Chapter 456: Planned
Turns out they had already prepared for their success as well as failure. Under their direction, they quickly cleared out a dozen guard teams. Clearing a path from the outer perimeter directly to the edge of the Quarry. At that point, Spark opened up his shell and took out a device that looked like a small drum the size of a bucket. He opened up the top of it and then sat down cross-legged in front of it. An arc of electricity formed between his fingers before he placed his hands against either side of the drum on two metal plates. Then he nodded to Nova.
At the signal, Nova took out a device with a short stick shape. She placed it inside a small box that Aurora unfolded. She then reached inside and put both hands next to the stick, Avert your eyes.
With just that quick warning, her power flared to life, brilliantly blinding light forming at her fingertips. Thankfully, the small box had only a small dark viewing window, her warning only precautionary. They werent intending to give their position away completely to the enemy by setting off such bright lights in the middle of the night. The group could only see over Novas shoulder, the burning lights were pushed into the small stick and disappeared. In just a few seconds she brought out the stick and it floated into the air. The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.
Nova started working on another one of the small stick devices while the first shed finished floated through the air. Aurora had taken over, moving the device with her telekinesis and inserting it into the top of the small drum that Spark was holding onto. It slid into a slot that seemed made for it and clicked into place. In just a few seconds, Nova had finished another and the process continued. After a dozen of the sticks were collected and slid into the drum, the lid flew back into place and Nova collapsed onto the ground. She was breathing hard and her face looked pale. As quickly as she worked, shed expended much of her strength and took the opportunity to recover.
With the lid returned to the device, Aurora walked closer to the edge of the Quarry and Spring followed her. Springs usually reticent demeanor shifted, her posture straightened and her shoulders pushed back. After taking a deep breath, she placed her hands onto Auroras back like she was going to push her off the cliff. Then there was a subtle crackle in the air and Sage felt a disturbance with his Spiritual Sense. An energy field of some sort formed around Spring and expanded to cover Aurora.
At the same time as Spring and Aurora were preparing, Cloud and Spark were doing the same. Cloud had pulled out a chain with a grip on one end and what looked like the head of a set of pliers on the other. Spark did a few things to the drum, and then carefully lifted it up. He continued to channel more electrical energy into it while Cloud secured the jaws at the end of the chain to the bottom of the drum. Cloud nodded his head and took off running. The drum was yanked out of Sparks hands, an arc of electricity still connecting the two for a moment. Then Cloud planted his lead foot and pulled hard on the chain. He pivoted upon one foot and swung the other around, his whole body twisting and imparting a spin to the chain and the drum at the end of it.
Sage was quite impressed, but he also knew that they had made themselves into a target. The attack had been a success, but he had no idea how effective it actually was. It also seemed to take quite a bit out of everyone and now they had to escape. They quickly cleaned up their gear and started running. Cloud already had Nova and Aurora on either side of him, supporting their arms while Spark was helping Spring. Sage was the only one free, and he felt no need to abuse their trust. With the Twin Soul, Warp Worm, Spiritual Sense, and Foresight, Sage felt confident to lead them out.
A pair of Flares that were on sentry duty had rushed towards them and Sage quickly finished them off with a few shots from his rifle. A second team was a little more troublesome as one of them created some sort of field that seemed to warp space. Even seeing a few seconds into the future couldnt stop his shots from warping around them. Unfortunately for them, the Twin Soul was not a physical being and it ignored the warped space. It flew into the Flares body and distracted the man enough to disrupt his psychic ability. Sage collected their bodies with the Warp Worm as hed done before and they continued on.
The final hurdle came upon them just after they re-entered the city. Somehow theyd summoned many teams of Flares to wait for them at the perimeter of the city ruins. The group had already recovered enough to move on their own, but they were far from being in peak condition. Nova picked out a scapegoat, I told you we shouldnt have wasted so much energy on the Divine Amethyst, Cloud!
Dont worry, Ive got a way to draw them away.
Sage knew that the longer they took to escape, the more their enemies would reinforce the perimeter and the harder it would be for them to break through. He had dozens of tricks he could use, but since he didnt want to give anything away he chose to use the Warp Worm. The ground rumbled nearby a team of the Flares and the wall of a building shook from a heavy impact. The asphalt road cracked and formed into a peak shape, like something was burrowing under the ground. It stopped for a moment after the collision with the building and then it started moving again, moving away from the city ruins and the teams of Flares.
From where the team was at, they only heard some rumbling and then the Flares in front of them ran off. They turned towards Sage with confused looks, How did you do that?
In response he just took off running, Hurry we dont have much time!
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
