'ughhhh....where am i?' Two different colored eyes began to flutter open not recognizing their surroundings
Trying to move she found herself bound inside a strange tent, outside she could hear voices and the crackling of fire " watch the skies as well they have air units and make sure the canopy is set up properly it will be bad news if we are spotted"
Straining her neck trying to look around, the lack of light made that difficult however not able to make things out except some padding on the ground and the glow from a very small open in the tent
She saw many shadows pass by panicked realizing the situation she was in she pulled against her bindings in a fruitless endeavor
Pain shot through her shoulder from the stake stabbed there, preventing the elements come to her call, tears began to well up in her eyes
' how did this happen.' She recalled her recently memory but it didn't explain much
She was suddenly blinded momentarily when the entrance of the tent " you're awake good this will make it a little easier." A tall human man walked in recognizing it as the voice that was giving orders
She tried her best shift away from him but it was pointless
" who are you? why did you take me." Asked a question as soon as her mouth was free from the gag placed on her
" shh...I removed the gag only for one thing." The man lowered the clothes covering his bottom half revealing what was sitting between his legs
" and no teeth or you'll regret it." His member moved towards her face as she desperately tried scrambling back pressing herself against the back of the tent desperately pulling at it yo lift but it didn't budge
" do you need a little warm up." Not focusing on the rest of her body she felt a hand snake it's way between her legs touching her most sensitive causing a gasp and pained groan to escape her
She felt herself get forcefully invaded by two warm appendages frantically moving around
Feeling liquid flow down his fingers to hus wrist he smirked " you are already wet huh well lets skip to the best part then." When he removed his fingers from inside her he noticed they were dripping red
" please don't." Her tears flowed like a river as she begged him but it on excited him more
Bringing up his fingers to his mouth he licked the blood off with glee " you're still fresh this is going to be better then I expected. " She kicked at him seeing her pleading go unfounded but he easily caught it using it as leverage to spread her open
Before he could get anywhere however a pulse ripped through the camp harmless but still strong enough to kick up a bit of the tent
" what was that?" The man shot up looking back, alaine after getting began to feel her mana be forcibly charged in her body to the point she began to glow like a sun forcing the man to shield his eyes
Leaving her body the light spread straight into the sky stretching as far as it was allowed to go illuminating everything and blinding everyone there
" bitch what did you do." The man slammed her into the ground gripping her neck
" i didn't do anything it wasn't me." Her face was still a mess as she desperately answered him her voice slightly cracking
" damn it." Quickly fixing himself he stood back up heading towards the tents entrance
" everyone get ready we have enemies incoming they have a way to track her!....this just got more frustrating." After barking orders that echoed across the night he came back to alaine, at this point the light had subsided
" get up your coming with me." He walked over Forcing her to her feet
struggling a little alaine let out a hiss of pain blood now dripping down her leg while the moved with hurried steps to get out of the tent
The sound rushing footsteps met their ears as soon as they left the confines of the tent
" we are ready they won't be able to get anywhere near us." Or so his underling though as the next moment the sky was illuminated once again instead this time by a soft light that was following a screech in a instant the canopy covering their camp was set ablaze with beautiful flames
***
A screech resonated throughout the dark expanse of the forest before I t was chased away by icarus's beautiful glow
' icarus is on them surround the camp dont let any escape and keep your eyes open for lady alaine!' Following James's order the dragons spread out around the camp leaving no room for escape
Below the soldiers dressed in all black zoomed across the forest floor not as fast as the people in the sky but not far behind either moving around towards the flanks
" they have Ariel cannons were have to land." Lazza voice came in just in time as a few moments later loud booms echoed
Large sharp projectiles came flying at the icarus and the dragons while mostly harmless for both they could say the same for the soldiers on their back force a landing
Moving to the ground the dragons fanned both sets of wings out creating cover for those on their back to get off
The first soldier was shot at by something that could spew bullets rapidly the second they left the wings but they had their shield already up starting a formation
Rushing out three others with shields followed his lead linking their shields together, the rest of squad moved behind them
" cannons!." Hearing this the dragon transformed back into a humanoid form getting behind the shields as well
While the sharp projectiles may not do much damage a cannon ball would
At the four othe fronts the situation was the same " we need to deal with the guns and cannon." Selena voice came in just as a cannon went off firing a ball into the shields which held but forced their bearers to take a step back
" just hold a little longer then they will arrive and we go on the attack."just as James finished that response a low humming steadily grew louder coming from behind all the squads
" shot the gunners now." Following the command the rangers stuck a small portion of their rifle barrels through the energy shield aiming for the man cranking the weapon that was rapidly shooting at them and fired
A hole appeared in the man's head as he slumped over the weapon emplacement. other shots could be barley heard across the forest as the rapid firing stopped
" we will deal with the cannons and cause cahos you guys move in." Jonah and another came zooming by on a hoverboard carrying a large blade in the shape of a katana
Swinging his weapon a blade of energy flew from it towards the cannon cut it and those beyond in half
On the other side of the camp a person zoomed in using the front of their board to block some shots fired at them they flanked the cannon and shot at the operators killing them
With the cannons down the shield bearers moved in, the rangers and commanders behind taking shots at those in their sights
Inside the camp the ones on hoverboard disrupted the enemies defensive formation making it easier for those taking shots to take them down
Fights slowly started to break out once the soldiers breached the perimeter encompassing the whole camp which couldn't have held more then a hundred people but it was still enough to put up a good fight
The engagements didn't last long most Fights ended quickly due to the soldiers superior equipment say for a few elementals among the camp
With things settling down everyone gathered at the center of the camp among the bodies and few captives
" haven't seen lady alaine what about you all." They shook their head to lazza's question but Selena eventually pointed to a large tent
" im getting faint traces of her scent from inside there i believe." With hurried footsteps the commanders entered the tent after making sure no enemies were inside
They didn't find anyone inside but the did find occasional drops of blood that led to a rug flipping it over they found a hole that lead to a tunnel
***
" damnit they found me faster than I thought." The leader of the group had escaped into the ground having made a back up plan
Placing his hand on the the wall of the tunnel he created, a unknown force surged swallowing the soil and roots continuing the tunnel forward
" come on." The man yanked on a rope connected to a bound alaine forcing her to move forward
After taking a few steps to continue the man noticed movement on the ground Rolling towards him. It was a small ball with a little happy cat face on it complete with little makeshift ears and a tail
" what?" While he was confused how this thing got here a loud cats meow echoed throughout the tunnel followed by a blinding white flash of light
When his ear stopped ringing and his vision returned he found himself face first in the dirt unable to move
