Every time I threw my gun I made sure that it was faster than the last time. The difference in speeds was in theory supposed to cause their meat shield to overexert themselves blocking.
While doing this I noticed that my bullets got faster and their impact made more bang than the prior impact. Every time one or two of them tried to go up the walls in order to get me from above, I would shoot for the wall part they plan to use as leverage and cause them to slip and fall.
They could not try and go around because the moment they do I will win. Instead, whenever the guy in the front got overwhelmed he would duck down and the one from behind would take his place. I could not aim for the guy on the ground because that would give the group a chance to close the gap between us.
I stopped shooting and they stopped trying to rush me. We were all breathing heavily but we still had our weapons up and ready to go.
"You know if you put down that coffin you might stand a better chance against us." Said the nosy official.
"Be careful what you wish for." I actually forgot that I had this on me. If I am not allowed to use my Astarian powers then why was I left with an Astarian weapon?
{The weapon bypassed the rule because of the host's "Skill peerless"}
{The host can freely utilize the Astarian treasure.}
'I am definitely not failing this.' I said as I flung the coffin forward.
"FOOL!" The nosy official screamed as he attacked, I blocked with the coffin and kicked it back.
{Media control, acceleration has been used.}
It slammed against the nosy official but quickly lost its momentum because of the sabres.
{Media control, Rewind has been used.}
The coffin flew back to me. The officials came following just as fast but were unable to scratch the coffin. I could not accelerate it because of the sabres' relentless attack.
I let the coffin go and they slipped past me along with it. I kicked one on the head, it's a pity that he wasn't marked for early delivery so I took his sabre while he passed out. They were now one guard down and 3 active. One was on my left along with my coffin and 2 were to my right.
They grinned and laughed sipped out.
"ARG!" They screamed as they attacked from the side. Without the guns, it felt like I had more energy to use And the handles of the sabres actually allowed me to pour my energy into it. Once I did that the sabre changed into a black rapier and was much longer than the ones sported by the officials. I launched myself to the left at super speeds colliding onto the official.
We crashed onto the ground and he fainted. I got up very quickly and slammed metal against the remaining two. Their sabres cut off my energy and cut apart the sabre I was using. I was already close enough to the nosy official so I pulled out a gun and shot him with a blank on the chin. I then grabbed him as he was falling and threw it at the other one. I followed behind quickly and knocked him out with a clean knuck to the face.
I tied them up and left them up and left them there.
...
Around the time when the fight started.
...
I don't know how and I don't know why but ever since reuniting with Teddy he doesn't seem to shut up. I also don't know if I like him better this way or the other. What I do know is that he is without a doubt Teddy and that is all that matters to me.
Upon his arrival my crewmates immediately started questioned Teddy's authenticity. They even said all of this in front of me, they even dared to threaten him. Even in front of me stands more people who want to antoginse Teddy I don't know them nor do I care to because all of Teddy's enemies are my enemies.
If I strike before Teddy moves and bring them down, Teddy will be proud of me. Teddy will pat me in the head, just like back then back when it was just him and us. These thoughts were all too much and sudden, I could not help but smile in exctasy. I did not want Teddy to see what I had become so I ran forward and launched an attack on the strange men.
Four of them jumped out and I leaned to the side to attack them first but it was already too late. I let Teddy down, I endangered Teddy, Teddy has always protected me and I failed him when it was my turn. I won't let it happen again. I am going to save Teddy one way or the other, so just hang in there and wait for me.
I roared and sent my blades crushing down on the strange men. They blocked and my blades disappeared. I jumped back to collect my thoughts. I can't fight them close range at large numbers if they had the ability to cancel out mine.
So I guess I would just have to faster than them. I brought back my blades and waited for them to move that way I would be able to predict their next movements.
"Why don't you surrender now little girl, we would not like to scratch your pretty face."
"My face is not yours to worry about."
"I am glad to know that." He raised his sabre and rushed me. I went for his abdomen and as he tried to block it I changed my blade's direction and slashed his right eye.
"ARHHHH!" He yelled out in agony, this made my heart beat faster. His voice was powerful and it blood rumble with excitement. My blade changed direction again and sliced off part of his mouth. His blood squirted out of it like ketchup, I accidentally laughed out loud.
"DAMN YOU CRAZY BITCH!" His friend screamed and attacked, my body rotated on it own dodging the attack. The other ones joined in but they were also just as lousy as their friend.
I jumped back and they took position in front of their friend. I could feel their bodies shake with terror through the ground below me. I could see their faces pale and filled with sweat. Weaklings they have not even fought properly yet.
