My Light

As we walked, I couldn't help but feel a bit anxious about being here. Maybe it was that we were surrounded by a bunch of Magitek soldiers, machines, or maybe it was something that I didn't know that was off-putting me. Either way, it didn't feel very satisfying, and I think Noctis could sense that. "You alright?" Noctis asks me quietly as he turns to face me and the others look over to us. "I'm fine. I just feel like something isn't right here." I say and Noctis looks at me in concern. "Stay by me, alright?" he says, and though I would usually argue, something told me to comply with him. I nod my head and we start to walk once again, keeping a careful eye out for magitek armors. We suddenly see an opening, and spot two soldiers keeping guard. "Target the blind spot. One hit, one kill." Ignis informs Noctis and he nods. Noctis carefully walks forward, leaving my side, and warp-kills one soldier, then the other, and then the last. "Not bad. Might still be hope for you." Gladio says to Noctis, who just rolls his eyes.

We make our way to the gate, and Noctis punches in the code to unlock it. Once unlocked, we walk through and look to see a tall tower with a red beam shooting up in the sky. "This what's powering the base?" Prompto asks and I look over to Ignis knowing that he was more informed in this type of intelligence. "A magitek generator of some description. I would explain why in the vicinity uncommonly strong." Ignis explains to us. "I say we wreck it. Spare us the sneaking around." Gladio says and I cross my arms. "The risk is too great. Finding the Regalia comes first." Ignis says and I nod. "Ignis is right. We should find the Regalia before anything else." I say and suddenly, I hear a noise. We peak over the side a bit to see Magitek soldiers keeping guard, "Not a sound. You'll alert the enemy." Ignis says to Noctis. "Got it." Noctis says then he looks over to me and I look at him. "Be careful." I tell him and he nods kissing my forehead, then warp-killing a Magitek soldier. I watch him as he continues to kill Magitek soldiers until he finally gets caught. I materialize a dagger to my hand and throw it at a Magitek soldier. My dagger reappears in my hand and I throw it again at another Magitek soldier. Once they were all killed, we start to look around for the Regalia. We make our way to a gate and punch in a code.

Once the gate opens, we carefully walk in, and look around to see the Regalia parked straight ahead. "There's the old girl." Noctis says with a smile. "She's a real sight for sore eyes." Prompto says and I nod in agreement. "And none the worse for her time in imperial hands." Ignis says as we make our way to the Regalia. Suddenly, we hear a loud stomp and the ground shakes a bit. We turn to see a machine and I materialize a sword in my hand as I glare at the magitek. "Change of plans. Our new objective is to clear a path for the Regalia." Ignis says, and we dash over to it. Noctis warp-strikes the machine and we all start attacking it. Once the machine was down, Magitek soldiers started attacking from all sides and I fought them off. It was difficult, but I managed to block every attack and kill some. I feel someone charge at me from behind, so I put up a force field to block my back as I materialize a dagger and throw it at a Magitek soldier. I then materialize my sword and attack the soldiers around me. Once all the Magitek soldiers were killed, I look at the men around me. "We'll take out the generator and all enemies in the area. Noct, focus your efforts on the generator--there is a chance doing so will weaken the MT's." Ignis says. "No more stealth?" Noctis asks and I raise a brow at him . "I think we lost our stealth method when we got caught back with the Regalia." I say with a hand on my hip. "Aura is correct. Our cover's blown. Go to town." Ignis says and I smirk. "Yes sir!" Prompto says in a cheerful tone, more cheerful than usual.

As we make our way to the generator, we were attacked by Magitek soldiers. Ignis tells us to hold nothing back, so I materialize my sword and attack them. An MT manages to shoot a missile and I somehow manage to stop it with my telekinesis. I turn the missile around and throw it back at the MT. The MT blows up and I go back to fighting Magitek soldiers. Once those were all gone, we make our way to where the generator is located. Sunlight started to break through the darkness of night, and that's when I realized that we had been here all night. Well, after this, I'm sure as hell taking a long ass nap in the car on the way back. As we make our way to the location, I see an MT and Magitek soldiers all around, "This thing is serious business." Noctis says and I nod in agreement. "A handful indeed." Ignis agrees with him as we run in. "It's times like this where I wish Akiko were here. She and her quirky remarks would come in handy right now." I say as I dodge an oncoming attack from a soldier. "I bet she would." Prompto says and I roll my eyes with a smirk. I stab a soldier and dodge another as I feel the breeze pick up around me and my weapons appear around me in a crystalized form. They all combine to create the sword and I start attacking the MT head on first. Once the MT was down, my weapons go back to their original state, and I attack the Magitek soldiers. "It's time." Ignis says to Noctis as we all attack.
