1985: Dawn of a New World (A Summoner Fanfic)

Chapter 36 - Red Alert

Excitement filled the arena as the new rule was announced. Yvette made her cone-like weapon form an invisible shield to protect herself and Randall from the blazing flames of Myrtle's bennu. "Uhmmm, shall I summon my golem to attack her?" Randall inquired, unsure of what to do in their current situation. "No wait. she'll simply push your golem away. She might even send it flying towards us with that gravitational weapon of her. Just stay put for a while and keep our distance." Yvette replied as she concentrate on their defense. "Well, how about my knuckle?" Randall followed up still in his monotonous tone. "Yes we will be needing that but not yet. I'll tell you when to act." Yvette replied making Randall nod in agreement.

Myrtle on the other hand, simply observed, keeping her eye on her teammates who can do no more than to defend themselves from her bennu.

"Is she really going to simply let her demon do all the work? And why isn't Randall over there doing anything? He should summon that knuckle of his already!" Lyra impatiently spoke as she watch from the other end of the arena.

"Let's see what they are planning. They definitely know Myrtle than we do." Mark replied in an attempt to make Lyra to simply observe which somewhat worked.

"Randall, listen. When I say 'now', quickly run towards your left, summon your knuckle and make it quickly fly over her bennu. Then when it's right above Myrtle, shower her with your demon's poison. Understood?" Yvette commanded, talking as softly as she can. "Copy." Replied Randall. "Good let's just wait a bit more till I grab enough mana from her bennu's flames."

"NOW!" With Yvette's command, the two quickly split up, running on opposite directions. Randall then quickly summoned his knuckle and dutifully accomplished what Yvette instructed him earlier. Before the knuckle's poison can reach Myrtle however, the girl released some kind of force that was able to disperse the poison away from her, along with her bennu, Randall's knuckle, with Randall and Yvette who were all sent flying towards the wall of the huge dome shield.

Yvette used her cone shaped weapon to safely catch her with a shield while Randall was unfortunately slammed on the mana shield that the officers created and fell to ground. The boy however, was miraculously unscathed in spite of the fall.

"Quickly! We've got one minute before she can use that again! Make your knuckle dive towards her then I'll take care of her bennu!" Quick in acting, Randall again did as he was told while Yvette switched her weapons to attacking mode then fired shots of laser towards Myrtle's bennu.

To defend herself, Myrtle summoned her shrike matriarch to wrestle against Randall's knuckle while she made her bennu fire another breath of flames towards Yvette.

"Fighting with two high level demons? Is she really just a cadet?" A comment from an audience which started different murmurings among the other audience as well.

Yvette then summoned her khnum, whom she made to race towards Myrtle while she defend herself against the bennu's flames. Just about an inch away, Yvette's khnum was about to land a fist against Myrtle when she was able to release another force to drive the khnum away along with a scarab that seemed to be hiding behind the khnum.

"You're still as clever as always Yvette. You thought I'd never see that scarab do you?" Myrtle smiled as the khnum along with the wrestling shrike matriarch and knuckle flew away from her due to the force she released earlier.

"Well we still have a couple..." Yvette seemingly chocked, upon sniffing a poison from Randall's knuckle which seemed to still be hovering in the air.

"No. Yvette!" For the first time, Randall's words were suddenly filled with worry. He ran towards Yvette but was suddenly cut short by the bennu's flames.
