After I spoke to her I turned around because I didn't want to see what kind of face she would make.
Am I really cut out for this? I'm no hero, I can't be, I protect only myself but maybe if...
I watched as the knight in black armor walked towards us. He had what looked like a flaming sword in his right hand. He tightened his grip as he was about to walk past me when I stuck out my arm and stop him. I calmly said:"What the hell do you think your doing."
He stood there shocked because he probably thought I would hand Tabatha over so they could kill her...I remembered.
That's right, ever since that day I swore to myself that I would do whatever it takes to...
I had my hand on his chest before he could do anything I quickly kicked him and that kick sent him flying into the other knights.
...I, I'll protect those that society casts aside. Whatever it takes, I'll protect them...The people who can't protect themselves!
Wow, what is this...After I got my card it's like I became a different person...I'm stronger,faster,my senses seem like they have been boosted too.
He got up angry as he shouted at me with a blood raged face:"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING. YOU SAID WE COULD TAKE HER!"
Did I say that, well I guess I did.
"You didn't let me finish!"
I couldn't take it anymore. Maybe I'm sick of the people here or sick of myself for always putting Tabatha in a position to be terrified, even if I had only done it today.
I can't believe how calm I am right now. Maybe I should see just how great this power is now.
I think it's about time I let loose... I'll show them what happens when you terrify and threaten Tabatha when I'm around...I'll finally let this rage that's been building this whole time out.
"THE HELL YOU TALKING ABOUT DUMBASS. DO YOU WANT TO MAKE THIS WHOLE COUNTRY YOUR ENEMY BECAUSE THATS WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IF YOU PROTECT HER!
This time it was a knight with red and white armor on that shouted but he was more furious than the black knight. The red knight whispered something as a fire ball appeared in his hands.
"I'LL GIVE YOU ONE LAST CHANCE. HAND HER OVER OR THIS WHOLE COUNTRY IS YOUR ENEMY!"
Me and against a whole country... To be a hero in your own story, you have to be a villain in someone else's.
...But I'm no hero, if anything I'm a no good failure.
If protecting Tabatha puts the whole world against me I'll gladly protect her and I'll be her failure.
I didn't know were this confidence came from maybe it was from finding out I was a high level or that I finally have a chance to make a difference in someone's life...Something no one was for me and something I wasn't to someone.
I once again calmly said:"Take her..."
They stood there red faced from anger as they all used there strongest magic as I got the chance to finish my sentence."Take her...If you can kill me. As long as I'm here you won't lay a finger on her."
If I ever do beat the devil then I hope my story is called The Failure of Earth 2.
I could see everyone in the guild get up and point there strongest magic at me as a knight in chain armor confidently said:"Do you think you can beat us...We're the top 20 strongest knights beside the royle knights. We are each level 40, do you really think you even have a chance?"
A chance...They should be asking for a chance to escape.
I stuck out my hand and clinched my right fist.
"Lightning sword." I whispered to myself as a...Wait nothings happening did I say it wrong!
I started to panick as I watched the knights getting ready to unleash their attacks...This isn't good!!!
Think!Think! Oh I got it maybe my Lightning blade needs a source like a cloud needs dusk to be able to take shape and be a cloud.
It just might work and it's better than standing here and looking like an idiot. I turned around and saw Tabatha dumbstruck but then who wouldn't be after the person you thought betrayed turned out to be the one person who won't leave you.
Maybe I'll tell her why later.
I walked to her, stopped right in front of her and she didn't move one inch as I reached behind her to get her sword...Hmm, this doesn't feel like a sword but I wouldn't know because I had never held a real sword.
This was firm yet it was squishy at the same time and felt good in my hand so I kept on squeezing it as I saw Tabathas face turn bright red.
"What are...You doing!" Tabatha screamed or maybe she asked but I noticed that I wasn't squeezing her sword but her butt...I'm dead when this is over!..Well I lived a life of shame, it would be an honor to die by her hands.
I quickly grabbed her sword and darted ten feet away from her as I stood only 5 feet from the knights and everybody else.
It'll work this time...I hope.
"Lightning sword!" I yelled as Tabathas sword started to glow and Lightning bolts shot around the blade until they all started to circle the blade and stuck to it, making it my Lightning blade.
