The D.E.K. swings faster towards Jaden. The hot rats run over Sabrina’s hands and feet trying to escape the heat. Sabrina quickly jumps up screaming and hopping up and down. She steps to the corner of the inside shield. The dirty subway rats smell like a dirty mop and cooking hot dogs. The rats are squealing and running in circles. The rats stay away from Jaden and the D.E.K.. Jaden concentrates on increasing the size of the shield area. Sabrina’s loud continuous screaming echoes all around the inside shield. She jumps up and down trying to kick them away from her feet. The D.E.K. strikes Jaden’s face with its hand and he falls backwards while landing on a bunch of rats. The rats freak out and surround Sabrina’s feet. Jaden quickly stands back up and smashes some rats with his hands.
“Ahhhhhh!” She yells at the top of lungs jumping up and down with nowhere to run. The rats jump up and down with her because of the hot concrete.
The D.E.K. begins to move very fast while swinging the sword and throwing kicks at Jaden, striking him in several locations around his body and creating more wounds. Jaden feels more pain and more dark shiny energy forming around his body. Jaden can’t keep up with the speed, his nanotime is still offline. He is getting deep cuts around his body. He takes a few more steps back and the heat inside the shield increases significantly. Jaden gets a lucky kick on the D.E.K.’s chest area. It falls outside the shield area and into the hot flames. Jaden sees his overall weapons energy is at two percent. He needs to get Sabrina to a safe location so he can fight this D.E.K. by himself. He starts to walk towards his right. The bright aqua projectile falls from the sky and into the ocean a few miles south of lower Manhattan. There is a huge explosion and water rises hundreds of feet into the air.
“Walk to your right Sabrina, or hop to your right! Watch out for the sidewalk!”
