A Three Strike Hit

Once again, I look at the place where that necklace was before leaving the apartment. Jumping over the whole set of stairs I get to the solid ground. With no second thoughts, I start running to where Ovia is.

Everything is dark, I can't see well. I don't think I can even tell what was the exact location where she's supposed to be.

Running to the main street he notices that there's a window opened on the three-story house. He channels a spark of Ectoplasma into his legs. His skin starts glowing orange under his jeans, while the jeans get covered with a square-like pattern also glowing in reddish-orange.

Jumping into the house I'm greeted with a girly-like room. Straight In front of me, there's another window opened, I run toward it barely looking around me. I don't care nor do I have the time to, but I still felt like someone was in that room. Whether it was a man or a woman, I couldn't tell.

Out of that room, I can see it. I can see the valley that Ovia's in. I look down to see or find my landing, but what greets me isn't a landing spot. What I manage to see in that little second of flying. Are they, the same people from before the Amaryllis' Warriors.

They are clearly better fighters than me with more experience. Under me there's two of them, while I look forward there's more of them. They split up, are they searching for something?

I look in Ovia's direction to see that the other two of them are going toward the valley. I can land on the roof before me.

Getting down I again channel more Ectoplasma than before. The process repeats itself and square-like marks appear in a second. With no time to waste I jump harder than before breaking the roof that I landed on creating a loud cracking noise.

Looking behind me I can see that the two warriors noticed the loud sound and are right behind me.

Landing on another roof, I use the same technique again.

Just a bit more and I can get there! Just another rooftop!

I land on the promised rooftop and slide down it. Looking down I can see the withered body and Ovia sitting against the wall.

I get down and grab her without explaining anything. At the same time, I look up to check how close they are. To my surprise, they're right above me.

I look toward the entrance to this dead end. The entrance's wide open. Running toward it with an easy mind that I'm able to escape my heart feels relived but…

It would've been good if it stayed like that.

The other two of them appear in front of us.

They both look at the kid that's in front of them.

The one on the left gets into a squat-like low position with his hands positioned close to his hips. He clenches his fists and purple electricity dances on his body. With one step forward he releases his right fist.

Not a sound of a ''zapp'' or a ''boom'' it was the sound of thunder.

Aalish not able to realize his surroundings clenches onto Ovia while trying to make sense of what happened. The first hit was to the face, a strong and fast hit.

The hit from the well-built warrior sends him flying back. Consciousness barely intact, he can't expect the danger from behind.

It hurts, it hurts so much. My head hurts.

My eyes are having a hard time picking up what's happening. I don't know if the warrior is still there or whether he's behind me. What can I do-

The sentence is cut with another wave of pain. The two of them that were behind him used the same move making him take three hard hits.

First his face now his back. Sent flying, Aalish finally gets an opportunity to strike back.
