At that moment Lappland semblance , awakened and activated for the first time . The flash of her aura flared around her , and the pale blue energy ripping through the air , caused the sound of a wolf's howl to be heard .
Within milliseconds of the release of Lappland semblance , everything in the area of the dust station , after coming into contact with the energy , stopped working for a second . It didn't matter if it was dust , crystal or aura . Everything related to it stopped working , causing various short circuits , overloads or resets of delicate devices operating on the station . After all, the sudden withdrawal of energy from devices that need it and are still working can damage them .
Lappland did not care , however, about the possible damage caused by her resemblance . In the same way no one in the toilet cared . This was not the time or place to care . People died here , someone fired a shot and someone is lying unconscious on the ground , with a large wound bleeding profusely on his neck .
Most of the floor was covered with blood , this was not the place to worry about more damage . Besides , one second did not give much time to think . But it was enough time to act . Which Lappland took full advantage of .
Or rather, she would like to took full advantage of . After her first awakening , Lappland was no longer able to react to a person with a gun , which was still standing in the doorway of the toilet . At that moment Lappland strained her aura and a large part of her own endurance to cause the first impulse .
However, something like this would not stop her . What really stopped Lappland from doing anything was that the Lappland semblance effects affected Lappland herself . All the reinforcement in her still developing body , given to her by the aura disappeared for a second . This was enough for her hitherto strong body , which had never felt the sudden loss of strength , to be unable to react properly .
Even when her mind , which was consumed with madness , didn't react to it much . It only took less than a second to lose the connection between body and mind . The mind believes that the body will jump over the wall, unfortunately at the last second the body lost the strength to jump. This is what happened to Lappland.
A millisecond of loss of her so far strong body and legs was all it took for the unaccustomed and unprepared for that Lappland , to lose her balance when her own legs gave way under her. However, the suddenness of the loss of aura and dust did not surprise Lappland's body alone.
The impulse from the Lappland semblance reached the weapon of the armed woman in the doorway , just in time to disrupt the action of the fire dust that was to be activated in the projectile . However, before all the dust in the bullet was absorbed by the impulse , a certain part was already activated and pushed the bullet . So in the end the bullet , unfortunately managed to leave the barrel.
Of corse Lappland's semblance also affected Blake's aura and the weapon in her hands . It also caused the light bulbs in the bathroom to explode . This made an already chaotic situation even more chaotic .
Because of the explosion of the light bulbs and the sudden cutting off of the protection of her aura . Blake turned , lowered her head and huddle , while her hands in which she still held a gun , shielding her ears and head with them , as in an instinctive reaction to the loss of protection .
Even when Blake had not yet had time to comprehend what had happened , her body protected her exposed facial skin and sensitive cat ears from injury . Thanks to her instinctive quick response , pieces of broken glass that flew out of the bulbs did not do anything to her . Just a few landed on her clothes and apart from the shock nothing happened to her.
The missile that flew towards Blake also never reached her because Lappland intercepted it . Unfortunately , due to the lack of her own aura , she did so at the cost of being shot in the shoulder . To make matters worse , it was the same shoulder , which was previously knocked out of joint . And the only luck was that due to Lappland's semblance , the process of firing the bullet was interrupted . Which meant that the bullet did not cause her expected from it harm .
The bullet had no speed or force . Only a minimal amount of dust was activated in the shell . This was enough for the bullet to leave the barrel and reach the target , but its speed was not even enough to penetrate the body . So in fact , the impact of the bullet was more like a blow than an actual piercing force . Although it was not fatal or serious injury . Lappland who lost her balance , was pushed by the projectile which caused her to fall to the ground .
However, before Lappland collapsed . In just a brief moment of the same second . Something happened that was overlooked in all the chaos . The silver glow , which had always been in the Lappland eyes , shone brighter than ever . It lit up like a star in the night sky . But sudden explosion of the light bulbs , which carried its own light, blinded others from seeing the light in Lappland's eyes .
So in the end , just like a single star in the infinity of the stars , it was insignificant and as quickly as the silver glow appeared so quickly it disappeared. Just like a flame in the wind . When the bullet hit Lappland's shoulder, the silver light in her eyes disappeared . Now instead of the light , there was only a slight glow , which only rid Lappland eyes of the blue .
