95. Cavalry

You let out a dry sarcastic laugh as you slowly made yourself comfortable. The hover-bike's seat squeaked against your ass. "Guess I didn't think this through, huh?"

With a strong tug of the levers, your hover-bike spun around. You dashed across the air and flinched when you felt the bullets zip by. God, thank goodness these Helians were all somehow horrible aimers.

You glanced down and gasped at the chaos all over Seoul. Dark smoke rose from the crashed cars littered across the streets. Nearly all the buildings had shattered windows thus leading to a field of glass shards below. Civilians screamed in panic as they ran.

Even from way high up, you could see the seemingly tidal wave of army clash with the team. Pillars of flames erupted from Yoongi, who looked like a tiny ball of fire from high up. Holly was flying around as well whilst leaving a trail of blood.

The rest were gathered in a circle and you noticed that were surrounded by the Helian army. You squinted your eyes and saw archers in the buildings and other hover-bikes hovering above. There was something else— they weren't complete.

Just when you were about to realize who was missing, you felt a sharp pain on your shoulder. Feeling the blood flowing down your arm, you mentally scolded yourself for not creating a forcefield for the sake of extra protection.

You slammed your fist on the control panel with gritted teeth. The hover-bike spun again and faced the riders tailing you from behind. Taehyung's words were embroidered into the curves of your brain— Feel, don't think.

Arms crossed over your chest, a purple forcefield formed in front of you. Wobbling a bit, you gently balanced yourself on the seats and stood up. Your foot pressed something and suddenly the hover-bike was moving backwards.

You were still facing the army and kept the forcefield up. Bullets deflected, some even hitting some unfortunate Helian riders. The wind shot back from behind you, which made your silver hair flutter.

The sudden beeping from the control panel made you turn around. Your eyes widened when you realized that your hover-bike was heading straight towards a Helian warship. The riders were still chasing you as well.

"God," You whispered to yourself and swallowed dryly. "I hope this works."

You gulped loudly and bent your knees. With a low grunt, you jumped high in the air and over the Helian warship.

It was like everything went in slow motion at that moment. You could perfectly see your hover-bike collide with the Helian warship, along with some of the riders that were chasing you. Flames erupted from the collision. The heat was licking the surface of your skin.

You flipped in the air and felt the force of the explosion hit your back. It felt like de ja vu as you crashed into yet another hover-bike, this time landing on a Helian rider's back.

The Helian screamed something in Vredeian and it was too quick for you to decipher. He spun the hover-bike and you desperately latched onto his back. You shut your eyes tight and felt your legs dangle in the air.

Despite of it all, you somehow caught sight of the Helian warship you just dodged. Arches were lined up on the deck, the arrows all pointed towards you. With gritted teeth, you pushed your body forward and curled behind the rider.

The Helian rider's body convulsed as the arrows pierced into his body, the hover-bike going into a full stop. Once it turned quiet, you pushed the body away and tightly gripped the hover-bike's handles.

Now you were surrounded. You could see the Helian riders encircle you with all their guns pointed. Cracking your knuckles, you prepared yourself when you noticed something from up ahead.
