"Get them!"
the boy yelled, giving chase to the school of fish.
Austin hurried to keep up with him.
With his spiritual sense, Austin could tell that while the fish were small, each and every one of them was potent. Lightning crackled around their bodies, sparking rolls of thunder audible from miles away.
The powerful creatures triggered devastating tremors in their paths.
The fish were extraordinary creatures rarely encountered in many universes.
Austin certainly never came across them in the universe he lived.
Boom!
The places where the little fish passed rattled with energy. The impact was overwhelming.
"What manner of creatures are these?" Austin wondered aloud in awe.
The fish continued to increase by the hundreds, their combined energy reaching unimaginable levels.
But the boy's rapid approach spooked them, causing them to flee.
"Wait! Come back!"
The boy started to pick up speed. Waves of formidable space-time power rippled beneath his feet. It was a terrific sight to behold.
Whoosh!
The boy propelled forward at frightening speed.
In a flash, the fish were within his reach. The boy grabbed at them.
Boom!
Lightning bolts as thick as mountains shot down from the sky; so plentiful it seemed as if doomsday had come.
These lightning bolts crackling with aggressive and formidable power surged toward the boy and Austin.
Austin made a quick motion with his fists. Two treasure pots emerged from thin air, acting as barriers for him.
Meanwhile, the sword-lights, each with the energy of twenty thousand swords' attack, also flowed around Austin, shielding his entire body.
Despite all of the said means, Austin was unable to withstand the hit when it came.
Bang!
The lightning bolts struck Austin, sending him flying. The surge of electricity left his skin charred and sooty, his hair standing on end. As he reeled from the strike, groaning and coughing, smoke sizzled from him and spewed out of his mouth.
The little boy, however, was unscathed. A fog of scarlet light enveloped his small frame.
As soon as the lightning touched the glowing scarlet fog, it bounced back immediately without causing any harm to the boy.
"Little fish, don't run away!"
the boy continued to call out, as if nothing had happened. He rolled up his sleeves and resumed his chase. Space-time power once again roiled around his feet, shooting him forward with impressive speed.
"Got it! I finally caught two!"
the boy announced, triumphantly clutching a fish in each hand.
"Hey, come here and hold onto these. I want to go get more!"
the boy called out.
"Hold them?!"
Austin sputtered incredulously. These little fish were obviously producing and summoning lightning. That kind of power shouldn't be trifled with.
Austin was still wrapping his mind around the boy's request when he realized the boy was already in front of him, placing the fish in his hands.
"Hold them tight, now! Don't let them escape!
They're cunning little creatures. If we lose them now, who knows when we'll come across them again?"
the boy explained.
Before Austin could react, the boy had run back to get more fish.
