Foxes Battle of the Demon Beast

"girls I need you guys to grab your bags and move quickly"

Justin instructed from his seat in the front as they touched down

Anna and her sisters all wore tense expressions on their faces as the plane

coasted to a stop with a bump they had finally landed in Japan

"the celestial threat level is at its highest latest reports were the witch was last spotted over Korea this was sometime earlier tonight

it's currently 4 am so there is a chance she already passed this way during the night and we don't have to worry about her but she was engaged in battle by some members of the Tiger Clan

and she managed to escape with an injury but given that she's injured her priority right now should be to avoid further encounters with celestials and find a place to safely heal her injuries

but it could also mean that she might have been slowed down because she's injured we can't take anything for granted either way we have to move quickly

I have a vehicle waiting on the tarmac to pick us up as well as the members of my personal royal guard to escort us safely to the clan so you guys don't have to worry about anything"

coming

out of the cockpit were two flight attendants

"girls, please allow the staff to assist you so you can depart as quickly as possible" Justin added

the girls all quickly nodded their agreement

the flight attendants quickly and calmly helped the girls get their duffel bags

down from the storage spaces above and they all lined up at the door in, tense silence

as the plane's door opened revealing below a troop of celestial warriors

dressed in black gear all armed to the teeth with celestial weapons waiting below and a black SUV was waiting nearby

Justin was the first out the door leading Anna after him her sisters quickly followed he headed straight for the SUV one of the members of the troop opened the door

the four girls quickly got in while Justin got into the front seat next to the driver and they were moving

as the girls looked out the windows a thick mist appeared surrounding their vehicle

giving them additional cover the members of Justin guard troops were also split into teams

two of them flew ahead on a cloud while another two flew behind and there were two flying on each side of their vehicle

as they left the airport behind traveling along a highway that was unsurprisingly light with traffic in the wee hours of the am

"report!" Justin said in a low tone to the driver

"sir so far our route is still clear everyone in the clan has safely retreated you are the only ones outside right now"

"any updates on the witch? where is she?" Justin asked

"well the official report is that she did battle with three members of the tiger clan who were injured and are now recovering in sanctuary

the unofficial report however is the one who battled her is actually prince Ziesoo of the tiger clan

and his recently found mate they were in the hills training together with their master when the witch passed over and she attacked them intending to have a bit of fun with them but

prince Ziesoo is a known six tailed battle mage tiger with very high-level celestial abilities he inherited from his father the king of tigers his mate's stats are currently unknown but

they unexpectedly turned the tables on her and they gave her a hell of a battle and was able to seriously wound her rumor is they almost killed her but she managed to escape at the last moment"

"that sounds crazy no one's been able to wound the witch in two thousand years" Anna breathed in shock

"how were prince Ziesoo and his mate, able to gain the upper hand on her?" 

"exact details of the battle have not been made clear as yet" the driver answered "the council doesn't want too much information to get leaked at this time"

"We can only speculate with prince Ziesoo being such a high-level celestial then his mate's stats must be on the same level as his since they were training together," Justin said 

"prince Ziesoo is a six tails and if his mate is the same?" Vivian began

"then she must have been up against twelve tails in combined total" Yuqi breathed wide-eyed in awe

"with that much celestial power then its no wonder they were able to wound her and if you're taking into account what kind of special abilities prince Ziesoo and his mate might have gained

between the two of them as newly bonded mates then maybe the rumor of them almost killing her is not so far fetched as it might sound" Justin said

"We still shouldn't let our guard down though the reports aren't clear about the exact severity of the witch's injuries," their driver said

they drove on the highway until they came to the exit for Okinawa getting off the highway

they were driving along a quiet stretch of road

"how much longer?" Justin asked

"Thirty minutes," the driver said "we will be there soon"

Vivian's eyes began glowing "um I think we got incoming" she breathed

"impossible our men outside would have detected it," their driver said

"Vivian's sight is always accurate she's a mage archer," Anna said "Yuqi shields now"

she ordered yuqi summoned her powers casting a sigil ring around their group as the strong shield went up around them

"report! now!" Justin ordered

"What's going on out there?" the driver demanded through his earpiece

"shit!" he cursed a moment later they just picked up high-level celestial energy moving to the west of us

"monitor the situation," Justin said "she might not pass over us directly"

"if she's headed east then her route shouldn't cross us"

"Vivian?" Anna asked

"she's still a distance off headed east" she answered tersely

"let's hope it stays that way," Anna said

they traveled in silence for a little longer with Justin exchanging terse reports with the men outside

"how much longer?" Justin asked

"ten minutes we are nearly there" their driver reported

Vivian's eyes glowed brighter

"yuqi double your shields we definitely got incoming now" she cried

yuqis shields flashed as she upped their level

"why the f**k is she going off route?" Justin cried in frustration punching the console in front of him

"shes can't help it," Vivian said "shes badly injured and bleeding from a chest wound, she's barely able to maintain control of her cloud she keeps veering off route, and she's being chased, by two tigers on a cloud coming rapidly from behind"

"you can see that much?" their driver breathed in disbelief

"as long as conditions are good as they are right now with all other celestials in retreat there are no other major powers around so yes I can see for miles around us and only the witch is out there" Vivian replied

"she's coming in from the left you should be able to get a visual on her soon"

as they drove cresting a small hill they crossed a bridge and then ahead of them a boiling storm cloud appeared

the witch dressed in crimson robes 

"We got visual! l" their driver cried "brace yourselves for a possible attack!"

a wave of power swept towards them from the cloud slamming into Yuqis shields the shields flashed taking the impact but they

didn't go down and Yuqi reinforced them," good girl," their driver breathed

Justin threw open his door

"I'm going to hold her off," he said summoning his element a whirlwind appeared and he flew off

"Not without me, you're not!" Anna said throwing open her door summoning her fire she also flew off

"whoa your sister is an elemental celestial like prince Justin?" he breathed "yup," Vivian said

"that is wicked cool," he said

"no kidding" she replied

Anna and Justin both drew ahead of the group two tornados swirling beneath them Anna's of fire Justin's of wind 

facing the witch she wore a murderous expression as she gripped her chest tightly

with one hand to staunch the bleeding of a wound

"if you're this badly wounded shouldn't you be avoiding battle?" Justin asked

"since I'm this badly wounded kid it would do you better to get out my way!" she screamed
