Ch. 16 Rescue in the Ruins

[VirusZero]

Andraia had very nearly caught up to the others when this large reploid had appeared behind her. She saw it's buster light up and dropped to the ground. It fired a shot from it's buster that went screaming by. Not waiting to give it another chance to land a shot, she rolled onto her back and activated her jets and took off. She gained only about a foot of altitude before she flipped over and righted herself. She flew into the path on the left as others scrambled their way into the other paths.

Though she never got a chance to see who went where in the confusion. She wasn't even sure if anyone had tagged along with her or not. But she didn't really care if they had or not. She'd gone solo before and she would likely do so again.

Stark watched as the blast shot by and the reploid made it's presence known. Then it's shoulders opened and missile batteries were revealed. Soon the missiles took flight and explosions started going off as they impacted.

Stark dove to the right into the farthest right path, along with Rai.

Stark picked himself up off the ground slowly. The rubble behind him created somewhat of a barrier between them and that reploid.
"What was that thing?" He asked.
"And where did it come from?" He turned to Rai, not really expecting an answer but more to just break the silence that had fallen.
