"I wish I could've gone with him" sulked Sako, her sad feet in the lake - hanging down and wet, like tears the water helped her feet cry, a childish antic but cute.
"But it's Master's command to have me look after you guys" she reprimanded her previous wish, talking to Lucy and Pay, Sako realized and felt pride in her assigned mission, for a servant's only wish is to obey the master.
Elone and the twins were off on their own about's, the grounds for the lines for the peropero were in need of constant vigilance.
The western Halhazar - the air there was filled with intense pressure and all seemed to welcomed death, two colours readied for a bloody feud, Blues with their righteous dignity stood as an anti venom for the venomous Blacks. However, the cry for a charge, - nay - even the twitch of the muscles for it, succumbed and halted for the shout of thrill echoing from the sky. All eyes on the dot in the sky, the scream of thrills - of heartthrob excitement fell closer and louder by the second.
Not a move from either colour, all paused in curiosity for what's coming.
Then they heard - loud shouts much clearer but more nonsensical, "WOOOOOO~" goes the shout, what fell wasn't rocks or any lifeless organisms, it looked human to the eyes of the -Colours of Blues and Blacks - but only for a mere second did they heard the 'wooo', only a slight glimpse of the thing which fell, for it or they crashed and left a crater deep - right in between the standing two forces, all!, heard the loud thud for a moment with some rubbles after effects, what followed after was joyous laughter of pure thrill and hunger for more and right after they heard - talks- from the crater, "Woooo~~ addicted" said Szlick, he did his -joy- dance.
"Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh! I'm hyped" said Lu, their faces filled with pure joy, enjoyed they did the thrill of the speed and the fall.
"By the way... " Szlick pointed upwards, "Did you see the guys up there?"
"Meh! I gave my all on the fun, didn't see nothing" answered Lu.
"Let's have a see.. shall we?" asked Szlick ready to pop out of the crater.
"I'm really going to be impressed, if we landed right on the fun zone" Lu then jumped out of the crater, followed by Szlick.
The two jumped out right in the middle of the intense stare down, but all eyes were on them at the moment, Lu turned his head with a facial expression that reeks of a madman with a sinister grin, "Woah! Szlick that's the captain from Hotspurs!" he said, seeing Bartholomew.
"Yeah!.. Oh hi Captain, remember us?" Szlick asked.
The Blues and Black in awe, from this sight, two kids nigh adults fell from the sky unharmed and carefree at that.
"It's you guys!!" said a surprised Bartholomew.
"It's Al... Al!!! Remember me?" yelled Lu at Al, who was surprised and his memory of the strength Lu had, now he felt at ease a bit.
"SZLICK MOTHERFUCKING JAHGGER!!" a voice of pure menace was let out.
Szlick turned and seek the head of who just spoke his delicious name. His eyes on the Blues searching, and their he find his unwanted hunter - Wadu with a face of anger.
"I'm sorry uncle!" Szlick apologizes immediately.
"Sorry?? Wait till I'm done with this fuckers" Wadu still on his comedic anger.
"Read the atmosphere uncle, we're on war here" said Szlick, with a sweat, he seemed to respect Wadu enough to apologize.
"Uncle! Bart! You know them?" asked a heavily confused Azuri.
"Now's not the time for this, lucky timing asshole!" said Wadu, in annoyance for Szlick's appearance.
"Quite a show" Gagadoh Grey let out his strict voice from behind the duo.
Lu turned around, his pitch black eyes, assessed them all.
"What you looking at punk?" asked the Black ripper with the bear trap power.
Lu looked dead straight at the talking Black, but without a word, he ignored the man further pushing his anger and continued looking around, searching for something amidst the piles of Blacks.
Szlick on the other hand went to Azuri and explained his situation with Wadu. All in all, all who were present were in a state of confusion from the two's magnificently unorthodox arrival and the situation they've put them all in, a further awkward stand still.
"Oy fucker, don't you dare ignore me" said the bear trap ripper, who now looked like he has lost it.
But Lu with a clap which jolted all of the colours -Blues and blacks- putting each of them on guard, Lu turned his head towards the Blues and asked, "So who got the most bounty?" his thumb pointing towards the Blacks.
"Bounty?" asked Azuri, her brows raised in slight confusion.
"He meant who's the strongest" Szlick near Azuri, explained Lu's intentions.
"Azu that guy's strong, believe me" said Bart, his determined face now sighed a deep relief.
"The one eye!!" amidst the Blues, Al spoke out, he pointed at the general. Al's face holds the expression of vengeance being served cold.
Then Lu turned again, towards the Blacks.
"Ooo boy, get ready!" Szlick knows an ignition for action is at hand.
Azuri and the rest of the soldiers, confused but seeing Bartholomew and Al were on a stance, they followed suit.
