Chereads / Blade of Amori / Chapter 7 - 7. Zoronox City

Chapter 7 - 7. Zoronox City

After the sudden attack on Inromia, and the struggle to find any survivors, Ezai was informed of another city just outside of Inromia that could use his help. Will this be the last destination before he figures out who brought Algori into chaos? Or Will this city be another dead end?.

"Ok, so this must be the city those two were talking about. This is Zoronox City. This seems likes a good city. A little bit run down though." Ezai said

After a few moments, Ezai was approached by the city's mayor, Alon Azores.

WELCOME!!! WELCOME TO ZORONOX CITY MY DEAR TRAVELER FRIEND. HOW'S IT GOING ON THERE IN THAT CITY OF INROMIA!!!!

- Ezai turns around -

"Inromia?, or yeah. The town was attacked abruptly but, I was able to take care of it. In doing so, two kind survivors pointed me in this direction to the city of Zoronox" Ezai said

"Attacked you say. My, my, I hope they will rebuild fast. Say, who are you exactly?" Alon asked

"Well to start off, I'm Ezai Morikoza, I'm currently working for the Head Office of Algori in search of something that was taken from the region of Amori as a hired Blade. Can't say more unfortunately." Ezai said

"I see, so if I may ask, how far have you come in this search of yours?" Alon asked

"Well, I got to this city, so I will say I've come farther than any other Blade sent before me." Ezai said

Alon looks down at his watch, he realizes he is running late for a meeting

"Oh no, it seems I'm running late, Well, like I said before, Welcome to Zoronox City, have fun here. Help out as much as you can if possible" Alon said

"Thanks, I will try to help who I can." Ezai said

"Great, got to go" Alon said as he leaves

"Alright, let's see what I can learn. I have to stay focus on the main objective at hand. Recover the Blade of Amori and find the gems. along with that, I have to take down whoever is responsible." Ezai said

Ezai walks around the city a while to see if anybody needed any help. He was able to find somebody in need

"Hey, would you like me to help you in any way?." Ezai asked

"Me? oh, yeah I could use a little help."

"Great, so what do you need help with" Ezai said

"Well, if you may, take my bucket over there and fill my water jugs. Recently the water has been disappearing and then coming back again. Never use to happen. If you could do that for me, thanks a lot"

"Alright, it seem simple enough" Ezai said

Ezai did just what the local resident asked him to do. It was a little straining since there wasn't as much water there. He reported back to the owner

"It's done, I got all the water jugs." Ezai said

"Thanks a lot. it would have taken me much longer. But now, I have a little extra time on my hands now. All thanks to you.

"Is there anything else I could do for you since I'm here" Ezai said

"Oh no, what you did for me was enough. Thanks though."

"Ok, guess I move on now" Ezai said

Ezai once again began to walk around the city a while to see if anybody needed any help. He was able to find somebody in need, this one was a little different than the last person.

"Hey, would you like me to help you in any way?." Ezai asked

"Me? oh, yeah I could use a little help."

"Great, so what do you need help with" Ezai said

"Walk over to that water well and pour water into it using that bucket, after that, pump water into the water jugs. bring the water jugs to the door."

"Alright, it seem simple enough" Ezai said

Ezai did just what the local resident asked him to do. It was a little straining since there wasn't as much water there. He reported back to the owner

"It's done, I got all the water jugs." Ezai said

"Thanks a lot. it would have taken me much longer. But now, I have a little extra time on my hands now. All thanks to you.

"Is there anything else I could do for you since I'm here" Ezai said

"Oh no, what you did for me was enough. Thanks though. By the way, why are you helping out? I mean, I don't remember seeing you around here before. So, why are you here?"

"Well, I'm here to look for information that could help me with my main objective" Ezai said

"What would that be if you don't mind me asking?"

"Well, I was hired by the Head Office of Algori as a Blade to find information about something that was taken from Amori. that's all I could say" Ezai said

"The Blades huh, well alright, that's all I wanted to ask you. Have a good day now. I hope you find what your looking for."

"Thanks" Ezai said

"Ok, guess I'll move on now" Ezai said

After his good deed in the city of Zoronox, Ezai decided to take a little break, after the break was over, a mysterious person attacked Ezai out of nowhere

"HEY MAN, WATCH IT!!!" Ezai screamed at the mysterious person

The mysterious person grunted, as he takes out a dagger and ran at Ezai

"What's wrong, I can help you" Ezai said

The mysterious person begin swinging at Ezai, he managed to get a few cuts onto Ezai's arm as Ezai jumps back

"AAAHHH!!!, DAMN YOU!!!!!!" Ezai screamed

The mysterious person grunted again but this time, he spoke

"GIVE IT TO ME!!!!, I NEED IT!!!!!!!!"

