Original X-roads-2003

    There was a flash of blue light.
    Sertoff looked over at his new opponents.
    Mentaz laughed a mechanical laugh, moved away from the main group and cracked his whip.
    Sertoff narrowed his eyes.
    Flame used his electric current and hovered away from the group. He was the only member that Sertoff couldn’t harm in any manner, and they both knew it.
    I stood behind Jonothan, and Harley stood behind me to make sure I stayed behind Jonothan.
    Jonothans eyes glowed and a small blue force field covered us three. “I know we be de las’ people you wanna see.” Jonothan tried to reason with Sertoff. “But someone gotta stop dis. I know it ain’t gonna be me.” He stepped aside so I could see Sertoff.
    Harley gripped my right shoulder tight.
    I rolled my eyes, like I was going to run to Sertoff or something.
    Jonothan looked at me and then back to Sertoff, “But I ain’t gonna let you hurt her. Yo’r second in command come cryin ta me.”
    “She’s second in command, right there.” Sertoff corrected him.
    Jonothan smiled for a second then let his accent drop. “As of today the Triblician Army is no more. My father has seen to it’s dissolution.”
    “This abuse of power has got to stop.” Sertoff warned.
    Jonothan mocked him, “Abuse of power?” He moved back in front of me, “Why don we start wit you?”
    Sertoff took in a deep breath. There was a flash of white light next to him, then King Osario stood in it’s place.
    Is it just me, or has Sertoffs powers gotten stronger all of the sudden? I don’t remember him being able to port people, without being one of them at the same time.
    “Just like an assassin.” Sertoff said in accusatory tone. “Quick and observant.” He grabbed the king, and forced him down on his knees execution style. Without a word he shot the king with his blaster and let him fall forward.
    I gasped in shocked and jumped backwards into Harley. “Why didn’t you stop that!” I shouted at Jonothan.
    “We’re not here to protect anyone, but you.” Mentazs robot voice replied back.
