This is actually a second version I wrote. Pretty much the same as the first just a few minor changes.
Enjoy.
Chapter one
"Felix Hunter"
In this world living things are made of three parts each of which possess a unique power: power of the body, pieces; power of the soul, will; power of the heart; magic. Three realms exist, however, only one of them has unlocked all three of these powers. These three realms are the Realms of Light, Darkness, and Dawn. The Realms of Darkness and Light have always been at war with each other and recently the Light stands on top in this never ending struggle. The Realm of Dawn, however, has always had an internal battle as the power of Pieces is a dangerous and unpredictable one. Psychokinetic abilities granted to those with proper genes.
Those dwell in the Realm of Light have always believed that their cause to extinguish Darkness was just and at the epitome of this cause stood a young man around the age of sixteen. His chocolate brown hair completely defied the law of gravity pointing in every direction possible. His eyes were deep cerulean blue. He wore mostly black including a short sleeved hood jacket, fingerless gloves, a black shirt with a large front pocket, and baggy, black shorts. On his feet was a pair of oversized yellow shoes. The skin on his face, however, had a large un-ignorable bluish purple bruise on it. Its shape was hardly debatable and could easily be described as a fist.
Next to the "hero of light" stood a boy at least five inches taller than the former. His aqua marine eyes were partly covered by his long silver hair which went down to just below his shoulders. He had on long blue jeans. On his upper body he had a black zip up shirt which was slightly unzipped at the bottom. Over this shirt was a fully unzipped jacket which was white on the outside and yellow on the inside visible only at the collar where the jacket folded open. This jacket was stained red along with the boy's face. Starting at his nose there was a fresh stream of blood dripping down over his mouth and off of his chin.
There was a girl standing in front in of the pair. The look her face was more frustrated than concerned. Her indigo eyes glared at the two. Unlike them she was completely unharmed. The pink outfit and hood she was wearing did not have so much as wrinkle in them. He auburn was as perfectly straight as it had been when she left home that morning. However, she did not that upon leaving her home that day her already incredible life was about to take a drastic turn.
The three of them were on the beach of a small island when compare to its neighbors. This island had many wooden constructs in its trees complete with bridges connecting each of them. Behind the two boys was a bent palm tree with shaped fruits.
She looked the pair she was facing dead the eyes and asked them a very straight forward question, "Why? Why wouldn't you let me fight!"
There were unclear looks between the pair that the question was directed to. A few tense seconds passed which for both of the parties felt hours until the silver haired boy with bloody nose spoke with a very direct answer, "Because it was too dangerous. You saw what she could do; she would've killed you if she'd gotten her hands on you."
The auburn haired now looked angry rather than frustrated, "Oh! She snaps a few trees and suddenly I become the damsel in distress." She pointed her hand to a palm tree that had been snapped in two. The base was still in the ground but the rest of it was lying on the sand.
The spiky haired boy finally spoke up after his eyes paid a visit to the snapped tree "I think what he was trying to say was that we just wanted you to be safe. If she was able to do that" the boy then pointed to the destroyed tree "with just a plain kick. Who knows what else she could do."
"That's why you should've let me help you. I know I'm not as strong as you, but I still would've have been able to help." The image of their attacker then reverberated in her head. A girl, fourteen at the most, stood imaginarily in front of her. On her head was a large, light blue sun hat with a blue ribbon tied around it. Her eyes were a somewhat dark shade of pink with a piercing and apprehensive look in them. Her hair was a deep brown and wavy. Some fell down through her hat and onto her forehead. The length of her hair was half down her back. She wore a yellow shirt with one white sleeve on her left arm the hand of which was on her hip. Her right arm was full visible and hanging completely loose. She was wearing blue jeans that fell almost to the bottom of legs that comprise a good portion of her height. Her most distinctive feature was on upper right arm. A tattoo was there its center piece being a bright yellow, five pointed star. On each of the points there was a smaller star their colors in clockwise order being green, blue, violet, red, and orange. At the center of the large star was grey spiral. This was the girl who had the pair in front of the auburn haired girl had fought and lost to.
She questioned the words she had just spoken. She had only been one real fight against a group of black yellow eyed creatures that were low on the totem pole in their ranks. However, her drive to prove herself useful in her own eyes made the words come out of her mouth.
