Lightning

Irea stomped his right foot on the ground, then his left. Cracks formed from the force of his feet breaking the laminate floor. The soldiers ran as soon as they saw him distracted, one helping the other, retreating quickly. Irea had no interest in those who ran and let them do as they pleased. 


The man, his feet firmly planted into the ground, jumped towards Storm's direction quickly. He grabbed the minigun filled with crystal bullets, using it like a hammer and attacking where Storm was. The boy jumped to the wall behind him, flipping over Irea and landing on his feet. Nano hovered nearby, interested in the battle, but she knew better then to invest herself in Irea's fights. 


However, she was bored and wanted to kill the boy herself. Storm turned to see Irea hold up the minigun, the barrels spinning already.
