[i][u]Winter District - Rooftop to Rooftop[/u][/i] Music: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOQtf9oLIYY]Chasing You![/url] ???: (Alright, this is it.) As he was using his grappling hook to zip to another building, the man used something similar to the Warp Weapon Tech to summon a grenade launcher. He fired not at Tsuya, but at Nicholas and Mina. [img]https://i.imgur.com/4UGg4HO.png[/img] Mina: Incoming! [img]https://i.imgur.com/fPitE0o.png[/img] Nicholas: Wait, it's coming at us? Noticing the incoming grenade, they landed on a building. Nicholas froze the grenade in mid-air while Mina kicked it away. Suddenly, they saw a bunch of soldiers enter the place, surrounding the two before they could continue to give chase. [img]https://i.imgur.com/d3xmnYu.png[/img] Mina: The heck? These guys were waiting for us? [img]https://i.imgur.com/yTDIUuk.png[/img] Soldiers: Open fire! [img]https://i.imgur.com/C0vwHz5.png[/img] Nicholas: Tch! Nicholas rose a circular ice barrier that protected him and Mina from the incoming volley. Meanwhile, at the top of another building. ???: (I was really hoping not to do so much noise...but it can't be helped.) [img]https://i.imgur.com/xM5RK9o.png[/img] Tsuya: .... The man removed his disguise, showing his true face at last. [img]https://i.imgur.com/EdYlruX.png[/img] Trent: Just call me Trent...Just a small soldier fighting for a greater cause. [img]https://i.imgur.com/HhvXKPF.png[/img] Tsuya: If you call this greater cause, I don't even want to hear what you would think of a life-death situation. [img]https://i.imgur.com/asJe98C.png[/img] Trent: Trust me, I really didn't want this mess to escalate...but my partner had to kill that random student...It's really a nuisance... [img]https://i.imgur.com/FlRPEAh.png[/img] Tsuya: If you think it's so bad why did you shot her? Actually, screw your motives, I'm having my revenge right now. [img]https://i.imgur.com/NlGQgGu.png[/img] Trent: Heh...I like you already. Guess it was a good idea to continue with the plan. Now then...Mr. Abata He points the grenade launcher at Tsuya. [img]https://i.imgur.com/n1Ypszp.png[/img] Trent: I'm sure the others would be delighted about that attitude of yours. Actions speak louder than words after all. [img]https://i.imgur.com/KiR1yum.png[/img] Tsuya: Screw YOOOOOOOU!!! Trent shoots a sticky grenade, exploding the ground under Tsuya, making him fall on the floor below. He easily jumps back to the top of the building in anger, but Trent was nowhere to be seen. [img]https://i.imgur.com/v77qnt7.png[/img] Tsuya: STOP RUNNING FROM ME!!! He heard the sound of a grenade being shot at him. He looked behind then did a backstep in order to avoid it, but then, the grenade exploded, revealing a net. [img]https://i.imgur.com/UnCVBPv.png[/img] Tsuya: What? Even with the Berserk Psychic Aura, the net was big enough to cover Tsuya. [img]https://i.imgur.com/80NWUsh.png[/img] Tsuya: Is this supposed to be a joke? [img]https://i.imgur.com/asJe98C.png[/img] Trent: Not at all. You see, that net will electrocute you once I press this button. [img]https://i.imgur.com/KiR1yum.png[/img] Tsuya: Not going to do much if it can't touch me. Is this some kind of mockery? [img]https://i.imgur.com/EdYlruX.png[/img] Trent: Everything I do is coldly calculated. [img]https://i.imgur.com/HhvXKPF.png[/img] Tsuya: ... [img]https://i.imgur.com/ORegcRQ.png[/img] Trent: C'mon! This is what you want isn't it! Go on! Strike me down with all of your hatred! That's right, let's see some more! I believe in you! Kill me like a dog that I am for shooting your lover without a tint of remorse! [img]https://i.imgur.com/KiR1yum.png[/img] Tsuya: HAAAAAAAAA!!!! Tsuya's aura grew even larger, wanting to make sure his next attack would finally hit his mark. There was nothing on his mind right now other than avenging Jane. There was only Tsuya and his target, nobody to get in the way. He boy was ready to crush the man's entire body. [img]https://i.imgur.com/NlGQgGu.png[/img] Trent: Such strong emotions...They are part of what gives Psychic Users their strenght... "But might also be their fatal flaw." Music: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgZ73RXt3ak]Tensione[/url] [img]https://i.imgur.com/xJwJ2by.png[/img] Tsuya: !!! Suddenly, Tsuya felt his whole body giving out on him. He struggled to keep his own balance as well as keeping the berserk aura activated, but then, he noticed it was getting hard for him to breathe. Seconds later, his aura was completely gone, Tsuya was kneeling on the ground, gasping for air. [img]https://i.imgur.com/jRoYUpN.png[/img] Tsuya: What...did you... [img]https://i.imgur.com/n1Ypszp.png[/img] Trent: Me? I didn't do much. You did most of it. You were straining your mind too much by using your powers with that amount of anger...And it got into a