Rushing through the woods, being chased by an Amun Zain is rapidly losing his stamina. "Damn he's fast! Good thing he can't hit me from a far." A blast of energy came out of nowhere and hit a tree beside him. "Oh great, me and my jinxing mouth!" Zain kept running and hiding in blind spots behind the trees while Mike keeps firing his energy blasts. "Stop running and stay still! And maybe I'll make your death nice and quick" Mike fires a blast that barley missed Zain's foot. He then rushes and hides behind another tree. "(Damn it, I fired way too much, I need to charge. Gotta make him stay in place for a while to not lose him.) Hey kid! why are you so good at running away? you seem like an expert in that technique." Zain was exhausted, gasping for air. "(If he hadn't stopped I would've been caught! Never mind that this is a good opportunity to buy some time.) Yeah I perfected it myself. from running away from my father with his belt." Mike's eyes lightened up "(Good, he's negotiating, at least for the moment. He's still at the Ten meter tree away from me, he didn't get away yet.) Wow must've been tough trying to escape his belt huh?. (This kid is trying to recover his stamina. Little did he know that I could recover stamina faster then those other Two combined.)" Zain walked out from behind the tree, They both stare at each other. Mike was surprised to see him casually walk out from behind the tree. "(What is this kid thinking? He knows that I can kill him in an instant. If so then why is he standing there not talking?)" The two of them kept eye contact for a little while. "(This is bad. I got out of hiding to confuse him. It's working but he'll get bored of me fast. I have to think of something and quick.)" Mike put his arm behind his back and started to charge his blast. "(This is probably a last resort of his. Then I must finish him before he gets the chance or backup.)" He fully charges his attack and gets ready to silently attack him. "Why don't you want to kill me!?" Mike stopped before casting it behind his back. "What do you mean?" Zain took a deep breath. "(Good I regained his attention. now I just have to play my cards well and not mess up.) Why are you saying you'll kill me while back there you just wanted to capture me?" Mike recharges his attack and was ready to fire it at him. "You guys want me for my 'Power' or whatever, so that's why you are trying to catch me. if you could just tell me what you are going to do with me then maybe I could come with you without the need of this fight!"
Mike didn't buy it and pulled his hand from behind his back and threw the energy blast at Zain's feet. When Zain saw Mike move without talking he got chills and his leg moved an inch backwards, making the blast miss Zain's leg and hits the ground in front it instead. As soon as the blast hit the ground, Zain ran the opposite direction of Mike. He sees Zain running away and chases him. "you really think I would fall for something so pathetic!" Zain reaches the side of the hill again but it was from a different place. "(This might be good.)" Zain then started running beside the hill, the forest to his left and the wall to his right. Out of the shadows a stray blast came from inside of the forest and it hit the wall right beside Zain's head. The impact made rocks crumble and fall from the top of the hill and it was going straight to Zain. He zigzags around the falling rocks and dodges some of them. One falling rock came down and landed on his shoulder. "Oww!!" Zain loses his balance and trips and falls on the ground. "How heavy was that one? it was at least Twenty-Five kilos. Damn, I can't feel my shoulder and it hurts like crazy." Zain looks towards the forest and sees a blast coming right at him. before he got time to respond, the blast hits him in the face and pushes him back hitting the stone wall with the back of his head. His vision was getting blurry and he couldn't think straight. His face was messed up from the blast, his mouth and nose were bleeding and his eye was twitching. But with all of these wounds he unconsciously gets back up and starts running again. Getting out of the forest Mike runs after him again. "How is that kid still running? he took that blast head on!" Zain was running faster then usual. But he was crying! "I don't wanna die! Please let all of this be a bad dream. Someone please wake me up from this nightmare!!!!" sobbing and the tears rolling down his eyes, Zain was breaking mentally. "I swear I didn't do anything wrong!!" Zain trips and falls to the ground and he breaks. "I just thought it was cool. Having my dream come true, being brought into another world. And leaving the shitty one behind! I thought I could leave reality and start an adventure in this new world and be the hero. Making friends and going on quests I thought it was gonna be like that and more. Then why?" Mike catches up and stands behind Zain."(what's wrong with this kid? he just got hit with a small blast. and he's already in tears.)" Zain while face first in the ground he smacks the dirt. "Why!!!! Why does this happen to me!! Losing my family for a stupid world like this, Fuck this world!! I just want to go back home! I don't care if I don't find the others I just want to go back home. Back to the simpler days." Mike walks closer to Zain. He holds his hair and charges his attack. "Mom I swear I will study, I swear I will get a degree, I swear I won't do anything that upsets you ever again. Please give me a second chance." Mike fully charges his attack. "Sorry kid in this world that you're cursing, there isn't any second chances." Mike point Zain to the sky and hits him from the back into the air, propelling him meters towards the sky with blood spewing out from his back. "(What is this feeling? am I dying? It's so cold in my back.)" Zain smiled while falling back down. "(It's sad how you know how important something is only when you lose it! I'm sorry.... DAD!)" Zain Blacked out. While Zain was falling Mike heard a lightning strike hit and saw a Yellow ball fall out of Zain's clothes.
