If I have to get beaten by him every time I try to defend the Safe House...
Then so be it!
- Blyke
This is the 211th chapter of unORDINARY.
Synopsis[]
John is clearly not happy to see Blyke poking his nose into matters of the King again. He charges up his copied beams and launches himself towards the room again to beat up Blyke again. Not wanting him back inside, Blyke uses another big pulse to ground John again. John tries a different approach, and charges up an enormous beam. Horrified at this madness, Blyke does the same. Their beams connect explosively, resulting in an enormous cloud of smoke. Blyke realizes John's stronger blasts are a danger to the other members of Safe House, so he leaps down to draw all fire. Though he is obscured by the smoke, his ability usage gives him away to John. The beam is dodged, and the follow up attack is withstood with to a quick shift to defense. As soon as Blyke lands, John shifts to offense and rushes in and punches him in the stomach. Blyke is knocked back and in bad shape, but he still stands.
Isen is walking down the hall when he looks out the window and sees the fight underway. What's more, he realizes the danger Safe House is in.
Back in the room, Seraphina gazes outside for a moment longer before rolling up her jacket sleeve and reapproaching Alden. Zeke once more pins the unconscious student and warns Seraphina about defying John again. Seraphina tells Zeke she doesn't care what John's mandate was. Annoyed that the fallen queen continued to disrespect him, Zeke reminds her that without power or John's favor, she was nothing. He then kicks her in order to shut her up. She gets knocked into Evie and The Gossip Trio. Seraphina remains defiant and angry, and tells Zeke to get out. Zeke dares her to make him. Seraphina advances despite her injuries, but Evie and the trio steps ahead of her and echo her demands. Zeke barely has time to express surprise at the gall Seraphina inspired in them when he's hit in the head with a thrown chair. He turns to see that it was Talia who beaned him, also demanding he get lost. Zeke retaliates by knocking her unconscious with one punch. Realizing that nobody in the room intends to pay him the respect he believes he is due, Zeke concludes that he'll have to teach each and every one of them a painful lesson.
Back outside, John mocks Blyke always trying and failing to stop him. Blyke internalizes some thoughts. He hates John more than he's ever hated anything in his life. But he refused to take the amplifiers back in the bathroom, remembering every criminal who used it as well. Beating a jackass who lashed out at everybody and abused his only friend was just not worth the risk of losing himself to a power trip. Blyke decided the getting beaten to a pulp every time he defended the Safe House from John was a sacrifice he was willing to make. With blinding speed, John propelled himself towards Blyke with beams from each hand. In the nick of time, Blyke generated a full-body pulse that flung John backwards. Blyke tried to follow up with a huge beam of energy, but John nimbly dodged it it midair. Upon landing, John ran forward and fired another beam. Blyke dodged the shot only to wind up in the path of John's flying knee. As Blyke was sent hurtling towards a wall, the vial of amplfier slipped out of his pocket unnoticed by either combatant.
Back in the Safe House, the club members find themselves hopelessly outmatched by Zeke. He holds up the battered Seraphina by the throat. He boasts how easily he trounced them even without John around. Suddenly, the door to the club swings open and Zeke finds himself in the intruder's sights. After getting hit in the head with an empty can, Zeke is socked in the face by a furious Isen. Irate that Zeke would show up after the leaders who kicked him out weren't present, Isen orders Zeke to get out. Unwilling to simply give into the demands of John's enemies, Zeke took a swing at Isen. The ex-reporter dodged, and pinned the 'godslayer' against the wall by his face. He gave him one last chance to walk out peacefully. Zeke wisely took it, and slammed the door behind him. As the others set about gathering the injured students for treatment at the infirmary, Isen headed over to the hole in the wall to take a look outside. He is horrified by the psychotic handiwork of the King. Seraphina takes a look for herself, and sees Blyke lying unconscious at John's feet. John picks him up with clear intentions to keep attacking after the fight was already won, as is typical of him. Seraphina watches with full awareness that this cannot continue. John's behavior was destroying himself as well as everything around him. He needed to be stopped.
