Eternal Storm Clip 2

From episode 7: Altercation

“We’ll go on and scout ahead,” Toshirou agrees. He and Sora take off again with the others in tow. Just as they are gaining distance, they hear Takeshi yell, “SHIORI, GET BACK HERE!!!”

When they look back, they see that Shiori has run out into the open toward a little child who is trapped in the middle the melee. “SHIORI, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!!!” Toshirou screams.

Sora bolts away to chase after Shiori. “SORA, NO!!!” Takeshi yells.

Shiori grabs the child and scoops him up, trying to duck out of the line of fire, when she suddenly trips and falls. “LOOK OUT!!!” she hears Atsuko screech. She looks up and sees debris falling from the building right on top of her and screams. She feels a stiff gust of wind rush past her and hears something crash to the ground, glass shattering behind her. When she looks up, Sora is standing over her holding his scratched arms over his head. “Sora...” The next thing Shiori knows, her other teammates are charging in after them.

Takeshi and Taki rush to their aid. “Sora, Shiori!” Takeshi cries. “Are you hurt?”

“Where’s the little boy?” Taki asks.

“He’s here,” Shiori says, allowing the little child to peek out through her protecting arms. “He’s okay, and so am I, thanks to Sora.”

“Let me see your arms,” Takeshi coaxes Sora.

“Is it really a good time for that right now?” Yoshihiko yells. “We must get out of here first!”

“I’m okay,” Sora says shakily. “Let’s just go...”

Takeshi nods. “Come on.” He leads them away and whistles out to the others, motioning for them to follow.

“Takeshi!” Toshiro calls. “Natsumi is missing!”

“What?” Yoshihiko roars.

“She vanished..!” Toshiro pants. “She must be..She disappeared with one of the Dharmish soldiers...!”

“Oh no...” Takeshi murmurs.
