"HUUUHHHHH!?!??!"
Xavier exclaims
"Hihi."
Lucy giggles
"W-wait a second Lucy doesn't everyone here in the Oasis use the last name 'Grey'?!!"
A shook Xavier asks
"And what's with all that heir stuff???"
He says confused
"What's that supposed to even mean?!?"
He says as Lucy smiles at him
"…"
"B-Bey--"
("BAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!")
A gust of strong gust wind pushes Xavier back as Lucy is sent flying into the kebab stand!!!!!
"LU-LUCY!!"
Xavier shouts out after her as the dust rises!!!!
(sigh) "Seems I finally caught up to em."
A lazy voice cuts in!!!!
"Y-YOU!!!"
Xavier shouts as the dust clears revealing the lazy bastard from before!!!!
But wait!
Why does he have the same markings and glow that Lucy had in her (souls) form?!!!
(sighs) "Now then…"
Barry says
"LUCY!!!!"
Xavier shouts again!
"Time for round two."
"…"
"…"
("....")
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!BOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!
The sound of bombs going off all throughout the city continue!!!
Dealing with the bombs was one thing.
But now the invaders have made their way into the city!
Deciding now was the right time to wrap things up.
Their invaders have finally arrived!!!
-TWO HOURS AGO-
… [The Northern Entrance] …
"Uwaaa…."
"Why did the 'Damion' have to drag us all this way anyway."
A tall red-haired woman yawns in exhaustion walking to the front of an army of 300 all at the ready to move out!!!
"Hm…"
"Well that's for him to know really"
A dark skinned man with dreadlocks tied in a ponytail says in response!!!
Sitting on the sand at the head of the army staring out to the Oasis!!!
"I only came along for my 'prize'."
He says
"Your…. prize?"
The woman asks yawning again.
"Well of course."
The man responds smirking.
"I mean why else would i…"
"The Great Yasser Freid!!!"
He shouts jumping to his feet and pumping his fist into the air!
"Come to a backwater dump like this in the first place…"
He says his voice completely plain and unenthused as he falls back to the ground.
"The 'neutral zones' Oasis huh?"
The red haired lady says lazily
"Hm."
She yawns dropping her coat
"…"
"If it's that boring for you I guess I should call Jeremiah back so we can wrap this up huh?"
The woman says sitting on the ground knees drawn to her chest.
"That won't be necessary 'Leona'."
The man responds smirking.
"Hm?"
Leona exclaims before looking forward to the entrance of the Oasis.
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"Shrewd as ever I see…"
Leona says lazily
"Right?"
"Yasser."
She says looking to the dreadlocked man beside her who only smirks as he stares into the Oasis!!!
"…."
(yawns) "Well then…"
"Guess I should get to work too huh?"
She says unenthusiastically, standing up and drawing her gold plated grey coat over her shoulder.
"Hold on Leona."
Yasser says
"You're gonna wanna hear this too."
He says smirking
Leona stops and stares back to the gate!
And to the figure in black that approaches them!!!!
-THE PRESENT-
… ['Ursula's Kebab Stand'] ….
"LUCY!!!"
Xavier calls out
(sighs) "Oh…"
"Well would you look at that."
"You're still here too huh?"
Barry says facing the alley and Xavier!!
"TSK!"
Xavier clicks his tongue worried
"Wait. Wait. Wait!!"
"What just happened???"
He wonders
"Everything was fine just a while ago but that explosion…"
He thinks
"Did he really make that much damage with just a kick?!?"
Xavier ponders worried watching the scene
"What's going on with these crazy guys?!?"
"I-is this the power of (souls) too????"
Xavier thinks
"TCH!"
"No I don't have time to admire his handiwork right now."
Xavier thinks clicking his tongue
"LUCY!!!"
He shouts once more!
"C'MON LUCY GET UP!!"
He shouts
"YOU'RE ACTUALLY FINE RIGHT?"
He shouts
"YOU'RE NOT GONNA LET THIS SLEAZEBALL BEAT YOU RIGHT?!!?"
Xavier shouts after her
(sighs) "I would be more worried about myself if I was you little man."
Barry says walking towards Xavier.
"Aaaah…"
"Crap! Crap! Crap!!!"
"What do I do??"
Xavier thinks panicking
"Not only might Lucy be really hurt."
"But now the balding pervert's back!"
Xavier thinks in a panic slowly moving backwards.
(sighs) "See, this place…"
Barry says
"This place holds no interest to me."
He says
"This just felt like the biggest chore when I was assigned to this mission."
He says continuing towards Xavier.
"If anything I found it strange that the Damion would send not only the first squad."
"But all three of the 'senses' to a 'no-man's land'."
Barry says
"Tch."
He clicks his tongue
"Wiping out simple folk who can't even defend themselves."
Barry scoffs
"It's disgusting."
"Even for a senile old man."
He pauses standing above Xavier!!
"D-does that mean you don't want to do his bidding anymore??"
Xavier says anxiously, awkward smile plastered on as he stares straight at Barry
"…"
"Let me finish…"
Barry says lazily
(sighs) "But then…"
"All of a sudden on my way here…"
"I hear something highly peculiar."
He says un-holstering his gun and aiming it Xavier who falls down to the ground!!!
"Curious what that was?"
