The rather eccentric field of ice and snow was now riddled with cindering embers and cold, steel feathers.
It has been nearly half an hour of fighting, and both the Manifest wielder Zeke and the Acting Koul'in General Rozex stood their ground as they clashed across the area.
On the side of the seemingly wide covered field, most of the other team members were down, either dead or severely wounded, due to Rozex's razor sharp wings and extreme agility.
Only Cat, Sana, and a few others remain, fighting to support Zeke as he continues to go toe-to-toe with the Acting General.
BOOM!
"Ugh... You have exceeded my expectations...! Splendid...! Dont die yet, though, I have more to show to you!" An injured Rozex said as she dives with her battered metal wings tucked in. She was aiming for Zeke, who was now bleeding after continously fighting her.
"Skyspike Drop!"
"Call it a night, you homicidal maniac!" Zeke roared angrily as he extends both of his arms, and his pipe wrench immediately glows in a furious hue of orange and yellow.
"Five-Star Strike!"
The two attacks connect, and a razing explosion takes place.
Zeke gets dragged a few feet away, while Rozex hovers above him. The filipino wielder soon coughs out blood.
"I'm not yet done. I wont give you any time to have a break period, even if you cry and cough blood!"
Rozex once again readies to dive, but she is soon pelted by bullets and her attention shifts to Cat, Sana, and the remaining members of the squad, unloading their bullets towards her.
"These other rats...! I thought killing their kind would take a blow to their morale, yet they persist! I cant let them ruin this moment..."
"Tsk... If attention is what you want, theen youll have it!" Rozex said as she flaps her powerful wings, a symbol of her combat prowess. She then glides down to attack the rest.
She suddenly gets slammed hard in the face with a flaming pipe wrench. Everyone looks, and it's a bloodied Zeke, seemingly recovered from Rozex's attack.
"Eyes on me, tanga!"
Zeke then summons his rocket seals from behind, and uses them to propel both him and Rozex with blinding speed towards a metal wall. A rippling shockwave emanated from the crash and a vast cloud of smoke blanketed the area.
The filipino wielder barely stands within the smoke, and within seconds, Rozex rises as well and tackles him towards the opposite side of the area, and they resume clashing steel and skin.
The team looks at the smoke that dissapated from Zeke's last attack. It seems like it was able to punch a hole in it, perfect for exactly one person to fit in.
Cat looks at Zeke, who, while fighting, looks at her then looks at the hole.
"Zeke, are you saying that we...?!" Cat thought stppped as she glanced at the team, who just continued to watch as the filipino wielder desperately takes on the Acting General. They already ran out of ammunition, and Cat finally realizes that Zeke was aware, and was now just trying to swerve Rozex away from them so that they could be safe.
"Team, gather round the hole in there! We have to get the hell out of here!"
"But how about Zeke...?!" Sana asked in panic.
"He made that hole intentionally to help us escape, and he is just currently buying us time! We'll figure out how to back him up later. Go, go! NOW!"
The remaining members of the squadron huddle up to the hole. They let Sana in first, then the others scuttled in, with Cat guiding them.
