I take away the remnants of my burning clothes, remaining totally naked. I glance for an instant behind me, to see the giant furry dragon helping Chance to get rid of his own clothes.
In front of me, the two giggling girls. This make no sense. In a giant tower in the middle of the Amazon jungle there are two teen age teens, dressed like go-go dancers, speaking plain American and showing psychic powers.
This makes no sense.
“Father wouldn’t be pleased if…” says one of the girl, “… we allow you ruin his fun” end the sentence the others.
They send another mental bolt, but this time I can anticipate it. The bolt catch me, take me off ground and send me back to the wall on the back, but this time I am quick to spread my wings, stopping at mid-air, and flying back toward the girls.
This time the surprise is on their part.
Ladnikia cuts their heads with a simple, elegant movement. The two heads roll down the stair.
I turn back. The dragon and the scientist are staring at me. “Ed… I am sure there was another way…” begins Chance. “ I could…” He stops out of a sudden. His eyes looks surprised. “My power!”
I get it. The blast of the twins has not bounced back. It seems his power doesn’t work. How’s that possible.
Pain.
Great pain in my mind.
Jackie is near here.
“Questions for later, Chance. We need to find Ameristar.” I run upward, along the stair. The two follow me, but I can’t not notice how Chance looks disgusted at my sword.
