Kharon Part 35

Kharon Chapter 35

        Meanwhile Simone and Luke are fighting Sloons together on a rooftop.  Luke becomes frozen in place by the magic of a Sloon.  A knife flies through the air and stabs the Sloon releasing Luke.  

        But then two shiny pendants are thrown through the air and attach to Luke and Simone.  They both fall to their knees as they glow.  A Sloon holding a crystal glowing the same color as the pendants approaches Simone and Luke smiling.  “Now I’ve got you.”  Just as he finishes saying this he is electrocuted and the crystal falls out of his hand as he collapses to the ground.  Simone and Luke rip the pendants of themselves and look up to see what happened. 

       Jacob approaches them smiling holding Luke’s recently fired electric-snake-gun.  In his other hand he holds the hilt of Simone’s fire sword as well as his wind tunnel weapon.  He tosses Luke and Simone their respective weapons.  “Looky what I found.”  Explosions and screams are then heard and the threesome turn towards the direction they came from.  Their eyes grow wide with surprise as the sight of the Kharon barreling up the canal.  

        “I think our ride is here.”

        The trio make their way to the Kharon but just as they are about to reach it three sorceresses appear in their path blocking their way.  Each sorceress holds a different arcane magical weapon.  Simone who still has stolen vials of oil on her takes the vials and flings them to the ground smashing them.  “Jacob fire your weapon.”  As Simone says this she takes out the hilt of her fire sword and ignites it.  She uses the weapon to light the oil on fire.  Jacob’s gun then blows the fiery mist from the oil onto the sorceresses but it also blows the fiery mist towards a building behind the sorceresses marked oil refinery.  

      Luke upon seeing this yells, “Take cover everyone!”  The trio duck out of the way as the refinery explodes.  They watch as the explosion sets off a chain reaction and like dominos falling buildings all along the strip as the entire city block goes up in flames.  

      Simone shakes her head.  “Told you they like their oil and crystals here.”