"Well either way, we still have no idea who that was or what she wanted." The silver haired boy said attempting to change the subject somehow. Though the girl caught this, however, she said nothing of it seeing as it was something they could not ignore forever. "All she did was take pictures of our Keyblades then beat crap out of us." The spiky hair boy nodded at this.
After roughly half an hour of discussing it was decided that the island trio should visit the place known as Radiant Garden. Here they would see if its inhabitants knew anything of the girl they had just faced or the tattoo on her arm.
Pieces
Four months had passed since that day on the island. Within two weeks of those four months the auburn haired girl made a decision which may have changed or cost her life. All the two boys knew of this was a note that had been left for them reading:
Dear Sora and Riku,
You will always have watched out for me since the day I first arrived at the islands. You even travelled to different worlds going so far as to turn to darkness or turn into a heartless for me. I will always love and appreciate both of you from very bottom of my heart. However, there has always been this been part that wanted to get stronger to prove to myself how strong I was. I know will this will seem really selfish and will make you worry but I've decided to go on a journey on my own through the realm of dawn. Within the time since this whole thing started, we've lots of amazing things and I'm sure there are plenty more out there. It's weird, huh. Things like light and darkness always determined how a person should live. But I think in a place like that power will be power. Some people prefer peace, while others will go to extreme lengths for what they consider to be "good." Everyone has something they believe and I want to find mine to. So for now I'm discarding the title Princess of Heart. Please don't come looking for me. I promise I'll come back when I feel I'm ready. I hope you will understand.
She did not leave a signature she assumed it would be unnecessary. She thought about that note as she ran. "Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"The words kept racing through her mind streaking down the corridor. The entire hall was built of red and black metal. Her feet clanked every time they hit the floor. The auburn haired girl was wearing a navy blue jacket over a dark green shirt. The blue skirt that covered her lower area blew around her thighs as the roar of an engine pelted her ear drums. The girl came to a stop at door that automatically opened when she came up to it and ran inside faster than the wind. She stepped out of the door way and slid down wall to the immediate left. Her breaths were deep, loud enough to be heard across the room. Beads of sweat rolled down her face dripping onto her shirt and jacket. Through the wall she could hear the engines of her pursuers pass by the room. Her heart beat stopped for a moment. The floor beneath her shook ever so slightly from the noise. Within a few seconds the noise was gone. The floor stopped shaking and her heart beat pounded louder than ever.
Though her pursuers had given up there hunt for her, she knew her life was not safe yet. Outside she could hear the battle she had inadvertently gotten involved in. Gunshots rang through the air along with many other sounds some of which she could describe some she could not. She distinctively heard sound of people screaming in agony. However, what truly had her attention were the sounds she could not describe. Some of could be compared to lighting, while others to some type energy wave. "Pieces, almost everyone I've seen in this world has one. Some can hardly do anything, while others can level entire cities. This is insane I tried to the right thing and this is what I get."
As these thoughts ran through her head she took her first real look at the room she was in. Unlike the metallic hallway the room was styled to be some type of lounge. There were three bright red couches, one in the center and other two facing each other. In the middle of them was a glass coffee table with magazines spread on top and the remote for what appeared to be a TV built into the wall. As the girl wandered around the room she came across a white refrigerator. Running around a large structure filled with super-powered soldiers and large menacing machines would make anyone hungry. She reached out grabbed the handle and gave it simple pull but, the door would not budge. "Come on damn it" the girl said as she pulled harder on the door. It was at this time she decided to use thing that had brought this far.
A bright flash of light appeared in her hands. At first it was nothing more than a flash; however, it quickly took shape. In her hand there was teal colored hilt of a sword. Attached to at the top it was a long shaft, yellow at the bottom but change to red at the top giving it the appearance of the sunset; the bottom had a red ribbon with a star shaped fruit at the end. On one side of the teal hilt there was what appeared to be crashing waves. On the other side there was vine that curved out like the waves but when it returned to the hilt it crawled up the shaft. When the vine nearly the top it left the shaft and turn into a bouquet of multi colored flowers. This was her Keyblade: Destiny's Embrace.
Upon summoning her strange weapon the auburn haired girl stepped a few feet back pointing at the refrigerator's lock. She then looked up at the food holding machine and noticed it had gone from a pure white to a morbid magenta. From the shadow she had cast, she concluded that something was emitting light from directly behind her. The girl spun around to see a large double door cabinet on the other side of the room with the ghastly light pouring out of it. She brought her weapon up to a defensive position in her right hand as the cabinet began shaking. This shaking continued until the one thing the girl had prayed would not come out did.
