It took Erik few seconds to reach the place where the explosion happened: a building of about twelve floors was burning, people running everywhere, trying to get far from the fire, others trying to escape the flames inside the building. Erik shortly noticed that only one person was still, looking at the building. “He must be the responsible!”, he thought. His doubts didn’t last for long, as the person suddenly was surrounded by a dark aura. “Dunkel  energy! Is he trying to destroy that building?!” Erik saw the person preparing another attack, then as fast as he could, he landed between the building and the criminal.

- Stop right there! – Erik shouted, but it was too late.

The young skater had the time only to put his skate before him like a shield to deflect the dark beam of energy that was shot at him. The blast was so powerful that Erik was threw away many meters, landing not far from the building, while his skateboard landed far from him. In that moment, Sam, Ste and Vas arrived, and the scene they watched made them worried.

- Erik! – Sam shouted, rushing towards the fallen friend.

- Dammit! What happened?! – Ste was still trying to understand the situation.

- Ste, Sam! Look there! – Vas pointed to the person that previously attacked Erik, still standing before the building with his dark aura – I bet it was that bastard the responsible!

The three students of Heisen took a better look of the individual: it seemed the criminal was a male, hiding his head inside a peluche’s lamb head.

- Who the hell are you?! – shouted Ste with his strong voice.

- … - the person with the lamb’s head didn’t answered. Instead, they began to make slow steps backwards.

- You’re not going anywhere!

Ste hit the ground, crushing the street and creating cracks all over the place. Some of those made the mysterious criminal to lose his balance for a second. He recovered soon, and then counterattacked with another dark beam. Ste took a fighting stance and, with a powerful jab charged with his own Licht energy, he was able to create a counter wave that nullified the enemy’s Dunkel energy. The impact echoed through the whole street, shaking the windows of the near buildings. Vas found an opening, then from afar used his power to concentrate his Dunkel energy to materialize two daggers, which he promptly threw at the enemy. In a rapid succession of movements, Vas repeated this attack until eight daggers flew towards the enemy. The daggers lost their solid consistence and returned to be pure energy halfway, finally reaching their target. Thought the result was nothing Vas expected. “He absorbed it!”, shout Ste surprised to see the criminal unharmed. His dark aura was so dense it absorbed Vas’ attack. Now, the aura grew even more thanks to the absorbed energy.

- This is going to be a pain in the ass – said Vas – Apparently long ranged attacks doesn’t work with him. Ste, I count on you to cover me!

- Yeah, leave it to me!

Ste rushed forward right towards the criminal, Vas behind him preparing another weapon. This time, Vas modeled and held two sabers. The criminal with the stuffed animal head shot again a dark beam. Like before, Ste concentrated his energy to deflect the dark energy with a powerful punch. This time, though, instead of being nullified, the beam was deflected, hitting the ground some meters in front of Ste. At that point, Vas jumped high, over the criminal. Ready to cut with his sabers his target, he descended. However, this move proved to be a bad choice, as the criminal was able to repel Vas using his dark aura. The criminal screamed, like he was in pain, holding his head under the mask with both hands. Vas was able to fall in a safe way, his swords disappearing into the air.

- Dammit! I thought I got him! - Vas though, rearising from the floor.

- Vas, move out! – shouted Sam, many meters behind Vas, was holding an energy sphere in his right hand. It was white and shining brightly - Take this!

Sam threw the sphere of concentrated energy in the same way a baseball player would throw a ball. Indeed, Sam technique derived from his practice and like for the American sport. The ball flew at high speed, and effectively hit the criminal at his right arm. He fell to the floor, his dark aura disappearing from sight.

- Nice shoot, man! –said Ste, closing distance with Sam – Where’s Erik?!

- He’s fine, I left him at a convenience store, far from the fire. The sound of sirens are getting closer, so police and ambulances are going to be here soon.

- Yeah, now it’s time to take down this weird guy! – affirmed Ste, looking at the criminal with the stuffed animal head as he rose from the floor.

- You’re not going anywhere! –Vas declared, rushing towards the criminal.

Vas wasn’t able to reach the individual, as an ambulance vehicle cut his way when arriving to the place of the incident. Stopping in time to avoid being hit by the vehicle, Vas cursed first the driver of the ambulance, then the weird criminal as he ran away from the scene. The bold student of Heisen ran away, pursuing the mysterious man. In the meanwhile, Sam picked up Erik, and helped him to walk towards one of the ambulances. Ste, instead, dealt with the police, giving a brief description of what it happened.
