Chereads / Tool Assassins / Chapter 15 - Exile

Chapter 15 - Exile

Enway is looking out of the shed, Zemeki is looking on from the clearings edge, in an instant the trees crush Unway and Red Band killing them both. Zemeki runs toward Unway crying "Unway!". "There's no way he could be dead, he's so good at everything" Zemeki removes the tree's covering Unway. Both Red Band and Unway are in gory pieces, it's hard to tell where one begins and the other ends. Enway rushes over too and sees the bodies. "It's all your fault!" cried Enway as he punched Zemeki "Why couldn't you just hide in the shed like he asked?" "I... I don't know, I couldn't move" "What kind of an answer is that?" Enway starts to choke out Zemeki, when the whole area becomes enveloped in a fog so thick you can only see 8 centimeters in front of you. "Next time we meet I'll kill you" said Enway letting go of Zemeki. Lightning strikes beside them spawning the blue dragon. As the blue dragon approached the bodies it looked almost as if he was breathing lightning. He examined the mess pulling out a fly insignia. "I'll need to have a word with the Crimson Watcher (the leader of the Death Seekers)".

The group gets escorted through dragons keep attracting gazes from those they pass by. They arrive in front of the blue dragon. "Those two can go" he mentions pointing at Ramui and Keem. "Why does Joey have to stay?" asks Ramui. "Who?" the dragon asked. "That would be me" Joey claims. "A talking tool" dragon responds "yay I bye that, go if you want, I don't care"

The younger Zemeki and Enway are teleported away into the dorms where other ninja's were gathered to hold a funeral. "We lost a promising ninja this day and to some a mentor figure" the dragon spoke "You all will have 2 hours to grieve before resuming combat training" Hob's whispers something in his ear. "Oh, but be careful when you do, theirs like a rabid animal or something in one of the rooms". Zemeki turns to see Enway miming slitting a throat. Zemeki runs to his room scared, he thinks about what happened to his bro Unway and how if only he had done something or ran into the shed, he thinks about training practice and all the ways Enway will try to murder Zemeki. Just when he's about to get on his bed he sees a rabid squirrel in the corner of the room, it lazily wanders around the place. Zemeki now remembers something Unway had said. "It can be good to hide, it can keep you safe, but sometimes the safer option is stop a situation before it becomes a threat... and yes that includes people". Zemeki pushes through his nerves and covers his eyes as the squirrel approaches pushing down a book case over the creature, killing it.

The dragon slides in his throne like chair so that his back is now on the seat "As you know you needed like 3000" "30,000" A'Duela corrects. "Yay, that, to reclaim your honor something" Zemeki nods "I don't have it though, so do what you need to do" "Naw, it turns out theirs another way to reclaim your honor" the dragon returns to sitting upright "you see there's this competition and like we need to make a good showing"

Zemeki grabs a knife from the weapon room and enters Enway's room attempting to kill him first. He readies his knife above Enway's face ready to ice him, but he starts to have doubts. Zemeki with his heart pounding mutters "this is stupid". Zemeki thought that if Enway was going to kill him it would be his fault for not following orders. Enway wakes up and yells "Zemeki!" Zemeki panics and drops the knife stabbing out Enways left eye. "HERE TO FINISH THE JOB!" Enway said furiously. Zemeki runs out of the room. A crowd gathers to observe the commotion. "THE FUCKER SHANKED MY EYE" yelled Enway. Hob's seeing what happened disappears in a puff of smoke appearing in front of the Blue Dragon relaying the info. Zemeki hides at the gateway out of Dragon's Keep. As he backs into a bush he bumps into the dragon behind him. "I'm very disappointed in you Zemeki, you are here bye banished from the wild claw clan" Zemeki runs out of the Dragons Keep never to return. The dragon fog teleports toward Zemeki once more "You can return once you reclaim your honor and for that..." he teleports away again. "Hey Hobs how much for that message chair" Hobs looks through a catalog "The ridiculously expensive one with all the things coming out of it" "30,000 credits sir". The dragon reappears in front of Zemeki "I'm going to need 30,000 credits"
