"Aw shit" I say as I get up and wipe my clothing, I think something is broken, maybe one of my ribs. Either that or I'm overreacting. Anyways as the ceiling shakes from the man's voice the security guards from the checkpoint earlier came up the stairs.
"sir stop right there!" one screamed. They pulled out their service weapons and pointed them at the surged man. "We won't hesitate to shoot!" their hands were shaking. "I gotta get out of here!" I got up and tried to run away but the man looked back in my direction and yelled again "LEAVE!"
Now big chunks of the ceiling were crashing down, the screams of other citizens erupted from the lower floor of the station and started pouring into the food court. There were multiple gunshots and crushing sounds of debris falling. I coughed from all the dust being thrown up and tried to get up again only for there to be a slight problem
My leg had a giant piece of rock on it.
Well, it was more ceiling material than a rock but there really isn't any difference. I attempted to pull the rock off of my leg, only to be met with more pain.
The crazy guy popped his head out from the rubble and turned back and stared at me, now with two bullet holes in his chest "easy man…" I tried to talk to him "I don't know what you want but please don't do that yelling thing again!" either he didn't hear me, or he couldn't hear period, because he was about to speak again.
Suddenly, the crazy man got pelted with a rock and thrown to the ground "Sir are you okay?" a man with brown slicked back hair ran up to me from the debris "does it look like I'm okay?" I asked him, "also shouldn't you running away?"
"Oh, I ran in here…. deliberately"
We stared at each other for a brief moment
"Why?"
The man made a smug expression "because I'm the one they sent to deal with that guy!" he then points at my gray-haired friend. "Let me get that rock for you and I'll deal with him." The man then put out his finger and started focusing. Slowly, the rock lifted itself up from my leg and was set to the side.
"Can you walk?" he asked, "n-not currently" "well shit" he looked back, and the crazy guy was back up on his feet, now with a big bruise on his head. "Okay just sit tight and let the surged handle this!" he then got up and gave me a thumbs up as he went to face the crazy guy
Okay you know what? I'm gonna just call the crazy guy grey because just calling them "the guys" is hard
Anyways as the guy went to face grey he put out his left hand and made a clenching motion. Suddenly, 3 nearby rocks went to his left flank "alright crazy!" he said "you survived two bullets?! Impressive!" grey turned back and readied some more of his deadly words "STAY BACK!" but unlike his last 3 sentences the man was ready.
He put the 3 rocks in front of him and they crumbled together to resemble a wall. As the shockwave reached him and contacted the wall it pushed the man back a little, but he kept his ground.
"Send a shockwave via speaking?" the guy said as he waved his hands around and the rubble in front of him formed into tiny spikes. "Guess that all you got!" he then pushed his hand in a forward motion and all the spikes launched forward.
Grey seemed to be surprised about the man's little trick, he tried to yell something along the lines of "WHA" before the spikes reached him and he fell to the ground.
"Wo-ho!" the man made a little fist pump in the air and looked back at me "did you see what I did?!" I felt dazed and I'm probably losing blood from that leg injury, so I gave him a mix of a nod and just moving my head in a circle "right you need help" he walked over to try and help me up and I saw behind him that grey was getting back up!
I tried to warn the guy I really did. But if me saying "be-beh-behind" wasn't enough to get through his thick skull my attempt of "pointing" wasn't good enough either.
"STOP THAT!"
The guy couldn't react in time to greys scream of power and flew back behind me. As the ceiling continued to collapse two rocks fell next to me
and then one fell directly on my face.

I opened my eyes again and I was just seeing black…
nothingness
am I dead?
well probably not, after all I am still thinking.
Then suddenly, I saw a spark.
It was pretty small, but it was floating through the void, I reached out for it with the hands I seem to not have and somehow, I grabbed it.
I was then shocked awake.
I looked around and everything seemed the same, grey was still standing up, now with some rocks in his chest as well, and the other guy was on the floor, he must've had a head on Collison with some debris.
But something else was off.
I felt…fine
My leg was okay, and I was completely focused
I looked down at my body and…
"Oh shit!"
There was a thick layer of what looked like blue lightning in front of my clothing, sort of like an armor "what the hell is this!" I tried to touch it, but my hands went right through it then I saw it was on my whole body, except my head.
"Dang man" coughed the brown-haired guy "you're a surged"
