[squad 6]
Isaiah stood outside the barracks waiting for captain Silva to send him off. He waited for a good 30 minutes before his father appeared. "Sorry I'm late I had to deal with work" Captain Silva said. "Isaiah you've been assigned this D ranked mission, you get to skip three ranks due to your performance in the academy." He said proudly. "Are you ready for this." He asks, walking towards his son.
"I've been waiting 12 years for this moment, I'm ready father." Isaiah says with a slight nod. "With you I have assigned Reina." He says as he gestures her to come from behind him. A girl with short blonde hair wearing a red worrier dress along side what seemed to be a knife on her right side. She greets Isaiah and introduced herself. "I'm Reina Ki," "I'm Isaiah Silva." "Nice to meet you" they both said at the same time.
She looked at Isaiah and noticed two hatchets on both his sides. The captain dismissed both of them, as they embark on their journey."What are they for?" Reina asked out of the blue. Isaiah looked at her confused. "The two hatchets on your sides? You a logger or something?" She asked. "Oh no these are my weapons" Isaiah answered. "Weapons? Ha I've seen some strange things, yet I never once seen someone use hatchets as weapons." Reina sneakers. "Well there's a first for every thing I guess." Isaiah says as they continue of their silent journey.
[Outskirts of Viper Nation.]
Reina and Isaiah set camp along the road as the sun had begun to set. "So Reina" Isaiah said breaking the silence. "You're from the Ki clan right." He asked. She nodded as a response. "Other than my family I haven't really interacted much with nobles, making you the first noble outside my family I have actually had a conversation with." He said. "I'm honored that the great Isaiah who never said a word to any other noble actually spoke to me." Reina mocked.
A little chuckle exited Isaiah's mouth. He smiled and gave her a signal with his eyes. "I know" she says looking at him. Arrows flew to the floor as they both vanished. The fire they had set up had been extinguished. The culprit of the attack finally showed his face. The attacker was a boy that looked a little older than Isaiah. He held his hand out as if he was aiming with a bow and an arrow. Using his Vibe energy he manifested a purple bow alongside a long sharp arrow.
"Die" he says as he fired it off to Isaiah. Isaiah conjured two hatchets in his hands rather than using the ones on his sides. He put the two hatchets infront of him to block the incoming attack. "Scatter" the boy says. The arrow that was aiming at Isaiah suddenly split into multiple tiny arrows. 'What the hell.' Isaiah thought. The arrows all bounce around the surrounding trees as they try to hit Isaiah. Isaiah dodged them with flips, while deflecting them his vibe hatchets.
'Something like this is very easy to fend myself but, he's conjuring another one.' He thought as he looked at the boy firing another arrow. 'If the numbers increase I won't be able to fend them all off, Fuck.' He thought as he braces himself for impact. "Vibe Technique, Manipulative, Current." Reina says as the purple arrows that were targeting Isaiah stopped in place. They had a blue hue on them now.
"Since you want to kill my teammate, how bout you suffer the same fate." She said to him bitterly. The arrows all turn away from Isaiah and towards him. "Impressive, I see that the squads still haven't lost their touch in the recent years. The boy finally says. "Oh so you can speak." Isaiah said with a sarcastic tone. "Does this feeble creature here speak for you?" He asks Reina.
"No I am quite sure I speak for myself." She said as she walks towards him. She reaches in for a hug as his bow disappears. He returned the hug and said. "It's good to see you again Reina." "It's good to see your still alive and kicking Henry" Reina replied. "So where's everyone else?" She asked. "Things are a bit complicated. You see, a lot happened these past few years." Henry said.
"Well you can tell us on the way of our journey im sure the Silva brother would be pleased to hear." Reina said. "Silva? wait do you mean to tell me that boy is The…." "Don't say it." Reina says cutting him short. "You know the captain doesn't want us talking bout "him" especially in-front of the Son." Reina reminded.
"What are you all talking about?" Isaiah asked. "Nothing important, don't worry about it, we have ground to cover let's be on our way." Reina said. Henry decided to tag along with the duo as they head to the destroyed town.
Isaiah, Reina and Henry finally made it to their destination after a few hours of awkward conversations and silence. Casted upon them was the site of destruction. Nearly everything about the town had been completely wrecked. The flames scattered all around, forming a hellish barrier. "How are we supposed to pass through here?" Henry asked. Isaiah was about to try something, however Reina interfered.
"Vibe technique, verdant orb." Reina said. The flames that once terrorized the remains were suddenly swallowed by a green orb that floated on Reina's palm. "That should do it, now then shall we go on" she says. Isaiah and Henry we're bewildered by Reina's ability. Henry's known her for years, but this was the first time he saw her true capabilities. They venture into the town and we're shocked on the amount of damage done. "This is horrible." Isaiah says.
They stumble upon multiple rotten corpses along side a multitude of personal belongings. " this is so heart breaking to watch, so many innocent lives lost, for the sake of what?" Reina questioned. "I guess the answer is up there," Henry replied, pointing to one of the houses. A circle with it's circumference made out of writings was drawn with the bloods of the civilians.
"The blood is dry, it's been sitting out here for days." Henry said. Isaiah and Reina took a closer look at the writings. "They seem to be in a foreign language, can anyone translate." Isaiah asked looking at the others. They both shook their heads. "Sigh we'll we just have to decode it some how when we get back to the nation." Isaiah said. "A man who doesn't believe in "them" will accomplish nothing." A man said coming out of the alley way.
He had a glowing blue eyes, and wore a large coat covering his whole body along side a hood over his head. His hand had blue glowing tattoos on them.
"Identify yourself." Isaiah demanded as he conjured his hatchets. "Who are you?" Reina asked. "I won't ask again." She demanded. "Woah woah easy there sweetheart." He taunted. "I'm just telling you what those words meant." He said with a grin. "So you understand what the writings say, good now we have a suspect." She replied. "Woah woah, relax just because I understand what that means doesn't make me the bad guy, infact I think I saw them running right of me." The figure said. "We don't have time for your jokes." Henry says. "Chill out let's take sometime and cool, okay?" He taunted some more.
The trio became agitated. "I've had enough of this." Henry said. He conjured his bow and aimed it at the cloaked figure who had just sat down and made himself comfortable. "Don't mock me." Henry says. "If your intention was to kill me, you would have done it a long time ago." The cloaked man said. "Oh yeah? Wanna test that out?." Henry taunted. "Cmon do it, if you actually have brains, you would know in far too advanced to be killed by a boy who has never taste a drop of love from anyone." He insulted.
Henry lowered his bow in shock. "I bet you're wondering how I know that." He says. "A man who doesn't believe in "Them" will accomplish nothing." He says once more. He raised his bow again and shot at him. The arrow made contact with surface just inches away from the cloaked man's face. The arrow seemed to stop, but it was stopped by what seemed to be a reflective surface. The man simply waved his hand to the right making the arrow go the same direction.
"well that was interesting." He says. The trio were bewildered that the the man infront of them easily deflected Henry's arrow. "Ok now that we understand." He stops. He raised his two hands then laid his palms flat on the floor. "Sit" he said. "The three fall to their behinds as if they were being pulled by gravity 10 times stronger than what it should be.
"Now then, let me introduce myself." He said with a menacing smile. "I'm Dr Shane, I'm part of a secret society of like minded individuals. Our goals are justified by "them", and with their blessings, no one will be able to stop us." The doctor blabbered. "Who is this "them" you keep talking about." Isaiah asked struggling to get up. "Oh finally your asking the real questions." Shane said with a smile. "Right now I'm about to tell you a history that the academy never told you. A tale from 200000 years ago. The tale of the first vibe user in the world."
