SWOOSH!
BAM!
BAM!
BAM!
Mateo dashed and exchanged fists with Milo.
SWHIIIP!
BAM!
Milo then pushed back Mateo and swatted his mighty tail at Mateo who blocked the impact with just one arm.
But wait a minute...
"H-huh what is this...?!"
Milo asked with a hint of confusion.
Of course, he was puzzled for what he swatted his tail at wasn't a Mateo but... the wind.
Yes, Mateo defended himself using a what seemed to be wind shield.
That fact it was just a swirl of wind at vicious speed was protecting him wasn't the real mystery, but its dexterity was...
INCREDIBLE!!!
SSSHHHHWWWAAA!
GRRRRTTT!
Soon the wind shield burst out and an incredible force pushed back Milo as he used his foot claws to reduce his backward momentum.
"DAMN YOU!!!"
Leina cursed out as she sprung into the air, crossed her arms in front of her chest and thought...
'Cardinal technique; thorn swat!'
Then numerous small thin but sturdy looking spikes popped out of her arm as she then fiercely swung her and launched the spikes at Mateo.
In 2 seconds, the spikes were at his face, but he was fazed by even the slightest bit as he then vanished leaving the spikes to hit the ground.
"W-what where'd he g-"
BAM!
SWOOSH!
BOOM!
Just as puzzled Leina questioned a hard punch was delivered to her left cheeck with enough force to launch straight into the wall.
"Leina!"
Kayla called out in worry.
SWOOSH!
BAM!
"Ughhhh!"
Tyler groaned out in as he defended Kayla from a heavy kick that was delivered by Mateo.
But his body was partially covered in a silver shiny metal and he was indeed covered in silver.
"Ahhhh!"
SHINK!
PLUT!
TAT! TAT! TAT! TAT! TAT! TAT!
Leina then screamed out as she launched a barrage of spikes at Mateo who flew in the air effortlessly dodging them.
Just when he turned around, ready to deliver another attack a blurry figure appeared in front of him.
"Huh?"
SWOOSH!
BAM!
BOOOOM!
A huge fist had appeared right in front of his eyes now his whole body as he punched roughly to the right side of the kitchen which was connected to the entrance area.
Swooo!
The sound of something shrinking burst out as we see that it was...
The boys who was with Milo in the corridor leading to the kitchen.
His arm seemed to shrinking at a rapid speed and then back to its normal size.
"Oi Greg, thanks."
Tyler shouted out applauding him for his quick attack.
Silence then followed as the five stood still while Kayla who'd regained some of her cardinae's consists back was healing the the other four.
-----
A few minutes later.
"Ok everyone, it seems that Bruce's down for the count so let's head out."
Tyler commanded as everyone nodded in agreement and rushed through the corridor and the halls leading to the entrance.
BAM!
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!
SLING, SLING!
RWAAAAARRR!
BOOM!
As the five drew closer the entrance the sounds of a rough battle erupted from the entrance area.
"Ok you guys were almost there, remember whoever it is guys are fighting must some tough kids. So. Show. No. Mercy!"
"Yah sure thi-"
RUMBLE!
RUMBLE!
RUMBLE!
RUM-!
Suddenly the halls ruled and violently shook that caused the whole group to pause and duck down so as to assume a safe position in case it was an earthquake.
But it suddenly stopped?
"Hey you guys... I think we're in for the cle-"
GRRRRTTT!
BOOM!
Tyler's statement was interrupted by the sudden closure of their path by the walls...
WHAT!
"Uhhh you guys, w-why did the wall suddenly close our way to the entrance?"
Leina asked with dumbfounded look on her face.
"S-shit!, do you guys think there's someone else involved?!"
Kayla pointed out in worry.
"Yah, I think that's it so you guys into formation!"
Soon the five repositioned themselves.
Milo at the back, Greg before him, Kayla in the middle, Leina in front her and Tyler wad the first with being right next to the closed off entrance.
"Leina burst through it!"
Tyler commanded as he soon ducked down then Leina quickly shifted the upper body towards the closed wall.
'Cardinal technique; Explosive Spike!'
She thought put as spikes soon secreted from her skin but they were swollen and were now a dark red and inner orange colour.
She shot around 12 spikes that exploded on impact.
BOOOOM!!!
The explosion destroyed wall as a dust cloud soon engulfed the five.
Cough! Cough!
Cough! Cough!
"S-shit!"
"Hey that wall was nearly 4 inches thick, at least 5 spikes would've worked in total."
The group cursed out at Leina whose hand was scratching the back of her head nervously.
They decided to run in the direction of the now open pathway in the halls.
Step, step, step!
Cough, cough, cough!
Everyone coughed as they struggled to catch their breathes.
"Dammit I can barely breath."
"Shit Kayla we gonna need your help with our lungs."
"Ya please cough, cough!"
"..."
No response came from her as the four soon realised that... Kayla was gone!?
"Shit, where's Kayla?"
"I dunno maybe she fainted in there."
Milo asked but with a fine and calm look on his hybrid face.
It seemed like this explosion didn't have much effect on his breathing.
Could this be the durability of a beast type mythical cardinal warrior?
Well that wasn't anything to care about as he then rushed back into the dusty area to get Kayla out.
The dust cloud was still thick and slowly settling down and there was no time to wait Kayla could die.
So Milo went in as fast as he could to get her.
The other three actually wanted to leave help at the entrance but nah not while their friends were still in there.
So they sat and waited.
--------
A few minutes later.
"Ughhhh, you guys I think something's up?"
Leina groaned and said in concern.
"Yah Milo's durability should've gotten him and Kayla out sooner."
Tyler said with a stern look on his face.
"Then there's no reason to wait any longer, the dust's cleared as bit so let's go get them."
"Yah let's go."
The three then stood and rushed to help the friends.
But just when Leina's foot was reached at the rubble.
"GASP! Dammit Leina! Get back!"
"Huh?"
Tyler shouted to Keina who'd nearly heard him when...
SNIIIINK!
