"AARRRHHHHH!!!"
Hearing that blood-curdling scream, Aqualina was jolted out of her thoughts. She turned her attention to the chaotic fight unfolding before her eyes and saw J1 gripping Aether's torn fingers with a malevolent grin.
A wave of excruciating pain washed over Aether's body, causing him to convulse. However, this torture wasn't sufficient for his assailants. J5 seized Aether's wounded shoulder with a vice-like grip and slammed his fist into the raw injury, eliciting another agonized cry from Aether.
Aqualina's face twisted in shock and horror, "Y-YOU COWARDS!!" she screamed, her voice breaking as she poured all her anger and fear into the cry.
Meanwhile,
"Bastards!" Aether mumbled through gritted teeth as he bit his lip hard enough to draw blood, trying to stifle his screams.
After killing two of the puppets, the remaining trio seemed momentarily taken aback, their confidence shaken.
