Mikel looked up at the top of the building recognizing iyador but he didn't recognize the young boy and two little girls standing next to him.
Aviel raised his blade and so did Tornia."He's a W.E.U agent. I know him, he's my friend."Friend is a strong word, Mikel. After today I might have to pretend I never knew you."
"It's not our fault we were attacked by a celestial guardian, it was self defense then after that we were attacked by people who had a grudge against Angelo."
"I'd bet a million you were attacked by the celestial because of angelo as well."No one accepts guaranteed bets."
"Anyway why are three kids with you don't tell me they were being kidnapped as well."No infact the boy here says he fought angelo last night and apparently his master was angelo's friend."
"Boyfriend."said Audrey."Wait oh come on again I knew it.Irine then interrupted mikel "Don't listen to her according to malika they were like six."
"Wait, that kid is like fourteen and if his master is the same age as angelo then she must have just been picking up random kids off the street.
Also im pretty sure minors can't raise minors."Well at least you know they were friends."said iyador.
"Malika's not raising us she just rescued up Jennifer and eruda does most of that stuff Malika is often off hunting down bad guys."
"And how old are those two?"asked aviel.Ryan then quickly responded."That has nothing to do with you"
"Kids these days have no respect."You're at most two years older than me."So what, I'm still older than you and I'm seventeen."
"Yet we're the same height and how can you worship a god that obviously doesn't like you cause how long have you been 5,7."
"I'm 5,9."No you're 5,6"replied Ornia as aviel pulled out his sword."Hold on undersized popsicle stick I think I like this kid."
Something then clicked in Mikel's head."Malika,Jennifer Wait, those were the names of the two girls who attacked me a few hours ago."
"Yeah it's unlikely cause you still seem like you're alive even if you dress like a homeless man."Mikel ignited his just as he stared at Audrey.
"I've never wanted to kick a little girl into orbit so much until now."Ryan then pulled out his blade as darkness surrounded him.
"I killed one brain fried fire manipulator ten minutes ago and I'm ready to kill
another."
"Alright everyone calm down it seems like we're all on the same side for now we want to know where angelo is and you want to save him and your master is his friend so we can all work together."said ornia.
"I wouldn't call it a friendship considering according to what we got from holi the last time they met they tried to kill eachother.
And he transformed into something called the trickster."Ryan then covered Audrey's
mouth.
"Wait those robes I said too much."Alright I don't know what secrets all of you have and frankly I don't care I'm forty eight minutes over the clock so let's all sing cumbaya and find aluro so we can ask him about the time travel
And why a presence similar to angelo started crushing us."Wait aluro he's another cardigan right."
"Wow mikel some friend, you are handing our angelo's top secret information like it's this week's office gossip."
"They both have cardigans and as you can see him a woman and a man but I'm sure if we count the ratio of how these things are handed out it's all women."
"That would be a nice theory, but like I've said before, most of the cardigans are male."We don't know that for sure."
"Alright aren't you two supposed to be high level agents."No, we're interns, that guy just likes the suit."
"Wow I knew the W.E.U had child soldiers but unpaid child soldiers too."said Daniel."You are literally part of a cult."
"I get maids free housing and an allowance."Can I sign up and get a top ranked position due to being a close comrade of your supreme deity."
"NO of course not and we don't even know if you're telling the truth or not."said ornia."Also mikel were not unpaid ofcourse you or alex wouldn't know that because you didn't attend the meeting to get your gold credit card.
Angelo took his entire ten million from the bank and rained it down over the slums. Apparently it was for some kind of ritual I did not even want to know."
"Ryan I feel like coming with this strange man was a bad idea."You think."Ryan's phone then started to ring as he took it from his pocket.
"It's crimiya hold on."Ryan, some crazy lady who says she's a follower of the trickster attacked me as soon as you left with that woman.
Four people have died already. I can't hold on any longer. She is beating me senselessly. Help me please as a matter of fact get Malika,eruda,Jennifer you're too useless to save me."
Ryan then hung up the phone and placed it back in his pocket."Your friend is in danger."said Mikel.
"I am aware but I don't remember ever being given a gold credit card by him and those ungrateful civilians can wait.
But he said he got attacked by a woman who claims to be a part of the tricksters cult. I'm no mathematician but two plus two equals they're the enemy."
Darkness then surrounded Ryan's body as he took a stance.Aviel and ornia took a stance as well causing mikel to hold his hands into the air.
"Wait I'm sure there's a perfectly reasonable explanation for this according to what I've gathered from these two they wouldn't attack civilians.
So let's just go and check it out to make sure there isn't any misunderstanding."I hate to say it but hot breath is right let's go I think I gave an idea of who attacked your friend."
"Watch it, small popsicle stick I can still fold you like a lawn chair."I'd like to see you try it, you charcoal dust for brains."
Ornia then came in between the two."Both of you idiots stop talking while you were arguing like children. I got the actual children to safety. People are dying, this is not the time or place."
"Finally a person without a single digit iq."said iyador."I'll have you know I have the tenth highest in among the interns."
"That would be impressive if there weren't only twelve of us."What was that."Nothing let's just go."
All of them suddenly froze in place as their very souls threatened to leave their bodies due to the sheer pressure they were feeling.
They all then looked up into the sky and saw a sight that terrified them.Emerging from a flaming ring in the air was a jester with bright red eyes smiling maniacally as it exited the portal.
"It's been years since I last performed so for it to be on a stage like this will be of highest honor."
The clown fully emerged from the ring of fire as the aura emanating from it started to cause people who gazed at it to tremble.
Some even fainted out of pure fear and shock.Inside a dark space nine individuals sat around a table all staring at each other.
