62 Teamwork (2/2)

This was his words before turning around and signalling the crew to move out. Jonas wanted to say something but he remembered the things Raven was able to do so far. He figured that it would be best if he followed his advise, but before he did so...

”Be careful...” he said as he turned around and ran towards the main camp.

Raven nodded and with his crew, they jumped from where they were standing.

As soon as they landed, they barely had any time before they saw an ant madly charging towards them. Paul went into a drive and placed himself before the team while having his guard up, Mark and the girls were behind him as well Raven who folded his arms on his chest.

”Cover for each other backs.” Raven uttered and everyone nodded. The ant came closer and closer but before they clashed, Anne stretched her bow and took aim.

The arrow whistled at travelled through the wind, the ant saw this coming but decided to ignore it since it knew that it was gonna land on it's hard shell. The arrow went closer, it suddenly changed course and landed on one of it's exposed joints. The ant screeched in pain and continued it's advance while glaring at Anne.

”Good shot.” Raven praised.

It didn't took long before the opposing forces met. The ant raised one of it's legs and Paul received it, he slanted his shield purposely to redirect the impact on the ground which made it harder for the ant to retrieve it's leg.

Mark took this time to climb on the ants legs clearly aiming for the joints. But before he could continue, he could sense that the ants focus was on him and it intended to stop whatever he plans on doing. The ant raised it's other leg to slice Mark in two, but before the lef reached him, an arrow from Anne hit the hard shell on the leg, causing it to miss it's target.

Meanwhile, Ellen and Luna blurred into action. The girls charged forward and hid underneath the ants large frame while it was distracted by Mark. Thanks to their training, they too were able to climb onto the ants legs while not being afraid of falling, this is due to their energy control. Ellen decided to go for the leg that has the arrow previously while Luna went for the left hind leg.

No words were spoken, the three severed the respective legs they were on at the same time causing the ant to fall over. Paul grinned and planted himself firmly onto the ground as he saw the head of the ant falling in front of him. As soon as the ant fell, Paul jumped and aimed his spear, he tightened his grip and swung, throwing the spear straight on the beast's eyes. As he was falling down, Paul saw Mark throwing one of his sword on the other eye.

Now that the creature was blinded, it was trying it's best to at least take one down of them. This is when Luna emerged from the back of the beast and jumped onto the head of the ant, she aimed her spear and muttered: 'Piercing Light'.

A beam of light emerged from the tip of her spear and pierced the head of the ant. The beast screech one last time and then stopped moving. The crew gathered and smiled.

”Good work-”

As Raven was about to praise them, another quake just below them. By now, these people knew about these signs and don't need Raven's instructions before moving out of the way.

As they retreated, another ant surfaced from the ground and let out an loud screech. As the team was caught rather unprepared and quite out of breath because they just dealt with one of these. The person who didn't do much from the beginning decided to take matters at hand.

Raven's figure blurred from where he was. Before anyone noticed it, he was already at the face level of the ant. The ant was surprised, it tried to swallow Raven but before it could do so, it's face met his charged fist.

It was like a cannon hit it's face, the ant lost it's balance from the impact of a single punch from Raven. It tried to get up but Raven was already on it's face once more. His raised his arm which looked like it was covered by shiny steel and drove it onto the brain of the ant. Formally ending it's life. Raven stepped down from where he was and looked at the team.

”Good work everyone.”
