Lyra ducked under a claw swipe, barely keeping her head intact as the curved, sharp claws whistled over it.
Her face drained of all colors, but there was a chilling focus and confidence in her eyes that belied her fear.
She took a step back, raising her blasters in one fluid motion and shooting twin beams of energy.
Her partner, Zain, held onto the Wolf tightly, activating his Ability to slow the Extraterrestrial down.
The energy beams came out quickly, homing on the target and crashing into the chest of the towering Wolf, charring its fur and scorching its skin.
Lyra breathed out deeply, lowering her arms and staring ahead as the burnt flesh and fur slowly regenerated.
She almost wanted to cry. All her attacks had been mostly useless since the start of the battle. She wanted nothing more than to be back in her lab, doing her research in silence, but she somehow ended up here, with a barely useful partner.
