[QUOTE="talien, post: 4666717, member: 3285"] [b]Prince: Part 14c – Valiant’s Last Stand[/b] “Jim-Bean?” shouted Hammer into his cistron. “Jimmy?” Nothing but the blaring of the car horns and alarms greeted him. “This is Agent Hammer calling for backup!” he pulled Caprice out of the car. He was unconscious but alive. “Two agents down, repeat, two agents …” He trailed off as the rubble of the warehouse shifted. There was no way anyone could survive that. Jim-Bean stretched to a standing position, rubble sliding off the fading telekinetic force field. He made his way out of the rubble towards Hammer, the Spiritual Reservoir in his hands. Hammer limped over towards him, reloading his Glocks. “Look out!” he shouted. Jim-Bean turned. Valiant rose like a phoenix out of the rubble, but unlike Jim-Bean’s slow stretch he burst from the wreckage with a roar. Jim-Bean held up the Spiritual Reservoir. The soft glow sputtered. “It’s over, Valiant.” “No,” snarled Valiant, stalking towards him. “No!” He put one hand out, fingers outstretched in a choking motion. Nothing happened. “They’re all dead,” said Jim-Bean. “The power’s fading.” With the Reservoir in one hand, Jim-Bean pointed at the sparking cables that had been severed when the roof collapsed. With a flick of his finger, they snaked towards Valiant. But they didn’t connect, incapable of approaching Valiant within a few inches. Jim-Bean spun and hurled the Spiritual Reservoir down the street. It smashed into the pavement, shattering into several pieces from the impact. Valiant watched the electrical cables with disdain. “Great idea.” With a sneer, Valiant spread his outstretched fingertips and the sparking cables encircled Jim-Bean. He screamed as thousands of volts of electricity surged through him. Jim-Bean collapsed in a smoldering heap. Smoke curled from his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth. “It’s over Valiant!” shouted Hammer, both pistols trained on him. “It’s far from over.” Valiant crouched and then launched himself at Hammer, moving at impossible speed. Hammer got a glimpse of metal in his upraised fist. Hammer didn’t bother trying to track Valiant. He just sprayed the area in front of him with bullets. Valiant dodged most of them, but the ones that struck home were fatal. He fell in a bloody pile of perforated flesh at Hammer’s feet. Hammer leaned over Jim-Bean. “Jimmy?” Jim-Bean, his flesh burned in places where the electricity had surged out of his body, groaned. He was alive, but gravely wounded. “I need to find a new religion,” he wheezed. [/QUOTE]
