Take the Chance [RED SON] ☆COMPLETE☆

12 Take the Chance

Tuesday 11:00 AM

His voice would be gone if those two idiots kept acting so recklessly-tearing through books and ancient artifacts without the slightest care. Especially Mei-the hyperactive, hotheaded Dragon who would bulldoze anything in her path just to land a hit on the worm demon. It was like watching a chaotic game of tag, with her nearly crashing into shelves and cabinets, or worse, colliding with Mk.

"Come back here, you disgusting shit!"

Mei's voice boomed through the Cloud Library as she spewed green fire, her relentless pursuit scorching the air. Mk, on the other hand, was a wheezing mess, shivering every time the demon brushed past him.

"Ewewew-this thing is so gross!" he babbled, extending his staff to smack the creature. The strike sent it crashing into the marble floor, scattering papers and creating a gust of wind and debris.

"Idiots!" Red Son's voice cracked with frustration. "Stop destroying everything! The guardians will kill us when they see the state of the Cloud!"

Cursing under his breath, Red Son launched himself forward, using fire to propel his movements. Leaping across towering shelves, he opened his palm and unleashed a blazing ray, searing the demon's side. Its piercing screech echoed through the library, forcing all three to clap their hands over their ears.

"Mei! We have to get this thing out of the Cloud!" Mk shouted, his tone bordering on panic.

"Noodle boy's right!" Red Son yelled, narrowly dodging a chunk of falling debris. "If we fight here, we'll destroy everything!"

Mei popped out from behind a towering shelf, defiant as ever. "What? Oh, come on! We can kill it here and now!"

Red Son's glare was sharper than his flames. "No, you imbecile! Your Dragon form is too huge! We need space!"

Mei hesitated, her stubbornness flickering. "Okay, fine-you've got a point."

"Then listen to me for once!" he snapped, darting ahead to clear a path. "Outside! Now!"

Reluctantly, Mk and Mei complied, with Red Son trailing behind to ensure the way was clear. The demon worm thrashed and screeched, scattering dust and debris as it fled.

"Noodle boy, don't get squashed!" Red Son barked.

"As if I plan to!" Mk shouted back, suppressing a shudder as the thought crossed his mind. "I just want this disgusting thing gone!"

Their teamwork finally paid off. Mei unleashed a wave of green fire that forced the demon out of the Cloud Library. The creature plummeted into the golden sands below. With an exhilarated laugh, Mei leaped after it, her blade crackling with electricity.

"Ha! Take that, meathead!" she crowed as she dove.

"Goddamit Dragon girl," Red Son muttered, cursing under his breath as he launched himself after her.
