nMako waited for another half an hour before Jacob voiced through the communication device that they were ready and that the guards were dealt with and the prisoners were ready in the basement.

n“It’s time,” Mako said as he took out a small button from his pocket.

n*PEEP!*

nThere were a couple of seconds of silence until…

n*BOOM!* *BOOM!*

nExplosions resounded at both gates of the warehouse. The guards near them were instantly knocked out while the ones that were outside were confused about the sudden sound and the ground shaking. They instantly realized this to be some sort of attack and that the guards inside may need backup to control the prisoners and stop them from escaping.

nThe guards inside were trying to collect themselves after being severely discombobulated from being very near to the blast. The guards in the lounge and those in an elevated position or the basement were the least affected and the quickest to react.

n“UH! My ears keep ringing! What in the world just happened!!” Alec shouted as he held his two ears tightly with his hands as the blast had affected him quite a bit.

nWhile on the outside, the patrol guards rushed towards the gate to put out the fire from the explosion and enter the warehouse to provide support. However, before they could be successful, Mako conjured two big fireballs in his hands and aimed at the gate on the outer wall.

nThe gate wasn’t as strong as the main gates of the warehouse and was easily blasted apart. As soon as the smoke cleared, four men came through rushing through the gate with the strongest attacks from their respective abilities locked and loaded.

nOne had a massive lightning bolt in his hands while the other had conjured a whip made of water, and the other two had enveloped their hands in flames as they were ready to punch everybody down.

nThe guards on the exit side of the warehouse couldn’t find a way in as the debris had blocked their path completely while on the entrance side, the guards were busy trying to put out the fire so that they could enter the warehouse but they were in for quite a surprise instead.

nWith the explosions going off in the building, everyone expected that the culprit responsible must also be inside and doing whatever they wanted to do so they didn’t expect a surprise attack of five people from behind.

nDue to this, they were caught off guard and knocked out by Mako and the other four members who had been camping outside the warehouse, ready to pounce once they were given the green light.

nA few minutes later, the warehouse’s entrance looked like a battlefield with knocked-out bodies lying all over and small craters formed from stray abilities hitting the ground. Mako and the other guys had dealt with the guards and quickly secured the area to make sure that this area was safe for when the prisoners came through to escape.

nMako instructed the four guys to hold their position and deal with any more guards that might appear while he ran through the blasted steel door that was the entrance to make sure that the other guys and the prisoners were safe and ready to leave.

n*************

n*BOOM!*

nAs soon as the sound of the explosion hit the basement, Jacob and the remaining prisoners started rushing towards the stairs and leaving the basement.

nIt took Alec a couple of moments to get his senses back in order as till then, the first prisoners had made it to the gate where the four guys were guarding, and ran through the burnt outer gate towards freedom.

nHowever, some of them didn’t leave immediately, as they joined together with the four-man squad to stay and guard this position until each and every one of them had escaped.

nMako ran through the upcoming crowd as he quickly made his way back to Jacob and the others who were at the end of the prisoner’s group.

n“Boss!? Boss! The prisoners are escaping!” A man shouted near Alec’s ears and that seemed to have brought him back.

nAlec quickly assessed the situation and realized the severity of it. He quickly ordered the men with stronger abilities to head toward the gate and try to cut off the prisoners while he told the rest of them to inform all the guards about the location of the escape route and to get weapons and gear from the armory and meet up with them afterward.

nWith that said, Alec rushed with the stronger ability users towards the entrance hoping to keep as many prisoners detained as possible or else he would face the wrath of El-Diablo himself which he want to avoid at any cost.

nThe last of the prisoners had made it out of the basement and were escorted back by Mako, Jacob, and the others. They could hear faint fighting noises up ahead and it was most probably because of some of the guards that were near the gate trying to stop the prisoners from escaping.

nThey had made it halfway through and could see the gate up ahead when out of nowhere several guards jumped out from what looked like thin air and cut them off.

nThe remaining prisoners didn’t stop as they were instructed by Jacob to just keep on running and don’t stop until they had escaped no matter what.

nMako, Jacob, the two other guys, Kiesha, and 5 more people were cut off and now surrounded by a total of 10 guards.

nAll of them quickly took back-to-back formations with Mako and Jacob watching each other back. The two groups were in a stalemate with neither one making a move.

nSuddenly, a faint sound of clapping started to resound in the area that slowly became louder as another figure emerged from the smoke.

n*clap!* *Clap!* CLAP!*

n“Bravo! Just Bravo! The infamous demon man strikes again, but this time the results will be a lot different.” Alec appeared from the smoke while clapping and keeping a huge smile on his face.

nOnce Mako had initiated the first attack, he took out his Oni mask from his inventory to hide his identity, just in case he was spotted by any witness or recorded on any camera. El Diablo knew of Mako’s existence, but so far he hadn’t made moves against him which would mean that punishing Bill might have made up for that loss. He didn’t want to be added to EL Diablo’s hitlist just yet, which is why he decided to wear the mask. 𝗼𝐯𝐞𝐥．𝐜𝐨𝗺

n“I have got to hand it to you, you know. You executed this little plan of yours so perfectly, that even I didn’t manage to catch on in time. I thought that I was a goner, I thought the big boss was gonna gut me and feed me to his dogs, but here you come along… right into my lap.” Alec said while still smiling like a little girl who just got handed the biggest bowl of ice cream.

n“Heh! What makes you think you won?” Mako said through his demon mask making sure that his voice became heavy and unrecognizable to that of a teenage boy.

n“Oh, please… You really think you can take me and my best men, with that filth on your side?” Alec said while laughing hysterically and now even the rest of the guards joined in as they all laughed together.

nMako didn’t say a word but just turned around towards Jacob and nodded. Jacob understood what Mako was suggesting in an instant and turned to look at Alec himself.

nAlec still couldn’t understand what they were doing. To him, they were just caged birds helplessly trying to find a gap to escape. Suddenly, Jacob pulled out two balls of smoke from his pouch near his waist.

n“This is for my daughter!” Jacob said as his eyes began tearing up a bit and a smile appeared on his face.

nJacob smashed the two smoke bombs against the ground and a cloud of smoke erupted and covered all of them. It was completely blinding as nobody could see anyone and they were walking in blindly, trying to stop them from escaping.

nDash has been activated

nElectrical Discharge has been activated

nA sudden wave of electricity burst out from within the smoke, once Mako had sensed that all his allies had escaped using the cover of the smoke. The guards who were closing in on Mako’s position suddenly felt od jolt of lightning course through them as their joints locked up and muscles became strict.

nA pair of red glowing eyes appeared in front of Alec’s vision as he witnessed for the first time what true horror felt like. With his body paralyzed, and Mako making his way toward him with his glowing red eyes that were part of the mask, it was safe to say that Alec had peed his pants.

n**********

n“Make sure you make those bastards pay, for what they did to my daughter,” Jacob said as he ran alongside Mako up the flight of stairs and to the ground level.

nMako had instructed Jacob to use two of the smoke bombs to create a diversion if they were to get caught and run while leaving him to do the cleaning up.

nJacob was at first against the idea and wanted to give Alec a real massive serving of pain and suffering for what he put his daughter through, Mako made the case that he had to protect his daughter and others and get them to safety.

nIn the end, Jacob caved in but not before making Mako promise that if they were to encounter Alec, he wasn’t going to show any mercy.

n***********

nUsing the wind ability, Jacob was able to easily guide everyone out to safety without alerting any of the guards as he manipulated the smoke in such a way that it mislead the guards in the wrong direction.

nCurrently, all eleven of them were stuck in place with two red glowing eyes quickly approaching Alec.
