At least I'm Alive

Attacks

While in the sky, as the wind blew her hair behind her.

Abela had some thoughts that made her regret.

She panicked so much she told Ajax to transform infront of those people.

Abela groaned.

Ajax hawked as they arrive at the area.

It was in the Imperial streets.

'what a risky move to do' Abela thought.

They landed on the streets where the glass of stores were broken, tons of people wounded. While some were scared of Abela and Ajax and hid.

There were a few men with handkerchief as a mask holding out knives.

They were surprised by the huge eagle.

Abela rubbed Ajax's back and whispered "lend me your strength." As Ajax's forehead touches hers.

Ajax transforms back to a child and the culprits got angry.

Abela quickly grabbed a thick metal poll that was lying on the ground from the explosion.

One of the men ran to her and aimed for her chest. She hit his arm making him drop the knife.

She quickly hit his shoulder and kicked his leg. He limped and started chasing her.

Abela grabbed a glass shard and threw it on his leg. Stabbing him and making him fall on the ground.

While Ajax easily beat the two culprits left by dodging their stabs and punching them afterwards.

He used his powers and jumped high, banging their heads together.

Making them fall unconscious.

"Abela!" A woman's voice called from behind.

"Lenore, hurry come here." Abela turned, not noticing the man who was holding a glass shard about to stab her.

"Watch out!" Lenore said running, and kicking his head. Making him unconscious.

"Oh, thanks." They high-five.

Abela turned to the frightened people and said "it's okay, we'll protect you."

As a small family came out.

A woman said "thank you for your help. These men have been acting suspicious and left the store. I smelt gunpowder and asked everyone to leave. Unfortunately some did not listen and..."

She looks at the corpses

"You did great. I will make sure you are awarded." Abela bowed.

The woman and her family bowed.

"You should call for help." Abela told Lenore.

Lenore nodded and rushed away.

"Ajax, deal with these three psychos." Abela ordered.

"Yes master." Ajax bowed.

...

"I heard you were at an explosion scene." The Archduke said.

Abela stood infront of him as the duke sat on his desk.

"That's dangerous. You even fought with the culprits." He said writing on the paper.

Abela banged her hands on his desk and said "father! How are you so calm? Many people died today because of that explosion!"

The Archduke fixed his glasses and faced Abela

"Yes, there had been more than 100. This is the first one in the empire. Good work. Where are the culprits?" He asked.

"They're with Kai. Dad, can I come with you when you interrogate?" She quietly asked.
