A Battle For Freedom

A/N

I just wanted to say that:

1. I cooked, the word count is 5167. 
2. I confused myself during 1 point of this chapter, so let me clarify something here.

Akemi = The mentally an 8 year old Akemi.
Okuma = the original Akemi.

"At this rate, she's probably going to loose."

"And who's fault do you think is that!?"

"Not mine anymore."

"You- ugh! You are insufferable! Why are you even here if all you do is ruin every situation you're in!?"

"..."

"God... You refuse to help me in here, you ruin all plans out there- FINE! I'll take care of it myself."

"And how do you plan on that?"

"I'm not some half baked pyro user, I'm a mage. I'll figure out some kind of enchantment, even if I'm rusty at it!"

"......Go ahead."

"I don't need your approval."

3rd POV

"Eh?"

Akemi let out a cry as she found herself thrown forcefully from the stairs. Her mind raced momentarily as she tried to get her bearings. 

Before Akemi could even fully register what was happening, she saw Kazuha in a flash in front of her. In the brief moment, time seemed to slow as Kazuha moved with incredible speed to block the strike from the Raiden Shogun, a wave of anemo and electro energy radiating of him. 

His face was a mix of determination and concern, and he was lock in battle with the God, who seemed to be unaffected by his retaliation. The last image of Kazuha's face, focused and determined, was etched into her mind as she felt the world spinning around her as she was propelled away.

Despite being tossed forcefully through the air, Akemi's fall was cut short when she landed with a thud into a large, prickly bush. The shock from the impact caused her to cry out in pain, as thorns snagged and scratched at her clothes and exposed skin.

She struggled to free herself from the prickly embrace of the bush, her heart still racing from the sudden attack. As she finally managed to untangle herself from the bushes, she took a moment to catch her breath and assess her surroundings, disoriented and confused about what had just happened.

She quietly whimpers to herself as she checked out the condition of her most recent clothing, handed to her by lady Kamisato. "No... Ayaka just gave me these..."

As Akemi lays against a nearby Sakura tree, her heart raced with the force of a galloping horse, as the realization of what had just occurred began to sink in. The feeling of having her life flash before her eyes as she saw the Raiden Shogun's ruthless attack played over in her mind.

The adrenaline pumping through her veins made her body tremble, and her breath came in ragged gasps as she tried to calm herself. The close brush with death had left her shaken to her core, and she felt a profound sense of fear and vulnerability once again.

In this state, Akemi now found herself overwhelmed with fear and doubt. Her thoughts raced as her fists balled, contemplating her life choices.

The idea of standing and fighting with the others, facing the ruthless Raiden Shogun, frightened her. She couldn't shake the image of the sheer power and ferocity that had been displayed in the brief, chaotic exchange.
