Pyra POV

We ran through the corridors of the warship, occasionally knocking out groups of guards that tried to stop us.

Tora: Not much further to exit!

Then someone with a Blade appeared, blocking the exit.

Dughall: Not so fast, my dear intruders. Letting a terrorist from Torna out of my grasp would make me look very bad indeed.

His eyes settled on me, I shivered slightly, his gaze felt... wrong, as if  he saw me as an object, something to be used, then tossed away. Kai moved closer.

Kai: *quietly* It's alright, he's not going to get you.

I felt better, Kai always seemed to be able to find a way to help me, especially with my emotions, Father knows that after the war they've been... out of control.

Dughall: Ah, that emerald Core Crystal! You must be the Aegis! Much as it pains me to admit it, it seems Mòrag was right on the money.

Rex: You know who Pyra is? Are you trying to capture her too, you ratbag?

Pyra: Oh Rex... you're going to get yourself killed one day, trying to protect everyone the way you do. But you just can't help it can you.

Dughall: Now now, language. But of course. The most powerful Blade in all of history, with the power to rend Alrest asunder?
Only a fool would know of that power and not seek to claim it!
And I am no fool! Therefore, I will claim her as my own! You cannot argue with such logic!

Poppi: Flaw detected in final step of logic.

Kai snickered.

Nia: Sorry, pal, but you've done all the capturing you're gonna do today.

Dughall: Such impertinence for a dirty terrorist.

Rex: Let's go, Pyra!

Pyra: Got it!

Everyone readied their weapons, and Kai drew his buster sword, lazily swinging it through the air before adopting his stance. His stance was strange, his legs were spread wide so he was lower to the ground, making it a good defensive stance, but he held his sword in a way that it made for quick, rapid strikes. I couldn't quite figure it out, that, and he swung the large weapon with such ease, I wondered what it was made of.

Pyra: Focus Pyra.

We started attacking, I held out my hand, supplying power to Rex as he charged, but as he swung at the Driver, his Blade suddenly stopped attacking Nia and Dromarch, and swooped in front of Rex to tank the blow, knocking them both away. As we continued, I noticed every blow the Consul would have taken was either tanked or blocked by his Blade, who would immediately stop attacking to do so.

Rex: That coward... He's just hiding behind his Blade!

Dughall: What? Does common sense elude you? A Blade can regenerate from any injury!
Whereas if I die, my Blade will return to a useless core!

Pyra: I don't like him, he's actually making me angry

Nia: So it's OK to use them as a living shield? You weasel. Even if they can regenerate, that doesn't mean Blades don't feel pain!

Dughall: Hahah, how cute. The fleabag thinks we should care about Blades' feelings. Hehehe, I wonder if YOU can feel pain!

One thing I noticed before we started attacking again, was that Kai. Looked. Pissed.

Pyra: That can't be good

Kai POV

Well. This bitch is gonna die. Literally. I'm finna kill this guy. But I noticed Pyra looked at me, causing me to roll my eyes.

Kai: Well if I can't kill him, then I'll at least do this.

I held out my hand as it began to glow blue, then poured power into Pyra as she performed an Art. The extra power caused Pyra to knock the old bastard the fuck out, and his Blade, and a minor explosion. Nobody died though, so Pyra won't rip me a new one because I made her kill someone. Anyway, we won, time to get the fuck out.

Dughall: How...? A mangy fleabag and a bunch of stinking kids... My triumphant return...to Mor Ardain...with the Aegis…

Azurda: Out like a light.

Rex: That's what he gets for trying to execute Nia.

Nia: What? He was trying to take me back to Mor Ardain. Rex, this is a trap!

Rex: A trap? So they weren't actually gonna execute you?

Tora: No time! Talk later, Rex-Rex! We should escape!

Poppi: Masterpon is right. Chance of reinforcements very high.

Azurda: Let us make haste. Getting out of town would be a good start!

Kai: Then why the hell are we still standing here?!?!

Aight, so it's been a while, but here it is. Damn school's a bitch, should've updated more during the summer huh? Anyway, here you go, if you read this cool, if I fucked up somewhere, let me know. And uh, go to bed? It's like, 2:00 in the morning rn.
