In a flash of light, Lyra swung at Jeta with her longsword, causing light to flash from the blade , blinding Hal. Jeta remains unfazed, as if he reads her like a book, he slices at her jaw splitting it open. She stumbles back pissed at Jeta, she lunges at him and they exchange flurries upon flurries of slashes and strikes, ringing metal and shattering steel deafened the area around them. Aria was unable to shoot at Lyra, due to Jeta's close combat, the two clashed repeatedly,wild and savage.

Lyra steps back, causing the two to pause their fighting.
"Why did you stop?" Jeta said panting, recovering from the strain, eye veins strained from reading her.
"Aria, you see what happened didn't you?". Lyra calmly said. Aria looked around scoping the scene. Her eyes widened as she saw what Lyra did. Hal wasn't behind Jeta or Fey anymore, Hal was in her arms.

"Goodbye." She sighs smugly and flies off, miles away from Jeta in the sky. Jeta's eyes widen as she flies off.
"DAMN IT DAMN IT!!" Jeta screams as he punches the ground causing a dent in the ceiling.

"Jeta. We can still reach there in time." Aria says resting her arm on his shoulder.

"Very well." Jeta stands up. "Let's get this done." He says as he drags his bike into the carrier from the streets below.

Meanwhile in the sky...

Lyra is flying to up close to her lair.
"HEY PUT ME DOWN!" Hal screams out as he flops and swings his hands everywhere, slapping her in the face as hard as pool noodles, she lands calmly at the entrance of her lair, its harbor full of airships, a port in the sky. Hal peered below at the city. It seemed like small little Christmas lights below, instead of a sprawling metropolis he once remembered the terrace being. Hal grew quiet  as she entered the gates. He wondered how the government let Lyra' have this. And of they were aware of her existence. She knocked on the gates in the base, more of the men and women from down below, people from high above all of them greeted her and kneeled, it became apparent, the world which he knew all his life was her machinations, her puppet show, they wore the same uniform the man he fought in the streets, it was all her facade, she ran the world at her fingertips.
Celebrities. Leaders. Public figures, pawns and pieces in her game. She donned the mantle of a ruler. Dominion over all was her desire.

She walks in the entrance princess carrying Hal and resting him on a cushion and sits on top of his hips. She lifts up his shirt, drooling at the sight, and eyes his body and touches his bare skin, Hal yelps and squirms back but to his surprise by her touch, his bones started to snap and crunch, Hals body was mended by Lyra's touch. Her body manipulation could heal wounds.
"And here, you'll need this". She stretches her hand and touches the nub where his arm once was, she reconstructed a perfect remake of the arm she once cut off a few nights earlier. Not only healing wounds but regrowing other's limbs too?
Lyra pauses as she stops touching Hal's bare skin, stands up, wiping her face from the drool, and notions him to walk with her down the hallway.

Hal hesitantly follows her around her compound. The furnishings and interior design was highly advanced with lights and metallic makeup and material.
"One lifetime I fell for you, you stood for your visions of a free creation, and I supported you, but you never showed me a care or a thought." Lyra started to say while walking ahead of Hal.

Lyra turned to him, "Now you have no choice but to comply. Kara is locked in her prison, and I will kill her if you don't do as I say." She smiles at him with a predacious grin as her heels click.
. "I have to save Kara even, if its involves Lyra's wants." Hal thinks to himself as he tries to resolve himself and make the sacrifice for Kara. "Very well then, I—ll do it," Hal says holding back tears.

"I'm happy you made the right choice. Um. Follow me." Lyra says drooling with anticipation as she brings him out to the balcony with a rather open view of the world below.
