"I am a Child of the Light. I have orders to either capture you or kill you. If you resist, I will have no choice but to resort to violence." The speaker was female. Jay hadn't been able to tell from her appearance, but her voice confirmed it. The Child of the Light wore a black hoodie, hood pulled up to hide her face.

Jay stopped walking away. Resort to violence? What did one call nearly destroying a building and attempting to smash another into the ground? Still facing away, Jay pointed up towards the sky. "Have you ever looked at the sun?" The comment caused the attacker's eyes to look up, for a moment, but that was all it took. Jay altered down and fell backwards through the air at his attacker, twisting to face her as he did. She had just enough time to see him flying through the air towards her before his open palm slammed into her chest.

All that pushed him was his sideways gravity, the road below was a great black wall stretching into infinity behind him. But the road did end, just ahead. Though the girl tried to free herself from the boy's push, he canceled every resistance she put up. The pair hit terminal velocity just before they hit the side of a tall metal and glass office building. Jay's attacker was slammed through layer and layer of building. They didn't slow, the boy canceling any resistance to his fall, but his attacker bore the full force of wall after wall after wall. The other side of the building blew out, and the pair just kept falling through building after building, tearing a path of destruction that ran through five blocks in the center of the city.

Reorienting down back towards the Earth and canceling their fall, Jay took his hand off of his attacker. Cocking his head to one side, he addressed her, "Do you still want to resort to violence?" He could see the blood falling from her back onto the road, the black wall that had now become the floor.

To her credit, Jay was surprised that she was still alive. Not many people could survive their body being used to smash through a half dozen steel support beams. "I am a Child of the Light. I have orders to either capture you or kill you. If you resist, I will have no choice but to resort to violence." she said the same thing as earlier, though she had a noticeably harder time getting some of the words out this time. It looked as if she had bitten her tongue as well. She raised her head to look the boy in the face. A pillar of fire consumed his body.

The girl collapsed onto her side in the middle of the street. The kid had managed to break most of her ribs, and she couldn't move one arm. "Ow." The sound was barely a whisper. Sirens rang out, far away now but coming closer. That was fast. Suddenly a hand grabbed her shoulder and pushed her down onto her back. The boy knelt over her, his body burnt and blackened, parts of him still on fire, clothes gone, reduced to ash by the inferno. As she watched, his eyes regrew in their sockets. They looked... bored. No one had warned her that her target was a monster. "I-"

Jay slammed his palm into the girl's side, he heard ribs breaking as he multiplied the force of his touch by tenfold. The girl flew down the side road, skipping over the pavement, slamming into a sturdy stone building and not getting up. Jay walked over to where his attacker -- no, he was the attacker now -- lay where she had stopped. The boy lifted her from where she lay and pushed her head against the stone wall behind her. His skin smoldered and smoked as it tried to grow back from being burned to a crisp, giving him a demonic appearance, dark smoke rising from his black and dead skin. He put one hand flat on the wall next to her head. "What is your name?"

"... Anna."

"Goodbye Anna." Jay nulled the resistance of the wall behind Anna's head, then he released her. She began to fall forwards when his fist slammed into her stomach, force multiplied hundredfold. The stone wall, and the larger stone castle ruins behind it, crumbled. The needles of any earthquake sensors within a hundred miles shot up to the end of the scale for a moment and then fell back to rest.

Jay walked away. He needed to find a new cloak. "I wonder who the Children of the Light are," he mused. He should have though to ask. The boy, his face only half regenerated, looked back over his shoulder. Too late now.
