Lina and I pull Amelia and Gourry behind a formation of rocks and begin to heal them respectively. The volley continues mercilessly on, and I see explosions rock the landscape as grenades are pelted downward at us. It is only a matter of time before we are reached.
Lina stands up, eyes ablaze with fire. "I'm tired. Tired of running, like a coward, from... From those bastards that killed my parents. I'll bring them down to hell with me!"
Before we can say or do anything, she flies off. "Raywing" Amelia and I say and we are in hot pursuit.
Lina is to fast, and has distracted the enemy's attention such that nothing is shot at us.
"Heed me now thou who is darker than dusk.
Heed thou which is more red than blood.
In the name of that which has been buried
In the bottomless abyss of time eternal,
I summon thee, master of the ultimate darkness.
Have no pity on the fools who stand in our way.
Infuse me with power, let your strength become mine.
To wipe them from the face of the earth,
To deliver unto them the ultimate doom!!!
Dragon Slave!!!"
The released energy of Shabranigdo wreaks havoc upon the army division upon which it was loosed. Those still clinging to life on the outskirts of the previously great regiment are wiped out almost casually with a Zelas Bleed and Gaav Flare. Tanks fire shells madly before being silenced by a Blast Bomb. Missiles miss Lina narrowly due to confusion, but direct Lina's attention towards the fighter jets, which are sliced in half by a Ragna Blade. Blast Ashes and a Dolph Zork destroy battalions of the naval fleet, clustered at a harbor half a mile away. A Dynast Breath destroys the command squad, and a passing scout patrol is zapped by a Dynast Brass.
Lina is not unscathed though, bleeding profusely. I can only watch in horror as she plummets 80 feet.
*If you're wondering why Lina didn't do this beforehand, well, she's been saving up, and plus, it
was that time of the month.
