping down from his eyelids, she might as well be. The only advantage he had now was the fact that she insisted on attacking him with daggers, daggers that were no longer in her hands. Come at me! he thought as he slowly sidestepped around. His request was granted; just not with the person he expected.

Dollon’s body quickly floated outside the shattered window, his telekinetic grip took hold of Chris and tossed him out the window like a rag doll. His spiraling body couldn’t tell what was up or down, left or right. The only thing he knew was that the ground was getting closer and he had no shields and very little power left in his suit to reduce his mass for a long time.

That little power would have to do—about ten seconds’ worth to be exact. Timing was key now. If he used it too early, he’d return to his normal mass and begin to fall again; too late, and he’d be painting the sidewalks with his blood and plastered organs. Chris heard the sounds of people below screaming, probably at his plummeting body. If he was close enough to hear them, then he was damn close to the ground.
