Chapter 30

Note: Thanks to Alex for beta reading this!

Crystal nodded as the last hippogriff died.

“I need help!” Mrs. Lucina cried. “I have two phoenixes on me! All my sphinxes are dead!”

“Come to us!” Crystal shouted back. “Me and my yuki-onna are still in the fight.”

Mrs. Lucina sent back a groan of gratitude.

Crystal looked in the direction the angel should be, scanning the skies for her. In three heartbeats, the ice sprite spotted Mrs. Lucina. Fire burned after her. She dodged a blast, her white wings soaring her through the skies. Crystal’s stomach churned for the beautiful MILF.

“We’ll save you,” she muttered to herself. Then she cupped her hands. “LANA!”

Lana, soaring overhead, glanced down.

Crystal pointed towards the angel coming in fast. Lana Fulmine nodded. The movie starlet’s wings crackled with her fury. Crystal looked around at her yuki-onna and Paanee, they were all ready to give the phoenixes a welcome.

Mrs. Bella Lucina flew like an angel fleeing hell.

She could feel the fires right behind her. She dodged and wove through the air. Flames shot past her. The two phoenixes screeched with fury as they fired their death at the angel. She flapped her wings hard, seeing Crystal, Paanee, Lana Fulmine, and the yuki-onna.

Mrs. Lucina just had to get to them.

Fire burned.

She banked to the right, the ball of fire screaming by her only for the other to slam into her back. She gasped as she realized she had dodged right into the inferno. The flames engulfed her, wings burning. Pain blazed through her body.

She could see her help. She had almost reached them.

Almost.

“NOOOO!” Lana Fulmine screamed as Mrs. Lucina vanished in a ball of fire. “KILL THOSE BITCHES!”

“YESSSSS!” Sparnas and Vaivory hissed as they swooped in beside Lana Fulmine.

The lightning sprite and the two quetzalcoatls all fired their electric attacks. Blasts of plasma arced from Lana Fulmine’s wings while the two quetzalcoatls spat balls of sizzling energy. The three attacks surged at the phoenixes who cawed in surprise.

They had been so focused on killing the angel, they hadn’t realized that she had backup.

Lana Fulmine’s electric blast and the two balls of lightning slammed into the same phoenix. All three attacks struck the flaming monster girl and annihilated her. The other phoenix cawed in shock, banking hard to the right.

“Get her!” Lana Fulmine snarled and soared after her, the two quetzalcoatls beating their rainbow wings as they flew with her.

They dove at the phoenix. She flew down a street, vanishing behind a building. Lana Fulmine led her quetzalcoatls over the top of it. She built up her charge, ready to fry this monster girl. She focused on the street where she would appear.

Only the enemy popped up to the right, flying straight up. The phoenix had killed her speed. Now she flared her wings wide and fired a ball of fire. It slammed into Sparnas, the quetzalcoatl taking the blow that would have killed Lana Fulmine.

“No!” screamed the movie starlet. She hated this. She was leading the monster girls into pain and suffering. They could come back, but not until all the halflings were safe. That could be hours. Sulanga could counterattack, and they were losing their forces.

“Come on!” Lana hissed and banked around to chase the bitch down, Vaivory with her.

“We’ll get her!” the quetzalcoatl hissed, her serpent tail swishing behind her.

“Get ready!” Crystal snarled. Anger pounded in her heart. Mrs. Lucina had been so close to being rescued. “Lana’s driving that bitch right for us.”

The last phoenix dodged a blast of lightning from Lana Fulmine’s wings then swooped to avoid a ball of electricity from Vaivory. The pair sent the phoenix flying right for the roofs that held Crystal and her force.

She formed her crystal dagger, the yuki-onna doing the same. Paanee inhaled, her boobs jiggling and tail swishing. At once, the group threw their attacks. Glittering missiles of death soared right for the flaming monster girl.

Red-feathered wings flapped. The phoenix cawed in surprise. She saw death coming for her. Flames burst from her mouth and swept out into the icy attacks. Crystal cursed as the attack engulfed their attacks.

Their ice melted into useless water.

The steam died down. Her glittering dagger gone.

But not Paanee’s ball of acid.

The phoenix banked at the last second. Instead of taking a face full of acid, it struck her wing. The feathers dissolved. The phoenix gasped and spun through the air. She hit on the roof a second later, tumbling between Prekrasnyy and Moroz. The two yuki-onna formed icy daggers.

Fire burned from the phoenix’s mouth as she came up into a crouch. Her flaming breath engulfed the two yuki-onna before they could reach her. They screamed, their icy bodies melting from the heat. They stumbled back, dissolving then vanishing.

Crystal’s heart lurched.

Hissing, Paanee leaped at the phoenix. The naga slammed into the bird monster girl. The blue snake’s tail wrapped tight about the phoenix, crushing her. Paanee’s face twisted in fury, her boobs jiggling as she squeezed her coils about the phoenix.

“Yes, yes, crush that bitch!” Crystal shouted.

The phoenix threw back her head to scream in pain. But instead of a cry of agony, flames burst out of her mouth and engulfed Paanee’s breasts and face. The naga’s blue hair burst into fire. She threw back her head, dying.

Crystal rushed toward the fight, forming an icy dagger. She raised it to throw it as Paanee thrashed in her death throes, her body still coiled about the enemy monster girl. Crystal didn’t have a clear shot. She hissed in frustration.

Paanee vanished. Returned to the Void Crystal.

The ice sprite threw her icy weapon.

The phoenix whirled around and breathed fire. It sprayed out from her, engulfing the attack and rushing for Crystal. The ice sprite threw herself back, rolling across the ground. The heat surged at her freezing body.

“No!” shouted Belyy. The yuki-onna threw herself to the ground, the fire licking over her. Water spilled off her body, part of her arm melting. But she rolled clear.

“Get that bitch!” Crystal roared, rising to her feet.

The phoenix spread her one remaining wing wide. The other was burning. Healing. She was regenerating her injury. Fucking phoenixes! snarled Crystal. She knew they could be reborn or something. Harry Potter had taught her that.

Flames exploded from the phoenix’s mouth and hurtled right for Crystal.

She had to flee farther down the roof, driven back by the heat with her yuki-onna. The flaming breath pushed them towards the edge of the roof. She reached the edge and faced a drop that would kill her. She had nowhere else to run. The fire boiled at her. She threw her ice shards.

They became puffs of steam.

From above, Lana Fulmine swooped down and spread her crackling wings wide. Lightning danced in her golden hair. Her silver body gleamed as she fired her electricity down at the phoenix. She hit the monster girl from behind and fried her ass.

The phoenix screamed as the attack flung her on her belly, snuffing out her flames. She thrashed, her back charred. Crystal and her three remaining yuki-onna threw their ice daggers. The blades ripped through the phoenix’s flesh.
