Chapter 97 - Saved

"Although that explosion you set off hurt like hell I'm sure your arms are in much more pain. How much more can you endure I wonder?" Ren said.

I'd been taking turn with my arms so they'd have the same amount of uses left. He probably figured that out by now so I needed to be more careful. 'How much time do I have left on this electricity spell?' I wondered.

Ren suddenly appeared in front of me and punched me in the stomach. Before I could even react to Ren he elbowed be onto the ground. He went for another punch but I just barely rolled away from it. I jumped off the ground making sure to keep my eyes on Ren so he wouldn't disappear again. A sudden tap on my shoulder made me turn around and face another Ren who punched me across the face.

"I know I said using clones would be a waste of energy but I won't waste much with only one." The Ren behind me said.

Ren pushed me forward allowing the Ren in front of me to land a blow to my stomach. The Ren behind me elbowed me causing me to fall down. A sharp jolt of pain came from my side as I was sent flying away. Before I could touch the ground I quickly positioned myself so I could land on my feet.

One of the Rens began charging at me and threw a punch. I dodged his attack and kicked him in the ribs. Despite the power I put behind my kick, Ren didn't even flinch. He grabbed my leg and threw me towards the other Ren who was winding his arm up for a punch.

"Oh son of a b-." I said, getting hit directly in the face.

I soon fell to the ground. The pain my nose was in was unbearable. I saw both Rens walk in front of me. The one to the left disappeared leaving the real Ren left. I attempted to pick myself up but failed and fell right back down.

"Even with all your injuries you still keep fighting. You're putting all this work in for a person who know almost nothing about." Ren said, squatting down next to me.

"Even if I don't know that person, I'll fight all the same for them." I said, trying to pick myself up again.

I could hear Ren let out a sigh. He soon raised himself back up and looked down on me. As he looked at me a hammer suddenly came smashing into his face knocking him away.

"Good thing we made it back in time." Veronica said.

Her armor was severely damaged and she herself didn't seem to be in good condition either. Erika was next to her and didn't seem to be in much better condition. Erika ran over to me and began chanting a spell.

"This won't heal all the damage you took but you'll feel better." Erika said.

Kerrin and Jyn soon appeared next to us and continued to fight. Their speed was something out of this world. Kerrin really was going easy on me in our fight.