"Found ya!" This voice along with the sound of the cabinet being blasted apart sent girl's finally calmed heart beat racing again. A young boy easily shattered the cabinet and jumped across the room fifteen meters. He slid to a stop standing upright. "Ya know, if you'd just come quietly we wouldn't have to do this the hard way." The boy grabbed her by the collar and pinned her to a wall. "See, I'm the type of guy who likes to keep his reputation the way it should be. My reputation is that of someone who can get anything anywhere. So, are ya gonna come quietly or are ya gonna scream and run around some more?"
After all of the sudden movement, the girl he was questioning finally had a good look at him. His height would make you think he was fourteen but the rest of him argued that point. Caramel brown hair spiked out of his head mostly moving to his right. Some of it spiked forward off the sides of his head protruding a little bit onto his face. The locks of brown also fell half way down his back. While straighter than the ones on his head, these hairs still retained the tendency to form into spiked bundles. His torso was incredibly shocking when compared to his age. Each of the muscles was incredibly well sculpted, defined individually against his slightly tanned skin. His arms spoke the same testimony fully visibly in sleeveless, unzipped sky blue jacket. On both forearms were braces made of a black metal going one-third of way up the forearm. Both were covered in cone shaped metal spikes one of which was in front the auburn haired girl. The majority of his legs were covered by blue jeans which fell slightly below his knees. Strapped to his right leg was a large black pouch that seemed to be completely empty. His eyes particularly caught the girl attention. The look in them was reminiscent of a cruel warrior who slaughtered innocent people for fun. The color, among many other of his facial features, was strikingly similar to the girl whose image had been thoroughly burned into her mind.
"Felix! You fuckin' moron!" The auburn haired girl looked back to where the cabinet once stood. In its ruble was a girl with short orange hair not even reaching her shoulders. The green tank top she was wearing was stained red with blood. There was a large hole in her shirt were the blood seemed to have originated but, there was no sign on her exposed skin a wound had ever been made. Her blue jean hot pants also traces of blood on it. Across her back was a set of tan straps linking onto her shoulders. These straps had a pair of twin pistols set into holsters. Brown army boots were fully laced up on her feet. Her eyes were a deep violet filled with rage toward her supposed friend. She apparently had coughed blood up, as there was some on her chin. "A piece of wood got jammed into my stomach. That hurts like hell!"
Felix turned around looked at her with a cocky smile before responding. "Ah come on, Izzy. You and I both know a few holes aren't enough to kill ya." Isabel simply sighed while walking over to the pair across the room realizing that arguing would do no good seeing as she was perfectly okay. Felix turned backed to the sixteen-year-old with auburn hair. "OK, back to business. First, where can I get one these weird swords? Second, what's your name? I forgot"
When Felix turned around, the auburn haired girl noticed something written on his jacket. His long hair covered some type of black flaming image above but the words in large, fire red letter were plainly visible. They said "Black Phoenix."
The girl giggled to herself as she tried to regain the composure she had lost a moment ago, "Well in order, I don't think you'd be able to use a keyblade," Felix huffed at this statement then a looked that said 'continue.' "And, my name Kai…" Something in the back of her head told her not to say her real name "Um, Umihana."
The look on Felix's face matched his words perfectly. "You suck at lying. Oh well. Not like really care about your name is to begin with. Well, whether you like it or not you've now joined our merry of now six."
Umihana gave a confused look, "Six, where are the other three?" She was sure that they were the only ones in the lounge.
Isabel stepped up from behind Felix and gave something of an explanation, "Those three are either A: hiding somewhere in this ship or B: going at it with the imperial soldiers."
Felix chuckled at this comment, "Personally I'd go with B. We'd be fighting ourselves but I got hungry so, we came in here." He then turned to the refrigerator "that's when you ran in here with those droids hot on your ass." He reached out his right hand and gripped the handle.
Umihana sighed, "Here my Keyblade can…" It was then that she heard the sound of steel being broken. To her shock the refrigerator was now wide open, all its contents accessible with Felix's hand still on the door handle. The sound of metal clanking as it landed on the floor, amazing Umihana. The fourteen-year –old boy had destroyed the lock with force alone. That was when things went from amazing to scary.
