Chapter 217 - Chapter 217 Zetallion ambush

Sam began to walk away as he said "I don't really know what a girl that size is doing or why your wearing such a ridiculous outfit, but for the time being you should stick with me." Thomas paused for a moment and sadly mumbled "Thats twice someone said that my tail and ears were just a ridiculous outfit." Poppy glanced at him and said "Just forget about it, if he thought or begins to think they are real he'll likely kill you thinking your a zetallion." Thomas sighed and said "But he didn't have to criticize them." Poppy leaned over and whispered "Just ignore him I'm sure there are dozens of people who will disagree with his claim." Sam glanced at them and asked "What are you two talking about we need to get a move on before more of them show up." As Sam turned around he pulled his sword from the ground and said "Change of plans they're already here." As around ten of them crawled out of the ground and surrounded them Thomas looked around and asked "Do they normally hide underground?" Sam glanced at him and said "No, these ones were after one of our failed experiments to find where they originated." The man smiled and said "After a few seismic quakes we figured out they were underground but we could never trace its exact location, so we took a shot in the dark and sent two of our men to search for it." Thomas glared at the creatures and said "Then these things must've killed those two, right?" Sam nodded and said "Your right, their pulses hit zero, I originally came out here hoping that it wasn't true and was searching for signs of their survival, but instead I found you." The man glanced at Thomas and Poppy as he said "I already lost two men today I refuse to lose any more." Thomas scratched the back of his head and said "I don't know if either of us count as human." Poppy nervously stared at Thomas and asked "Why would you tell him that?" Sam laughed and said "Trying to comfort me when we're likely to die, I respect that." Thomas held his hand up to one of the creatures and said "But we're seriously not human." Poppy glanced at Thomas and said "Be quiet he doesn't need to know that, and put down your hand he doesn't need to know about that either." Thomas lowered his hand and asked "Then what am I suppose to do I lost my sword when that bastard king arrested me." As one of the creatures began to dash towards them Sam shouted "Now isn't the time for bickering, either stand up and fight or run for the hills take your pick." Thomas stepped out in front of Sam and shrugged as he said "Poppy I don't really see your point in all of this but if I don't use everything at my disposal now I might regret it later." Thomas held his hand up to the creature and smiled as he said "I've decided." As a giant shard of ice came out of his hand the creature ran straight into the shape end and killed itself by shoving the ice sickle through its own throat. The creature fell to the ground and died almost immediately as Thomas said "I'm gonna put an end to these creatures for you." Thomas glanced at the man and said "In the mean time I'll be relying on you to show me the ropes of this world." Sam set there confused as he said "You really aren't human?" Thomas nodded and said "I tried to tell you that." The man pointed to his tail and said "Then that's real?" Thomas nodded and said "Yes and I'd appreciate it if you didn't call it a ridiculous get up, I take great pride in my tail." As another one of the creatures jumped into the air towards them Thomas glared at it and said "Beat it I'm the middle of a conversation." As a few mana balls appeared around it Thomas snapped and watched as it exploded. Thomas glanced around at the other creatures and said "You know what we won't be able to talk until I get rid of them all." As another hundred or so mana orbs surrounded all of the creatures Thomas smiled and said "I'll just deal with them quickly." The explosions began to surround them as Poppy glanced at him and said "Stop that's too much your just wasting mana." Thomas glanced at Poppy and said "It's not a waste I'm just making sure there's nothing left of them." As all of the dust and smoke cleared Sam looked around and shouted "What the hell are you!" Thomas shrugged and said "Your guess is as good as mine, well that's not true but I'd rather not say." The man got onto the ground and bowed as he said "If you really can put an end to all this, please do it or at least try your best to." Thomas yawned and said "Get off the ground I really don't need to be known as a sadist here to." Poppy nodded and said "You have a fair point, if anyone seen him begging you they might get some weird thoughts about you and what you do to others." Sam stood up and said "Of course, my dearest condolences." Thomas sighed and said "Just act normally, stop switching up your character, and use smaller words I mean seriously who's gonna understand you when you use those big words." Poppy glanced at Thomas and said "But that word isn't very complex." Thomas glanced at her and said "I'd prefer to keep it simple." Sam nodded and stood up straight with his arm by his sides as he saluted and said "Alright then I'll act normally." Thomas stared at him and said "You know what just forget it." Thomas pointed to him and said "You were going somewhere before right, bring me there." Sam nodded and said "Of course, follow me I'm sure everyone will be thrilled to have someone like you working with us." Poppy stared at Sam and said "If you can will you please keep it a secret that neither of us are human." Sam nodded and said "Of course if I told everyone that you weren't it might cause unnecessary distractions from our operations." Sam turned around and began to walk as he said "Follow me, I know how to get there." Thomas sighed and said "I can already tell that this guy is gonna be annoying." Once they arrived to a metal wall Sam shouted "Hey I'm back!" A woman leaned over the wall and said "Your gonna get yourself killed if you keep taking these field missions." Sam smiled and said "Well don't worry about that, I found two new recruits." She glanced at Thomas and said "That's clearly one." Poppy glanced at Thomas and asked "Do you think it would be easier if I sat still and acted like a doll?" Thomas nodded and said "Let's just do that." Sam glanced back at the girl and said "Um never mind I meant to say one." The girl opened a door and said "Come on in, it ain't much but it's safer then out there with those things." Sam smiled and said "It's been a while since I've seen you." The girl glanced at Thomas and asked "What's the newbies name." Sam glanced at Thomas and said "Come to think of it I never asked." Thomas nodded and said "Come to think of it your right I never told you my name." Thomas smiled and pointed to himself with his thumb as he said "I'm Thomas nice to meet ya." The girl sighed and said "Just what we need another optimist." Sam glanced at her and said "What's wrong with being an optimist." She glared at him and said "Nothing but when the possibility of the optimist being anything like you it could be worrisome." She glanced at Thomas and said "No offense but whenever you have a pain in the neck like him running around playing hero you tend to worry quite a lot." Sam smiled and said "I can handle myself so stop worrying." The girl glanced at Thomas and said "Just ignore him and any of his plans, stay here and stay safe." As she walked away she said "I should be able to find you a change of clothes so you don't have to wear those ridiculous ears and tail." Thomas lightly slammed his head against the wall and mumbled "Its not ridiculous." Poppy whispered to him "Just go along with it, and by the way I've already thought of a way to find what they're looking for." Thomas glanced at her and asked "What's your plan?" Poppy sighed and said "You really are an idiot, you have a compass that can find whatever your looking for so long as you have mana." Thomas nodded and said "Your right, but shouldn't we hear them out first, what if there's different kinds of those things?" Poppy nodded and said "Of course I wasn't about to recommend fighting them all right now, we need more of a plan." Sam stared at them and whispered "You guys should keep it down what if people start thinking not normal." Thomas glanced at him and said "My bad, we were just discussing something." Sam nodded and said "That's fine but we should head to headquarters to discuss things further."
