The Regus aimed the beam at Aria. Her hope dashed the moment the waves laid onto her skin. Aria closed her eyes and waited. There was nothing but pain. And not just hers.
But this was not like anything Aria had ever endured, the pain of a gun shot, it felt more like the Bannak had engulfed her instead of just burnt her hands. Aria could feel the leather grip of her sword heating against the metal of her sword. Aria gripped it tighter. It was her life in that sword. As long as she held it, she would survive.
Aria felt Borovsky wake. Then the pain stopped. How long had it stopped? A gun shot fired and Aria's eyes shot open. The pain and the anger were all she felt. The bite of the leather against her skin as the swords metal no longer being super heated.
A second shot fired. Aria found the source - Martin taking aim at Ascendancy. She didn't see Regus nearby. Where had he gone? But there was no hesitation as the darkness consumed Aria. She let it take her. The man before her was going to kill her. But not before she put her sword through his gut.
Aria squeezed the hilt tighter as she took the first painful step towards Borovsky. Another and the pain seared her legs and the air she breathed. But she relished the pain, drank it down in the darkness. He didn't even turn to look at her as she slid her sword through his rib cage with all the force she had left in her. Her sword sank to the hilt into the body of her handler. Aria sneered as she fell against his back. "I got you first."
Aria twisted her blade as his body fell to the side and she collapsed with him.
