Taken from the chapter - Digital Detonator

As Kimiko turned onto Main Street she stopped dead in her tracks.

Strange shooting sensations flew up from her toes to the top of her head. An enormous pressure was building inside her; the tips of her fingers burnt and her mouth began to froth.

"Yew. What's up with your mouth, Kimiko?" Koji cried in disgust.

"It's nothing," Kimiko frothed, dribbling down her chin. By now the energy surges were increasing and she could barely speak.

"Let's go the other way, I…I…I don't want to go this—"

"What?" snorted Koji. "Are you mad? We'll be late for sure."

"What's so important about going this way anyway?" Kimiko demanded.

"Erh, because it's the way to school, dork brain," said Koji.

Kimiko knew what was going to happen: something inside her was growing and she was powerless to stop it. She glanced up ahead at the crowd of shoppers. She could clearly make out a small boy, wearing a bright yellow T-shirt, who was about her age. The veins in Kimiko's neck bulged and it felt like her head was growing to the size of her body.

The children's gazes were locked onto each other like hawks. As their eyes met she knew that telepathic combat was inevitable. The boy's small, brown face twisted and contorted as the power of their concentration intensified. It felt as though the very street they were standing on was warping and shaking uncontrollably.

Like turning up a massive rock 'n' roll stereo system the energy around the two children surged. To maintain their mental combat, electrical current leaped from every available power source. Huge swells of energy bounced from one child to the next, stunning innocent passers by. As the flood of energy reached its climax, someone's concentration would have to give. Kimiko clenched her fists tightly one last time. A torrent of mind-power rocketed up from her boots.

The small boy fell to the floor, defeated. The sudden collapse of his concentration created a massive shift in the balance of energy filling the street. Kimiko's tiny little body began to suck in the excess power like a vacuum. She shuddered as wave after wave of energy poured into her body. As Kimiko breathed out, a shockwave like that of a fighter jet going past at the speed of sound devastated the street. The gigantic windows of the nearby T.V. shop shattered, showering everyone with glass. One after the other, each line of TVs exploded.

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM
