Crackkk!
Thunder rained down-
Straight at the Heroes from another world.
Smoke dust and debris-
People started running around-
Chaos-
"Who would be stupid enough?" Maria mumbled.
A bit of her clothe singed- otherwise perfectly unharmed.
"Axel-" A breath- cutting through the smoke a young man jumped on top of them- spiraling down with his sword.
Clang!
Sparks!
Alfred blocked him with his axe- standing-
His feet dug down a bit into the road but he just stood there-
"What are you trying to do, kid?" he said.
"Kill you for your crimes. You destroyed my village!" Spiraling midair- the young man swung swiftly- crashing his feet down Alfred's torso-
Thud!
Dust went flying-
The man didn't bother blocking- he just stood there- taking the hit.
Like a steel tank-
But after taking the hit- he grabbed the young man's feet- "I see- my condolences." And nailed him down like a hammer-
On the ground-
Splattering-
His head-
Blood spilling everywhere-
Yet- the young man- the man just glared- some broken teeth- breath hectic- yet glaring.
"Still conscious? Very well- Get up-" Alfred said, letting his feet go. "Or you can't?"
"Oh, he looks delicious-" Maria said-
"Yeah, not bad. I wouldn't mind having him myself-" Marcus grinned.
"Stay out of this-" Alfred took out both his axes. Cracked his neck, grinned- eyes bloodshot.
And the young man?
He got up-
Glowing blue-
An aura- of blue.
Evaporating like mist-
And though he didn't have a shield- he still held his sword in one hand- and posed like he had one. "I will kill you-" For someone who seemed to be on the verge of death, he was oddly calm. Eyes sharp- glare intensifying. "I 'will' kill you."
"Bring it-"
"ARGGHHH!!!!" Roaring- the young man swung vertically!
Slosh-
Yet-
His right hand-
Just fell off.
"AGHHHH!!!" Screaming- he stared at his bleeding arm- eyes leaking- picking up the sword with his left- glaring up-
A swing and a miss!
Cluck-
He fell back down-
Leaking-
Blood.
Red-
Blood.
Alfred no longer grinning- put his axes back. "What a disappointment." He walked back- "You can have him if you want to-" He'd lost interest.
Maria shrugged. "I'd love to but he's probably not going to live long- and I'm not really a fan of blood play."
"I am-" Marcus grinned- taking a step but- "Oh- Only level 11?" A snort- and a hand on his chin. "He made you use both hands with just that?" Mouth opening- a lick of his lips-
"What? 11?" Alfred paused. "You're serious?"
"No doubt-" Marcus took a step forward-
"Please-" A girl begged, quickly moving closer to the young man. "Please- spare him- he's lost everything. Everyone- please don't take him." A white robe- face covered-
"I'm sorry little girl but-" Marcus smiled- definitely not going to give up-
But-
Now that he looked carefully-
The two were gone- leaving behind some afterimages-
And then- just-
The blood-
They were just gone…
"Maria, do a reverse trace-" Marcus said- glaring. "I'm gonna kill those two. But that boy-" Grin resurfacing.
"We don't time." She smiled. "And it's DeMaria- Marc…" her tone went thicker with each word.
"If he's really 11 and that glare was no lie-" Alfred's face lit up for a second. "We'll see him again. Besides, wouldn't you want to see him last a bit longer?"
A mild chuckle. "Alright- but- next time he shows up- he's all mine."
"There you go-" Maria shrugged. "Creating problems for the future."
And though normally they would have destroyed the whole town-
They didn't.
After all-
Now they had a reason to keep this place intact…
