Just then the dust clears to unveil a small scrawny girl with red hair and eyes to match!!!!
"L-Lillith Cane!!!"
Xavier thinks before jumping back subconsciously!!
"Hm?"
Lillith exclaims confused
"…"
"Oh, so you know who I am."
She says smugly
"Smart choice."
Lillith remarks smirking
(sighs)
"Well, whatever the case its night-time and some of us are trying to get up bright and early tomorrow so if you could end your fight here, I'd greatly appreciate it."
She says looking to a cautious Xavier and then to a defeated A.K who just lies there.
"This girl."
Xavier thinks looking at Lillith who returns his gaze cluelessly
"She stopped that punch like it was nothing!"
He thinks.
"Are…"
"Are all the royal's monsters like her?"
He thinks smirking anxiously as a cold sweat drips down the side of his face
"…"
-silence-
"…"
(sighs)
"Well, if we're done here then--"
!!!!!ZIP
"HUH?!"
"WHAT?!!"
Xavier and Lillith exclaim at the same time as a hooded figure suddenly appears and heads right for Xavier!!!!
"IS THAT MU?!?!!!"
Xavier thinks trying to back track!
"WAIT!!!!"
Lillith shouts powering up
"CRAP SHE'S NOT GONNA MAKE IT--"
"SHIT…"
Xavier thinks bracing himself when he realizes Mu is too fast!
"CRA--"
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just then another massive explosion ensues as the air erupts once more!!!!
"SHIT!"
"WHAT NOW?!?!!"
Xavier thinks shielding his eyes
"…"
"AAAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!!"
An arrogant brash voice suddenly cuts in bursting in laughter!!!
"Arrghh."
"AH!"
Mu exclaims recoiling on the ground and struggling to stand up
"What the?"
Xavier thinks confused
"What the hell just happened?"
He wonders looking to the direction of the laughter
"Who is that?"
"I didn't see a thing?"
He thinks trying to peer through the dust cloud
"…"
"So strong…"
He thinks in awe of that impact…
And as he peers into the fading dust cloud a silhouette of a man becomes visible and reveals none other than…
"…"
"Jimmy Blanche."
Xavier mumbles in awe
"…"
-silence-
"…"
(sighs)
"I could have handled that yknow."
Lillith says frustrated as she powers down
"AHAHAHAHHA--"
"Sure you could."
Jimmy laughs before replying bluntly
"…"
"SO HEY! YOU WANNA KEEP GOING OR?"
Jimmy shouts obnoxiously to Mu.
(spits blood)
"…"
"Hm."
Mu grunts as she musters the strength to stand.
"C'mon A.K we're leaving."
"…"
She says angrily walking away before sharing a short glare with Xavier.
"What's her problem?"
Xavier thinks watching her
"Oh! Well… cool… cool…"
Jimmy says alittle disappointed as he blankly watches them leave
"…"
"Well I guess that's that."
Lillith says watching them as well before stretching
"It's back to bed for me now."
She says turning around to leave
"Hey wait!--"
"Goodnight Jimmy!"
She says ignoring Jimmy and waving on her way.
"Aaaah… right."
Jimmy responds as he meekly waves back
"…"
"Tsk."
"Oh well might as well head back too then?"
Jimmy thinks, prepping to leave when…
"Uh w-wait!"
Xavier cuts in.
"Hm?"
Jimmy exclaims turning to face him
"Uh… well I … I just wanted to say thanks."
Xavier stumbles over his words to say.
"Oh don't worry about it a good leader always looks over his subordinates."
Jimmy says smirking brightly
"Subordinates?"
Xavier thinks a little annoyed at the remark.
But doesn't mind it because he can see Jimmy is being sincere.
"Hmmmm…"
"You're Yasser's successor, aren't you?"
Jimmy asks while looking him over
"Why does everyone call me that."
Xavier mumbles salty
"What was that?"
Jimmy asks
"Oh nothing."
"Yeah I am."
Xavier says snapping back to reality
"Xavier Grey."
He says offering his hand for a handshake
"…"
"Jimmy Blanche."
Jimmy says shaking his hand after a short pause
"Oh I know."
Xavier says shaking it warmly
"Really?"
Jimmy asks confused
"Yeah… uh… you guys are kind of a big in the Beneath."
Xavier responds
"Oh!"
"How cool!!"
Jimmy says smiling brightly.
"You should watch yourself Xavier Grey."
He says still beaming!
"Huh? Me?"
"Why??"
Xavier asks
"Well…"
"Lets just say most people competing here have either been beaten down by Yasser or talked down to."
"He's not exactly what I'd call… popular."
"HAHAhaaa…"
Jimmy says awkwardly scratching his head
"I see…"
Xavier says gritting his teeth bitterly once more as he bemoans the memory of his pitiful teacher.
"Yup!"
"So I'd imagine a lot of them would relish the chance to take out his student in his place."
Jimmy says
"I'll keep that in mind."
Xavier responds
"Cool… cool…"
Jimmy says
"Well, I should probably get going tomorrow is a big one after all."
