Chapter. 32
As the world broke apart and turned to ash Levi stood be side a red and blue avatar, across from her were the two red avatars with a green. "Follow me!" Levi's team ran into a building for cover from the gunfire of the enemy reds.
Levi struck the walls with her staff, knocking down the building as her special meter filled. "Heat Raiser!" The tip of her staff lit up with a red, green, and purple light. The two avatars on Levi's side were set alight with the same colors. "Go get them!"
The red avatar drew a laser rifle and blasted away one of the other reds, the green moved to protect the remaining red but the blue leaped over the green and threw a dagger into the red's head. The green avatar faced the blue and was shot in the back my the red ending the battle.
The second fight began and Levi's next team were a green and a purple, ready to fight a metal, a blue, and a yellow. "Heat Raiser!" Levi powered up her team as they rushed towards the enemy. The green used their large shield to bash away the blue avatar and went straight for the metal, tackling them down and bashing them with the shield. The blue got up to help but the purple drew a spear from their back and hurled it into the blue's chest, drawing another spear they sent it flying int the blue avatar's head.
The yellow avatar faced the enemy then punched the ground and vines grew out of the ground, wrapping up around the green and purple's legs. Everyone waited for the yellow avatar's special gauge to run out for the vines to let go then attacked, tearing the yellow avatar apart.
The third battle was under way and Levi's partners changed to a pair of greens, the opposing side was made up of a blue, a red, and a purple. With some charge left in her special gauge Levi held up her staff again. "Heat Raiser!" Levi's green allies held out their shields and stood their ground as the enemy blue and purple advanced with cover fire from the red's dual smgs.
The purple avatar dashed ahead of the blue and drew a chain sickle, hurling it at one of the green avatars. The sickle latched onto the side of the green's shield and dragged it down, leaving them open for the blue who drew an ax.
the blue avatar raised their ax as the looked down at the green avatar. Levi ran towards the enemy blue and lounged the end of her staff into their neck, piecing it with the spike. She swung her staff to swipe away the sickle, letting her green ally stand.
The purple avatar pulled their weapon back and spun it over head to build up speed then throw it at Levi. The sickle wrapped around Levi's staff creating a tug of war. Levi slowly spun her staff to get more of the chain around her staff, drawing the purple avatar close, inch by inch.
A green avatar bashed their shield into the purple avatar to knock them down then Levi pulled them to her. The green avatars circled the red and crushed them in between their shields while the purple pushed themselves up and was straggled with their own chain by Levi.
Levi let the body fall then was taking to her fourth battle to meet a metal and purple waiting for her. Against them stood two purples and a green. Levi's gauge was empty and arena was made of machinery. "Nothing easy to break, alright." Levi spun her staff and joined her allies to fight.
Levi carefully approached one of the purple avatars with her staff held low. The purple avatar drew a sword and spun it around at their side, after building up speed the blade broke apart and extended to Levi who sidestepped the incoming attack.
The blades retracted and reconnected before the purple swung the sword for the blade to separated again. Levi dodged the attack and swatted at a piece in the center of the line, the piece was sent flying away and parts connected by it dropped. The purple tried again and Levi did the same, shortening the weapon each time until the sword was gone.
The purple avatar threw away the handle and rushed at Levi with their fist held back. When they got closer Levi swatted away the incoming punch with her staff then struke them in the ribs. The purple jumped at her but Levi stepped aside and let them fall to the ground, Levi stepped on the avatar's back then bashed their head in with her staff.
Levi looked over to see her purple allies was gone and the metal avatar was being beaten by the green. With her special gauge filled she raised her staff. "Heat Raiser!" The metal avatar was strengthened and grabbed the green avatar by the arm and hurled it into the ground, punching it in the face until its health was empty.
The fifth battle began with another purple and green, facing them were three blue avatars. One of the blue avatars drew a great sword, another held an warhammer, while the last one twirled a staff.
"Heat Raiser!" Levi strengthened her allies as she walked ahead of them. "Get the sword and hammer guys. I'll handle the one with the staff." The three broke off to face their opponents.
The blue avatar raised their staff to strike down but Levi held up her staff to block. The blue pulled their staff back then swung upward with the lower end, Levi lowered her staff to block again. The two took a step back and swung their staffs, clashing into each other. The blue pulled back and went for a thrust which Levi hopped away from.
The blue spun their staff as they walked towards Levi as she backed away. The blue stopped spinning after a few steps and swung high, Levi stopped as well and swung to block. The blue pushed down on their staff to force Levi's to the ground. "Amateur." Levi slid her staff along the blue's to strike them in the chest. The blue raised the staff and swung to hit Levi in the head. Levi ducked the attack and thrusted her staff into the blue's chest, causing them to stagger.
The blue went low to swipe Levi's legs. Levi jumped over the staff, the blue put to much force in the attack and was spun around, letting Levi get a free hit on their back. The blue gripped their staff at the end and swung as hard as they could at Levi's head. Levi ducked the attack and jabbed her staff into the blue's arm, making them let go of the staff, throwing it away. The blue turned to Levi to see her staff coming flying into their face, taking their head off.
The world returned to normal and Levi was back in the room with her clan mates. Lyle and Corina looked tired while Catherine was perfectly fine. Jade was waving her hands, when she stopped her expression froze in fear.
"How did it go?"
Jade took a deep breath. "We lost four zones. The ruby legion really did throw everything at us. They lost two of their own zones to the emerald."
"No..." Corina felt disheartened and Lyle looked away. Levi glanced to Catherine who looked unfazed. "Can I see the map?"
"Why?" Levi kept quiet, Jade groaned and projected the opal territory map. The four zones taken by the ruby legion were in a straight line to opal HQ.
"What were the zones Catherine was sent to protect?"
Catherine turned to Levi. "Are you claiming I actively sabotaged our legion?"
"Yes." Levi looked back to Jade. "Well?"
"Why do you need to see?"
"Humor me." Jade pressed a few buttons and the four zones lit up. Levi side glanced at Catherine. "Very strange."
Everyone's attention was on Catherine. "I wasn't having a good day today."
"Not having a good day?! We lost for zones!" Jade shouted as she stood up. "Two more and they'll be right on top of us!"
"I just couldn't concentrate! You heard what Levi called me? It weighted on my mind that I couldn't fight."
"I don't care about you're feelings! The ruby is cutting into the heart of our legion! You're a god damn gallant! A professional! Act like it!"
"Don't get high and mighty with me Jade. Lest you forget who gave you the incarnate system. If I'm having a bad day, I'm having a bad day. It happens." Catherine glared at Levi. "Especially with a little bitchy princess taking cheap shots at me."
"Cheap shots for cheap thots."
"Blow me Levi."
"So you admit you're not a woman."
"Enough!" Shouted Jade. "We lost four zones. Get them back by any means, And bring me Vincent I don't care what he was doing his first priority is to the opal legion! Now all of you leave, I need to think."
