CREWSADERS - THE NOVELIZATION OF A GAME THAT DOESN'T EXIST

The Capital City

Her frustration had burnt into her voice, distorted as minuscule sparks of fire came from her throat as she spoke, obfuscated by her helmet. "Then why are you trying to run away?"
"Because you won't leave me alone! I know you're angry but right now I don't have time to talk! I gotta stop that giant beast from destroying the city and then-"

Sun Stone had enough of him dancing around her questions. She slammed DJ into the wall of the car and pinned him once more. Muttering the word "Daybreak", she engulfed her hand in flames, her eyes now glowing yellow and red, barley noticeable from her visor.

"I'll ask this one more time," she growled. "What did you do to Moon Talon?"
"I've been telling you, I don't know who he is or what happened to him!" He then seemed to talk to someone else entirely, panicked "Vy, what is she talking about?"

The visor resting on DJ's face began to light up.

"So, you even have your own corrupted type of Angel, "Sun Stone continued staring at the visor, "You must be some kind of wannabe hero that goes around taking people's powers. Well, if you were trying to be original you fell right on your face," she said, suddenly yanking the visor off and breaking it in two over her kneepads.

She seemed disappointed with the result.

DJ exploded in anger. His face was a bright red, contrasting his blue suit "WHY DID YOU DO THAT!?"
Sun Stone was oddly calm in response, going through the motions of her job "Just trying to figure out where your powers come fro-"
"ALRIGHT, IF YOU WANT A FIGHT SO BADLY, YOU'LL GET ONE!"

A burst of blinding blue light filled the car as Sun Stone was kicked through its window and into the streets, getting hit with a kick in the stomach while she tried to regain her eyesight. It didn't help that she was already mostly blind in one eye.

"New Sunrise," she muttered, healing herself from most damages, but DJ kept zipping around to confuse her, hitting her from all sides as the girl parried with her flagpole. He leaped off onto a skyscraper, shooting countless laser beams from his palms at her, yet he was nearly impaled as Sun Stone retaliated by throwing her flag like a javelin, narrowly missing him and stabbing the wall nearby.

It wasn't meant to miss.

They clashed multiple times at full speed, DJ keeping to the air and zipping around like a lightning bolt, and Sun Stone firmly defending on the ground. Her feet barely moved as her flame-covered hands did all of the work. However, DJ was faster and more unpredictable, just like the boy who had fought by her side for so long..

She was used to fighting alongside that style, not against it.

After holding that standstill for long enough, the star-clad man was able to land a weak counter to her parries, then another, then another, then another..
Sun Stone was unable to defend for much longer, now crouching as she tried to endure all of the attacks that seemed to come from everywhere all at once, but she wouldn't go down that easily. Placing one finger on the concrete beneath her knees, she muttered "Solar Flare" and the whole structure of the road was dismantled, letting her escape into the sewer system below.
"Don't think you can run away like that so easily, ESPECIALLY after what you did to Vy!" DJ called after her," I want to know the whole story here. You can't fight forever, so you might as well start talking!" The initial panic in his voice had turned into frustrated exasperation.

More of the ground began to weaken and crumble beneath DJ, forcing him to hop into the newly formed hole after Sun Stone. He slid a little as he landed and quickly tried to regain his footwork...only to be tackled to the ground by her once again. She placed her knee over his arm, which had now been bent behind his back.

"I'm the one asking questions here, and this time I'll break your arm like a twig if you don't answer me," the girl spat. "Where is your Akuma?"
DJ responded tiredly with the same deal once again, "My what?"
"The butterfly that gave you powers to begin with. The same thing that let you steal Moon Talon's-"
"I didn't steal ANYONE'S powers! You're wrong!" He yelled, a spark transferred from his hand to her fingers. As Sun Stone tried to snap his arm, she realized she was unable to move. He had paralyzed her.
"Damn it!"
DJ zipped from her grasp again and proclaimed, "Sorry, if you're only gonna fight I can't keep letting you distract me! This city needs my help!"
