Chapter 24 - Vessel

EVE P.O.V

"H-Hey Lu I can't breath-" I begged. Kimberly had let go, still wiping the tears from her eyes, and asked. "What were you staring at just now?". "uh...I don't...I don't know actually. It looked like a person but it was locked...It was locked in some crystal.." I tried my best to answer her question. I looked up and started thinking about what had just happened. Why did that happen? How did it happen? What the hell was in that crystal?! I slapped my face to wake myself up and collected my thoughts. "This war isn't over," I thought looking back to see a hoard of alien soldiers (20,000,098 to be exact) headed toward us from all sides. I attempted to get up but was instantly pushed down lightly by Kimberly. "Take it easy," She ordered. "Let me shine for a bit" She requested, lifting her hand as her hammer came zooming into it. She then looked back at me, Looking almost concerned, and gave a smile before collecting herself and walking into the hoard as her hammer began to spark and flicker. When we were surrounded by all of them Kimberly took a deep breath and threw me rubber boots. "You'll need these" She grinned. "Or you could call your flying nimbus and skedaddle your way out of here" She finished up with a suggestion. I whistled for my nimbus cloud not knowing if I wanted to be there and looked down as the cloud swooped me up. Kimberly gave a menacing smile as the sparks on her hammer got stronger and brighter. She lifted the hammer with both hands on it and took a deep breath. With that, she slammed the hammer to the ground creating a bolt of lightning so bright it lit the bright green sky, cleared dark red clouds color, and instantly killed all of the soldiers. Kimberly took another breath, covering her eyes as the white sun beamed onto her, she looked up at me giving me a bright smile and a thumbs up. I smiled enjoying the moment. I flew down to meet her on the ruined battlefield, Blood everywhere, corpses rotting in the air, and decaying bones almost in every corner but we found ourselves enjoying the view. Unfortunately, the peace didn't last very long, the energy from the bolt of lightning Kimberly manifested managed to draw out a ton of other aliens and some civilians still weren't evacuated. I was thinking hard, I didn't know what to do or how to do it. Just when I was about to give in, a worried Kimberly nudged me on the shoulder. "Stop worrying so much" She nudged me again this time a bit sweeter "Mia and Ana are on their way right now and we'll be through this in no time!" She cheered bringing a smile to my face as she helped me up as I let out a large sigh of relief.
