"Hey, did you just remember his name?" Frisk grabbed my shoulders
"Huh?"
(What are they talking about?)
With that, Frisk lets out a sigh and went back towards the table, then he tried to change the topic.
"Well, what are we going to do? Should we follow him?" Frisk points towards the map where Robert G'iere was heading.
"It's too soon, we should head there at night." Scarlet puts down her weapon on the table.
"Heading there at night is stealthy but the risks of losing him is up to 80%" Frisk argued.
"If you want to go after him now, then go, as long as I do it my way, then there won't be any problem." Scarlet packed up essential things on her pockets.
"There you go again, you really like taking risks, don't you?" Frisk scratched his head.
"Your plan is the one with more risks to take." Scarlet looked back at Frisk
"Well, yours isn't much different from mine too!" Frisk violently scratched his head.
The two are exchanging insults and other things to say when arguing.
"Well then how about you go both different ways?" I butted in.
"What?" The two of them looked at me.
"Well, I think it would work better if both plans were being done differently, Frisk can go right now, and Scarlet can go later. It seems to be a promising plan." I explained
"What are you trying to say?" Frisk asked
"You can go after him now Frisk, then we will go later, after you secured his position without being caught then you can share his location with us." I explained
Frisk was silent, probably thinking about it
"That was what I was trying to say." Scarlet lets out a big sigh.
"Well, that doesn't sound too bad." Frisk smiled.
"Well then, I should go collect things I can use." Frisk went in towards the safe house.
(I'm glad I thought of that plan)
"Why do you keep following me?" Scarlet crossed her arms
"Following you?" I asked
"Yeah, it seemed like you are spending half of your missions with me." Scarlet explained
"Is it something that has to do with the 8th Deathbringers?"
"No, not at all!" I strongly denied it.
(Sometimes, having tangled with other people is rather dangerous)
"I guess that must be it." Scarlet walked towards the balcony.
"There's nothing I can do at this point, the world is corrupted, and we can't do anything but kill." Scarlet voiced out her thoughts while looking at the setting sun.
"…" There was nothing I could say, but one thing was certain, my heart was pounding faster than before.
(Has she always been this alone?)
I can't say anything, and there was a long pause between the two of us.
"Has Frisk already left?" Scarlet walked towards the table.
"Yeah, that must be it." I looked back to see if Frisk was still there.
"Then we should prepare for our mission." Scarlet walked away.
I was left, standing alone on the balcony.
(I know, I feel it too)
(Don't let your guard down, if an enemy approaches, we can at least be prepared)
-----
"It is about time." I looked at Scarlet and she nodded.
The both of us went off the carriage and ran towards South-East
We used the telepathic spell to communicate with Frisk, but he doesn't seem to respond.
"Did something happen?" I asked Scarlet
"Based on what the situation has become, something really did happen." Scarlet and I climbed up to the robust trees.
"Watch out for merchants, they tend to use this path for shortcuts." Scarlet whispered
I nodded.
Some merchants really did pass by, but they don't seem to see us.
After a few moments of waiting, I asked Scarlet.
"Perhaps, we should advance further?" I asked
"Agreed."
We quietly landed on the ground and ran towards the nearest tree.
Again, we tried to communicate with Frisk through telepathy, but nothing happened.
"What the hell is happening?!" As soon as I let those words out, we heard footsteps nearby, approaching us.
Scarlet and I quietly climbed up the tree and witnessed the scenario happening below.
"!"
"The captain sure doesn't disappoint us when it comes to strategic plans huh."
*click*
Behind. There is someone behind.
I glanced at Scarlet, and she seems ready to engage but right now, that plan is too risky!
"Don't move." The man said, as he spoke, cigarettes can be smelled coming out from his mouth.
Suddenly, there was a cold tube being pointed on my nape, is it a gun?
"Yeah, it's a gun, specialized with four elements, I can shoot you with fire bullets, water bullets, wind, lightning and earth bullets."
(That's five elements…)
(What should we do now??)
(Damnit, I hate this situation, Scarlet is obviously marked, she can't move an inch.)
(A bit insulting but that's the truth, if we can pull it off then it has 50% chance to win)
The clock starts ticking, the gun is clicking, and my heart is pounding.
(If I don't move know, it'll be over)
(NOW!)
I yanked the man's arm where he aimed his gun at me, then slashed his neck. As soon as I started taking action, bullets started firing.
With this, Scarlet has gained momentum and time to kill these bastards.
The bullets were fired, BANG! , and there goes, one on the left!
I rushed towards my left side and spotted another man aiming a gun at us, at a different tree.
I broke his forearm and borrowed the gun, again, I listened to the sounds of gunshots, pinpointing where they were.
On the top!
I aimed the gun on the top side of the tree, I pulled the trigger, there was a BANG! and the man was falling down.
Again, I listened to other gunshots.
3 o' clock
I pulled the trigger and BANG!
Scarlet moved way swifter than before, she killed dozens of men with just a dagger.
We cleared the scene, there were no longer enemies left within the forest.
The sight is yet to be cleaned, it was gruesome, blood splattering on the trees, the bushes, and the flowers.
"How are we going to clean this scenario?" I looked at Scarlet.
"Leave it as it is. If they were to find out, they'd have to boggle their minds up." She walked away.
(I think they will be able to know in one look though)
We ran away from the scene and arrived at our destination.
It was guarded by other a massive number of warriors.
"Is Frisk being held captive in there?" I asked Scarlet, as we looked at the tall tower, it was dark, and its shadow is casted upon us.
"Most likely—"
"Hey you guys!!"
We both heard a soft shout and looked behind us, it was Frisk.