point where your brain couldn't sustain your psychic powers any longer. You pushed it too far and now even your body was affected. Don't worry, movements will come back by tomorrow...but I guess you know where you'll be by then. [img]https://i.imgur.com/neBX086.png[/img] Tsuya: ... (Sorry everyone...I screwed up...) [img]https://i.imgur.com/NlGQgGu.png[/img] Trent: Now then...time to activate that electric shock I was talking ab- Before he could finish, he dodged an incoming attack from Barry. [img]https://i.imgur.com/RiSOtfn.png[/img] Trent: What? [img]https://i.imgur.com/mOBgfpn.png[/img] Barry: Seems like I did well in taking the longer route. [img]https://i.imgur.com/rGO8iej.png[/img] Trent: Tch...I knew I was being chased, but I wasn't sure how many gave chase... (By the time I noticed those two, I was already near the trap.) [img]https://i.imgur.com/YA9qLQj.png[/img] Barry: I take it you're just like your friend in terms of strenght...Since you needed a Hi-Tech grappling hook to outspeed Ancestor Mages. I'm willing to admit that it's impressive...but at this range, you won't escape from me. [img]https://i.imgur.com/KHsC2eF.png[/img] Tsuya: Ba...rry... [img]https://i.imgur.com/rC2d1dY.png[/img] Barry: Rest easy, This nightmare will be over soon. [img]https://i.imgur.com/asJe98C.png[/img] Trent: Say Mr. Bariand, you're not part of any group...are you? [img]https://i.imgur.com/9I9C5MM.png[/img] Barry: Why does it matter? I come from a family that helped this city once. I choose to protect this city with my soul, there's all there is to it. [img]https://i.imgur.com/rGO8iej.png[/img] Trent: Mage or not, you still need to be part of some defense group. The police is as unhelpful as possible in order to make Guild and the Holy Order's job harder...rarely requesting for backup when something big happens. No way they wouldn't even agree to the request to surround the school without it taking a long while. This operation of yours were done as soon as the rumors about the school's psychic user were spread. [img]https://i.imgur.com/EdYlruX.png[/img] Trent: The only way for this to occur as soon as possible... [img]https://i.imgur.com/ORegcRQ.png[/img] Trent: ...Was if someone from the military gave the aproval. I smell a rebellion!!! [img]https://i.imgur.com/Hosynq2.png[/img] Barry: ...Can't have someone like you hitting the mark like this... [img]https://i.imgur.com/EdYlruX.png[/img] Trent: Hehehehehe...Sometimes, I impress even myself. [img]https://i.imgur.com/YNoQPc4.png[/img] Barry: HAH!!! Barry lunges at his opponent, indending to finish him at once. Trent stomped hard the ground under him, making it fall since he was at the edge of the hole created by the previous explosion, avoiding Barry's attack. Knowing that he would likely pursuit, he set up sticky bombs near hi feet, then, used fired his grappling hook at a nearby wall as Barry descended. The ensuing explosion created yet another hole. Both sides couldn't see each other because of the cloud of dust. [img]https://i.imgur.com/NlGQgGu.png[/img] Trent: (I know he dodged that, but I need to stay as far away as possible in order to formulate a plan around his fighting style.) [img]https://i.imgur.com/kXWToDV.png[/img] Barry: (This one seems to be capable of using his tools to his full potential...and seems to be skilled into leading enemies to mistakes. Even if I'm stronger, I have to proceed with care...and do this fast. I'm sure an ally of his is heading towards Tsuya right now.) [i][u]Summer Area - Underground Base[/u][/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/NE45IGo.png[/img] Tatsuna: Here at last. [img]https://i.imgur.com/6nzNJ8I.png[/img] Sheila: So...this is their base... [img]https://i.imgur.com/tvNmVhX.png[/img] Carlu: Either they are focusing their forces on our friends or they left some others on guard. I'm sure Sheila's stunt had something to do with this. [img]https://i.imgur.com/EWVoanP.png[/img] Sheila: I needed some sort of solid confirmation...just blindly searching for a secret door would take too long. Music: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkQRy6egb2Q]Get Over It[/url] [img]https://i.imgur.com/TTUwce1.jpg[/img] Suddenly, Tatsuna held two incoming attacks from glaive soldiers. [img]https://i.imgur.com/x4zFP1O.png[/img] Tatsuna: Speaking of...confirmation... [img]https://i.imgur.com/ekx6e02.png[/img] Sheila: Tatsuna! [img]https://i.imgur.com/zbf7Eut.png[/img] Tatsuna: Go help the others, I can handle here... [img]https://i.imgur.com/IAyKuFO.png[/img] Carlu: No... Carlu drew his sword and dealt an horizontal strike to the glaive soldiers, who were forced to release their spears to escape him. [img]https://i.imgur.com/mjnrOkp.png[/img] Tatsuna: Whoa! [img]https://i.imgur.com/s6hxhtZ.png[/img] Carlu: (...They seem to know who I am...They didn't