Chapter 22 - Games

"Is she going to be okay?" Arkus ask depressed look on his face, "she'll be fine. Trust me." Celine smiles patting his head, before frowning at her thought, 'Are you really going to be okay?...Please be okay.' A knock is heard from the front door. "Who? It's already this late…" She muttered, she look at Arkus, "stay there." She said before going downstairs.

"This seems…used recently." Zeolite said examining the transportation spells. "Her blood's new. The smells. She also has a really faint beat." Senov said while holding the granny wrist. "I see. When did she was killed, what's your prediction?" Zeolite ask, "about…20 minutes ago. We've arrived 10 minutes ago. Gap between 10 minutes. The killer must be around." Senov reply taking off his gloves. "Good one." Zeolite said impressed. "Why thank you." Senov said flattered.

"Umm…what is that?" Ashley ask pointing outside the shop. Outside the shop. Stands a beast army. "Do they know we're here?" Senov ask, "I think…Yes they do." Zeolite said quickly unsheathed his sword, the beasts jump in through the window. "Another butts to kick, hell yeah!" Ashley cheered stretching her hands.

"Tsk, such a waste." Senov clicked his tongue, pulling his guns from it cases. "GRAA!!!" The beasts shout rushing at them. Senov shots them in their heads, they instantly dies. But more is coming. "Ora!" Ashley shout slamming her fists down, ice shoot up from the ground, stabbing the beasts.

"Haaa!!!" Hector shout slamming his swords down at the cloaked figures. "What?! How is he here?!" Cloaked figure 1 shout panicking, "don't panic you loser!" Cloaked figure 2 said angrily. "I've heard. You two are the one casting the necklace spells. If you two want to go smoothly. Dispel the necklace. Now." Hector said glaring at them. "Why should us? We won't listen to you lowly class." Cloaked figure 1 mocks.

"Man, why do people always picks the hard way. Senjou!" Hector grinned, bullets then rain down at them, as Cloaked figure 2 quickly casts a shield. "Retreat. The Sniper is here." He said running away, the other one quickly follows him, "Come back here!" Hector shout running after them.

"Pretty good Ranked 2!" Blake said impressed, she launch another thunders at Akane, "Whoops." Akane said while dodging the thunders, "Is that all you got?" Akane taunts running at her, "don't get cocky Ranked 2!" Blake shout thunders strikes down at Akane.

"So close, yet so far." Akane said standing behind her, "how?!" Blake shout turning around, "secret!" Akane snickered holding out a peace sign. "…" Blake face show unamused face, again, how can she joke around with her enemy.

"Hello miss." Xander smiles sweetly at Celine. "Um, what can I do for you?" Celine ask, "can I meet someone named Theresa?" Xander ask his eyes gazing at her hazel eyes, "Theresa? I'm sorry. She's not able to go anywhere right now." Celine said feeling something odd from him. "Doesn't matter. We can take care of that. Now can you step away?" Xander ask his smiles didn't leave his face.

But Celine shakes her head, and stares at him, "Something seems fishy about you sir. Coming at this hours, and what is the purpose of asking Theresa? You must know something about this!" Celine said grabbing her dagger from her back pocket. "Too bad miss. You can just hand her harmlessly." Xander chuckle covering his face with his cap, before a grins forms on his face.

Zeolite swings his sword at the enemy behind him is Ashley, she is punching the enemies, she swipes her left hand up, ice spikes goes up from the ground stabbing the beasts. "Attempt escaping, successful! Can you two handle this?" Senov ask while shooting the beasts. "We can!" Ashley said kicking the beasts. "Yeah!" Zeolite reply punching the beast head.

"Good. I have to check Theresa house, something feels not right. We'll meet again in the central." Senov said before running off to Theresa house.

"Senjou! Did you see them?" Hector ask through his communication device, "Yep! They're heading to the central." Senjou said preparing her sniper, "Alright! Command me to got there!" Hector said, "Aye-aye, leave it to me!" Senjou reply, a tiny magic circle appeared in her eyes, zooming to where the two cloaked figures is, before changing to where Hector is.

"Alright, just follow the road. Then go left." Senjou said before blinking her eyes a couple times, the side effects is working. "I'm sorry. Give me a little times." Senjou said turning off her communication device, "Just follow the road huh?" Hector mumble.

"Hee…this seems fun." Commander D said watching at the games Blake making, "Not bad Blake. Not bad. I hope you did a great job on your own games." He smiles and continue to watch the games. "It would be a shame if you lost at your own games Blake." He grins, his bangs covered his eyes.

"Ugh!" Celine grunts, Xander just throws her to the wall, creating a craters. "My, my, are you tired miss?" Xander smiles holding her chin up, "shut up you joker!" Celine yelled kicking his foot. "Ouch! Xander grunts, Celine quickly rolled to the side, taking a defensive stance.

"You got some power." Xander smirks, "You thinks I'm just a mere little girl?" Celine ask taunting him, "Nope! I've already know who you are! Celine Agathe." Xander smiles fixing hid tie, "how'd you know my name?" Celine ask surprised, "I've know everything! Even your parents! Oops. Too much spoilers." He chuckle, "What? My parents?" Celine ask clueless. "Yep! What you want to know?" Xander ask a malicious smiles on his face.

"I-I do…" Celine said completely let her guard down. "Well, well, too bad! You let your guard down!" Xander said choking her, he raise her up as Celine struggles, "stop struggling." Xander smirks, gripping her neck tighter, Celine gasped, out of breath. A bullet then flies in front of his eyes.

"Let go of her." Senov said glaring at him, holding his guns up. "Ohoho, another one. Senov Senji, a professional engineer." Xander smirks dropping her down. "What? You know me?" Senov ask gripping on his guns tightly, "Of course! I know every single of you human being!" Xander laugh, before fake coughing and return to his usual gentleman self.

"What the hell? That's creepy." Senov said totally creeped out, "Prepare yourself. Senov." Xander said smiling with his eyes closed.
