He Will Pay

[Ashia's View]

I had many regrets about coming down here.

"I told you that the thing is strong!" As we were forced back down the tunnel, Sakura roared as she flipped backward, dodging a blast of acid spray.

The thing was more than just strong; it was spitting acid, fire, and lightning at us. On top of that, we were now almost pushed back to the barrier that I could easily see now.

I really wished that Sakura would have listened to me; I had saved her three times now and would probably have done this fight if she would have waited. Now it was too late for that, and I needed to think quickly.

"I need you to get back in the barrier you were trapped in before so I can take care of this!" I called out to Sakura as she landed, and she gave me a strained look.

"I don't need you to protect me! I am the one… who is supposed to protect you now, right?!" Sakura asked me but had to dodge a fire back that was shot at her mid-conversation.