"What are you talking about, give you what" Ezai said confusingly

"THE GEMS!!!!!, GIVE ME THE GGEEEMMMMSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"So that's what this is about, well, sorry to tell you, that can't happen" Ezai said as he wraps a bandage around his wound

The mysterious person didn't like that answer, he grunted once more, this time he took out a different dagger he was carrying, this dagger seemed to be enhanced, because of all the engravements on it.

In a matter of seconds, the person placed the dagger to his forehead as he closed his eyes

"What's this about" Ezai wondered

The mysterious person continues by slitting both wrists as he poured blood on the dagger. Soon after, he puts the dagger to his forehead again, then quickly stabs it into his chest. When he was ready to open his eyes again, it was a purplish grey color. It would seem like he is now enhanced.

"Ok, time to get serious" Ezai said

"FEEDDING TIME!!!!!!!!!!"

The mysterious person dashed at Ezai, as he swung the enhanced blade at him, Ezai dodged the violent attack, as he punched the mysterious being in his face knocking him on the floor. Ezai then, jumped on a chair nearby as he stomped on the mysterious person on the floor. He coughed up a little blood.

"I don't know who you are or why you want these gems, but you are not getting them" Ezai said

The mysterious person jumped up from the floor, and sliced Ezai in the face as he spins in a circular motion, he stabbed Ezai right in his chest as he coughed up blood

"AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" Ezai screamed in pain

The City dwellers began to scream and panic

"OH NO WHAT'S GOING ON!!!!!!!!"

"SOMEBODY HELP US!!!!!!!!"

After 5 minutes of Ezai being on the floor, the mysterious person found a chair, he climbed it, as he was getting ready to jump to attack Ezai further

"AAIIIMM!!!!!!!!

FFIIIRREEE!!!!!!!!!!"

{BANG!!!!!!!}

In the blink of an eye, a red laser came from a far as it blown apart the mysterious person's head. There was so much blood that it covered Ezai's face.

"Getting soft are we now"

As Ezai wiped the blood from his face, he looked over to see who helped him out. He was surprised to see who it was.

"Arvin, it's you, thanks for saving me back there. But, I had it under controll" Ezai said

"WWHHAAAT!!!!!!!, EZAI MORIZOKA SAYING THANK YOU??!, excuse me. This mission has changed you my friend. It really did." Arvin said

"Yeah well, why are you here." Ezai asked

"It changed you alright, but not that much. Anyway, I'm here to give you important information on the situation of the mission your on regarding the Blade of Amori." Arvin said

"I'm open to new information." Ezai said

"Yes well, I'm glad to hear it because the timing is perfect you see. That person that just attacked you is apart of this information I have for you." Arvin said

"Go on" Ezai said

"Well, whoever is behind this invasion of Algori, is surly doing a good job. Because, they keep sending these mysterious people all over Algori looking for gems to make Gem Guardians" Arvin said

"WHAT!!!!!!!, REALLY!!!!!!!" Ezai said in shock

"Oh yeah, it's not just Amori anymore, perhaps, because "they" know the Head Office sent you on the case, so they are trying to throw us off, by sending these mysterious people to attack cities.

Maybe, what they are trying to do is, overload the Head Office in a way they can't send anymore Blades." Arvin said

"What are you saying?" Ezai wondered

"Well my words to you is, just focus on your mission and do hurry. I mean, come back alive of course, but hurry." Arvin said

"Ok....., You know I'm the best. Which means I will come back. Don't worry about me Arvin. Tell Head Master that I'm fine and don't need any help." Ezai said

"Oh wow, I really like this new you Ezai, keep it up will you." Arvin said

"Oh yes, It almost slipped my mind. The main reason why I'm here in Zoronox City, is I was researching, but also, I was given these by the Head Master to give you. He said to give these to you, and tell him to use them against who was responsible. He demanded that you used them all" Arvin said

"What are they. Now I'm curious" Ezai wondered

- Arvin gave Ezai a bag -

- Ezai took the bag, and looked inside -

"These are new and improved Specialized Enhancement Gems, these babies, was especially made for the Blade of Algori, they are compatible with the original set of gems so make sure to use them all" Arvin said

"Wow, thanks, I will use these" Ezai said

"Well, it was good to see you my friend, be safe and get Algori back to how it was. I'll stay here since I have more research here." Arvin explained

" Ok, no problem, see you" Ezai said

- Arvin walks away -

"What's wrong with the sky, it's really cloudy?" Ezai wondered

Suddenly, it started to rain heavily, it was so intense the wind gust was blowing people around a little bit.

Ezai began to walk towards the area to where the rain was the most intense, and where the rain intensity was increasing, it eventually lead him to the outskirts of Zoronox City and into a large field.

"This is odd, this is the only area where it is not raining?, It's a little cold, but it's alright, hmm" Ezai wondered

EZAII!!!!!!!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE, YOUR A BLADE ARE YOU NOT!!!!!!, YOUR TRESPASSING!!!! LEAVE NOW!!!!