Ten to Fifteen Minutes before the accident. Helal was running away from Leon whilst James was healing him. Helal stops and draws his sword and turns around and tries to slash Leon but he dodges it and jumps back. Seeing Leon jump back Helal continues running away and Leon follows him. "(He is planning to finish me in one slice so that James can't heal me. Cleaver kid he calculated my range of attack and is keeping his distance only striking when the enemy is in his attack range. too bad he still doesn't know.)" They both kept running and jumping above fallen tree trunks. "(Why isn't he fighting back? that guy is just dodging my attacks and not countering them with his own. He has something, something he is confident that will kill me. I have to analyze his patterns and movements. But they are hard to follow because he is not using any. I've risked so many things in the last Hour and a half. I don't think that I can risk this one too it's dangerous.)" suddenly Helal faces a dead end. "How is this hill so long?" he turns around and gets ready for the inevitable fight up ahead. "guess it's time!" Leon stands in front of him and they both are waiting for the other to make the first move. "(From what I saw his hand glowed green that means he fires at a distance, so I should get close to have an advanta-)" Leon suddenly dashes forwards and turns his green energy into the shape of a sword. Helal was caught by surprise and barley Blocks his attack with his own sword and they push each other back. "How did you do this? I thought no one could have two classes!" Leon chuckled and transformed his sword into a bow. "You should go back to school kid because everyone can do it!" He fires three arrows at Helal. "They're fast!" Deflecting Two of the arrows and one scratches him in the cheek and blood runs down. Leon didn't let Helal take a break and dashed towards him reverting the bow into the sword he swings at Helal. He dodges them and tries to block them. Both their swords collided with each other. "Hey you're not half bad for a small child." They both push each other back again. "Thanks, too bad that you won't be alive to see this child flourish into a nice strong man." Leon laughed "YOU think you could beat ME? Don't make me laugh." James turned his healing power into an empowering power, and buffed Leon's speed and the color of his energy turned from green to red. "There, this should be more than enough to take that brat down." Helal leans forward and grips his sword. "Oh you're trying to finish this quickly? Too bad, I gave you a chance back there and you blew it" lightning came down from the sky and wrapped electricity around Helal. "Sorry, but my teacher said to not take offers from strangers. so I passed on that offer of yours." Leon charged all of his empowered energy into the sword. "Then I will make it quick and easy! so you won't feel a thing." The lightning came down and struck Helal's sword that was on his back. They both dash at each other. Helal unsheathes and Leon swings. They both cross and swing their swords. "Wait, why didn't I feel like I cut that kid? Hah I guess I melted his bones to the point that I felt like I cut the air." Leon turns and looks behind him. He sees a beheaded body on the ground and blood leaking like a fountain. He sees Helal standing looking back at him and he muttered a single word after sheathing his sword. "Thunder Strike" Leon then sees James's head falling into his view point and lands on the ground with blood everywhere Leon was traumatized at the sight of his dead comrade in front of him. "NO!!! NO!!! How!! How!! HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO MY COMRADE!!!!" Leon shouted. "People who are in a berserk state of mind will bound to make a mistake." Leon blindly Dashes to Helal with veins popping out of his head "CURSE YOU!!!!!" Helal calmly unsheathes his sword again. "Sleep well." He then separated Leon's head from his body and flashed through him. looking back at Leon and James's bodies and bows to the fallen enemies, giving them respect.
