After fighting through a small group of Enforcers, blood tails suddenly shot out and cut them off, blocking their route to rescue the kid on the hanging block. He was on his tippie toes, just barely keeping himself supported enough so that he wouldn't suffocate on the rope. "The Black Reaper." Xavier's voice was wary, full of apprehension. "What are you plotting?" The Black Reaper's white hair glistened in the light and Aria couldn't help but feel as if there was some sort of beauty in it. She was snapped out of her thoughts by Jenny. "Xav and I are gonna get the kid. Can you keep him off our backs?" The wind mage grinned, air crackling in her fists. Of course she could do that! "Oy, Reaper! Eyes on me, because I'm your opponent here!"
That's right, at long last it was time for a rematch. This was what she was waiting for, blood was flowing through her veins, she could feel every pulse of her heart. It was almost like entering a state of hyper-awareness. One slip up and it was all over. That's what it meant to fight against someone stronger than you. "Don't die, Ari." Xavier whispered as he transported himself and Jenny over to fight through the rest of the enforcers guarding the prisoner. Aria raised her arm up into the sky above her, air forming around it to form a dragon and she fired it right at the Black Reaper, riding on the dragon's head. "Nemesis remembers the last fight, Reaper! The Goddess of Revenge won't lose a second time!" The Black Reaper's eyes looked up impassively and then blood tails shot out almost like arms of blackness exploding out of his body to reach her.
"Weak." The Black Reaper taunted as he smashed Nemesis out of the air. She twisted her body and then rolled to land safely, using the momentum of the roll to launch herself at him, hissing like a wildcat. "Shoku would be disappointed. You aren't suited to be my enemy." A blast of air all around her to speed herself up just like a rocket and too fast for Ronan to react, she barreled right into him. "Leader, now!" She yelled and Xavier pulled the boy to safety, ready to snap his fingers to send himself and Jenny to safety and that was when a blood tail went whirling and Aria didn't have the time to scream a warning because as she tried to block it another skewered her through the thigh, looping around like an earring before encircling her chest. "Break now." He ordered and the blood tail tightened.
Was Xavier okay? In the last moment before he and Jenny were transported Aria could swear the blood tail stabbed through both Xavier and the boy, were they okay? There was quite an amount of blood where they once were, what if - no she needed to focus on herself, she couldn't die here, not against the Black Reaper! Stronger, Aria needed to get stronger! "That's my girlfriend you're holding there, mate." A voice, and then a burst of fire erupted, lighting up the stage. The Black Reaper was forced back and an shot of electricity cut through the blood tail. Raven grinned, flashing a peace sign. "I told you, didn't I?" She said cheerfully, her non-patched eye glinting with fervor. "The HIVE is allies with the Freedom Fighters from here on out!"
"You're safe now." Fox said as the Black Reaper scurried away like the rat he was. A hasty kiss, a soft embrace. "Now go, you need to get that looked after." He had wrapped a rudimentary bandage around the wound but it was deep and it throbbed, Leo was going to need to tend to it. "Thank you." Aria breathed, kissing her lover back. "I'm still not strong enough yet, I need more power." If Raven was listening she didn't give any indication. And so Aria floated herself back to the Odaiba base and then released the invisibility, stumbling in through the front door. "Xav?" She asked tiredly. "Jenny? The kid? Are they okay?"