The moment Felix opened the refrigerator was the moment the empire realized they were there. A loud whirring alarm and voice spoke over the intercom, "ATTETION ALL SOLDIERS, 'THE CROW' FELIX HUNTER, ONE OF HIS ACCOMPLISES, AND THE ESCAPED PRISONER HAVE BEEN LOCATED IN THE FIFTH LEVEL LOUNGE ROOM. ALL AVAIBLE UNITS MOVE IN IMMEDIATELY! I REPEAT…"
"Ah shit" was all that Felix said as he continued to stuff food into the large pouch on his pants.
"Estupido! How can you think about food at a time like this!" Isabel screamed at him. Felix just kept on grabbing food tossing a few pieces into his mouth.
"Calm down, I've got it covered. Who the fuck puts an alarm in a fridge anyway?" Having already stuffed the pouch full with most of the food in the refrigerator, Felix let go of Umihana and sauntered over to roughly the center of the room. Umihana was once again amazed. This time by both how much Felix managed to fit in his pouch while still retain its original size and shape and by how calm he could be in this type of dire situation.
Felix's hair then started to move around strangely. Out of it came a black bird roughly three inches in length. The small bird quickly flew out of Felix's hair and flapped around him briefly before landing on his outstretched arm. During its time in the air the crow seemed to have grown, going from three inches to at least eight. The bird then looked at its master and said "You're a dumbass, caw!"
"Ya wanna say that again huh, Worc!"
"Dumbass, dumbass, dumbass caw!"
"Say shouldn't we be more worried about the soldiers," Umihana finally spoke up after listening to the boy and his bird. The engines of their droids and the roar of their feet could now be plainly heard as the imperial soldiers closed in on the small lounge
"We'll settle this later bird!" Felix shouted as he raised his right leg straight up. On the foot of this leg, a magenta light glowed turning into a similarly colored sphere of energy surrounding the foot. "Isabel! Umihana! You two better get ready." Out the magenta sphere a cylinder began. When the cylinder reached its peak it took the shape of something comparable to an even sided toeless foot.
"Holy shit caw!" was what Worc shouted as he shrank back to three inches and flew into Felix's spiked hair.
Felix smiled as he looked towards Umihana "By the way, don't think I have any obligation to save your life 'cause I don't." Felix could hear soldiers shouting orders in the corridor outside ready there. He smiled even wider; "Vector Crush!" was the shout Felix gave as he slammed his foot into the ground. His own incredible physical strength combined with the momentum provided by his Vector was more than enough to cause the floor beneath him to give way instantly. The sudden gap in the area's distribution of weight cause the entire lounge to collapse dropping everything to the level below.
Their fall was roughly fifty meters. Felix and Isabel landed with grace. Felix seeming skied on air skating in the sky as though he were on ice. To Umihana's surprise, Isabel cast the "Slow" spell on herself letting her gently float down to the floor. Umihana, however, unable to slow her descent simply crashed into floor. She stood up but was sore in quite a few places. She looked around still dazed to see that they had fallen into corridor similar to the one she ran into the lounge from, except this was much larger.
"That Piece, it can't be. Vector?" Umihana thought in her haze.
When Umihana fully came to her senses she noticed a force that reminded her of events of her past. Events that made her leave the island alone to become stronger, to find herself. She turned her head and ten meters to the left stood a figure at least an inch taller than Felix. His skin was a rich brown and his hair was braided into dreadlocks. He had on a crimson red button up shirt the top two buttons of which were undone revealing a little bit of his chest. His sleeves were rolled up to just below his elbows and the shirt was completely untucked. He was wearing a pair of loose fitting blue jeans and like Felix had a pouch on his right leg his being green instead of black. A pair of red head phones with a 'B' on each side was around his neck. On his right hip were two empty katana sword sheaths. One was black with red circles running down its full length and the other was white with green circles. Each of his hand had one corresponding sword in it. In the left the blade was pure white so that it would blend in flawless with the snow. In his right hand the blade was as black as night. "Fuckin' great way to drop in, Felix," the boy said putting the black blade over his shoulder. His forest green eyes then strayed over to where Umihana was gazing intently at him. He then smiled, "I see, you're the one fat cat was goin' on about. Don't worry, I'm not interested in ruling the universe or anything. It'd be annoying to manage that many people."
