Chapter 94
(Emma's Fiasco, Pt 6 of 6)
Narrator Pov:
The three looking closer at the figure, Hunter recognizes him, but the others don't. "Jake," Hunter breaths out and the other two don't know what he means.
"The second brother has arrived then. This should get interesting," The man says standing before Jake.
"Don't try to fight him, you'll only lose!," Hunter yells to Jake.
"Don't try to save him, it is inevitable, he will die," The man says getting into a fighting stance.
"I let you go look for Emma, for over a day, and you get caught? I thought you were better than th—," Jake can't finish as the man dashed behind him and knocked him out.
"Such a stupid child, how can one be so Idiotic. Lock him up like the others. An continue with the operation," The man says as Hunter starts to laugh. "I don't get it, what's so funny?," He asks Hunter.
"Your in for it now, the last thing you should have done is Knock him out. Good luck on not dying," Hunter says as stones moving can be heard. At that everyone looks behind the man to see a standing Jake, eyes rolled back, sword in hand.
"So what, he can stand in his sl—," The man can't finish as he finds himself on the ground. Jake had moved, faster than lightning, grabbing the mans throat and putting him on the ground. He proceeded to put his sword above the mans throat in a back handed grip.
Jake takes his free Right arm back, and punches the man in the face. He does so two more times before the man is knocked out, out cold. "Just who is that, Hunter?," Iris asks, wondering.
"That would be my younger brother Jake. He has this thing called Berserker Concentration. Whenever he is knocked unconscious, it Activates. He has the power of a Berserker and the Concentration of a seasoned soldier. He even killed a Great wolf using it," Hunter reveals as Jake falls down once more.
"The only Side effect is that he doesn't wake up after it is done. So we may just be stuck here for a bit," Hunter reveals.
"I guess he kept his promise," Talia says walking in slowly over the rubble. This surprises the three and the partially conscious Emma. They had not known that Talia was there at all, or why she was even here. The two adventurers though did not know who she was even.
Talia comes in and picks up Jake, setting him against the wall. She proceeds to walk over to Emma, unlocking the chains and covering her body. "Seems like you are getting used to your new life. Can you help us out when you are done?," Hunter asks.
"Yeah," Talia responds, picking up Emma after putting a blanket over her. She proceeds to lay Emma right next to Jake and come over to Hunter and company. She starts by unlocking the Chains on Talia, then Hunter, and Ibes.
"Mind telling us who your friend is?," Ibes asks Hunter.
"Right, she was one of the slaves rescued from that incident the other Day. She lost her family, well they were killed, so we were going to take her in. She was supposed to be hanging out at our friends until the house was rebuilt. So why are you here?," Hunter asks Talia.
"Well, when Jake came over after he got discharged he told us about Emma. Hannah and Henry wanted to go look for her, but they weren't allowed to. So I persuaded Jake to take me, I guess it was still to soon since he is out cold. But we should be getting back and reporting this to the Kingdom. But, why are all those people just standing there doing nothing?," Talia asks pointing out the slaves.
"I don't know, but I think that they are the subjects of these operations. They are the ones who have lost the ability to think for themselves. We may be able to restore it, but I don't know," Hunter says as they start to hear a groan. They look to see Jake waking up.
"Did I go to far?," He asks dizzily as he hugs Emma.
"No, you just knocked him out, but we still have to deal with these people. Even if they go back, what state will their minds be in based on their actions," Hunter says.
"True, but let me try something," Jake says, standing up. He walks over to the closest one, a lady around 34 way of time with black hair. He casts a Light magic and they start looking around. "Are you alright?," He asks them.
The lady just falls to her knees, thinking through stuff with her hands on her head. What is she going through anyway? "Are you alright?," Jake asks again.
"I just need some time, to process stuff," She says, not moving.
"Well, I am the manager of a Country club to the west of here. I could go there and get a place ready for these people. An we can tend to your sister there, she doesn't look good," Ibes points out. At that they realize that she fell unconscious.
"True, we better Hurry, Talia, Hunter, can you two stay here with the girl over there and watch over these people," Jake says pointing to Iris. At the same time he covers Emma with another blanket from his Item-box.
"Yeah, and her name is Iris," Hunter says as Jake leaves. Now, the Fiasco is finally over.
