Chapter 44: New Ally?
"Everyone evacuate, immediately!" Takashi demanded, his mech booting up once more in the swirl of the chaos, his grip tightening around the controls. Everyone ran away, pushing past whatever got in their way. Their cries filled the air with panic as the creature continued to tower over them.
"Elliot! Are you alright?!" Fiona rushed over to her friend’s aid, the hatch opening to show the unconscious boy in his chair, his breathing was stable, crimson running down his temple just shy of his lips. "Shit..."
The hum of Fiona’s thrusters stretched across the field, the mech launching towards the creature, her mechanic arm outstretched before the titan as she started to rapid fire, the swift bullets of blue light bouncing off the creature’s body, leaving nothing but smoke in its wake without a scratch on it.
"Takashi! We have a situation!" Fiona shouted over his HUD, temporarily blocking his vision to the threat before him, its arm swatting his mech back to the ground, its metal scratched as it went through multiple buildings, smoke and debris shooting up to the sky.
"Just take him and go!" Takashi grunted, his mechanic arm gripping the shattered concrete as hard as he could for leverage. Fiona gritted her teeth, her eyes snapping back to the unconscious boy that remained by her side.
Without wasting a second thought, she dragged the boy out somewhere safe in the open. Resting his back against a flat slab of a building, his head slightly tilted as he continued his slumber.
"Hold on for me..." She muttered, running back to his mech and turning on the system.
