Heavy breathing...grunts.....Raeon drags his body and crawls to a side.He can hear screams but in a muffled sound, his ears ringing, he looks around and saw people running, some are down on the ground, smoke and fire rising from behind the podium. He can vaguely make out the shapes of people on the podium, he tries to turn onto his back but doesn't have the strength to do it. His eyes are suddenly blinded by beam of light appearing from the sky.'The enforcers' this was the first time Raeon felt relieved to see them. Even though his father was one, Raeon was never fond of his job. The beam of light moved to the platform, and the spacecraft turned to face the two silhouettes standing on the platform.
'This doesn't feel right' the thought lingered in his mind as he saw the craft land a few feet away from the platform. ' where are the rest of the enforcers, there should be atleast few crafts and more soldiers, not a single cruiser'. He pulled himself back up, his legs shaking as he he tried to stand still but not loosing his focus on the man, who was about to be executed. He seems calm and composed as opposed to what was happening in the square. He slowly removed the hood placed on his head and looks up, takes a deep breath and looks around. Greyish blue eyes as sharp as a blade that can cut through layers of lies, black hair with deep brown ends that reminds Raeon of a military cut. Sharp and defined face, if the dark energy around him doesn't makes him look scary, the scar across his face would surely do the job.
Raeon feels a sudden rush of adrenaline, fear creeps under his skin as the man locks eyes with him. He just stared for a while, looking at Raeon or rather looking through him. The man's lips curled into a small smile, not the normal kind but the ominous kind of a predator who just cornered it's prey. He pulls his gaze away as the bay door of the cruiser opens. Two figures walked out a man and a woman, 'they are here to rescue him, they are from the rebellion' Raeon was lost in his thoughts that he almost didn't hear the roaring sound of engines coming towards him.
Patrol vehicles surround the square as Raeon looked around and a familiar voice shouted "Raeon, GET BACK.....MOVE OUT OF THE WAY, NOW" words from his father echoed around the square. For a moment his whole body felt numb then realisation comes to him as he uses all the energy left in his body to pull himself out of the line of fire and moves near his father. He gets back to the patrol car and drops down behind it, peeking through the corner.
"HANDS ON THE AIR AND KNEES DOWN ON THE GROUND NOW" David Reese commands.
"HA..HA..HAHAHAHA..AAAAHH..."the laughter cuts through the tension in the air. The convict looked up and took a deep breath and let it out while smiling, he had a look no sane man would have in this situation.
Guns where held on point at the rebels, the cold, blue energy charging inside them with a low hum.
" FIRE " a single word from David, sent hundreds of energized projectiles leaving the barrels at once.
Raeon watched the convict
' he's dead, execution or bullets, this world doesn't need shit like him.'
He couldn't finish his thoughts as the bullets came to a stand still in mid air.
" What the actual fuck" Raeon said in disbelief.
The rebel's face turned into a slight smile as he caught the projectiles heading in his direction in mid air with the raise of a hand. His eyes glowed a slight blue. The air around him feels energized, like the space warped around him.
"SHIT... TRANSCENDENT...CODE BLUE REQUESTING IMMEDIATE BACK UP." David said in a shaken tone to the silicon implant in his head.
" We are not here to cause any harm, I don't intend to kill any of you, so put down your weapons and just get out of my way "
The rebel said with a smile, in a composed manner as he turned the bullets now facing towards the enforcers.
' Dad...just let him go.' he wanted to tell this to his father, but he remained silent because he knows better than to interrupt his father's duty.
Maybe it was the telepathic connection, But David ordered the men to stand down.
The bullets that faced the enforces fell down like a handful of metal beads.
The rebel looked at them with a smile and boarded the craft which took off in an instant.
"Ready the cannon...."
"Cannon charging" a high pitched Humm of energy concentrating inside a huge barrel that's almost four feet long was in the hands of one the enforcers.
" Cannon charged.... Target locked.... Permission to fire."
"FIRE"
The cannon surged with power as it shot out a glowing ball of energy towards the sky, the ground around the cannon trembled and sent shockwaves.
The cruiser was already few hundred feet up in the air, but it wasn't a problem for a massive energy projectile device that is used for the very purpose of shooting down spaceships.
Boom the shot hit right on target and a flash of bright light covered the ship.
Smoke rose in the air from the ship.
'some thing's wrong ' Raeon felt the feeling again.
Then he realised the ship didn't explode.