"So? One eye.. Make my buddies rich" still with the madman grin, Lu spoke words of confusion for the Blacks.
"Lieutenant! If I may let no one charge but simply let them stand their ground and enjoy the show" said Szlick.
Then again Bartholomew complied, making Azuri nod in agreement.
The General was - too - put in a trance, confusion was all around.
"Gimme the loot" said Lu, skipping in place - in the middle of the two forces, the star of the show, all eyes on the shirtless kid.
"Let's go!" he shouted and he instantly charges towards the General, catching everyone in surprise with the sudden speed - slower compared to the charge at Ratan - Lu ran up at him, one versus many.
"Men stand your ground, no one is to charge" commanded Azuri.
The General in the front of the massive army, sneered at the charging kid, with a wave of the hand - thick wall of Metal seemingly sprouted out of the ground and some metal spikes erupted from his back.
What happened just after was a sight of disbelief to almost all the eyes present in the skirmish.
A single charge from a shirtless kid to the General and his thick Metal wall, result yielded a punch from Lu which tore through the wall, in a split of a second the general masterfully controlled the metal spikes and the remaining Metal from the wall - which all moves instant fast but failed in binding Lu, his eye wide open he realized his defeat - to the Blacks astonishment Lu landed a direct straight punch whilst charging - the general, strong as he was, died in an instant - his corpse lay headless in replacement for the head was Lu's fist in the ground with a slight dent - Lu's punch blew his head into smithereens, the -near- blacks of the bloody punch, grabbed on the feeling of horror as they stepped back from the smiling Lu, some ran from the scene, a horrific experience to even shook up a seasoned soldier.
"Easy motherfucker!" Lu yelled, his face show no remorse but a simple grin.
"So-strong" remarked Azuri.
The Blacks now were met with mixed emotions in the masses, some infuriated whilst some thought - to flee. The Blues were all in awe, as the strongest of their foe met his end in a second.
The Bear trap ripper now anger consumed, his violent eyes now meets nothing but Lu. He lets out a roar and thrusted his palms on the ground, a giant Bear trap sprout and clamped at Lu, Lu however, wasn't even on guard, he further ignored the Bear trap ripper - waving the corpse of the general at the Blues - "Look out!" yelled Lufeng at Lu - the bear trap clamped but to all's disbelief the sharp deadly steel like tooth of the trap broke - Still Lu without a notice - intentional maybe, just stood and waved the corpse - grabbing it by the arm.
"M-monster!" they all shout, Blues and Blacks aloud, but both with different tones.
"Retreat!" yelled the Meteor ripper.
"Fuck retreat, gimme the loot!" said Lu, he in a moments breathe stood right at his face and punched a clean yet bloody hole in his guts.
A bloody one man massacre was at hand, Szlick knows all too well, the feeling of Lu's habits in fights, to Lu it's life or death - a beast in the wild, if it's not him it's them - mentality, once an enemy is preyed on it's death, although Lu distinguished foe and enemy the problem was holding back. Szlick feared for Lu's reputation, so he yelled, "Charge now!" without him being in command but the thrill of the bigger enemy losing focus and in a panic, drives the soldier to grasp that slim chance of a victory-so charge they did, Azuri and Bartholomew as well as Wadu and Hothor saw through Szlick's intentions - however, they complied cause this beast was not to be feared but to be used well and cared for deeply, like a child with a cry that kills instantly - that was then their views - their statement on Lu took place - An ally of immense strength, a beast of pure wild nature but easily drive-able - they adhered to Szlick's unspoken intention.
Like ants with their nest destroyed, the Blacks ran amok, in a panic - "it's every man for himself" they could barely speak.
The Blacks of Sloan, to the Blues they sure looked more like mercenaries, for an army fights as one even in retreat or defeat.
The chance the Blues took was favourable, winds, fires, ice and more elements and strange magic - content being jelly, sound-waves and various beast like transformations befell Halhazar, the soldiers of Arienne wiped out nearly two thirds of the Sloans.
The Sloans now on the mindset of everyone for themselves, they make their way to the narrow pathway.
On reaching the pathway, Lieutenant Azuri commands, "Everyone stop! cease your attacks, we have won" she yelled, Victory was decisively theirs, she avoided further needless bloodshed and by the looks she gave Lu and then Szlick - the latter concluded that, - there a lesson intended for Lu to learn from the resounding Azuri's command.
The Skirmish of Halhazar, Sloans and Ariennes which was the first in years, ended with Arienne's total Victory and the death of a feared, powerful general, the name of Lu and Szlick and the first consistent yelling of "Fun Inc." whilst leaving a massive pile of bloody trails was now slowly known, legends of Lu's lackluster explosive fighting, now - arisen, and one though not far off exaggeration was told - the tale of Lu of smiles from the sky wrecking down four hundred Blacks in not longer than an instant.
