The crew were afloat in the air with Ziora as captain. Her father taught her to fly
for emergency purposes. Seems as though his plan back fired on him, for his
daughter used her lessons for the wrong purposes according to him. Nyozom
begged Reign to stay behind for her protection, after a heated argument, she
complied. Within the aircraft, Yuki slept peaceful on Shurui's shoulder as he
argued with Chintaman about anime.
“I would have all females make me lunch in a cute but big bento box!”
“Shurui you need a girl to like you first!” That’s how anime works!”
“What…what are you implying?!”
“He’s saying you can’t get a girl…” Yuki spoke suddenly.
“YOU GO BACK TO SLEEP!!”
“How can I sleep with your voice in my ears every minute?”
“What about Chintaman's voice?!”
“His voice isn’t annoying…”
“Why y’all two ganging up on me?!”
“Because it’s fun…” they spoke simultaneously.
“Ummmmm…..people…”
“What's up Nyozom?” as he started out the window, his brain was boggled by the
size of something huge. Bigger than their airship.
“WHAT THE FRUCTOSE!!!!” Shurui’s eyes dilated at it’s colossal size.
“What the hell is that doing behind us?! And who the hell is driving it?!” Yuki's
comment now made everyone wonder, who was driving an airship twice bigger
than their stolen one?
“Ziora who is-“ Shurui was cut off by her response.“You will know soon enough…but everyone…get ready….she will not make this
easy for us…”
“She…who is-“ once again his sentence was cut off as the woman came into the
light.
“THIS WOMAN IS CRAZY!!” Nyozom could not believe her presence in the airship.
“Correction…my dad is crazy. He doesn’t want me to go anywhere one mile away
from the palace. Well he won’t keep me locked up anymore. Guys…get ready to
fight!”
Ziora halted her airship and with the power of nature, vines and branches from
the trees below bloomed and grew to the airships above the clouds, holding them
in position for battle. The airships were six feet a part.
“We might as well fight it out here, we don’t want to endanger the people in
Paradaisu Village” her hands released the wheel, joining the guys at the back.
Even though it was a fight against one….she should not be underestimated. As
Ziora is about to explain.
“Guys whatever you do, stay keen, nimble and do not think for second that we
can win. Remember she only came here for me, I assume her plan is to disregard
you four and just capture me”
“So you shouldn’t fight she might catch you off guard” Yuki said concerned.
“Oh don’t you worry about little old me. I had to be fighting her a lot to hone the
ability I have. It's you guys I'm worried about. All you got was a taste of her
strength as she fought against Nyozom, you didn’t get a whole meal. So be
careful…fear is not in her name…”
“Right!!” shouted them all.
Nyozom being the impulsive one he is, attacked first.
“Nyozom stop! We have to work as a team!!” Shurui tried to convince him but he
was already surrounded by yellow lightning charging at Ligea.
“ROUND TWO LIGEA!!”
Her feet so nimble they were, jolted up and into a run on the aircraft's fabric.
Nyozom shouted,“SINGLE BOLT!” he shot a bolt of lightning in her direction. Its exact motion
moved quickly, yet Ligea was able to dodge it at the cost of a cut on her face. She
unleashed a black baton with electricity surging through it. All thanks to its
metallic material and the button on her palm being connected to the baton,
resulting in electricity surging through. Nyozom ducked from her swing very well,
but her leg rose up to give him a roundhouse kick to the stomach. Her baton hit
his chest, shocking him which he found unusual.
“How….did you shock me…..I-“
“Control lightning I know…but this device in my hard, gives me the opportunity to
shock you and you to feel the pain. It was designed specifically for you since you
always caused suck a ruckus in the town”
“I see”
“Just two more strikes and you're out”
“Well then...let's continue shall we? BLAZE!”
“What did you just do?”
“Blaze is an ability of mine that enhances my speed, my lightning's speed and my
trajectory…don’t think I'll miss this time!” his left and right hands sparked the
energy of the heavens and he shouted again.
