Chapter 202: V

Even with V's eyes being entirely covered by the green streaks of lightning that were emerging from every pore in her body, they were still able to see the sudden clearing of the skies; Los Angeles, finally once again being greeted by the stars and the moon.

Of course, V also saw the reason for this– Aerith's body suddenly and instantly compressed into a ball, and that ball of meat, bones, and blood was probably already somewhere floating aimlessly in space, frozen by its deadly chill.

…If Riley could have done that from the start… why didn't he just do it? If he had the ability to actually neutralize, or as he did, to completely throw the enemy away from the planet with just a single flick of his finger… why didn't he? Everyone was doing their best to get out of this situation and to save as many lives as possible… so why did he only do that now?
