Angel's Ascension: Heroes of Humanity (Book 11)

Chapter 10: Awe

Lucy slammed the door behind her and checked through the seats. Her wings flapped before she sensed an aura close by. She soon faced Yukia and clenched her fists. "Hey, you there! Those idiots broke the only device to stop the bombs and we can't stop the trains!"

Yukia leaned in the seat with her legs crossed. "Oh, you've come back. Need my help again with the bombs?" She asked with a smirk.

I can't toy with her too much or she'll suspect me of being a villain. Slade isn't giving us the order but I'm sure the others are eager to strike. Yukia furrowed her brow.

"I'm not good at finding objects like that, you gotta tell me where the bombs are! We have six minutes before the train stops." Lucy glanced at the luggage while she groaned.

"Fair enough, I'll help you out then. My energy will spread throughout the train where the bombs are. You'll have to act quickly now." Yukia lifted a finger to the ceiling. A pink aura escaped from her body and traveled through the train within seconds.

Lucy sensed dozens of energy spheres scattered out and sprinted to each one. Once the bombs were uncovered, she gathered them up and used a luggage bag to hold them. Her wings twitched while she hurried to the front.

Tex whistled at her and tossed the cigar away. "You got all the bombs? Need some help tossing that away from everything?" She asked.

"No, I know a place just for them!" Lucy opened a window and jumped out of it. She flew into the air and soon spotted a field within a few miles. With a mighty toss, she hurled the bag into the air and held a finger to it. A beam of dark energy fired and struck the bag. Before she flew back, a giant explosion swept through the air. "Woah, that was a huge one. Only had a few seconds left to spare too." Once the train stopped, she landed on top of it and wiped her forehead.

"That was quite a blast, I saw it from here and it was crazy." Tex stepped out of the train and dusted her hat.

Lucy soon leaped down from the train and slapped her hands against her pants. "Right, did you subdue those other criminals? We gotta get them to the cops and I sure hope they don't have any other bombs."

"Oh, they don't. I made sure of that when I tied them up like hogs. Now what about that other girl? I want to question her on a few things." Tex replied. The two glanced at the train while people stepped out of it in a hurry. Once the cops arrived and detained the criminals, they left as a whistle blew.

"The next train will depart in five minutes. Please board now or the train will leave without you." A female voice spoke over the speakers.

Lucy hurried into the train. "If she isn't leaving then we can just question her on the train."

Tex followed close behind her and lowered her hat. "Maybe she'll run away once we corner her in that train cart. Should I get my shotgun ready?"

"Nah, let's keep it cool. She'll get the vibe that we aren't there for questions." Lucy narrowed her eyes and reached the last train cart. Before they entered, a wave of energy flew into them.

Yukia stood at the exit with a slight grin. "Hey, you're back for a third time? And that must be Tex Ashton, the other helper of the heroes." Her hand pressed against the door while she opened it.

Lucy approached her with a hand out. "Don't go just yet! We still have a few questions left to ask of you."

"Yeah, it'd be a shame if you didn't stay to humor our simple questions." Tex soon placed both hands behind her back and bowed her head.

"Hmph, I might talk if you can catch me!" Yukia swiftly swung the door open and dodged a bullet before she jumped out of the train. With a leap, she landed on a roof and dashed across the other buildings.