"Yo, Jake, what're ya talkin' about?" Felix asked before he turned to two more familiar faces running down the corridor
"Guys, let's go! Soldiers, guns, robots, death!" The voice had come from a blond furred fox with a white underbelly. On its head was a pair of black rectangular goggles.
"Duffie! Simone!" Felix shouted.
Running next to the fox, a little ahead actually, was a girl with brown skin. Her hair was wavy and snow white. It fell down even longer than Felix's going well past the half way point on her back. Underneath her hair she wore a long sleeved black jacket which she left unzipped revealing a dark purple shirt that cut off a few inches below her breasts showing everything down to her waist. On her belly there were white tattoo like markings that appeared to be a type of ancient language. From then on she black Capri pants on covering most of her legs. She had on a pair of open toed heels on her feet. On her face was a pair of square glasses. On her back was a spear the length of which was at least her own height. The blade at the end was rectangular flatting at the edges for sharpness and coming to a point for stabbing.
Simone and Duffie came to a stop a few feet away from Felix standing on top of what was once a piece of lounge "Alright, Felix, we got our target right?" Simone said as she jumped down off of the rumble. When walked up to him she was at perfect eye level unlike Isabel who had to look up a bit. "And she doesn't look happy." She looked dead at Umihana upon saying this.
"We can do introductions later," Jake walked over holding at his side both of his swords. "Right now, we've got company." The swordsman looked up were the ceiling used to be. There stood multiple soldiers in red and black uniforms a few with rifles aimed at the young group. However, most of them were prepared to descend down armed with swords, clubs and other such weapons. "Great, some weird cat controlling black creatures and the empire on our ass. So much for a day trip."
Umihana looked at Jake with a surprised expression. "Could she have really followed me this far?" She looked around as the group quickly found themselves surrounded on all sides. The soldiers the talking fox had warned about had arrived all but a few barehanded ones were armed.
Felix sighed as he looked at the enemy forces all of whom were preparing to strike. "Alright guys let's split this." A smile appeared on his face. "Me and Izzy will take the ones above. Jake you take what's-her-face," Felix pointed to Umihana who looked just plain insulted, "And handle the ones to my left; Simone and Duffie the right. Sound like plan?"
The orders had barely left Felix's lips, when a proud shout came from the soldiers "In the name of the Faltian crown! In the name of the Faltian crown!" The battle cry escaped their lips as they charge at the group.
Two magenta spheres formed around Felix's hands. Arm like vectors shot out of the spheres and flew back up to what was left of the room he had previously destroyed. They grabbed to the floor got a tight grip as Isabel grabbed on to Felix's neck with her left arm and pulled out one of her pistols with the other. The silver metal fit comfortably in her hand as it had been custom made for her. A metallic click was heard by her spiky haired companion as the pair began their ascent.
The opposition immediately began their assault. Within the first few meters the pair had were showered with gunshots as the soldiers unloaded their rifles. Isabel quickly returned fire. She fired what seemed to be random shots at the ring above them. Her bullets were strange to most viewers. All of them had an eerie, silver glow to them as though they had been amplified by some strange, outside force. Each of them was a perfect dead accurate hit. Blood could be seen being ejected out the soldier's bodies as each bullet connected dropping their weapons as they fell.
Felix grunted in pain. Up above a pair of soldiers was stepping on the vector hands Felix had sent up to the room. One the hands let go fell down back to its owner. Felix stopped the retraction mid-way and the vector fell limply to his side. Still flying upward at least thirty meters high, Felix smiled and balled his hand into a fist. His limp vector responded becoming a fist as well. The boy then threw the fisted vector upward at incredible speeds. "Vector Fist!" escaped Felix's lips just before contact was made. The feeling of the soldiers face being rearranged surged through Felix's hand as blood splattered across the destroyed lounge's floor. Within seconds he and Isabel were standing in the spot the now unconscious soldier did.
They stood surrounded by soldiers not paying much attention to the orders that were shouted. The two of them high fived and prepared themselves to fight Isabel pulling out her second pistol. Without thinking twice she fired them simultaneously at two soldiers who had charged her with swords. They fell to the ground and she fired at different angles landing shots on the soldiers.
