"YOU!" Stephenson cried out in shock.
His face was in disbelief, he looked like he wanted to ask many questions. A second later they both slammed into the ground. Joey and Rayla both landed on Stephenson and blood splattered from his head onto the ground.
Rocks and stones fell like raindrops. Joey staggered up from the fall, he started to struggle out of the crater. Blood started to trickle from a wound on his forehead that he got from the fight. As he was walking away heard rubble shuffling behind him.
Jacob froze as the shadow stood up behind him. Joey made 2 quick steps and put some distance between them. He looked at the blood man waddling out of the shadow with his fencing blade in his hand.
He placed Rayla down and rushed toward Stephenson, Joey wasn't sure the amount of time Mila had left so he was in a hurry. Stephenson didn't talk but made unrecognizable gibberish.
Graaaah!
He looked at Joey and shouted as he raised his fencing blade to strike. He gurgled a mouthful of blood and his attack froze. Joey never stop continued his attack.
He looked at the spear in his chest and he fell to his knees and fell over. Joey assumed he gave out from his injuries, maybe from the fall but he wasn't sure.
Joey looked at the time on his timer and it was already 12:32 and counting. He rushed and picked up Rayla again. He shouted out and gave a guttural scream as a signal for Mila and he started running.
Joey took less than 3 steps and reached over the hospital wall. He looked up to see he was surrounded by numerous military vans with mounted automatic weapons and military warriors with weapons.
"Move and you die! Surrender yourself immediately" shouted a man with flaming red hair. Joey recognized this man, he was Sajin Janroes that he had seen at the Skyfall Midpoint. Joey had no idea what he was doing here but he was scared.
Joey didn't fancy his chance of winning in a fight against a military warrior when he had yet to finish his awakenings. "Surrender or Die" he shouted madly, Joey still stood there.
"Dammit, After I kick that much ass, will I really get caught like this?" Joey was trying to think of a way he could run away while Sajin was waiting for him to surrender. He was using the time Sajin was giving him.
Sajin waited for Joey to give himself up, but he still stood dumbly. Sajin's face looked disgusted at Joey's defiance, "Do you think I don't dare blast you away mongrel! FIRE!" Sajin shouted.
Joey heard him and turned around to run back to the hospital. That was when a green aura flickered beside him and held his shoulder and pushed him back. Out of the green shadow and body emerged, The barrage of bullets was already upon them. The whole thing happened in a second and Joey watched as Mila raised her hand toward the bullets.
Her hand moved in a feint blur as she deflected every bullet that came close to them. She kept this up for about 10 seconds after she started sending them back. They stopped after a few soldiers were almost blown up.
"What the hell?!" Sajin shouted as he was confused about what happened. The large cloud of smoke took a minute to go away and in that minute Joey couldn't believe what he saw Mila did. She single-handedly deflected all the bullets around them. It wasn't as if she missed some she deflected them all and still was calm enough to return fire.
"I've only killed people that deserved it, I have no reason more to fight" Mila shouted to them.
"Nonsense you think you can kill indiscriminately and let us leave!" Sajin was properly infuriated by her. "Take off those masks and turn yourselves in and I will spare your life!"
Mila clenched her teeth "Stubborn fool!". She walked over to Joey who had Rayla cradled in his arm "Don't underestimate them, just one lead and it's all over" she said as she covered Rayla's face.
"This guy looks serious, I don't think I can beat him, the best I can do it's stall him and allow you guys to escape. Make sure you don't fight anyone, just run no matter what you hear ok kid" Joey nodded sensing the seriousness of the situation.
She patted his shoulders and walked toward the soldiers. "Why must you be so hard-headed? We only killed the bad and left the good. If you're not the one that does it, so what?" Mila spoke. "Nonsense! Do you think anyone can go and kill whoever they feel like? What proof do you have, you mercilessly killed doctors!"
"Fine then! See if you can kill me" Mila's spear coalesced with her ghost-like aura and slashed it toward the ground. The slash cleaved the ground in two and caused the vans to fall into the ground. The slash continued past Sajin Janroes and died off on its own.
Sajin looked slightly surprised as he said "Hmph, your aim is pitiable at best, at least I don't have to feel bad about bullying the weak '' He jumped off the van and made a crater as he landed. In his hand, he held a long silver medieval sword that started to burn.
"My aim is almost as bad as your haircut"
"You better hope it won't be as bad as your corpse"
The two of them stood off and the colour of the atmosphere flickered. Everyone was frozen by the rising pressure of the atmosphere. The pressure skyrocketed, and they both flashed toward each other and produced a loud 'boom'.Their auras flickered against each other and it exploded.
The Armoured vans got bent and lifted up and were blown away by the raging winds.
"GO!!"
During the explosion, Joey heard a shout and he wasted no time and started to run through the blockade.
