*Yin scanned the horizon with a angry scowl. He sees the city which was moment ago filled life and peace now in ruins and chaos in seconds after the Zodiac arrival. He sees the few dozens of dead human civilians being reduced to ash in front of him and Sapphires eyes. He sees the dozens of Zodiacs that have them surrounded. His scowl growing fiercer, he lets a growl as he took one step foreword which made the ground surge with electricity and light making the Zodiacs step back out fear and awe.*
War Master's, Leaya, Tony! The target is here as you said! H-How should we proceed!? *One of the Zodiac's asked as all 50 of them take slow steps back away from the three.*
Excellent, all ground forces you must not harm the target under any means. We're going to assess the targets prowess in battle not capture him yet. You are all a diversion for our units underground as they search and destroy the primary objective as you were briefed.
*Tony responded and ordered bluntly as he and Leaya looked up to the main screen of the Zodiacs air ships command room. On the screen is… Sapphire who looks around horrified at the sight of city and corpses around them. In his mine the scene triggered Glimpses of a traumatic episodes of the past.*
*The ground, made a glimpse into an abyss defying all description and sanity. The air, contaminated with a an odor that can make anyone go mad. The skies, twisted and turned in what was never meant to be. Dozens of purple suns within the new skies...
No. They were eyes. Eyes with neither life or death in them. Their gaze looked up from the ground then at Sapphire. His faint breaths grew even quicker, and even shorter.*
*Those horrid memories grip on Sapphire wane and he came back to. He looked back at Ruarua who looks back at him. He sees her hand's trembling, like his.*
W-Well get through this, Raurua. *He tries to reassure her with a small smile, Merlin then materializes himself attached to Sapphires right arm.*
I'm ready when you are, kiddo.
You three get the hell out of here. *Yin said making Sapphire and Raurua at him with shock. Yin then steps forward but before he could take another Sapphire puts his hand on his shoulder.*
No, Let me talk to them please! *Sapphire begged him but Yin shrugs of his hand and turns to him with a scowl on his face.*
"Talk to them?" Look around you, Bro. Look at what they have done! They slaughtered people by the thousands in seconds! There's is No "talking to them"! For fucks sake, what Im doing arguing with you!? Im getting you both out of here and that's-!
*3 Zodiacs where on Yin in seconds, there blades landing on Yin but 2 shattered like Glass on his shoulder and his legs while the 3 was aimed at his head which he caught with his jaw and chomps down on it viscously. With his fist He sent the 3 flying into buildings which collapsed from the impact.*
Fuck you, batshit bastards! Get the hell out of here now! Run you two! *He ordered as all the Zodiacs let out a war cry as they charged at them and much to Sapphire's frantic dismay they have next to no choice but to defend themselves. Yin, was like a force of nature unleash as the Zodiacs tasted his fury with every bone he broke in there bodies much to Raurua's horror.*
Raurua! *Sapphire call's out to her in fear for well being as she tries to shield the citizens from the horrid display of violence. Sapphire, grabs Raurua and takes off to the skies with her and the two civilians!*
I'm so sorry, Raurua! I should have come out of home sooner! I'll get us out of this! *He tries to reassure her as he rockets off at mach 1 but even at such high speeds they can see the mayhem and destruction in city. Zodiac's killing human's by the hundred's and the Astera Super soldiers trying to fight back against them.*
(Just do what, Yin said! Keep flying and don't look back! For Raurua's sake-! No! N-No I can't! Mom, would never run when people needed her! I know it!) *Sapphire then rockets down too the ground beneath him which is one of the many skirmishes between the Astera and the Zodiacs.*
Fucking damn it, Hold them back, Astera! *The Commander Yells out as his platoon fire volley after volley of explosive bullets from there rifles at the Dozens of Zodiacs charging and firing back at them. Behind them are hundreds of screaming civilians that are fleeing to a airship. Each Astera firing and reloading there weapons in perfect harmony making the Zodiacs advance more and more difficult and costly.*
ZBS, Atlanta we request an aerial bombardment on these coordinates. *Asked a Zodiac soldier as communicated to one of the air ships.*
Coordinates received, Brother. Firing now. *Said a ship officer as one of the ships which is two times bigger then a football field uncloaked and dozens of beams of energy beams at its target. The Zodiac soldier signaled his Battle Brothers and Sisters to retreat and that they did as they dart off confusing the Astera.*
Commander, I'm picking up massive energy discharges from the south! *Said a Astera soldier. They all look to the south and saw the bombardment of lasers coming straight towards them! It's easily enough to vaporize this side of the city! Even with there tech and abilities as Super Soldiers all the Astera's could do was watch. Watch the bombardment come closer and closer. They had next to new means to defend themselves. It was over for them and the citizens.*
Avalon!
*Yelled out Sapphire as he thrust his shield, Avalon forward which lets out a massive magical dome around battlefield and it took the full force of the bombardment! The dome just took it all! Not even single building turned to dust outside of the dome!*
*The dome withdrew back into Avalon. Sapphire who was hovering up above lands on the ground in front of the Astera's although he was panting heavily. The Astera's even the Commander were taken aback as they fell silence as they all stare at him.*
The fighting stops! *Sapphire declared as his hunches foreword form fatigue, his baited breath grew slower as he tries to calm down. Raurua, sitting besides him looks up to him. He's scared like she is, but determined to end this pointless bloodshed. That alone gave her strength to stand up by his side and gesture the woman to head to the Astera's with a nod.*
Right here and right now! *Sapphire declares
Right here and at this very moment! *She said before she could even process what Sapphire was saying. The two stand together, Blue and Red ounce again but for the first time as a team.*
