The 100 Operators Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really love you

Chapter 5

"What?"

Talulah widens her eyes as she feels something hitting her sword, resulting in it only hitting the ground instead of Ashura's head. Seeing that the sword failed, she instead lets go of her sword to use her Arts but her other hand immediately latches on to stop the action.

"Stop interfering!"

"...No."

It turns into a tug of war as Talulah rocks her body side to side with both hands gripping each other to the point of almost crushing the bones.

Nearl appears from the side to shield bash Talulah that sends her flying away. Fang moves past her while she stays behind to check up on Ashura.

"Ashura, are you alright?" Nearl carefully pats his body while watching his reaction, though she uses her finger for his lower body.

"I'm fine... If you exclude almost getting stabbed to the head," He tiredly looked into her eyes while his ears redden a bit.

"Come on, let's get you somewhere safe." Nearl lifts his body, bridal carry style, and brings him over to Amiya, who immediately latches herself on to him though she retreats as quickly when the smell hits her.

"Ashura thank goodness you're alright!"

"Yeah... Almost died but still in one piece."

"Nearl, go help Fang; buy enough time for everyone to get up so that we can run away."

Nearl nods before running off then Amiya glances over to V, who is bringing over the Durin that has her eyes closed.

"How is she?" Amiya asks while V carefully places her down on the floor.

"Hit her head when she crashed into the building; luckily no bleeding but she might have a concussion."

"Ace?"

"He should be waking up right about... Now." They look over to his form nearby that has no sign of waking up. V sighs before walking over and slaps him. Another slap and he finally wakes up with a groan.

"Urgh, stop hitting me. I'm up."

"Not fast enough. We are still in a fight right now." V deadpans at him while he shakes his head.

"Right..." He grabs his shield and gets up before spotting Fang and Nearl tag teaming against Talulah, though sometimes her hand flies up to slap her whenever she wants to cast her Arts. He rushes over to join the fight.

"How is it looking at the other battle?" Ashura tiredly asks while trying to move his head.

"Only left with the Pale guy. I don't see the other- never mind, Miss Dobermann just kicked Pale into a building." Amiya says while lowering her arm.

"Good... Good..." Ashura trails off and Amiya glances down to see him slowly closing his eyes. She bite her lips as she raises her arm to him but lowers it back down while staring at him.

"We need to finish this fast..." Amiya lifts her head towards Dobermann, "Miss Dobermann! Tell the others to grab the wounded then head towards the extraction site! We can't afford to stay here any longer!"

Amiya watches as Dobermann's eyes squint at her before looking below her, then right back up. She hesitantly nods at Amiya before looking back and begins to shout out her order.

Nodding in satisfaction at them running to grab the unconscious operators then heading to the outskirts, Amiya looks back to see Nearl and Ace holding on to Talulah's arm while Fang is rushing at her with her spear aimed at her chest.

Talulah struggles to free herself but both of them have tight grip on her arms, so she can only helplessly watch as the spear comes closer to her... Until she hears a distinct tick above her.
