76 On the Escape (1/2)

Lexa's most immediate obstacle while trying to get passed this man called Savre was the Ghost Walker Medallion which could prevent her from chanting at a certain range. To get passed this temporarily, Lexa noticed that the medallion had to be activated and wasn't on at all times. Thus, she quickly came up with the plan to use Bestial Fury to freeze the man's movements. Hopefully for long enough that she can dash passed him and get to her partner.

As Lexa's blurred form was dashing passed him, Savre was delighted when he fought off the paralyzing effect of the Bestial Fury unleashed by that damn cat. His nimble limbs worked quickly, hos left hand snapping in Lexa's direction, black shrouds encasing it.

Lexa cursed her luck. While it was still impressive that her Bestial Fury worked on someone an entire rank above her, it was still not enough.

There was nothing she could about it now however and these thoughts passed in the matter of a second bedore her brain quickly calculated her next move.

In retalitation to the incoming grasping hand which was encased in a strange darkness, Lexa chose to face off againt the attack directly when she realized that his hand's were moving faster than she could run.

”You think you can escape the hands of a thief?!” Savre taunted.

Lexa ignored his words and went on to chant a spell, only to find no voice being projected from her communicator. He had activated the Ghost Walker Medallion and she was definitely in range to be effected.

She didn't have the time to stress over this and had already expected this, so she quickly acted on her second option. So without delay, a ray of red light shot out of the bangle attached to her tail, the fifth and final Scorching Ray from her Crimson Iris bangle.

As the Scorching Ray threatened to strike his hand which was encased by the dark substance, Savre visibly sneered. 'Have you not learned your lesson from last time? Let me reflect your own spell back at yah!!'

But to his shock, this spell he recognized from before suddenly exploded into several red chunks that splattered across his body, doing no damage but dyeing parts of him a luminescent red, including painfully in his eyes as they squinted and blinked uncontrollably as he tried to free them of the red substance.

'Teheh, who would have thought that a little game of Splat would actually be useful in battle!' Lexa cheered internally as she looked on with glittering eyes. Lexa spared the reeling Savre no second thought for now and returned to her task at hand as she finally sprinted up to the prone Andria, who looked on with an awed expression. She hadn't expected that Lexa could actually get passed these scary adults and she cried out in joy as she went in for a hug with her newly grown up partner.

(Author's Note: Refer back to Ch. 58 if you have forgot about splat. Names in the title, so that helps :D)

”Lexa!” Andria cried out as she hugged Lexa close to her heaving chest.

Lexa felt pained with every tear drop she felt dripping onto her silver fur and hugged the girl in her hands with the best of her ability, being a cat it was a little awkward. But she didn't think much of it and continued to hug her, try to seep out all the fear and pain that she felt so she could share in it and make it easier for her.

”We're going to be okay... We just need to breakthrough the barrier and escape!” Lexa tried to make her words sound as confident as she could so that she could build up the girl's spirit.

”Hmm.” Andria nodded amidst her tears, trying to sound just as confident.

The two separated from their quick reunion and Lexa turned to look at their kidnappers, who hadn't moved in the slightest, except for Savre who had begun to form water in his hands that he used to clean out the gunk in his eyes. He struggled however, as Lexa had added a metallic quality to the magical substance that hardened it and made it difficult to remove. He only got rid of it after several seconds of serious scrubbing and after it, the area around his eyes had swollen red like he had cried his heart out.

Despite the seriousness of the situation she was in, Lexa couldn't hold back her laughter at the sight and Andria joined in between her crying. Savre growled at them furiously.
