《After Life》Chapter 23.7: Blitzkrieg
Advertisement
Cain interjects aggressively, “You think I’ll let your pitiful group protect anyone? You have to deal with me first!” With the clap of his hands a powerful gust of wind rushes in from two directions smashing the group together. Shado effortlessly dodges the attack, quickly teleporting the nomads back to the group. Everyone else is left slightly stunned, stumbling to ready themselves for the arrival of the hunters.
The horror of the situation finally kicks in causing cries from the NGP members to escalate. The Blood Hunters are ravaging everyone, not just those who opposed Death. They are attacking, slashing, and dragging indiscriminately including Death’s gang of ogres. Those with combat oriented abilities are able to hold their own but they are left trying to defend some of the humans, or those with lesser powers. Just by the sheer numbers, the NGP is hastily being overwhelmed.
Cain whispers into his hands then physically pushes the words forward. Carried by the wind, the words transmit to everyone, “Give up… Let them take you… Let them upgrade you…”
The words have a powerful effect draining the fight out of everyone. Death takes this opportunity to use Rush’s ability, speedily retreating to the human bunker. Cole alone is able to shake off Cain’s words.
It’s like Cain is a wizard! He’s using the wind to throw his voice! If he can do it, I can too!
Cole follows suit speaking into his hands before blasting the words across the battle, “Don’t listen to Cain! Fight for your lives! Fight Death! Fight Cain! Fight those creatures! Head for the human bunker! Protect each other, give it your all!”
The words have an instant energizing effect. One moment they were falling to the ground accepting their fate, the next turning into a collective raging fire. Raw spirit energy fills the air making it dense. Cole feels as though the air has turned as thick as water.

Cain scoffs, “I’m impressed Cole. It seems you know how to use your voice. At least to some degree, but that won’t be enough to save you!”
Dimitri, I need your strength!
Instinctively, Cain and Cole both ignite potent tornado filled punches. The swirling air clashes locking in place. Electricity saturates the air causing dispersed sparkles to illuminate the area. Cole’s attention is stolen by a particularly powerful Blood Hunter who is literally washing over the battle like a wave. His water attacks wiping through both NGP and Blood Hunters alike.
Rush cries, “That’s Gemming! That’s his water ability! What happened to him!?”
Cain sends another verbal attack weakening Rush, “That’s what’s going to happen to you because you’re too slow.”
Cole spots a Blood Hunter sneakily using the distraction to lunge at Rush from behind. He launches a powerful windblade but Cain quickly counters, initiating a barrage of wind blades of his own. This causes the hunter to turn his attention to Cole. It positions itself behind Cole before lunging for an attack.
I can’t defend attacks from both of them!
Before the hunter could make it to Cole, it was swiftly killed by impalement of a very large sword. Broin slices the body in two before saying, “You didn’t think that I’d miss out on a battle did you? I have a quota to fill.”
“Broin!? Thanks!”
“You keep your focus on Cain. We’ll keep the small ones off you.”
Cole is stuck watching the battle completely derail, finding himself locked into a heated battle of words. It’s all he can do to keep Cain’s wind powered verbal attacks at bay. With each of Gemming’s mighty water attacks it demonstrates how incredibly powerful an Ultra Blood Hunter is compared to the first generation. Each wave crashing over dozens of NGP members, making for perfect crowd control.

Shado calls to Arch, “We’re losing! What are we supposed to do?!”
Arch takes a sigh before replying, “You’re not going to like it, but it’s time. We need him here. There’s no other way.”
“Who?”
“Sariph.”
“What?! Have you completely lost it?!”
“Totally, but it's all part of the plan. Summon the demon!”
Shado shakes his head disapprovingly as he falls backwards into the shadow realm.

Transposition
Please note: the Sexual Content tag is there due to a single brief plot-relevant scene, which has a warning at the beginning. For other details, read the full description below. Rating breakdown, since that should be public info: 5 x 5*, 2 x 4.5*, 1 x 0.5* During a blackout, a frail and ragged old woman stops to ask for a glass of water from a backyard barbecue party. Given a good supper instead, she looks around the group, and tells them, "Be who and what you truly are." Days later, seven of the people from the barbecue find themselves drawn into a trap laid by a pair of wizards and their accomplices, who kidnap them into a bubble reality. All seven, who have known each other all their lives, are informed that they are not in fact entirely human: they have active fae blood, due to a series of conditions culminating with the blessing of the elderly fae woman. The transformation into fae form comes as a shock: all seven, whether originally female or male, find themselves now unreasonably beautiful women. More urgent even than that, though, is their captivity. Getting back to the real world is a higher priority than this metamorphosis that rapidly begins to feel natural... but this is only the first step, as the diverse types of fae blood they carry begin to surface. With no resources except themselves, how can they escape this prison? If they succeed, how can they possibly reclaim their lives? Just how many other faelings have been kidnapped, anyway, and what happened to them? And is there a way to make sure that their captors never put anyone else through this? Back in the real world, Kayla, who learned long ago to trust her gut instincts, is absolutely certain that something is very wrong. The pattern in the list of missing friends is easy to spot, but makes no sense at all. Then a young woman turns up at the backyard gate who knows more than she should, and even though her explanation makes even less sense, every instinct tells Kayla that Riley is her only way to get them back. If they're not quite what they were, well, that's a bridge to cross later... Just a little note: I'm a big believer in endings that are upbeat but not candy-coated, and not a fan of grim-and-gritty or of glamorized violence. These are adults in a difficult situation. However, no one gets raped, and the physical violence is, all things considered, fairly minimal. There is some harassment, sexual and otherwise, and also some mild restraint and mild verbal abuse. Complicating factors are generally wizardly or fae in nature. If I need to warn you about gender in this being all over the map, some of it reality-based rather than fantasy-based, highly diverse sexuality, or that there is (especially later) some indirect fetish/BDSM imagery and honest character discussion, then you probably should just avoid everything I write. :-) Also available on Scribble Hub.
