Sonya allowed herself a small grin at the compliment. "When I signed up for the army, never thought the career would lead me to having to save the world as well."
She spent the rest of the time organizing and getting supplies ready, and holding back a scowl when Johnny refused a weapon, stating that he never used one and didn't need to. Sonya could understand Liu not needing one because of his beliefs (what remained of them after the massacre of his family), but sometimes Johnny's cockiness was enough to make her want to kill him.
Sonya wasn't about to tell him off though, because as soon as she openned her mouth, the entire house started to shake, knocking books and other such things off the shelves. She and Jax braced themselves with their supplies, making sure nothing would get set off.
When it was over, the room seemed to darken as the light coming from the windows weakened, enough though it was only just reaching noon. Jax ordered everyone to stay down as he grapped a rifle and peered outside, frowning
"Well, Lipton, you wanted to know what to expect," He moved aside. "Have a look for yourself."
It wasn't a traditonal earthquake. Outside, the damage was obvious, but it wasn't the worst part. The darkened room was the result of the sun darkening so it looked almost like dusk, while the clouds themselves took on almost a purple appearence as though a storm was brewing. Along the street, there was a woman walking her dog and some people in various yards appearing to have been in the middle of yard work before the earthquake started, each one seemed to be caught frozen while reacting in terror. Jax concealed his digust when a pale green light seemed to pass though the skull of a man across the street, soaring up and joining several others towards the center of a wide twister seemingly stuck in the sky: several second after the light vanished, the 'man' turned to ash and bone.
He turned and looked at the others: they didn't need to ask what Kahn was doing, they already knew-and Sonya for once didn't trust herself to answer any questions.
"Now, we leave." They picked up their supplies and headed outside, where the weather suddenly turned very hot and dry for the time of year it was supposed to be. The very air itself seemed to take on a more 'dead' stench.
