SAN Arrow

Sheets of ice manifested into wings and armor, on Amir and Sofia.

"Frost: Wardi"

Nur exhaled deeply, as a large amount of vapor, escaped her lips.

She was getting chilly, yet she looked at them with confidence.

"Let's go."

Sofia and Amir nodded back.

"Right!"

Out of nowhere jets of spikes, made out of ice, entwined with millions of volts of electricity, shot past them, missing their targets, since Nur had moved them, into the air, just in time.

They looked off in the direction it came from, noticing Lita race towards them, with lightning speed.

"Aww! The little birdie is all grown up now!"

She yelled at the top of her lungs, as she placed one palm out, super condensing a large sphere of white-hot electricity, within a pressurized ice cage.

"Frozen Revolution!"

The sphere broke, at breakneck speeds, colliding with several walls of ice, Nur had managed to place up while they retreated way from its path.

The fifth and last wall stopped it, causing a pressurized electric explosion, sending ice as shrapnel in all directions.

Nur almost lost focus, from the winds, pushing them away from each other.

Lita laughed out loud, admiring her explosive artwork.

She instinctively turned around to catch an ice arrow, almost sailing into her back, aiming for her core, while dozens more sailed past her, smashing into barriers of ice she manifested.

She looked down, noticing the natives switch formation to take turns firing on her.

Smirking she looked back up, about to give Nur some credit, when she noticed the concoction they were brewing up there.

Nur struggled to hold it all together.

A pressurized swirling sphere of flaming stones, the size of all three of them.

She condensed it once more, before launching it.

"Combo Series: Nova Sphere!"

Lita was shocked and immediately looked for an exit, however, hundreds of arrows surrounded her, stopping in midair and reshaping into a massive hand, grabbing her still.

"Frost: Clutch!"

Nur yelled, gripping her left hand, as blood dripped down from it and holding the other steady, to maintain the shape of their combined attack.

Lita gathered an immense amount of energy, erupting an avalanche of ice, out of herself, aiming to shield herself as well, since it was too late to escape.

"Wrath of Artahn!"

She screeched in despair, as the sphere brought forth a devastating impact, crumbling her barrier with ease and dragging her down below, before erupting and leveling everything around for dozens of kilometers.

Amir perked up throwing his hands in the air.

"We did it! That was insane!"

Sofia smiled with him, but grimaced from the pains of first-degree burns, baring it only with the relief of Nur's armor cooling her down

She floated in front of Nur, wanting to check up on her.

She wondered what was going through Nur's mind, now that the mission was over.

However, Nur was still trembling, slightly, while looking down below with a terrified expression.

Suddenly they heard a wounded scream, from deep down below.

Within the large smoking crater, soldering from the bomb they had unleashed on her, Lita got back up onto one foot, as the other reformed.

Her body was dismembered, still readjusting itself, as she yelled out to them.

"I'm gonna make sure, you feel 10 times the amount of pain!"

It began to rain, as lightning struck Lita several times, while she held it in.

"Lightning's Embrace."

She whispered while covering her hands in ice gauntlets.

Nur formed a stance, bracing for an incoming strike.

"Keep your guard up!"

She yelled as the draft shifted the smoke and dust, blocking their vision of her

The next moment, she disappeared.

Reappearing with a blur of electricity in front of Nur and striking her, with incredible force.

Nur tumbled out of the sky, watching Lita about to strike Amir, but she managed to move him out of the way.

Fluttering his wings to safety.

Lita turned around angrily to Sofia, trying to at the very least, finish her.

Sofia prepared a fireball, in defense, but it dissipated, as Nur moved her around to dodge, incoming electric spikes.

Nur finally regained composure, realizing she could take Lita's strikes.

Luckily the valley was no longer draining her of energy, but she knew, she needed to reactivate it soon.

Lita charged her, giving up on the rookies.

"If I take you out first, they will all fall."

Nur gave her the deadliest stare but chose to focus on Lita's movements.

They traded blow for blow, while Nur continued to heal herself, but each of Lita's strikes, left sweltering hot stings as she burned off her gauntlets and boiled with rage.

'This was the technique Helio used!'

She thought to herself while dodging a strike from her left.

Although she couldn't replicate it, she went out of her way to understand it better, asking Helio and Tobi questions about what it could do, in hopes of one day, unlocking it herself.

It was already getting harder for her to breathe.

On her last strike, she broke the deadlock with a kick in her chest, sending her flying back, with superior martial arts.

She was incredibly talented, picking up several martial arts, under her belt, as a hobby, but she had never imagined using them to kill.

Lita drew her sword, knowing she couldn't beat her in hand-to-hand combat, however, strength was still on her side.

Before she could strike Nur, flaming rocks rained on her from above, blocking her vision.

She gasped feeling a stinging sensation.

Her vision cleared, looking down only to find a deep gaping gash diagonally across her chest and Nur spinning around once more to finish her off, with her daggers covered in ice.

She froze it instantly and began healing herself while moving to counter Nur's strike.

An arm of stones and fire, held back her arm, just ever so slightly, yet distracting her once again, as the stones singed into her skin.

Giving Nur the chance to sever her head off.

Her head and body fell below, as a massive ice shark swallowed them hole, seemingly leaping out of a pool in the barren ground.

