I Shall Evolve Everything

"Tama, could you teleport us to here?" I ask Tama showing her the coordinates that I had been sent.

Shaking her head Tama replies with a negative.

"Unfortunately not I can only teleport with a line of sight or somewhere th at I have already been."

Sighing I get up, getting ready for a run. These were people that I had scouted for recruitment it would be in bad taste to just let them die.

"I can get you there fast if you need me to." Just as I was about to sprint off towards the coordinates Tama spoke up offering to get me to where I needed to be.

"Ah, yes if you could do that it'd be nice." I didn't expect for Tama to be this helpful towards me of her own initiative. Of course if I had asked then she would have done it, but from the impression that I had gotten from her, it seemed like Tama didn't like me too much. As if she was only tolerating me because I was important to Darwin.

"Eep"

A small gasp of surprise left my mouth as I was picked up by Tama and rushed over to the area that I needed to be in.

We had to stop a few times to check the coordinates, both ours and the ones that had been sent.

Eventually after a bit of sprinting we had made it to the place specified by Gabriel.

BOOM

From the side of me I could hear explosions echo out in the air as what I could only assume was Gabriel ran from something.

Manifesting my armor, fog spread out over the area as I used the armor to hasten my steps.

…

"HAH" "hah"

My breath was heavy, numerous wounds upon my skin as the Gaul that chased me sent out more projectiles.

I was lucky that Aoif had taught me to reinforce myself otherwise I'm sure that my legs and torso would have been unusable from all the projectiles that I was unable to dodge.

Naomi in my hands was doing her best to buff me with all her strength. However it was just barely enough to allow us to run but not enough to allow us to escape.

I hoped that Aoif had already made it to the point that I wanted us to meet at.

We were so close, maybe only 100 feet or so away, I could literally see the place that I had sent Aoif to.

A sigh of relief broke through my mouth as I saw Aoif and some unknown woman with her standing in the clearing.

'One last dodge' I thought to myself, gathering the strength in my legs to dodge out of the way of the enemy's hand, poised to cleave me in half.

"GUH" I grunted out as I fell to the ground on my back near the unknown woman.

"Hahaha" Naomi' in my grip started laughing.

"We made it"

"Yeah, we did" I softly said, petting her hair, my tail slowly swishing in the air.

Looking back up I could see the Gaul that had chased us, looking at us in confusion on why we had chosen to stop running, however the confusion didn't last long as he soon had to dodge the ice spear that threatened to skewer his head.

To the right of the Gaul was Aoif, the armor that I had seen her wear in combat upon her, a new dagger in her hand.

A bloodthirsty smile was upon her face as she stared down the being that we could not fight against.

"Ah!" I screamed a bit as a hand was placed on my shoulder.

Behind me was the woman that had accompanied Aoif, I could not feel anything coming from her, not even remnants of aether that fell off of everything that consciously used aether.

My body soon relaxed, though not of my own intention whatever the woman had done to me had some sort of calming effect.

It was only then, now that I was calmed down, that I saw the tails swishing behind her and the fox ears on her head.

"Kit…sune?" I asked a bit unsure.

A mischievous smile appeared on her face as she nodded, the hand on me disappeared just as she did.

A weight on my shoulder and I could see a 7 tailed fox on my shoulder. Sitting there doing nothing but making my heart pound in shock.

A Cheshire grin sat upon the fox's face as she observed my reactions.

Definitely a kitsune, it acted and had all the characteristics of what I would assume a kitsune would have.

AAOOO

The howling of the Gaul brought me back to the fight, its arm was cut off. The dagger must have been razor sharp, I hadn't heard any resistance to it nor even a soft squelch from the arm being cut off.

Looking at Aoif the bloodthirsty grin on her face soon turned into a frown, I don't know why, all I could do was guess.

My only theory was that she was someone who enjoyed her fights, Aoif probably expected whatever was chasing me to be much stronger and was disappointed.

I whispered my theory to the kitsune on my arm, asking if it was right.

"Maybe~" was the only answer I got out of her, her voice singing in a melodic tone.

I looked back up to the battle and saw that it was almost over, Aoif was in front of the enemy and her dagger was raised as if to stab through him.

However the height of the enemy worked against her as Aoif could only reach up to his chest.

That didn't seem to bother Aoif as all she did was jump a little and slash at its neck, the Gaul being decapitated.

Its eyes turned lifeless as it drew its last breath.

"That was disappointing, I thought you were stronger than that" Aoif's eyes bore holes into mine as her disappointment radiated off of her.

"I- it- it was too strong, anything that I tried would not pierce its skin and my instincts told me to run" I rebuked.
