Chereads / The Leviathan: Malice's Return / Chapter 19 - The Shades

Chapter 19 - The Shades

Hera: Emma! Get over here.

Emma: Hera! What's happening, why did the clocktower explode!?

Hera: The police aren't real police, the real ones are with Ryker right now.

Emma: What? How-

Hera: That's not our concern right now. We haven't gotten the younger students to the bunker yet, that's our top priority so let's go.

Emma: But Kiyoshi nee-

Hera: Yasu is already with him, we all have a job so lets do it.

Emma: I-eh, Right let's go.

The youngest students at the University were 12-13 yrs of age and only capable of up to Intermediate magic leaving them almost defenseless against the Leviathan and his faithful followers. The two Girls ran as fast as they could down to the bottom floor of the school where the students under 14 were supposed to gather in case of emergency.

Hera: Hey! Everybody Follow Emma and I to the bunker entrance now. This is an emergency.

Crowd:...

Hera: I SAID NOW! Let's move it, the Leviathan is here.

Hearing that the Leviathan was attacking was more than enough to get most of the students moving out of pure panic. Hera and Emma lead the students down a back hall towards the bunker entrance and as they arrive...

Hera: Alright everybody enter in an organized manner, please avoid rushing inside. This did nothing and the students being students just ran in without ever listening to her.

Hera: Damn kids.

Emma: You're a kid still too you know.

Student: Hera, What's happening at the clocktower.

Hera: Everything is fine, we will handle the situation ok, don't any of you worry.

Student: Ok, Be Safe and Live Strong!

Hera: Same to you.

???: So THIS is where you scurried off to Ms. Mizuki.

Hera: Emma, stay behind me and protect the kids, this is going to get messy.

Emma: I can help, just say the word.

Hera: No, they need you more than I do.

Emma runs back towards the bunker entrance and puts up a poorly prepared Earth barrier.

Hera: So, it looks like you're still a bit mad about the barrier?

Shade: Well you could say that, it certainly does put a halt in our plans.

Hera: Good, I hope it does. So, would you mind telling me who you are? Or are we not close enough for that.

Shade: I am one of Duke Estrea's faithful servants.

Hera: So, what do you "faithful followers" call yourselves?

Shade: We are the "Shades". And YOU are in my way, I wouldn't want to inconvenience my lord while he deals with one of your knights so I'll be "handling" you and your peers.

Hera: Like hell you will!

Preparing for combat Hera bursts into full power, again, covering herself with a deep blue aura. In response to this the Shade does nothing but draw a sword with his right and light a FireBall with his left.

Shade: Hmm hehehe, hahahah oh yes you are going to be so much fun. My lord truly does grace me with such an amazing test of Virtue.

Hera: The hell are you rambling on about Now! HAAAA

Drawing her own sword, Hera rushes toward her opponent as the hall explodes with light from the FireBall.
