Mind bender

   "I want a sword that helps keep me alive"

   "A sword that once held will help me to survive"

   "A sword I can strike with that helps evade all strikes"

   "A sword for a coward to help me win all fights" 

   Such were the words that went through Mia's head as she swallowed the glowing blue pill. As she vanished from Genji's line of sight, she reached out her hand for a sword.

   The moment she grabbed the sword that came to her, pictures of events she never experienced began flooding her mind, alongside the pictures came voices and an odd feeling of rage that she was sure wasn't hers. It didn't take long for her to understand that those were the memories within the sword but that wasn't the strangest part 

   Despite the fact that there was rage within the sword and herself, Mia was sure that the the it was telling her to hang it on her waist and bring out something else. At first, she didn't listen and used the sword to attack Genji but when he covered himself in scales, Mia understood what what the sword was telling her.

   "If you really want to fight like a coward..."

   "...you must first forget your rage..."

   "... and aim for all weakness"

   While Hughes wondered how anyone would have ever survived such a huge blast, the answer was quite simple. Hughes and his entire army were so distracted by Orie that they forgot that he had someone with him. 

   While it may have been impossible for someone like Orie to survive such a blast, there was someone who could easily stand it. Right before the impact, Yamato shielded Orie from the blast they were both unharmed.

   Immediately after the blast, Orie patted Yamato on the shoulder and told him "Prepare something big" then leapt out of sight.

   No one saw Orie coming and no one could hear him as he got into the helicopter. He was more silent than a whisper in a graveyard and he lacked more presence than a soft breeze.

   No noise was made. Not when he was driving his hand through the heart of one of the soldiers, Not when he stabbed another in the neck with his own dagger. It all happened silently untill he took over the helicopter and started blowing sh*t up.

   While on the ground, Alone, with none of his own men alive, Hughes saw hope coming from afar. As a strong wind cleared the smoke, he could see three men walking towards him.

   "The mage squad" he said with a soft breath 

   The elite among the Freeland special forces who specialize in the art of magic. They took on the most dangerous tasks and took out the most dangerous enemies of the country. The trio wielded the powers of fire(which was common but power), gravity (which was in a league of it's own), and sound (which no one would want to hear).

   A wise man once said "Hope can disappear as quickly as it arrived". Before Hughes could get up and great the men coming towards him, he heard a loud snap on his right ear, Then after that came a slap that seemed to drive the loud sound straight into his brain. As he fell back to the ground, he could feel his pistol being taken from him and despite all the ringing in his ear he could hear three gunshots.

   "No way" he muttered weakly

   "No way" he said as everything before him became darkness.

   It was as if the battle between Genji and Mia had taken a sharp U turn. Mia was now the one keeping her distance while Genji tried to get close. 

   Mia couldn't get through his armor of scales but she could still cause him damage through blunt force. Except from her fists, she used any method she could to try and break him from within. When she wasn't trying to make 'Genji barbecue', she was either shooting rockets at him or dropping grenades under his feet when he wasn't looking. Genji had no chance for a counter.

   "How is she doing this" Genji wondered

   "She's fighting like this battle had already happened and she just wants to get it over with"

   "How far can see?"

   "How much has she already seen?"

   "Is it just because of a sword?"

   "Or is it more?"

   "I have to get rid of it" Genji said to himself

   "I must get rid of that sword" he said as he charged directly at Mia not minding what she threw at him. Neither bombs nor flames could discourage him.

   he just kept advancing as Mia tried to keep the distance between them and as soon as he got close enough, she pulled out a sniper rifle.

   "She can't do anything in with this distance" Genji thought

   "How is she going to reopen the gap" he thought but Mia's plan was not to increase the distance. Before Genji could figure out what was going on, he found himself being whacked in the head with a gun and falling on his face. After that, Mia stood above him, shooting at his head, reloading after every shot and firing at the same spot.

   "I have to admit" Genji said in his mind

   "This is my loss"

   "There's nothing I can do to get myself out of this situation"

   "She may have won against me" he thought

   "But I didn't come alone"

   "And there's no way she can beat him"

   Mia heard something that stopped her from trying to blast through Genji's brain. Footsteps slowly got closer as if someone was walking majestically As she turned around to see who it was, her sight was set upon someone completely covered in a crimson cloak.

   "Daughter of Lee" the cloaked man said in a deep reverberating voice

   "You have exceeded my expectations"

   "But now that the fight is over" he said

   "I will be taking over your mind"
