Training[4]

Nova Carnegie

I got ready to watch the fight between Aaron and the crier.

"Here I go."

Aaron exclaimed as he infused his soul with emanation. A bright purple-violetish light covered the area we were in.

'Damn, that's bright.'

I thought to myself.

A huge amount of soul emanation bore down. If I were a regular dude, I would have been crushed to death, but I am not your regular guy.

I saw Aaron's figure after the light had dissipated. He was wearing a black 2 piece long coat with a black shirt under the coat.  A dark purple strap was spread across his chest with grenades. He wore shades that made him look like Blade.

I was confused about why there were grenades on the strap. There was a dagger/blade on his ankle.

He looked cool, but what I was anticipating was where his two guns were.

He turned and looked toward me with a grin on his face. 

"Just so you know, I look cooler."

"Yeah sure buddy."

He exclaimed with a huge smile. He took his hands and pulled his coat back. I saw a handgun holster above his stomach. I assumed that there was another gun on the other side.

"I agree. You look cool, but if you don't do anything about the crier behind you, it'll be all in vain."

"Huh? Behind me?"

He asked, to which I nodded. The crier was approaching us quickly, but it wasn't fast. I knew I was 10x faster than that thing.

***

Aaron Glaydus.

Aaron took both of his guns out of the sling and pointed toward the crier. 

"Here I go!!!"

He screamed as he shot toward the crier. A purple beam of soul emanation is shot past the crier. He hit a shot, but it did not seem to have done any damage to the crier as it kept coming toward us.

"Damn. Should I change my gun to an AR?"

He asked. I shrugged with a smile on my face.

He infused a good amount of soul emanation into the Glocks. The twin Dracos turned into an AR-15. The transformation was performed between 1 and 2 seconds.

The crier finally stood in front of Aaron. It stood there with a sinister grin on its face. The criteria did not appear particularly strong. 

"It isn't a strong crier or an intelligent one at that. Probably just knows how to fight"

I spoke as I examined the creature. It probably couldn't talk.

"Let me end this quickly."

Aaron spoke as he put the AR's strap on so that it wouldn't fall when he let it go, like during hand-to-hand combat.

He grabbed the dagger from his leg. He shot forward as he threw the dagger at the crier. The crier easily dodged the dagger, but Aaron pulled the gun back into his arms and whipped it at the crier. The crier parried the attack and swung its sharp claws toward Aaron's face.

Aaron jumped back and pointed the gun at the crier and fired multiple shots at it. He shot up to 34 shots within 3 seconds. The sight was truly mesmerizing. Purple light streaks flew at the crier.

The crier screamed in pain as it was surprised at the number of bullets that shot toward it. It hurt badly, so it fell to the floor. It was regenerating slowly.

"Damn, still not done huh?"

Aaron spoke as he shot up to the sky and got on top of a small building.

Annie Glaydus

After talking with Lyra about her weapon and how to use it, she was ready to return to reality.

**

After she returned to reality, she saw Aaron fight with the crier. It truly looked ugly.

She changed her gaze to Nova, who was sitting on the car bonnet spectating the fight.

"Enjoying the fight huh?" 

She asked Nova. He nodded, as he was too immersed in the fight. 

"Huuuuuu."

She took a deep breath as she got ready to fight. She infused her soul with emanation.

A bright green light enveloped the area.

"Tch."

Nova finally looked at Annie because of the bright light that had blinded the fight.

She wore a black outfit with two shortswords on her back. She looked like an assassin. A black mask covered her mouth.

"Two shortswords huh?"

Nova finally spoke, to which Annie nodded.

She took out her swords and waited for the right moment to attack. However, to kill her excitement, the crier was shot down. She saw Aaron jump to the top of the building.

"Looks like I 'm up."

She spoke as she sprang toward the recovered man and swung both her swords at the crier.

Clang--

The crier blocked both swords with its claws and threw a kick at Annie's head. She jumped back as she saw the kick flying toward her. 

"It's not as easy as I thought." 

She spoke to herself as she entered her attack stance. The crier jumped at her and slashed her with its claws. 

Annie blocked the slash with one sword as she sliced the crier with her other sword. Black blood spurted everywhere. But the crier was not fazed by the attack as it held Annie's hand. It collected all its soul emanation at its mouth and charged a Nexstar.

'Shit, I 'm done for.'

Annie thought to herself as she saw blue light enveloping her. She closed her eyes because the light was too bright. But she couldn't give up. Even though she knew she would have lived with Nova being there she didn't want to lose the battle. She kicked the crier and jumped backward.

The crier shot the Nexstar but Annie dodged it but it still grazed past her shoulder.

Annie's heart pounded as she faced the grotesque crier, its blood-red eyes burning with malevolent glee. The creature's twisted grin revealed rows of sharp, jagged teeth, and its black, leathery wings cast a chilling shadow over the area where she was.

'Damn, will I be able to win?'

She thought to herself.

The crier lunged at Annie with incredible speed, its clawed hands slashing through the air. Annie parried the first attack with one of her swords, the impact sending a shockwave through her arms. She countered with a swift, precise strike, aiming for the creature's heart. But the crier twisted away, evading her attack with uncanny agility.

'Dammit.' 

She screamed in her head, but she was resilient, but it was futile as the crier made a daring move, lunging low and knocking one of Annie's swords from her grasp. She stumbled backward, momentarily vulnerable, and the crier capitalized on the opportunity, pinning her to the ground with its huge claws.

As the crier loomed over her, poised to strike the killing blow, Annie's mind raced. 

"It's over for me. I guess I just have to train harder, I guess."

She spoke softly. She was a bit scared because there might be a chance she might be killed, but she did not worry about it.

As the crier was about to strike at her, suddenly.....

BOOOOOM...
