And to that, he had to capitalise on the fact that he was somewhat faster than the beetle. If he could time exactly when the beetle would launch out a sonic attack at him, then he could use that to perfectly time its race to the back of it. 

Being that the beetle was slow, it would be hard enough for it to turn around pretty fast to redirect the flow of the sonic boom at him, all the while its back was still open and powering its vibrator. And then,just before the vents could close, he could jump up there and bite, claw everything he could to deal a real critical strike. 

The only problem now was that he had been rather silent and unmoving but then the Beetle had just remained still, watching it. 

‘Open your back, you damned beetle.’ Bayo bared his fangs.

    Ronke gasped in shock.At the very moment, all her hopes were on the verge of collapsing.. Even more, she was just about to add the death of someone who never should have a part in any of this, on her conscience.What was Bayo even here?She panicked, stretching out her hand to the stage almost as if she wanted to summon a blast of wind to swipe Bayo over and away from that stage. Her chest heaved heavily as Bayo whimpered, dragging himself heavily after he had been hit by the earlier sonic boom of the beetle.The MC roared out in enjoyment of the whole show. “What did I tell you, my people? This is premium content for you all. It is still not too late for you to adjust your bets to the winning side. Exactly”She hated the words that the MC was saying.

    The Laprisha Soul beast Contest had been intended to run its full course with the interval of a year in between.In context, this meant that the leadership of Laprisha was only viable for the length of one year. Anyone who decided would want to remain in office after then would have to then compete again in the Contest.Infact, the contest of the ruling incumbent Lord was not debatable when looked at. For every contest that came about, one still had to deul the Lord.The Adzes valued and respected strength. In fact, the law of the Laprisha was inclined to worship the feet of those who were strong. Which is why in the case when the guards are supposedly to go after a person or people would rather shy away from that just because of the strength that person valued. In like manner, the people who lived in the town would not want to entrust their position of leadership to just someone who did not have something powerful enough for the town. After al

    “Hmm!” Shin nodded. “So, you are saying that beside targeting the back of the beetle, that if the Wolf targets the throat region, the Sonic ability would be nullified, right?”“Of course! What do you expect to happen?” The Beastkin laughed. “WIthout the sonic vibrators, the air current that it sucks in through the air vents, is practically useless. And if the air currents can not get to the vibrators because they are destroyed, then the air absorbed would end up needing somewhere to go.”“Yes, that is true.” Hana said, raising a finger to her lips. “ Once it takes in its needed air quantity, it shuts the air vents so that the air does not escape. So, if the air cannot be converted into sonic waves through the sonic vibrators, then the air would blow up the body of the Beetle.”<

    The next moment, a ball of light soared past even as the bull staggered around, trying to gain a footing of itself. The ball soared into the area behind the door and then with a flash, Shin and Hana appeared in its place, Hana being held in the hand by Shin.“Heh!” Shin let go of her hand as they stared up ahead. “ We made it.”Hana gasped at the scene before her. Her heart went double on the beat as her muscles became taut almost immediately, her entire form frozen to the spot. “Commander Eno?”"You're joking. That's the commander??" Shin gasped, lowering his eyes glasses with one hand.He just could not believe it. Hana had been right all along. Yes, even though Ronke had somewhat confirmed it then but still, a part of him had argued that they had both been mistaken.However, right before his eyes were the Commander and Ronke and Tangera.

It was not even a full blast but yet his energy had been chopped up like this.What could he do?‘Well, i could choose!’ Bayo growled at the last moment.Yes, he could do that. He could choose when and how he was going to die, that is, if he ever got to choose whether he would die. This life was his and no one had the right to chop it short.Not even the damned beetle.‘Heed me, Stupid Law!’ Bayo criedout desperately for one more time.

    In a match to the death as all soul beast contest battles were, the ability of a beast to make optimal decisions in the blink of an eye had been the grace that had seen them to live and win.When faced with opponents, these beasts are able to adapt to the conditions that they fight with, even to the extent of changing their style and manner of approach just to be on level ground with the opponent before them.It is of popular opinion that the soul beasts are not sentient beasts. But however because of the bond that these creatures share with their hosts, a level of intelligence is attained in them. Sometimes, this intelligence may span as a result of experience gained when going out on various missions with the hosts or just as a result of time and growth.For beasts with longer time as a soul bond

