Suddenly, a voice came from behind, scaring their ass out.
" Who are you guys?" It had a funny tone, not a scary one, but somehow it felt scary. Henry looked back, frightened that another person had come to capture them.
He saw a figure standing in front of him, wearing a mask and a cloak; his eyes were the only visible part of his face through the mask.
Henry, with confusion in his voice, asked," Who... are you?". The figure gave a happy look, which could be seen in his eyes alone.
He raised his hand with kindness while saying," Hi." He kept his hand down and then continued," You can call me 47[1]. I am a member of the Taka party, only if you know what it is."
There was an awkward silence until there wasn't. Suddenly, Robert started to run while holding a knife with both his hands to stab 47. He did it, he stabbed 47 on his stomach and quickly removed it.
A red aura started to surround the wound, and the wound started to heal on its own at a rapid speed.
47 looked with confusion as Robert grinned like he expected it to happen. In confusion, 47 asked him," Huh, what were you up to while stabbing me?"
Robert, while grinning, replied," I was just checking whether you are one of us or not." 47 said," You could have just asked."
" Well, anyway, I want you guys to come with me, I can protect you guys from those, you know, mean people." He took a pause and then asked," What do you guys think?".
Robert said calmly," What's the proof that you guys ain't gonna use me, Henry, or Aoshi?"
Aoshi is the girl member of their team. She had blue hair with blue eyes with a cute and innocent face. She always wears a white shirt surrounded by a grey jacket, and green pants from below. She used to say these colors go perfectly with her hair color.
She was actually more innocent than others in the group to the extent that Robert called her 'Pure Angel'.
47 replied with the same kindness," No guarantee, probably we will misuse you guys to your fullest, but at least it's confirmed that you guys can live another day," he said with a humorous tone.
Robert ignored 47 and, instead of answering, went back, picking up his bag, ordering his friends to take their bags like a leader. Robert, while turned backwards, replied," We can survive on our own. No need for a person who will use us."
He then turned front and started to walk, ignoring 47 completely, walking past him like they didn't even notice him.
47 turned back and thought in his mind," How generous of kids they are." He smirked while thinking.
********
A clash was going on with many soldiers in a warzone. The mud had already become red because of the pain and suffering that occurred on top of that soil. Every step taken on that soil caused soldiers' boots to get covered with blood.
Two soldiers were special fighters there. One of them was Hidoi fighting against another soldier who was a member of the Lemoyne group.
The back of the suit had a lemon with a sword piercing symbol. He was holding a sword.
He says after a clash with Hidoi," You are pretty strong, I admit it. Well, let's end this fight as quickly as possible, cause you know we Lemoyne's have a lot of work to do."
Suddenly, he disappeared from his place and appeared above Hidoi, spinning his whole body whilst holding his sword with both his hands. Hidoi looked up, grunted, and pulled his sword out quickly enough to clash it with the opponent's sword.
At that instance, Hidoi's sword started to emit a red aura. The clash on its own with the other sword until Hidoi caught it with the handle with his right hand. The clash caused a mini-explosion in the area, causing both of them to back out a few metres.
The opponent was impressed by Hidoi, he said with a smile on his face," So, you too are a profacy, I see." He then stood back up, lifting his sword to clash the tip of his sword with the ground, causing some blood in the soil to pump out and bloom as if it were a flower.
He continued," My name is Shido, you can already see that I am a Lemoyne, and what else, I am a good friend of Hiroi."
He thought for another second about where Hidoi stood up and kept his sword ready for a defence," My name is Hidoi," He said," You seem pretty weird to me, you purposefully are not using your full potential, why?"
Shido smirked," Ahh, you realised already, no worries, I am just doing my job." He suddenly appeared in front of Hidoi with his sword surrounded by flame, going to attack Hidoi.
On the other side, Robert and his team were just hiding and viewing the battle through rocks. Henry asked," Can you do that too?". Robert ignored the question and decided to just move from that place.
He started moving, followed by his teammates. He sneakily ran to cover himself from the rocks present beside the previous hiding spot.
While Henry was running sneakily, he got distracted. He fell with a scream. Everyone noticed him, all the soldiers with Shido.
Shido smirked while in a fight," So, there they are." Hidoi's expression tensed as he realised that if he messes this up, 47 will kick his ass. He had to do something. He covered his right hand with the red aura and punched Shido hard in his face.
Hidoi thought for a second," Wait, why did...this feel so easy?" He looked confused, with many doubts which are tangling his brain.
He blinked once. At that instance, he looked at Shido to see nothing but mere red aura smoke. His hand passed through it, like he punched the red smoke.
His voice came from the left," I am sorry for not playing fair, but you'll realize how important this is later." It was Shido.
Hidoi looked to his left for a second to see Shido's face; it looked determined, as if he had decided what was correct and what was wrong, and now he was going to execute it.
Shido looked at Hidoi, his eyes red, with a thunder symbol in the center of his eye. A yellow aura started to emit, covering his whole body like a cloak. Lightning sparks started to appear with their sound. The sound was a violent crackle, like a sizzling crescendo of sparks erupted.
With the dust popping from the ground, he disappeared with immense speed, so fast that Hidoi couldn't locate him.
Robert turned back and ran towards Henry to save him. He pushed Henry away and stood in front of Henry, covering him so that the attack wouldn't hurt him.
Yellow sparkles appeared in front of Robert. He bit his lip in fear of his death. Shido appeared in front of him with his yellow aura surrounding him, his fist clenched like he was going to punch someone, but he then quickly realised he had the wrong target.
He blinked in his failure, and that's when he heard lightning sparks which were not his, so who would it be? He opened his eyes and looked to his right, but it was too late for his own good.
He saw a fist clenched, ready to punch, which was surrounded by a blue-colored aura and blue lightning sparks. Shido smirked when he got hit by that fist.
The speed was enough for the punch to be powerful. Shido fell back a few metres. He handled himself and looked up to see a masked man covered in a blue aura and lightning sparks surrounding him. Shido smirked more and thought in his mind his name," 47, you bastard, are still alive." he looked closely at 47's eyes and saw a lightning bolt symbol, which was blue in color with an intent or a mission close to the heart.
