1 Code T gives Lung a blast

I do not own Worm or Azur Lane.

Everyday, since I got my powers I had like someone or something was watching me, I was worried, I thought I was safe at home due to the unwritten rules. After another pisspoor day at Winslow with Sophia Hess, Emma Barnes ,and Madison Clement bullying me and destroying my possessions. I had decided tonight I was going to be a hero. To go out for the first time. I thought I would be safe after all what was the chance that I would encounter a major villain.

Lung had his back turned to me, so I lifted myself up, slowly. Crouching, I backed up to retreat to the fire escape, watching Lung carefully as I set foot on the gravel of the roof. A bloodcurdling roar filled the air, more dragon then human than the outcry he had made earlier, and I felt a kind of resignation. Enhanced hearing. F***. The powers the dragon got from his transformation included superhuman hearing. Lung leap from the sidewalk to the second floor of a building on the far side of the street. He didn't make it all the way to the roof, but he came to a point maybe three quarters of the way up. I wasn't sure just how Lung kept from falling, but I could only guess that he just buried his fingertips into the building's exterior.

I heard scraping and crunching as he ascended, and looked to my escape route. I knew that my ability to get down the fire escape was in vain before Lung came over the top of the roof and deduced where I'd run off to and at that point he would intercept me and kill me. Lung hauled himself up. He looked like he was made of overlapping scales, smouldering red-hot. He was easily eight feet tall, I swore under my breath and fumbled with the pepper spray. While he brought his leg over the edge, I shot him in the face. The ignited spray rolled off of him, but the contents still did the trick. He screamed, letting go of the roof with one hand, clutching the side of his face. It had been vain to hope that he would slip and fall. I just counted myself lucky that however metallic his face looked, there were still parts of it vulnerable to the spray. Lung hauled himself over the edge of the roof.

I had him hurting… I just couldn't do anything about it. My bugs were officially useless, there was nothing left in my utility sheath, and I would hurt myself more than I hurt Lung if I attacked him. Making a mental note to pick myself up a concealable knife or baton if I managed to live through this, I bolted for the fire escape. "Motherf***er!" Lung screamed. With my back turned, there was no way to see it, but the roof was briefly illuminated before the wave of flame hit me from behind. Knocked off balance, I skidded on the gravel and hit the raised lip of the roof, just by the fire escape. Frantically, I patted myself down.

My costume wasn't on fire, but my hair – I hurriedly ran my hands over it to make sure it hadn't been ignited. Lung stood on the roof and chuckled and his arm ready to me on fire… then a large boom and a loud whistling sound and Lung's legs simply exploded into pieces dropping him on his face. I look to my left slightly deaf from the report. I see a dark hair masked woman wearing a white suit with a short skirt walking up to me. Her left hand holds a sheathed katana.

The strangest thing was on either side of her were these five turrets each with 2 barrels in them, one which was smoking. She stopped and looked at me. I had the sense that was looking at me with disappointment. I asked her whether she was a hero or villain. She said that she was neither, "just Ember, born from an exhausted flame". She then turned her attention to Lung whose legs were slowly regenerating and said "Swift death unto evil" and one of her turret guns fired in a burst of fire and smoke and the top half of Lung and a large section of the roof disappeared. The pieces of the roof and human bits fell down on us. My stomach started to heave and felt like I had to throw up. My saviour, this woman just mercilessly blew him up. He was planning to kill kids and me, but on the PHO it was against the unwritten rules to kill without a kill order. I felt her grab my arm with superhuman strength and said "come with me now girl".
