17 To Anger (2/2)

Hikari swiftly jumped onto Yami's hands, who cocked back then immediately thrust him powerfully upwards and towards the missiles that honed in on their location. As Hikari flew, he spun his hammer rapidly, the hammer gaining momentum and illumminating to a bright gold.

[SOLAR SWING]

Hikari swiftly swung at and parried each and every single missile in the air deflecting them downwards (since it's slo-mo, the missiles remained in place, just that their trajectory had changed). A bright golden trail of light in the sky, the after image of Hikari's flurry of swings.

**End Slo-Mo**

The missles soared downwards, through the clouds and into the unknown abyss. They eventually detonated (probably), but any sound of explosion was muted by the thick layer of clouds that essentially represented the floor of Zephyrian Territory.

Before Hikari could fall into said floor, Tedi soared in majestically in time to allow Hikari to land on her back. The bear was flanked by Gale and Yami, who had also flew in to save him. Good friends, but flufferino reigns supreme.

”Xero!” Hikari yelled, subconsciously squishing le fluff. ”Give us some cover!”

”Yes sir!”

Amber looked back towards Xero, who had positioned himself high up on one of the Innu's balconies (left eye to be exact) . He looked back at them and returned both a comforting smile and an encouraging nod.

”We got you. Take em out.”

In that moment she both recieved closure. Though Amber had lost the position she had dreamed about, she finally got to do something much better: inflicting justice and fighting alongside her absolute favourite person in the world.

Similarly Elektra gained more than she had lost. As she gazed upon her new teammates which ventured forward through the sky and towards their their enemies, her heart warmed. It reminded her of Matthew, who put his life on the line for her. Though he was out of commission, Elektra now had entire team who she could rely on and find comfort in (oof cheesy, but legit nonetheless).

They fully put their faith in the reat to handle the accompanying fleet, and turned their focus back towards the pathetic thugs in front of them.

Both Yakuza lieutenants' smiles had now disappeared, as they cowered within their lil forcefield.

They really didn't intend on a direct confrontation. They had planned to kill them on the spot with the missiles, but those were gloriously blocked. The back up plan was to dock onto the island and overwhelm them with the 4000 ”Kyodai” members aboard the fleet, but they were now preoccupied. They had no choice but to fight, and were certainly not prepared for it.

Amber and Elektra's killer auras reappeared, perhaps to a greater degree. Their red and lavender auras started manifesting into pure fire and electricity. With the potential of pathetic cheapshots or ambush tactics gone, nothing was holding them back. They were ready to kick ass.

And asses did they kick, literally.
