Here's Part 2 
------------------------------
Chapter 38; Scatter (Part 2)
------------------------------
In Washington DC, Anemoi chases Amp who is riding on some sort of levitating platform through the city. Looking back at his pursuer, Amp fires sonic waves at the buildings on each side of him down the street, people cover their ears and scatter in all directions.
Anemoi: Amp! Stop! What are you doing?!
Amp: Setting up! Out of my way!
Anemoi flies high to avoid the sounds and tries to fire concussive blasts of air at him; looking ahead, she notices he is heading towards the Smithsonian. He dodges and flips around flying backwards, raising his hands Amp shows he integrated the new sonic technology into his suit. He fires waves of sound at Anemoi who swirls in mid-air to dodge, while she dodges, she creates a whirlwind in front of Amp to stop him from getting to the building. Amp suddenly stops firing the sound waves and turns around just in time to dodge the wind.
Anemoi: What are you setting up?!
Amp: Not your problem! (He fires a sonic blast knocking Anemoi back a few blocks)
Anemoi: (Flies down taking Amp of the disc and slamming him into a nearby building) I'm making it my problem!
Amp: You really want to know?
Anemoi: Yes. (She hisses)
The disc comes back for Amp and slams knocking her through the fire escape of the building. Amp comes to the Smithsonian as people scatter everywhere, police try to take Amp out but he presses a button on the disc he is standing on and an ear-shattering screech pierces through the block, taking the police to their knees. Amp then raises his disc so that the bottom faces the building and presses a red button on top, highly concentrated beam of sound waves hits the wall destroying it on impact. Amp circles around the building destroying it here and there.
Anemoi soars overhead and a rapidly shoots blasts of air and Amp knocking him off his disc to the ground below. Shaking it off he sends an ear shattering noise at Anmeoi, she dodges and flies around Amp gradually increasing in speed. A miniature tornado encircles Amp, who is lifted of the ground and spins with the wind. Anemoi takes her chance and strikes Amp multiple times as he looses all direction in the wind. In a final, powerful kick, Amp is knocked out of the dieing tornado and falls to the ground. The police on the ground immediately cuff Amp and take him away; Anemoi floats down in front of them.
Anemoi: What were you trying to do?
Amp: Wouldn't you like to know?
Anemoi: That is why I'm asking nicely. Don't make me get angry.
Amp: (Laughing) Some guy paid me and some other people to create a distraction, a good one. Looks like it worked.
The officers take Amp away and Anemoi looks down for a second, then she takes out her communicator. 'Anemoi to all points, Amp was a setup, something bigger is going on.' She switches it off and flies into the sky back to New York. Oxi speeds on his bike through Manhattan. 'Potentia!' he yells, all of the sudden a vine crosses the street flipping Oxi over the handle bars. He explodes into a liquid on contact and almost immediately solidifies himself again. Potentia rides on her pet around the street corner, people all around flee at the sight of a giant Venus fly trap slithering through the city.
Potentia: Oxidro, right? You're the acid guy.
Oxi: I'm touched, what are you doing out of jail?
Potentia: Jail? Is that what you call it? (Sighing and shaking her head) Look around, too much industry, not enough Earth left for everyone. I deserve what little is left, if you have a death wish, stay in my way.
Oxi doesn't move, and Potentia springs off her leaf as her arms turn into spiked vines. She strikes Oxi who stands still and allows himself to get hit. The vines cut right through Oxi's arms; Potentia retracts her vines which are smoking. She looks at them then up at Oxi as his arms grow from the acid. Smirking he let's out a small, 'Can't touch this,' infuriated, Potentia commands the vine she rode in on to attack him. At the top, its head grows into a fly trap and it bashes Oxi high into the air. Spinning about, Oxi begins to liquefy and grow; he lands on the street in his huge acidic form. Still not as big as the fly trap, he is just as, if not more deadly.
He rushes the fly trap, when two more appear out of no where and grab the giant Oxidro in their jaws which immediately begin to smoke. The third fly-trap bashes giant Oxi over and over again, when the two vines holding completely disintegrate, two more take their place. Getting tired and fed up with the abuse, giant Oxi roars at the top of his lungs and explodes acid all over the block. The fly traps peel over squealing and Potentia falls over badly burned. Police screech on the scene looking at the block as it melts down. Oxi reverts back to normal and the police immediately lock up Potentia's arms and legs; Oxi thanks the police and notifies the others of the battle results via the communicator.
Ohm sears through the air over the US, making his way to Florida, four F-16's, two on either side, fly down next to him. They seem to be headed they same direction as Ohm, they signal forward.
Ohm: (Holding two fingers to his ear) I'm electrically patched into your com links, what can I do for you?
Pilot #1: We were hoping you could help us. Government says there's been a disturbance at NASA's launch pad in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
Ohm: I'll bet.
Pilot #2: We're to provide air support to you and your team... uh, where is your team?
Ohm: (Almost laughing) All over the place.
Pilot #1: We're coming up on the launch site now...
Ohm's face changes from ferocity to awe as the aircrafts and Ohm enter visual range of the site. The entire launch area is covered in a bubble of dark plasma. The entire bubble is 2 miles wide at least; crimson electricity fluctuates around it, 'Good God...'
