Emma was ready.
In order to reach the weapon, she had to disable the Magi dragon directly in front.
She took aim with her pistol, then sent the order to the group.Fire at will.
A dragon’s eye was a vulnerable point. When she had the Magi’s pupil in the crosshairs, she waited for that perfect split-second between the roll of Liam’s dragon body in flight and the space between her own heartbeats.
She fired.
The dragon arched in the air, then began a solemn fall to the flats below.
Good shot. Liam’s voice made her smile.
The firing all around commenced at the same time and through the sandy, gritty wind, more dragons fell.
But the familiar rumble sounded ten-fold louder this time.
Liam?
I hear it. Ready your weapon. We need the amplifying device disabled above everything else.
Some of their dragons were already peeling away to avoid what would be a fiery onslaught.
Emma telekinetically attached the handgun to her right hip. She then lifted the rocket launcher, also using telekinesis and stabilized it against her shoulder and her free hand.
Just as a terrible wave of heat hit her, she fired.
The amplified force that struck punched them backward into the air. Liam’s energy field kept her fixed to his back, but they were tumbling through the air amidst a fire storm. She didn’t know if she’d hit the weapon or not.
The last thing she heard was Liam’s voice in her head.Can’t hold my dragon form.
Then nothing.
