Chapter 26 - she's been kidnapped(2)

Dakota: Okay, where was Ava last seen?

Mia: She was last seen going into the forest.

Dakota: Which forest?

Lucas: It was the Evil Forest.

Dakota: What!? What was she doing there?

Lucas: Well, there were security cameras in the forest. Before they were shut down, someone caught her and tied her up.

Dakota: Ah, shit, this is bad.

Dakota: That forest is huge. It's going to be really difficult to find her.

Lucas: Yeah, that's true. And not only is it huge, but it's also dangerous.

Dakota: Yeah, that too. But how do we find her? It's not like we can just keep searching the forest until we find her.

Dakota: We need some sort of plan...

Henry: Hey, guys, look at this!

Henry suddenly interrupted Dakota, shouting the words loudly.

Dakota: Oh, Henry, what is it?

Henry: Ava's kidnapper left us a note.

Dakota: What!? He did?

Henry: Yes, and it also has the location where Ava is.

Dakota: Really!? Wait, how do we know the location is real and not fake?

Henry: Well, there's a picture of Ava too.

Dakota: Wait, really? Show me.

Henry pulled out the note and showed them the picture. In the image, Ava was tied up in a chair, unconscious.

Dakota: That fucking bastard. How dare he do this to Ava.

Lucas: I'm going to kill that son of a bitch.

Lima: I haven't felt this angry in a long time.

Mia: I'm going to rip that bastard limb from limb.

Dakota: Yeah, let's all kill that fucker.

???: Well, hello there. Long time no see.

Dakota: Oh, long time no see, indeed, Franklin.

Franklin: Yeah, nice to see you again, Dakota.

Franklin, Ava's father, stepped forward. He was also one of the 10 legendary heroes, just like Dakota's father.

Franklin: I heard my daughter has been kidnapped. Is that true?

Dakota: Yes, it is. And here's the proof.

Franklin looked at the picture of his daughter and immediately became enraged.

Franklin: How dare that motherfucker kidnap my daughter and son!

Dakota: Wait, son?

Franklin: Yeah, he also kidnapped my son. The reason Ava went into the forest was to save her brother.

Dakota: Ah, so that's why she went into the forest. Now it all makes sense.

Dakota: So, are you going to be helping us, Franklin?

Franklin: Yes, I am. And I'm not the only one helping.

Dakota: Oh? Is there another one?

Franklin: Yes, there is. And it's my wife, Sophia.

Sophia: Nice to see you all again.

Everyone greeted Sophia with a nod and a smile, saying, "Nice to see you again too."

Dakota: So, you'll be helping us, Miss Sophia?

Sophia: Yes, I will. I want to help save my daughter and son.

Franklin: Hey, Dakota, why are you being respectful to my wife and not me?

Dakota: Because your wife is beautiful, and you're not.

Franklin: Wha-?

Sophia: Oh my, thank you, Dakota.

Dakota: No problem, Miss Sophia.

Franklin: Oh, whatever. Let's go save our children.

Dakota: Yeah, let's do this.

---

The group arrived at the location, and to their surprise, they found themselves at a mansion deep in the Evil Forest.

Dakota: Why is there a mansion in the Evil Forest?

Lucas: I don't know.

Dakota: Oh well, let's go in and save Ava and her little brother.

Mia: Yeah.

With that, they entered the mansion.

Dakota: This place definitely hasn't been cleaned in a while.

Jack: Yeah, this place is really dirty.

Amelia: Let's just get this over with.

Dakota: So, which team will be saving Ava, and which team will be saving her brother?

Franklin: I'll be on the team to save Ava.

Sophia: And I'll be on the team to save my son.

Dakota: Okay, let's do it like this: my group will be saving Ava, and Henry's group will be saving her brother.

Henry: Okay, we'll save Ava's brother.

Dakota: Alright then, it's decided. Let's go save them.

The two teams split up, exploring the mansion. Suddenly, a Djinn appeared in front of them. But this wasn't any normal Djinn—it was a high-ranked Djinn.

Djinn: Well, hello there. Welcome to my mansion.

Dakota: So, this is your mansion. Are you also the one who kidnapped Ava and her brother?

Djinn: Yes, indeed, that was me.

Franklin: So, you're the one who kidnapped my daughter and son. I'm going to fucking kill you.

Djinn: Well, you'd definitely kill me if I were alone, but I'm not, so…

Four other high-ranked Djinns suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Franklin: Do you seriously think five high-ranked Djinns will be enough to kill me?

Djinn: No, but since you're protecting those kids, I think we have a chance of killing you.

Dakota: Ah, shit. He's right. We can't do anything against those high-ranked Djinns.

Franklin: Is my daughter up those stairs behind you?

Djinn: Yes, she is. And we have a mid-ranked Djinn guarding her, too.

Franklin: Well, that's good to know.

Franklin: Hey, you guys, while I keep these five Djinns busy, do you think you can sneak past them?

Dakota: As long as you keep them busy, I think we can.

Franklin: And can you kill a mid-ranked Djinn, even though you aren't with the full group?

Dakota: Yeah. The last time we killed a mid-ranked Djinn, it was with the help of those guys. But since then, we've gotten a lot stronger. We can definitely kill that mid-ranked Djinn.

Franklin: I like that confidence of yours. Then I'll keep them busy so you can sneak past them.

Franklin started fighting the five Djinns, and the group managed to sneak past them. They went up the stairs and found a single room. They decided to enter, and there, tied to a chair, was Ava.

Dakota: Ah, Ava! There you are.

Djinn: Whoa, not so fast, human.

Dakota: Ah, shit. I forgot there was a mid-ranked Djinn here.

Djinn: Yeah, I'm here. And there's no way you can kill me with only you guys here and not the full group.

Dakota: Yeah? Are you sure about that? Why don't we see how much stronger we've gotten since we fought that mid-ranked Djinn?

Dakota and the group took a fighting stance as the mid-ranked Djinn prepared to face them.
