I turned away from Daniel and Maeda to look back at the reborn T-Rex standing before me as it struggled to open its massive jaws, its lower teeth having
pierced its own upper jaw from my kick. Thank goodness I made it time… "Daniel! Maeda! Get back! I'll handle this!" I shouted out as I started to walk toward
the T-Rex, the green lights of my mitochondria and the contrasting red of the T-Rex meshing together in my vision as I focused my power. Gripping the broken
teeth of the monster in my hands, I swiftly hurled one of them in its direction, smacking it in the head, the monster swaying from the force of the impact. I didn't
waste any time as I focused my power into my feet and legs, dashing toward the T-Rex at speeds that are impossible for a normal person. The T-Rex finally
managed to dislodge its own jaw and gave a shrill roar as I approached. To my surprise, it knew where I was and attempted to step on me, but I simply
dodged to the side before it could flatten me. Not missing a beat, I jumped into the air straight at the monster's head, gripped the remaining tooth in my
possession with both hands, and swung it like a bat, smacking the T-Rex across the snout. The tooth broke apart while the T-Rex stumbled back once again,
seemingly dizzy from the impact, but still standing. I landed on my feet without a hitch at a height that would break a normal person's legs, looking up at the
abomination with disdain. This one is going to be hard to kill, it seems. While I contemplated on a method that would kill it, the T-Rex orientated itself and
suddenly spun itself around in a circle, smacking me hard in the side with its very large and bony tail. The wind completely knocked out of me, the force of the
attack lifted me up into the air and smashed me against the side of a brick building, dust and debris spewing up on impact.
I cursed out as I sat in the crater of brick and mortar caused by my impact, shaking my head slightly to blow some of the dust off. "It's faster than I gave it
credit for…" I muttered to myself as I looked over toward it, watching as it quickly made its way toward me with its jaw wide open. "Oh shit." I cursed as the
T-Rex's jaws started to close themselves on me. Focusing my power into my legs again, I desperately jumped straight into the air from my crater, the T-Rex's
teeth barely missing me. It seemed to notice right away what I did, its hollow eye sockets watching me as I flew several more meters into the air, before slowly
starting to fall back down. As I returned its stare, a small smile cracked on my lips. "Oh ho! I have an idea~!" I chanted to myself, the T-Rex roaring loudly again
as it impatiently waited for me to fall down. Not wanting to keep it waiting, I fell head first towards it, focusing my power into my hands until a green orb of light
the size of a volleyball formed between them. Once I was almost level with its head, I shot out a large laser beam, hitting it point blank in the face, the force of
the blast actually pushing me back as I fell. I hadn't considered that, so I skidded rather embarrassingly on my ass, moaning out in pain. "Not how I planned
it…" I muttered as I sat myself up, looking towards the T-Rex.
The T-Rex was pushed back from my blast, as indicated from the deep skid marks in the pavement, but it was still standing, seemingly unhurt. I whistled out at
it in disbelief, my eyes wide. "Wow. That blast was powerful enough to kill Sheeva, and yet you're doing just fine. Are you trying to make me look bad, you
prehistoric turd?" I screamed out, standing up on my feet. I crossed my arms over my breast as I pondered on what to do next. "I don't want to waste too
much time on you. I need to get to Eve quickly." I muttered, looking over at the ruined museum. More specifically, I looked up at the 4th floor, where her
presence was strongest. Sighing out, I looked over at the hulking form of a monster, nodding my head. "Ok!" I shouted, holding out a fist with my index finger
extended upward. "One second! That's all you get!" I shouted. I dared to glance at Daniel and Maeda, who were still laying on the pavement, looking at me
with clear confusion. "Try not to blink, guys!" I shouted at them with a wink. The T-Rex was apparently unamused, letting out one more roar as it bolted right
toward me, its jaw wide open. Exhaling slowly, I gripped my police baton strapped to my side, my eyes focused on my foe as my body became enveloped by a
bright green light. The T-Rex mere feet away from me, I screamed out at the top of my lungs as I lunged forward.
