Chapter 13

Rana pov

I'd heard them following us for quite some time. I was sure Jet hadn't noticed them at all but when I heard them talking about stopping us I knew I needed to do something.

?: "Hey sweetheart is he really your type?"

There were five of them total. Four had been following us for a while but one had branched off several minutes before to box us in most likely. I couldn't see them per say but I knew exactly where they were by smell, magic, and sound. Jet suddenly grabbed my hand but I knew he made the situation that much worse. It made it seem like if they got him I'd be too weak to fight back but they were wrong.

The four that stayed behind us readied themselves before the fight began. The guy that called me out attacked first.

Guy#1: "GUNSMAGIC:TORNADO SHOT!"

I felt my body move without me wanting to onto Jet's back but I couldn't stop my face from touching his neck because of the speed at which he tossed me. He probably thought he could just carry me out of there. Before he had a chance to react the wind hit us and we went sprawling to the ground. I knew he was out cold from that hit plus touching me. The only good thing about this was I was powered up already. The magic I drained from him and the music I ate earlier was more than enough for me to defeat these guys.

I stood back up and brushed the dirt off of my clothes after my tumble. After scanning with my senses I realized these guys weren't worth more than one hit. They didn't have nearly enough magic to compete with me normally but now it would be all too easy.

Guy#2: "hey man she didn't go down."

Guy#1: "look at how tiny she is. She'll go down easy."

Guy#3: "I got a bad feeling 'bout this."

I called on my magic then.

Rana: "SIREN DRAGON:ROAR!"

The music notes crashed into the men knocking all but the man I'll call guy number three unconscious. After he stood back up he ran like hell.

Guy#3: "SORRY GUYS! I'll come back for yall!"

Behind me the last man that had branched off from the others started walking towards me. I could tell he was smaller than the others but his magic was at least a few times more powerful than the others combined. Had I been by myself I wouldn't have worried but with all the civilians in the neighboring buildings and Jet already taken out I was scared.

?: "Where's Wendy Marvel?"

Rana: "I don't know."

?: "then you're worth nothing."

I sensed he was about to attack and dodged with a centimeter to spare. I hadn't felt magic like that for some time. It reminded me of a woman I knew named Llorona with a similar magic that felt hungry like it would take a tiny bit and morph into some other type. I ran up the wall and jumped to hang on a nearby clothes line while using my magic to feel for water nearby when I flipped off of it.

?: "SAND REBELLION!"

I twisted midair to counter the strike before it hit but I ended up launching myself backward into a wall. I realized I left Jet behind after whoever this was had me cornered. The echos I heard told me I'd knocked myself into a dead end.

For any other mage a dead end would've been a bad thing but for me it was perfect. I stepped back to feel for a focal point in the air. If I could find one I could send an amplified sound blast that would take him out. I needed it to end this fight quickly so I could get back to Jet and make sure he was ok and make sure this wizard didn't mimic my power. When I felt it I ran to the spot.

Rana: "SIREN DRAGON: REVERB!"

The spell caused a soundwave to be ejected away from me and center on the last guy.

I felt his magic power vacate the air after the hit. It was over. He was definitely out cold. After that I went to find Jet. When I found him he was still knocked out on the ground. I almost felt bad for him getting hurt so quickly but there wasn't much he could've done anyways. unfortunately I had no idea how I was supposed to carry him back without touching him. Well shit that's lovely isn't it.
