Chapter 38: Playoff Night
publish date:
2026-03-15 19:40:53The city of Vancouver buzzed with energy long before the puck dropped.
Playoff banners hung from buildings, fans crowded sports bars, and streets around Rogers Arena filled with green jerseys hours before game time.
The Vancouver Grizzlies were entering the first round of the playoffs, and the entire city felt like it was holding its breath.
Inside the arena, the atmosphere was electric.
Music thundered through the speakers. Cameras flashed. Fans waved signs that read:
THORNE TIME
PUP POWERFUTURE CAPTAINS: FINN & LIAMUp in the familiar luxury suite overlooking the rink, Finn and Liam pressed their faces against the glass.
Finn wore his tiny Grizzlies jersey and gripped his toy stick proudly.
“Hockey!”
Liam bounced beside him, clutching his foam puck.
“Goal!”
Mara stood quietly near the suite door, watching the hallway outside with calm vigilance.
Jake leaned against the glass beside the twins.
“Alright, little guys,” he said softly. “Watch your dad closely.”
The Arena Roars
Down on the ice, Alex stepped out of the tunnel and onto the rink.
The roar from the crowd was deafening.
Playoff hockey had a different energy—faster, louder, sharper.
Alex glanced up instinctively toward the luxury box.
Finn and Liam were already waving.
He smiled and tapped his stick against the ice.
Brody skated up beside him.
“You ready?”
Alex nodded.
“Always.”
Coach shouted from the bench.
“Line up!”
The teams gathered at center ice.
The referee held the puck over the faceoff circle.
The building fell silent for half a second.
Then , the puck dropped.
Something in the Air
From the luxury suite, Jake watched the game with one eye on the ice and one eye on the crowd.
Something about the arena felt wrong.
The same pressure they had felt during the cabin attack.
Mara felt it too.
“They’re here,” she said quietly.
Jake didn’t take his eyes off the stands.
“Yeah.”
Finn tugged on his sleeve.
“Papa?”
Jake forced a smile.
“Everything’s okay.”
But even as he said it, the arena lights flickered briefly.
The Game Intensifies
On the ice, the Grizzlies played fast and aggressive.
Alex intercepted a pass near center ice and exploded forward with speed.
The opposing defense scrambled to catch him.
Brody skated alongside him.
“Now!”
Alex fired the puck.
It slammed into the top corner of the net.
The goal horn blasted through the arena.
The crowd erupted.
Finn jumped up and down behind the glass.
“Daddy score!”
Liam lifted his puck into the air using his telekinesis in excitement.
Mara quickly lowered it again before anyone noticed.
The Hunters in the Crowd
Deep in the arena stands, several figures sat scattered among the fans.
They wore ordinary clothing.
Hoodies.
Jackets.
Hats pulled low.
But their eyes glowed faintly red when the lights dimmed.
One of them whispered into a small device.
“Targets confirmed.”
Another voice answered calmly.
“Begin phase two.”
The First Disturbance
Halfway through the second period, the arena lights flickered again.
This time longer.
The crowd murmured in confusion.
Then a section of the upper seating suddenly froze.
Literally.
Thin sheets of ice spread across the railing and seats like frost racing over glass.
Fans gasped.
Security rushed forward.
Jake’s eyes narrowed.
“That’s not Finn.”
Mara nodded.
“They’re testing something.”
Chaos in the Arena
Suddenly three Crown Court hunters moved quickly through the luxury level hallway.
Security guards tried to stop them.
The guards were thrown aside effortlessly.
Inside the Thorne family suite, Mara stepped in front of the twins.
Jake’s voice dropped into a low growl.
“Not happening.”
The suite door burst open.
Three hunters entered calmly.
Their leader smiled faintly.
“Good evening.”
Finn pointed at them.
“Bad guys!”
Jake stepped forward slowly.
“You’ve got five seconds.”
The hunter chuckled.
“Actually, we only need two.”
Liam Strikes First
Before anyone else could move, Liam lifted both hands instinctively.
The foam puck beside him shot forward like a cannonball.
It slammed into one hunter’s chest and sent him crashing backward through the door.
Jake blinked.
“Okay.”
Brody, who had just arrived from the bench hallway, grinned.
“That’s my nephew.”
Finn’s Ice Awakens
Another hunter lunged toward the twins.
Finn sneezed again.
The glass windows of the luxury suite instantly froze over.
A wave of icy energy burst outward across the hallway.
The floor coated itself in slick frost.
Two hunters lost their footing and slammed into the wall.
Jake laughed once.
“Oh yeah.”
On the Ice
Down below, the game had completely stopped.
Players and referees looked around in confusion as frost crept across part of the rink boards.
Alex looked up toward the luxury suites.
He could feel it.
The twins.
Something had happened.
He dropped his stick and skated toward the tunnel immediately.
Coach shouted after him.
“Thorne!”
Alex didn’t stop.
The Fight Upstairs
Back in the suite hallway, Jake moved like lightning.
One hunter swung a blade.
Jake caught the arm mid-strike and slammed the attacker into the floor.
Brody tackled another one into a snack cart.
Popcorn exploded everywhere.
Mara disarmed the final hunter with precise speed.
Within seconds, the attackers were down.
Security guards finally rushed up the stairs.
Jake dusted off his jacket.
“Little late, guys.”
Alex Arrives
Alex burst into the suite moments later, still wearing full hockey gear.
“Everyone okay?”
Finn pointed proudly.
“I ice!”
Liam floated his puck again.
“Boom!”
Alex blinked at Jake.
Jake shrugged.
“Team effort.”
The Crown Court Watches
Far away, in a dark control room high above New York City, the Crown Court leader watched the arena footage calmly.
Finn’s ice burst replayed across the screen.
Liam’s telekinetic strike followed.
The leader smiled slowly.
“Extraordinary.”
One of his advisors spoke quietly.
“Should we escalate?”
The leader leaned back in his chair.
“Oh yes.”
He tapped the screen again.
A new location appeared.
The frozen lake near the Thorne cabin.
“Phase three begins soon.”
Back in Vancouver
The arena eventually resumed the game after the strange disturbance.
Fans buzzed with rumors.
Security doubled across every level.
But in the Thorne suite, Alex held Finn and Liam tightly.
Jake leaned beside him.
“They’re getting bolder.”
Alex nodded.
“So will we.”
Below them, the Grizzlies returned to the ice.
The playoffs continued.
But everyone in that suite knew something now.
This wasn’t just a hockey season anymore.
It was the opening act of a much bigger battle.