"Stop! I don't want to cause you anymore trouble!"Tabatha screamed with a trembling voice.
She doesn't want to cause me trouble and she's willing to go and die for me...I feel like crying because no ever said something so kind to me before.
I looked back at Tabatha to see tears streaming down her terrified face. She was standing up with I grabbed her sword from her but now she was on the ground. Was it from me groping her butt or from fear of dying?
I don't know how I'm staying so calm but I calmly looked into Tabathas beautiful eyes and said:"Trouble? Don't give me that shit! If the whole country in against me I'll protect you no, even if they whole world is against me I'll protect you! No one deserves to be treated how your being treated."
If I can make a difference in just one person's life, I'll take on the world and I'll win at any cost.
If I did this back then would everything have been different...Would I still have a brother?
Eh...I feel something hot at my stomach like its burning through me. It annoyed me because it interrupted my thinking. I looked down to see a sword with flames around it flowing out through my stomach as it darted towards Tabatha. I quickly grabbed the blade as it burnt my left hand but, why didn't I feel the pain?
It hurts ! My stomach feels like it's going to explode but, I still don't feel anything in my left hand.
"Dammmnnn itttttt!"
I stopped the blade inches before it would have struck Tabatha.I pushed Tabatha away with my foot as she flew back atleast five feet.
I couldn't stand the pain anymore, I pushed the sword out of my body as I felt blood flowing from my wound. I turned around to see the black knight with his blade oozing with my blood, I watched as my blood slowly dropped from his sword.
I felt like I was in a trance until I felt more intense pain.
I felt my left hand burst with intense pain like felt like knives were being jabbed into my left hand. I looked at my hand but I noticed something written on my arm. It said:"Dodge this next attack because they are done charging up thier magic."
I got ready to dodge the magic attacks but, I sensed Tabatha still behind me. If I dodge the attacks then Tabatha will get hit, I can't rescue her because there's isn't enough time...I have the best chance of surviving this attack.
I turned around as I felt the first attack slam into my back. I don't know how to describe the pain if anything it felt like my back was being skinned as I felt my shirt being ripped apart.
The second attack was the same feeling...I wish I could say that but, it was even worst.
The attacks pushed me all the way to Tabatha as I acted as a shield for her, I leaned against her as I fell to my knees. Each attack seemed to get worse and worse.
I could see blood spattering on the wall, was it my blood? I felt a warm feeling at my knees, I looked down and saw a pool of blood...So, it was my blood.
I leaned over and whispered into Tabathas ear as another attack slammed into my bloody body as tears ran down my face:"I'm sorry, I don't know if we can make our squad."
She looked up at me with tears in her eyes as she was about to say something.
I hope this works...
"Lightning Flash"(Teleportation)
I say a target form on Tabatha as I said that, as I thought of the place where we first met as she vanished with a Lightning bolt.
I felt two more attacks slam into my body, I felt my body go numb as I slowly fell to my face...My Lightning sword was still in my hand.
"Looks like she got way."
"That's fine we can still kill this Fucker!"
I wish...No! I will kill them, people like this doesn't deserve to live.
I felt power rise in me as I slowly stood up. I faced the knights as they stood were they stand shocked.
"I couldn't let her see what I'm about to do to all of you." I calmly said as I saw the people in the guild try to leave."Don't think that just because you leave you'll be safe. I'll hunt you down and I'll kill you."
The black knight with the flaming sword charged me first. I felt everything went into slow motion. His swing was slow, I dodged it and sliced his throat killing him in one blow.
Next the knight with the red and white armor charged me. He shot fire magic at me in a form of a dragon, it was slow, I dodged it and sliced him in half in one blow, killing him.
What happened next was just a blur to me, I killed 17 of them in a matter of seconds, each one was killed with my Lightning blade. The only one left was the one with the chain armor.
I felt tired as if my body wouldn't move anymore.
I saw everyone in the guild terrified as I took down thier so called strongest knights
Is this what it feels like when your almost out of magic. I don't think I have enough magic to keep my Lightning blade, let alone kill the chain armor guy...How lucky he gets to live.
"Lightning flash."
I saw the target on me as a Lightning bolt took me away to the only place I could think of and it was where I first met Tabatha.
The last thing I remember was seeing Tabatha running to me as I fell to the ground.
