Chapter 236 - Megaloptera 3 (2/2)

"That tornado's gonna be a real bitch to fly through!" shouted Stella, trying to yell over the howling winds "Want ot it!" Ace flew around the tornado, towards the side where the ed, severed in half The winds there eaker, causing the fiery tornado to look lopsided
