Rosetta stood before them. It was a light pink armored jumpsuit and thigh-high boots.
"Soldier 760?" one of the men said.
Another man laughs as he steps out of the ring. "Not just any soldier," he said. "760, the only woman in the A-1564 squad."
Rosetta recognizes this man, her skin has goosebumps on it, signifying that she was afraid. "It seems like you remember me," the man said when he noticed Rosetta's fear.
Unfortunately, for the man, Rosetta's fear only last for a few seconds before she pulls the trigger and a plasma blast hits the man's head, ending his life immediately.
"Who's next?"
Phoenix ran to where he left Rosemarie and Roger, he saw some people everywhere killing people without remorse. The negative emotions coming from these people were feeding him power. He stops running and stands still in front of the enemies.
Without hesitation, he creates dozens of plasma swords behind him, and using his telekinesis, he uses these swords to cut people killing the people of the mall in half.
He runs to the food court where Rosemarie and Roger are, but he doesn't find them there.
What if something happened to them? They are Rosetta's niece and nephews and acquaintances of his. It would shatter him if they died in this cruel reality.
"Look out!" he hears Roger's voice behind him. Unfortunately, this warning came a bit too late and he was shot in his chest, and a large hole was present.
He gasps in surprise and hears Roger screaming. "Tch how annoying," he said.
He turns around to see the person who shot him. "What the--" Before the woman could fully register how he was still alive, was minced.
Blood still spilled from the hole in his chest. His heart was visible and it was still pumping. He contemplated if he should remove it since he didn't need it to live anymore.
He heals himself instead, he can do that later.
Children are watching him, he doesn't need them to be anymore traumatized. "Roger! Rosemarie! Are you alright?" he asked out of concern. When he doesn't hear their voices immediately, he gets worried and runs to find them.
He senses the pink-haired siblings' auras in the food court. How can they still be in the food court and know there are people behind them?
He runs to the food court, but he doesn't them there. Perhaps they are hiding behind the counter. He goes there in hopes of finding them behind the counter.
He sees them hiding behind the counter with his ex-best friend and some employees. They were crying and holding each other. They gasped when they saw him standing in front of them.
They jumped out of the counter hugging him tightly. They sobbed quietly as they hugged him. He felt a bit uncomfortable by the physical affection. "I thought you died," Roger said.
'He's taller than me,' he thought jealously. His eyes widen and he pushes them aside and turns around to block a kick aimed at his head.
He was pushed back to the counter. The bones in his hands were broken this surprised him.
He sees a woman wearing a black tracksuit-like outfit. It looks like the one he wore yesterday when he was training.
He was about to create another weapon when the woman said something that excited him. "Fight me the old-fashioned way, little freak."
This caused him to grin. His hands healed in the blink of an eye. "Phoenix," Roger called his name but he wasn't listening.
He disappears and appears directly in front of the woman, kicking her face. A few cracks could be heard and she was kicked out of the food court.
He doesn't wait for her to land before punching her down. The ground collapsed against the impact and they landed on the floor below them.
Rosetta who was getting overwhelmed with dodging and shooting at the same time looked back in surprise.
She was successfully distracted and was attacked by someone with an ability amongst the terrorists. A hydro ability user.
She was caught off guard when water covered her head, suffocating. Thank goodness for the military harsh training. She can hold her breath for twenty minutes. She grabs her gun and activates a command. The gun transforms into a twin-bladed spear. The blades were made of plasma. She spins it and uses the heat of the blade to evaporate the water from her face.
It burned her face but this was the least of her concerns. There's a barrier around the citizens protecting them from the plasma shot by the terrorists.
"Give up, soldier 760," one of the terrorists said. "There are tectonic bombs all over the mall, once the countdown ends, this place will come crumbling down."
This caused a bit of panic in Rosetta's mind. Tectonic bombs set off a frequency that imitates an earthquake. It is unknown how strong the bombs are. The strongest ever made set off a magnitude of 9.5.
"You've failed this mission just as the Emperor you served has failed the Empire."
"Why don't you fight back?" They heard someone shout.
Rosetta was surprised to see the body of a terrorist breaking the barrier she had set up for the people and flying past her, into one of her teammates.
The barrier repaired itself very quickly. But Rosetta was concentrated on the terrorist who was lying lifelessly on the ground looking very bloody and beaten up.
She turns around to see Phoenix floating in the air, half of his hair is completely white and the red and green colors in his eyes are equal.
"Phoenix?" Rosetta said in surprise.
Lucifer looks down to see Rosetta in a battle outfit and holding a twin-bladed spear.
He flies to her and sees her face. "Rosetta, what happened to your face?" he asked in horror.
Rosetta was in a daze till she saw blood on his hands. "Why are you bleeding?" she asked.
Bleeding? Where? He does a quick check on his body to see where he was injured. He then notices that Rosetta is looking at his hands then he shakes the blood off his hands. "The blood isn't mine," he said in an innocent voice.
Before Rosetta could say any other thing he turned to the terrorists. "Say hello to Hades for me," he said, before the swords he had created cut each of them into pieces.
Rosetta fell to her knees. She's been fighting these terrorists for a while and the young master she assumed is pampered just killed them in a few seconds.
Lucifer raised his hand and felt the warm blood spray. The thrill of a fight. He loves and loathes this feeling.
