It wasn't long into your journey that you were attacked by a hoard of enemies, all wearing the same dark hooded capes and silver, metal armour.
It was a struggle to fight them off, not only because of their thick armour that your magic struggled to penetrate, but also because, the whole time, you had to protect Frosch. The Exceed himself was backed against one wall as you were surrounded.
"Sound Dragon Roar!" you yelled, and a stream of silvery - almost translucent - magic burst from your mouth. You turned your head to change the trajectory of it, wiping out a row of armoured men.
Just seconds before it was too late, you heard the 'fwip' of a bowstring releasing and the whistle of an arrow. With no other choice, you leapt in front of the arrow that was shooting right for the poor Exceed in front of you, twisting your body and grabbing him. He yelped in surprise and you hissed as the arrowhead stabbed into your back. However, there wasn't much time to react to as more arrows rained down. One hand shot ahead of you, the other holding Frosch, and formed a shield of sound waves. Just in time, too.
The arrows barraged down onto the shield, however just bouncing off uselessly. Some of them struck back at their owners, more often than not ricocheting off of their armour, but some of them found their way into the chinks, striking their bodies.
You released the barrier and reeled back your fist, grey sound waves pulsing around it. The glow became increasingly brighter in seconds.
"Frosch, cover your ears!" you shouted, "Dragon Slayer Secret Art: Sonic Boom!"You punched the air in front of you and, all at once, a tsunami of sound waves shot out, knocking down every one of your assailants in the vicinity, emitting a high-pitched shriek. This, however, didn't have any effects on you, as it was your magic. Frosch had his face tucked into your arm, his glove paws covering his hooded ears.
When there were no more conscious opponents in sight, you tapped him lightly.
"Hey... Frosch. They're all gone now," you said quietly as you continued to walk down the corridor
"Are you okay?" he had tears in his big eyes, which glistened with worry."Hey, hey, please don't cry!" you panicked slightly, wondering what Rogue's reaction would be when he learned you'd made his Exceed cry, "I'm okay, see? We're both okay!"
"Alright..." he nodded slowly, "Fro was so worried..."
"It's okay, we're alright," you comforted the little Exceed in your arms, stepping among the unconscious bodies. You stopped to kick one, gesturing for Frosch to look."See? Not waking up anytime soon," you grinned. There was the heavy clanking of armour behind you all of a sudden, and you turned a second too late just for another arrow to impale your body, this time the small of your back.
"Sound Dragon's Roar!" you reacted immediately after that, sending a blast at the culprit. He was one who hadn't been fully knocked out - however, he was down now.
"[Y/N]!" Frosch cried.
"Nothin' but a scratch," you reassured him, eye twitching as you winced, "I'm fine."
"Fro doesn't think so," Frosch shook his head.You continued to limp onward until you heard a familiar shout from behind you.
"Oi, [Y/N]?!" a figure was sprinting down the corridor when you turned, fists alight, "is that you?!"
"Aarya!" you gasped. She was followed by a hoard of more armoured and hooded men, Lector flying alongside her.
"Little help?!" she shouted.
"Gotcha!" you yelled. Lector shot forwards and took Frosch from your arms, flying him clear aside.Aarya skidded beside you, and you turned your full attention to the opponent now you knew Frosch was out of harm's way.
"Sound Dragon's Roar!"
"Fire Devil's Rage!"
