"But that doesn't make sense!" I tried to sweep the lightning off of me, but it wasn't going anywhere. "Does it?" the man attempted to get up and had to lean on a nearby table. "I mean as far as we know you can become a surged at any time!" he put his hand out "I'm Frank, Frank Donny" "uh I'm Jake Moorne" we shook hands and Frank Sighed "we gotta take that guy down together" he then grabbed my shoulder "I go left you go right?"
"Wait I don't know how to fight!" I said as Frank started to walk away "just punch him and dodge when he screams, you'll get the hang of it!" he then picked up more rocks and ran toward grey.
"This is crazy" I thought "I don't know how to fight!" but I took Franks advice to heart and started running at grey.
There are a couple things I noted right away.
First, I felt faster it was like I was weightless as I slid across the floor
I also noticed that the lightning surrounding my body was growing bigger and moving faster, as if it was storing my momentum.
Grey saw us moving towards him and did his natural move of yelling something at us, "AWAY!" his words were directed at me, the sound wave was growing closer and I kept picking up speed, enough speed to run straight past the wave of sound.
The wave rushed to where I originally was and hit the RGC, which caved in quickly "we can't be down here much longer!" I yelled to Frank. "Yeah yeah I know!" He crushed the rocks and sent another wave of spikes at grey. He reeled as the spikes pierced his skin. Grey was going to try to say something again, but Frank used a nearby bloody sweater to form a gag around grey's mouth "get him Jake!" Frank yelled as he strained to keep the gag on grey.
"What do you mean get him!"
"Punch him!"
"What do you mean punch him!"
Frank sighed "I mean go over there make a fist and punch him as hard as you can!"
"Wont that kill him?"
Frank nodded "yeah that's kinda what we're going for!"
It seemed that our bantering went a little too far and grey was able to break out of his makeshift gag and stared at Frank
"YOURE GONNA PAY FOR THAT!"
A big sentence. As Frank was still recovering from his power, the blast threw him through a Mr. Fonalds window and crashing into some tables,
"Frank!"
"Dang I barely know this guy, but I'm concerned for him? Well, he did save my butt back there" I thought. grey then walked towards the Mr. Folands and put his hand on his throat as if he was readying it for the final blow.
"FRANK NO!" I screamed as I threw my hand out in front of me. I thought it was hopeless, the first friend I made in the big city, dead already!
But what I didn't expect was that a couple strings of lightning shot out of my hand.
The lightning shot towards grey like a laser, when it hit him he flew into the wall with a loud "clang!"
I didn't have time to revel in this new ability, the station was 90% rubble at this point. The exit out was getting smaller and smaller.
I ran through the now broken Mr. Fonalds window and kneeled down next to Frank. "Frank wake up!" he was knocked unconscious. A tile from the ceiling then fell down not too far from us "god dam it" I mumbled to myself.
I attempted to hoist Frank up on my back, if it wasn't for the fact that I was surged, I probably would have been unable to pick him up, because he was heavier that the average human. After I got him comfortably on my back, I exited the Mr. Ronalds and B-lined for the exit, passing falling rocks and debris,
As I went up the stairs to the exit, I passed another pair of turnstiles and sidestepped some falling rocks, then I saw it, the light at the end of the tunnel "Finally! Were out of here" I said to Frank who was still taking his nap.
We were so close to freedom but just as we were about to escape a giant rock fell from the ceiling and blocked the path, rumbling the floor beneath us
"Aw come on!" I yelled to no one in particular "just my luck!"
The whole station was still falling apart, I had about 5 minutes before we would be crushed by falling debris.
This was bad
I put Frank down on the nearby wall and began to think
"Could I lift the boulder? Hell no its to big for that even then how would I get Frank out?"
"I could try to destroy it by punching it, but what if I make this place fall down faster? It's too risky"
That was about all the ideas I had, now there were 2 minutes left of time and I had to pick something
"Alright Frank let's get out of here"
I picked him up again and aimed my arm at the rock. I clenched my fist hard, and strings of lightning began to shoot out of that layer all over my body. The rock exploded and the station groaned.
I sprinted as fast as I could up the last flight of stairs and finally reached the top where I jumped out into the daylight, Slamming into the ground. I dropped Frank off my back and stared up at the sky
"I did it"
"Sir?" a voice said, "are you okay?"
I looked over and saw a rescue officer staring down at me.
"Yeah, just tired"
"well we're gonna help your friend here, might wanna get out of the scene."
"Right" I got up and studied my surroundings
About three dozen people were lined around caution tape staring yelling and taking photos of us,
there were cops that were standing as security and two people in mostly regular clothing talking to each other that I assumed were surged.
One had short black hair that was more parted to one side, kinda like mine, he was wearing an all-black shirt with dark sweatpants.
And the other was a woman who was wearing a hat that said: "go joules!" on it and a jacket that seemed a little too big for her, as if she was trying to be ignored
"Excuse me sir" a cop walked up to me "I'm officer Alvin Were gonna have to take you in for questioning."
