- Damn it, I missed him! – cursed one of the four criminals.
- Keep shooting until you got him! – ordered the leader of the group – I need to concentrate on driving! And you! Better keep that shield up, got it?!
- Yeah, I know! – said the third one, which was sat with his eyes closed, concentrating to hold up an invisible light shield to protect the vehicle from being hit.
- Hey, Carl! Give me a hand to take down that flying guy! – said the first criminal.
- Ok, I’ll try! – said the one named Carl.
More flashing energy beams came out from the vehicle aimed at Erik, who was always too fast for them. Finding a good opportunity, Erik increased his speed and quickly approached the criminals. “Now it’s my chance!”, thought Erik as he was close enough to touch the vehicle. He tried to canalize his energy through his right arm to form a blade of light to cut one of the wheels, a technique he haven’t mastered yet. Somehow, he was able to create a dim aura around his arm and, thinking it would be enough, he tried to hit the wheel. Instead, he hit the light and invisible shield around the vehicle, which made him lost his balance for some seconds. Enough to increase again the distance between him and the fugitives, which continued then their aggressive attack. Erik didn’t have difficulties to avoid each attack, but now each time he dodged, the beam of energy hit the street behind him, sometimes hitting also cars in movement. “Damn it! I need to stop them quickly!” Erik noticing the destruction behind him, rose again over the vehicle, so the beams would at least be casted afar from innocent people. “With that shield, I can’t hit them. Uhm… Oh, I got an idea!” Erik increased his speed, easily surpassing the fugitives.
- Where is that annoying kid? – said the aggressive criminal.
- I-I don’t know! He was up there a moment ago! – said the one called Carl.
- What do you mean you lost him?! – shouted the leader.
- Mark, look out! – called out the one holding the barrier.
- What the f-
In front of the vehicle, Erik was approaching at high speed, aiming directly at it. The driver at the last minute was able to avoid the direct hit, but the violent movement made the vehicle to flip over, making an abrupt stop. The other drivers were able to stop before creating a worst incident, leaving a wide space between them and the vehicle from where the four criminals came out, with just minor wounds. Seconds later, Erik descended between the criminals and the people that was getting out from their vehicles to see what was happening.
- All of you, stay back! These people are dangerous! – warned Erik to the curious people behind him, fixing his eyes on the four criminals. Then, he addressed to them – And you all! You’re under arrest! So be quite right there until the others arrive or it will be worst for you!
- Tsk! Are you stupid or what? – said the criminal’s leader, Mark – Carl! Go with Klaus and take one of those cars behind the kid. Adolar and I will cover you. Quick! Before the real police gets here!
- And you think I’ll let you do that?! – said Erik, confident he would be successful on his mission - You have to-
- Get out the way! – Mark, without waiting any kind of cliché sentence, fired from his hands Dunkel energy towards Erik.
The assault began, and while two of the criminals moved towards the crowd, making it flew away from the place, the other two launched attack after attack against Erik, who was able only to block each hit with his especial skateboard. Thanks to it, he was able to create a shield that protected him from the enemies’ attacks. He would prefer to avoid the hits, fly towards the enemy and take them down, but the presence of so many people didn’t allow him to carry out such plan. Being held down by the constant attacks from the criminals, Erik couldn’t prevent the other two from taking another car. They jumped on it and moved towards their companions, which were able to ride as well without problems. “Wait!”, shouted Erik as he watched the criminals escaping again. He was about to jump on his skate again, but that wasn’t necessary, as the car itself didn’t go too far. It was necessary only a punch from Stephan to nail down the car they stole. Taking another way to reach the place, the vehicle of the special police forces arrived in time to stop another escape. Now, all the police officers were pointing their pistols to the criminals, which were surrounded immediately. Without opposing further resistance, the four thieves surrender, giving back the millions of euros previously stolen. As the men from Heisen took away the criminals, the police arrived as well to take care of the confusing the chasing produced.
- It seems you were the only one to have fun this time, eh? – joked Samuel with Erik.
- That was too boring, indeed! – lamented Stephan.
- At least you have the chance to do something! – commented Samuel.
- Well, at least you both got the chance to skip classes this time, so is not that bad, right? – said Erik with a smile – I was thinking how cool would be going outside to skate for a while, after all, haha!
- Well, your dreams just came true, then! – said Stephan, surrounding Erik’s neck with his arm – Well, after we get back to Heisen I’d say to hit the skate park until late!
- I’m totally in! – agreed Erik full of enthusiasm.
