"Head down to the right, now!" In the panic, a deep, authoritarian voice cut through. Jade stood at a cross road, gesturing people to what he'd judged the safest route out of the city. Cutting through the alleyways would make short time, but he worried about the stampede of frightened townsfolk trampling each other. Before he could give that much more thought, a thunderous crack sounded above.

Immediately, Jade unleashed his spear from his arms in a pillar of green light. Then, raising the spear, he called out, "Thunder Lance!" Lightening appeared from nowhere, striking the chunk of debris and blowing it back into a nearby building he hoped was empty.
