Skybrand's wings burst open, her face grim but determined.
She grabbed Neuro's arm, feeling his lean frame tense with surprise.
With a powerful flap, they lifted into the sky, the wind roaring around them.
Velvet Demon watched them rise, her eyes wide.
"Hey! Where are you going?"
Heavenly Demon stood tall, his eyes blinking as if he'd missed a step.
"They're running?"
Skybrand glared down, her swords still glowing from battle.
"We're not running because we're weak!"
Neuro adjusted his visor, his breath steady despite the scratches on his face.
"Exactly. We already got the data we need."
Heavenly Demon tilted his head, his face a mix of confusion and anger.
"Data? What data?"
Skybrand's grin was sharp, her wings tilting as they soared higher.
"Next time, we'll be the ones winning."
Velvet Demon's mouth fell open, her face twisting comically.
"You… you dare run away after all that talk?"
Heavenly Demon's jaw clenched, his fists tightening.
"They're actually running?"
