"So, what crazy plan do you have for this thing?" Alara asked.
Studying the bat that was flying just 20 feet away, Lukas found that he didn't have an immediate answer.
Because he had been asleep, Lukas never saw the beast's initial attack. Still, he knew it was able to outmaneuver his soldiers.
Now that both the Spigon and 7 of his soldiers were gone, was there anything they could really do? None of the footsoldiers were going to be of use here, as they already had their own tasks.
It was just Alara and him facing against a giant bat of destruction.
"Well?" Alara prodded.
Shaking his head, Lukas admitted, "I don't know."
Alara slapped her forehead with her sword hand before saying, "Fine. But figure it out before we die, please?"
Then she readied her stance, somehow replicating it perfectly even while floating in midair. She was so focused that she barely heard Lukas whisper, "Sorry."
"What?"
"Sorry," Lukas continued. "I'm sorry that I'm so useless."
