Startled soldiers choked up on their rifles.
Rajel fell to his knees, sliding along the floor as bullets rushed past above him. He extended his arm, shot one man in the leg, then adjusted his aim and shot the other one. They both fell flat on their faces, exposing the third man behind them.
That one pointed his weapon his weapon at Rajel’s head.
Ignoring the burning in his skin, Rajel summoned a Time Bubble with the aid of his symbiont. Spheres were easiest, requiring the least amount of energy, but for his purpose, he needed a specific shape. A narrow tube that ran from left to right from his perspective.
Rajel rolled sideways, coming up on one knee. Setting his gun for standard ammo, he let the bubble collapse.
The remaining soldier fired.
Bullets hit the floor tiles.
In the blink
