I'm kinda bored today and felt like posting 2 chapters. 
------------------------------
Chapter 37; Scatter (Part 1)
------------------------------
Wraith and Ohm dart through Alpha Base, Wraith stops and enter the weaponry room, swiftly, he loads up on everything that he can carry. Ohm flies through the corridors and stops quickly at the doorway out. Wraith spins into the bike room where Jimmy is just finishing a tune up on a new bike.
Jimmy: Just finished, this baby's got everything from every previous bikes.
Wraith: Thanks Jimmy.
Jimmy: Ron? (Wraith looks up.) Go kick some ass.
Hopping on the bike Wraith smirks and revs the engine with the sound of a race car, he speeds through corridors passing Ohm, 'This way!' he yells, Ohm runs back from the door catching up with Wraith on his bike. 'Where are we going?!' Ohm yells, Wraith presses a button on the side of the bike and just lowers his head. They speed out of the corridor into the cave portion of the base. The cave begins to twist and turn and the heroes follow the path. The mouth of the cave finishes opening at the end, the opening is in the side of a cliff opening out over the Pacific shore. 'Catch me!' Wraith yells, as he lowers his head and speeds up and out of the cliff. Ohm jumps off the cliff after him, a second later Ohm flies up holding Wraith on his bike as they U-turn back onto the road above. Ohm lets Wraith go onto the road at around 120 mph, getting his balance; Wraith flips open a case on his handle and presses a blue button doubling the speed of the bike within seconds. Ohm, flying above, takes out his communicator.
Ohm: Oxi, situation?
Oxi: We got problems, big time.
Ohm: (Rolling his eyes) Why am I not surprised, what is it?
Oxi: Amp, Potentia, and people we've never even seen before with amazing powers attacking cities all over the country.
Ohm: Is this supposed to be some sort of devious diversion devised by Drake? ... whoa, say that 5 times fast.
Oxi: It's really likely; Pyra is in Dallas facing of against some ice girl who calls her self Glaciara according to Anemoi. Anemoi is battling Amp in DC, and I kind of have my hands full with Potentia here in Manhattan.
Ohm: Terrific, looks like it's--
Oxi: I just got a report of a Gray figure with smog like abilities attacking Vegas.
Ohm: (He takes a deep breath for a second, remembering his battle in Punta Arenas) Wraith you got that?
Wraith: (Making a sharp left) I'm there.
Ohm: Oxi, anything else?
Oxi: Yes. Drake broke into NASA's Launch site in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
Ohm: Dibs.
Ohm turns off the communicator and increases his speed leaving a sonic boom in his wake. Meanwhile in Dallas, Pyra flies into a building. Cracking her neck she gets back up and in a blaze of heat, she flies up to Glaciara who merely deflects her back with a shield of ice. Flipping in mid-air, she launches numerous fireballs at Glaciara, the last one hits and she tumbles to the ground. Pyra flies toward her but she catches herself on a slide of ice she creates and launches herself back up toward the oncoming Pyra. 'Dragon's Freeze!' she yells and a snowing dragon like appearance begins to cover her. 'Dragon's Flare!' Pyra yells and the same dragon only of fire envelopes her. The two forces of nature collide with deafening proportions; they seem to be locked in a stalemate of ice verse fire. Pyra grits her teeth against the force of the ice; Glaciara smirks as she realizes she's gaining the upper hand. Pyra closes her eyes for a second then as she opens them, her entire body combusts into super heated hot flames, as she becomes the dragon. The increased power proves too much for Glaciara as the fire wins rushing over her melting her last defense. Glaciara falls to the ground unconscious, Pyra lands on a car next to her completely out of breath. Police arrive on the scene and help Pyra into the medical truck.
In Vegas, Wraith speeds down the strip looking for the gray figure Ohm described to him. Suddenly he is struck off his bike by a rancid wind of some sort. Flipping in mid-air he lands on his bike which automatically knows his position. Looking up, he sees the figure Ohm had talked about.
Smoking Creature: Where is Lectrohm?
Wraith: Busy, (Holds up a gun) can I help you?
Smog being: We creatures of smog are unaffected by your pitiful physical weapons.
Wraith: Let's test that.
Wraith rapidly fires shots that pass right through the Smog being, 'Ok, you weren't lying there.' The creature splits into 4 smaller versions who all charge Wraith, who launches missiles at each one from his bike. Two hit, two miss, one of them launches a concentrated blast a fumes at Wraith's face knocking him back off his bike as if it was a physical force. Wraith lands and is about to get on when he sees his bike disintegrated before his eyes by the other creature's smog. 'Crap' he says under his breath, people flee from every direction away from the fight. Wraith's spear extends as he takes it out from his back, and he charges forward at the two flying at him. He slices each one in half and they form two more each, he repeats and they form new ones again. The other 2 hit by the missiles regains their balance and attack. Wraith repeats the process until there are dozens of foot high Smog beings all around him. They attack all at once latching on here and there, taking his spear away from him, sword, axe, stars, guns, Wraith gets fed up and stops fighting, the Smog beings stop questioningly and in that split second Wraith whispers a few words and begins to glow blue. The aura around him expands suddenly knocking off every creature; Wraith looks up and sees all of the creatures forming back into a new one.
Smog being: You... you solidified me.
Wraith: (Smirking) Making you one hell of a target.
Wraith runs and jumps toward the being and disappears in mid-air, the Smog being looks around rapidly trying to find out where he went. Wraith reappears in mid-air behind him side kicking the creature in the head with a glowing foot. 'My body is swelling with this spiritual power, looks like the old man was right.’ Wraith says in striking stance towards the creature, who, after gaining his balance, fires a huge shot of smog completely overwhelming Wraith. Inside the blast, Wraith concentrates on his body and his entire body glows brilliantly. The smog blast is then knocked back leaving Wraith standing with the blue aura around him as if he was on fire.
Smog being: You... are no mere mortal...
Wraith: Got that right stinky.
The smog being screeches furiously, Wraith ignores it as the creature charges for a final attack with the deadly smog covering his fist. Wraith steadies himself and as the creature gets into striking range, Waith strikes, palm open, to his chest. The smog being flinches as his glowing hand penetrates right through, then, as if grabbing and ripping, Wraith makes a fist snapping his arm into a 90 degree angle. The Smog being fades through Wraith's arm and disintegrates before he hits the ground. Wraith's blue aura gradually fades and he falls to one knee.
Wraith: (Panting) Need time to rest... (He takes out a communicator) Jimmy, got a problem. I need a ride.
Jimmy: (Flying STAR over Vegas) Problem solved.
