Leon landed in a market place almost breaking the ground. It was raining heavily and he had landed in a marketplace, he looked around and all the people had pushed themselves into the stores staring at him with fear and just moved forward in his black trench coat heading for a grocery store that was labelled NOIR.
The bell chimed as he stepped into the store, the lights began to flicker as the loud noise of the rain pouring increased. There was a man on the counter counting through cash as he put it in his register, "We are closed the man."
said without looking at him. "Really, August not even for an old friend."
He stopped counting once he heard that name and grew a wide smile the moment he looked at Leon, "Oh my god! Leon." he disappeared from the counter and appeared in front of Leon giving him a tough hug."
August was half-elf the other part being human, he had green eyes which was his only elven feature the rest looking like an ordinary bald, brown, slightly tall British man with a very dark moustache on his face.
What brings you here old friend he asked with so much excitement, Well am looking for something that can break a life bond between a dead man and his servants."( he was referring to Jordan and Kendall)
"A life bond.....I have never done something like that or know how to but it doesn't mean I won't try. Do you happen to know the spell itself?"
"No, but I was in his office before it was cleaned out and I found this." he pulled out a bundle of papers from the pocket within the trench-coat words they had strange words written on them that he couldn't interpret, then handed them into August's hand who picked his round reading glasses and put them on so that he could see better then started looking through the papers.
"Mmmm…..mmmm..." August nodded as he read through,
"What does it say?" Leon was curious.
"First of all, it's in elven language. The oldest one moreover. And second is that It talks about...…the chaos awakening and what it may mean for all the remaining worlds," he continued to read through, "it says that the one with chaos can either be good or evil depending on what the holder wants after the trials."
"The trials. What trials?" Leon moved closer to August who was shocked by what he read, "Oh no...…."
'What…..what… about the trails" Leon continued to ask.
"Who was the owner of these papers." August turned to him with an extensive look of fear on his face.
"It was for a college professor but he's dead now." Leon said, "Well if what I have read here is authentic we need to stop chaos from awakening because the professor is connected to chaos but weakly if a chaos lord awakens-"
"Then all the chaos lords connection grows stronger including his since he died human.", "Affirmative, right now if Scarlet is in transition she must be going through the trials of chaos to see if she is worthy of the power. We need to go to them now but first let me close the store." he ran to the door and flipped the open sign to close then quickly grabbed a small stick that was on the counter. Leon laughed after seeing the stick, "I see you still carry your magical twig."
"Laugh all you want this is the last piece of celestial magic in the entire cosmos stronger than any other weapon on this world forged by the late gods themselves before being vanquished by their offspring." he bragged proudly about his wand as they both head for the exit.
Leon heard something and stopped, "Wait..." he stopped August from reaching the glass door. August sensed it too and waved his stick forming a barrier around the store before rapid gunfire aiming for them happened. They both jumped down under the counter as the bullets began to break through the barrier and the store's glass doors and windows of the store.
There was silence for a second before they heard multiple footsteps as they ran in stepping on the broken glass.
"Spread out..they can't be that far." commanded one of the men.
Leon and August were still under the counter. Leon trying to think how they could escape if those bullets broke through a magical barrier then they must have been not normal at all. But August was fired up and excited and it gave him an idea, '"Hey August can you make a lightning from that thing." he pointed at the stick. August just looked at him and waved the stick making tiny sparks of blue lightning, "Does that answer your question?" Leon just stared at him with nothing to say, my greatest assumption is that they're around five to seven men with arms strong enough to hurt us meaning they were targeting me from the start."
And you are insinuating?
"That you jump out and create lightning strikes that hit those men giving us time and space to teleport out of here," he explained, August sighed and jumped out of the counter screaming elvish words as he waved his stick vigorously forming blasts of lightning that threw the men out of the store the moment it struck. He rushed and followed Leon to the back door so that they teleport from the parking lot at the back of the store. More men ran in as they shot at the two of them, Leon formed a barrier then gave them enough time to leave the store and escape from the back.
On reaching the parking lot Leon was surprised to see Walker who was standing from a distance. He put the pieces together and that it had been walker who sent in the men to kill them, "This was you wasn't it?" he yelled furiously.
"I sent my men to kill the half-elf and draw you out." Walker sounded calmer than usual, his eyes had turned black and he gave off the, most insane amount of energy Leon had ever felt. August quickly waved his stick and summoned vines from the ground that immediately covered Walker trying to constrict him to death.
Leon put his hand on the stick and shouted "Stop! You are going to kill him August."
"don't you feel that sinister darkness in him there is no way but death," he said without taking his eyes off the vines covering Walker. They exploded as he flew out of them by force and landed swiftly on the ground. Leon looked at walker and sensed the dark aura that was coming from him, his legs felt lose the closer he moved.
August moved forward and formed a fire dragon by just waving his hand that he sent flying directly for walker following a huge impact on hitting him almost destroying the entire parking area. The smoke cleared and multiple lightning strikes from the sky hit Walker so hard that he screamed in pain. After that, he faced August with so much anger then charged for him but Leon teleported him away causing Walker to miss. Walker threw the first punch that Leon dodged easily thanks to his super-fast reflexes.
"I know I am a pacifist but this I have to do." He summoned a flaming sword that appeared in his right arm as he took a battle stance. Against walker.
Without holding back he jumped directly for Walker who disappeared the moment he swung the sword hence slamming into the ground. He looked around to spot where he had vanished to. He felt a heavy push from his back that threw him across the entire parking lot dropping his sword and disappearing. Walker's new strength was unbelievable it had been long ever since he felt pain.
Walker laughed and flew towards him forming a shadow-like sword from his left arm, "This is called power Leon…. this is how you die." Leon stood up and laughed
"Am just getting fired up." his eyes were now golden as his sword reappeared
