Chapter 234 - Megaloptera (2/2)

"Ain't no car of mine if it can't survive a crash or two either!" Clint said as he put his hands back on the wheel, ta vehicle into soht trajectory

Aldrich just shook his head, but he still s with Clint's type better than he let on The energy was infectious, he did have to adonfly, its size beca as a three story house, easily capable of crushi+ng a fully grown thy belly was a sizable swars

Each nye as a car, and when they sensed Clint's very loud, very obvious arrival, they detached from their mother and rushed forith remarkably quick speed

"Let er' rip!" Clint s it to spark Twin mounted cannons on either side of his car boo out shells that exploded into countless speeding shrapnel projectiles when they slaainst the nymphs

The shells pulped the ny nyh their still soft, not yet fully developed carapaces

Clint's car kept firing shell after shell, clearing a path to the dragonfly with good old lead and explosives However, when the shells hit the dragonfly itself, all they h hide

"Alright, time for the real deal!" Clint sla the car to violently flip over itself fro to slon so abruptly

After six or seven or eight flips, the car stopped, thoroughly beat up and now upside down

"That's what I call a real hed as he punched his door open and rolled out

"No, that's just a crash!+ A total failure of a stop! I'ain!" said Tox

"Quit co I'll fly you back out when this is over, said Ace

"Y'know, this is actually kind of exciting," said Stella with a grin

"The only other girl here, and she's crazy too," sighed Tox

Ace also punched his way out the car and hovered out Tox followed, squeezing her viscous, liquid body out Stella rolled out with trained e the poor car anymore than it had already suffered, so he just crawled out of the door Clint had punched off

"Aw yeah, look at that! Look at how big she is! Ain't she a beauty!?" Clint turned to everyone while pointing at the giant dragonfly behind hi at a toy His s but pure, unadulterated thrill

"Watch out!" said Stella, but it was too late

"Huh?" Clint looked down to see a spine skewered through his stoonfly had shot out a spine from its mouth at a speed so quick that even Aldrich had difficulty reacting properly

Aldrich wondered what to do at this point He could not let Clint just die like this as his current greatest supporter a I can raise the dead,' thought Aldrich, but that thought turned out to be unnecessary

"damn, that actually hurt!" Clint pulled the spine out of his sto, bloody hole It very quickly closed up, and when it did, thick, scale like brown armor covered his skin "But noon't work on me anymore!"

Clint tossed the spine away and faced the dragonfly with an eager grin "Shohat you all got! If it ain't ettin'speed for his behe, but everyti to stab hiuts

"Show him what you can do," Aldrich said to his units "I'll be watching fro's head for y I really like Really suitsoff the cracked earth with an explosion at her feet

"And the nyet to you," said Ace

Aldrich noted that Ace was a surprisingly considerate guy, even checking on Aldrich's own safety

But then again, Aldrich was h to protect himself

Aldrich took off his cloak and suit jacket, laying both across Clint's upturned car He unbuttoned three of the top buttons of his dress shi+rt for ease of moment and rolled up his sleeves He cracked his knuckles, his arh the fabric "I can take care of the," said Tox, drooling corrosive sliround below

Ace waved his hand in front of Tox's stare "Snap out of it and start ht" Tox held onto Ace's arm, and before she could say another word, they were off, Ace flying high into the air as he looked for an angle of attack