“DOUBLE BOLTS!” a literal eye blink was all it took and the two yellow bolts of
lightning struck her right arm and left leg. He jumped backwards a bit, creating
some distance between them and letting the smoke clear.
“Though your right arm and your left leg are wounded and bleeding, I was aiming
for the opposite arm and leg, but that’s the problem with Blaze and I, it’s difficult
to control my trajectory for how fast and flexible it is. I am sorry for hurting you,
but I need to protect my friends”
“Don’t be sorry. This is battle. Kill me if you’d like. Because I intend on killing you”
she moved just as agile as before, this time behind him, then in front, then the
left, and right, until she took her aim and struck him again with the baton by the
heart.
“The harder I squeeze this button in my hand connected to the baton, the more
volts that pass through. I struck you by your heart with 1000volts…however….I
see you are still standing…well barely…considering you’re on your left knee”“Are you….trying….to kill me? I might have the power of lightning but I am still
human….lightning so close to the heart is dangerous….”
“Next time…I will strike your head. Where your brain lies. With enough pressure
and if I strike at the right time…I could very well kill you”
“Well I don’t want that now do I? Fine then, wanna play dirty…I can
too…ELECTROCUTION CONCATENATION!” the atmosphere sparked all
around them. Within seconds yellow irregular spears of electricity shocked into
existence.
“Ten Spheres…” Ligea was not stupid. She didn’t know what was happening but
she knew she had to distance herself from him. She jumped back three times. The
yellow spheres one by one, made there way to her.
[What is this? What is he doing?]. Her thoughts rolled in as the spheres stayed on
her tail then surrounded her. Trapping her in a spherical prison hovering in the
air.
“You are a strong and difficult person I will admit. I honestly thought I didn’t have
a chance against you. But then I realized. I wasn’t giving you 100% of my power”
“So this here is only 50?”
“This here, is less than fifty…when my lightning colour is yellow, that is the first
phase of my power. Once the colour goes white… -the spheres changed to pure
white- “I am fully at 100%” highlights of white were now seen in his hair and
streaks of white light in his eyes.
“When the spheres are yellow, they strike the enemy with 2000volts from each.
And since there are ten spheres…well….you do the math…and to add salt to the
wound, once white, it will shock up to 4000volts, each sphere”
“I see. Well hurry up…”
“I won’t kill you. I’m not like that. You are just doing your job and I understand
that. However I will immobilize you”
“I thank you for your mercy, if we fight again….I will try to kill you”
“Well I will return the favor…see you later!” and with that said, Nyozom reduced
the amount of volts and ended the battle with a literal blast from all spheres. Hetook an enormous jump to the other airship, while powering down. Everyone was
astonished by his strength and battle.
“What?”
“That was a beautiful battle” Ziora spoke with fascination.
“I was not about to let a lightning user wannabe show me up”
“You are very powerful Nyozom”
“Thanks Shurui!”
“But not as powerful as me, I'd still beat you”
“I didn’t even use all my different power abilities!”
“Neither did I”
“Anyway let’s go, we have a lot more to do!” Yuki shouted.
Ziora released the vines and branches from her ship and carried on, until Yuki
asked a question.
“Are we just gonna leave her there…and the ship?”
“Yes. The guards will look for her and it will be easy to spot her in the air”
While travelling, everyone heard the grumble of their stomach and luckily for
them, Ziora was Royalty and food was present with her. She positioned the airship
in autopilot mood for Paradaisu as they enjoyed their meals with relaxing, heartily
and hilarious conversations. Switching from topic to topic, living in the present.
“HEY!!! I’M NOT DONE WITH YOU!!! I WILL SEE YOU AGAIN AND NEXT TIME I'LL
DESTROY YOU!!!”
“I didn’t know she had a crazy side” Shurui stated.
“Oh yes she does. When she loses in anything, that’s when it kicks in” Ziora
explained.
“So she’s like shurui trying to get a girl!?” Yuki busted out.
“Exactly!”
“STOP PICKING ON ME!! I CAN GET A GIRL!!”
“An imaginary girl…”
“I HEARD THAT CHINTAMAN!!”
