We were rushing through the city to get to the train before the elental military showed up. I pulled up Tommy's shop window while we were running. The shop window followed as I ran.
"Hey, Dylan. Where are you going?" Tommy said.
"No ti. Do you have more of those blue diamonds done?" I said.
"Yep. Everything except the really valuable, ancient, or mythical pieces, which don't amount to a lot of extra diamonds," he said. "That will be $30,000,000. You're clearly very busy, so I'll give you the rare pieces back at another ti."
'System, transfer the money. This ti, behind Tommy's counter so it doesn't get knocked over.'
[Done]
"Thanks! Now, I don't know how Hope is going to absorb the diamonds while you run," Tommy said.
"Hope, jump over Tommy's counter and absorb the diamonds, then jump back here," I said.
"On it," Hope said. She hopped into the rip in space that was Tommy's shop and rolled over the counter. "Where are the diamonds?"
"Oh, they're right here," Tommy said.
I kept running with Tommy's window trailing behind . I ran and through groups of people. I jumped over stalls and climbed walls. Anything to get to the train as fast as possible.
I could see the train in sight. I ran up to the turnstiles, put so silver sables into the slot and it dinged. I went through the turnstiles and ran to the train that was just arriving.
I stood right in front of the doors as they were opening, and was greeted with a bunch of militarily dressed people. It was the elental army. I stepped to the side in the hopes that they hadn't recognized , but a hand grabbed my collar and yanked on it.
I was turned around and ca face to face with a grizzled looking man with scars all over his face. He was wearing an officer's outfit and had several dals on his chest.
"Mr Sanguis, I believe. We haven't t yet. My na is Major General Stonewall. I'll be placing you under arrest for… sothing. Stealing from the military," Stonewall said.
"Is it stealing when I'm returning it to its rightful owners?" I said.
"I don't rightly know, and I don't care to know. All I know is you took sothing we need, and we need it back. So we'll be taking you into custody until you cough it up," he said.
"Actually, you wont be doing that. I want a trial by combat or just an opportunity to fight your whole army. I'm never giving up those gems, so you may as well kill , preferably in an honorable way," I said.
Hope jumped through the rip in space and landed on the ground next to . "What's going on? Who is this guy?"
"Whoa! Where did you co from? Wait, what is that?" The Major General said while looking at Tommy's shop counter.
"None of your business," I said. I closed the window and Tommy's counter disappeared. "Did you get done what you needed to?" I said to Hope.
"Yep. All set," she said.
"Good," I said. "So what do you say, Major General? Your troops vs and my girl Hope here?"
"How about I just cuff you, since I have a hold of you, and we go back to the sect headquarters?" Stonewall said.
Your journey continues on My Virtual Library Empire
He slapped a pair of cuffs on and tried to lead away, but I just broke the cuffs while stretching and yawning. "Oh my gosh! I'm so tired all of a sudden," I said. I looked down and pretended to be surprised that the cuffs were broken.
"Oh no! Your cuffs are broken! How are you going to take away now?" I ripped the remaining parts of the cuffs off my wrists casually and tossed them on the ground.
"Ok. What if I put heavy cuffs on you?" He said. He grabbed my hands with his hands and moving stone ford around my wrists and bound them together. When he was done, the cuffs were probably 200 pounds around my wrists and hands.
It would have been far too heavy for a normal person to even walk with them on, but I just yawned again and stretched. "Ah shit! I keep breaking your cuffs mister. What ever will we do?"
He grabbed my wrists and tried to carry onto the train like that. "Then I'll just restrain you myself!"
Now that he was actually attacking , I had no choice but to hurt him to get away and out of his grip. Similar to a force palm, I built up Vi around my wrists where Stonewall was grabbing . Then I explosively released the Vi.
His hands and forearms exploded into rocks that flew everywhere. I stepped away from him and said, "I'm sorry man. I didn't an to hurt you, but you really left no choice."
"You couldn't hurt if you tried," Stonewall said. He grew his forearms and hands back to their normal rocky form.
"Just allow a trial by combat or send all your n to fight us. This song and dance is getting old," I said, actually yawning this ti.
"Ok, I will. n! Get them and restrain them!" He said pointing at and Hope.
The soldiers clicked their bracelets a couple tis, and they changed into their elental forms. They didn't get any larger, but they were probably keeping that in check because we had a ceiling over our heads. It would put them at a disadvantage to be taller.
Most of them changed into so form of rock, tal, minerals or earth adjacent materials like sand and clay. Hope clicked her bracelet twice and changed into her diamond form but normal human size as well.
They surrounded us and then sent fighters in one or two at a ti. It wasn't exactly the best strategy, but I wasn't going to argue with an advantage.
I kicked the first two in the chest, exploding them into pieces, except for their heads. They were fine though. I could see them already starting to regenerate their bodies. I was pulled my punches a bit. Or rather, my kicks.
Hope was doing the sa. She punched one in the chest, exploding him, then she spun around and back hand fisted another one in the chest, exploding him as well.
Then she did a handstand front flip onto another guy, wrapping her legs around his head. She used her forward montum to tip him backwards and slam down on his neck as his body hit the ground, breaking off his head.
That was when they all rushed us at once. I looked at Hope and she looked at . A silent communication of expressions took place and we formulated a plan in that split second. I didn't have telepathic communication with her, but I didn't need to.
She jumped at with her head and arms forwards positioning her body horizontally. I grabbed her by the arms and began swinging her around in a circle as fast as I possibly could, which was really fast.
This wasn't like normal human swinging. This was incredibly super powered swinging. And I was swinging a person that was made of the hardest material on earth.
When they rushed us, Hope's legs and feet slamd into and broke apart dozens of n continuously. They just didn't stop coming even though we were obliterating them.
Eventually, we ran out of n to obliterate. All of the n that had been on the train were disabled from the fight for at least the next 10 or more minutes. I looked at all the heads on the ground. They were regenerating, but it wasn't fast like Stonewall.
I looked over at Stonewall and he was furious. "How dare you make a mockery of my n! I will destroy you!"
