Electricity-29
Thomas' POV
I sat holding my arm that The Killer broke. I still call him that because he is not Lynn's dad in any way other than blood. But what's even worse than him breaking my arm is Zayn saying he didn't care if he killed me. That made me really sad. Now I'm watching Them tell The Killer exactly what he wants for Lynn. I guess I see who they really care about.
I tapped Sammy whispering, "Please wake up. I think he might hurt us."
Sammy didn't wake up. I started shaking her adding more force when she still didn't wake up.
"Sammy," I whispered again, "please wake up. Nobody cares about me but you and I don't know what to do. I need your help, please. Wake up for me."
"Now that wasn't too hard, was it?"
I turned around and saw The Killer drop Lynn. He was smiling. Why was he smiling?
"Let's wake up our little growly friend over there, shall we," The Killer asked before he was standing right in front of me.
I blocked Sammy from him and said, "Don't hurt her."
He just laughed and said, "What? Did you find yourself a new mommy? Jokes on you. She doesn't care about you. None of these people do. They let me break your arm without saying a thing, but when I was going to hurt Lynn the helped her right away. It's kinda funny that you thought they did. You really are innocent, aren't you? No. You're just plain stupid."
He pushed me to the side without touching me. I landed right on my broken arm and screamed at the pain.
Alex rushed to my side and said, "It's okay, It's okay. Sit up. I'm sorry we couldn't help you."
That made me mad because they could.
"You could have! You helped Lynn, didn't you," I shouted pushing Alex's hand away and getting up on my own.
"You guys are just as bad as my mother," I could suddenly feel this power flowing through me and I felt stronger, "what's going on?"
I looked over to The Killer and saw him smiling. What?
"Three down two to go," he remarked turning to Lynn and Sammy who was now awake.
I ran over to Zayn and asked, "I'm still mad at you but what is he talking about?"
Zayn sighed and said, "It'll heal, get over it. He is talking about how your eyes are glowing like ours now. It's all because he told you we don't care about you and then you got mad and boom. Glowing eyes. Now, all he needs to do is make Sammy and Lynn's eyes glow too and he can kill us."
"Or we could kill him," I stated confidently.
He's right about The Killer telling me that. Maybe they do care after all. But there is one thing Zayn's wrong about. None of us are dying. Not anymore.
Zayn sighed and muttered, "yeah we'll see about that."
"Alright," The Killer boomed, "Who's next?"

Zayn's POV
How are going to defeat this guy? We have already seen the wide array of powers he has and I'm pretty sure that's just a sample.
Sammy looked annoyed as she said, "You do know once we're done with this we'll be able to defeat you just as well as you'll be able to kill us. So, yeah, I'll go next. Just know that when I'm triggered we are one step closer to killing you."
The Killer smirked and said, "Oh look! We have ourselves a heroine! But come on, let's be honest what are you gonna do? Growl at me? You know I faintly remember your boyfriend saying something heroic like that. I can't remember exactly what it was though. Because right before he finished I slit his throat open. Also if you haven't noticed I broke Thomas' arm. I wonder what would happen if I did that to your sister?"
I wanted to say something. I wanted to do something. But the times not right. I can still feel the power build up but it seemed to get better every time somebody else gets triggered. But right now I don't know if that's a good thing. I bit my tongue knowing whatever I would say, would make things worse.
A loud growl broke me from my reverie. Oh, no. You see the thing is, Sammy has more control in some form than others. It's the same with all shapeshifters. That's why most only have one form like Theo or a werewolf. Sammy has the most control in her cheetah or wolf form, which is why I'm worried. From what I've seen she never turned into a bear before. Sammy now had grabbed Lynn in her mouth and was carrying her over here. Why is she doing that? I turn to my right and see Thomas standing there. Wait,I get it! She's protecting them.
I moved to where Alex was and said, "I get that she is trying to protect them but why Lynn? I get her protecting Thomas because they're really close but I didn't think her and Lynn really were."
Alex sighed and said, "They're not. I think that she thinks Lynn is her sister. The Killer just said she has one."
That makes sense. But how do we get her back now? She could screw everything up or worse get somebody killed. I looked over at The Killer who looked like he was watching a movie. Sammy suddenly started stalking up to him. She roared and charged him biting into his arm. He just smirked and pushed her off of him.
