“They must be watching from somewhere” she looks up from the alley, sighting movement, she carefully aims and fires, amour absorbing the recoil.
-
The water attacking Jax quickly dropped to the ground and from the direction Mio shot, someone could be seen scuttling past the window of the building. Ryuuji puts his gun down and reaches into his jacket, “Great eye, kid.” He says with a smile in his voice, “Not a bad shot, especially for your first time.” He produced a small hand grenade, “I can fire them out.”
-
“I’m better with a bow” Mio remarks, following the movement “Show yourself” her voice booming within her armour.
-
Ryuuji nods, “The other guy might be able to hook you up.” He turned his attention back to person scuttling through the building, “I have a bomb. If you don’t leave, I’ll kill you.” The person inside seemed to become scared, “Ok! I’m coming!” There were some scuttley noises from within the building, then a small girl with a pastel blue hoodie appeared holding her hands above her head, a fearful look in his eye.
-
Jax falls onto his hands and knees. His armor, gills, and fire disappearing.
-
Ryuuji looks at Jax and the girl, then turns toward Mio, “Do you mind dealing with her? I shoud check on my ally.” He said, putting the grenade back in his pocket, then walks briskly into the center of the street up to Jax. He picks him up by the arm and puts it over his shoulder to support him, “You alright, man?”
-
Jax smirks weakly, “Y-yeah just drained myself a bit from summoning the dragon… and many other things.” He stumbles when he tries to walk.
-
Mio strides over, her amour making her tower over the child “What should I do with her?” she calls.
-
Ryuuji sighs slightly, shouldering a little more of Jax’s weight, “I guess we’ll go back to base for you to rest.” He begins to walk back towards the center of the crossing, turning his attention back to Mio. He hesitates for a moment before responding, “I mean… she’s just a kid so we can’t kill her…” He puts his hand on the back of his helmet, “Maybe we should just keep her?”
-
Mio nods and hoists the kid onto her sholder, moving to follow, Ryuuji.
-
Jax looks at Ryuuji, “No, just look for the other rings. I will be fine.”
-
Ryuuji picks up the gun he dropped earlier and quickly inspects it for dents, “We’ll collect the ones in this area, most of the others should be gone for now, anyway there’s not enough here for all of us.” He looks up at the girl over Mio’s shoulder, “How many do you have?” She picks up her head and glances to him, “Only one…” She glances at Jax briefly then looks down and mumbles with a guilty expression, “…Sorry…” Ryuuji reaches into his pocket, “I’ve only got one,” He says, “There’s probably only a couple more around here.”
-
Jax shrugs, “It’s alright kid, it’s just how the game goes.”
-
Mio checks her phone with her spare hands “there’s a cluster of three a couple streets over” she points.
-
Ruuji glances at his too, then looks up in that direction, “It looks like that’s a hotel. It could be a trap, plus now that we have rings, we’re a target and can be tracked.” He said, walking around the block and picking up the remaining rings with his directional camera, “On the other hand, I think that’s enough for all of us to have three.” He rejoined the others with five more rings around his wrist. He handed two to Jax, one to Mio, one to Sui and kept the last, “So do you guys want to take that risk or find them somewhere else?”
