"She is dangerous. Don't be stupid, surround her." The ruffians' leader had gotten serious.
Some of the men held axes, the others swords. Their gazes turned grim and wary. They surrounded the young samurai girl.
"She is in danger." Nero guessed as she saw that these men were used to attacking in groups, using a military-looking formation.
"Should we help?" Choko asked a little apprehensively.
"Mm..." Nero thought. Then she stomped her foot on the ground and from her shadow Luna appeared. "Go and save her. Then run with her towards that temple."
With quick steps, Luna ran. Getting close, she howled.
"A wolf!" The Red Blade gang each wore a surprised expression but soon returned to normal. However, they underestimated Luna's speed as she easily passed them and reached the young samurai's side.
"Climb on!" Nero yelled through the crowd.
