"The mighty Ikaris watered down to a weak shrivelling little woman cradling a child and weeping helplessly, how tis have changed." The Captain stopped walking when Arla stood in his way with her arms spread wide and her eyes burning fiercely with crimson mana casting barriers around her and Ikaris.
"What are you even supposed to be?" He asked, staring at her and finding no ntion of her species in his database.
"You will go no further." Arla took a stance before him and the general chuckled and leaned his head, amused.
"Stand down little woman, you have gusto, but your life is wasted in the service of Vatui, I'm willing to turn my head and pretend you were never affiliated with them at all and in return, you beco a part of my harem, I like the little exotic ones see...
and I have never seen anything like you before," He smiled at her, but Arla ground her teeth and narrowed her eyes exerting even more mana as she opposed him.
"I belong only to my master!" She stood her ground when he walked up to her, pressing her fist against his chest and grinding her teeth when she started sliding across the ground while he ignored her.
"Stay away from them!" Arla opened her palm and cast a prism around the Captain causing him to stop again out of intrigue and look down at her with a grin, placing his palm against the prism and marvelling at the structure.
A loud thump shook the dwarf planet, and the captain turned in Arla's prism and stared with his brows furrowed in surprise as a bright white light engulfed everything around them and then rapidly subsided, revealing Dina, her hair as tall as Arla's with a small crescent crest glowing in her forehead and the hero sigil burning the skin on her forearm.
Dina leaned forward and disappeared from sight and the Captain was about to laugh when she vanished from their sensors as well, but a mont later he and all the others were upside down and descending towards a star and entire galaxy away.
Dr'ul who had finally been given a mont to breathe leapt to her feet and stumbled over to Adonai, resting her hand on his shoulder and causing the missing upper half of his head to reappear as he took a deep breath and looked around at her, reverting to his regular appearance and coughing.
She took a step toward S'mael to restore his depleted power with her own but lost an arm when a vice-captain descended and caused the entire area to explode sending everyone skyborne, but by the ti the man could stand properly he was cascading through the void towards the sa star again.
"What's going on!?" The captain landed before the debris could fall and looked around, finding Dina standing over Ikaris while Alpha was in the middle of crafting a new dinsion to send them away to.
Instead of Ikaris, his eyes focused on Dina and he took off like a bolt at her. "It's this one-"
His finger barely touched her skin, and a mont later he was descending towards a star again while the force of his reach hit and sent her flying.
"Dina, if you keep this up you'll die-"
"The alternative is Ikaris and the baby dying." Dina slid across the ground and flickered, appearing at Ikaris's side again just as the Captain appeared before her, only to vanish once more leaving the area he was about to step on burning from his rapid reentry into the small atmosphere.
"That skill...
I never imagined it would be able to keep them at bay like this," Dr'ul mused seeing Dina using [INVERSION] on such a large scale that it was sending the enemies further and further away each ti, but as they continued returning desperate to catch and kill her, her fatigue beca evident, that too with the minor injuries she was ignoring starting to pile up, in just a few minutes There was a crater around Dina with scars across it as the Captain and his three Vice-Captains flickered in and out of sight.
"If I could figure out the loophole to this technique though, it is just a matter of ti before one of them realises..."
"Dina!" Alpha called.
"Just go!" Dina shouted, falling to her hands and knees and coughing up a mouthful of blood and then looking up at Ikaris who held on to Sara and her hidden child still whispering Sol's na. "Hide, all of you!"
"Master... I hope this buys you enough ti."
"No!" The female Vice-Captain stopped short of attacking Dina and rushed towards Alpha, but again Dina used [inversion] on her and she was sent spiralling through the abyss at the sa star once more.
Witnessing the broken ability for what felt like the fiftieth ti, the captain slowed his approach and stopped at a distance flashing his hand and summoning over the sa tallic weapon he had impaled Dina on earlier and throwing it at her, as expected, the trajectory of the weapon changed as soon as he let go of it, but he caught up and tossed it again, and again slowly lessening the distance towards Dina in the process until he and his three henchn were right before her.
[INVERSION]
All four of them went tunnelling through the crust of the dwarf.
"I can't see anymore..." Dina forced herself to her feet and clasped her hands again sending another two of the vice-captains away and then wincing when the third one's hand barely pierced her abdon before he was sent flying in another direction.
"I can't focus either -" Dina barely leaned her head, dodging an attack from behind her and sending the attacker spiralling upwards like a spindle when she cast [Inversion] on him multiple tis.
"Stand down." The captain landed, with his weapon at his side and a smile across his mug. "It has been a while since a lesser being made exert myself this much, but here this bitch has running around like a bug without a head, I'm pissed off!" He grinned.
"It's not like they can hide forever, they are incapable of skipping across the collective with Ikaris in that weakened state, as long as they are here I will find them." He huffed and spun the weapon around his hand.
"I can't do this any longer," Dina stumbled forward from the shockwave of the weapon almost impaling her and being teleported away, but only a mont later it was coming at her from the front causing her to snap backwards and almost fall over from that secondary shockwave.
Like needles from every direction the projectile kept coming at her faster than the captains had been monts prior, and with her vision going foggy from overusing the powers Sol planted inside of her she missed the Captain gaining ground, she missed how fast he approached and how he caught the weapon each ti and threw it at her again, her senses were all focused on the weapon coming at her from each angle so she missed his approach right up until the mont where he caught her by her arm making inversion impossible without tearing her limb off.
Dina reeled forward in shock releasing her mana and slumping against his arm when he caught the weapon once more and drove it into her abdon before she could react and send it away. "You made work for that, Dina," He huffed and repeated her na after hearing Alpha address her earlier.
"It would be an intrigue to harvest you, but I know that if I let go of you now, you'd likely kill yourself or find so way to attack again, I am forced to destroy sothing I think might be valuable." He sighed.
"You talk big, but... when my master arrives, it's gonna be all over for you bastards..." Dina held on to his hand, closing one eye and groaning in pain when he chuckled and twisted the weapon inside of her.
"Was it worth it?" He asked, shoving it deeper and forcing it through her back. "Aiding and abetting the Vatui is a capital cri punishable by death, was it worth your life to fight and protect those savages?"
"The... only savage here, is you...!" She raised her free hand and pressed it against his chest, making a gun hand and pointing her finger against him.
[Cosmic mana accumulated]
[Pulsar]
"What is thi-" The Captain was suddenly blasted away in the attack that tore a portion of the planet away and incinerated it.
Another weapon was driven through her back, sticking in the ground and holding her upright as two more impaled her Via the three Vice-Captains with one ripping her heart a hole causing her to go immobile as her hands weakly reached out and then she slumped, the last thing she felt before her world went black was Sol's presence approaching and tearing entire galaxies apart in its wake.
His eyes were wide in fear and horror, and his teeth were all sharp and locked like a zip, Sol's eyes had black rings around them and his heart was pounding so hard it caused ripples across the collective shaking the entire foundation of his domain as he felt Dina's mana dwindling.
