"I'll give them support" Raphael asserts.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw1iM7D0kE
Clara stares at me and at the same time replies,
"not alone".
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRudguG1ZRF

458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtz49imRfS
"Take some of us with you" Andre says.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrKlnCWdVR
In his friends' eyes, Raphael can discern their determination, even if not all of them vocalize their thoughts. However, he knows he can't risk endangering anyone, the preparations and effort to escape the base were too great to let even one more person get in danger.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡungRbLilGO
"There's not much time, I'll go alone, you know how strong I am, my essence power is at level 7.3 there's no way I'll fail" Raphael says knowing his chances of success are high, higher than any of his friends.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNNTYpVtUs
"You know it will not be easy even for you, you're strong no doubt about it but we got the easy way with our group and you know it, we only needed to incapacitate some guards without letting them alert anybody, sadly we could not anticipate that they had an ability user of sound waves that triggered the alarm." Benjamin says dejected.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfq2EQ1Oak7
The rest of the group looks dejected. Clara looks between Raphael and Benjamin with apprehension.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcxuUCuZT4
"Take me with you an..." Benjamin tries to say but is cut short.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzwn4RUQP4
"No" Raphael says cutting him off.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmFldX0njd
"Don't look at me like that, you know I'll not be alone, Aria, Neil and the group are there to cover me too if necessary."
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdLcJp7IXK
Benjamin looks at Raphael with uncertainty.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqkJvoWOlH
"Just... be careful, we'll return home together" Benjamin.

Raphael nods and begins activating his ability, causing the air to distort around him. In a matter of seconds, he teleports to where Aria and the group are, not exactly next to them, but close enough to see them engaging the corporation in combat.

Everyone is contributing to the attack but there's not enough power to break their formation.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yqQvI30TN

"Raphael, came to help us" Liam shouts to the group.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gkq2IzIgv
As Raphael materializes amidst the battle, the group's attention swiftly gravitates towards him. Aria's telekinetic assault momentarily halts, her eyes widening in surprise before a flicker of hope ignites within them. Neil's barrier wavers under the corporation's relentless assault, and he turns his gaze towards Raphael, a mixture of relief and determination etched across his face.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotCHFKXSBX
Malik, pauses his healing efforts, acknowledging Raphael's presence with a nod. The rest of the group, though wearied from the ongoing battle, straightens their posture, renewed vigor coursing through their veins at the sight of his arrival.

458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdqO4XS9KV
"Aria give me support, Neil you'll take the group with you past the corporation, just focus on defending."
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpi0E3XeJl
David one of the instructors stares at Raphael with eyes that seem to blame him for everything that happened. "You're not escaping from here, we should have known something was wrong but how could we know that violet eye would be the reason all of our plans would be ruined."
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQCdqdsQfI
"Talk all you want, that's the only thing you'll be able to do from now on." Raphael says his eyes glowing brighter.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWenQKU7GhR
"Letting the anger get the best of you, I'm disappointed." David says with a smile.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjo0GtGoxg
As tension thickened in the air, Raphael squared his shoulders, meeting David's accusing gaze with disdain.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwKtLkgSRL
"Save your lectures for later, David. Right now, I have a battle to win and you one to lose." Raphael responds.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsKVscdOE3

"Don't forget that I'm also here" says the other instructor before hurling sharp metal shards against Raphael who stopped them with his barrier.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFzn6q7vQV
"Of course I didn't forget about you, Instructor Erick."
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMlRyactfk
David "You thought you could escape? Think again."
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCl437cfMy

"Ha." Escaped Raphael's mouth.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1twHSZfmaE
"Already tir..."
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9EyDxPJI4
Before they had the time to respond, dizziness came over them with the disappearance of the oxygen, followed by a telekinetic attack pinning them to the ground the best it could.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzyDAix4hr
Both the instructors started doing their best to break free, but Raphael didn't give them the time starting by reinforcing his senses and body with his aura, before they could stand up he kicked Erick in the head with enough force to kill a level 6 essence user instantaneously,making him convulse on the ground.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZwiFESluU
"Fuck you" David shouted, right after Raphael kicked Erick, sadly he got up before he could do the same to him.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKib7Twv83
"Now that it's you and me alone, you lost your chances at winning." Raphael says while trapping him in a barrier and taking the oxygen out.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzvlx4h8V0
"Two levels 7 reduced to nothing" Raphael says disdainfully.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrtB3HFZS3
“There was a time you seemed unreachable.”
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiAKqCaCBM
David struggles, hitting the barrier with punches and his wind ability while cursing, but his struggle does not matter, as in no time he falls to the ground passed out.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vn70YIvJS
Raphael's chest heaving strongly to catch his breath, the strain of channeling his essence power to teleport, raising barriers,using telekinesis and manipulating the oxygen taking their toll on his body. Sweat dripped down his brow as he surveyed the battlefield, his senses heightened as he remained on guard against any further threats.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0D6WVWESvE
"7 more to go, 7 of us are already passed out and Neil's barrier is doing the bare minimum, but it doesn't matter, they already did enough." Raphael starts running towards the battle.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBVaq2n7dq
"It's done, Neil raise a barrier around you all,right now and Aria, take care of me." Raphael says while winking towards her.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKmNk3LIz4
Neil does exactly as told without questioning him, erecting his barrier. Aria gives him a startled look but quickly understands what he means.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJbH7Af6bd
In less than a second an ear-splitting song boomed through the room, its relentless intensity pounding against eardrums like thunder, rupturing the eardrums of all outside the barrier including Raphael.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRrgtTqPog
His hair starts turning white and he passes out, blood leaking from his ears.
4 soldiers passed out, the rest will not be able to recover without a healer, Raphael's side has won.

458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOo97Wh1KvA
The essence bullet was cast on time and is headed towards Raphael.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArdtIcnbD4
Raphael's body lay motionless on the ground, his once vibrant aura now dimmed as the essence bullet closed in on him with deadly intent. Aria, her eyes widening in horror, reacted swiftly, summoning her telekinesis just in time to intercept the bullet before it could reach its target.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKRpIWdf45
The impact reverberated through the air, sending shockwaves rippling across the battlefield. Aria gritted her teeth, her powers strained under the pressure as she fought to maintain her ability, her focus unwavering as she protected her fallen comrade and most important person.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxaQigHfcm

As the dust settled, Aria knelt beside Raphael's prone form, her heart heavy with concern as she surveyed his injuries. The strain of battle had taken its toll on him, his once formidable strength now depleted in the aftermath of the fierce confrontation.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWv4ZWD60t

Malik looks at the ground dejected before answering "I used all my essence, it will take sometime to replenish it."

458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhNrm0dcnp
Aria looks at him and doesn't answer, focusing on levitating the unconscious ones as they get out to reunite with the other group.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt37qfeYsQV
Neil nodded in agreement, his expression grave as he surveyed the battlefield. Aria decides to carry Raphael unconscious body on her arms instead of levitating him like the others.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvePg9ZbFI7
As they made their way out of the north hall, the weight of their recent battle hung heavy in the air, a somber reminder of the dangers they faced within the corporation's stronghold. Aria, her arms cradling Raphael's unconscious body, moved with determined purpose, her gaze focused ahead as she led the group to safety.
