71 New Discovery

Lachlan and Dylan reached the address instantly, they looked down and noticed the military surrounding it. They were creating a circle and slowly moving in.

Bullets shot past them, some of them hit both Catastrophe and Storm. Fortunately, due to their high defence, it just felt like someone tap them. But after a few seconds, it began to annoy them. Lachlan and Dylan were hit once or twice as well, mainly on their legs.

They rushed down and landed in the front yard and got their beasts to screech and get the girls attention.

…

Inside the house the girls were waiting in the front room, staring outside the window waiting for Dylan and Simon to get here.

*Bang*

A door was slammed open from the back of the house, Tamika rushed to be the front of the group. Unfortunately the house didn't have enough room for her beast, so the only thing she could do was ready herself.

A man rushed around the corner, Tamika punched out, her fist slamming into the guy's guts.

*Arg*

He flew backwards into the wall, he fell down and laid on the ground struggling to breathe. Tamika's punch had winded him. It was only for a few seconds before

"Ah! Brian!" Michelle rushed over to him, helping him up.

*Cough*Cough*

The punch really shocked him, not only him though, but it also shocked Michelle. They couldn't have expected this old lady to have such strength. However, this also made her trust in Tamika grow. If people that strong were helping they might be able to create a peaceful future.

"Qui-Quickly run, get Marcus and get out of here, the military have the neighbourhood surrounded," Brian struggled to speak and gasped for air every few words.

Michelle quickly brought Brian over to the couch before setting him down, then rushed around the corner and through the house.

After a quick minute, she came around the corner carrying a small baby. He was crying at the sudden commotion, he was previously taking a nap before being rudely awakened by his mother.

*Screech*Screech*

The girls were familiar with those sounds a looked towards each other before nodding. Tamika walked over to Michelle, "Our rides are here, we need to get out soon".

"Alright, can we wait just a bit though, all the others are rushing over especially now that the military involved itself," Michelle said.

"Sure, but we can only wait for so long, message them to hurry," Tamika said before running out the front door. The other girls following along.

Michelle quickly whipped out her phone and message the others, before she went over and helped Brian out the door.

They were shocked by the appearance of two beasts in their front yard, especially since they gave off an intimidating aura, one that could crush someone.

Lachlan stared at the three, the one that caught his attention immediately was the child in the woman's arms. It had already developed unique features despite being so young, the child looked almost reptilian, with rough skin and already sharp teeth.

Lachlan knew the only way to find out more was to analyse it.

'What! People can breed with those things!' Lachlan shouted internally. He was shocked by the information, this brought upon a whole new discovery. There is a possibility of coexisting with the intelligent beasts, though this would be an even further future plan.

'Wait a minute' Lachlan thought back to more information. Why were the groups of intelligent beasts near the cities not attacking, they could have easily decimated it. However, if those intelligent beasts are beginning to like humans, then it makes complete sense as to why they haven't attack yet.

"Hurry up! We don't have much time!" Lachlan shouted at them.

"Wait just a little bit longer, others are going to join!" Michelle shouted back.

Lachlan was surprised they managed to get more so quickly. This certainly made things easier. It meant they didn't need to come back for a while.

A bunch of people carrying their children ran around the corners and up the street, it looked almost comical if Lachlan didn't know that the military was surrounding them with the intention to kill.

The people started to increase, and Lachlan soon realised that Catastrophe and Storm won't be enough to carry them all. He looked towards Simon and shouted, "We need to summon the rest of our beasts!"

"Alright!" Simon shouted back.

"Make room!" Simon and Lachlan both shouted to the people surrounding them.

The surrounding people were confused for a few seconds before they made room, moving to the outskirts of the yard.

Simon and Lachlan summoned the rest, people recoiled back in fear. This was the first time some of them had ever seen such a strong beast, let alone 7 of them. Some of the beasts were in awkward positions as there still wasn't enough room. Lachlan and Simon had the beasts go outside onto the road.

They got them to use their wings as ramps for the people and shouted at them to get on. They people rushed forward, trying to make sure they got a comfortable spot.

After a few minutes, everyone was finally on and they shot off. Unfortunately, due to there being so many of them the beasts couldn't fly off to fast otherwise they might fall off. They reached a comfortable height and were about to fly off before an explosion went off next to them.

Looking down Lachlan saw soldiers with rocket launchers aiming straight for them.

They fired, Lachlan froze for a second before deciding to try it out. He has strong elemental powers, he shouldn't let them go to waste.

He waved his hand, a burst of wind appeared from him smashing into the rocket, causing it to explode. The soldiers saw that but didn't fear it, rather they fired more because of it.

A few people riding the beasts got hit, nowhere vital, either in and arms or legs. Lachlan and Simon were thinking rapidly to create a solution, one that would protect them.

'I wonder if I can try that' Lachlan thought of something and held out his arms, palms opened wide.

"Haaaaaaa!" He began to yell, putting more and more focus into whatever he was trying to do. Because he was to busy focusing he got hit a couple of times, it seems they've changed weapons. The hits were stronger and actually did a bit of damage to him. The bullets only just pierced the skin, but it still brought upon a pain.

Lachlan didn't break focus, he still held out his arms, trying to envision his use of elemental powers.

The wind started to pick up pace, getting faster and faster and slowly encasing their group. Before long the wind was gathered together and was so strong that it became visible, blades of wind surrounded them, forming a sphere.

Soldiers shot rockets and bullets, but they couldn't breach the sphere. Rockets would explode upon impact and bullets would heavily change trajectory. Sometimes firing straight back at the soldiers.

Seeing what Lachlan was doing Simon joined along, he also got his tamed beasts to join as well. Increases the power behind the wind multiple times, to the point that bullets were being shredded once they hit the wind blades.

While doing this Lachlan and Simon ordered their beasts to start moving back towards the base, although they were protected, since this was the first time doing such a high-level control move, they couldn't hold it for long.

The beasts began to pick up the pace, flying over and out of the city. Before long the city was no longer in sight and Lachlan and Simon stopped the sphere. An overwhelming feeling of exhaustion encased their bodies.

They collapsed and fell asleep; their bodies being kept on the birds through the bird's wind control. They all flew off into the distance, some of the people that were hit got some help mid-air. Although they couldn't do much they could at least stop the bleeding.
