Mana continued sticking to the wall, making it past the Sentinel barely, but then she noticed something on the top of a roof. [color=8dc73f][i]An eye? And it's looking directly at me?[/i][/color] Mana thought to herself gritting her teeth, letting the hood hang over her face. But then she heard stomps coming from behind her, it was the Sentinel from before coming right at her! [color=8dc73f]"This is just my luck!"[/color] Mana said as she got her knuckled knives out from her hoodies pocket, she put them on her knuckles as she held them up in defense. She seriously didn't want to die throughout this entire mess, so what she had to do was fight. At least until she gets some time to run off from the monster. The Sentinel had ran fast towards Mana, which surprised her despite the massive armor that this guy had on. She got hit in the gut with a hard punch and was sent flying back, Mana had started to cough up small amounts of blood to start off with. [color=8dc73f]"Damn it... you monster!"[/color] Mana yelled out to the sentinel as he walked towards her, she had started to get up from the cold ground for an attempt to run again. But instead she was picked up by the throat and pushed against a wall, which made it hard for Mana to breathe as her eyes went wide. [color=8dc73f]"Bastard...! I won't... allow myself to die...!"[/color] Mana had yelled out to the sentinel, who did not respond, but just remained to choke Mana. Mana's grips on her knuckled knives were getting slightly weaker, so Mana closed her eyes and accepted her fate. But when she opened them she had realized that her body felt incredibly light. She realized that she was in the wall that the sentinel had choked her on, she saw that her body was darkness. It was just all pure darkness. [color=8dc73f]"Is this what he meant? What happened to my body?"[/color] Mana had said to herself, but then narrowed her eyes as she jumped out of the wall and ran up the street, her body going back to it's original form. [color=8dc73f][i]I understand now, but now it's the time to make a strategy.[/i] [/color]Mana had thought to herself, she decided if she were tired from running on land, she would turn into her weird shadow body to recover some of her energy. The Sentinel from before continued to chase Mana, so she decided to use the quickest way for herself to get to that castle, and fast. The Sentinels were throwing debris at her, but she would have turn into her shadow body to render their physical attack useless. Mana had arrived in the road that lead up to the castle, she could have seen the freckled boy run into the castle, but she noticed a Sentinel standing at the gate waiting for her. Mana grit her teeth as the other one from before had continued to chase her, she narrowed her eyes at the both of them as she stood there. [color=8dc73f]"Let's make you two run into each other."[/color] Mana whispered to herself as the two sentinels had ran towards her quickly, when they were close enough to her, she jumped to the side so that the two could run into each other. [color=8dc73f][i]You can't stop such a massive weight quickly.[/i][/color] Mana thought to herself as she ran into the castle, and then running into the room that the others were in. Her robe had been ripped at the collar and around the stomach area, she panted as she rested against one of the walls in the room. There were also bruises in her neck and stomach from the damage that she received from the sentinel. [color=8dc73f]"Those eyes. They screwed it all up."[/color] Mana panted to them all.
