As I was running away, the Chimera started chasing after me. I ran faster. Taurus aren't fast but their strong. As I was running away, I stumbled on some debris and when I was ready to run again the Taurus had descended on me. A shot to it's side sent it flying away. I stood still and saw William holding a machine gun.
"Run for it!!" He ordered me but something's wrong with my left leg and when I look at it it's obviously broken.
"Arata!!" I heard William shout my name before the Taurus descended on me.
I braced myself for the attack when I saw William in front of me, blocking the attack. He took the full blunt of the attack. A blast sent the Taurus flying and a hammer soon followed. The beast lie far off now either dead or unable to move but I pray it's the earlier.
William collapsed beside me, he coughed up blood and I layed his head on my lap. One look and I knew that the thing must've damaged his body heavily. He takes slowly heavy breathes as I caress his head. Silent tears drip down my face and down unto his.
"A-Arata. A-are you... alright?" He asked as he breathed heavily.
"I-I'm fine!!" I answered my voice unsteady. "Hang on, just hang in there okay?"
"Sorry... even my abilty can't heal this." Zhen said and he then looked down in disappointment.
"..." My voice trembled thinking that William was about to die, I can't even say a word.
"It's alright... I was prepared for this..." He said and caressed my face with his hand. "I'm glad... I could protect you... till the end."
"N-no." I begged. "No, don't go!!"
Suddenly, a golden light engulfed the two of us. Slowly, William's wounds started to heal. I could see his face starting to look better, the pain being relieved. When the light had fully dissipated his injuries fully healed.
Suddenly, on his right hand, something appeared, a single circle around it a ring and on the ring, a single small kite shape appeared. On my wrist, the same mark appeared but mine had eight small kites surrounding the small circle or should I call it a rose?
"What just happened?" Alexis asked and then the ground trembled again and the Tuarus stood up.
"Ask questions later, we have to kill that Taurus now." Liam said.
Just then, William stood up and held his gun aiming at the Taurus charging for us.
"Will you're too injured to use your power!!" Andrew said.
"Says who?" He said and pulled the trigger.
A large blast of light shoots out from the gun and obliterates the Taurus in one go. William turns around and hugs me tightly.
"H-how is he still alright?!" Ethan asked in disbelief .
"I don't know either." William answered and just then other students joined us.
"Will you alright?" A guy with messy orange hair, light brown skin and orange eyes asked as he landed on our side.
"Yeah. I'm fine." He said.
"Captain Hiro, the area has been cleared." Reinhardt said.
"My name is Hiro Greenhill, Brave of Arrows. I'm the Captain of Dragoon." He said and offered me a hand. I see, a Captain of a Sect. They're groups of Braves often comprised of nine or more Braves that fight in a team to subdue a Chimera. "Will, Andrew and I all go way back."
"I'm his younger brother, Arata." I said and took his outstretched hand.
We went back and as we were walking I felt dizzy for some reason and my eyesight goes hazy. I grip William's shoulder as I feel my sense of balance failing me.
"Arata?" William's arm wrap around me. "Something wrong?"
"I feel... dizzy for some reason..." I answered.
"Up we go." He carries me up on his back. "You comfortable?"
"Yeah.. " I answered as I hugged his neck. "I'm going to close my eyes... and try to get some rest okay?"
"Go on. I'll carry you back like this." He answered.
As he carried me back, my mind started to feel hazy and I could feel the desire of sleep sweeping over me so I give in and fall asleep.
The next time I open my eyes, I'm in my room. A worried mom and dad with the gang standing watching over me.
"Mom?" I asked my voice was hoarse.
"Arata! Thank goodness your awake!" Mom cried as she hugged dad. Dad hugged mom tightly as relief flooded his face.
"What happened?" I asked. My body feels heavy, really heavy.
"You passed out while Will was carrying you. You had us worried." Andrew said.
"It appears as though you had an Awakening." Liam said as he fixed his glasses.
"Congratulations." Reinhardt said.
"So, what kind of Brave are you?" Zhen asked excitedly.
Braves that awaken will know what their power is. If I did have an Awakening I would know what my power is but all I feel is a splitting headache and bam! It's as if somebody hit me. No one has of course. But the pains so real I have to close my eyes and the next thing I feel is a splitting headache. Then some things pass througg my mind and I learn the name power of my Brave.
"Brave of the Sacred Flower..." The words left my mouth without my consent.
"Oh? That's what you are?" Alexis asked. "So what kind of ability do you have?"
"I don't know. My mind feels fuzzy..." I answered and another thing passes my mind clearly. "William, can I see your hand?"
"Sure." He handed me his hand and the mark there was ever present and so was the one on mine.
"What are these marks I wonder?" Mom said. "They don't belong to anything I've read about."
"They're Brave Marks alright. But it doesn't make sense since William is already the Brave of Guns." Dad said and I saw William flinch for a second.
"Willam. Did something happen to your Title?" I asked.
"What? No." He answered and I knew he was lying because the moment after he bit his lip slightly. It's unnoticeable unless you've been watching him like I have.
"Show me your Brave Mark!!" I exclaimed and he protested. "Andrew, Liam."
"Okay!" They answered.
The two pinned William down on the bed and pulled his shirt up to reveal the Brave Mark which was a gun on William's right upper back was gone.