"That's enough of that."
With that, he froze Sammy. He then walked over to her, well he walked over to the grizzly bear. The bear was standing on two legs looking ferocious. It was at least nine feet tall. Needless to say, Sammy was towering over Lynn's father. That didn't seem to stop him though as he started to float up to the bears jet black eyes. He then placed his hands on the beard broad shoulders and unfroze the time.
Less than a second after he looked into Sammy's eyes and said, "You will turn back into your human form right now. Don't worry, I'll make sure you are fully clothed."
I heard the crackling of bones and surely enough Sammy was standing there fully clothed. God, I hate hypnotism. One more thing I noticed is that now her eyes were glowing brown, great.
"One more to go! Wow, this has been super easy," The Killer exclaimed stretching out the go.
I bit down on my lip forcefully trying hard not to make a snide remark. I can just pray that Lynn is good at not getting angry. I mean she normally, but I guess if there is anybody that could do it, it would be her father. But who knows, Lynn has taken a lot emotionally. She could either take this perfectly and not react, like always, or she could finally crack. I would really prefer the first one, but this isn't up to me. It's all up to her. But on the other hand, if she does crack we will be able to defeat The Killer once and for all, but if we don't...
"Alright Madelynn, let's see. I can't get in your mind but that makes sense, so I guess I'm going solo on this one."
"I'm surprised," Lynn said holding on to a livid Sammy's arm, "I thought this would be easy for you since you're all-knowing. Maybe you don't know anything. Wait, you definitely know how to leave. That was a no-brainer for you, wasn't it."
I tried hard to suppress a laugh, but The Killer didn't seem to find what Lynn said humorous at all.
"I'm sorry but am I supposed to feel bad for you," The Killer asked Lynn, "we haven't quite covered sympathy in evil villain class yet."
My tongues gonna fall if I bite any harder.
"Have they covered anything there? You hypnotized me and I was still a better villain than you."
I looked around to see who said that, but everybody was staring at me. Uh oh. Why can't I just keep my mouth shut? I swear I'd talk back to the devil. Before I knew it The Killer was standing right in front of me.
"I can't kill you," he said through clenched teeth, "but it never says I can't hurt you severely."
Right at this words, It felt like my insides were being torn out. I flopped down to the ground, seizing in pain. I could see the blood covering the fabric of my shirt.
"Feels good, doesn't it. The feeling of being ripped apart piece by piece. Do you know what's really great? You'll heal. And when you do, I'll do it again and again," The Killer said with malice.
I cried out in pain as I felt something else ripped out of me. I felt somebody grab me but I was losing consciousness. I tried to hijack into the extra power but it was like it was blocked off. I was now hearing screams and shouts. But I could barely keep my eyes open now. I could feel blood all around me. It was like I was swimming in it.
The last thing I heard before I reluctantly let the darkness take over was a female voice say, "I'm sorry! But I couldn't watch him do that to you. You could die because of me now but I won't let you. You can't I can't live without you. But then again neither can the entire world. So please don't die."
I tried to say that I was okay, but the darkness took over rendering me useless, again.
*****************************************************************
I could see something. It was like something was flashing in the darkness. The flashing was getting closer and brighter. It was like flashes of energy. I was going up towards it, almost there. But just as I was about to reach it I stopped going up. I felt something like a push and I began plummeting.
"You're not finished yet." I heard a familiar voice say right before my eyes flew open.
I gasped before sitting straight up. I looked around and saw everybody standing around me.
"Where's The Killer," I asked standing up to see if I could find him.
"He's over there," Sammy said thrusting her thumb over her shoulder, "Lynn got into his head and fried some circuits. I don't how she did it but it triggered her so now we are killable. But what concerns me more is that you're still alive and perfectly fine. How?"
I sighed in relief before saying, "I don't know what happened exactly. All I know is that I was ascending towards this flashing light. It felt almost like energy, but as soon as I got close I stopped. Then I started falling an heard somebody say, 'you're not finished yet.'"
