Chapter 25: Just Die!

Sky stood in front of a growling wolf that was staring into her soul with its red eyes, Sky felt a little nervous as the horrendous beast walked towards her. Sky reloaded her gun and shot a bullet right through the head of the beast. 

The beast stopped walking for a few seconds but started walking again this time faster than before. Sky looked at the now healed skull and started walking backwards. She shot two bullets but they did nothing. 'Why is nothing working?' She cried out in her head. Sky looked at the wolf and saw a big mark in its belly or rather where the core sat at the last ones. 

When Sky shot her bullet right at the mark she saw how the flesh of the wolf stopped it just a few centimeters before she shot the core. After a while the wolf started trying to jump her but Sky was more agile than one would think so she easily dodged everything eventually shooting some shots but the same thing kept happening so she decided to buy some time so that someone else could come and help her.

After dodging constantly for 10 minutes she started to get tired and looked around to see if someone was done with their fights but no one had yet figured out a way to kill them. When she looked at Vexx she got chills as she saw him sitting on top of the wolf ripping off skin and flesh. Because of her looking around she had missed that one of the tree roots was sticking up quite a bit above the ground. 

The root caught her off guard and was about to fall backwards but she saved herself last second by grabbing the stem of the tree. She sighed but felt a sharp pain in her arm. When looking to her right she saw the wolf back away after just scratching her. She immediately jumped so the distance between them was longer than the wolves jumping range.

Before she could move she heard Vexx shout "I know how to defeat them now. You need to extract their crystal cores!" Sky got a chill and wondered if that was what he was doing before her fall. Sky looked at the target another time. 'It doesn't matter if I know how to take it down if I'm not capable.' 

Sky started dodging again and realized that she wouldn't be able to keep it up for long. She dodged for another minute and then took out her other gun from her thigh. Sky felt the sweat on her back, she stood still and aimed for her mark. The mark was her Solubility, she could see where the weak spot of an enemy was and if she hit the outer ring the damage would be doubled. If Sky shot the middle ring it would be 3 times as strong and if she hit a bullseye it would be 5 times as strong. 

The wolf was so fast that Sky only managed to hit the outer ring every time and felt like she didn't have many chances left. She stood completely still and aimed with both of her guns at the mark and fired, the bullets were fast and precise. Both bullets hit its target and shot right through the bullseye. The wolf stood still with a hole through its stomach. Sky watched the wolf fall and saw a shiny core laying on the flesh on the ground that had been shot. The next second Naomi showed up "You did it!" She said and wrapped her arms around Sky. 

Kamari didn't have much problem. Kamari used his electric punches to fight off the wolf. At first Kamari was worried about not having enough energy to fight the whole fight, but that worry quickly disappeared when he heard Vexx yell about a way to defeat the wolves, Kamari listened carefully and realized how dumb he had been, No zombies from the movies he had watched have had a core inside that power them. 

Kamari jumped back and started gathering all of his energy into his hand and got ready to punch. When the wolf was close enough Kamari threw a punch right through the beast. When Kamari's hand was on the other side holding the core the wolf stopped moving and Kamari looked over at Naomi and Sky who also looked to be done with fighting. 

Blake was very strong and wouldn't make the same mistake as before and underestimate the wolves agility. Blake took both of his daggers and felt the strength pulsating through him. Blake had a similar theory as Vexx but couldn't really get the core as the wolf was too fast. 

Blake ended up teleporting over the wolf and piercing it from above with his daggers and quickly carved out the core with one while the other held the wolf down. As he carved out the core he heard Vexx shout the way to defeat them. Blake smiled to himself and continued carving. 

Vexx looked at the wolf in front of him and immediately decided to keep his claws as he rushed towards it. Vexx felt more like a beast than ever in his life, he ran half hunched and rolled around avoiding the wolves attack. The wolf was faster than Vexx but it certainly wasn't smarter. Vexx ran forward and decided to try a trick. Vexx used his darkness as springboards pushing up in the air. While in the air he turned around and used the darkness to make another springboard as he pushed off with his claws first piercing through the wolf and holding the core in his hands. 

Vexx stood still for a while feeling the adrenaline pumping through his body, this had been one of the best feelings he felt. Vexx even started to get addicted to it. Vexx was interrupted with a screen in front of him
