09 - Wrath

Everyone's attention was now on Y1, her eyes contorted with anger, her mouth bearing a hateful gnash she said

Y1:"If you do as much as lay a finger on her –"

Y1 closed her outstretched hand to a fist, and the sword that was stuck in the ground was now flying in front of 2B, with its tip at her throat.

"-I'll tear you to shreds"

No one was moving, 9S fearfully watched the blade that could behead 2B in mere moments. 2B was already searching for an opening to strike, but she felt it a second ago when the sword positioned itself in front of her. She couldn't dream to match this kind of speed, she couldn't even see, let alone react to it in the first place.

A2 just stared at Y1, unable to think of a solution for this. But as she was thinking something else occupied her mind, it was Y1. She looked angry, furious, so full of wrath. A2 knew her only shortly, but this is something she didn't expect of her. She was not just looking angry, A2 could feel it. The air was getting cold and dense, her body was starting to feel heavier by the second and every instinct she has screamed 'danger'. The usually clumsy and airheaded girl seemed ready to lay waste to the whole world. A2 was torn out of her mind when Y1 spoke up.

Y1:"We'll leave, and you will too, you go back to where you came from, and we will go into the forest, to the other side. I'll spare you, but do not expect me to always be so gracious"

Y1 straightened her upper body, her face filled with pain, loud cracks emerging from her spine. When she was finished, she took a deep breath, and released a relieved sigh.

Y1:"Now move. A2, it is time for us to leave" Y1 looked at A2 before starting her way to the other side of the hall, and A2 though a bit intimidated by Y1, promptly followed.

2B Took a step back, and lucky for her the sword didn't follow. She looked after the two escapees, but after a second of her gaze lingering, the sword moved closer again.

Y1:"You are testing my patience" Y1 yelled while she walked without even turning back to face 2B. 2B knew she was clearly outmatched, and she could do nothing but bear it and accept this defeat, for now. So she and 9S left through the door they came from.

A2 and Y1 exited the building and where now walking through a trail that was sunk into the forest ground, like an old riverbed. Neither of them had spoken a word yet, they walked in silence until the trail led them into the open forest. Before them lay a small valley, lush green, giant trees, and the pleasant flow of a water stream could be heard from afar. With this being set, and feeling safe from their pursuers, A2 decided it was time to talk again.

A2:"So uh, you looked pretty damn pissed back there, you ok?" she turned her head to look at Y1

Y1 looked back at A2. For a few seconds she just looked at her with a blank expression, until she just closed her eyes and smiled at A2 and gave a thumbs up.

Y1:"..." she opened her mouth to speak, but instead Y1 only spat out blood. after which she collapsed.A2 swiftly caught her before she hit the ground.

A2:"Ey you alright?!"

No response, A2 held the, again unconscious, girl.

A2:"This is the second time in a day. Ugh, you really have to watch after yourself better because I'm not going to carry you every time"

And so A2 heaved Y1 on her back and started to search for a place to rest.
