Chapter six
Trouble
My mana circuits rushed throughout my body the feeling The sound of my breath catching in my chest. The mana waves folding inwardly to me as i absorbed the ambient mana.
Yes.
This is the feeling i was searching for.
My body squeezed tight as muscles bounced off each other. Reverberating all way up to my facial tissue. I could see it! The flow of mana enhancing my body!
But how was i—
I began. To run.
The feeling of true expression! My mind cleared out to the point of blackness.
My body feeling like that of. Void, light to the point of the nonsensical.
This is the feeling of
THE ZONE.
Immediately my subconscious spotted what my dragons were doing.
My?
My body running to the right, the sound of lava spewing. The sight of orange flared to my left, Fire bolting as a pink hue crossed my stark black shadow! Ice shattering artic blue ice sprouted across the grounds and i simply slid across said sporadic surfaces. My mind calm the sound of the leftwards battle fell to deaf ears.
And my body, began to emit ice from the pores of my—
I blitzed forward steps sliding across the icy and smooth surface of the road. only to see the chaos of the armored riot police trying to contain, a
T. E. L. A. K. I. N. E. T. I. C.
Shields flying 50 caliber guns mounted on trucks. burst. to splinters of rolling blood and metal, into the air. Givening the air a scent of iron and stinging metal. Bullets flying the newly made plasma launchers firing off three shots! Piercing his metal defenses But from where?
Didn't. Matter.
men, and women went soaring, across the air, only to to land on hard smoothed out gravel! For we were in the middle section of the city. Just one stone throws away between the richer sectors. And—
Kaboooom! A cruiser exploded in front of me. Finally making it to the front I saw it, the trained mobility of the anti magic officers, or A.M.O
Their ancient weapons shown as modern shown with new air. Making these above average low mana humans. On par with the peak of a mid tier trained. mana born warrior.
And it still, wasn't enough. So I joined the fray
Twisting my feet i flowed forward in a sprint towards the psychic mage dodging between plain officers only to be nearly be struck by an A.M.O agent i stopped in an instant asking with all the noble air in had about me.
"what the hell are you doing getting in the way of a nagaraboshi duty."
The agent paled and backed off and I simply leaped hearing order changes. To support the nagaraboshi.
I finally soaring through the air i tried grasping it with me feet. Nothing happend and I fell to the ground landing onto the smooth gravel.
Dragons reflux, why the hells are you failing now body!
I heard snickers of a nagaraboshi who cant fly, and I almost glared, till my body. Moved for me, giving the sign of a blasphemy so high, even the gods sneer and ignore those who use it. I gave them the middle finger
Now fully planted to the ground i remembered that the nagaraboshis. don't. fly. they walk the very skies themselves, to the point that it looks like flying, this time.
I wont make that same mistake, leaping up towards the mage. The agents joined me leaping into the air. We flew towards the flying mage as in noticing us began to target us until. Boooom!
Followed by plasma fire of green proportions of that. Of a metal pole and bullet fire strafing the air. The explosion of the rocket launcher rocked a car then exploded in his face!
The very thing he was using for cover exploded and he simply pushed the explosion around him making the roiling fire and smoke fall behind him it rocked the streets a nearby building creating a gridded ripple in turn protecting the cities exterior.
Then to put insult to near injury he had to lean backwards. dodging a coming plasma fire, he had trouble just blocking the range of fire shooting accurately towards him. covering us to continue forward! Too late to change course a spare flying car cam out of my way making me flinch. Mana flickered then fired.
Pushing my knees to the limit arms spread out. I pushed my knees into my diaphragm winding me.
The sound of wind wad starting to deafen my hearing to sound itself.
Holy undead.
This. Is. Epic.
I landed with a crunch making my knees dig deeper into my diaphragm. Pain shot from my knees to my chest. Causing me to leap backwards in pure survival in mind. The A.M.O agents leaping forward got slammed away psychicly.
My breath catching up to me now my mind stopped then began the process of thinking again.
I sighed the last of my air.
My sister's would laugh at if they saw me floundering. After all im the least talented in the family. I grimaced at that then my mind quickly became focused again
Another breath
And i was back into the zone. I flicked my eyes around and noticed the poll heading straight at me. I smiled then reached out and grabbed it. Right arm stretching to hold onto it.
Flipping like a trapeze, i began to spin wildly all while I counted. 1,2,3,4 letting go i soared towards the mage in a white coat.
What an absurd mage, who wears white these days?
My mind shifted back and i was aready shifting into the Soara's breath style soaring clouds.
Mana channeling I twisted my feet created cloud burst below my feet and surrounding my blade. Ice particles bursting from below my feet Fseuuuuuuuuh the sound of clouds bursting to life.
Folding my arms mid air I leaped off the cloud burst mid air. And my vision blurred buildings together. Light streaking sound now fully deafend.
I burst forward with blinding speed, the mage finally noticing me threw cars at me.
To. Late.