He says brightly
"Big one?"
Xavier thinks
"Be Seeing Ya!"
Jimmy says as he begins to leave
"Uh… yeah…"
Xavier responds waving
"A big one huh?"
Xavier thinks
"Is there something am missing?"
He thinks…
Just then, like prey being watched before the hunt…
Xavier gets the feeling like he's being watched. Which prompts him to look forward again where Lillith Cane stands still staring at him before turning to leave…
"…"
"Odd…"
Xavier thinks
"Hey so you waited for me!"
Jimmy shouts after Lillith
"Shut up you blonde idiot! I was just making sure you didn't raise any more hell."
Lillith snaps back
"Oh, how mean!"
Jimmy says salty and pouting as the pair walk off
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"Really odd."
Xavier thinks as he watches the pair take their leave.
"…"
"Lillith Cane…"
Xavier thinks
"For someone to be so small yet so strong…"
He thinks
"AH!"
Xavier exclaims as his fist suddenly twinges in pain…
"…"
"Hmmm."
"Maybe too strong…."
He thinks looking to his hand that throbs from the pain of Lillith simply stopping his punch.
"…"
"I wonder if…"
Xavier thinks before moving on back to the tent
[Off in the distance]
"…"
"Good looks like I didn't have to get involved."
Cassey mumbles salty
"F*cking monsters."
He thinks as he turns to walk back
[Further in the distance!!]
"…"
Sierra silently watches Xavier walk away back before leaving herself.
[The Next Day]
"Xav--"
"Xavi--"
"Xavier…"
"XAVIER!!!!"
"HUH? WHAT? WHO?!?!!"
Xavier wakes up bubbling nonsense when Lucius shouts him awake!
"Hurry up! Hurry up! We're going to be late!!"
Lucius shouts shaking him
"What the…"
"What do you mean we're going to be late isn't it only…"
Xavier begins to mumble groggily when…
"…"
"eh."
He realizes there's no one around him!!
"WHAT THE!!!"
Xavier shouts jumping up
"WHAT… WHERE IS EVERYONE??"
He shouts
"That's what I am trying to tell you!"
Lucius responds frustrated
"Everyone left."
He says panicking
"They must have gotten an early start."
"And we overslept because of everything that happened last night."
Lucius says as he lunges to pack up his bag and stuff
"Huh? Wait how are you alive?"
"IS THERE REALLY ANYTIME FOR THAT!!!!"
Xavier asks Lucius confused, before he pauses to snap back!!
"Right sorry!!!!"
Xavier responds confused
"Aaaah SHIT!"
"But why didn't they wake us those ungrateful bastards?"
Xavier says panicking as he begins to pack up too.
"And add to the competition?"
Lucius says rhetorically
"TSK!"
"Assholes!"
Xavier says grumpily
"C'mon Lucius we have to make up ground!!!"
Xavier shouts half-dressed and running out the makeshift tent!
[Awhile Later]
-Leading Pack-
"YAAAAAAAAHOOOOOO!!!!!!"
Jimmy shouts running at full speed as he heads up the pack once more!
"Beautiful day for a race if I do say so myself."
He says happily to himself
"Now let's see…"
"What does the competition have for me today."
He says smugly turning his head
"What's this, what's this?"
"The Cloud girl seems to be dangerously close."
Jimmy says excitedly as he watches Sierra, the closest behind him, closing quickly.
"Well now. You sure have been a pleasant surprise."
He says excited
"But alas this is the end of our dance."
He moans soppily
"It's time I turn up the heat."
He says smirking before….
(bzzzZZZTTTTTTT!!!!)
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The air erupts as Jimmy bursts into an even faster sprint!!!
"…."
"AHAHAHAHAAHAHA!!!!!"
He laughs as he looks back and sees the sprint has broken him away from Sierra!
"Let's see if you can keep up with me now."
He says smirking brightly as he looks back to Sierra who is beginning to fade in the distance
"…"
"Hm?"
Jimmy exclaims when a big dust cloud being kicked up from the last of the pack catches his attention
"Now what's all 'THIS' commotion??"
He thinks looking back.
"Lemme just turn the dial up a little and…"
He says as the glow of his souls begins to features in his eyes too…
(bzt.)
"Ah there we go."
He says as the frame of the lack pack is magnified
"Let's see here."
He mumbles…
"Jobber…"
"Jobber…."
"Ouuu isn't that Lillith and Mosshead?"
Jimmy mumbles about scanning the last pack…
"…"
"Hmmm…"
"Ah here we go!"
He says brightly!
"And the one causing this giant cloud is!"
He says!!!
"…"
"Well, that's a shocker…"
Jimmy smirks ear to ear
"Haha…"
"Hello there."
"Xavier Grey from last night."
Jimmy says as a panicked Xavier and Lucius come into view from the end of the pack.
Kicking up what appears to be a whole dust-storm!!!
"Well, aren't you an interesting one."
He smirks watching them
"Now let's see if 'YOU' can keep up."
Jimmy says smirking proudly
"…"
"…"