take any risks...knowing that I'm not completely powerless when it's my sister who is wielding the family's sword.) I'll be the one to take care of them. You two go on ahead. [img]https://i.imgur.com/xLyA81U.png[/img] Sheila: Right...be careful. [img]https://i.imgur.com/PcdJgvs.png[/img] Tatsuna: To make it easier for you...I'll be taking these- But then, the weapons were teleported back to their hands. [img]https://i.imgur.com/ehe7k35.png[/img] Tatsuna: EEEEEH? [img]https://i.imgur.com/ZddpJ0I.png[/img] Sheila: (Figures...That's how weapons tied to glaives works after all.) [img]https://i.imgur.com/IAyKuFO.png[/img] Carlu: Just go already! [img]https://i.imgur.com/AHxReeO.png[/img] Tatsuna: Okay! The girls heads towards the corridors, Carlu takes a stance and runs at the soldiers. [img]https://i.imgur.com/vJMxxnQ.png[/img] Carlu: I didn't fight for a while, so you two will be perfect for warm-ups! You'll see how fearsome I am even without my element to back me up! [img]https://i.imgur.com/yTDIUuk.png[/img] As the girls kept going, more soldiers stood in the way. They weren't using Compact Glaive armors however. [img]https://i.imgur.com/x4zFP1O.png[/img] Tatsuna: Out of the way! Tatsuna got between two soldiers and dealt strong punches to the side of their heads. The ones in front of her were ready to open fire, but all of a sudden, they noticed the ammo clips of the guns falling in the floor. Soldier: What? [img]https://i.imgur.com/YP2RxC6.png[/img] Tatsuna: Whoa! [img]https://i.imgur.com/NEHyJsw.png[/img] Sheila: HAAA!!! [url=https://youtu.be/3JfmVI3s4zw?t=41]Sheila pushed one soldier to the wall, then hit him with a jump kick to the head. That kick also served as a wall kick that propelled Sheila backwards. She quickly twisted her body in order to kick the other soldiers, knocking them on the ground.[/url] The girls were free to proceed. [img]https://i.imgur.com/WLHQfHy.png[/img] Tatsuna: I shouldn't be impressed...but wow. That was so cool Sheila. [img]https://i.imgur.com/z7Zt8m5.png[/img] Sheila: You should've figured out by now that I'm no ordinary homeless girl. [img]https://i.imgur.com/AHxReeO.png[/img] Tatsuna: Y-Yeah... (Seriously...what's with these sudden boosts of speed? Is she somehow faster than me?) They continued foward. Tatsuna was testing if she could still use her communicator. [img]https://i.imgur.com/PcdJgvs.png[/img] Tatsuna: Hello hello? Operator: Oh, it's Officer Tatsuna. Is this a status report? [img]https://i.imgur.com/ehe7k35.png[/img] Tatsuna: Wah!! T-That's right... (Wait, why is this working so perfectly? I thought they were still jamming the signal...It is as if they wanted us to invade...) [u]Fleeting Memories School - Entrance[/u] [img]https://i.imgur.com/i1ooNCV.png[/img] Tiane: What in the actual hell? There was supposed to be a shrine there! [img]https://i.imgur.com/VXwyd1A.png[/img] Theo: Tiane, hop on to me, we'll be going fast. [img]https://i.imgur.com/klfXUZb.png[/img] Tiane: A-Alright. Make it really fast! [img]https://i.imgur.com/Nsguj9B.png[/img] Theo: You're coming Kaori? [img]https://i.imgur.com/k7wK5MK.png[/img] Kaori: I guess...Not sure if I'm going to fight. [img]https://i.imgur.com/R24LQ5u.png[/img] Reeta: ...Take... [img]https://i.imgur.com/ESVYpRS.png[/img] Kaori: Take? [img]https://i.imgur.com/kuiWyOE.png[/img] Reeta: ...No...Nevermind...It's too dangerous if I go with you guys. [img]https://i.imgur.com/580pZ1z.png[/img] Kaori: ...I see... [img]https://i.imgur.com/2ZUGszq.png[/img] Reeta: I'll wait at the orphanage. Good luck out there guys. [img]https://i.imgur.com/8RpgMst.png[/img] Kaori: Okay... (That tone...She's worried about him...but at the same time...it seems like she's holding back something. It's even more pronounced than before.) Then, Theo, Tiaen and Kaori followed Xaizor to the Hakurei Shrine. [img]https://i.imgur.com/zPFFVNO.png[/img] Nanase: There they go... [img]https://i.imgur.com/evQ5oMy.png[/img] Andorina: I'm sure they'll all be safe. [img]https://i.imgur.com/4ezMnNf.png[/img] Reeta: Yeah... (I'm sorry Lucent...I just...can't bring myself to fight...) [i][u]Nightmare Unitita - Hakurei Shrine[/u][/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/Bec4xAF.png[/img] Rayla: (Kaito I can understand...but why Kiiragi is here too? And what are those two things floating near him?) There was no time for questions. While the others were taking care of the instruments, the conductor was by himself. Rayla got into battle stance. Her body started to glow with a blue magic aura. The girl was ready to take on the nightmare. [img]https://i.imgur.com/HYrLo1m.png[/img] Rayla: No way in hell I'm going to leave this guy unchecked, he might do something while the others are busy. Then, Rayla dashed foward like a rocket, ready to deal a punched charged with magic the moment she closed in.
