Countless bats flapped their wings through the air and threatened to push them over with the sheer force of the wind. Now that they were outside, Hailey, Grace, Mike, and Jeremy heard the shrieks and cries of battle clearer than ever. Complete chaos engulfed them. With dust and tiny debris spiraling everywhere, Hailey struggled to inch into the battlefield with her friends huddled behind her. The limp body of a bat crashed to the cement, just missing Grace. Grace yelped and pressed against Mike. She took his hand and squeezed it, desperate for protection.

Over the deafening cries, Mike shouted to Hailey, “You do have a plan, right?”

Hailey gazed toward the sky. It looked like they were in the middle of a tornado. With fists blazing, the bats twirled at insane speeds. Hailey took a deep breath and shouted toward its epicenter. “Stop! Everyone stop fighting!”

That was it? Mike thought. Just tell them to stop? Now he was worried.

Like a siren just went off, every bat stopped what they were doing. Hundreds of pairs of eyes descended upon Hailey and her friends. Their wings shot back and the bats swarmed toward them. It was a dizzying, scary sight. But before Hailey could react, a bat landed on his feet next to her and crumpled the black cement like dirt. He straightened his knees and nodded at Hailey. It was Dave.

Hailey found herself surprised to recognize him so easily. One after another, Washington High bats landed and slammed around them until they created a protective circle. Their thick, muscular bodies formed a wall. They turned, bent their knees, and hunched their shoulders. There would be no getting through. They dared anyone to approach their Chosen One.

And of course, they did. The Unstables, with twisted savagery in their steps, roared toward them, only to be deflected by Dave and his cohorts. The Washington High bats fought, throwing the bulk of their bodies around, desperately trying to keep Hailey and her friends safe. With every bat that approached, the shield shrunk in size. The Unstables flashed their teeth and gashed their fists as clubs.

Mike said, “Please tell me there’s a Plan B.”

“I’m still on Plan A!” Hailey turned to Jeremy and asked, “Can you fly?”

Jeremy’s petrified eyes stared without an answer.

Of course he couldn’t. He hadn’t ever left the hospital bed. “Damnit.” An imminent shrieking from above rang out from two bats flying straight down at them. There was no ceiling to this shield. “Watch out!” Hailey threw out her arms and pushed Grace and Mike away, leaving the bats to fly face first into the cement. Mike wasted no time and slammed his fist into the skull of one, killing him. The other flapped around like a dying moth, apparently suffering a broken neck from the impact. Mike kicked his face with a force that left him unconscious.

Hailey breathed heavily. She looked at the terror written on Grace’s face. Mike looked exasperated, knowing this couldn’t last. And of course, Jeremy cowered in fear. The shield of the Washington High bats held up.
