The wait for the other knights were also as long as you could probably expect. But when the cavalry arrived, he couldn't hide his tense joy at the sight of the men and women in medieval armor. 

The one in context arriving at the drawbridge was a girl with long black hair, cladding in black armor and wielding two very large lances, a bit oversized for someone like her. And she appeared to be riding on a transparent dragon or something. Along with her are two more. They both landed on the bridge where the group are meeting at. 

[color=ed1c24]"That is..."[/color] Forte noticed the crossbow on Acion's hand

[color=fff257]"She handed it to me."[/color] He replied

The dragon-girl looked at him. Tensions still rushing through his body seemed to resurface. And she wouldn't blame him. Every seconds passing by, the chances of saving the victims would get a lot thinner. That was the train of thoughts going through every rescue mission. You can be one second late, and the regrets would be overwhelming. 

[color=ed1c24]"Listen kid. It is perfectly reasonable to worry. Hell, if my brother is in this situation, I would be too...But."[/color] She took a deep breathe and placed her hand on Acion's shoulder [color=ed1c24]"But you gotta trust your sister."[/color] 

Acion looked to Forte. 

[color=ed1c24]"She's the renowned Sky Defender, not a nameless hero. She will be fine. I know you are itching to go back there, but we'll have to tackle this with extra care."[/color] 

[color=fff257]"But-"[/color]

[color=ed1c24]"Believe me, she'll live."[/color]

Her eyes locked onto the young hero trainee, as calm as unnerving as steel. In her eyes, it was the utter and utmost trust in her comrades in arms. After all, she is a Sky Knight. Aurelia is a Sky Knight. And Acion will be too. And in a hero group operating under and upon the complete trust in your comrade's ability and skill, he knew he could not afford to be so careless. Wasn't that the same as arrogantly measuring your friends', allies', and your family's ability. Don't he trust them?

[color=fff257]"Alright..."[/color] 

[color=ed1c24]"Great. Keep it to yourself."[/color] She patted his shoulder, as she turned to the other members. [color=ed1c24]"Now that we're all here. We'll have to know what the hell is going on there? Firstly, how are we going to enter the area without risking them running away?"[/color] 

[color=6ecff6]"I'll take a look at the map."[/color] Albert said, taking a handheld map folded in his pocket.

[color=fff257]"I fought there for a while before having to retreat."[/color] Acion said as Albert was still busy opening the map. [color=fff257]"It's a ramen shop, with a bus slammed sideways into it. The real fight comes from the alley right next nearby. To the left of the ramen shop I think."[/color] 

[color=ed1c24]"Is it a one-entrance only alley?"[/color] Forte asked. 

[color=6ecff6]"Uhh, it says so on the map. The entrance is Izumo Avenue. Go further in and you'll meet a dead end."[/color]

[color=ed1c24]"So we can only enter from one entrance. Anything noticeable about it?"[/color]

[color=fff257]"Lots of smoke. I can't see anything inside. But I know there's at least two of them inside."[/color] 

[color=6ecff6]"Most of what we bring are long range shooters. How are we gonna deal with that? If we don't know where we're firing at, we can hit our allies as well."[/color]

[color=ed1c24]"Someone has to mark their locations."[/color] Forte looked at the short [url=https://sv.bagoum.com/getRawImage/0/0/sahaquiel]brown-haired girl[/url]. [color=ed1c24]"Sachi. Can you do it?"[/color] 

[color=a187be]"Yes ma'am."[/color] She replied softly

[color=6ecff6]"So."[/color] Albert pulled everyone together. [color=6ecff6]"We'll be splitting our group into three. Acion. You take Sachi into the alley to mark their location and create a diversion in the area. Me and Forte will take the vanguard. The rest of you, take your position to fire into the alley. Are we clear?"[/color]

"Yes sir!" All of them yelled in unison.

For the first time, the Komei trainee had a look at his first partner, first colleague, although temporarily, in his career. She looked like a very soft spoken girl, but had a pretty nice and fancy quirk with her. Nevertheless, as a fully-fledged Sky Knight, she was definitely a lot stronger than he was, and perhaps older as well. He offered her a quick handshake, in which she took it, initially hesitant. 

[color=6ecff6]"Before we go, we'll need to know what you are capable of. And you also need to know the vice versa. So listen carefully...[/color]

The girl didn't reply, seemingly too painful to respond. Aurelia paid attention to both Kaida and the surrounding area. Every cry and grunt gave her a barrage of anxiety that she might not make it. But what could she do? She looked perfectly fine from the outside. 

Then the blonde boy offered Aurelia to take care of Kaida, almost as if he was commanding her. As much as she was concerned, she should let her do it. Why? These kids are from Komei. They knew each other, and specifically their quirks, their weaknesses and vulnerability. So they should be able to do that. Right now, there are no pro heroes here other than her, apparently. So she should be at the forefront of the battle, not at the back. She had to trust them now to handle each other, and her brother to arrive shortly. 

The boy who she thought was holding himself began to be overwhelmed. She was about to rush to relieve the guy when this villain dashed at her, attempting to deliver knee strike. He was not that other guy she just fought. The attack was a bit of a surprise, but not completely. The pro hero simply placed her two hands firmly on her blade, raising it to combat ready stance, at chest level. When the attack came, she countered immediately with a forward kick aimed straight at his knee. Because she was able to counter such attack, she was able to see him trying to stab her with his sword. 

Dying now would just be an insult to her strength. 

Immediately, she rotated her blade, now the side of the blade facing towards Hades. When the tip of the katana reached her range, she moved slightly to the side, her two hands directing her own sword into the villain's blade as it passed through her. Aurelia ran her own blade across the side of the katana before ramming into the cross-guard of Hades's sword, the edge of the blade inches from his face. 

[color=fe9a2e]"Your kill count will not be low at all. It'll be non-existent."[/color] 

With that said, she suddenly changed the grip of her right hand. The blade was still in that position, but now her right hand is holding it in reverse grip. Then her left hand let go of the hilt, as she took a few adjusting steps. As fast as lightning, her right hand swung downward, like a pendulum, grinding the sharp edge of her blade into the cross-guard of her opponent's. Then she swung in the opposite direction, going for a reverse stab, aiming at his stomach.
