Zephyr: The Elemental Clans

161 - God of Darkness

Dagan Zephyr - POV;

"CRASH!"

The ear-splitting noise echoed through the Coliseum as the magical barrier surrounding the arena abruptly shattered with a tremendous force powerful enough to knock the audience completely off their feet.

"BOOM!"

The entire structure rocked beneath our feet as huge chunks of concrete debris were launched from an explosion amidst the Eastern wing.

"What the hell is going on?!" Indira growled as she glared at our surroundings on high alert.

"BOOOM!"

"BOOOOM!"

"BOOOOOOOM!"

A series of consecutive blasts lit up the building and we quickly found ourselves being swallowed up by flames as the floor gave way underneath us.

Grisha Astra - POV;

"Hurry to the nearest shelter! The police will be there to guide you! Go!" I instructed the survivors as I lifted the twisted mass of cement and mettalic beams off of them.

"Th-thank you!" The pair squealed as they scampered away.

"Grisha!" Regulus Neptulus called out as he dropped down beside me, "What's going on?!"

"I have a few guesses but I'm not sure!" I grunted as I dropped the heavy weight, "All I know is that all hell has broken loose! This is too perfect to be a coincidence! This is a coordinated attack! Where is Horus Fenix?!"

"The bastard took off the moment everything went off and we left to aid evacuations. I think he's headed back to hole himself up in his fortress!" Damon answered.

"Damn it, the coward! This is HIS city and HIS people!" I boomed.

"I can't just stand by idly while they suffer. I'm going to lend my aid and get to the bottom of this!" Damon insisted.

"Of course! I share your intentions. I've been trying to get in touch with the Fifth King Versailles, the World Heirarchy and the Elite Enforcers but I can't get through to them. They are sure to notice this eventually and send help but until then we have to pull through on our own and minimise casualties where possible!" I told him as we dashed through the city.

"Aquarius and Indira should still be at the Coliseum! We need to get into contact with them!" he continued.

"I've been trying, but my daughter won't receive a signal either. I'm not too worried though. They are both highly capable and Xyder is there with them. No matter the circumstances, they will know the best course of action!" I declared.

Cheryl Mayer - POV;

"Ouch," I moaned before breaking into a coughing fit as a cloud of dust enveloped me.

I stumbled to my feet as I pushed onwards to my goal. After he unexplained chaos, I found myself swept up in the sea of panicking people and before long I was pushed towards the exit. However, the only thing on my mind during all of this was Xyder and his safety. Unable to let myself leave just like that, I rushed through the fleeing audience towards the  backstage areas which led to the teams' rooms, the preparation areas and the entrance to the arena itself.

Despite having just been right beside them before the bombs, I hadn't seen any of the other members of Zephyr and Xyder's friends after the chaos commenced. Though I should have been even a bit concerned, I couldn't spare any of my worries for them... not right now. A deep fewling of dread had been churning in the pit of my stomach and I could feel that something was wrong. I had to find him before it was too late. I had to find Xyder!
