Essence: The E.S.T. Org.
Page 10
Nicky begins to fight back. Several clones lay either unconscious or dead at his feet.
More begin to pour into the room.
«Isa, there are too many. I need you to focus on the clones from a distance. We’ll keep at the basins!» Willy tells her.
Many of these clones are now armed with machine guns. The three can now easily see the bullets as they travel towards them. Any bullet that manages to hit one of them is quickly absorbed and any internal damage is healed instantaneously.
Isa’s arrows begin taking out clones as quickly as she releases them. She moves around the room with amazing speed and agility.
«Okay, Isa, we’ve destroyed all the basins,» Nicky tells her.
«Go, go, go,» Willy yells. This time they try not to engage, but rather avoid and take out the clones only when necessary.
But the corridors are full of them.
Nicky roars and clears a path.
«Run through them now!» Willy yells. Willy leads the charge, his claws tearing and slashing as he runs. «I see the exit.»
They finally make it outside. «Oh no, not again!» Isa yells.
Chapter 44 - Awe
“How many do you think there are?”
“Thousands I guess,” Nicky answers. They all stop and simultaneously start to concentrate on their essences. Connecting, they start to dimly glow a light blue as the essence begins to surge through them.
“You guys see that mountain?” Willy points to it. “Let’s get to the top. We’ll have a tactical advantage up there.”
They quickly reach the top with clones following close behind. The clones start ascending. They don’t know how or why, but all three feel compelled and begin making a beautiful sound, like a Native American war song. Nicky, Isa, and Willy begin glowing more brightly. Their essences are somehow making them more powerful with every passing second, almost as if preparing them for the battle ahead. The clones are almost at the top with them.
In waves of forty to fifty clones at a time, they begin to reach the peak. Isa begins flinging arrows desperately. Nicky’s tomahawks and Willy’s war clubs are raining down on the clones so fast, they appear only as blue streaks across the sky.
Eventually, because of their overwhelming numbers, clones begin to reach the peak and the battle turns to hand-to-hand combat. Each of the kids have now manifested their powerful animal weaponry.
The beautiful and powerful legs of the palomino horse emerge from Isa. At the same instant, the intimidating claws and teeth of the grey wolf appear as a part of Willy. Nicky manifests menacing claws and teeth like those of the grizzly bear. All of them glow more brightly and intensely as the essences that flow through them increase their power.
Isa begins to kick and strike the clones tactfully and at amazing speeds as they approach her. Her kicks look like blue streaks. They are so powerful and precise that she kills multiple clones with every kick. Dozens upon dozens of clones fly through the air with every devastating blow.
Nicky fights in a much more aggressive manner than Isa. He’s delivering such vicious strikes and slashes that bloody bodies begin amassing all around him. Clones begin to fear getting near him, especially when he begins to roar. Any clone in the way of his devastating sonic weapon is instantly sent flying, eventually to the bottom of the mountain.
Willy attacks in an aggressive but tactical style. He advances with incredible agility, retreats, then slashes and bites. His speed is devastating to the clones as he slaughters them before they even have time to mount an attack.
In all of the mayhem, three clones in a prone position manage to crawl through the blood near Nicky’s back. Nicky has almost lost control to his grizzly essence allowing one of the clones to stand and kick him on the side of the right knee. He falls to one knee. The other two clones grab him and quickly throw him off the mountain.
Isa can see what’s happening. “Nooo!” she yells.
Willy stops and can only stare helplessly at what is transpiring.
As Nicky falls down the mountainside, he closes his eyes and thinks back to his training. He tries to connect with the eagle whose essence he shares and suddenly …
Nicky manifests wings!
“Ha! Ha … YES! I knew I could fly!” Beautiful blue, glowing eagle wings could be seen by everyone as he soars back up the mountain side. Everyone on the mountain stops fighting for just a second and stares in awe.
“He did it! He did it!” Isa screams.
“They can’t stop us!” Willy yells.
Their essences begin glowing even more intensely than before. The light projected from their bodies is almost blinding. The top of the mountain glows so intensely that in can be seen for miles around. The skill and the power that the three demonstrate is power this earth has never witnessed. The battle is so intense that the topography of the mountain is permanently changed.
Finally it’s over. Tens of thousands of clones lay dead all around the area.
After Nicky lands, he hugs Willy and Isa.
“Unreal! The clones never quit! They just kept coming. They really were like us,” notes Isa.
Police lights can be seen in the distance. The lights are getting closer and closer. Their alien vehicle arrives.
“Take us home, buddy. Take us home,” Nicky says.
Chapter 45 - Ring
Beat up, but ecstatic, all three make it home. They arrive laughing.
“That was awesome! You guys kick more butt than I thought was possible!” Nicky exclaims.
“Hey, and you flew … I couldn’t believe it,” Willy laughs.
“I always believed I could, and I know in time we’ll all fly!”
“So,” Isa asks, “What’s next?”
RING!
“I wonder who that could be,” Nicky says.
They all smile.
“Hello?”