Felix focused his attention on the droids that had been chasing Umihana. There were four in all each fifteen feet tall. On each of their chests there was a shield insignia black on one side red on the other. There was a black or red griffon facing each on their counterparts color. In between the griffons there was a seven pointed star with a crown at the top. They fired at Felix who took full advantage of the close quarters. He moved around the soldiers using them as shields rather than charge straight at it. When he got close to one of them he threw a punch at the crest knocking it over and leaving a huge dent. Felix wrapped his Vectors around it swung it around crashing into the soldiers and the other droids. They were damaged but not destroyed. He pulled the one he had grabbed close and smashed his fist into its chest ripping out a blue cylindrical tube that he quickly pocketed it.
Isabel pressed her gun against the chest of a soldier shooting through him and hitting someone else. She holstered her own pistols, took the rifle one of the soldiers had been holding, and began firing amplifying the bullets with magic. Soldiers were being mowed down quickly until on stabbed Isabel from behind with a rapier. She dropped the rifle and threw a kick to the man's stomach. "Well, ain't that an inconvenience." She said pulling her pistols back out.
Pieces
Down below, Jake and Umihana charged straight at the throng of soldiers they assigned to defeat. Above the enemies, towered large human like machines armed with machine guns and an arsenal of other firearms. Each of the droids took aim at the intruder and escapee and rained bullets at them along with the soldiers. Jake had no problem dealing with them avoiding well over half and the ones could not dodge he sliced at with his two katana. Umihana had a much harder time than her current captor. Her Keyblade barely serve as a shield to her and unlike Jake she could not see the bullets coming. Jake quickly realized her plight began to run directly in front her drastically lessening the bullets coming her way.
For them and the soldiers, the charge felt like an eternity, but in reality only twenty seconds had gone by. Jake jumped into the air upon reaching the frontline and flew at the foremost droid. He raised both his katana into the air over his head as a black energy surged out of his hands and into the swords. The black blade disappeared into cloud of darkness whereas the white seemed liked it been surrounded on all sides. "Dark Falls!" Jake, now directly above the droid, brought both swords down arching his back in process. Two condensed black waves o f energy came out of the blades, falling down upon the machine. At the point of contact with floor a shockwave was created that knocked any soldiers unfortunate to be near by flying, crashing into their comrades. The droid then split into three. The left and right sides fell down ending up on top of a few soldiers. Middle section dropped onto ground. When Jake's descent began, he prepared his next attack targeting two droids taking aim at him. One-fourth of the way down, Jake unleashed two more black slashes. "Dark Rush!" as he so aptly named it flew out at the droids slicing them both in two at waist. Both attacks went clean through and ended up hitting soldiers behind them.
Upon reaching the half-way point of his descent, Jake felt an agonizing pain course throughout his body. For moment his whole body glowed with a whitish-blue color except for his eyes which lit up into a lighter shade of green. His plannned course through the air thrown off, Jake found himself right in front of a remaining droid. The electricity finally subsided and his eyes stopped glowing. "Memorized" was uttered as Jake brought his white sword back and proceeded to slice through his current opponent. The swordsman kicked off the top half of the droid propelling him back into and over to the last one remaining. Whoever attacked with the electricity a moment ago decided to try again. This time Jake's eyes started glowing again. "Cancel: Static Build Up." The orb of electricity disappeared to the horror of its owner and Jake continued on his flight unimpeded. As he came up on the final droid, Jake crossed his swords into an X, black over white. For a moment he disappeared from sight. An instant later he reappeared on the opposite side of the group of soldiers a black X appearing on the last droid leaving it in four pieces. Jake re-sheathed his swords saying "Wow, that was highly disappointing," with a smile on his face.
On the other side of the group, Umihana was having a more difficult time at it. Not having nearly as much combat experience as Jake, she often times found herself at a loss for her next move. To make matters worse, she found it impossible to ignore the amount of darkness her companion was exhuming. She could not help but to notice that it was different than any other darkness she had felt. It had lurid calmness to it similar to his so far seen personality and no sinister evil in it either. It was almost natural Jake had it. However, there was something eerily familiar about it.
After escaping this short thought, Umihana found herself surrounded by imperial soldiers. She quickly remembered the best close ranged technique she could use. "Fira!" was her choice and on queue a four large fire balls ignited around her and began to swirl in circles in close proximity. The soldiers who were attacking her were blown back and burned by the spell and others stood back in awe. One of them became bold and charged with a double blade axe. To make it even more intimidating the axe caught fire along with both arms. Umihana brought Destiny's Embrace up to her head and shouted "Reflect." A honey-comb shaped barrier formed. Upon making contact with barrier, the axe man was sent hurtling backwards, landing near the remains of one of the droids. At that moment Jake arrived in the mob finally ready to give his partner back up. On his way there he had defeated many of the soldiers standing in his way.
