The Art of Magic

Escape From Ganymede

Alex dodged to the side and reloaded his gun. He kicked up dust and jumped of a nearby wall sending a kick. It was swiftly evaded, but the hood was taken off.

Beautiful Red hair that extended until her elbows tied into a ponytail. Her Pure Black irises with red lines forming a circle near her pupils as if it was a solar eclipse. It's enchanting beauty drew in both of them who stared directly at it. She was wearing a voice modulator mask that covered half of her face.

Alex grinned as soon as he saw her hair. "Heh, a survivor... Now that's a surprise." However the red haired girl was silent. She spun her blade as she took off the voice modulator. Her beautiful face like a doll that looks like it would break if you touch it. Wearing an Expression colder than ice that would send chills down your very soul.

A faint scar ran across her left cheek but it didn't ruin her Oriental beauty in the slightest. She looked towards Nex and nodded slightly. Nex on the other hand was dazed those eyes were emitting Mana so vast it defeated the glow on Alex's armor.

However her eyes weren't the only eye-catching thing. It was those giant black headphones she was wearing on her head. it's decals glowed a shade of orange neon, with two glowing stars on each side.

The red haired girl turned her attention to Alex. As gestured for another round of bout, "Go... I'll hold him off." She said as Nex wobbly stood up and ran. Alex tried to run after her but was met with a horizontal slash.

"Stop getting in my way!" He bellowed at the girl. The girl however smirked and shrugged. Alex clicked his tongue and brought out his foldable oscillating blade. "Fine I'll take you down first."

The two exchanged swords the girl having obvious advantage. They kept at it making the air around them vibrate. After the bout the girl ran forward. Large outlines of slashes were seen at the two buildings that made the alley, It soon crumbled into large debris falling right in between them. She curtsied towards Alex.He was wearing a furious expression as he stared at the girl beyond the debris blocking the way.

"You think this is going to stop me?" He tried to punch through it but failed. He stared at the debris and saw a blue talisman with Asian inscriptions. He tried to touch it but as if a jelly like substance was blocking him. Looking at the way it was written it was probably Japanese.

He tried prying off the seal but alas still to no avail. He didn't understand what it was, but it was probably related to the thing they were scouring the earth for. He took several pictures and took a video of the foreign phenomenon infront of him to document his findings for his superiors.

After all that, he scoffed and he turned around and ran to a different route.

Nex felt her wristwatch vibrating she patched it through and heard Dessir's voice. "It's done, it's my turn to cover you."He said, soon enough Nex reached Nick and Blair shooting at the remaining soldiers.

But it was quite a hurdle away. Suddenly from behind, she was tapped. She looked towards the red haired girl and opened her eyes wide. "I owe you twice now. Thanks." The girl shook her head, "Think nothing of it. I like these kinds of parties too." She replied in a robotic voice.

Nex laughed softly, "Ain't that the truth."

Thier conversation however was cut short as soldiers of Magitech were right in front of them. "I'll handle this. You go and get yourself patched up." The red haired girl said as she winked, pushing Nex away from the enemies.

As Nex was bolting it on the other direction she shouted, "Do you accept credit? Or else my interest might skyrocket!" This earned her a chuckle from the red haired swrordswoman.

She ran quickly with the red haired girls support and they quickly dealt with the soldiers and She finally got inside the ship. She ran towards the medic bay and popped a painkiller straight into her mouth as she pulled the bullet out.

Strapping it with a Nanotech paste to close the wound. Staring at the screen she could see that Alex and his men already caught up. She ran towards her room and picked up her duffle bag.

She stood at the opened hatch and brought out a MIRV launcher and stared at the red haired girl. "Thanks for the help!" She shouted towards the red haired girl.

The girl nodded and said, "Infinite in mystery is the gift of the Gods." She raised her hand up towards the sky and clenched her fingers, "We seek it thus, and take to the red skies" She stared at the dead men scattered across their battle, "Ripples form on the bloodied battlefield." She bowed towards Nex and slowly blended in with the shadows leaving her last remarks, "Thy wandering soul knows no rest. Thine duty bound, and vengeance unquenched."

Nex raised her eyebrows and muttered under her breath, "Who the fuck talks like that?" She aimed towards Alex and his men. She fired and a loud thundering sound echoed through the area. A Rocket the size of an arm flew up as high as the tallest building and rained down a hail of tiny rockets towards Alex.

A series of explosions and screams followed after. Debris falling everywhere and beneath all of that were Magitech's soldiers buried under the rubble. Nex prompted Blair to move. The ship set it's destination to earth. Nex stared at her destructive wake for a few seconds before turning around.

The Redhaired woman looked towards the fading silhouette of the ship as it got further and further away with a small smile. Then at the dying soldiers buried beneath the rubble.

"The Age of Chaos has Begun once again."
