A ray of psychic powers, so concentrated, that it was able to cut anything in its way, got my weapon and almost my neck, but I managed to evacuate with a shadow walk. Then I had to run, as the High Queen's fury went after . She began trashing everything in front of her, as she chased .
I didn't notice it back then, but I was able to scratch her cheek a bit with my attack, which made her absolutely nuts.
It would probably end badly if not for a sudden Druoag's entrance. Speeding like a bullet, he leaped off the ground and ramd into her, sending her bubble away. She hit the ground, and bounced off, but was then able to catch herself inside the protective sphere.
Then ground under her split, and both halves, massive blocks of stone, slamd together, then crumbled around her, creating a ball of crushed rock, surrounding her like a prison.
It was The Great One's attack. He seed to trap her inside, but only for a brief amount of ti, so the two of us could retreat. She then broke off, sending the shards in each direction with a speed that would put hypersonic missiles to sha.
She scread while doing it, and for the first ti, we not only heard that in our minds, but also with our ears. What followed after, was the creation of another destructive sphere, which originated from her protective bubble and began expanding, destroying the planet's outer shell even more. It was very loud, deafening even.
We retreated as fast as possible. Druoag caught The Great One and did his best to get as far as possible.
- She is too strong! - I admitted, yelling because of all the noise.
With our speed, if not for our psionic friend and his abilities, we wouldn't be able to speak normally, but he made us able to do it, by controlling the pressure of the air around us, which was also making us faster, because we didn't have as much resistance.
- She is getting weaker. It's just emotions that are making her so powerful - said Druoag.
- I wouldn't be so sure - said The Great One. - Her powers are different from mine. Maybe the rage is fueling them even more.
- Peter managed to wound her - Druoag pointed out. - That's a sign of her getting weaker. We should keep pushing. Next ti we might be able to finally get her.
- Well, we have no other choice anyway - I pointed out.
They both nodded, and we landed, a few a couple of hundred miles from the epicenter of the catastrophe. The distance made the wave weaker, and The Great One stopped it as he extended his hands.
- I'll pierce through, you attack from flanks - he instructed us.
Without a word, we rushed to opposite sides, just like he wanted us to. With the short distance between us, I was able to feel the trendous telekinetic powers the alien psychic was gathering. Then, from a corner of my eye, I noticed as he extended his hand, and sent a beam, which popped the bubble.
At that mont I accelerated rapidly, breaching the barrier of sound, which produced a loud noise. It was the only one my ears caught, because of the speed I was running with, which made the two other ones, created by my companions, unable to get to fast enough.
Positioned at the correct angle, I charged forward, hopefully heading straight at the High Queen. I had a little room to maneuver myself, but not too much. I soon gained a vision of her and changed the path a little bit. From the opposite side, Druoag was also charging, and we reached her more or less at the sa mont. Both of us punched the shimring sphere around Ixa.
The impact was trendous. I could visibly see the condensed airwaves that were born from our fists colliding with the bubble at the sa ti. They cut the ground. The barrier, though, survived, and in a split second Ixa unleashed her anger at us, blasting us away.
I lost the kinetic energy of her shove by shadow walking to the side and imdiately attacked again. Druoag, unfortunately, lacked such an ability and got sent flying, like a ragdoll.
I knew that my attack won't work if I was just gonna repeat the sa thing I tried before, so I used a little trick. The punch seed to be direct, but at the very last mont, I created a path for my hand and attacked from the opposite side. A little portal through The Void.
I actually managed to pierce through the bubble. Inside it, the psychic powers were so strong, so concentrated, that the whole power pushing my hand, despite being trendous, was vanishing quickly. I almost reached her but got stopped maybe an inch from her body. I reacted by opening my hand, so I could grab her, but she stopped .
Our eyes t briefly. I noticed the fury hidden behind hers. She was clearly pushed further than she expected and was now fighting for her life.
I didn't know if it was the strength of our attacks, that caught her off-guard, and pushed her to this state, or maybe it was the scratch I managed to inflict on her, but the result was clear. There would either be one, or three corpses after everything would conclude.
She had to realize that her previous attack was almost aningless because she changed her approach. She suppressed my movent, catching in a trap, but my body was very powerful, and such a thing required her to use a lot of her force. At the sa ti, she tried to penetrate my mind, but as soon as she attempted that, a loud scream of pain left her mouth, and the strong hold on disappeared.
That was enough for . I shadow walked away, and then rushed forward to get so distance between us.
I couldn't be the sole target of her anger, because that was too much for to handle, so I needed sobody, at that mont, to take the baton from , and make her busy, so I would be able to regroup.
I also dumped a heal into myself, as the struggle made tear a few muscles, that's how badly I tried to free myself.
