Chereads / The 12th Guardian / Chapter 77 - Left Behind

Chapter 77 - Left Behind

Pulling out his gun Semar fires at each arrow individually, stopping each before they really leave the area of the two.

"Are you sure that's the best idea?"

[Semar]

"The fuck?! How'd he..but I..FUCK!"

[Obitiga, as both Naraku and him are dumbfounded]

Obitiga then turns around and begins walking back towards Crystal and Twilight.

"I don't want to fight him, it's all you Naraku."

[Obitiga, as he walks back to the group]

Confused, but more than willing to start the fight, Naraku begins to fire off more shots.

"You know that poison you put in the Birion could really harm someone who consumes it."

[Naraku, letting his anger out in his shooting]

"Yes but that is if you consume it too late, the moment that Birion is out is the most optimal time for consumption, so anything after that you deserve nothing but death."

[Semar, firing his gun and doing his best to hold back his chuckling]

With Semar firing through each shot, Naraku begins to become more enraged. Unable to understand just how he had such accuracy and power. Though he was effortlessly firing.

"Are you even being serious with this battle?"

[Naraku]

"Yes, but I would rather you test my next meal, so why don't you stop with the attacks."

[Semar]

"You can't be serious?"

[Naraku, bringing down his bow]

"I prepared one last meal for the group of us to eat, and do not worry this one has no poison ingredients for you to consume."

[Semar, reaching into his backpack]

"How can we trust you?"

[Obitiga, interrupting the two of thems conversation]

"You have to take the chance, trust me it will be worth it. Plus, Why would I want to fight you all with no energy, and on an empty stomach. What kind of cook would I be then?"

[Semar, heading the team a few plates]

Having no choice but to trust Semar the team begins to eat, with nothing in them in almost a day they scarf the food down as if they had lost their own souls.

L.Y. 651 Muro 26 5:09 S.Q. - Abandoned Facility, Inside the Carnival

Several hours passed and the team reawakened, it seems after the meal they were given they each passed out.

"What happened?"

[Crystal, groaning as she comes too]

"I don't know, the last thing I remember was eating."

[Obitiga, yawning]

"Where did that cook, Semar go?"

[Twilight]

"He couldn't have run off could he?"

[Naraku, trying to move but getting caught on something]

The sounds of something metal dragging against the floor can be heard. And the rest of the team also feels a tug on their legs as Naraku moves around.

"What's that?"

[Naraku, Pulling at what was tugging his feet]

Naraku looks down to notice that the team was forcibly changed together.

"What the fuck!"

[Obitiga, as he notices as well]

Picking up the chains to inspect them to see if they were easily broken, Obitiga slams them to the ground. Sadly they do not break.

"See this is why we shouldn't just trust people because we're hungry!"

[Obitiga]

"How do we get out of here!"

[Crystal]

"These chains seem pretty old and worn out, they're covered with some type of rust."

[Twilight, sniffing the chains]

"It seems like it's dry blood."

[Twilight]

"Either way, can you destroy them or not?"

[Obitiga]

"Maybe!"

[Twilight, turning his arm into a claw and wedging his finger into the chains]

Breaking his Twilight easily makes his way to the rest of the team. Breaking both Obitiga and Crystal free, Twilight begins to make his way towards Naraku. Hearing what sounded like the boom of a cannon, Twilight stops to see a hole in the floor where his arm would have reached. Stepping back out of the shadow, Semar begins to smile.

"I know you enjoyed the meal..but I have to eat too. So unfortunately one of you needs to stay."

[Semar, still pointing his barrel at the team]

"We can't let that.."

[Twilight, as Semar fires another shot]

"The entrance is behind you, once you've left it's just a left to make it to the exit. You can see yourselves out from there."

[Semar]

"Reluctant to leave Naraku behind Twilight checks to see if there was any way to distract Semar."

"If you're looking to stop me somehow and save your friend I wouldn't. See you three are lucky the chains I gave you are connected to mini explosives. They were meant to go off if you tried and removed them yourself but apparently I gave you all nothing but heavier paper weights."

[Semar, chuckling as he begins to cover his face]

"Though your friend, Naraku was it, his are brand new ones, and I don't want to ruin such a fine specimen for my next meal. If you three leave quietly I will unchain him, and we can see if he makes it out of here alive."

[Semar]

"It's okay, go on and see if you can find the Ringleader, I'll be fine."

[Naraku, whispering to the team]

As they begin to back away Semar begins to approach, tossing their weapons over and leaving Naraku's strapped to his back. The team exits with a barrel facing them down, and the doors locked behind them.

"Do you think Naraku will be okay?"

[Crystal]

"I'm not sure, but with the doors locked there's nothing we can do from here." [Twilight]

"I hope he sees what I left then."

[Obitiga]

"Left?"

[Twilight]

"I left him 3 potions near the door. Near where we exited in that cell."

[Obitiga]

"Great!"

[Crystal]

"Yeah, hopefully they will help him stay alive long enough no matter what."

[Obitiga]

"Yeah, hopefully."

[Twilight]

"Where do we head next then?"

[Crystal]

"Well the closest of the buildings is the middle one."

[Twilight]

"Do you think we will run into the Ringleader yet?"

[Obitiga]

"Maybe, with Semar being handled by Naraku that leaves two more Officials the Leader and one more. Hopefully they are just together."

[Twilight]
