Chapter 138: Students of Mega Academy

"My turn again."

Although the approaching tentacle might seem slow; it was only due to its size– with the speed it was going, it was almost as fast as a car speeding on a highway. But even so, the smile on Hannah's face did not fade… and maybe even grew wider.

She then stretched her arms to the side, making the wings of fire behind her span even longer and more concentrated– almost to the point that it looked similar to the laser beams that were coming out of Silvie and Gary's eyes.

And as the train-sized tentacle was about to hit her, a loud thunder erupted in the air as Hannah's entire body spun at an exploding speed– completely splitting the tentacle in half without even a slight resistance.

"Calamares for the entire city!" Hannah then let out a small laugh as she stopped spinning, the wings on her back exploding as she made her way down to the ground to at least take a breather.

"..." Seeing this, Silvie could only blink her eyes. It would seem the more the action, the livelier Hannah is– perhaps a trait received from her father.

Silvie then turned her head towards the dismembered tentacle– just a few more meters, and it would have destroyed one of the little boutiques lined up on the street near the beach.

"I have an idea," Silvie then breathed out as she flew towards the end dismembered tentacle. Her eyes scanned it for a few seconds before she lifted it into the air as she flew near Cephalos.

And once the other side of the tentacle she was holding was no longer hitting the ground, she also rotated her body– swinging the giant tentacle along with her.

"W… what the…" Sandra, who was watching from the ground, could not help but believe what she was seeing. She was supposed to be the veteran superhero here, but it was hard not to be impressed with the display of the students from the Mega Academy.

Were these students just special? Or are the people from the Academy truly this good?

A loud whistle then soon interrupted Sandra's thoughts as a violent gust of wind was starting to form through the spinning tentacles' path.

"Yah!"

And with a slight change in direction, Silvie finally stopped spinning and slammed the Cephalos's own tentacle straight through its body, causing the entire beach to quake. Bits and pieces once again erupted from Cephalos as his entire body seemed to have exploded from the impact.

Silvie, however, seemed to have no time to rest.

"It's… already recovering?"

And even with its entire body in pieces, Silvie and the others could stare in disbelief as Cephalos's mangled flesh squirmed like worms; and just like that, in a moment, Cephalos was once again whole.

"...This is tricky," Hannah sighed as she floated near Silvie, "No wonder Mega Woman was forced to kill this fucker."

"Well, she didn't really kill it," Silvie also let out a sigh of her own, "If Cephalos could regenerate its body no matter what we throw at it, then any damage we would do would just be a waste of effort."

"Hm, well… let's see if our plan works," Hannah then said as she pressed something on her neck, "You guys, how long do we still need to distract this monster?"

[A few more seconds, big sister Hannah.]

And as soon as those words entered Hannah's ears, she quickly bellowed and pointed her finger towards Sandra.

"You, the one just watching there!" She screamed, "Can you create that wall of sand you did earlier again!?"

"Wha–"

"Do it now! Just prevent this tentacle monster from approaching the city!"

"..." Sandra was quite uncomfortable taking orders from someone younger than her, as she's always been the one to lead those who wished to protect her city. But still, she did not let any of those thoughts get in the way; nodding her head as she kneeled on the ground.

And once again, she mustered up the remaining strength she had left in her body; her palms, touching the field of murky sand beneath her; and as she did so, the wall that she failed to build earlier finally saw the light of the moon.

"I… can't hold this for long!"

"Silvie!"

"On it!" A skirt of wind once again surrounded Silvie as she flew towards Cephalos; avoiding all the tentacles that were threatening to flatten her whole.

"Tch," there was, however, one she could not avoid. And so, the only thing she could do was laser it and speed up her flight even faster– pushing her straight through the tentacle; its bits of pieces of flesh, still attached to her hair.

She did not seem to mind anymore, however, as she quickly landed on the of the tentacles behind Cephalos, grabbing it by its end and not letting Cephalos crawl towards the city any further.

"Tomoe, anytime now!"

[No need to count,] Tomoe's voice once again traveled through the comms line, [It's ready. Master Riley, Gary… Please drop it.]

And as soon as she said that, the entire city was suddenly drowned in the color of the sky– glistening purple fractals of light that flickered across the horizon.

"What… the hell is that?" Sandra could only blink her eyes as she turned her head towards the sky. The clouds, seemingly all making way for the dark crystal that still reflected the purple sky.

"Wait…" Sandra then took in a small gulp as she remained looking at the dark crystal, "Don't tell me… you plan to–"

Before Sandra could even finish her words, the colossal icicle; one that could probably be seen through a satellite, made its way straight towards Cephalos.

"Are… are you kids insane!?" And with those words as a sort of opener, the entire city of Honolulu felt the entire earth tremble.

Cephalos tried to block the dark icicle with all of its tentacles. But alas, with the sheer weight of the ice, the only thing the tentacles did was get pinned down with the rest of its body.

"It's not over yet, Gary!"

"Grah!"

And with the descending roar coming from the skies, a silhouette shot straight towards the top of the icicle, causing another thunderous explosion as the spear of ice penetrated even deeper through Cephalos's already mangled body– pinning it down on the sand.

And just when Sandra thought it was over, the icicle suddenly opened up– almost like a flower as it quickly crawled through Cephalos's entire body, covering it completely in its beautiful and elegant darkness…

…perhaps, maybe, forever trapping it.

"This…

…These are the students from the Academy?"
