Samantha landed on one of the many sturdy rooftops of a house on Turia, looking up at the fortress with Alex on her back. "I feel immense strength coming from up there," Alex informed, followed by two deep breaths. "Should we go up there and fight, or should we just stay down here and lie low for a while?"
"Your stamina hasn't fully recharged, you idiot!" Samantha said. "I'm not going to watch you die seconds after we get there!"
Alex chuckled while rolling his eyes at Samantha. He held out his hand, igniting a small flame that illuminated the night sky surrounding them. "Trust me," he reassured. "I'm perfectly fine."
Samantha hesitated for a moment, followed by a deep sigh. "Cookie and Nafal are most likely still after us, either way," she said.
Suddenly, a slash of air soared through the thin air of the island, crashing into the house Samantha and Alex were on. Among the thick fog, Cookie smiled at both of them evilly. "Looks like you don't have enough energy to use that 'nuclear flame thing', huh?" she joked, drawing her sword to the both of them. "Now, there's nothing you can do to escape my wrath!"
Shortly after the events of Hamila had been released to the world, multiple reactions sparked an uproar of chaos and freedom. Now that the Romanti Clan had fully disbanded, Team ENTITY had succeeded in their fateful mission of getting their second-strongest soldier, Gerald Romanti, back from their clutches. Now, Team ENTITY was sailing back to the Land Of Trila - where their alternative mission that they had not yet completed. Would Team ENTITY be able to take down the Trilan government and the other forces trying to infiltrate it, or would they find themselves in a major problem? This is ENTITY Volume 11, Land Of Trila, Part 2.
Volume 11, Chapter 22 - Gone Into The Night
Alex and Samantha both glanced at each other, slightly nodding their heads in unison and agreement. "Do you have enough energy as well?" Samantha asked. Alex nodded, the flame in his palm expanding as it moved with the slight gusts of wind.
Samantha slammed her hand against the ground, creating a wall of ice bordering Cookie from both her and Alex. "Let's go!" she exclaimed, signaling to Alex to expand the ember in his hand even more. The fire grew into a gigantic ball, still similar to the Nuclear Eternal Flame, but more loose. "Eternal Flame!" Alex exclaimed, followed by a sudden peak in his power that he had not experienced before.
The giant ball of fire dispersed into a ray, melting the ice and causing a large current of water to flood the village and heading towards Cookie, who was trying to figure out her next move. She swung her sword once again, boosting her into the air to dodge the tsunami. "First they obliterated hundreds of soldiers, and now they're flooding the village!?" she exclaimed.
"Get ready for the next wave!" Samantha exclaimed, launching an arrow of ice right at Cookie and destroying the tree she was on.
Alex jumped up into the air, his entire body becoming a flame of fire and engulfing his body. "That's why they used to call me the Speed Devil!" he exclaimed, punching Cookie as the flame went right through her. She flew head-first into the water, losing grip of her swords just seconds later. "I'm going to drown!" Cookie panicked. However, a mutation in her body similar to the one Stella had unleashed on Kyle had awakened inside her, slowly invading her body and taking in a new vessel. She grabbed her swords once again, just sharpening the blade with her bare hand.
Above the dominating riptide, both Samantha and Alex looked into the gigantic current that had swept Cookie away from the battlefield. "Is she dead yet?" Samantha asked Alex, who was unsure himself.
Cookie then flew out of the water with her sword, charging right at Samantha. "It has been
completed!" she exclaimed, slashing the small platform Samantha stood on along with half of the houses in the abandoned village. Now, Samantha was falling towards the foundation of the giant whirlpool that she and Alex had both created.
She was then saved by Alex, who leaped across the eye of the storm and caught her before she had fallen in. "That was a close one," Alex joked.
Cookie, on the other hand, was now fully taken over by the mutation inside her body that turned her into a vile monster, a variant of the Half-Entity. "What is this drug's power…?" she asked herself. "Am I going to overdose?"
Right before Cookie lost consciousness of her body, a loud thud shook the entire island. "What the hell was that!?" Itama exclaimed, looking back as he made sure both Kevin and Champion were okay.
Even though Kevin had shrugged the unusual predicament off, there was now something else going on on the fourth floor of the castle which was yet to be reported by one of the generals.
"A hijacked airship has crashed into the fourth floor!" a voice broadcast to the island, leaving everyone listening in shock.
