16 To Protec (2/2)
[TEMPEST AXEL]
She shot straight up into the sky in a magestic spiral fashion. As she ascended her body rapidly rotated anticlockwise in conjunction with her wings, causing a mini tornado that gathered all the smoke into her wings. She dispersed the concentrated smoke upwards and outwards, clearing their view.
Xero wasted no time in getting a closer look at the perpetrators, activating his sniper rifle and turning his scope dial.
[GLACIAL SCOPE 3]
This scope allowed Xero to view perfectly at a max range of 3000 meters. He peered through his eyesight and towards the distant horizon and became incredibly disturbed at what he saw, much to the concern of Hikari.
”What do you see?”
”A lead airship about 1 klick away, coming in hot. Really hot. A huge fleet of about 150/200 follow, 3 klicks back. Not as fast, but fast.”
Hikari's contemplated on the sentiment. Fleets of such size were a major deal.
”Air Force?!”
”No. The lead seems to be a type D aircraft.”
Hikari thought to himself for a few seconds, then it occured to him.
”Wait, isn't that the Dia-”
The lead jet had already entered the mansion's vacinity, not slowing down at all.
[BLASTER: INFERNO BURNO]
Amber activated her cannon and shot a tiny fireball that rapidly increased in size and heat as it travelled. The fireball grew to envelop the jet, causing a huge explosion and disintegrating all that were within.
That is, all but two entities, which seemed to go from falling hopelessl in the sky to diving intently to the ground, landing with much impact and such presence (ironically staring at the doge mansion and those that protected it; very wow).
As the dust settled (unarguably more easily than the smoke previously), the view of these people became crystal clear, quite literally actually.
Stood in front of them were the first and second lieutenants of the Diamond Yakuza, one of the most powerful crime syndicates in all of Zephyria.
”We're not letting you at Ryan.” Hikari declared, staring them down.
”We're not here for him.” the second replied, looking past him and at Amber and Elektra, both of whom's forms changed significantly to pure killer-instinct. The fiery rage was evident in Amber's eyes as were the electric sparks in Elektras.
”When we heard the two of you were gathered here in one place, we just had to come personally to destroy you.”
Amber and Elektra turned to each other, acknowledging each's own transformation.
”How do you know them?” Amber asked, unwavering in her flaming aura.
Elektra's electricity chaotically surrounding her intensified.
”We had an altercation back in the day. I escaped with my life, but my partner was not as lucky. You?”
Amber clutched her blaster, her revenge manifesting as flames all over her body.
”They took away my life at the academy. They will pay with their own.”