"Frost: Tiger Shark."

Ice crept up over her cheek, burning her, as her body started shivering, developing a fever.

Amir and Sofia flew over, worried about Nur's condition.

She looked over at them, with kind eyes.

"Don't worry about me, just keep supporting me. I think time is almost up for her."

What they heard, made them stay still.

A stomach-churning roar, pierced every fiber of their beings, as they felt an immense amount of energy overwhelm them from below.

A massive arm of ice fell from the sky, dragged down by lightning.

Slapping the three of them, out of the sky before they could react.

They crashed down hard, down to the ground.

Nur tried her best to focus all of her control on slowing down the rookies' descent.

Amir and Sofia had already fallen unconscious as soon as the hand struck them.

Nur laid there, suffering from multiple fractures, unable to feel her legs.

She panicked and for a moment, she reverted to her old self, forgetting her situation entirely, while talking herself into depression.

Saphyra, broke her pessimistic train of thought, speaking into her com.

"Nur, the mission isn't over. What would the hero do?"

Watching Tobi in action and especially during the battle for Earth, inspired her to find her stronger, truer self.

One where she wasn't always afraid and could make decisions quickly.

However facing death over and over has brought her closer to the point, where the lines between it being a question and it being reality are much more blurry.

Especially when there were those she still needed to protect.

She started to heal herself after injecting her thigh with a booster.

Grunting from the pain of her bones realigning, she heard footsteps closing in near their landing spot.

"That hurt you know! That was incredibly painful. I don't even want to see you suffer anymore. I just want you dead. Begone from my sight.

Dark clouds rumbled, intensifying the thunder, as massive rays of lightning, dropped like a hammer.

Nur had already begun gathering an umbrella of ice, redirecting the lightning into the ground.

She quickly used ice to propel herself up and reinforce her legs, so that she could walk.

"Frost: Prosthetics."

It was still difficult for her to stand, let alone walk, however, wings appeared behind her back keeping her floating in the air.

The booster had boughten her time, but she still needed to end this as soon as possible.

Lita looked at her, realizing that they were both on their last legs.

"Seriously though, I never expected you to put up this much of a fight."

A term came to mind, that she had heard from either a book or a show, but she smiled regardless.

"Expect, the unexpected."

Then Nur charged at her, pushing her away from the rookies.

"Frost: Ancient Valley."

The valley returned, but this time with more natives, firing arrows at Lita whenever she was alone.

Their fight continued, crashing through buildings, decimating inhabitants, and marking the ancient village unrecognizable.

However, Nur's fatigue was visible, as she started to feel the pain of hunger pangs since she skipped a meal out of anxiety about the mission.

Parts of the buildings began to crumble and some of the Natives stopped moving.

Nur broke away from Lita, being dealt the last blow.

She made some distance, to catch her breath.

Her knees started to buckle, and she started to feel drowsy.

Multiple patches of ice, appeared on her skin, stinging her and turning into blisters, however, she held on, as Amir and Sofia flew overhead, bombing Lita with fireballs.

On their second lap, Lita clipped Sofia's wing with an ice volley, spinning her out of control.

Sofia landed roughly beside Nur, who had just manifested an intricately detailed bow.

"Frost: Leenda."

Sofia looked at the bow with wonder.

"Woah! Let me help!"

She placed out her hands and an arrow of fire formed floating between them.

"Cover it and make it stronger Nur!"

Nur nodded back, about to do what she said, when a voice stopped her.

"Let me help too! Don't count me out yet."

Amir floated towards them, carried by a rock platform he raised, but it was evident he was on his last legs, as his platform plunged several times mid-flight.

An arrow made out of ignitable rocks gathered and rose from deep, below the ground.

Sofia made room for it, opening up her arrow like a casing as it slid in.

Nur could not describe what she was feeling at the moment.

She was glad she wasn't fighting alone.

"We'll end it with this."

She reached out over the burning arrow, holding explosive ingredients within it.

A light sheet of ice formed, perfectly over the arrow, allowing her to grab it and begin drawing.

She watched Lita rise into the sky, creating an immensely large energy ball, struck several times by lightning.

"I'm done with you all. You lot are no fun. This time, I'll make sure dead."

Lita encased her ball of energy within the ice, placing it under incredible pressure and strain.

"Erase it all! Erase everything from my sight!"

She felt a rough gag after yelling at them, warning her that, she'd have to cough up the core at any moment.

She dropped her hand forth, sending off her last attack, aiming to wipe them off the planet.

"World Revolution!"

Nur faced down, the incoming destruction, with no fear, drawing the arrow, to the furthest she could pull it back.

She poured the last of her energy, betting all their lives on one arrow.

She took a deep breath and released the arrow, adding more velocity by pushing by mentally moving the ice arrow forward.

"Combo Series: SAN Arrow!"

She ignited the back end of the arrow, by crushing together the fire and rocks, and her comrades manifested for her, boosting the arrow faster than the eye could see.

Ripping through Lita's attack with ease and colliding with her, with bone-shattering impact, Nur ignited the rest of the arrow.

Engulfing Lita in a dense ball of fire destroying all traces of her.

The Novas were in shock, unbelieving that they had won.

Then one by one, each of them fell back, suffering from their side effects.
