Panicked people was far enough to be safe, when the police forces and ambulances arrived to the festival grounds. Armed police officers pointed their guns to the girl covered in dark aura and the students of Heisen. The students rose their hands and shouted to the police to get back, but it was too late. The aura of the girl grew until it took the form resembling that of a spider, and from it, many limbs composed by Dunkel energy attacked the police officers. The high-condensed energy was able to cut their flesh and destroy their weapons, which were instead useless against the protective aura that surrounded the aggressor. Sam reacted launching at her another light sphere, which wasn’t strong enough to cause her any harm, though. “I’m contacting Heisen right now! I’ll ask for assistance!”, shouted Richard to his companions while getting farther from the enraged girl. Erik and Ste moved to the left of the girl, Gabriel stood before here, while David and Sam moved to her right. Behind the girl, the paramedic team assisted the police officers previously wounded, while other policemen stood at a certain distance, pointing again their guns towards the dangerous girl.

- Now that you’re surrounded it’s better for you to surrender, girl! – shouted Erik – There’s no point in fighting now!

- Shut up! – she screamed – You cannot understand… I have to get my revenge… AND I WILL!

Without thinking twice, the girl attacked Erik, the long spider-like legs made of shadows directed towards him. Ste deflected the attack, protecting Erik from being hit. At the same time, David and Gabriel charged towards the girl, both covered in a less dense dark aura. The girl, noticing the threat, had no problems to repel the attack, making both Gabriel and David to fall many meters away. After concentrating enough energy, Sam launched another quick ball, using the technique of a baseball pitcher. The girl had more difficulties to repel this attack, but in the end, it wasn’t enough to cause her any harm. Meanwhile, Richard finally made contact with Heisen.

- What is the matter, young Armburst? – asked Miss Wittich, sitting in her desk as Richard could see through the holographic screen, coming out from his Wristphone.

- It’s an emergency! We’re under attack! – said Richard, a little agitated – We are in the area of the old industrial area, at the ‘Warring Music Festival’!

- I have confirmed as well from the police the actual situation – notified Wittich to Richard - We’ll soon send reinforcements. Please, wait there and assist the police as long as possible until your assistance arrives!

- Thank you, I’ll say that to the others!

Richard approached again the area in which his companions were fighting the girl. He saw how Ste, Gabriel and Dave engaged the girl in a physical combat, but unable to handle the constant attacks from the many shadow libs of hers. In the back, Sam continuously launched energy balls, while Erik tried throwing at her any kind of trash lying on the ground to distract her.

- Aid from Heisen will arrive soon! – shouted Richard to everybody else – We have to resist until then!

- I hope they’re here soon really quickly – commented Erik, as he got near to Richard – Without our weapons, is risky for us to use our powers, besides those three. Dammit! I feel so useless right now…

- Me too – replied Richard – But to be honest, this is the first time for me being caught in a situation like this. I’m… not quite ready for the battlefield. I feel like running the hell out of it!

- Don’t feel bad for that, fighting is not for everyone, after all – said Erik, putting a hand on his friend’s shoulder – Even if you decide to not fight in the first lines, I’m sure you’ll be able to help us in other ways.

- Yeah… that’s why I’m here, after all – said Richard – I… want to be of some use!

- For now, I guess we have to leave it to Ste and the others – said Erik, looking at his fighting companions.

- Fuck this! I’m going to give it a try! – said Richard, shaking off his friend’s hand.

- Ricky, wait! – shouted Erik, not able to catch his friend as he rushed near to the battle.

“Dave and the others are trying their best”, thought Ricky. “There’s no way I’m waiting here to be rescue, like some stupid princess of a fairy tale!” Ricky approached the girl by her back, then waited his friends were far enough from her. Then, he shouted. A high pitched scream that could tear anybody ears in pieces echoed in the whole zone. Ricky directed the vocal waves, charged with Dunkel energy towards the girl, waves clearly visible because the use of such energy force. The waves stroke her, making her fell into her knees, while covering her ears with both hands. Even her aura seemed to flicker during the attack. Ricky thought to have the upper hand, even if it was clear his scream was also hurting to a certain degree everyone else. But soon his cream was hushed: a shadow limb from the girl’s aura stretched enough to reach Ricky, cutting him from below to above, opening a long wound on his chest. “RICKY!”, shouted all of his classmates, Erik and Sam rushing to take him away from there, Gabriel, Ste and David engaging battle against the girl.

- Ricky, are you ok?! – said Erik, holding Ricky’s head from the ground.

- He lost consciousness, but seems fine – said Sam, looking at his fallen friend – Help me take him to the ambulance right there!

Erik and Sam carried his friend, then receiving assistance from the paramedics present in the place. The police could just help everyone to evacuate the site, while watching how a couple of teenagers had to engage battle. They, in their hearts, felt ashamed for not being able to stop such threat. In that moment, a young woman crossed the line delimitated by the police to avoid civils to get near to the danger zone. As police officers approached her to take her away, she silently just showed her badge: she was an important member of the Special Defense Department of Heisen. At the sight of the badge, the police officers greeted her the military way, then guided her to the place where the students of Heisen were fighting. As Sam was assisting the paramedics to medicate Ricky, Erik instead witnessed the arrival of their support: a young woman, shorter than the average German woman, with tanned skin and short brown hair. In the right hand, she was carrying an apparently heavy bag with the shopping she was doing until few moments before receiving the emergency call. She wasn’t wearing any kind of equipment or uniform: just a light jacket, jeans and boots. “Is this our reinforcements? Only this girl?!”, asked Erik to himself, trying to hide his surprise when the woman approached him.

- You’re Rivolta… Erik, right? – she asked, looking at the boy with bored eyes.

- Y-yes ma’am! – answer Erik, greeting her superior a little tense.

- That dark aura over there that seems like a spider… is she the target? – asked again the woman.

- Yes ma’am! – replied Erik, still tense for the gaze the woman before him was giving him.

- Got it. Take this while I’m there.

The woman gave the shopping bag to Erik, then turned towards her ‘target’ with a slow and confident peace. “What the hell?!”, thought Erik, trying to keep the heavy bag with both arms form touching the ground. “This is damn heavy!” In the end, he just let the bag go. It was too heavy for him.
