When Aero appeared, she just wanted to run away. But even Alita was scared. She touched the scar on her neck and mumbled "Aero....why her?" She bit back her fear and shouted to them, "Go! Take those two with you to the shop! I'll buy you time!"
"That's right! Run, human swine! The Jaegers will get you, just like what they did with the rest of your lot!" replied Aero. Her witchy cackle made Iyana's legs tremble. She touched her Swiss Army knife on the back side of her elbow. Even that felt useless.
"Just go!"
Since she couldn't carry anyone, she grabbed Misaki's hand, since she was carrying one of the unconscious bodies, and ran with it to speed her up. She could hear the fighting from behind as Alita clashed with Aero. As much as she hoped that Alita would win, she could only buy them time. Iyana bit hr lips and tried not to cry.
Why am I crying? she asked herself. She wasn't close to me.
But she sacrificed herself for all of you. You have to survive. she answered herself.
She saw the sign of Twelve Kirin Cafe appear. Soon, they were outside. They pushed open the double doors and crashed on the cafe seats.
While the rest of them were parching up, she felt the urge to check the cellphone in the body bag again. She opened it, and there was a new note:
He and his army are awakening again..
She pushed her cellphone into her body bag again and decided to show it to everyone later. Meanwhile, she waited for the two newcomers to regain consciousness while silently crying for their loss.
(She's too sensitive, ne?~~~~~)
