The Rays of their torch lights flickered towards Zaya.
"Hold it right there phantom paw!"
The one who led the group of police men barked as he pointed his gun towards her.
Pauline smiled in the truck's corner knowing the police men were toast, they walked closer towards were she stood.
Zaya didn't flinch.
She'd wanted this for a while, a real face off.
Even if they were just police men, it was worth the thrill.
The closest police man shot towards Zaya ,Zaya sword made a whirring sword as she pierced through the bullet.
The other police men joined in firing bullets continuously.
Zaya parried the bullets furiously her eyes darting in all directions as multiple clanks could be heard.
She jumped up towards the sky,
dodging the hail of bullets as she landed on one of the black cars giving one of the police men a kick on his head with her right leg.
She twisted sideways giving another with her left.
She slid down from the car and went into hand to hand combat with three police men at once, she dodged all their punches and deflected all their moves.
Hitting them hard on their neck and sending them into a deep sleep, Zaya raged as she roared terrifying the rest, who escaped from the scene.
The captain stood still dropping his gun and bringing out a knife, Zaya then spoke I'll give you points for trying.
Standing a few meters from were the police man stood Zaya thought of something she'd seen Edeth done before.
She swerved her sword to the right with all the strength she could garner.
But nothing happened Zaya sighed as she said your turn Pauline,
Pauline then came out of the truck where they'd kept her.
Her hands held together with cuffs,
The police Man dashed towards Pauline aiming to cut her with his knife.
A few inches from attacking her the knife melted, the captain stood stunned as the melted knife vanished into the night.
"w-what are you?"
The captain startled
You know Zaya, said Pauline it would be really cool if you'd given each of us a name.
It's not fair that it's only you.
Call me phantom paw we are under cover remember?
Well am sorry, Zaya I won't do that again.
Pauline said chuckling.
So what should we do with this man? Zaya asked.
Pauline then gazed back to the captain, the captain froze she gave him a swift kick in the abdomen which sent him flying in the air, his gun clattering on the ground.
Pauline walked towards Zaya as she broke the hand cuffs in her hands effortlessly.
There was something you tried there Zaya, you tried to cut the captain without touching him just like Edeth.
Silence grew between them almost turning awkward, Zaya hadn't told the others about how, she's the reincarnate of Edeth, but her instinct always told her that Pauline already knew, though still she doubted.
The real question was why hasn't Pauline asked.
Was she hiding something or was Pauline disappointed that Zaya had not told them.
"Ready to go" Pauline said breaking the awkward silence between them.
Pauline then opened a white blazing portal,
you could have taken them you know, why'd you let me do it instead.
Zaya asked as they entered the portal.
It's fun to watch you fight. Pauline responded
---------
Sudents like Zaya were originally in middle school before the marine war had started.
After the war was over they all returned to the classes they formerly were, absolutely ignoring the amount of time they've missed class.
Soon after, the method was changed by the phantom city's mayor, allowing students to attend classes in the exact ages they are supposed to be.
Zaya turned around the bed frequently as she was deep in thought, trying her very best to some how link up all the problems she had.
A smile swept across Zaya's face as she'd finally pictured some sort of plan in her head, Am coming for you viper viking she said going to sleep.
There was a loud car horn coming from outside the window, Zaya's eyes opened as she stared upwards towards the ceiling, she then hocked herself up sitting on the bed.
She stood there talking towards the window as she dragged the curtains to the right peaking through it.
She was late.
No, no, no how could this be happening she said, she was late for her own graduation!
The others, were already waiting for her in the car outside.
Zaya hurried as she entered the bathroom already taking a bath coming out and also dressing up.
The others had come out of the car wondering what was going on inside.
Pauline tapped the door bell, answering it was Naya.
Hey girls Naya said as she let them in, Zaya woke up a little bit late so you'd have to wait for her a bit.
That would not be necessary Zaya said appeared in their midst her mouth filled with an eggo I am ready to go she said, tucking her bag properly behind her, good bye mum, also don't be late!
The sun blazed in the sky,
sitting at the front of a huge platform were the 'about to be' graduates of the phantom high school.
They all sat on chairs spread across the sport field while the school principal was giving them a send off speech.
Zaya's eyes spotted an empty chair amongst them, it was Pauline's, Guys any idea well Pauline is?
Zaya asked they all shook their head, shewa just here ten minutes ago said Zoey.
Anither ten minutes passed and still Pauline hadn't arrived, something strange is going on June said, wu isn't she here yet.
She's going to miss the graduation toss, I'll go check Zaya said as she stood.
A mist suddenly covered the whole area, Every one was startled, what's going on?
Natasha asked.
Pauline appeared in their midst her eyes glowing in contrast to the midst, she fell on the ground at their front.
Pauline are you alright?
Zaya asked.
No Pauline said the jade realm as fallen!
