"What? A Titan?" Phil peeked over his shoulder. "Damn!" He sped up and ran as fast as he could. We zipped through the streets in a hurry, hoping that we would lose the monster behind us.
"This is bad. How the hell did a Titan appear in this world?" Phil scrunched his eyes in worry.
"Are you sure that's a Titan? I thought there isn't one on Earth."
"I'm not sure, but that monster fits the exact description of a Titan of Torren's history. The pungent smell and the tattoo that stops at its heart."
"Wait, you were able to see all that?"
"My vision is better than a hawk."
"That's impressive."
"No time to compli-"
Boom!
Phil skidded to a stop and took a sharp turn. The Titan destroyed the fence that we were going to hop over and blocked our way. Screams of people could be heard as they ran around, trying to get away from the mayhem.
Gritting his teeth, Phil ran in between the thin building, hoping to keep the Titan back. Instead, like a bull, the Titan bulldozed through the building, causing a giant gap. I couldn't help but feel that if the Titan was not stopped, he would destroy many more and endanger the people around us.
Fishing through my pocket, I pulled out three magic stones that I had left. I threw the first magic stone behind Phil.
"Barrier!"
A blue barrier appeared in front of the Titan. With a crash, the barrier broke into a million pieces from the Titan's impact. I threw a second one on the Titan's face.
"Explode! Explode!"
Boom! Boom!
A perfect hit landed on the Titan's face. Coming out from the smoke, a chunk of his face was missing. Even still, that didn't stop the Titan from rushing forward.
I knew that was not enough, but I hoped that would temporarily stop the Titan, but it barely did anything. That was a level D Magic Stone. I didn't have any more programmed Magic Stones anymore, and instead, I prayed that we would escape in time.
Coco turned around and dashed forward, she lowered her head towards the Titan without a single hint of fear.
"Coco! No!" I cried out in horror and fear. I didn't want her to die.
Coco jumped onto the wall, and a blazing fire like horn appeared on her head. All over her body, a fire erupted around her. A bright sheen of light appeared at the tip of her horn, and a blast of fire energy shot forward.
The Titan held up his arms, but couldn't stop the energy from hitting his arm. A large gaping hole was created in his left arm, becoming useless. With the other arm, the Tian slammed his right arm into the wall causing the building to collapse.
Coco jumped upwards, wall-to-wall, and disappeared before she got buried. I was glad that she didn't get hurt and instead escaped. Seeing her hurt, because of me, made me furious, but right now, I couldn't do anything. The stupid restraint caused me to stay stuck in my human body with not much power. This was the one time I wished I could shift and punch the daylights out of the Titan.
Large pieces of the building fell from overhead, and Phil gracefully jumped through the falling debris without getting caught. I knew I was not as nimble and quick as him. If I was, I wouldn't be in his arms right this minute. This whole princess carrying thing was not something that I was used to. Right now, I couldn't complain.
Phil gritted his teeth. He skidded to the right.
"How close are we?"
"A couple of blocks left."
Phil continued to run. The Titan bulldozed through the building, causing it to completely collapse. Cars screeched to a halt and were thrown around like toys. Nothing was stopping, the Titan that was coming after us.
Every second felt like a whole hour. The Titan was getting closer and closer. I could already smell the putrid air that was invading my nose, making me want to hurl. "Was all the past Titans's body odor this bad?"
"Yes." Phil was having trouble breathing. I could tell that his speed was slowing down because he was having a difficult time breathing. He was panting out of his mouth, tears streamed down his face.
Even I was having a hard time breathing from the overwhelming stench. I had to close my nose with my finger and breathed through my mouth, but I could still smell the putrid air.
I could tell that in the next couple of minutes, we will be overrun. Closing my eyes, I felt the magical power in my body. My hands raised towards the Titan, and I pointed.
"Fire Ball!"
A large fireball the size of my fist shot out from my fingers and went flying towards the Titan. With a flick of his hands, the Titan swatted the fireball as if it was nothing.
"Fire Ball! Fire Ball! Fire Ball!" The fireball became bigger and bigger from each cast, but not a single one harmed him.
Annoyed, I threw a different elemental attack. "Ice Arrows!" Swirls of large Icicles that were like spears appeared around me. I compacted the icicles as hard as I possibly could, making them tougher and sharper. I flung the arrows towards the Titan one after another. Half of them were destroyed, but the other half embedded itself into the Titan's body.
