Abolith grimaced, rolling out of the way as Evan now launched a massive fireball. Silently she cursed herself for attempting this. One on one she stood a chance against Evan and Casseus, combined though her chances for survival dropped drastically. Digging into her pocket the elf now let loose a flashback, momentarily blinding her attackers.
Kicking Evan and Casseus back, Abolith now sprinted in the opposite direction, hopefully Shay would be able to extract her. "Shay can you hear me?"
"Is everything okay," Shay replied. Abolith chanced a peak behind her, noticing both Casseus and Evan on their feet. The two wizards now calling for troops to pursue her. Ducking behind a corner, Abolith plugged her ears as shots rang out overhead. "Gonna need a way out."
"Did you find what you were looking for?"
Abolith paused, frowning at the statement. The assassins paranoia had driven her to take this unnecessary risk. She couldn't fathom anyone not betraying her, maybe that girl Stella had been onto something about her trust issues. "You could say that."
Shay now relayed an exit, Abolith now sprinting for the exit. It would take some manuevering but if she could just make it to the beach she stood a chance. Glancing below she could see soldiers sprinting in every direction, trying to cut off her escape. As the elf lept to a platform below, she could feel a shooting pain throb through her shoulder as she crashed to the walkway below.
Grasping her shoulder, Abolith winced. She hadn't noticed the soldiers open fire on her nor had she heard the shots over the alarm. Taking a quick look at the damage, she could see the bullet hole. A hole that was now bleeding pretty badly and not healing. "Damn magic bullets," she grumbled as she applied a tourniquet. "Can't these assholes use regular munitions."
Grunting in pain, Abolith now moved as fast as she could towards another room. The Normal it appeared weren't concerned with wasting ammunition as bullets ricochet all around her. Diving for cover the elf now tried to catch her breath, only for her eyes to go wide as two individuals entered the room.
Choon Hee and Ann came to a dead stop. The vampire child and kumiho surprised to have stumbled upon the elf assassin quite by accident. "Hey I know you," Choon Hee exclaimed. "Your Fukushu's girl aren't you?"
Abolith said nothing, trying to sprint for the exit only to have one of Choon Hee's tails swat her down. The kumiho now leered at the elf, her tail wrapping around Aboliths neck. "Yeah your her," she sneered. Chonn Hee now lunged forward with the vampire child, the kumiho sinking her teeth into Aboliths shoulder.
Abolith screamed in pain as she felt the kumiho try to tear a chunk out of her. Grasping her blade she now sunk into deep into the kumiho's chest before kicking the vampire and kumiho away.
"Never tasted a elf heart before," Choon Hee mused as she wiped the blood from her mouth. "What do you say Ann? Want to split a meal?" Ann grinned maliciously, stomping her foot once as she bared her fangs.
Abolith now barely avoid the attack, slashing with her blade before leaping through a window. The elf could feel her muscles throbbing as she watched her blood spill to the floor. "Shay," she grimaced. "I need help!"
"Are you saying what I think your saying!"
"Yes," Abolith cried, as she now limped forward. "Call Fukushu!"
*************************
Darren had been simply laying on his bed staring at the ceiling when he was dragged into this. One moment everything was quiet, the next Akira and Fukushu appeared in a blinding flash of light. Abolith was in trouble and they needed his help. Darren now blinked as he took in his surroundings. They were on a beach, the sun setting around them as the sounds of an alarm rang out.
"Catalyst," Fukushu bellowed. "Stay close. I will need your magic if we are to escape with my beloved!"
Abolith grimaced as she now pushed a rather large grate open. Bruised, bleeding, sad battered the elf now quickly scanned her surroundings before limping for cover. Over the course of the last hour she had dodged patrols as well as the Bosses personal body guards. Choon Hee, Evan, Casseus, and Ann had now left the elf barely able to move.
Checking her wounds, Abokith could see that they were still bleeding. Whatever weapons they were useingwas preventing her from healing as quickly as usual. If she didn't get help soon she would die of blood loss. "Shay what's the status?"
"Island is on high alert," Shay replied. "I don't think I can get within 100 yards without taking fire." Abolith grunted, limping through the shadows as she tried to make her way to shore.
"Fukushu is on his way though," Shay continued. "So keep an eye out he'll find you."
Fukushu, Akira, and Darren now sprinted forward, avoiding the searchlights as they looked for Abolith. From what Fukushu had said Abolith had come to the island looking for information. Things had fine poorly though as Abolith now tried to escape. All Darren was told was that she had made her way to the beach and was heading for shore.
"HALT! Stop right there!!!"
Darren's eyes went wide as a group of Normal soldiers now trained their rifles on the three of them. Akira and Fukushu though were unfazed, leaping forward the two kitsune warriors cut them down without breaking stride. "Keep going," Fukushu bellowed. "She can't be far!"
Peaking out from behind a rock, Abolith could make out a patrol looking for her. The soldiers were sweeping the area with searchlights and in her current condition the elf doubted she could muster much of a defense. The frightened sounds of the men though now caught her attention. Peaking out a wave of relief washed over her as Fukushu sprinted to her side. "Beloved."
Fukushu was stone faced, his eyes twitching in anger as he beheld Aboliths battered body. Scooping the elf in his arms, he now turned to Darren and Akira. "Head for the cave Akira. We will utilize the world mirror there."
