came at them , swung her blade , & almost chopped Iz in half . One thing about being an Elenater , was that Iz was naturally very light , flexible , agile , & fast . This is the sole reason he was NOT chopped in two . He then succeeded tripping the girl , grabbing her sword , allowing him the ability to safely fight back . Mell already had that ability . Her Dracinic subspecies has the ability to store water in a special pouch , which they then spay as a mist , adding a chemical that , when mixed with water , freezes on contact with living organic matter , also causing a nasty & painful chemical burn . A half full pouch has enough liquid for 10 minutes of continuous spraying , making them quite formidable opponents . Another threw a kind of throwing star a Mell , which she dodged , yelling , “ What kind of Sigits ARE YOU !!??” Then he threw a knife at her . The hilt , not the blade , hit the base of her neck , setting off an uncontrollable reflex in which she sprayed her natural weapon . She had just enough time to point her head directly at the man ’ s face , which next second was covered in ice . He screamed in pain & ran to the docking bay . While fighting Iz & Mell were carefully making their way to the bay themselves . Right before they were able to step onto it , their attackers realized what they were doing & tried to stop them . Thankfully for the kid ’ s , a law enforcement officer , or on Kirya , a kat , noticed & came running over . “ HEY !” he yelled ,” What are you doing ? Wait , leave those kids alone !” “ And you kids ,” he added seriesly , “ leave this to the professionals .” Sadly the kids did not have that choice , for the people attacking them were making sure of it . This was quite the inconvenience for Mell & Iz . Iz use the standard protocol & hit the next attacker , a Sarcalix that was entirely different shades of blue , even his eyes , in the head with the flat of his sword , knocking him out . “ I said LEAVE IT TO THE PROFESSIONALS !!” bellowed the kat . “ Well then have fun letting us die !” Mell shouted back . “ Ya ! We ’ ll just stand around defenseless while you get annihilated , then let ourselves get killed !” Iz yelled sarcastically , “ Really great idea kat !” He added as he ducked an arrow . The kat gave up & tackled the nearest enemy . The enemy happened to be an unusually small Salmeter , though it ’ s size didn ’ t really matter since it was still covered in spikes . Luckily for the kat , the standard uniform includes an armored layer of clothing , so he was saved from the trouble of being stabbed all over his body by inch long spines . This went on for a while . They were finally able to capture the people & were about to walk through the door to the entrance hall when they heard a loud crack behind them , followed by a bang , then a crumbling sound , & finally the sound of shattering wood & snapping metal . They looked over their shoulders & saw that the platform they had just been on had collapsed . They registered this sad fact , then proceeded to enter the entrance hall . Mell & Iz were reunited with their families , & after a long lecture on why not to fight armed attackers & how they “ should have ” responded to the situation were on their way home & lived happy , average , & mostly normal lives .
