"Mister... Magami? But how... we never..." Asheera laid there, still holding onto the hole in her stomach. "Felt the trouble! With permission from the general, we were to engage! You don't gotta worry! After this; The Soul-Core will assist in any repairs Tristate City needs." This was perfect, hearing from the top guy of the Star Gazers Squad himself. Asheera felt hopeful for the first time. If they weren't strong enough, then maybe the Star Gazers Squad was. She was still injured and Marin prompted her not to speak, but she felt angry. "I was a fool to accept Lord Veyron's alliance proposal..." Claude Magami landed, breaking the ground and forming a small crater around him. He brushed himself off before running towards their position. "Now! Who's the enemy at hand here?" "Hey! Magami guy! It's dat Kaioshun fella! He beat us funny an' jus' like dat, he's gone!" Marin explained to him. "Somethin' about findin' dat Flynnigan Shotaro fella and dat Jumkou chick! We don't know if dat Jumkou chick is still alive or not but 'e did say dat he killed 'er!" "Alright... I think I got the gist of it now." Asheera took the comm from Marin and put it next to her face. "M-Mister Magami, d-don't engage! He was way... too strong for us! He's... way above our l-league!" Claude smirked incredibly as he ran towards Asheera's position. This was him at his best, fighting a strong guy. He always wants to fight strong guys because it's exciting. .:. Above our league? ALRIGHT! .:. "That's all I needed to hear, love! Over and out!" He turned off the comm and began making his way. "Mister... Magami... Mister Magami! Do not e-en..." Asheera trailed off. "Did he... just... ignore me?" She sighed in defeat. She couldn't believe what was happening anymore. She laid there on the ground, bleeding profusely from her stomach. She was almost dead already. However, Marin sat next to her and supplied her with Soul Energy of her own to keep her from dying. "... We can't lose ya too, Berserker..." Marin told her. "Marin... Thank you..." Asheera managed to smile, even though she was in so much pain. She was losing blood faster than Marin could heal her with Soul-Energy. It was a losing battle. Maduk sighed, holding Kaelan and Samuell tightly. - .:. Tracing Soul-Aura... .:. Claude picked up a threatening aura. There's only one aura that's as evil as this, it's gotta be him. He knows the trail that he left behind, and now he's hot on his tail. "There!" However, Claude wasn't the only one on Kaioshun's tail. Running behind him was the blue haired girl in her dedicated Argo-Suit. "I hate you and your knack for fighting strong guys! We're running towards a suicide mission here!" "I'm going to face even more danger! This Kaioshun guy must be very strong! That just gets my blood pumping!" Nanasu groaned. She knows Claude Magami better than anyone, and this is something he would do. In fact, fighting is all he likes doing. He wouldn't hesitate to fight the most strongest people he can find. He rarely loses fights as well, so there's nothing to worry about. It doesn't mean Nanasu won't worry. Especially when the person they're fighting against is the same person who was even unharmed after fighting Sachiel Eria. "Maybe you should listen to what the Princess says and not engage him at all! We're nowhere near his level, we should wait for the Great Kamisword to arrive!" "Huh! I came here for a specific reason, not backing out of it! You can stick back and help defend but I'm going straight for the core. No distractions!" Claude smirked. She sighed in pain, her legs were tired from running after him. Which was funny. Her Soul was all about speed, she should've been able to run faster than him but because she was running after him for a while, she got tired. "Man... I'm so going to die after this!" Another minute passed by and that's when Kaioshun was in sight. "Here. We. Go!" Claude said, jumping and punching right through a torn building wall - intercepting Kaioshun. "Hm?" Kaio
