Chapter 2.2: Loha

Pew! Pew! Pew!

Psshh! Psshh! Psshh!

Whoosh!

In the large ship, a group of creatures pursued a duo in a single hover motor. A streams of laser particles flew toward them, unleashed by the group as they raced inside.

" Ron! Faster! They'll catch up with us at this rate!" She said while parrying the incoming energies zooming toward them by spinning her staff. Currently she sat back to back on the hover motor with Aaron.

" A 231 km/h isn't fast??!!" Aaron almost vomited blood upon hearing Loha's complaint.

" Of course not!! This is child's play!!"

" Err, are we even going at the right way?!"

" Keep going!!" She encouraged Aaron. It's not an empty encouragement. She had lived in this ship for years and explored every part of it as she scavenged.

Although the route they took look so random. In truth, all the route leads to one destination. For years, she had set up a tunnel that could fit a single plane to race inside.

She looked around her and knew that they will arrived at a place where she intended to stop the group. But the distance between them was slowly shortened.

' I had to do something!'

She couldn't use the rifle as doing so would made her unable to deflect the attack. The group, as they slowly caught up didn't used their gun but unsheathed an energy blades.

" Hiya!" One of them slashed at her right but she parried. As she were about to attack back, another attacked from her right. She saw the light of red on the corner of her eyes, swaying toward her left.

" Died!" With strength behind his horizontal slashes, Loha didn't deflected his attack but nudged the blade with his staff to her right.

Psshh

Combo with his momentum, the nudged sent him almost falling to his left and the motor stirred to the side, moving closer to his companion.

The series of action happened in less than a minute.

As she was about to deal with them, another closed in from her left with blade aimed toward their rear hover engine.

Pew Pew Pew

At the same time, another pursuer behind them attempted to stop Loha with his motor's modified laser gun but Loha parried the attack. Unlike before, while others went to random directions. One particle went toward their pursuer's neck at the left and he crashed to the wall as he veer off to the side.

Loha didn't stop, she spun her staff overhead gracefully and smashed the front engine of one of them in which he succeeded to stop in time but collided with one other from behind.

But the one who had almost lose balanced speed up to her left and launched a quick swings of his blade to her head.

"Duck!" Both Aaron and Loha ducked their head as an arc of energy blade went past to where their head supposed to be.

Aaron unconsciously slammed the attacker with his motor and the attacker stopped attacking to focus on controlling his motor.

Loha took this chance with upward diagonal slashed followed by a stabbed toward his side rib.

While he did succeeded doing a last minute parry for the first attack, the mele second of rest become his flaw. The light instantly disappeared from his eyes the moment an intense burning energy penetrated his rib. Instantly destroying the heart and lung.

" 6 people left!" Loha shared the situation with Aaron.

" Good! Just keep spinning your staff!"

Loha took a deep breath to calm herself at Aaron's unhelpful suggestion before continuing to deflect the attack.

The remaining enemies decided to just shoot them as they recognized Loha's excellent martial art to be troublesome.

They continue to battle like this as they raced toward what was supposed to be a vast hangar where the carrier originally stored countless plane.

Loha finally realized she exhausted herself in the recent battle. Luckily they almost arrived.

Sensing they were almost arriving at her planned destination. Right at the entrance at the end of a big hallway, she slashed her staff at the panel on the side leaving a deep scorching mark.

" Stop!" The leader of the group yelled toward the remaining of his companions a little too late and his gangs soon crashed toward the hard alloy doors.

Crash!

Boom!

On the other side, Aaron stopped the motor. The wide open window revealed the scenery of desert on their left.

"Ha ha ha"

Both of them breathes heavily. Loha because of the exhaustion from the fight, Aaron because of his damaged lungs that he didn't knew. Loha soon noticed that he was breathing abnormally.

That was because he was opening his mouth so wide and taking the air a lot too much. Everytime he inhaled, he made a screeching sound at the end.

That's when Loha realized his condition was worse.

" Ron! What happened to you!" She said as she climbed off the motor and observed him closely.

" It's Haaa.. The air Haaa.. Dusty.. Haaa I dont know haaa..." Aaron answer between heavy breathes. He was also surprised at this newfound diseased of him.

" You want me to do CPR?"

" Brush your Haaa... Teeth first.. Haa"

Loha face darkened when she heard that.

' Died! Just died!' She screamed internally.

' Curse! Am I on Asthma!?' With that thought, panicked arises in his heart.

" Haaa.. help me.. haaa.. climbed on.. haaa.. my ship..."

" Ship!? What ship!?"

Whoosh

Answering her question, an expensive jet descended and flew inside the hangar. She cautiously aim the jet with the rifle but breathes an air of relief when she discovered it's not hostile.

She also understood Aaron's word when he strugglingly walked toward the opening hatch. She slung his arm around her shoulder as she helped him aboard.

[ 'TSI- 01 Private Jet' is in control]

At the moment when they were pursued, Aaron moved his jet with his mind through the system. He aren't just able to control the flag ship, any vehicle created by the facilities from his ship was also in his control.

As the system allowed him to control the vehicles he created. It also gave him the ability to improve his skill eg. piloting.

There are five level of understanding for him which is Beginner, Amateur, Professional, Expert and Ace. Currently, his level of understanding was Beginner.

By working on deepening his understanding on his control, he would be able to level up. Much like cultivation to him.

Once Loha opened the flight deck, she was surprised to find it empty. But focusing on Aaron issue, she helped him sat on the co pilot and opened a small panel lid on the ceiling revealing the panic mask.

Aaron instantly knew what to do and strapped the mask on his face before pressing some button above him. The pure Oxygen released by the mask helped him repay the pair of lungs that was in debt of oxygen.

" You.. know how... to fly?.." Aaron asked as he saw Loha sat on the pilot seat and focused on strapping the belt.

" Ron.. You have no idea how capable I am.." She said as she pressed some button around her familiarly.

" I'm a Desra seventh time champion in plane races... now, let's loop and roll." She said as she pulled the lever between them.

When the jet flew out of the hangar to the open air above, a rusty plane appeared and entered the hanger. The lid on the entrance soon blasted opened as the leader walked out.

Some wounds could be seen on him. Unlike his gang, he didn't die and the wound isn't severe. He was just affected by the explosion impact and didn't crashed along with them.

When he climbed the ship, he reported the situation to his superior.

" Chief Kanan, they got away in plane and killed most of the gang"

" ... Stay there and wait for further order, the ace fighters will deal with them"
