They had to get out of there there, it just wasn't strategic, it was a poor execution. But they really had no choice it's not like they had planned it. Or did she. But he doubted it, from the way she had reacted to them, they were as much of a surprise to her as they where to him. Whatever the hell they were.
Bas had the right idea, he cleared the path and they got out, Nox waited until the very last moment before he let his weave go. He wished that it wasn't limiting. But he couldn't dwell on that, they were still fighting.
Nox was sure that Bas was done in, there was no presence left, Nox was the only one left. His head swelled with pride, but he hadn't been working as hard with the power as Bas had. He gave him props for that. Nox had held his whip and used it. It saved on energy but he knew he couldn't do it forever, and the girl was growing weary as well, he could tell from the way she swung her sword.
The beasts came at them through the opening Bas had tried to take it out but it was still open. He'd caused them to slow. Nox mimicked what he'd done. Explosions were actually easy and there was a science to it. He didn't know it but he knew where to place his bombs. He stayed behind Ninja girl and let her do her thing while he did his. She'd saved his bacon twice today, he doubted she would let another through with out it being her last moment.
Death, that was something to ponder...But not now. Nox let his weave explode and placed yet another one. The ceiling crumbled, the noise echoed in the distance. And then there was nothing. No empty space, no monsters crawling through the hole. Only what monsters had made it through. Nox remade his whip and helped the girl out. He owed her a few. But she dispatched them nearly as quickly as they came. She liked the kill, she looked like it was heaven. He'd seen the look before on a girls face, but it was not because of death. She scared him, but he was ultimately glad she was on their side.
Nox wrapped the flaming whip around the last of the creatures neck and yanked. He heard the crack, it was perfect. The hunt, he hadn't felt this good in months. Not since he woke up. It was paradise.
He went to her. She held her hand out warning him away. She bent down panting heavily, trying to catch her breath. She glanced back at him, and he saw a fight, not a real one, he saw the fight she had going on inside. Her eyes spoke volumes, and Nox approached slowly. He put his hand on her shoulder and she collapsed to her knees. It wasn't tears, or sadness, but she was tired, emotionally and physically. He sat down next to her with his hand still on her shoulder. He surveyed the area then laid back against the cold floor. It was wet more than cold, he didn't care. He asked from his back. "Everyone alright."
He said to the air, but specifically at the girl he didn't know. "I'm Nox. The one you embarrassed is Pyotr and the other is Bas. My mates, came to spar with me. Didn't expect this."
She looked over at him with a smile, she was not fighting inside anymore. He grinned up at her. "Aria. I didn't expect this either."
