Romans & histoires Ace Combat X: Skies Of Deception

BREAKTHROUGH DaQuan SLAMS his hand onto the ice. [DAQUAN] Ark! Look at me! Arkcadis's eyes LOCK onto DaQuan. The glow in his chest FLARES. [ARKCADIS] (soft, then thunderous) I am not alone. TIME SHATTERS. The suspended ice SHATTERS simultaneously. Arkcadis RIPS FREE, wings tearing through the slowed space. AERIAL COMBAT Arkcadis ROCKETS upward, grabbing Shinjuku mid-air. [SHINJUKU]

“Now!” Ashley’s vision sharpened in terror. One Iron Fang tried to flank them, moving wide to strike from behind. Jax pivoted mid-roll, firing low. The attacker dropped with a scream. Another Fang bolted for the van. Ace revved his bike, forcing the van to skid violently. Tires spun, gravel sprayed, dust choking her nose. The van fishtailed before disappearing into the black desert night, leaving a wounded Fang groaning on the asphalt.

Viex groaned because he already knows what to expect. Viex poked Ace’s cheek and pointed to the direction where Kaya was waiting for them. Ace nodded as he kicks a man down the stair, which cause a domino effect that carried the other rogues down along with him. Ace reattached his double blades together to form into a bow before he slung it to his back. And then, he jumped OFF of the rails and grabbed the chandelier. Viex saw an arrow flying towards them and he flicked one off with his tail.

Half shifting so that only his claws would come out, Ace slashed at the throats of those coming in his way, uncaring if they were the undead or shifters. As Ace marched deep into the millions of fighting soldiers, he saw the odd foot soldiers using spikes and battle axes. Finally, he had reached his goal and leapt into the air, ready to attack Luna Crystal who continued to stand still and stare at him. Just before his claws would have slashed across her face, however, a loud sound echoed raising a large storm of sand.

The caretaker of Shay, disapproving of the situation, had sought help, leading to their discovery. Upon entering the bedroom, Ace saw Sky chained to the bed, appearing drugged. He reached out and touched her arm, causing her to startle and burst into tears, protesting that she didn't consent and was in pain. Ace's frustration turned into a growl, regretting his misjudgment. As he leaned in to comfort her, Sky recognized his scent, opened her eyes, and wept even harder, overwhelmed by the ordeal.

CHAPTER 58 The Sky Court Knocks Early September 11, 2029 – Aerie Academy, the first five minutes of war They come down like silver hail. Hundreds of Sky soldiers in mirrored armor, wings made of living gale, spears that scream when they cut air. I’m already moving. Sânge Furtună hits the rail that runs straight off our broken balcony and I drop with it, wind roaring in my ears, Hellebore Mist drawn and hungry.

I only drank a sip from my cup, when I look at her face, it was like she froze. "What's happening?" - I want to ask her, but my body starts to shake, the cup falls to the floor and breaks, and I'm just shaking while my body starts floating through the roof, towards the dark blue sky. And just like before, it's dark again. I hear a long sigh, then a whisper: "You have to kill him this...". But the voice fades, and I desperately try to say something, anything but I can't. And slowly, I feel my eyelids closing... ~~~~~~~~~~~

Keira I think I made a mistake. Whatever possessed me to think I could face the club owner sober? Jax is intimidating when I’m drunk, and he’s downright terrifying now that I’m sober. He stares at me like I’m prey and he’s a predator waiting for me to make a move before he devours me alive. “So?” he asks. Shit. He spoke first. Jax spreads his hands out in a welcoming manner. “I have a few minutes, go ahead. Plead your case.”

It was obvious that he was struggling to keep up, but no way was I going to let him catch me and just end up slowing me down. Relief bathed my tingling skin when I saw that there were no bodies, fighting or blood. Ace seemed to have gathered a lot of his people in the short time, and they were already in defensive and attack mode. More men emerged from the trees in wolf form, making Ace's army bigger. Dad's army was just as big, and I could recognize a few of my trainers and warriors. I also saw Phillip and Aiden, and Aiden was the first out of the two groups to see me coming.

Officer Fagen comes over at the commotion and tells the Paramedics to show me. One of them unzipped the bag to Mom's chest and I stopped struggling in Frankie's hold. Pa had beat Mom from the chest area that I can see up to and around her head bad enough that the right side of her skull and face are caved in as is her chest wall. If I hadn't left that would have been me instead of Mom. I'd be the one on that stretcher dead and Mom and Will and Frankie would be safe and Mom could have been happier. ""Dulce Jesus madre de Maria!" I whisper.
