"Ran, we're not alone!"
As if summoned by her words, a sharp clattering sound echoed from above the buildings.
Glittering shapes dropped from the sides of the buildings, glass breaking aside as their limbs unfolded midair.
"Don't let the glass skitters touch you!" Wu Ze screamed, pressing the green button on the four-inch pencil in her arm.
The creatures slid down from the walls, destroying almost half of the building as their sharp claws screeched against it.
Millions of sparks filled the air, giving it an ozone taste. Their limbs splayed, claws biting into the concrete like spiders as they jumped and landed on the street.
With translucent bodies that made their intestines visible, Leon saw how their four hearts pounded in their chests.
Then, as he focused on them, the notification chime erupted in his head once again, followed by the panel.
