"So?"
Sierra says
"Is that why you brought her along?"
She asks pointing to Jimmy's right arm where he drags an unconscious Mu!!
"Hm?"
Jimmy exclaims looking to his side
"Well, ofcourse!"
He responds brightly
"She's wayyyyy too strong to end here."
He says excitedly
"Only the strongest of the strong remember!"
Jimmy says smirking brightly
"…"
"Right."
Sierra responds blankly
"…"
"Only the strongest of the strong…"
Jimmy thinks, recalling the fight between Xavier and A.K from last night
"The strongest of the strong…"
He thinks…
-A Little While Ago-
[Middle OF The Front Pack]
"…"
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"WHA-WHAT?!!!"
Xavier shouts turning to Lucius
"A-ARGHH!!!!!"
"Hehe."
A brash voice laughs as Lucius exclaims falling slow to the ground…
"T-TCH!"
"Lu-LUCIUS!!!!"
Xavier shouts after Lucius rushing to his aid…
"…"
"LUCIUS!"
"LUCIUS!!!"
He shouts grabbing him before he falls into the sand.
"Ehehe…"
"AHAHAHAHAHA!!!!"
The voice laughs manically at the scene
"Tch!"
Xavier exclaims turning to face the person in a fit of rage!
"…"
"You Again."
He says furiously!
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"TCH."
Xavier exclaims furiously, gritting his teeth
"Hey aren't you tired of this?!"
He shouts angrily
"I beat you once before and I have no doubt in my mind I could do it again."
"…"
"A.K."
Xavier says angrily
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"Hmph!"
A smug A.K exclaims excitedly!
"That you did. That you did!"
He says giddy throwing his arms up and down happily
"Then why--"
"Because 'WE' have a job to do."
"Xavier Grey."
A.K says tensely cutting off Xavier
"A job?..."
Xavier thinks cautiously as he lifts Lucius slow to his feet
"This probably has to do with that psycho leader of theirs…"
He thinks turning his gaze to where Jimmy and Mu are still locked in combat
"…"
"Hmph."
"I don't get it."
Xavier says dismissingly
"Don't get what you scrawny brat?"
A.K asks
"What's with you guys and that masked freak you call a leader?"
Xavier asks angrily
"Is she really all that special?"
"Or are all of you just a bunch of brainwashed Zombies."
He says coldly
"…"
"Hm."
A.K exclaims softly
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"Well?"
Xavier asks getting increasingly more frustrated at MFH's antics to this point.
"ANSWER ME---"
"She's more than just our leader."
A.K says calmly, cutting off Xavier mid-shout
"…"
Xavier stays silent watching A.K as his demeanour takes on a completely different outlook
"…"
"What do you--"
"SHE'S, OUR SAVIOUR!!!!"
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"ACK!"
The explosion is big as Xavier is suddenly thrown back!!!!
"A HERO!"
"A SYMBOL OF PEACE FOR THE MINOR HOUSES AND TRIBES."
"ONE OF OUR OWN WHO SACRIFICED HER ENTIRE LIFE TO HELP LIFT THE STRUGGLES OF ALL WHO SUFFERED OPPRESSION IN THE OUTERLANDS!"
"MU IS THE ONLY PERSON THAT CARED FOR US…"
"THE ONLY PERSON THAT LOVED US!"
"WITHOUT HER THERE'D BE NO…"
(Breaks into tears…)
"There'd be noo…."
("POOF!!")
The sand spreads softly cushioning Xavier
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"Lucius."
Xavier calls softly staring to the sky…
"…"
"What!"
Lucius response is tense as tears flow a constant down his face…
Yes, that's right.
In the moments Xavier spent talking and demeaning Mu.
The Lucius he was helping only seethed.
And seethed, with anger until it was too much for him to bear.
…The pain of having his idol's image demeaned….
...The sorrow he felt, when his saviour reduced to nothing more than a mask wearing freak…
Lucius had heard enough.
And just like that in an instant…
Before his mind could process what the best course of action was here.
Lucius's body turned on Xavier.
And blasted the man trying to help him up with an elbow straight to the chin!!
"…"
(sighs)
"Can't say I didn't see this coming..."
Xavier thinks sombrely staring at the sky as he shields his eyes from the sun's rays
"…"
"w-WELL!?!!!"
Lucius shouts angrily at Xavier, tears still flowing.
"…"
(Deep breath)
"Nothing."
Xavier says softly getting back up to his feet
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"TCH!"
Lucius exclaims gritting his teeth ferociously
"I tried!"
He says,
"I tried to make this last for as long as possible but it just wasn't possible to begin with!"
He rambles inconsistently as he boils over
"I mean this GUY!"
"This IMBECILE."
"HEATHEN!"
"LIAR!!!!"
An irate Lucius shouts
"As great as Mu is this plan had no chance of ever working."
He says as A.K reaches out his arm to comfort him
("PAH!!!!")
"Don't Touch Me!"
Lucius snaps as he slaps away A.K's hand
"…"
"This is the end of the trial for you Xavier Grey."
He says sharply gazing back at Xavier who stays silent completely unmoving
"…"
-silence-
"…"
(sighs)
Xavier sighs before stretching his arm and shaking his chin side to side.
"Hm."
Lucius exclaims tensely
"Am sure I aimed for his jaw at that point but why does he seem unphased."
Lucius thinks scanning Xavier.
"…"
"Could he be using those eyes A.K told us about?"
He thinks cautiously
"…"
"Tell me something Xavier, how does it feel?"
Lucius asks snappily
"Hm?"
Xavier exclaims blankly
"How does it feel to hide your true power and lie to all that attend these trials."
