Chereads / New World: Beginning Saga / Chapter 12 - Shadows Mask

Chapter 12 - Shadows Mask

Early the next morning a small ship docked in Molognia and two people got off of it. "Damn, are you sure they came here, Philia?" Shinzo asked Philia.

"100 percent." She told him.

hey walked through the town asking around to see if anyone had seen a suspicious group of people.

"It doesn't seem like anyone has seen them," Shinzo said.

"Sadly yes, it seems like that, but there was that talk of some break-ins and murder recently," Philia said clearly upset.

"Yuu where are you?!" Kamio yelled out as he walked through the streets of Molognia.

'Damnit where could she have gone.' Kamio thought.

"You know, I'm quite surprised that Irima hasn't come to welcome us or anything," Shinzo said to Philia.

"She might not know we're here," Philia responded.

"Then let's go see her," Shinzo said.

Yuu stood at the dock staring out at the river that she and Kamio just finished crossing.

'Should I just turn myself in, I have no actual reason to continue fighting against the government towers.' Yuu thought to herself.

Yuu started to walk back into the town when a loud explosion was heard in the distance. "What the hell!" Yuu yelled.

"That came from the shopping area!" Yuu started running towards where the explosion came from.

"Damn, that was a lot more noise than I had hoped for." The man in black cloth said as he was jumping onto the roof of a building.

He was about to jump to the next roof when a gust of wind came down in front of him slicing the area. "So you're the criminal I was hearing about earlier." Someone said from behind him.

He turned around and saw two elites standing there. "Hmph, who are you two?" He asked the elites.

"Like we'd tell a criminal our names!" Shinzo yelled at the man in black.

"Why don't you tell us your name," Philia asked the man.

"My name? I'm Shadows Mask." The man told them.

"Ok then Shadows Mask, you are under arrest. I would like to ask that you come with us quietly." Philia said to Shadows Mask.

"Hmph, I've come this far. I'm not going to end it so suddenly!" He shouted as he ran at Shinzo and punched him in the gut, knocking him off of the roof.

"Damn it!" Philia said as she tried to jab Shadows mask, but he dodged it and countered with a kick to her stomach.

Philia fell back and skidded across the roof and stopped at the edge. "Ha Ha, You both are supposed to be elites?! Don't make me laugh!" He yelled at both of them.

He walked over to Philia and kicked her off the building. "That hubris is going to be your downfall," Shinzo said as he tackled Shadows Mask off of the roof.

They both hit the ground with a hard impact, Shinzo rolled into the side of a building, but Shadows Mask landed on his feet. Philia jumped at him from an alley she was hiding in and kicked him in the head, disturbing his center of balance. "Damn, guess I can't hold back against you two!"

Yuu ran through the streets on her way to where she heard that explosion. She ran for about ten minutes before slowing to a stop. "Why am I still trying to fight? I have no more reason to." She said slowly.

"Big sis, what should I do?"

-3 years ago-

A young woman with long brown hair ran through alleys with a young girl with silver, grey, hair following close behind, the older one opened a sewer hatch and jumped in while holding the young girl, she closed the hatch behind them. "Are you ok, Yuu?" The older one asked.

"Yeah, big sis." Young Yuu said.

"Good let's go," Yuuki said as they started to walk through the sewers.

They came out into a small room. "Ah, home sweet home," Yuuki said while stretching her arms.

"Hey, big sis?" Yuuki turned to face her little sister.

"Yeah, what is it?" Yuu walked up to Yuuki and looked up to her.

"Why were those men after us?" Yuu asked her.

Yuuki looked down at her and crouched down to her height. "They want you." Yuuki told the little Yuu.

Yuu looked at her with a confused expression. "What does that mean?"

Yuuki sighed, "You have a special power, Yuu. They will always come after you, so you will always have to fight for your freedom."

-Present-

"Freedom?" Yuu said to herself.

"So I do have a reason to fight the government!" Yuu yelled out in the empty street.

"Damn!" Philia yelled as she was thrown into a building.

"Will no one give me a challenge!?" Shadows Mask Yelled.

"I will not fail!" Philia yelled as she started towards Shadows Mask.

"He-he. Come at me!"
