Infinity: Rising of the Soul Weavers

* Jim Yosef & Anna Yvette - Linked [NCS Release] *

"Step away from her!" Aella yelled while jumping in front of the unconscious crimson-purple haired girl, pink lightning dancing around her body and highlighting her green eyes.

Gritting his teeth while stepping next to her, Zeru decided to go all out since the girl in front of him seemed to be rather powerful. 

If he was to fight her with Aella on their current level, they'd both lose more than just an arm or a leg. 'I guess there's no way around it,' he muttered to himself while taking a deep breath.

"Zeru? Are we doing it?" Aella asked with a furious expression. She couldn't stand the girl in the dark dress any longer.

"Uhm," Zeru nodded as his aura flared violently. "Carry Raven and leave, now." He said to Maria who was hugging her unmoving body.

Close to her stood Axth who was a Malaian himself. Crouching near Axane, sweat and blood covered his silver skin while trying to help her.

Currently, he and Kayla were in the process of healing her soul... the last soul she had.

However, it was more than just damaged, and as such, they needed to perform a delicate procedure to make sure she can make it back to full health.

Although Kayla was currently focusing mostly on Axane, rather than Raven, a part of her consciousness was making sure she was not in any internal danger by applying the blessings and other skills she had access to through Raven. 

'I am worried about Raven, but I doubt she can handle losing Axane as well…' Kayla muttered to herself, her eyes sparking with tears.

"Sorry boss," Axth said in response to Zeru's order. "That's a no can do… from the mana escaping your body, I'm assuming you and the girl next to you can buy us a couple of seconds?"

He asked fully knowing that the two together were more powerful than most of the EDA officials he knew.

Clenching his fists, Zeru nodded. "At least take some necessary-" before he could finish his sentence, Kayla's body dispersed into thin air.

Moments later, Raven opened her eyes. However, instead of her normal gold or recent exotic white she displayed, her irises were dyed dark purple.

Without saying a word, she jumped backwards and stood near the group helping the unconscious Axane, with Maria in toe.

"Give me a hand!" She ordered Jakol who instantly nodded. With a flex of her hand, silver gooey substance materialised in front of her.

Sighing, Jakol released his large wings and shot some feathers down as a protective barrier surrounded them. 

Without a second to spear, Kayla who was controlling Raven's body shot the silver cyber matter onto the feathers.

Moments later, a dome started to form around them, silver circuits swirling within.

Looking back at the girl in the dark dress, Zeru could see two dark swords in her hands now, instead of one. 

"Those are too dangerous, please be careful," he said to Aella while passing his hand in front of his face. As he did, a dark cyan mask with black patterns was formed on his face, covering it entirely.

The mask resembled an exotic demon with glowing bright white eyes that had no irises or pupils, and two short horns that shot upwards from the forehead area.

Flaring her own aura similarly, pink lightning condensed itself under Aella's eyes as two lightning bolts glued themselves there, resembling live tattoos, giving her a fierce look.

Both siblings seemed to pulse with immeasurable power while clenching their fists hard in anger.

A terrifying dark cyan spear was formed between Zeru's hands who promptly caught it midair and launched himself forward in a swift movement.

However, before he could even reach the girl in the dark dress, pink lightning passed just besides him as Aella flickered and reappeared in front of the girl in a mid slash stance, two bright green swords in her hand.

Completing the motion and slashing at the girl who had a cold smile on her face, Aella was surprised that she had countered both swords efficiently.

Not giving a chance for the girl to celebrate her counter, Aella dashed backwards to evade the black swords while sending a bolt of lightning her direction as a distraction.

Just as she did, a small dark shockwave was generated and sent towards her as an after effect of the slash.

Plunging down from the sky was Zeru who trusted his sister in taking care of herself.

Spinning like a tornado, Zeru's spear almost went through the girl's guard and through her head, but alas she was not only prepared, but as strong as him if not more. As such, she blocked it easily while sending a strike of her own.

Breaking the dark shockwave with a pink one of her own, Aella dashed and exchanged a couple of extra strikes with the girl.

The siblings kept the girl in the dark dress in check, which was rather impressive. However, she was getting tired of this.

They weren't against her lowly subordinate anymore, but they were up against a predator, and she wanted to make sure they knew that.

Feeling danger all around them, the siblings quickly flickered away.

Massive amount of mana escaped the girl's body as the ground underneath her started releasing some dark smoke.

Smiling like a snake eyeing her food, the girl started floating midair as dark energy gathered around her, plaguing the atmosphere.

"I hope you've had enough fun for now,* she smiled coldly yet sadistically, "because I can assure you, this is your last time!"

And with that, hell broke loose.

***

Sitting in a dark field of dried up flowers, Raven was silently hugging her knees, warm tears running down her golden eyes.

"Why did you leave me, Maya?" she muttered with a look of disappointment, if anything. "How do you expect me to live on like this?"

Thinking back to the time she had first met Maya, back when she was trapped in Lady Luck's grasp, it was little Maya that had helped her keep her sanity.
