Battle for the Photon Core WATTPAD VERSION [Inter-Universal Protectors: Book 1]

Chapter Thirty-Three (Amneris)

Ranks of the Terpolite army rushed towards them. They stood their ground. No one dared make a move. Leo gave Amneris a sidelong glance. She nodded slightly before turning back to the crowd coming before them. She could not help a small smile at the feeling running through her body. The only reason no one else saw it was because she was standing at the head. She was in charge. She let out a battle cry. The warriors behind her took it up as they charged forward.

The Queen lashed out at all who had the courage who attacked her with her power and her khopesh. She had forgotten the thrill that came with a large battle instead of one against many. It had been so long since she felt this way. Sure, one-on-one battles gave her the feeling, but this was something different. As much as she preferred fighting on her own, there was something about being with an army that brought that feeling through her. She had not felt this particular ecstasy for five thousand years.

Amneris caught an attack on the blade of her sword. She ducked under the attacker, sweeping her foot up. They were knocked to the ground. She pushed her sword through their heart. Less than a second later, three others were upon her from all sides. She threw her power over one arm, swinging it towards them as though it were a cyan shield. They went flying into another group approaching her. She switched her khopesh for her staff, waiting until the next group were close enough. When they were, she spun, knocking them all away.

Seeing an opportunity, she jumped. Immediately, she was high above the battlefield, able to see everything.

Nikki was attacking from the air in her dragon form. Several winged soldiers attacked her with chains that were wrapped around her body and neck. She shifted again, returning to her preferred eagle form. The Shifter grasped her attackers in her claws before tossing them away. They were nothing but a dot on the horizon. She shifted again, returning to the dragon form and breathing fire towards the next set of warriors who came towards her. One managed to escape. She slammed her tail down on them and they went plummeting to the ground where they landed on another group. She roared.

Nearby, Leo and Jay were tag-teaming. Leo was moving forward, clearing the path for them with his twin gladii. The second someone stepping in his path, he sliced them down in a beautiful fashion. Jay stayed close behind, putting a stop to those who were attempting to take his partner by surprise with his power. One second, he would be sending bolts of green energy towards them as a distanced attack. The next, his power had morphed into a sword and he was on top of his attackers. The movements of the pair were so fast that the regular eyes of the soldiers had difficulty keeping up.

Across the field, Hathor was flying Ray into the sky. It was an amazing feat to watch, especially since Hathor almost never flew. Ray seemed to tell her to stop. The Dreama created a platform of power to stand upon as both women wielded bows. In unison, they both shot a single arrow into the sky. It vanished. Moments later, a shower of arrows fell upon the soldiers before them, some how distinguishing between friendly and not. The two women moved to stand back-to-back before repeating the process. More soldiers fell below them.

Something else quickly caught Amneris' eye. Colt was holding his blades up against Tara who was quite literally seated on her high horse. The strange thing was that no one else was around them. This was a one-on-one fight within the middle of a battle. What is that idiot up to? Amneris used her power to push herself towards them and landed beside Colt. She gave him a questioning look, almost jumping back at the darkness in his eyes. He wanted Tara all to himself.

She opened her mouth to stop him, but he was already racing towards her. Tara had dismantled and was mirroring his actions with her twin daggers in her hands. Somehow, Amneris understood. This was between them. She threw a shield around them to stop others from interfering before she herself interfered. She jumped between them, swinging her staff like a bat and whacking Tara to the edge of her shield. It shattered on impact from the force. Colt gave the Queen a look of amazement before rushing after Tara who had disappeared within the frenzy of solders. Amneris stayed close behind.