    And Pain.. “AAAAAGAGHHHHHH!” The huntress yelled out as the chunk of earth ripped through her back, spearing its way through her entire body, all the way from the back to the front of her. “Now, you can burn!” Ronke said and then, with a smile, she stomped her feet on the deck of the ship, willing back all of the flames that she had been keeping at bay. All of it, towards the screaming form of the huntress even as the ship began to break and scatter into bits of matter down the mountain ranges below. “Now, now." Ronke said, smiling as she willed up a gust of wind to take her off the deck as the deck finally succumbed to the head and the destruction of the flames even after it provided a dying frame for the figure of the huntress earlier. And then,the hull of something already so familiar appeared, rising above the form of Ronke. It lowered itself, a figure, which was Hana standing at the foredeck with her hand extended waiting to take the hands of

    A large spike of Earth tore through the front deck of the ship, ripping through the spot that Slyka had stood in only seconds away now. The moment it ripped through,a gigantic explosion of flames burst out in the lower deck now, the entire mass of the licked up in instant flames and heat, turning out to be a massive firework in the sky. Now.... Ronke panicked. The level of destruction that she had caused with her earth spike stalling was catastrophic. She had to keep a wall of oxygen deprived air about her to keep the flames from gathering around her or ve scathing her own skin. She was not insusceptible to fire,after all, despite being able to control fire though. She was worried. But then, the worry about the CFR was the least of her concerns.

    The Combat of the Air Mistress

    The Hunter is a killing machine which is specifically designed for such missions of severity, they do not show emotions and have no need for that because for the missions which they are assigned for, they have to be through and effectively. Their blows need to count and so the hunters are given new identities and introduced to the quality demanding system of the CFR. WHich would mean that even their souls are inculcated and taught about the values of the Cfr. In Other Words, they live for the CFR. However,this option of being a Hunter or Huntress is always so optional and never is forced on those within or without the CFR organization. It is only for those who truly seek to unlock the next level that the Cfr holds the key to. Lest we digress, the hunter is a single entity of overwhelming force. Unless the Hunters are all occupied at the moment or the CFR wishes not to involve them, then the army of

Sure enough, there might be a choice, lurking somewhere down the alley but for the matter of time being, we are blinded to it. And thus, the inevitable is what we eventually have to come for.

    ‘Yeoowww’ Bayo could only scream out in his mind, mentally as his whole body went through a wreath of red hot flames. Still in the gust of the momentum of the jump from earlier, his body went on, traversing space as he crossed the distance which was between the two ships. His body was roasting and he flew tall of the what, all of his insides feeling like marshmallows now. And oh, how hot the fumes were. The mere scent of the smoke that was about was roasting his nose, smelting down all of his internal organs that dealt with smell and breathing. His body hairs kept on shrinking as they blazed, the entire mass of the Lightning Fist Chimp now reduced to a literal burning mass of meat. Panic surged through his body now as Bayo crashed down to the decking of the larger CFR ship. While he wanted to re

    The feeling had been instantouse for Bayo. For him to switch into the form of an Adze all in a bit and then revert back to the form of a Familiar Prime had been all so super fast. It was something which he did not think he would have been able to achieve, without Yasmin with him. Yes, of course, he could just as easily switch his body form ,without Yasmin being involved but also, he had to consider the event of the last time. He had spoked Ronke and the rest up when he had suddenly switched into the form of a growing Familiar Prime, as a youngling. He would not want something of such to repeat itself again, especially since it was bound to be a really rough ride in a bit, being that the CFR pursuing ship had arrived. It would be best not to unsettle anyone so that they could focus on what was really necessary and pivotal to their staying in the air for longer.

    Beside a thorough negotiation skill as one of the prerequisites for a good CFR agent, another thing is to be considered in the midst of the yet many factors about a CFR agent. While the others may be so desiring, we would stress here once again, that lethal force is not always so desired in the CFR. If there is need forreal lethal force, there is the outer Consort of the Drakonian Confederacy or even the Inner Consort of the Drakonian Confederacy Army. If need be for thorough lethal force, then the army would be duly notified. An in such case this is often out of the hand of the CFR, However, be it known that it does not undermine the quality of the Cfr. While there is this option, the CFR does have its availability of lethal force.

    Earlier… GBA MMM! A loud bang exploded now and the ship suddenly rocked to the left violently. Bayo could only growl silently in pain as his head, in reaction to the sudan movement, bounced against the wooden bar just before his head, towards the left hand side of the bed. “What happened?” ROnke and Hana shouted almost immediately as they jolted out of the cabin, looks of questioning on their face towards the one at the cockpit. Shin. ‘Well…” Shin cried out to them, his head tilted upwards, looking at something which was beyond them. “We have company and they have real mood swings.” He said, tilting to the right with the steering wheel as he attempted to stabilise the ship now. ****