Aready pre slashing into cloud formations. I shredded the metal in front of me. And shot passed the mage. I blinked .as I softly landed on the wall final cloud burst slowing my rapid ascent. Then gravity hit me! The price of my moment nearly breaking spin! Sound roared to life as if filling me in on life and my ears nearly burst.
I cried out in pain as all the sound I missed came crashing towards making me fall
Well arghh at least i got the.. mage..
I unintentionally shredded the mage alive.
The sound of sirens reaching my bleeding ears.
Oh no
Did i just.. kill,Someone?
Then he breathed as he flew close to me.
he landed on the last remnants of the cloud burst. Good.. he didnt die. My eyes grew cold as my body. Violently! Woke up pain shoting across my entire body. Frome head to toe.
As the telakinetic flew to life bursting blood till he stopped it! I failed!
But hes majorly injured and now amo is on his tail.
I landed on the ground thumping I saw the psychic mage mage simply glared down at me then blocked a blade with a randomly pulled pole twang!
He. Skinned the metal with a simple gesture of the hand, then broke it into one two. Four. Eight. Thirteen pieces of metal rodes. Ready to defend him, and they did.
Oof
I tried to move my body and red hot pain scorched my body mana circuits on fire my body. Convulsed uncontrollably for a minute
The entire time covering fire was occupied four of his rods, only for the rest to be used and reinforced agaist ancient weapons!
How is that possible, then I saw it as pain rocked me
By the time i was able to move my head I saw the slight glow of psychic energy a completely different force entirely, one that only other psychics can see.
He was stopping the blows before they connected. then he simply gave the illusion,
of pushing them back with the metal rods.
Metalic scrape how is he, my head flicked by instinct to the dragons on my right. And I saw they've put in the work.
For the fight with the dragons and cryo mage was nearly complete.
Kokoro dove in to the left, lava scorching the ground around him. His breath full of smog.
A low kick tripped her left leg as she used ice to shield herself! Their going to kill her! In the middle of retreating backwards.
the cryo mage fell hard.
Mizuki in turn was already behind her at blinding speed.
She moved as though swimming through the air.
each motion fluid, her body moving through space itself,as if it had weight. To push on, calms smooth to the touch.
Effortless. Yet through it all, something wild and unpredictable.
She pummeled her with heavy precise force. her body recoiling from the barrage of blows. Then the front of her body caught up to the attack. And her flesh pushed out were she was struck. She coughed out blood and Knocking her forwards to the ground. I could barely watch memories of what Ive done, done to innocents. To my sister's i gave the last of my strength to yell! "Dont kill her!!!!!"
They both twirled to me their eyes widened at my proclomation. And as they tried to argue
the cryo mage catching herself let out a loud scream and with a burst of magic blew them back.
I tried getting up and fell, then got helped up and i began to run towards them.
for a secound i could hear my heart beating inside my chest. My mana circuits burning my legs suddenly got hit with shock,
My body buckled under the pain.
failing to move up I could only watch them surround her like pack of dragons hunting prey.
they came charging back and kokoro tried to punch and Mizuki kickings flaring from her side.
From both her back and front.
In turn the cryo mage sent a burst of ice. And shattered the ice.
their bodies molded like rapidly growing crystals.
A smile danced on her bleeding face shattering the ice while striking Mizuki kidney on the left with a knee. Knocking her sideways mid punch.
Then creating an ice spear and stabbed at kokoro. it broke then she slashed twice shattering the rest of the spear.
kokoro stumbled backwards his weight saving him.
Get up you bloody fool! Struggling to lift myself i barely manage a couple inches before falling.
My Adrenaline wanning I felt the damage I did to my body as I pushed it to the limits.
looks like I can't help only watch because I burned my mana circuits.
The twin dragons were pushed back with a barrage of icicle lances running from her legs up into the air stabbing at them kokoro blocked them roughly shattering them on contact. His arms starting freeze over with thin icicles.
Only for it to rapidly melt from his natural heat.
while Mizuki danced around the lances. Twisting a twirling wingd skimming the ground.
As if gliding across the ground spinning. she then coiled for a jump.
bursting towards her pink flames engulfed Mizuki body she broke through the mages hurried ice walls.then deactivating it last seconds playfully stopped mid strike.
Ice mage flinching. Then mizuki hit her with a twisting kick.
Knocking her towards kokoro.
Catching the moment they both pummeled her back to front her body reverberating from the blows.
I heard the sound of bursting wind from mizukis side. Shes fast! And heard the thunder of kokoro steps, hes strong!
She coughed blood trying to stand.
The the both struck her at the same time with varied force.
Mizuki towards the spine kokoro to her gut. she wobbled blood spilling out her mouth.
Internal damage then collapsed.
caught between to dragons how tragic.
my eyes beginning to fade, I begun to hear the enforcers arrived causing a ruckus as five they landed bringing out stretchers guns pointing towards us
"Put your hands behind your back your under arrest!"
With my vision fading i began to think
What happend that was so bad?
All we did was assist them...
