One side of the destroyed Xiuhcoatl’s exterior was spinning around while still emitting that mass of flames. The wreckage scattered the flames in all directions covering the third Xiuhcoatl flying nearby in flames.
“This is our chance!!”
Mikoto’s eyes shined bright as she looked over at the third Xiuhcoatl that’s movement had been dulled. In order to finish it off, she instructed Shirai to take them up into the air. They would land directly on top of the craft and give it a nice gift of a close quarters Railgun blast.
However, Shirai’s landing failed.
There was nothing below her feet.
Mikoto and Shirai had essentially been tossed up 50 meters into the air.
It had not happened because Shirai Kuroko had messed up her teleportation calculations.
With a great noise, the Xiuhcoatl’s shape had greatly changed. It had opened up from the inside like an umbrella.
It had been ignoring aerodynamics before, but the air resistance from opening up a giant parasol-shaped object had been enough to make its speed drop suddenly. Mikoto and Shirai corrected their position and landed on top of the giant flower-like object.
“What…?”
