The loud noise startled me and I pulled the trigger.
Please hit, please be a HIT!! I looked at the creature, miss.
“NO-what?” Ice, a mountain of ice. It was covering the truck Max was in, completely. I cautiously walked towards the truck, we all were confused to why it was covered in ice.
“How?” Says Emmy tears forming in her eyes.
“How what?” I ask.
“Hunter he’s dead.” Maddison answers.
“What?!” He’s dead? When, how. No. H-he can’t be.” The ice shattered with a loud crack. A bight figure glowed.
“Oh hello.” Great. Kitsune. “He’s not dead. Guess I didn’t do a good enough job the first time?”
The figure dropped from out of the sky. If he wasn’t dead now he was about to be. He fell through the sky, the sun was begging to come up. A new figure flew through the sky and grabbed the other. Angel flew down with Max safely tucked in her arms.
“Max?” Emmy says as she walks over, tear stains on her cheeks.
“He’s not dead. That's for sure.” Says Angel.
I look at Kitsune, she follows me with her eyes. “Angel take Max away. We’ll deal with this.” I stand facing Kitsune, as does the rest of the team.
“Is this your idea of a threat? You really have to get better at this hero thing.”
“You really need to get better at talking thing.”
“Your quite the talker. If I were you I’d focus on the dragon not me. Oh and you probably need this.” She held the needle in the palm of her hand. Crap. “Guess you won’t be needing this so you shouldn't mind if I break it. Right?”
She dropped it.
“NO!” I watched in horror the only thing capable of defeating the monster was about to be gone. I couldn’t watch. I closed my eyes.
When I opened them it wasn’t shattered on the floor. In fact nothing was they're.
“What?!” Says Kitsune.
“Oh hey, we haven’t formally met. I’m Tracey, you know the person whos gonna kick your butt.”
“You.” There was something about Kitsunes voice, it was the fine line between sweet and mad. Tracey held the needle in between to points in her staff.
“You stop the dragon I’ll take care of this one.”
“You sure?”
“Go.” She tossed me the needle. As I walked away I could hear Kitsune taughting Tracey.
“Where have you been!? I can’t hold this forever, the other five are already out!” Says the mean Scarlet, guess we’re calling her Red.
I look to the sides of me. The other Scarlets lie on the floor out cold. If we drop the barrier I’ll be able to get a clearer shot.
“Drop the barrier.”
“Are you crazy Hunter?!” Says Maddison anxiously.
“No, wait, that could work. We just need to be perpeded it will barely be any weker from the shock.”
“We can help. If you let my snipers do their thing they can create quite the destruction. We’ll aim for its eyes, weak point.” She winked.
“Alright Sargent. Do your thing.”
“We ready?”
“Pfft yeah, were ready for the millionth time.” Says Maddie. I roll my eyes.
“Let’s do this.”
Okay Hunter one shot, seriously this time. If you miss your putting the lives of everyone else at stake. Look at Max.
“Hunter. You ready?” Asks Jewel talking through my earpiece.
“I kinda don’t have a choice.”
“Your ready. You'll do fine-”
“I’m dropping the barrier in 3….2..-”
“One.” I ran out from behind another flipped car, aiming.
The snipers began to fire in it’s eyes it let out a screech that sounded like a sharp nail going down a chalkboard. The sound was earsplitting. My team was doing all they could to keep it in one spot so I could get a clear shot.
“Hunter?”
“I’m kinda occupied Trace.” I say well dodging spikes that the dragon is somehow able to cough up.
“Remember that thing I was talking about? The one that gave others powers?”
“Yeah. Why?”
“She's starting it again. I can see from here. It’s on top the building on your right.”
“Where is Here?”
“Don’t worry about that.”
“I’ll send back up to you-”
“Hurry up and take the shot, see you in a bit.”
I looked in the scope aiming for a clear shot, perfect. One...two...SHOOT!” I pulled the trigger and herd another screech.
“NO!” Screamed Kitsune. “You little BRATS. Doctor, give the Z Dragon M-5639, we need him alive.”
“Don’t let killer doc give the dragon that stuff in the needle, I’m going after Kitsune.”
“I should come too, don’t you think?”
“Tracey, you um-”
“A few scratches never hurt.”
“You call those gashes scratches?”
