The quartet exit the mansion on their way to the location the dragon resides. Ceketo sighs, "That boy is going to follow us, boss man."
Flint shrugs, "That won't be a problem, one of us is more than enough to slay a dragon. Our ranks are Legendary and a dragon is SS at most. There's no problem with that." They exit the gate to the city before them. They walk to the gates and exit the city looking at the cliffs in the distance, Chuck has a red cheek from a slap.
Aku looks at Chuck and he speaks, "Don't even ask."
"Life would be so easy for you if you stopped chasing girls." Aku speaks.
Chuck sneers, "It's their fault from being beautiful." He looks at Ceketo and she holds her katana. Chuck whistles observing the sky, "What a beautiful sky."
Flint takes a step then, "Hold it right there!" a voice comes from the gates, Aku makes an exasperated face.
The owner of the voice is the son of the lord, "I'm coming with you." He steps out with his chest puffed out. It seems his knights are unable to change his mind.
Aku shrugs, "Yeah, whatever." She walks ahead.
The boy lifts his nose up, "I'm going with y- eh. Pardon."
Flint waves his hand, "You coming or what?" the quartet walks ahead of them.
The knights have a bad look, they expected the mercenaries to dissuade the young master, that is why Lord Derrick didn't put much effort into stopping the boy.
Young Master grins, "I'm going to be a dragon slayer!" he wields his sword and lifts it high for everyone to see. The people gather and start to praise him for being admirable, he gets a big head.
Flint turns to look at the trio behind him, "Oh right," He grins, "If you want to go with us then you have to keep up with us."
Everyone looks at the mercenaries, the young master snickers. "Hah, as if you can outrun me. I'll show yo-....." they're gone. *WHEEEWWHH* A gust of wind blows, everyone is stunned humans can move that fast in an instant.
A few seconds before they left, after Flint finished speaking. He, Chuck and Aku glowed blue and they ran at full speed with Ceketo. They're Legendary rank, the young master is at most rank D and the knights are B at most. They never stood a chance to begin with.
The quartet are already at the cliffs and they've started to climb. Flint takes the lead, "Alright guys, remember. This is a test to see Ceketo's strength, although her rank is Lord we have to know what she's capable of." The three nod, the suddenly stop and Ceketo keeps running up the cliffs.
A dragon roars *ROOAARR* it looks down the cliff to see Ceketo running at it like a gust of wind. The dragon breathes fire down the cliff and Ceketo ducks dodging the flames, she throws a pointy knife to the side and switches places with it completely evading the fire that would deal 0 damage to her.
Ceketo jumps up and cuts a tree branch, she holds the branch and throws it to the dragon. The branch flies quickly and hits it in the eye, the dragon howls in pain *HOWWWLL* the dragon looks up to see Ceketo above it with the sun shining behind her and her shadow cast on the dragon.
Ceketo breathes in as things slow down, "We only need the head as proof. SWORD TECHNIQUES > SLICER" she swings her katana at light speeds. She rolls in the air and lands behind the dragon, she sheathes her katan for a pose. When she fully sheathes her katana, the dragon falls in pieces with only the head remaining.
Chuck whistles, "Remind me not get on her bad side."
Aku shrugs, "Don't worry, you'll be dead before we can remind you." She laughs.
Flint looks at the blood stains then at Ceketo, "I know you sliced it but was it necessary to do same for the blood?"
Chuck walks over, "Oh yeah, none of the blood has pooled. It's all lines." Ceketo did indeed prevent the blood stains from gathering.
Ceketo walks over, "'One has to be efficient when it comes to the sword. Weakness is not tolerated.' By Sword Saint Rhydderch."
Flint tilts his head, "You know a sword saint?"
Ceketo's eyes gets sparky, "Yes! He's the greatest! His sword can cut through Magma-steel like butter! I heard he could cut water from a waterfall so none falls down!" she speaks with excitement.
"Bullshit," Chuck speaks, "There's no way someone can cut waterfall and not let a drop fall down. It's a load of crap, you want someone with bigger achievements? Look no further!" he gives his handsome smile, everyone looks at him.
Aku rubs her chin, "So, you're saying," She tries to hold her laughter in, "You're a bigger crap."
"Yes!" Chuck retorts, "Wait what?" Aku bursts out laughing, "Haaahahahahaaaa!" Chuck's face twitches.
Ceketo walks up to Chuck and bows, "I greet you, Master Crap." Aku laughs even harder she cries.
Chuck turns to Flint and he's trying to suppress his laughter, Chuck squints his mouth and looks away. It's not that his best bro is laughing at him, it's that his best bro is laughing and trying to pretend not to laugh which makes it much heavier.
"Yeah yeah yeah," Chuck speaks, "Let's take this head back and complete the quest." Aku recovers from laughing.
Ceketo bows again, "Yes sir Crap." Aku bursts out laughing again, "Haaahahaaahahaaa!"
Ceketo walks up to dragon head and puts in her storage space. They start walking back to the city, Aku finally regains her composure.
"Let's get out here," Chuck speaks, "I've already have enough- *SPLAT* SERIOUSLY?!" Bird poop fell on his head. He turns to look behind him.
Aku taps Flint shoulder, "Filly, Filly, Filly look, crap on crap. Haaahaaaahaaaahaaa!" Flint covers his mouth and swallows his laughter back in.
Ceketo walks up to Chuck with a white tissue, Chuck takes it and wipes his head. "Thanks Ceketo, at least you care enough to help me." He keeps wiping, "By that way, what tissue is this?"
"It's Toilet Paper." Ceketo replies walking off. Chuck is frozen, he doesn't dare look behind him.