He asks Xavier who doesn't respond
"…"
"Well I'll tell you anyway."
Barry says
(sighs) "It was a name…"
He says
"A name I didn't think I'd hear anywhere outside the walls of 'The Beneath'."
He says
"Something from fables and bedtime stories."
He says gesturing
(sighs) "Know what name that was kid."
Barry says watches a shivering Xavier beneath him before placing the gun firmly against his forehead!!!
"It was."
("CLICK!!!!")
"Beyaz."
!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A huge gust of wind explodes from where Xavier and Barry stand!!!!
And in an instant…
Barry is sent flying across the street!!!!!!!!
(P) "haaa…"
(A) "haaaa…."
(N) "HAAAA!!!!"
(T) "That hurt!"
(S) "Ya idiot."
Lucy says in between breathes!!!!
Clutching her right arm as she lowers her fist.
Xavier shivers cowardly
Blinking multiple times before opening his eyes slow
(Panting) "Come on…"
"Let's get outta here."
She him off the ground in an instant and breaking into a jog.
"A-Are you okay??"
Xavier asks getting pulled along.
(Panting) "Heh…"
"What do you think genius…"
Lucy replies cheekily CLEARLY in pain.
(Panting) "He-hehe…"
"Don't worry about me am built tougher than most…"
She says dreary.
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"again…"
Xavier thinks
"I was useless again…."
"…."
"…."
-MEANWHILE-
… 'The Fountain' …
!!!!!!!!!!BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!BOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Small explosions happen in tandem!
Echoing in the fountain area as the golden dust clouds rise from the scene!!!
"TCH!"
Bo clicks his tongue!
"Hey old man this is getting really old you know!!"
Bo shouts from across the fountain
"…"
-silence-
"…"
To no response from the ever composed Mark!!!!
(clicks tongue) "I guess you're a mute now too."
Bo says mumbles to himself
"…"
"HAAAA…."
"You see I don't care much for the kid or you."
Bo exclaims frustrated.
"All I care about is the fact both Yasser and Jeremiah seem to be really interested in this place."
Bo says
"Now I might just be a foot soldier
He says
"But am not stupid."
He continues, huge grin across his face.
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"I have great instincts!!"
Bo shouts full of vigor!
"And those same instincts are screaming at me that right now saying it's for sure got something to do with that that kid."
He says smirks
"So we can keep drawing this out and allow Barry to get to her first…"
Bo says
"Or we can do each other a favour here and go all out so I can get to her first."
He says smirking and pointing the giant sword at Mark.
"…"
-silence-
"…"
(Sighs) "You see my aggressive friend."
Mark says finally breaking his silence!
"While not completely off the mark."
"You sure did fabricate your own idea of how things are."
He says.
"…"
"Anyway, I simply cannot let you get out of here."
Mark says
"Regardless of what your motives are I need only keep you here with me."
He says
"If I do that then I am more than certain that my--"
"That my colleague will handle things over there."
Mark says adjusting his glasses as Bo's looks on in anguish.
"So when all is said and done my role here is…"
"One of consequence."
"Wouldn't you agree?"
Mark says cheekily placing the glasses back on
"Tch."
Bo clicks his tongue.
"Yeah whatever!"
He shouts. (._.)
"I just have to keep you here too and figure it out myself!!"
Bo shouts
"Well that's reliant on 'if', you can keep me here my bad tempered friend."
Mark responds facing Bo a shine in his glasses!
"TCH!!"
("AAAAHHHH!!!")
Bo rushes Mark!!
Who runs round the fountain in the opposite direction keeping his distance!
!!!!!!!!!!BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!BOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!
Mark shoots grenades as he runs!!
But by now Bo is used to the and closes the distance between them faster than before!
Bo swings his sword at Mark's right shoulder but he sidesteps it!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!BAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bo's sword makes explosion when it collides with the ground!!!
Shattering the ground…
The impact leaves a huge trench in the ground as Bo immediately swings it again!
This time at Mark's head!!
Mark bridges down just narrowly missing the swing before proceeding to sweep the legs from underneath Bo who falls flat on the ground!
Sensing an opportunity to finish this…
The oddly agile fat man spins.
Bringing right straight to Bo who rolls away!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!BAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!BAMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BAMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The fists land in tandem
First one!
Then two!!
Then three!!!
Bo however continues to roll!
Avoiding every single one until his back hits the fountain.
"Shit."
Bo scoffs just as Mark is about to hit him…
!!!!!!!!!!!BAANNGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bo smashes the side of the fountain forcing the water out!!
(Coughing) "My…"
"Well aren't you a tough one."
Mark says to Bo
(coughing) "Aha…"
"I could say the same thing about you old man."
Bo smirks at Mark standing up and slicking his wet hair back!
"And that's especially considering you're doing all this without your (souls)."
He says
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"Well then…"
Bo begins
"Much as I'd like this fight to go on forever I've had my fill of the fun…"
He says
"Wouldn't you say so too…"
"…"
"Jeremiah."
Bo says cheekily before turning his head to the street where he and his companions first emerged…
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"Why are you wasting time with this old man…"
The leader of the pack's voice chimes in clear and loud!
"Bo."
Jeremiah's says emerging onto the scene!!!!
"I see you still haven't shaken that bad habit of playing with your food."
"…"
"…"
