Chapter Eight: Prison Break
Damon sat thinking in his cell for hours. His thoughts were interrupted once again by a call to action. He heard commotion outside followed by a deep rumble coming from the ground. He could hear people talking upstairs. He couldn't make out much, but what he did hear was the word "earthquake". Damon got up frantically and charged at the cell door with his shoulder, causing it to crash to the ground. He had learned that one in training. He crouched and began heading towards the stairs. He caught sight of a door to his right labeled "Prisoner Belongings" and went inside.
What he found inside was Rogue's exosuit, his watch, Fang's helmet, and Bullet's entire suit. It was all too much to carry. He turned around and went to grab his teammates so they could all get their stuff and break out. He gets back into the hallway and turns left towards the cells. In the next four cells down from his, Damon sees his teammates in each cell. He breaks each one out and leads them to their stuff.
After they each got back in their suits, they started to head up the stairs. They were greeted by four of Drew's foot soldiers. Dart threw darts at two while Bullet grabbed the other two and threw them out of the cave. They all went outside and looked for Drew. Everyone was running around in different directions, possibly following orders from their so-called "leader". Dart looked to Drew's throne, but he wasn't there. They all went outside to look for him. They found him. Trapped under a tree.
Dart was the first one to arrive at the scene. Drew was trying to wiggle out from under the tree, but it was no use. Dart tried lifting it, but it was impossible.
"Help!" Dart screamed. Traverse came down and lifted the tree. Drew was injured, and Traverse couldn't hold up the tree for much longer, so Bullet sped under and pulled Drew out in less than a second.
As Dart began to examine the wound, it healed at an exponential rate. Drew stood up quickly and aimed his hands at them, green energy beginning to flow from his palms.
"Who are you?" Dart asked.
"Elementus."
The green energy shot from his palms, but even Bullet barely had time to move everyone out of the way. The green energy struck the fallen tree, shattering it to millions of pieces of pieces of debris. Bullet moved the Nightwatchers, one by one, to safety. Their refuge was a nearby cave, small enough to be hidden from sight. Bullet collapsed on the floor, panting. Exhausted. In the distance, they could hear Drew, or "Elementus", giving orders.
"Find them!" he shouted. "And bring them to me. Dead or alive."
