The first power-flux Tali caused made the captive dragon stir a little. The second flux jammed the damned-Hunters’ junk tech and allowed the dragon to rise up.

Tali wasn’t normally one for physical violence, but this one time, they gave themselves some lee-way, producing a nice big sparkling pink cricket bat and bashing it into the side of the black Ace Hunt van. It made a satisfying sound; they did it again.

‘Stop, you brat!’

‘Call for backup!’

Tali could see the Hunters drawing their weapons, so they power-fluxed again, stronger but shorter, jamming their devices. Their faces twisted in dark snarls and rushed towards Tali. Tali grinned and ran. They turned around to see some of the Hunt was following; Tali threw their bat to hit the van with a solid thud.

A few of the Hunters climbed into the van, and Tali ran and let the ground swallow them up.
