Chapter 11: Human Bad Guys
I flew through the air, but this time I was able to get a better look at the area I was heading to, which was the university campus where Katie was. There was a good crowd of people gathered out front of the dorms, but I smashed into the ground just before them.
My face destroyed five sidewalk pads before I came to a complete stop and was able to get up. The gathering of people had dispersed, but now we are coming back to see me again.
"Are you like that other guy?! That destroyed the city?!" One man asked.
"Are you like some kind of retarded alien?!" Another asked, but this one didn't look that bright.
It was obvious that none of them were particularly smart-looking and all had a rougher appearance. It was easy to see tattoos and gold chains sticking out even in the winter gear, and that made me wonder.
"What are you guys planning to do here?" I asked, knowing this was the female's side of the dorms.
"We just wanted to come and invite the lady to come and join us!" Another male shouted from the group, and my eyes narrowed.
"Oh, and where might that be? I have been looking for a place that might be warm," I asked, and the crowd went quiet.
[Targeting Plant-type: Grass]
My senses spread out, and grass started to slowly creep up through the cracks in the pavement sidewalks, along with the grass all around. These people were the types of people I was hoping would have been taken out, but nothing is ever that easy.
"We don't need any freaks like you! Come on, boys! Let's teach this fucking loser," The man up front started to say, but suddenly the grass surged up.
Men started to scream and yell as they were ripped down onto the cold pavement. The snow had started to melt where the grass surged up from, which I found interesting.
Once everyone was strapped down securely, I started to walk over them towards the front entrance to the girl's dorms. I took no care to watch my footing as I did, stepping on people's faces.
This ragtag group was here for girls, and I didn't need to ask them what they planned on doing with them. Humans had always made me sick in this regard, and if I found out that was what they were doing, I would not be picking between options.
"Once I am finished here, you will all be taking me to this place you were talking about. Don't go anywhere till I get back," I said without looking down at the struggling idiots.
I was going to have to decide what I was going to do about people like this going forward in the future. I didn't have the patience to lock people up, but I didn't know if I could just outright kill them.
In the end, it might be for the best since a dead snake couldn't bite you, and these were all scumbags that would probably turn on each other. They could stay here and think about their life choices until I got back or had made a decision; I could always kill them at range.
[I like your thinking. Just remember that hero is a made-up human word, and you don't need to follow that mantra. I would prefer it if you made mistakes and broke a carton of eggs every now and then. You know, spice things up!]
That was a good point, but I wasn't going to start making unwise choices. Killing everything that I saw as wrong without understanding was almost as bad as these guys, and I wasn't that kind of guy.
I looked ahead to the double door and glass that had lined the entrance, but it was all broken. There was a large barricade blocking all the entries, and as I got closer, I could hear sounds of crying coming from the other side.
"Girls, I don't know if you know me, but my name is Daniel Brighton. I took care of the men out front, but I am here for Katie Brindle. I can also help you all get to safety where it is warm," I called out as I got closer.
"Daniel?! Is that really you?!" I heard Katie's voice call from the other side.
"Yes, I am here to save you, and I guess the rest of the people here. Do you mind if I come in?" I asked as I reached the broken door.
"Please, but you will have to wait until we move some things," Katie called.
"Just move everyone back from the entrance, and I will make my way in," I called, and I could hear everyone moving back.
As they did, I sent the grass in to pull the stacked furniture apart to create a path for me to enter through. Once I made it to the other side, an auburn haired girl with twin buns on her head rushed over to wrap her arms around me.
"Thank you for coming, Daniel! We all thought that we were either going to be taken, starve or freeze to death!" Katie cried into my chest, and I wrapped my arms around her.
I looked around, and the entry area to the dorms was filled with scared looking faces. This was happening all over the city, and I needed to find more ways to combat this faster.
"Listen, everyone. I know that you are all scared, but I need you to get everyone ready to move. I have created a large tree that can hold up to forty thousand people, and you will be warm and safe there. I am sure that you all have many questions, but you are going to have to save them," I explained to everyone, and a seed of hope seemed to start spreading among them.
I just needed to get these girls on their way, and then make my way to get Melody. Then I would have to play super hero it seemed and deal with the normal bad guys.
[That's the spirit! Bring on the entertainment!]