Piece
At the other side of the corridor two figures stood poised for combat. Simone had her spear in her right hand the entirety of which was ignited. Her left hand, both feet, and the end of her snow white hair all burned in an ominous purple flame. Despite the fact that her body was on fire the air around her was rather cool and falling in temperature.
Next to her a curly, blond haired boy who was much shorter than his companion, stood nervously. His orange eyes gave him an ever downcast look no matter how happy he was. His shaking hands were completely covered by an orange polo shirt with sleeves too long for him. His quivering legs were covered to the knees by khaki shorts with large pockets in them. On his head were black rectangular goggles. "You know, with how strong you are you could take out all these guys by yourself." He slowly took a step back towards the ruble. He then took a look at the four droids they were faced with. "Even those droids wouldn't stand chance against you. So how about I just hang out and watch by the mess Felix made."
Simone's left hand, no longer on fire, picked the now turned around boy up off his feet by the collar and dropped him down in front of herself. "Duffie, how about you take of droids and I handle the soldiers. Machines are your specialty, right?" She re-ignited her hand and ran at incredible speed to the crowd of soldiers
Duffie finally conceded rolling up his left sleeve fully exposing his fore arm. At first sight the arm seemed completely normal. That is when a ten by ten centimeter rectangle outline appeared on it. The rectangle began to jut out of his arm being held up by two small six inch long poles. A holographic screen appeared and words saying "Forced system interface commencing" were on it. Within a second "Interface complete" appeared on the screen and image of what seemed to be a droid's system status appeared posthaste. Duffie gave a sly smile as one of the droids began to act strangely. Its movements began to jeopardize the soldiers that were near. The droid then pulled out a machine gun and began firing on one of its own. The optical lens that was mounted at what seemed like its head was blown to bits and shrapnel fell all around it.
All the while, Simone had been going head-to-head with the soldiers. Many found themselves with severe burn wounds having received fiery kicks and punches from the white haired girl. At times some of them made an attempt to strike at her from air. At those times Simone swiped her spear in the cutting her attacker and leaving them burned. That is when the soldiers made an attempted attacking from all sides. "Ardente murum!" was her cry as a circular wall of purple flames surging out of the floor surrounded her. The soldiers attempting their pincer attack were engulfed in fire and collapsed on the ground covered in burns. The metallic ground actually felt rather comfortable being extremely cool with little patches of ice forming on it.
The machine Duffie had taken over completed its task of eliminating its counter parts before shutting down. The screen in the blonds' arm began to show the building structure and calculate the quickest escape route as Simone continued her ravaging of the enemy.
Back in the lounge Felix and Isabel were just about finished with the force they had previously fled from. Worc flew over head keeping a safe distance away from the battle. Felix had thoroughly destroyed the droids he faced putting them in a condition that was far beyond repair. The few remaining soldiers were facing Isabel who had the rapier removed from her and was holding the pistol in her left hand straight at them. "May St. Mary have grace on your souls," Just then the barrel of her gun began to glow a white light. "Bala de Plata" she said as she pulled trigger. One of the soldiers gave one last battle cry and attempted to charge at the female gunman with his sword. By the time he got his first foot forward he had been hit by one of the multiple magic bullets that had been simultaneously fired. His blood flew out of his stomach and spilled onto the floor beneath. It was same result with his two comrades.
With Isabel's threat of St. Mary, quite a few of them were actually dead or dying. She made no attempt to miss the vital points. Felix had made little effort to hold back himself shattering bones and rupturing organs. It was the same with the rest of the group. They showed no mercy or concern for their opponents only seeking to finish them off. Especially Isabel who seemed to enjoy making others suffer.
Seeing as there was no one left to fight Felix, Isabel, and Worc all headed back down to the lower level. This time the pair did not bother with slowing their descent. Felix hit ground making a loud thud upon doing so; he seemed completely unfazed by the powerful impact. Isabel's drop did not end in a thud so much as a crack. She landed directly on her feet; however, her body was not as sturdy her friend's and she ended up breaking her own legs. "Fuck, maybe that wasn't such a good idea", she said as plopped down onto her butt.