"Yes!" I shouted in glee, but my happiness was short-lived. The Titan broke off each icicle without any care, and he still bulldozed forward. "What the hell is going to stop it?!"
Coco flew from the side and impaled the Titan with her horn. The Titan roared, causing the windows to shatter from its voice. A burst of flame engulfed the Titan, and Coco pulled back. The Titan swung side-to-side, the cars to fly temporarily stopping the Titan.
We finally saw the Blue Rose Host Club not too far away. Phil didn't stop, and he ran with full speed till we finally arrived at the front. Coco came running up behind Phil and changed gracefully back into her human form. She opened the door for us to enter.
"Don!" I cried out. I was so glad to see him. "Get us out of here!" Phil placed me on the ground allowing me to walk on my own two feet.
"What's the rush?" Don was looking at me, confused. He was standing at the entrance of the Hostess Club.
"No time! Go! Go! Go!" I pushed him in the back.
"Calm down, you need to tell me what's going on."
"Move!"
Boom!
The walls shook, and the people inside screamed in horror. Don't look up in shock and see the Titan charging towards us.
"What the hell is that?"
"Hurry!"
People were streaming out of the building in a hurry. Don understood and turned towards the direction of where we needed to go. Phil, Coco, and I ran close behind him. The rumbling of the building became more apparent, we could hear the Titan coming closer.
We ran down the stairs and appeared in front of the basement door. Don fingers fumble around his pocket, sweat started to drip down his face as he rummaged for the key.
"Come on, Don." I hurriedly replied. The Titan hand ripped the doorway from behind us. We could hear the metal crashing into another building.
"Don't push me," said Don. He opened the door with the key allowing us to enter. We ran through nonstop. Zigzagging through the massive pile of debris and unwanted items.
"This way!" Don took a sharp turn.
Bang!
The door behind us was ripped open once again.
"Gragg!"
The Titan bulldozed his way through the door knocking over the mountain of items. It became a domino effect causing everything else to fall over like an approaching tide.
Up ahead, we saw a small door that was five feet wide and five feet high. We ran with everything we got. Don reached. His hand reached out, and with a vicious yank, he opened the door. He jumped through without looking back.
"Young mistress, I'll hold him back!" Coco shouted. She was in front of me, and I didn't want her to stop.
"This is an order! Go in now!"
"But!"
"Now!" I pushed her. Coco fell forward, and she crawled through behind him.
"Phil!" I looked behind to see him close.
"Go! I'll be right behind you!"
I nodded and fell on my knees. I variously crawled through the small door, my hand scraped against the stone-cold ground, and even my heart started to thump wildly out of frenzy.
Boom!
Boom!
The sound of an explosion could be heard behind us, but I couldn't hear anything except the pitch-black darkness. Not being able to see made moving a lot more complicated. I didn't know where the end of the beginning was. Even the sound of things blowing up wasn't making the trip any better.
"Coco? Don?" I called out.
"I'm here, young mistress."
"Keep crawling!" Don shouted. His voice was resounding around me.
"Phil?" I once again called out.
No answer followed from my call.
"Phil? Are you there?" I stopped. Did he make it? I couldn't help but be worried. Did the Titan get him? What the heck happened behind me?
"Phil!" This time I shouted.
Suddenly, I felt something hit me in the butt.
"Gaaaaaah!" I screamed out in shock. I kicked behind me, and I heard someone cry out in pain.
"Who's there?"
"Damn it, Berry. Why did you stop? Did you have to kick me?" Phil grumbled.
"Phil?"
"Yea?"
"You're alive?"
"I'm alive. I said I was right behind you."
"I thought the Titan got you. I heard explosions."
"That was me. I almost got caught, but luckily I left a new hole in its stomach."
"You did?"
"Yea. Just keep moving, will you?"
"Okay." I let out a sigh of relief and continued to crawl.
"Is everything alright young mistress?"
"Yes. Phil is with us now."
"I'm glad to hear that young mistress."
"Guys! We're almost out of here."
"Great." I let out a sigh. This whole trip back to Earth was a stressful event. I didn't want to visit Japan any time soon, especially if it meant meeting that monster again. We continued onwards until Don opened the door to the other end. Bright light entered through the darkness, and the sunlight welcomed us out.
