S2 - Chapter 22: Change

Emiko

I felt completely useless at this point. Connor and Nanami were clashing not only swords, but their own Apophis and Satan avatars. Himari, Angel and I were just hanging back, not knowing what to do. It seemed the only match for her was Connor, but even he looked overwhelmed.

A stray ball of hellfire shot towards us, however Angel struck the ball with her soul spear, destroying it on impact.

Emiko: "When I see an opening, I'm going to try and fire another arrow. She'll be distracted, try and find a blind spot"

Angel: "Right"

Himari: "What about me?"

Emiko: "Keep any stray hellfire off of us, we can't afford to get hurt now"

Himari: "A kiss on the cheek would help me do better~"

I rolled my eyes and sighed. I quickly pecked her on the cheek, my face covered in pink.

Emiko: "There, now cover us"

Himari: "On it, cute stuff"

Multiple stray balls of fire shot towards us. Using her bracelet chains like a whip, she swung them in all directions, cutting through each fireball. Meanwhile, I had an arrow drawn, just looking for an opening.

Connor was getting tired, I could tell. His movements were getting slower. It would only be a matter of time before he was overwhelmed. Finally, just as Nanami went in for a thrust of her sword, there was an opening. I fired the arrow straight at her elbow, hitting it dead on.

Nanami: "AHH!! You wretch!!!"

While she was distracted, Angel formed out of Nanami's shadow, piercing her shoulder with her soul spear. However Angel was in her berserk mode, so the thrust of her spear had so much power behind it that it actually sent her flying into the air.

I fired off another arrow, and at the same time, Angel tossed her spear. They would've clashed with Nanami, however she held her hand out and they were turned in mid air, shooting right back at us. We managed to dodge it, but just barely.

Emiko: "Damnit! How do we fight someone who can transform, create hellfire, and literally warp reality!?!"

Nanami crashed back onto the ground in a vortex of hellfire. She glared at us, however I wasn't even sure if she was still Nanami. The look she gave me, it wasn't human.

Nanami: "DIE!!!"

The ground beneath us started to crumble. The wall of the school was falling, at least our part. Himari transformed into a hawk and grabbed onto my shoulders, carrying me into the sky. Angel faded into the shadows while Connor and Nanami continued to fight in free fall. Connor pushed her back into the wall. As she fell, her back ran along the shattering wall, definitely doing some damage.

She then formed a massive ball made of hellfire, almost the size of a car. She was about to throw it right at Connor.

Emiko: "Himari! Let me go!"

Himari: "Seriously?!"

Emiko: "Just do it!!"

Himari released me from her talons, making me go into free fall as well. I pulled back on an arrow, aiming right at the fireball.

Emiko: "I call upon the power of Sobek! Oh ruler of the Nile, lend me the waters of your domain to protect my allies!!!"

The arrow on my bow transformed into a water arrow. I fired it straight at the fireball. The second it collided, I expected it to put the fire out. However the fire instantly vaporized it. Almost like it was alive, the fireball changed direction from Connor to me. I fired off another water arrow, however it was vaporized just as fast as the first.
