Aeon Legion: Labyrinth Read Online Free

tearing out a clump of pages before hiding out of Terra's view.
    Silverwind patrolled between book shelves at a slow, but steady pace, searching for Hanns. When she neared the end of the aisle, Hanns darted in front of her a few paces away. He drew his pistol with his right hand while keeping his left hand behind his back. He fired.
    With her usual blindingly fast reflexes, Silverwind brought up her arm to shield herself. As her shield activated, Hanns threw a wad of torn pages at her that he had kept hidden in his other hand. The pages froze in midair, obscuring Silverwind's view.
    Hidden behind the frozen papers, Hanns fired several shots. The shots impacted the woman's shield. She charged, grabbing Hanns's right arm and breaking it. Hanns had switched the pistol to his left hand during the distraction. He aimed point blank at a gap in the armor on her abdomen beyond the woman's shield. A shot rang out.
    Blood seeped out of Silverwind's mouth as she swayed.
    Hanns wasted no time and kicked the woman to the floor. He holstered his pistol and used his unbroken left arm to pick up the history book he had dropped amid the scuffle. Victorious, Hanns limped towards the portal in the center of the room as broken his right arm dangled to his side. His men had already retreated into the portal.
    Terra sank behind the marble debris, trembling as her thoughts raced. Hanns had won. He held the history book in his hand. If he made it back into his own time, history might be forever altered.
    Hanns took another step closer to the portal.
    Terra slid down further on the floor, trying to control her rising panic. Maybe another sword wielding time traveler would stop Hanns? She could stay behind her happy little rock until this insanity ended.
    Hanns took another step closer to the portal, standing a few paces away from Terra now.
    Terra gritted her teeth to stop herself from trembling. She had always been like a stone; trod upon, ignored, and beneath the notice of everyone, even Hanns as he limped past her.
    Being like a stone wasn't so bad though. Most left her in peace, but she never did anything brave. Stones didn't need to be brave unlike the heroes and heroines of history she admired. The heroes and heroines who would have urged her to act right now.
    Hanns took a step away from Terra, walking past her.
    Sweat beaded on her brow. She knew it was suicidal to try to stop him. Hanns was a trained soldier and armed. Terra was just a nearly graduated high school student without a direction in life. He was from an age of warfare and strife. She was from an age of sitcoms and video games.
    Hanns took another step. He now stood a few paces away from the portal.
    Terra sat alone with only her thoughts. She could just sit there, close her eyes, and wait for it to be over. It would be easier to be like a stone and do nothing. But she was the only one who could do something now.
    Then she felt anger sink into her stomach.  How dare Hanns!  she thought.  How dare he wreak my safe library, putting everyone at risk for his own ambition!  It was just like the bullies at school. No one ever stopped them just as no one was left of stop Hanns.
    Terra then realized that right now, she was Time's only defender. No one was going to help her. No one was going to save her. Evil was about to win and only she could stop it. It was her chance to be a heroine.
    Terra set her jaw and stood to search for something, anything to use against Hanns. She grabbed a loose fist size chunk of marble before she charged. In spite of spraining her ankle, she caught up to the limping Hanns just before he took the final step to the portal. She raised the rock as high as she could before smashing Hanns on the back of the head. He crashed to the ground, book falling out of his hand onto the floor a few steps away while his gun fell into the portal.
    Terra smiled, dumbfounded, not at the Nazi soldier in modern day America, the time travel portal, or the silver haired soldier