Sammy looked just as shocked as I felt. But we were shocked about different things. I was shocked that me being hurt triggered Lynn. Usually, it's either something you really care about or something that makes you just plain furious. So why me? Also that voice. But it can't be who I think it is. That makes no sense.
"When is he going to wake up," I questioned hoping we would have some time.
"We don't really know," Alex answered walking over us, "But since you were out for about fifteen minutes it really shouldn't be much longer."
I sighed in frustration, "Well, what are we going to do? It's not like we have forever to figure it out so let's get to it."
"Zayn, I saved you don't make me regret it," Lynn said looking up from her father, "I can still hear what he's thinking and I'm pretty sure he's gonna attack as soon as he wakes up, so we have to be ready for that."
Okay, so all we have to do is defeat an evil killer. Shouldn't be that hard, right?
"How are we going to do that? We know that Alex and Zayn are supposed to kill him so how are the rest of us going to help?"
Thomas finally asked what all of us were thinking. Sadly, nobody knew how to answer that question.
"We're all here for a reason. All we need to figure out is how we can use our powers to our advantage. What can we do that he can't?"
Sammy looked around at all of us for answers.
"Well," Alex started, "he was pretty surprised when Lynn played around in his head. He must not be able to do that. Maybe she can distract him."
"Oh, and he said he didn't have may power. So maybe I and Lynn can both distract him," Thomas suggested shaking out his healed arm.
"Good idea! Then he'll be distracted mentally and physically. Anybody else? She looked at me hopefully.
"We know that not many shapeshifters can take as many shapes as you so you could take an unexpected shape. Something that'll rough him enough that he too distracted to kill anybody else. Something he'll underestimate. Can you turn into a Slow Loris?"
"If I know the name I can turn into it. What does it do?"
"It's poisonous," I said glancing at the still unconscious man, "It had this venom that comes from its elbow. So if it gets on its teeth its bite is deadly. The bit won't kill him because of the healing though. Also, it's obviously slow, hence the name, so you'll have to get close."
Yeah, I like animals okay. The Killer will definitely underestimate this animal so this should work really good.
"Last but not least, "Lynn remarked still standing over her father, "we know that Alex and Zayn have to be the ones to kill him. So we have to make sure none we do or who knows what will happen. But I'm pretty sure it won't be good. I think that you two will have to combine powers like you've done before. I don't know what weather you should do, but I'm betting on lighting. How much do you think you could generate together?"
Alex has always been the math person so I'll let him figure this out. He seemed to be thinking it out just as I figured.
"About a million times more than he can handle. I'm going to talk math now so be ready. Enough electricity to kill a regular person is 0.1-0.2 amps, so with the healing killing him would require about 0.4 amps of electricity. A single lighting bolt has anywhere from 10,000-200,000 amps of electricity in, so assuming we both can create the most powerful bolt of lighting we would have 400,000 amps of electricity. So if we divide 400,000 by 0.4 we get 1,000,000. Meaning we can send enough electricity to kill him and then some. That is if we can do it."
I looked at Alex in complete shock. Ha, shock. But it was comforting to know that we could kill him. I think that's what all of that meant anyway.
"I don't get it," Thomas said rubbing his shaking his head, "too much math!"
We all laughed, what could possibly be our last laugh ever. Let me tell you it felt good. To just laugh.
"None of us do," Lynn said now serious, "All you need to know is that we can win. We just want you to distract him and not get killed. We can do the rest."
"He's waking up," Lynn shouted scurrying over to us.
We all began to ready ourselves. I thought of everything I had to be sad and scared about and channeled that into anger. Then, I thought about everything I had to be angry about and channeled that into hatred. Hatred towards him. I then looked over at Alex who nodded at me.
"Let's do this," I confidently said.
"Yeah, let's," said The Killer, now on his feet.
"Go!" shouted Sammy.
And just like that, everything sprung into action. It wasn't pretty.
_______________________________________________________
Heeeeey! I have a bit of a key for you just in case Alex's explaination confused you...
100-200 milliamps=0.1-0.2 amps- DEADLY FOR HUMANS.-seeing that all of the people with powers have healing ablities their tolorence would be more.
Single bolt of lightning- 10,000-200,000 amps
12 volt= an amp
I hope that helped! If your still confused comment below and I'll explain! :)