Lucius says angrily pointing at Xavier
"A real warrior would let it be known to the world his strengths and weaknesses and still win decisively, Xavier Grey."
He says sharply
"…"
"Or maybe should I call you by your given name?!"
He shouts smugly
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"Beyaz."
Lucius says his voice full of conviction
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"Tch."
Lucius exclaims angrily, gritting his teeth when he elicits no response from Xavier who remains still, a distance away.
"…"
"So, what was your plan ehy??"
He asks angrily
"Dye your hair black and cruise through the trials as the mysterious dark horse before making a grand reveal in the finals?"
He asks beginning to seethe with rage once more.
"Would it please you to know we were all at a disadvantage from the beginning?"
He asks
"Was all this just to carry out a deep rooted revenge against the house that wiped out yours?"
He asks
"OOOOHHHH! ANSWER ME BEYAZ!!!!!"
He shouts
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"Tch."
Lucius exclaims frustrated when he still receives no response
"…"
"I should've expected this from a bunch of silver spoon royals."
He says angrily
"Only thinking about themselves."
"Only thinking about glory!"
He says,
"It's no wonder your house was wiped out in the beginning."
He says sharply
"No one would want to help such selfish people anyway."
He says softly
"…"
"Continue to hide your powers if you want Beyaz."
"But your trials end here."
He says bluntly
"A.K."
Lucius calls for A.K, turning away as A.K begins to approach Xavier
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"PTOO!"
Xavier exclaims spitting blood to the sand as A.K approaches
"…That was a good elbow."
"Lucius…."
Xavier says softly finally breaking his silence which prompts A.K to stop in his tracks
"…"
"I blocked it and you still got in a good hit."
He says smugly as Lucius turns back to face him
"He blocked it?!"
Lucius thinks tensing up
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"Hid it?"
Xavier says maniacally as his unkempt hair falls over his face, leaving only a space for his psychotic smirk to show.
"Silver-spoon?"
Xavier says smugly
"Royal?"
He asks
"HAIR DYE?!?!"
He shouts!
"…"
"AHA."
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!"
Xavier breaks into a psychotic laughter
"You say some really interesting things Lucius."
"Really you do."
Xavier says smirking anxiously as he holds his gut in to quell the laughter.
"Tch."
Lucius exclaims anxiously at Xavier's outburst
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"I didn't hide anything."
"LIAR!"
Xavier says seriously as Lucius immediately snaps back
"Infact, I didn't even know I had Beyaz blood in me until recently…"
Xavier says softly
"Y-You're lying!"
"Stop lying!!!"
Lucius snaps back angrily
"And what's this about hair dye?"
Xavier asks smirking awkwardly
"Hey Lucius do I really look like the kind of guy who gives a damn about how he looks?"
He asks mockingly
"Hmph!"
Lucius flinches at Xavier's question
"…"
-silence-
"…"
(sighs)
"See I don't know much about this Mu character or why you adore her so much."
Xavier says calmly scratching his head
"…"
"And maybe in different times we could have talked this over and I'd be able to understand you better."
He mumbles sombrely
"huh--"
"But what's done is done and you've finally decided to reveal yourself to me."
Xavier says ignoring Lucius's exclamation
"…"
"I may not know much about the Beyaz."
"But you're right, they are a part of my heritage."
He says
"And while I didn't ask to be born this way…"
"…"
"I still was and am proud of who I am."
Xavier says
"And thankful to everyone who helped me get this far…"
He thinks
"…"
"I didn't lie to you Lucius."
Xavier says seriously
"I didn't lie to anyone."
He says softly
"The fact that you chose to fight me like this after finding out rather than just talk to me isn't my fault either, you chose this."
He says
"Honestly you could have just asked…"
Xavier mumbles sombrely
"…"
"I don't know what your agenda is here."
Xavier says
"Or how you and that blockhead over there know each other."
He adds
"But one thing's certain to me."
He says
"I really couldn't care any less."
Xavier says breaking slow as he feels his heart sink
"…"
"My trial…"
"…"
"No…"
"…"
"My 'Journey' doesn't end here."
"Lucius."
Xavier says sombrely as Lucius stands tensed up at every world
"…"
"And I'll be damned if I let it end at the hands of some backstabbing peasants from the outer-lands."
Xavier says, his voice achy as he raises a middle finger to Lucius
"TSK!"
Lucius exclaims as he takes an anxious step back
"So…"
"If all you wanted was a fight…"
("bzzt.")
Xavier says smugly as his marks begin to burn brighter
"SH-SHIT!"
"If we don't handle this well, Mu might have some problems down the line!"
Lucius thinks in full on panic mode
"Well, all you had to do was ask!"
"…"
("FWHOOSSH!!!!")
Xavier says immediately breaking into a dash toward Lucius!!
"No. What am I thinking?!"
Lucius thinks in a hurry watching Xavier rush them!
"Mu needs to win this!"
"For the betterment of all the minority houses!"
He thinks panicking
"So even if it is you, Xavier!"
"I can't let you continue!!!!"
He thinks
"A.K!"
Lucius calls to A.K immediately as Xavier draws closer!
"With pleasure!"
("BZZT!")
A.K responds punching his fists together as his own marks brighten!
!!!!!!!!BOOOM!!!!!!!!!!
("TAT!")
("TAT!!")
("TAT!!!")
("BOOM!")
("BOOM!!")
("BOOM!!!")
The sounds of the Xavier and A.K's feet stomping against the sand grow heavier as the pair rush each in an immediate explosion of speed!!!
"UWWWWAAAAAAAAAA…."
"…"
"….AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!"
"…"
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"…"
