Counting Members

Kary imagined the worst momentarily until she faintly heard some coughing through the ringing of her ears.

'They probably can't hear me… Let's hope the Raijū are gone…'

She waited for the ringing to calm down before calling out to her team again. And this time, there were answers.

"I'm okay!" *Cough cough*

This voice came from near her, and she saw Jack getting out from behind a shattered tree, which he had most likely been hiding behind until the attack vaporized it.

He was covered with pieces of blown-out wood of various sizes, and his face had a few cuts on it as well.

Other replies came soon after, coming from around the valley, and Kary mentally counted them.

She got to seven, including herself, and her heart froze.

"Where are Cory, Alex and Violette?! Has anyone seen them?!"

The dust was settling back in the valley, and Kary finally saw the aftermath of the two Raijū's attacks. And it was terrifying.
