The Mighty Force

Chapter 22 Follow Your Moral Compass

She raised her hand, and in doing so, her abilities enabled him to levitate. She put her hand away once her powers lifted him to his feet.

"You have telekinesis?" Sam inquired, astonished by her actions.

Meanwhile, while Seth watched, his eyes returned to normal, and he said, "I know why you are like this, Sam."

"Hehehe. Am I that easy to read, you piss of shit?" Sam inquired.

Seth gnashed his teeth and furrowed his brows once more. He marched fiercely to his younger brother with clenched fists. With each step he took, he puffed. With his left arm, he latched on Sam's back neck, shoving his head down, and delivered a blunt blow to his solar plexus. Although the pain was bearable, that didn't stop Sam from spewing blood from his mouth.

Dan watched in silence from afar while Diana covered her mouth in horror. Harrison, though, couldn't watch much longer and looked to the side. She stepped forward and tried to approach Seth, but Dan latched onto her arm and shook his head. She nodded in response; as much as she wanted to keep them from fighting each other, it was futile.

 "You know I am getting tired of you insulant little blight," Seth said, grabbing him by the neck and lifting him.

 "That's right, show them your savagery," he muttered. In response, Seth twitched his eyes with petulance.

"Is this the guy you wanna follow, huh?" Sam said, directing his stern gaze to his siblings

 The three looked at each other with short glances, uncertain of what to do.

 "Don't listen to this fool! Remember our deal," Seth snarled.

Sam smirked with delight and looked deep into his brother's eyes, "I see right through you...." "Brother," he began in a ridiculing tone.

"And what would that be, brother?" Seth inquired with his left brow arched.

"You're using them for your selfish purposes," Sam replied.

The other three directed weird glances at each other while Sam continued, "Who's to say that either of you wants revenge against Codex?"

The three couldn't shake the feeling inside them, matching what Sam said. Seth noticed a small spark of doubt in their eyes, so he headbutted Sam. That attack was so intense that a wound formed on Sam's forehead. 

"You guys know that he's using you. Dan, you have an inheritance from your family. Taking care of that farm and its legacy would make them proud from beyond their graves and bring them a sense of fulfillment."

Dan smiled and shrugged while Sam gestured toward Diana, "Diana, you're a great martial artist, and you can become an even greater musician if only you can break this introverted shell of yours."

Diana looked over to the ground in shame because she knew what he said was true.

He looked over to Harrison and said, "Harrison, I'm sorry for keeping secrets from you, but I wanted you to know that with your brilliant mind, you can do whatever you want, and I also know that basketball was just a tool for you to please others to gain acceptance from them...Here's the question...What about you?" Harrison looked over to Sam, his eyes welled up with tears.

As Sam continued speaking, he abruptly yelled at them, "Dammit!!!!! Where is y'all guys' pride? Your moral code!!!!!!!" It's as if he was struck by lightning, which electrified his Frankensteined revolt into awakening. 

Those words struck their inner core to the point they pondered whether aligning themselves with Seth was right. Uncertainty clouded their judgment. Anxiously, all three glanced at one another, waiting to see who would make their first move before deciding what to do.
