"Hihihi... " Yami giggled and came to Skylar other side with Shimi on the other.
"So what are you going to do about him?" She questioned in a whisper.
Are you pretending not to know?
Skylar turn to look at her with a thoughtful expression mixed with a questioning gaze. She saw it but ignored it, her expression that awaits an answer to her question still remains.
Whatever bitch... I don't seem to understand you today.
"We catch the other rat first." Skylar declared.
"?" "?" "?" "?"....
"Eh!... There is a rat hiding?" Yami showed a surprised expression unlike the others that turn to look at Skylar with a questioning gaze.
"..."
This people either have terrible perception or that rat is good at hiding.
Skylar sensed the confusion his words brought to them except Yami. He chose to ignore Yami playful and exaggerated comments. He turned around, held Shimi's hand as she allowed him, then with the others following behind him, after Bilkis grabbed the immobilized young man, he starts walking towards the end of the hallway unhurried.
"Lord, is super strong."
"Yes, they caught Lord flower master easily and singlehandedly..."
"It surprised me too. Someone that toyed with the government faction."
"Mariana, don't you think it was too easy? There was no hint of struggle..."
"A cat may be king to rats... but to tiger, its snack."
"Mari, are you saying...."
This woman...
Skylar glanced over his shoulder at one of the four armed women following behind him excluding Tilda excluded, which are the ones their whispering conversation he is listening to. And briefly as thier eyes met, he smiled at the woman in question, and with her composed and quiet look unfaltering, the woman nods at Skylar in response.
"Mari, they smiled at you?"
"I can see."
"Do you think they have taking a liking to your fat ass. Maybe they can join us when we go at it."
"Radish, be careful of what you say. Most lords are not forgiving. Don't forget... some even hate when they are being stared at..."
I won't get offended by words though... and its not like she said something annoying... Skylar chuckled.
"Vishnu, the stairwell is behind... we hardly use it?"
"I see..."
Skylar smiled at Shimi's expository words that holds a questioning implication. He glanced at her and with another smile, he answered: "A rat is hiding inside."
But she said Vishnu?...
Skylar glanced at Shimi again. She also did the same, and as thier eyes met, both smiled at one another.
Her heart is no longer divided... I like that. Skylar shook his head in satisfaction, satisfied by what he saw.
A moment later, Tilda took quicker measured steps, as they reached few meters in front of the chameleon glass wall that ends the hallway.
"My lord, let's handle this?" She went in front of everyone and the other four armed women followed her behind her after they put a sudden stop to their whispering conversations.
"Its okay... just open it and step aside."
Skylar instructs, and at the same time, Bilkis with the powerless young man held on her shoulder moved closer to him, with Yami and Shimi on his either side, and therefore also in front of her. Then, as she match thier pace from behind, she protested:
"My lord, we dare not. Its our duty to protect everyone. Please watch us, we won't disappoint you."
Seriously now?
Skylar smiled as he paused, and Shimi tensed and not smiling unllike Yami, also paused as Yami did the same.
"Hihihi..." Yami giggled, a twinkle in her onyx eyes. "They are trained professionals, let's trust them."
"Okay." Skylar shrugged, and as if they were motivated—all battle ready—three of the armed women pointed the white gun they carried at the center of an outlined door on the chameleon glass wall, and Tilda standing behind them, after coating her cells, cloaked her feet and hand holding the hilt of her sheathed sword with astral energy also took her stance.
They really look professional...
Skylar watched Mariana—the armed woman he glanced at earlier, with a loaded crossbow in her hand—stepped forward and starts making her way towards the chameleon glass wall in an unusually relaxed manner.
This woman is crazy smart or she has something up her sleeve..
And this one...
Skylar glanced briefly over his shoulder at Bilkis. Then his eyes caught her brandish her axe with one hand, while the other hold the young man on her shoulder.
"Mariana open it." Bilkis shouted, she instructed.
That ass is truly fat...
While Skylar watched her huge backside with subtle reverence in his eyes; Mariana placed the palm of her idle hand on it at a random spot on the outlined wall in front of everyone *Beep... beep* and like a response to her action, white light glow where she placed her hand, and then three centimeter thick faint lines appeared outlining the four corners of the door on the wall, and another one passed through its middle.
*Click*
Like a lock opening, a small gap appeared at the center of the line running down the outlined door's middle, and as Mariana in one backwards jump put a reasonable gap between her and the wall, the small gap slowly starts widening, revealing what lays behind it.
Meanwhile, with Mariana crossbow and the three other armed women guns aimed while Tilda put her hand to her sword, about to draw it with muscles tensed with ether coursing through them; the door that is slowly opening finally fully opened. However Skylar and everyone didn't see anyone.
This girls are really trained.
Feeling impressed, Skylar who didn't care, watched the three armed women with intetest. He saw one of them aim her gun at the top of the opening gap, and another one on her kneels with one leg, he saw aim her gun at the base, and the last of them, he saw her aim straight ahead.
I wonder if they can really handle this.
*Beep*
Fully opened with the space behind the door empty; the tension in the air did not a diminished a bit; however, Skylar ignored the uneasiness that gripped those around him, instead he raised his head, and grinned broadly like a child who is about to get a new toy.
Here it comes.
Catching the attention of everyone; a floating white object the likeness of a skateboard slowly starts descending at the other side, just a hair breath from the open entrance like it can come inside with the next forward motion any moment.
Then like it teased them, the floating white object suddenly accelerated forward quietly, and suddenly stopped few meters in front of them and few meters above the ground, making their heart jumped except for two people.
While everyone watch vigilantly, no one took any action, except for the armed woman whose aim has been straight ahead; now she has her aim on the white floating board that look like a skateboard as it paused.
