Snippet #1577060

At the last second, the Fang jumped in the way of the bolt. Peculiar. Not like them to help out Thorns. Psycho ran over to his body as Katie started attacking him. The electricity was pointless; Taser was immune to anyone else’s electric attacks as much as his own. But the water annoyed him, obscuring his vision. He tried electrifying it and turning it on her, but before he could the ground in front of him blew up. Taser was knocked off his feet, but the smoke obscured him long enough to stand up again. Pain ran through his back, but it all felt beneath him, as if he was too powerful to feel it. He started an evil stare at the Thorns in front of him, and charged his arms, raising them into the air.

And the lightning struck him again. This time, with much more force. He was sent flying 10 feet across the ground. He looked at his arm; the sleeve had torn off and the skin was doing the same, yet if still felt but a minor inconvenience. He got to his feet and tried charging again.
This time he fared worse. As he charged, the electricity ran out of his body and joined a lightning strike in mid air. Taser couldn’t see, couldn’t hear, couldn’t do anything but feel the power drain out of his body. And then when it was all gone, the bolt hit him.

This one sent him across the ground a good 40 feet. He looked up. Everything was grey and blurry. The gangs… them. ‘I can’t… let them’ he struggled to think, ‘Defeat me…’

The air felt thick around him, and he fell into unconsciousness.

Some leaves had caught on the breeze a while ago, and they had been blown into the area when it had existed. When the wind disappeared, the leaves had drifted down, waiting to meet the ground. And they met it near Taser’s half-alive body. As they came close to him, a bolt subconsciously fried them. Even without him controlling it, the electricity still didn’t want to leave his form.
