Star Soldier Episode Three

Ami is thrust into the final battle for her planet.

Central Command is in ruins, and there’s only one force that can help her now – the resistance. When they take her back to their home compound, she realizes the war she’s fought blood and tooth for has been a lie. There’s always been a way to end the battle with the rift monsters – and that way is her.

Ami Ming

I don’t have the time to stand there, shaking as my world crumbles. I don’t have the time to appreciate how dire the situation is. That not only am I facing two level VII monsters, but they have managed to make their way through the most secure levels of Gordana to the Central Command building.

I don’t have any time full stop.

Because they attack, sweeping toward me in a coordinated move.

My life is whittled down to a point.

But though I’m in no state to protect myself, that doesn’t matter. Xin kicks into gear. With those 12 ribbon-like swords spinning around her, she plunges forward. She also makes a sound. Possibly the first time she’s made an utterance. A great bellowing, pitching cry breaks from her mouth, shaking the very walls of the facility and sending a pulsing blast down the street. I’m forced to bring up an arm and try to hide behind it as my hair is blasted around my face and neck.

I’m aware of the pitching, blaring alarms. They’re so insistent that it sounds as if they’ll tear down the very walls.

But though the alarms blare with their warning, no help comes.

I don’t have the time to wonder what the General is doing. Whether he’s shaking in his boots, or whether he’s clutched up a gun and has shoved it against his temple, realizing this is his last stand.

Xin plunges forward into the fray.

Though there’s still a lot for me to learn about how the light sentinel works, there are a few facts I know back from the days when I was a simple grunt. Light sentinels can only afford to get a certain distance away from their paired. Get too far away, and the connection might break, and the light sentinel will disappear.

If that happens right now, I’m screwed. Or at least, even more screwed than this terrifying situation dictates. Because at the back of my mind I realize that even with Xin’s incredible power, there’s no way we’re going to get through this.

I keep my arm raised above my head, keep sheltering behind it as the wind continues to whip around my face, moving so hard, it’s a surprise it doesn’t cut the skin.

The two level VII monsters concentrate on Xin, because she won’t let them ignore her.

That being said, I know in my heart of hearts that they’re after me. The way they look at me when they can afford to pull their gazes off Xin is unmistakable.

It… bores a hole into my heart. It makes it feel as if a parasite is trying to wend its way into my brain and rip the damn thing out.
