Chereads / THE PHANTOMS / Chapter 17 - MEETING 2

Chapter 17 - MEETING 2

So what's the suprise?", Maestro asks Liz being hardly able to contain his curiosity.

"Well you've seen part of it", Liz stands in front of Maestro as her clothes start changing into an armour.

The top part of her blouse changes into a blue and silver armor vest, with chest and shoulder plates for style and protection.

The lower part of her clothes change into silver skirt styled, blue scaled armour, with two mounted old style shotguns hanged unto each side if her waists

"Taa daa"

Maestro and Krish just stares shocked, "Liz you look so pretty", Maestro blushes as he says.

"Thank you"

"It suits you, b-but why", Maestro asks , a worried look plastered on his face.

"Why!!", Liz asks enraged.

"You know I work for the military Maestro, isn't it obvious why!!", she snaps at Maestro as she pokes his chest.

"Arrgh, what!!", his frustrated face queezes even more.

"I WILL BE JOINING YOU IN YOUR FIGHT FOR FREEDOM AND LIBERATION MAESTRO, I'VE MADE UP MY MIND!!", Liz announces fully determined.

"Somehow this earring has granted me the ability of creation from pure energy"

"But you know I don't want you involved in this bloodshed, never have, never will, I need you to be safe", he says genuinely worried for Liz.

"I'm already involved and so is the entire Tokyo, these beasts will not stop spawning until that freaky rune in the sky is gone Maestro", Liz says with full motion.

"Pfft, you're right, of course you are, let's save Tokyo together Elizabeth", Maestro and Liz reconcile as they hug, then kiss.

"I FEEL A PRICKLY PRESENSE COMING FROM THAT BUILDING", Sega tells Maestro to stop him and Liz kissing before it turns into something else and fast.

Maestro turns left staring into the dark old crumbled remains of what used to be a standard school probably.

"Let's go tell the others our findings, it's getting late"

"Oh, others I can't wait to meet them", Krish says happy.

BACK AT THE INN:

In wilcus and Maestro room everyone has returned from the various tasks they where assigned with and are now sitted, except Maestro.

Alice chants something inaudible casting the same barrier spell that makes the room silent on the outside, so technically noise-proof.

"I'm tired of waiting, Wilcus complains"

"I'll go find him", Asima stands about to leave.

"Wait he is coming, I sense him and Liz and…..

Just then Maestro, Liz and Krish teleports into the room.

Pico just continues reading as usual adjusting his glasses in his humaniod form.

"Finally, let's get started, then Master set's his eyes on Krish, "Wha, who's the kid".

"This is Krish", Meastro answers for Liz.

"So adorable"

"Meeh"

"Love the hair, is the color real"

The Phantoms crew cluster Krish as they investigate the new member, knowing fully well Maestro won't bring just anyone back with him.

"He is a Majin in training", Maestro adds.

Upon hearing this Master eyelids drops cooly.

He now is not only skeptical of the new sherart that they brought just a week ago, that stares at him as if wanting to slay him anytime a chance is given, now a Majin of all people.

"What's a Majin", wilcus asks.

Majins are people who are trained from the moment they are born, to harness the natural energy if the earth, it is sayed to be every where.

Majins do not use magic , unlike magicians, wizards and witches, they use the natural energy to that come from nature to cast spells, making them stronger than normal casters.

They are the top of the magic pinnacle.

"Who's that with the glasses", Maestro had to ask.

"Oh, that's pico, shocking right, turns out his humaniod form is so realistic you can't find a different between him and a human except for the fact that he can't talk without barking", wilcus replies Maestro mockingly.

"Okay", Maestro says surprised

Clears throat, "let's begin", Asima where you able to find the black market, Due to impatient Master start's the meeting.

"Yes", the industrial building south of here, passes a blue card to Master, that's the key show it to them and they'll let you in.

As asima doesn't fully trust masters wishes, she hands him the wrong entrance card ,the real one is black if you read it in chapter 9.

Master nods in approvement, "Alice what about you, what do this town think of us miscreants"

(I wonder what he would actually do if they're review was bad), Alice thinks before answering Master.

"I found out that, most people in this town hate freaks and a few doesn't, it wasn't always like this until a freak started killing the citizens., Asking for the leadership of the town"

An inexplicable smile runs down Masters face upon hearing this, which only confirms Maestro suspicion.

Master then looks at wilcus, signaling for him to discuss the results of the his task.

"Ahem, pico and I got a job at the adventurer's guild , and we made some money doing a few hunting tasks"

We earned at total of 300 yen, but after deduction the amount I used to satisfy our hunger we only have 79 yen remaining. But do not worry tomorrow I'll make double.

"Pig", Asima stares at wilcus as if looking at a fat pig.

"And as for me, thanks to Liz help I found the perfect spot for us to train, the abandoned ruins to the north of papillon, Also I made some new humans friends after all this years after they found out I was a freak, see my bracelet is broken I used my powers", Maestro says serious.

Obviously they burst with different reactions.

"WHAT!!"

ASIMA NEARLY FAINTED.

PICO GLASSES INSTANTLY CRACKED UPON HEARING THIS AND HE NEARLY LOST HIS COMPOSURE, NEARLY SHOUTING IN HIS ASSASSIN VOICE .

"WOW, SERIOUSLY", WILCUS ASKED SURPRISED UNABLE TO BELIEVE.

"I SMELL BIG TROUBLE COMING", ASIMA SAY'S IN HER USUAL UNMOTIVATED WAY.

"HOW", ALICE SHOUTS!!!

"Okay, well I saved the priest daughter from being crushed to pieces by a wild horse, so I made a deal with the priest himself, that he won't harm any miscreant that enter papillon now and forever, it will be a neutral zone. And in return I'll kill the king of the beasts hiding in the dungeon beyond the gates", Maestro slowly explains so they won't be upset with him.

"I'll probably be really strong, very strong", Liz looks at them worried.

"So we must train well before we carry out this operation"

"Pfft, of course, we begin training tomorrow, no slacking off this time", Master announces.