Daniel wasn't exactly sure what he was looking at. He knew that Aya was strong, stronger than any normal person could be, but the sight before him was
confounding. It almost seemed like she was making sport of the monster she was fighting. For the past few days she was more defensive and unsure of
herself, which is perfectly natural considering the circumstances, but right now, as she smiled and joked, she seemed more like the Aya he knew before this
whole mess. She just disappeared without a trace 40 hours ago, and just as suddenly reappeared with her confidence returned. "What were you doing just
now, Aya…?" Daniel muttered to himself as he watched her fight.
"One second! That's all you get!" he heard her shout at the monster, extending her index finger as she said it. "Try not to blink, guys!" she then shouted at the
duo, almost giddy. At this point, Daniel couldn't help but smile as well, finally sitting himself up on the pavement. "You always were amazing Aya, power or not.
I'm glad you're back." he muttered to himself again as he watched the T-Rex charge at her. He wasn't concerned for her. He knew she would be fine. So, he
watched closely at what she would do.
When the T-Rex was right in front of her, Aya seemed to vanish on the spot, but then immediately reappeared behind the T-Rex, both of her hands gripping her
baton as she pointed it downward, as if she struck down with it. The T-Rex slowly walked a bit further away, appearing to be disoriented, before coming to a
complete stop, standing perfectly still. Daniel and Maeda's jaws hung open at the display. What happened? They couldn't see it at all. Before they could even
try to ask Aya, the T-Rex started to shutter, a long, vertical gap appearing in its middle as its body fell apart in two pieces, the old bones of the defeated
monster crumbling down on the pavement in a cloud of dust.
I sighed out deeply as I turned my head toward the heap of bones, wiping sweat from my brow. "That was a little harder than I thought. I should be careful." I
muttered to myself as I strapped my baton to my side. I turned back toward Daniel and Maeda, who were already standing and running towards me. I couldn't
help but smile wide at them, running towards them as well, Daniel throwing his large arms around me, bawling out. It was a little funny to see, since I've never
seen him cry, but I felt terrible too. "I'm sorry for making you worry." I apologized, my face buried in his chest as we embraced each other. "I'm just so glad
you're okay. I thought you died." Daniel managed to say, sniffling and drying his eyes. I released myself from him, giving him another wink. "Well, I think I did."
I replied, chuckling lightly. Daniel seemed mortified by this, so I quickly added: "Oh, but its fine now! I came back like I said! More importantly…" I looked back
over at the Museum. "I know that Klamp's dead. Eve's in the 4th floor right now, so I need to get going. So, I have to ask you guys to wait here." I told them,
facing them again. Daniel didn't seem surprised by this, and it actually made me feel bad again, but I knew he understood when he nodded. "We'll be out here.
Be careful." he replied.
With a nod, I ran toward the museum, focusing my power once again. Once I was close enough, I jumped up into the air, reaching the 4th story with ease.
With a shout, I focused my power into my fist as I punched the wall, destroying it and making a large hole. I jumped through the hole and swiftly stood up on
my feet, my eyes quickly scanning the room. It seemed that I was in the Ancient Egypt Exhibit, complete with Ancient Egypt sarcophagi, hieroglyphic walls,
stone tablets, and miniature pyramids. But then my eyes stopped when I saw her, and I wasn't all that surprised of how she looked. Eve was sitting atop a
statue, her body bulgy and fat; she was at least twice her previous size. She was nude with a very large belly and what appeared to be numerous breasts
under her two normal ones, and tendrils that looked like vines growing out of her back and clinging to her environment, as if keeping her in place. She has two
pairs of arms now, and also a pair of legs, which she seemed incapable of using anyway.
As I watched her, she slowly looked up at me, as if she was sleeping, and put a finger to her lips, telling me to keep silent. "So you're back. Tell me, how was
your visit to the other side? Do you finally understand now?" she asked me with a hush. I looked over her new body a few more times before settling on her
bright, crimson eyes.
"Yes, sister."
