Into The Fire

[Nox]

Nox's ears were still ringing but Ivan listened and did change tactics. The little disks were interesting and they'd work against the creatures they were going to hunt. "Those wouldn't have worked against an Oni though. Their skin is really tough, bullets bounce off them. I've never seen one pummeled to death but the head was the right place to go."
Nox nodded towards the Oni that laid on the ground. "But what we are going after are fleshy creatures. They want living flesh. And if they don't kill you you end up like them. Never seen these things before."


"Just make sure you can use them quickly."
Nox had almost forgotten the handful of the warehouse he'd picked up and stuffed in his pockets. He wished for his little vials but now they were all gone. He sighed.

"No. It has a limit. You will tire out even faster than physically exerting yourself. So your boxing stuff you'd probably tire out three times faster."
Nox picked up a pile of rocks from the floor of the tunnel. "It takes a little practice but to make it last a little longer I used to carry small projectile objects."
Nox let the handful float in the air and he flung them down the tunnel with weaves of air. He heard them pepper across the walls. "I had all sorts of little toys."
But they went up in the warehouse.

Nox grinned. "You might want to make sure your gun is handy too. I've not actually done with without Aria before."
Nox hoped that they didn't get swarmed.

They headed down the tunnel passage way again. Nox disliked looking down at his wallet every tunnel they passed so he knew where he was going. It was all thankfully charted territory. His head still was ringing, and it hurt to breathe, but the more he walked the less he actually felt. Feeling numb was probably not a good thing.

The shadows started to move in front of them. Nox made the universal motion for stop. TV had it's uses, everyone knew the signals even those not trained by any military or police force. Nox whispered. "Get ready.


Nox drew fire up around his hand and sent a fireball down the middle of the tunnel. As it flickered down the tunnel the walls turned from stone to flesh. A mass of bizarre creatures turned their eyes their direction and in the next second a mass of them were running at them.
