Smoke covered the entire village by the time Roman and I got there. The forest was easier to navigate since the mist was gone. Some parts of the village were eradicated and some parts were in minimal damage.
The S-Class lander was the biggest one I'd ever seen in my entire life. Just looking at it makes you wanna run. Liz and Sukai were down, but they weren't hurt. We saw them resting next to a blue kiosk.
"You guys okay?" I asked as we hurried towards them.
"Sure took your time didn't ya," Sukai said. She was breathing so fast and heavily. She had a little cut over on her forehead. Not deep enough to leave a scar though.
"Big brother is fighting it all by himself," Liz tried to catch up with her breath. "He'll get exhausted if it keeps going on,"
"Guys, look," Roman pointed at Insunya standing on top of the lander. He had no fear. As I squinted my eyes and looked closely, he was grinning.
"Is he smiling?" I mumble.
"Smiling?"
He ran across the lander, slicing it left and right with his scythe. He knew what he was doing, and he wasn't even using most of his power.
"He's holding back against an S-class?" Roman noticed also.
"Let's go help him out," I say as we run towards the gigantic figure. The body keeps telling me to stop and ran away from it, but I don't want to run. Because running isn't an option when there are lives at risk.
"Glad to see you guys didn't die," Insunya shouts to me as soon as he noticed me.
'Hold up. If Roman and I defeated the ordel controlling the S-class, shouldn't the lander die or retreat? '
Unless the ordel didn't summon it. He was too weak to control an S-class in the first place.
"What do you want us to do?" I ask.
"Wear it down as much as you can," He commands.
"Why not just kill it?" Roman asks.
"It's not as easy as you think, a regular bind or a device isn't going to be strong enough to pierce through the cores."
"Cores? As in it has multiple cores?"
Insunya nodded.
The lander swung its metallic hands at us, but we were fast enough to dodge it.
"Right now, I'm building up orizambi for a technique. So wearing it down as our only choice."
The Lander screeched as purple flames came from it, forcing Insunya to get down.
"Guess it's mad now," Insunya said. He still had a calm look on his face.
"You think this lander is attacking from its own will?" I ask.
Insunya shrugged. "I don't know,"
"This S-class is weaker than the others I fought before," Insunya said. "Also it has used up a lot of orizambi recently, so either it was taken from it or it's been fighting,"
Insunya yawned.
He's yawning? In the middle of a battle?
"You're suffering from the inside, let me take you out of your misery," Insunya spoke up to the lander.
Insunya turned to Liz.
"Hey, can you freeze this part for me," Insunya drew a little circle on the ground.
"Sure," Liz says as she freezes the circle.
"I need you guys to distract it for me," Insunya says.
"Right,"
I slice through its metallic skin.
"Fire Bind- Inflammation," -Reid-
"Ice control,"- Liz.
We keep on attacking it, but it barely damages it.
Insunya was quiet for a while, "I'm ready, move out the way,"
Insunya touches to ice.
"Shinrai style secret arts- decomposition"
The ice melts into water that seems to be getting bigger and bigger.
"Water bind secret arts- Water Dragon Destroyer,"
The water twirls around in the air.
"ROARRR," Insunya's water dragon roared as it headed straight.
"Water dragon style; perfect cut,"
The Lander was sliced into pieces.
The hell was that move, he's gotta teach me that.
Insunya fell on his knees, then collapsed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few hours passed and the villagers returned. We gave them the crystal the lander dropped so they can rebuild their village. We also told them to call the school if they wanted any help with Landers. Insunya woke up, but he could barely still walk. The villagers told us where the bandits were, Me, Liz and Sukai offered to go after them.
They barely gave us any fight after they realized that we took down that S-class. They promised to leave the village.
We returned back to Lyziel and Insunya was recovering well. He'd earned my respect and loyalty today. He might be a lazy bum, but he is strong as hell. This low stamina is his only downside, or else he'd be on a different level than he already is.
I checked my phone and saw a couple of missed calls for Bell. I called her back.
"Hey, Bell,"
"Everything okay? I was worried you know."
"It's all good here,"
"Where are you right now?"
"Lyzeil,"
"Why are...wait, so have you seen Jane?"
"Yeah...and you were right, she wasn't mad at me,"
"Well of course not, she can never be angry with the man she loves,"
"There you go again,"
"Who throws their life away for a stranger?"
"How are you doing," I change the subject.
"I'm fine, training is a bit hard though, I've also been hearing rumors about a tournament, apparently all the first years are participating,"
"A tourney huh, sounds fun,"
"Don't expect me to go easy on you alright," Bell laughs.
"Same here,"
I heard murmurs in the background.
"Inita wants to know when you guys will be coming back, she was worried when you weren't calling back.
"I WAS WORRIED ABOUT LIZ, SUKAI, AND ROMAN, NOT THE RAT," Inita screamed in the background.
"Insunya is recovering right now, he drained most of his orizambi making a release. And I doubt he can walk to get a train to the district. Likely we'll be here for a while."
"Loves wants to know what release he did, and sounds good,"
"A water dragon destroyer, I think it's an S-class technique,"
"Give the phone to him right now," Love screamed into my eyes.
I handed the phone to Insunya,
"Sorry," I whispered.
Love kept shouting into Insunyas ears.
"No, you don't need to come here, and I'm alright. We'll be there tomorrow morning alright." Insunya gave me a stank eye.
It seemed she calmed down a bit.
"Yeah, everyone is all right, yes I've been eating properly, I promise to get enough sleep too,"
"Bye, love you too Love," Insunya chuckled.
Oh lord.
He then handed me the phone.
"Love is pretty upset, what did he release the water dragon on?"
"An S-class lander?"
"Wait seriously, I thought you were fighting bandits,"
"Got a little complicated, Insunya is amazing though,"
"Yeah, I've heard. Alright got to go Red, tell me all about it later alright,"
"Sure, later,"
I hung up.
