Author's note: ( Would be nice if we could get more power stones. Support an upcoming author guys :)
Johan had just knocked out the second guard with a rock and right now he laid unconscious on the ground. The three boys on the ground knew they were certainly done for now. The way these people had handled the guards effortlessly gave them no hope of coming out of this ordeal unscathed But that didn't matter to one among the three and this was Orin. He was convinced he would die anyway because of how he felt right now. He was still jolting uncontrollably and had buckets of sweat pouring out of him.
"Hey!... Now would be a good time to earn yourselves a cure. Do you know anywhere out of here that we would encounter less guards?" Corey asked.
"Actually I can lead us out of here, but as for whether we don't encounter guards, well let's just say we have caused enough trouble for one day. They will be everywhere" Yang said. The others knew what he was saying was true as they themselves had a good idea just how much attention could be given to them now that the word was out that they had broken free.
"I think he is right. I don't think we can make it out of here without meeting some roadblocks. That aside, let's make the decision now as regards to Eiko's former plan". Blaze said. Rodney and Yang listening to what Blaze said, it didn't really make sense to them but the others had a good idea of what she was talking about.
" If it comes down to it, I think even Rodney would agree with me when I say you do what you have to do" Eiko said and this message although not straight forward, the others understand what he was implying exactly. And just then, they all turned to follow Yang who had taken the lead but then the boys on the floor called out to them.
"Hey, you aren't gonna leave us like this are you?" Tuffy asked.
"Yeah please just give us a cure. Even if its the same thing this guy is going through" Akira said referring to Orin who had now stopped twitching and looked to be asleep at the moment. The group looked at themselves for quite sometime until one of them decided to speak up.
"I think you should just cure them man. They pose no real threat to us and you know it" Erwin opened up and this came as a surprise to the others as they felt Erwin would definitely be the last person to advocate for these boys. Nonetheless surprises happen a lot and one of them was about to happen soon.
"I don't think its a good Idea to cure them. Look at all the damage only these three have caused. If there was a way, I would..." Mia stopped herself from saying but the others had a pretty good guess what she was about to say and once again, this switch in character was surprising them all as Mia had always appeared to be the nice loving type, which meant this boys must have gotten on her bad side. But then again. Some one else decided to reason things out with Mia.
"You know leaving them like this only matches your desire with theirs. You see, sometimes showing people kindness and the right way of doing things might not necessarily change them but it gives them an idea of what to begin with when they eventually decide to change" Yang said and right then Mia took a deep breathe and looked at Corey giving him a nod.
"Just so you know. I wasn't going to cure them either" Corey said to Mia so she wouldn't feel bad for feeling the way she did towards the boys. But without wasting time, he went back to the boys and touched each one of them for some seconds and left them joining back with the group as they made their way out of the cellar.
Not long after they left the cellar, the two boys Akira and Tuffy were already feeling the healing process Orin had gone through as well. And after a while, they had both passed out as well. But unfortunately for them, Orin was just coming around as at that moment. It didn't take too long before he regained consciousness fully and he did only one thing while still on the ground, look at the two lying down motionless .
"You two, you'd watch me die to save your own skin right?. You ratted me out like I was not somebody. I thought we were brothers and for the first time, you guys were the only ones I didn't see as tools. But as always expect disappointment like Yang would always say right?. I guess the road for us three ends here. But don't worry you will all be useful as tools that you are one last time" Orin said to the two sleeping boys and then got up and went to one part of the cellar.
After what sounded like a door was being opened and closed, he reappeared but not as he went as right now he had an object in his hand. It was a sword and because of the lights being turned on, the sword reflected some light back. He moved to were the boys laid still asleep and then began to say something again.
"I was going to use this to taunt them as well. I bet they thought they kept it safe. But oh well, I'll show them later. Why don't I introduce you to this first" Orin said and then raised the sword high above his head and swung down hard on the intended target and just like that Akira's head was already detached from his body and blood poured everywhere. He never saw what killed him but someone else was.
As Orin raised the sword up again, Tuffy was already gaining consciousness and just when he opened his eyed he saw a familiar face with blood stains and a stained sword raised above his head. Orin had pause mid swing as he saw that Tuffy had woken up. Tuffy turned to his side to see Akira's headless body then he turned back to Orin who still had the sword raised above his head and was about to say.
"No need. You were going to apologize isn't it. Well that's fine now, everything's fine now that you are awake. Now come on let's go get a job finished" Orin said and brought down the sword so fast that Tuffy had not even seen when he moved. But that wouldn't have made a difference anyway as that would have been the last thing the boy would have seen.
"Oh, I was talking to the sword. We have a job to complete" Orin said as he cleaned the blood off the sword using the cloth of a headless Tuffy. After he was done, he took one look at the two bodies and shook his head before leaving.
Meanwhile the group were currently making their way out of the underground cellar. And so far, all they had encountered were four guards of which they had dealt with quite easily. Now they were moving at a fast pace following Yang closely. He made a stop for the first time since they had been moving and even they were confused as he hadn't even done that when they approached the four guards from earlier on.
But after some standing and waiting, they knew why he had stopped as right now, about 50 guards were coming their way. And they didn't look like they were coming to arrest them and take them back to the cell as they had all rushed forward on spotting the legions and Yang.
"How did they get here so fast?" Blair asked
"And isn't this over kill?. I mean we are like what, ten and they brought this many to take us on?" Johan said.
"No not for us, for him" Rodney said and was looking at Yang when making this statement.
"Careful, the confidence they are coming at me with. They have a mix of range and close combat fighters. They can only be one unit this versatile and many, the B unit" Yang said and immediately charged in which in itself surprised Rodney as this was the first time he would see Yang doing the attacking first.
Before long, they began to see why Yang was taking this quite serious as arrows began to fly at them coming at incredible speeds. And this wasn't what scared the group the most, the arrows didn't look like normal arrows as they were made of fire and water elements rather than the usual item an arrow would be carved out of.
"They have powers!!" Blair said as he watched the spectacle before him. This was his first time seeing people other than Damien display their powers and he had every right to be worried.
"OK I see why Yang is taking them serious, Johan!.. do something!" Rodney said and immediately Johan got busy as he stomped on the ground hard and soon after an earth wall rose and blocked the legions view. Two seconds later and they Began to hear the sound of the impact the arrows made with the rock as it collided.
"Boom"..." Bang"..... Repeatedly..
And it didn't look like it was stopping as more were being fired at them consistently with only three seconds break in between. And then the worst happened as the earth wall began to show signs of cracks from taking all those attacks. The wall began to tear up and that was when the legions knew they were done for but then the two females in the group Mia and blaze looked at each other and immediately moved round the earth wall. At this moment all the others could do was watch and wonder what the girls had in mind.
