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

Chapter 12: Chases

"I really need to bring Lucy on a yacht sometime once we finish all these missions. Seeing her in a swimsuit would be nice, too." Cheyanne leaned on the edge of a railing. Her eyes stared down at the crystal clear waters. She lightly tapped on the rails when a screech erupted from behind her.

"W-What is that!?" A man yelled. "Some kind of zombie beasts?" He scrambled to his feet and held onto a pole while the yacht swayed back and forth.

A skeletal hawk soared above them and landed on Cheyanne's shoulder. The floor rumbled and a giant spider humanoid broke through it. Black hair covered the feminine body as several people tied up in webs screamed from below. Two sets of eyes opened when they spotted Cheyanne.

"Oh, what do we have here? Is a hero coming to stop my nursery? I'll make sure to add you to the nest and let my future babies feed upon you." The spider girl laughed out loud.

"Aren't you a disgusting creature, I won't let you take all these innocent people and turn them into baby food!" Cheyanne yelled. Her hand twitched and a bone lance manifested into it. With a swing, the lance extended and acted as a whip. The tip of the lance nearly tore into the spider girl's abdomen when she scowled.

The man by the pole gulped as he wiped his eyes. "I-I heard about her on the news! Her name is Aranis the terrible spider villain!" He cried out.

Aranis held a hand out and web shot out of it to the man. The web entangled him as he struggled to break free and screamed. Her legs pincered through the wooden floors before she dashed to Cheyanne. "Looks like you won't be able to do much with all these hostages of mine. What will you do girl!?" She cackled.

"My job, which is kicking your ass! These undead servants of mine will have no problem in taking the hostages to safety." Cheyanne folded her arms and stabbed the lance into the floor. "Now dark necromancy!" A dark aura rushed through the yacht as undead servants popped out of the walls.

"The power of necromancy? This is new to me but I won't be afraid of it. Maybe your servants will be tasty with all that energy coming out of them." Aranis rubbed her abdomen. A string of thick webs fired from the end of it and attempted to trap Cheyanne with it.

With a leap, Cheyanne jumped over the web and swung the lance at Aranis. A trail of blue flames followed and set fire to the top floor. It melted through the webs within an instant as Aranis backed away. "Like my magic? I had a feeling that fire would be your weakness but now I know." She flashed a smirk and licked her lips.

"Ugh, this isn't what I expected! Curse you and your powers, I can't be behind bars! They'll remove my babies..." Aranis clenched her fists.

"That's not all, I wasn't finished with my attack." Cheyanne pointed to the sky. A giant black skull descended from the air and trapped Aranis in it. She attempted to break free but the skull shocked her in return. "Thought I would try something new now that I'm a hero with everything to lose. My moves have to be flashy, they have to dazzle the cameras or else I get nothing out of it." With a sigh, she retrieved a phone and dialed the cops.

A male cop answered it. "This is our jurisdiction, what can we help you with?" He asked.

"Yes, I'm with the hero agency and I just caught Aranis. You'll find her on the yacht out here in the pacific west." Cheyanne hung up and motioned to the skeletal hawk. "I need to move on to the island and see what needs to be done there. A hero's work is never done as they say." She rode on the hawk and traveled over the ocean. Within a few hundred miles, they arrived at an island where dozens of sailboats circled it. Water washed up on the shore before she landed on the sand.

Ooh, another place that would be worth the vacation. If I got the villain on the yacht then there should be three on this island. Where do I even begin here? Cheyanne rubbed her forehead and traversed along the beach.