After Lappland fall to the ground , everything return to normal . In the now dark bathroom , Lappland lay not far from the door , just under the terrified eyes of Blake , who raised her head after the initial confusion . With the gun still in her hand she looked at the doorway where the woman was standing with the gun already pointed at her .
The woman who just shot Lappland, had enough knowledge to know that the sembelance was just use . She also knew that this must have been one of the dust-jamming semblance's . As for the fact that the impulse also disabled the aura, she had no idea because she herself had not had it awakened.
This means that she was an ordinary human being . That's why the sudden explosion of the light bulb that sent glass at her affected her as much as it did Blake . Just like Blake , who lost the protection of her Aura . The woman's thick clothes protected her from the injuries inflicted by the shattered fragments of light bulbs .
And yet, because of reflex, she instinctively turned her head and shielded her face on which she had glasses and a mask, which would have been able to protect her if it was needed .This caused the special aura-piercing weapon in her hands to lose its stability at the last moment before firing . Her hand holding the gun was also moved , making the bullet go lower than intended .
This also made Lappland get shot with it . If not for that , the bullet would have flown over her head straight at Blake . Well nothing too serious would have happened to her , just as nothing serious happened to Lappland . Nevertheless , it saved Blake from a serious bruising or even a fracture .
When the armed woman stopped covering her eyes , she immediately fixed her grip on the gun . Thanks to the light falling behind her into the room , she immediately aimed at Blake , who was holding the gun . As for Lappland , the woman saw that the wolf girl was lying on the ground and did not move so she first aimed at the greater threat that Blake posed .
Masked Woman : " Drop it ... Now "
She said clearly and slowly . Her tone was full of tension and yet her tone was cold and threatening . Seeing the barrel pointed at her , seeing the woman's fingers squeezing the trigger , Blake felt paralyzing fear . She did not know that the bullet that hit Lappland was harmless . To her it looked as if she had just before her own eyes lost her best friend , her sister , who jumped in front of the bullet aimed at her .
To say that Blake was shocked is an understatement . She was completely distanced from reality and at the same time filled with emotion . She was terrified and heartbroken . She did not want to accept what had happened . However, before Blake did something , Lappland moved which caused the armed woman to aim at her.
But , before anything more could happen or be said , something suddenly wrapped around the armed woman neck and pulled her backwards with great force before she had a chance to react , leaving her time only for a sudden scream , which just as suddenly quieted after the distinct sound of impact .
Immediately after that , a breathless Sienna stood in the doorway . She looked in horror into the dark room in which she could see well thanks to her faunus eyes . There she saw a bloody scene she never forget . And that not because of the blood and bodies. But because of the state in which Blake and Lappland were.
Blake completely frozen in horror and shock with tears in her eyes looked at covered in blood Lappland , who was still on the ground . It was clear that Blake wanted to help her but her own body had already failed . The poor girl could not move anymore .
Sienna : " Lappland! Blake !? Are you all right ? "
Asked a panicked Sienna while going inside to check both . And to her delight , they were fine , at least at first glance . Before Sienna approached her , Lappland was already getting up from the ground . Blake also took a few breaths and after quickly gathering the strength , she slowly began to get up . While doing so , she dropp her gun on the ground . Then Blake looked at Sienna who looked at Lappland and then looked at her .
Right there Sienna noticed the blank stare in Blake eyes . Whether it was fear or fatigue Sienna did not know, but she knew that the situation must have affected her more mentally than physically.
As for Lappland. She was clearly wounded , her one arm hung free with no sign of movement . Sienna could tell by eye that the shoulder had been knocked out of joint . Other than that , Lappland looked fine . The blood was clearly not hers . However , as to her well-being , it was hard to say . She was certainly not as energetic and the smile was not on her face . Unfortunately , there was no time at the moment to go deeper into it
Sienna : " Wait outside by . I'll be back in a second . "
Said Sienna , after her quick physical inspection of the two of them . Then walking past them she look around the room . Lappland and Blake , listening to Sienna silently went outside . On the way there Blake looked at the silent Lappland walking in front of her . Her expression was unreadable as her amber eyes looked at her coverd in blood friend .
And tears again gathered in her eyes as she ran into Lappland , embracing her from behind . Crying she wiped her face in Lappland's hair . Lappland herself saying nothing simply stood there . Expressionless , with her tail hanging motionless . Looking at her bloodied hand .
