I went back to reality and my surroundings are shaking, there's a putrid smell of gasoline and dirt. My back hurts because of the metal floor, I sat up and looked around the area, I'm inside a vehicle and we're moving very fast. I yawned as wiped my teary eyes with my bandaged arms which have been replaced with some new ones so the bandages are clean. The interior of the vehicle was big and there was a ceiling covering and a door to the back, this is probably what they called a "van". I overheard some people talking, a mix of male and female voices.
"H-hi?"
"Tarus, your awake!" spoke Cherri
"You've been sleeping so much!" declared Lilly
"I'm getting worried, is Tarus really fine? He's been sleeping so much these past few weeks..." mumbled Mandy
"Oh your finally awake kid!" exclaimed Gleesh
"Taaaaaruuuuuuuuuus!" shouted Denzo
"What's going on?! Where are we?"
"Little Tarus relax, were visiting the other titleholders."
"O-oh...guess I'm just exhausted."
"That's what you get for being the hero every time!"
"Oh, I guess someone annoying is back!"
"HUUUUH?!"
"You're always getting on my nerves!"
"While you're always making my blood boil!" we headbutted as usual while I'm still covered in bandages
"Well, it seems your fine if you're that mad at him." the cool-mannered Zeksis sat in front of us with his younger brother Nile.
"Z-Zeksis! T-then who's dealing with the Catalina Kingdom?"
"The other 6 shining chief generals are dealing with the kingdom, what's important right now is that we meet the other titleholders or the other 5 deadly sins."
"Tarus you should sleep again, we won't be there in a few hours." I'm surprised that I heard the voice of Ellaine
"Firs- Ellaine?! What the hell are you doing here?!"
"I have a responsibility to take care of my little sister of course!"
"O-oh okay..."
There's an awkward atmosphere right now so everyone just sat down in silence and did their own thing. I found a vacant seat near the back portion so I sat down on the soft leather chair with some soft stuffing. I'm covered in wounds and bandages as usual but most of my major wounds have probably been healed by Cherri but she's not strong enough yet to heal every wound. I wished I could heal myself with the white flames but it doesn't work for me somehow....do I consider myself as an enemy? I dozed off for a while resting my worn-out body and mind. A few hours passed and thunder woke me up because of the loud boom. There was a huge storm raging outside and the temperature dropped by a bit which made the interior of the vehicle even colder because there was this thing called "AC" or "Airconditioner" which somehow flowed in cold air for us. The thunder roared as each one struck the bald dessert outside. The others were asleep and they don't seem to be bothered by the chaos occurring outside.
"SHIT! STOP THE VEHICLE!" I ordered the driver who appears to be Sandra
"QUICKLY STOP THE VEHICLE!"
"Y-YES!"
"CORROSION!"
I made a hole small enough for my body to go through and I readied the Nemax and the shield of prejudice. I got up to the roof of the car and cold raindrops drenched my whole body and the wind doesn't really help. I unsheathed the Nemax from the shield and I covered myself with the shield facing up into the sky. I used the white forcefield thing that activated somehow and as an extra precaution, I'm prepared to use the Hammurabi code for extra protection.
"EVERYONE! BE PREPARED TO PROTECT YOURSELVES! I MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO COVER FOR ALL OF YOU!"
"THERE YOU GO AGAIN BEING THE HERO!"
"SHUT UP WILL YOU?!"
"YOU TWO THIS IS NO TIME TO ARGUE!"
"IT'S GONNA BE HERE IN A FEW SECONDS!"
My heart is racing, I started shaking, I'm nervous and anxious, I'm afraid...I'm filled with so much regret...I don't know what to do but right now I need to resolve! The humungous roaring thunder fell from the heavens and it struck the force field and went straight for the shield as I blocked its path. The code of Hammurabi was useless as it just spurted thunder back which just made the thunder even stronger as it raged even more. I had to force the transformation quickly as I wouldn't last long with just base strength and power. The thunder won't go away even though a few seconds already passed and its output just becomes stronger as the seconds pass by. It got even heavier and the roof of the van wouldn't hold.
"EVERYONE QUICKLY GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE! THERE'S NO STOP TO THIS BASTARD!"
They swiftly jumped out of the vehicle as it got crushed immediately under the weight. I gritted my teeth and felt like my whole body was going to burst into pieces. The shield of prejudice began to grow in size with the loud sound of trumpets being blown. What the hell is wrong with these trumpets?! The shield finally finished expanding and it's at least 10x its size which made it even heavier. I remembered something whilst holding the shield, Cherri, Ellaine, Lilly, and Mandy were kidnapped a few days ago....why did they just suddenly appear again?! The ones present right now are probably frauds! I have to gamble right now to see if the fake ones are real. I shrunk the shield and I went out of the way and the thunder strikes the ground and it caused a massive explosion so big and fiery, the heatwave sent me flying through the air and when I checked for the fake ones they just stood there near the explosion site and suddenly collapsed to the ground. The thunder finally stopped and as I got back up from the ground two silhouettes were visible, one short and one tall person. They got near me and I didn't expect it to be Gleesh and Denzo.
"Yo Tarus!"
"GLEESH, DENZO! EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED!"
"Oh, we didn't do anything about that."
"Yeah, we just watched from afar."
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!"
"Seriously you need to calm down."
"You surpassed our expectations!"
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU EVEN TWO TALKING ABOUT? EXPECTATIONS? THEN WILL YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!"
"Little Tarus you need to calm down!"
"Big sister Agnes! What's even going on?!"
"Wow, he barks at me like a dog then when Agnes comes he's like an angel to her. Talk about favoritism..."
"Your really annoying Gleesh!"
"Oh my there seems to be a party here, is it just me or am I uninvited?"
A woman about big sister Agnes's height walked through the smoke. She's wearing some rather revealing clothes that I don't even want to talk about. She waved her fan on her right hand and her hair was a long silky black.
"Oh my, who might this little boy be?"
A smile formed on her face and she licked her lips....oh no.
