For the umpteenth time that day, my vision was blinded by a magical light. Except this time, I was scared of what the result was. There stood Meichi James, in the same armor I saw in my dream. She seemed like some sort of angelic savior , but I had to tell myself that she was the exact opposite. She was the enemy- and after me. I had to keep reminding myself that.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmpZIy65nT

Her gaze was locked on Samuel , and without breaking that unnerving eye contact, she grasped a golden key from her ring, and pointed it straight at him.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62GzsCcbxF

"I summon the Ruin Guardian, Amelia Icurai."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9bUnjV5j3

As the summoning mantra was spoken, a energy blast shot out of the key's end like gunfire, and from it came another angel, with tattered robes and blood stained wings.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPGhArQFnO

"So you've finally come to face someone of your own caliber, is that it James?" Samuel said, sounding a little cocky. He was still in his transformed state, so it looked like a frost giant about to face off an angel duo, for lack of a more indimidating term.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaTdIVFydm

"Less of that, more of trying to serve justice where its needed. You've abused your power for too long!" A long silver sword appeared in Meichi's hand as she pointed the blade towards Samuel, the tip of it almost touching the latter's armor.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeGBZLWJOm
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO9hq1M4W9
"Trying to be the savior, now are you? After all you've done?" Samuel scoffed. "After all those you've killed for your own greedy purpose?"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckrFchrD3O

"If this is a competition of who if the right one, I would say my reasons are far more righteous than yours. Belittling your own 'soilder', as you call them, for being passive? I wouldn't call that anything righteous." Meichi's voice was monotone, her face without expression. I will still in the arena's lock, so I couldn't do anything but watch.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrIUkvpbPy

"Then why are you here, Meichi?" Samuel was beginning to lose his temper, I could tell. "Are you here for a fight? For another check off your hitlist?"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhEzw8scn4
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmACCArdvfi
Meichi at last raised her sword. "I said my motives earlier - to serve justice. " With that, the large blade came swinging down, and if Samuel hadn't jerked his head back, his mask getting knocked off would've been the least of his worries.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiXsXZmZur

"You little brat! " He growled, taking out a small, icicle shaped dagger. "I'm not going to let a little kid beat me! You're going to be the one in peices!" He took the blade and tore it down his arm, letting the blood pool on the floor. Grace cringed at the sight . "I summon the Serpent Within! Hi-kashou!"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnNcCOqaBt

Appearing behind the S Rank, was a Dragon whose head burst through the ceiling, and into the Silver Arena, from what I could see. Sasha, Kinoko, May, and Maggie peered through the newly developed hole in the ceiling, or floor for them.
"What's with the dragon!?" Maggie snapped, looking amoungst the rubble. "Is this part of the A Rank exam!? Because Dear God!"
"This is no exam!" May exclaimed, pointing to Meichi. "Look!" All those on the upper floor turned their gaze to where May was pointing, and one by one, developed expressions of shock and fear. All except Kinoko, who stood up and took a position in which she looked like she was about to jump.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLEA7n5AFR

The others tried to hold her back, and Kinoko attempted to break free, writhing , and shouting things such as "Let me down there, I want to beat that girl to a pulp!" and "I can't let SAM of all people take the glory! Let me go!"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHHdYB8LrH

"Is this how it's going to be?" Meichi said, her previously unexpressive face forming a half smile, before chuckling slightly. "You never really thought things through, Samuel."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyqoZPMstb

The War Angel lifted herself into the air and lunged toward the dragon. Hi-kashou attempted to flail to escape from her pending attack, but then it clicked .
The dragon was trapped within the arena with no room to move because it was so damn big.
I mean, it could just smash everything to make room, but I think that'd be pretty hard considering what the walls could possibly be made of.
First she sliced off it's wings, the appendages turning into magical matter as they became dismembered from Hi-kashou.The beast threw it's head back and roared, I could only guess that is was from pain. I felt a little sorry for the beast, to be perfectly honest.
Looking away from what happened next, I saw the character named Amelia occupying Samuel, the former having the arieal advantage, occasionally shooting at where Samuel stood with a blade - firearm hybrid. The moment Samuel recovered from dodging the last shot, down came another. As I watched the battle, a thought breezed through my mind.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7f8x4CtQr

I attempted to flex my hand. I could do that. Taking a step, I had made the discovery that I was completely mobile. Taking that information in, I darted towards Grace, who was scared stiff in the corner. Her eyes lit up as I almost tackled her, mainly because Samuel was barreling towards me.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7RpW9euVD

"You broke free of the area lock!?" She asked, alarmed.
"I think that's the least of our worries!" I growled , sounding more agressive then I had meant to. "We have to get out of here!"
Grace was about to reply when another voice cut over it, along with another blinding light.

"Kinoko look out!" I shouted, but it was to late at that point. She had been clocked in the head and was now laying unconcious on the floor.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZRPVkwPpF

"Get the rest of them, leave no one standing and I don't want the S Rank alive!" Meichi shouted, looking like she was adressing the shadow. I gulped. That could only mean one thing.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3Fj9hePmg
