The horse flapped its wings testing them and shook its head. Boss glared at the horse.
"Let's go! Pegasus!" Matt shouted up to the horse. The horse reeled back and kicked its front legs in a fury before charging at the boss. Matt pushed off the sand like a sprinter's block. He switched the other blaster into a katana. His focus was dead set on the boss. The boss seemed conflicted on who his target should be. Him or the horse? Pegasus got to him a lot faster. The boss debated too long, Pegasus was just about to smash him with his hooves. A giant dust cloud kicked up. Matt charged in with the swords at the ready but he couldn't see a thing. Then he could clearly see a bright orange light speeding towards. There was no time to react so as a result he hit by the shot in the chest. But he managed to shift the swords into the guns and pulled the triggers, launching him back with the attack. Though he could still the pain blasting at his chest like a rocket's engine pointed at him as it blasted off. If he hadn't gone with the shot he would have been killed instantly. Far too quickly the energy in his shot died out and he was sent flying in the air right above the ocean. All he could do was just fall, letting the air whip his clothes and hair. He could hear a loud whiny over the rushing air then feel something brush against him. Matt quickly flipped his body over and wrapped his arms around the object. The thing that saved him was Pegasus. Now he was hovering yards above the ocean in the sky safely on the horse's back.
"Thanks for the save Pegasus!" He patted Pegasus's neck. The dust settled down below to show the boss glaring up at him. Matt smiled back.
"You insufficient whelp!" A flame burst from something on the boss's fist. A ring with Sky class flames! I guess I should've seen that coming! The boss brought out a box weapon of his own and injected the flames from the ring into it. When he was done charging it he directed towards him but what came out was an albino lion with different spots around the mane were flames were burning.
"A lion?" Matt asked confused. How was a lion going to bring him down to the ground? The boss didn't look worried though just really annoyed. Matt let a shot at the lion but it stood there just waiting. Before it was halfway there the lion roared and the shot dissipated. What?! A simple roar blocked my attack! No it didn't block it, it dispersed all of its flames making it totally useless! This was bad if a roar could stop his attack from this far he didn't want to see what it could do up close.
"Where's your cockiness now, you worthless bug!" The boss flashed him a taunting smile.
"If you have any tricks left Pegasus now's the time to show them." Matt leaned closed to the horse's ear. The horse reeled back and spread out its showing off the shining burning wings. Matt looked closely at the wings. They seemed almost to be absorbing the sunlight making them gleam even brighter. Then Pegasus jerked down towards the lion and the boss and gave its wings a powerful flap. Rays broke off the wings rushing down going faster and faster. Then suddenly each ray split in two! Still as powerful looking as the original rays if not, stronger.
"Bester!" The boss demanded. The lion roared again and the rays stopped in mid-flight like they hit an invisible wall. Some began to fizzle out while others were on their way to burning out. Pegasus speed towards the blocked rays threatening to fling Matt off with the speed. Matt didn't get it. Why would Pegasus fly right towards a wall were it knew its attack was being blocked. Then he understood. Right before Pegasus's front hooves smashed into the blockade Matt jumped off its back. Pegasus was stopped by the attack but he was still going. He quickly positioned the guns towards the ground and pulled the triggers before he crashed down on the beach. Now all the rays were gone. Pegasus cried in pain.
"Pull back Pegasus! I'll handle it!" He shouted up at the horse. Pegasus instantly flapped its wings and pulled back from the invisible wall. Matt looked back to see the boss and Bester glare at him. The lion's mouth was open showing off its sharp looking fangs. Then the boss's glare changed in tense smile.
"I have to admit that figuring out Bester's roar will only stop flame based attacks was impressive. Normally people don't get it till I explain it to them at their ends." Boss almost sound genuine.
"Well I am the subordinate to the Moon Guardian. And besides it was mainly Pegasus's doing." Matt admitted. "Thanks for the insight Pegasus!" He shouted up.
"But I can see that you are still new to all of this, and that will be your downfall!" The boss went back to his serious look. "Bester get rid of this nuisance!" He shouted. The lion growled harshly and black colored scars began to run across its face then back. Not scars, stripes!
"It's not a lion! But a liger!" Matt said surprised. This was going from bad to worse! And just when he thought he had a leg up!
