"We have to get on and make sure it takes off." Sylvie spoke from beside Loki, while Hestia stared into the emptiness, thinking of another plan B.

"How?" Loki asked.

"We go around." The goddess took Hestia's hand, causing her to snap out of her thoughts and started running through the crowd with Loki following closely behind.

Sylvie led them into a little side street and right behind them was a little explosion, causing the man to gasp before they continued running.

"Return to your homes."

The short-haired woman stopped, causing the others to do the same, and looked around, deciding which direction they should go.

"Get back! Stand back!" They turned around and looked at the many soldiers running at high speed past them, Sylvie dragging the woman out of the way so she wouldn't get run over.

They turned around again and watched the soldiers dragging many poor people. Then a loud crash above them caused the three to look up. The planet above them just splat in half.

"Oh, fuck." Hestia mumbled and held the goddess' hand tighter. Sylvie hoped she couldn't see her blushing in the dark light.

Multiple meteors crashed into the houses behind them, then one landed directly next to them, causing all the people standing in the area to duck and place their hands on their heads.

They soon started running around, but suddenly a large explosion in front of them caused the three to fall backwards.


Hestia's ears ringed. She could hear Sylvie groan, then she got up and helped the human to stand up too before they all started running again.

"You okay?" Sylvie asked while they ran through a little archway. "Yeah." Hestia nodded and held Sylvie's hand tighter while Loki ran in front of the two, leading them through the village.


They reached a little house which glowed from the inside and their pace slowed down, but suddenly a soldier attacked Sylvie from behind. She took her cloak off which the soldier held, turned around and kicked him.

Another blue-clothed man came running into the little bar, but before he could do anything Loki threw a little green sparkle at him, which exploded and caused him to fall right into two tables.

Three soldiers joined them, attacking each of the three. Hestia grabbed the dagger from her belt, due to the fact that her blazer was laying somewhere in the desert ripped apart, and started fighting against the man.

He tried to slash his weapon at her from above, but she blocked it, kicked him into the stomach with her foot and stabbed him into the right hand. "Let's go!" Sylvie called and stored her sword away before all three started running away again.

Before they could run into another alley, a building crashed down onto it. "Over here!" The goddess called and they ran into the direction she showed. They took shelter under a tilted wall and Sylvie turned to Hestia, whose blouse was half burned up and quickly enchanted it, so it was fixed again. "Thanks." She whispered and the two just stared at each other before a little girl ran past them. The two nodded at each other before running with Loki after her, knowing she knew where they had to go.

They stopped in front of a building and an explosion above them caused them to turn up, only to see some large building parts falling onto them.

"Run!"

The three started running at their fastest pace, turned around a corner and escaped the building, only for another to fall directly onto them. "Watch out!" Sylvie called. "I got it." Loki made a move with his arms and suddenly the building was moving backwards again while the two women continued running. "Loki! Come on!" Hestia called, causing him to break out of his trance and quickly follow them again.

They pushed the soldiers that were in the way away, knowing they hadn't much time left.

"We can still make it!" Loki called and suddenly a bunch of men stood in front of them, attacking the trio.

They kicked and punched them, causing them to fall to the ground, but then Loki and Sylvie got dragged away from behind. Hestia quickly punched the soldier into the face, causing him to let Sylvie go and then be kicked away by the goddess. "Thanks, babe." "What?"

"Sylvie, Hestia! Come on!" The two turned to Loki, who was already further away and started running again.


Then, they watched as the arc tried to fly away, only for it to get crashed.


It was all dead silence. Everyone was shocked.



Sylvie sighed before taking Hestia's hand and stepping away.
