A flaming warrior

Chapter 43 1/2 Nikolai

"Sister, wake up," I heard Eva say as I slowly woke up. "What is it?" I asked her. "Jacqueline wanted to see us," Eva told me as I looked at my alarm clock. "It's 9 am," I told her. "Yes, but she said it's important, especially since she finished your arm," she told me, which woke me up a little. "Okay, let me shower then," I said, getting out of bed. Once I was done, I went into the workshop room and saw Jacqueline adding the finishing touches to my arm. "Here you go," Jacqueline said. Should work the same as Samantha, but yours lets you throw out fire grenades," Jacqueline said as a baby wyvern lands on her table. "Oh, the baby hatched already?" Jacqueline asked, shocked. "I'm good at hatching new eggs quickly and safely. Even their growing up is quick. Can't wait to have a fully grown Virellon," Leona said, giving their Virellon head pats.

Okay, now to describe everyone's gear and how it looks. Tyler's armor was a sleek, draconic helm with two backward-curving, horn-like protrusions, each crackling faintly with static arcs, and a visor that glowed a deep electric blue when charging abilities. Chest armor is reinforced wyvern scales with embedded storm crystals that pulse with lightning veins across the torso. Shoulders that spark when just standing still. Gauntlets feature talon-like finger tips for claw attacks. Crackling energy coils wrap around the forearms like glowing vines, discharging tiny arcs. Lightweight greaves reinforced with wyvern muscle fibers for incredible mobility. When sprinting, faint lightning trails follow the legs, leaving a "blur effect" like a flash step. Wyvern wing membrane as a half-cape, now tattered and infused with storm magic, glowing faintly at the edges like storm clouds lit by lightning. Occasionally, it releases small electric discharges when idle. For the first time, the armors now have skills. The first passive skill is that while crouched or still, it turns semi-invisible, like a jungle predator. The moment the user moves, residual static sparks flicker off the armor. And the first skill is a skill that surrounds the wearer with a storm aura—raindrop-like energy particles fall around, camouflaging and reducing detection while amplifying lightning attacks, which Tyler is calling Stormveil. And the color palette was an Iridescent jungle green. And the weapon he obtained was a new lance called Stormfang, a long spear with a jagged, lightning-bolt-style fang spearhead. The effects caused sparks to jump across the blade, and during jumps, it glowed bright white-blue, like a thunderbolt. Okay, maybe this will take forever to describe. I should have thought about this, but oh well.

Chris' armor/outfit was a long coat with gold solar patterns, molten cracks, and ember effects. Sleek, rebellious hunter vibe with radiant flare. And weapons are a transforming greatsword/gun hybrid glowing like a piece of the sun, with heat shimmer and solar explosions during combos. The skill was called Solar Ascendant, and its passive, Radiant, created a golden aura of light around surrounding areas. The skill also provided a buff to his sword, which, if he landed a lot of attacks with it, caused each subsequent attack to do explosions. And the color was Deep crimson and sun-gold. For the weapon, it was called Solar Rebellion, and in its gun mode, the handle flips, and the sunburst guard opens like solar petals, firing solar flare blasts with explosive knockback. Eva was called Abyss Riffbreaker. The design was a Cropped leather punk jacket + sports bra + torn pants + chains + spikes + glowing purple void runes + neon accents. And her weapons were called Bassbreaker Gauntlets. Spiked gauntlets that are both void-powered and soundwave-blasting, glowing like a demonic bass speaker. Every punch emits a purple-black shockwave with distorted sound effects like a bass guitar riff. And the ultimate from it was where she slams both fists into the ground, creating a giant void-soundwave explosion that looks like a concert speaker imploding reality. My armor was called Emberveil Onna-musha. Crimson samurai breastplate with ember-cracked cleavage, thigh-high boots, torn ember sash, glowing flame tattoos. Leona's was a Hooded, rune-etched corset with a sheer slit skirt. The skills of the outfit were the ability to clone herself and explode when someone touches it, and lastly (thank fuck), Samantha's suit was a cyber-samurai with wyvern crystal plating, glowing circuit bodysuit, and elemental-shifting katana. Plus, her katana would shift colors depending on the element.

"Honestly, getting all of this done is amazing. It's fun doing all of this," Jacqueline said as the screen behind her turned red and flashing. "We have an emergency," Cubie said. "A lot is happening, but we were given a warning. World One Chris will be attacking in five days, and Rachel will be in another five days. So we need to be prepared, but we have a situation at this location," Dad said, showing us. "This was the house for a great soldier who fought with me back in the day. Sadly, he passed, but it seems he's back to life, but the darkness is attacking that house along with an android with dark energy coming off of it." Dad told us. "We need to label their little grunt they have. But we're on it," Chris said.

We all flew out to the house and saw a man outside, almost being killed by the main android, before we blasted it, which caused four lesser androids to protect it. "Get rid of all of them," the male android said as the four lesser ones came at us with ninja weapons. We fought them all with the help of the person we were rescuing. "I think I know who you all are. Especially those four girls. You all, Johnny kids," He said to us. "We are. We need to get you out of here," Eva said. "No, I want my house. We need to kill that bastard," He said. "We can save him. He's just being taken over," We told him. We then fought the main android, which had the powers of wind. As we were fighting him, he kept holding his head and trying to fight something, but then wings came out of his and Bahamut energy started to come out of him too. We kept fighting until we got him weak enough that I could use my katana to drain the darkness out of him. "Is he okay now?" The guy said as I noticed he had a russian accent. "Yeah, he's good...What was your name?" I asked him. His name is Nikolai. And I'm honestly glad he's back to life, but right back into another war," Matt said, flying to us. "Matt? You're alive to?!" Nikolai said, shocked but happy, as the two of them hugged happily. "Aww, two friends reunited," Leona said, pleased about this. We then turned around to see the android getting up, but it was very weak and drained. What the hell happened? Who the hell am I?" He said.

"Calm down. My name is Tuya." Before she finished, he interrupted her. "Tuya? Wait, Tuya, it's me, Nariaki," He said. "I remember you. You were a new dragon coming up. I said nothing would happen to you, but I failed." Tuya said, sounding sad. "You did not fail my queen. What do I need to do?" He asked us. Leona summoned her giant ice dragon. "Hop on. I'll fly us to the base so everything can be explained." Leona said as Nariaki and Nikolai got on and flew away. "Hey, I'm near Hawaii, but I'm sensing some darkness over here. Trio and I are about to warn them. You all need to get here quickly," Evie told us. "What the hell are they doing there?" Chris said. As we were about to leave, we heard someone talking to us. "Go...save my people," The female voice said as she showed herself. "Who are you?" Tyler asked. "You will know after you save my people. The Hawaiian island." She said before disappearing. "Her people?" Chris asked, confused. "I have no idea, but let's get to them quickly," I said as we all flew away
