Read Cobalt [OUTDATED VERSION] :: Chapter 16: Concrete Jungle

I hopped onto Moku's back, her arms started to sprout feathers until they were no longer arms but huge wings.

Moku: "Hold on tight!!!!"

With a nasty lurch, we took off.

Moku: "Can you mutate your eyes?"

Scarlet: "For what purpose?"

Moku: "To help look for a safe place to land, I'm busy trying to fly in these strong winds!"

I strained my eyes, a burning sensation swept through my eyeballs causing me to rub them. When I opened them, I could now see much farther in the darkness of the night sky.

*POOM!*

I heard a hissing sound behind us...

Scarlet: "Hey, look out!"

She looked back...

Moku: "Seriously!? Missiles!?!?"

I clutched tightly as she dodged the missiles, they followed in her path.

Moku: "FUCK!"

Scarlet: "Apparently these are of the heat-seeking variety..."

I began to rifle through Moku's jacket pockets...

Moku: "What are you doing?"

Scarlet: "I'm searching for a potential heat source, these are heat-seekers, they are designed to follow any heat source...Ah hah!"

I found 3 mini-packs of tissues and a lighter!

Moku: "Hold on, not over the city! I'm heading to the docks!"

I lit one pack's worth of tissues aflame. Once we were over the docks, I tossed them over.

Scarlet: "Okay! Dropped the first one!"

One of the three missiles went off-course and slammed into the ocean below.

Dropped another, the missile went for it like a cat to a mouse. I dropped the last tissue and the last missile cut a boat house into two.

Moku: " Okay! I found a place to land!"

I hopped off as she landed by another boat house...

*FWOOOOSSSSHHH!!!!!!*

I shoved her aside and ran toward the fourth missile.

Moku: "WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE-"

I vaulted over the missile, it streaked below me and embedded itself into the wall of the boathouse behind us.

*KABOOOOMMM!!!!*

Moku: "Omigosh omigosh omigosh, they fucking tried to KILL us!"

Moku: "YOU- you better be able to explain all of this!"

Scarlet: "I'm afraid I can't do so alone...But I think this can help!"

I now held the USB drive from earlier in my hand.

Moku: "Okay... I hope it can help me find Koba..."

(Ten minutes later...)

We came to the front doors of a familiar building. I don't know what got ahold of me but I ran through a familiar body, up a familiar staircase, and into a familiar door labeled #32.

[Switching to Moku]

I caught up to her...

Moku:" Hey, what are you doing in Koba's room?"

*SZZRAAAAKKK*

"Do you mean my room?"