She winced in pain as she straightened the bones in her legs. Felix found her situation quite laughable, "Ha! And you say I'm a dumbass" he said between chuckles.
By the time the pair had made their entrance, the rest of the group were standing at the pile of rubble. Duffie was still working on his arm computer when a bright light began to shine from area he and Simone fought their group of soldiers. Everyone looked over as the light became even larger. There was a spiral hatch opening itself revealing the light of the sun. Once the hatch was fully opened the group gazed out at the blue sky wondering why it would so suddenly. "You're welcome" Duffie said with an arrogant smile.
As the group stared at sky, the sound of a jet engine roared throughout the large corridor which they now realized was an indoor launch pad. At the side Jake and Umihana had fought came an airship. They cockpit was made out of glass, hyper compressed for safety. There were four engines. Two on the back end and two mounted on the sides. It was painted the empires tradition red and black with shield insignia on the underbelly.
"Did you really it would be that easy?" A voice said from the ship. The ship landed next them whipping up a gust as it did so. Its landing gear hit the floor with a clank. Out of its underbelly a hatch was let down revealing a staircase into the cockpit. Out of came one soldier much more decorated the others. "The Faltian Empire will not stand such insolence any longer. Felix Hunter, you have been thorn in our side for far too long. Destroying Imperial, attacking Imperial military bass, aiding enemies of the state; for these crimes you under arrest. Come quietly and you all will receive proper executions."
"Fuck you." Felix held up the middle finger.
"Fine then. Behold the power that will be your demise! This Piece has leveled Corpse Climbers from across the universe, struck terror in the hearts of rebels! You will not stand a chance against the overwhelming might of…"
"Shut the fuck up!" Felix delivered a powerful upper cut to the man's chin sending him flying in the opposite direction. "What the hell were ya tryin' to do sell us the damn ability or what?" Isabel was the first the climb in the ship the soldier had left behind her legs having recovered from her fall. She was followed by Felix, Duffie, Simone, and Jake. Felix popped his head out and looked at Umihana. "Ya realize if ya stay you're gonna be thrown jail for life. Bein' seen with us tends to make people seem like the bad guys as far as Faltia is concerned." Umihana still did not move. "Again with the hard way." Felix threw his Vector at her grabbed her by her collar and pulled her in with little effort.
Umihana stood back up as the hatch closed to the airship closed. The interior was rather nice looking. There were eleven cushioned sheets counting the pilot's. Over each seat there was a compartment for weapons, luggage and other such things. The floors were the same color metal as the corridor's that being black.
Felix attempted to take the wheel but Jake grabbed by the shoulder and tossed him out the seat, "If you fly, we'll die looking like idiots," was his explanation. He set his katana down on the left side of the seat and got a grip on the wheel. A holographic screen came on in front of asking if he wanted manual or auto pilot mode. Jake chose manual.
Outside the engines came to life again as the ship slowly lifted off the ground. The landing gear returned to its hidden location by the time Jake centered the craft within the corridor. Everyone had sat down in a seat preparing for their departure. Jake hit the throttle and caused the airship the careen down the corridor into the sky. Jake flew straight forward not taking time to look back at the massive warship they had just escaped.
"Hey, check out what grabbed in that fight." Felix pulled the tube he ripped from the droid. Everyone except Isabel and Umihana turned pale upon. The ship immediately increased in speed. "What the big deal. It doesn't look that important."
"Felix, that part is an AR series AMP core antimatter/matter reaction stabilizer!" Duffie shouted in terror. Umihana quickly realized the situation.
"Uh, that sounds important."
"Felix, you do realize what happens when an AMP core becomes unstable, right?" Jake asked with caution in his voice.
Felix thought for a moment. "Oh… Floor it!"
Pieces
One of the surviving soldiers from the lounge crawled over to droid that Felix removed the stabilizer from. A bluish light came from the hole as the man was looked on in horror. A field of energy blew him back before he reach his com-link preventing him from warning his comrades. Either way it was too late.
Pieces
Umihana and her current captors looked back as an explosion engulfed the majority of the warship destroying the engines and almost everything that was not in the main command center. What was left of the ship began to fall through the clouds leaving a fading trail of smoke as it did.
"What have gotten us into?" Umihana thought as she saw the airship fall to planet below.
