Midnight Angels: The War

Chapter 51

'The Dark Corner'

"Tired already?" Tanong ni Lesis kina Archer na hinahangos na. The field was already disoriented because of the full force battle between the two groups. Mahinang natawa si Archer at tinago ang pakpak niya.

Atlas, who was already in his wolf form, growled at the Hunters.

"DinDin, stay at the back. You know what to do." Utos ni Ash sa kanya at tumango naman si Audin tsaka nagpalit ng anyo. He transformed into his adult form and stood back. It's been a while since the team saw this form of his kaya sandali silang naninibago.

The ladies screamed his name at kumaway naman si Audin sa kanila. Mahinang natawa si Wilder at tsaka tiningnan sina Wesy.

Wesy flicked his tongue and raised his hand, making rocks float around the place at tsaka ito umatake kina Audin. Archer immediately let out his wings and became the team's source of defense. And while Wesy is distracted by the shield, Atlas was already running towards Lesis.

Agad niya itong tinangay at nung tutulong na sana si Lezo at bigla rin siyang binugahan ni Ash ng apoy kaya napaatras siya.

Lesis immediately took out a dagger and was about to hit Ash when his hand was stopped by someone. Nagtaka pa si Lesis kaya nung tumingin siya kay Zia ay nakita niyang nag-iwas ito ng tingin sa kanya.

"Hey! We're assessing here, alright? Don't help them!" Sigaw niya pero parang walang narinig si Zia at ngumiti pa kay Blu.

"You won't be able to help them in a real battle, Zia. Isipin mo 'yan." Paalala ni Wesy sa kanya. Zia just looked at them and suddenly, all their daggers and knives where being pulled away at tsaka ito naglanding sa harap ni Zia.

"New rule, no poison. We can't kill them before the war." Zia said in a flat tone at dun lang din naalala ni Lucas na may Hunters' poison pala ang mga sandata nito. "Ahh, shit. I forgot. I almost killed ya, bro." Pasimpleng sabi ni Lesis kay Atlas.

Atlas just shook his head and attacked him again. Lesis was fighting Atlas well, not until his hair got stuck on Atlas' teeth. Atlas took it as an opportunity and bit his hair instead. Lesis immediately grabbed Atlas' wolf hair too and pulled on it.

Napangiwi nalang sina Wilder na nakatingin sa kanila.

"Parang nagsasabunutan na 'yung dalawa dun oh." Natatawang sabi ni Wilder at tumawa naman sina Reed nung marinig nila ang palahaw ni Lesis.

"Lezo!" Sigaw ni Lesis at sandaling kumunot ang noo ni Ash nung makita niyang biglang nawala si Lezo sa harap niya. Tumalon na pala ito papunta kay Lesis at tsaka sinipa si Atlas kaya tumilapon ito at dumamba sa barrier.

"Sorry, Atlas. This bastard just loves his hair so much. Don't want you messing it up." Natatawang sabi ni Lezo at ginulo ang buhok ni Lesis. "I told you to cut it." Huli niyang sabi at tsaka sinugod si Ash.

Atlas slowly stood up and spat out from hair that got stuck on his teeth.

"You freaking use strawberry shampoo? Are you a girl?" Natatawang tanong ni Atlas kay Lesis.

"Correction, he's gay." Singit ni Wesy sa usapan at tsaka dinambahan ang shield ni Archer. Napaubo kaagad si Archer kaya hinawakan ni Audin ang katawan niya para bigyan siya ng lakas at para alisin ang sakit na nararamdaman niya.

"Hey! Anyone can use strawberry shampoo no matter the gender." Seryosong sabi ni Lesis at nagpatuloy sa paglaban kay Atlas. The assessment continued and ended when Zia blew the whistle.