Back where Zain was falling. Mike looked at where he heard the lightning came from. "what is going on over there? what are those Two idiots doing?" the yellow ball that fell from Zain's clothes fell faster than him. "Wait I don't feel the ball in Zain's possession anymore, did he throw it?" Mike looked at the falling ball and tried to catch it but he missed it and it fell on the ground. the ball then exploded and yellow light came out of it and blinded Mike. He backed off and then Helal appeared out of the yellow light. "Thunder Strike" in an instant Mike's head was cut off. Helal looked up and saw Zain falling from the sky. He throws his sword and grabs Zain before he hits the ground. putting him on the ground he sees his back and face, He listens to his heartbeats. "That's a relief. His heart is still beating." He rotates Zain on his front and then pulls a bottle out of his pocket and pours some of it on Zain's back and some on his face. "I should thank Ray for giving me this medicine.
Two days ago. "Here take this." Ray gave Helal a medicine. "What is it for?" Ray put it in Helal's pocket "it's a medicine if anything happens any day to you or Zain you could pour it on your body and it will ease the pain." Helal held the medicine in his pocket. "so this works on the body from the outside and not the inside?" Ray nods. "Oh, And take this. it's another medicine but this one is for the insides." Helal grabs the medicine and thanks Ray. "Heh, Wow he really got my back if it weren't for him I couldn't have saved Zain right now." The wound on Zain's back started to disappear and his face started to get back to normal. The blood of Mike's body started to reach Zain's head. He opens his eyes slowly and hears a faint voice. "-in, -ain, Zain are you with me?" Zain then feels cold water on the side of his face. He sees Helal helping him stand up. Starting to regain his senses Zain touches the side of his face and looks at his hand. It was blood He stood there shocked and looked at Helal who was smiling to him. "Welcome back, My Friend." Zain saw Mike's decapitated head in front of it's body, He falls to the ground. "Are you okay?" asked Helal. "Ye-Yeah, it's just that. I was praying that the first thing I would see waking up to was my Mother's face, But This world isn't merciful, is it? What happened to the other two?" Helal grabbed his sword and showed Zain the the amount of Blood on it. "Oh, okay. was it easy??? You know, Killing them." Helal sheathes his sword. "If I didn't they would've killed me and gone after you. It's kill or be killed in this world." Zain wipes the blood off of his face with both of his hands. "If it's kill or be killed, what makes me certain that you won't chop my head off like them?" Helal looked in Zain's eyes. "What? Because you're not an enem-" Zain cuts him off. "I you're gonna say a lame excuse like I'm not the enemy I'm gonna kick your Ass!!" Helal went silent for a moment. "If you were working with them I wouldn't have saved you right now. If you were an enemy I would've killed a long time ago!!" The sun started to rise "So that little reason is the game changer for you. Just because I'm an ally you won't kill me? Consider me an enemy from now on. Come on kill me. I'm already tired of this world." Zain lifted his arms to his east and west. And left an opening on his neck.
"I can't consider you an enemy, you've heard what they wanted. They wanted to take you back to their Queen. Who knows what they want from you!!" Zain rested his arms. "How do I know you don't want me for the same reason as them?" Helal walked closer. "I don't I just-" Zain shouted at him "STAY BACK!!!" Helal stopped and backed up. "I don't want to hurt you and I don't want to use you as a tool like what they would've done. I feel it in my guts, our paths crossing isn't a coincidence It's fate. It's Destiny." Half of the sun rose behind them. "If you feel like it's fate and if it is fate, Why can't I feel it like you?" said Zain with dead eyes. Helal went silent. "If you don't tell me the truth then I have all the right to see you as an enemy!! Now SPEAK!!"
