Omg I totally forgot to put up this chapter XD oh lord ok well thanks for your patience the laptop brain farted ok R and R please xoxo
Balthier was not happy. As he was walking through the sewers he felt several large chunks of brick hit his head. Cursing he raised his head to shake his fist, looking up he saw numerous cracks in the celling. When he saw it. The cracks were in the shape of a smiley face.
"Curse the damned gods, whores and Ba'Gamnen." He growled
He heard Fran snicker. Shooting her a look she piped down. Hearing a thump he looked over to see Ella lying near a dead body. Normally he wouldn't of looked twice but he realised her body was frozen to the spot. Balthier walked towards her. He was going to shake her but he could see she was genuinely scared and crying. Reaching down he slipped his arms under hers to pull her up but she pulled away screaming. Sobbing she ran off into the darkness.
This was not fun. There was smelly water all over my legs, cement on my face and brown stuff that I didn't even want to know about on my shoes. My only consolation was that the princess was going through the same thing. In fact she looked even more pissed than me.
"I'm a leader and I'm running about the sewers with thieves" she muttered angrily
"Hey your no rose yourself sunshine" I snarled
"How dare you speak to me in that tone you- you thief" she yelled back
"Hey Shlutta you're an assassin" I yelled
"While I quite enjoy girl fights it would please me if we did not do this now, especially considering this is not mud." Balthier said
Ashe gave me one last dirty look before walking into a huge open room. I looked around recognising where I was. This was where the flans attacked. I tried to warn the others to run but 3 flans surrounded us. Drawing out my daggers I was just about to attack when I felt something slimy on my shoulder.
"Oh ew that's disgusting" I shrieked
I think Balthier realised what that meant because while I was trying to flick off the slime he grabbed my jaw and pushed it upwards putting in my line of sight the largest flan I have ever seen. The whole group jumped away as it fell to the ground.
Pulling out her bow Fran ran to the back of the group. Turning on her heel she aimed shooting arrows at the flans. Letting the shot go they sailed right through its body, considering they were mostly liquid she barely did any damage. Yelling out what I presume is Ivalice's version of cuss words she tossed aside her bow before somersaulting into the air and landing a devastating blow on flan A's body. Standing back she threw fire magiks at the flan scorching whatever body it had making it screech in pain. Hearing a shot fired I looked around to see Balthier giving off the final shot.
"Quite a colourful speech there Fran darling." He said
"Farak you sky pirate." She said before setting fire to the flan Ashe was currently slicing at.
I turned back to the flan I was currently fighting from. I held my daggers out and made wild hits at its slimy body. I was barely making twenty damage every time. Luckily I had Vaan with me. Raising his sword he sliced clean through the flans upper half leaving it to slide to the ground. Vaan looked at me.
"Ella you need to relax, having adrenaline running through you gives you strength but it makes you panic," He said "calm your breathing and think rationally."
Nodding my appreciation I stood there and evened out my breathing. I felt my heart beat slowly before I looked up and attacked the biggest flan. Grunting with exertion I felt my daggers cut cleanly through its body doing at least thirty five damage.
"Yes!" I yelled out
I might not have killed it but I certainly pissed it off more. I wasn't trained to recognise when a monster was preparing an attack. Shaking like epileptic, small particles of dust rose into the air as it prepared its attack. I heard sucking sounds before I felt the tentacle hit attack slam into my body. I screamed in pain as I fell to the floor. Retching from the trauma I crawled away trying to shield my body.
"Oh fuck me hard." I growled
I crawled up to the wall and sat there trying to get my breath back. Damn if I had it my way I would have sent fire magicks and made that pathetic excuse for a monster into a cooked pancake. Looking over I saw Vaan about to perform the final blow.
"FINISH HIM!" I screamed out.
Vaan, obviously startled, jumped about a mile in the air before looking at me in confusion. This brief distraction let the monster hit Vaan right in the chest. I winced as I watched vaan go flying and land with a thump on the other side of the room.
"I blame you Ella." He said before he passed out