What next
Like Skylar was answered, an upside down head of curly golden hair cut into a taper fade and a face wearing a google-looking device and a facemask, peeked from the top of the door entrance. And a moment later after it probably scanned everyone, it moved downward a little until it only reveal its inverted neck.
Then a moment after another scanning, the head from above reveals a young fugure wearing a black short-sleeved t-shirt that hugs the body, a pair of camo pants and a pair of tactical boots, as he passed through the open entrance from above. And after he crawled to a spot at the top of the wall above the open entranceound and stand on the vertical wall like he is on land, overlooking everyone and denying gravity.
He is not bad, but...
In the next moment Skylar shifted his pair of eyes from the young person looking down from above at everyone, to the white floating skateboard-looking object closer to them; the young person like he is announcing his presence, starts descending spread eagle towards the white object, like someone diving from a plane.
"He is here! Attack!"
*Pew *Pew pew *Pew *Pew pew...*
Meanwhile, at Bilkis commands, simultaneous showers of light bullets from three fired guns at almost the speed of light reached the young person diving spread eagle towards the floating contraption.
*Pew Pew Pew *Pew Pew *Pew *Pew pew...*
The moment the light bullet was released which is the moment the bullet reached him, the young person motion seemed to transform and look like a leaf falling in a gentle wind. He appeared to everyone like he is intangible since the light bullet look like they are passing through him.
Combat realm of stealth, hyperfocus, anticipation and air flow...
Not bad.
Skylar nodded his head at the young person performance he seems to really enjoy, since he hasn't stop smiling for once.
*Pew Pew *Pew *Pew Pew pew...*
Suddenly, a moment later, the young person with his diving motion like the rhythm of a dragonfly amidst the shower of light bullets, reached the skateboard looking floating object and taps one foot on it.
*Hum...*
Meanwhile, coming from Tilda who has drawn her sword and swing it after she realize the futility of the light bullet; a sword light in an arc and at light speed reached the leg of the figure gathering momentum from the floating white contraption. However, like the move has already been anticipated, it narrowly missed the young person that took off a split second before as the sword light arc almost reached his camo pants.
What should i do to you?...
In hyperfocus, Skylar with his head raised, caught the figure traveling midair at great speed towards Bilkis who stood three meters tall behind him and about four meters away from him.
About to act; Skylar felt Shimi strong hug and holds restricting him from one side and Yami casual hold on his arm at the other side that also seems to restrict him.
Guess I will leave it to her...
Skylar sighed, and happening behind him at the same time; Bilkis vision as dictated by her eye movement, went from the young person landing on the skateboard to him appearing right before her with one of his hand going for the young man on her shoulder, all in about a second. And though Bilkis reaction was late, as she was caught offguard, she still swung her axe held beside her anyway, aiming for the underbelly of the flying young person from below or so it seems.
*Beep beep*
Finding a skirt her size must have been a quest.
Still in hyperfocus, Skylar's eyes reflect Mariana who leaned on the wall right beside the door that just closed. And suddenly like the young person was deflected, he rolled like a barrel midair as he returned, probably reaching for the skateboard, but he miss it just like Skylar judged as he looked back over his shoulder. And there behind him, he saw Bilkis staggered backwards like she was hit on the shoulder were the immobile young man lays after her axe hit empty air.
She seems to lack hyperfocus.
"Vishnu?" Shimi called. She sounded frightened.
"Hmm.." Responding, Skylar felt Shimi hug became tighter and Yami who is giggling released her hold on his arm.
What are you going to do next?
Standing In front of them is the figure with a lowered head holding the upper arm of his hand that went for the young man on Bilkis shoulder earlier, and with Mariana behind him as she leaned on the glass wall with no gap, but an outlined door, since she has closed the door during the chaos.
"Don't move."×3
Meanwhile the three gunwomen shouted as they pointed thier guns at the figure, ready to shoot at any moment. But anyways, the figure twisted the arm he held and restored the dislocated joint of his shoulder with a snap.
"I am from the government alliance." The figure declared as he drew his google-looking device revealing his bright golden eyes embodying hope and righteousness. Then he went to further remove his mask from his lower face to reveal a radiant, youthful and bright face that seems contagious.
A teenager.
"?"
His healing factor is not bad...
Shimi released her hold on Skylar, and slightly nervously, she stepped forward:
"Can we see proof?" She asked him.
As the bright teenager was about to put his hand in his pocket, Bilkis voice drew everyone's attention.
"Leader two, he is player 'Sunny', General Gad student."
"Eh... That General Gad." Shimi blurted. Her round eyes were like letter O as her hands holding the hem of her purple scrub top tightened.
"Yes, Lord Heaven Retribution." Bilkis confirmed. And her nervousness disappearing, Shimi pulled the hem of her scrub top further down, emphasizing her very huge bust.
"Ehm ehm ehm..." Shimi stuttered, she felt intimidated by the teenager's pure and overwhelming gaze that is still on her.
"Ehm... What does the government want from us?"
As she finally uttered, a voice and action hinting submission; the three women lowered their guns, and Tilda who has positioned herself behind her when she stepped out, relaxed her guard.
Another interesting character.
She seems to be the only one in touch with reality.
"Hihihi..."
Before the teenager replied, Yami giggled as her eyes went from Mariana who in her eyes, a fleeting and imperceptible look of contempt appeared, to Skylar's smiling face, confirming he also saw the contemptuous look that flashed in Mariana's eyes.
"Lavender guild second-in-command... please hand over the criminal to the government?" The young boy demanded with eye contact maintained, with a voice, clear and youthful, and with a tone, clean and confident.
"Eh!"
Taking Shimi aback; she was overwhelmed by the young boy imperialistic manner and she stood stunned, not knowing how to respond.
So this is why my inner demon has been restless.
