Chapter 43 - Chapter 43: Gravitational bait

"Guys!" said Jaune after seeing everyone coming, then everyone saw Bianca too.

"Bianca?" said all of them, confused.

"Yeah… it's a long story…" said her, everyone sat down on the ground, Eros remained still.

"How can we do it… the whole battlefield is a total mess" said Darian, lowering his tone while he ended the sentence.

"We were able to think of a plan to make different krukins run away" said Bianca, everyone still shocked that she was here.

Bianca, seeing their reaction, understood that she had not explained to them how she got here, so she started to explain everything, especially what she saw.

Everyone's eyes were full of terror, especially Jaune's, but you could feel that he was more mad rather than shocked.

"WHAT? We have to be fast then!!" immediately shouted Jaune, but Eros was able to silence him at the last moment.

"That is why I was against saying that part" said Allen, trying to see if the krukin spotted them.

"Don't worry, Jaune. With our plan, we will be able to make tons of krukin go away, then we will be able to save Nysira. You don't need to worry," said Eros, calming Jaune.

"Uhm yeah… but what if it doesn't work? What if we won't be able to free the way? What will happen?" said Jaune, with tears on his cheek.

Jaune's power never worked perfectly with other people, it was perfect only with Nysira. Now, without her, he was feeling useless.

"We have already thought of every possible scenario. With our plan, just a few krukins will remain" said Eros. Then Tauren went to hug Jaune to make him feel that it would be alright.

During every expedition they had, Tauren was always the one to help them, to carry the morale of the whole squad. Thanks to him and Eros's mentality, everyone always felt safer. Jaune's worries were slowly fading away now.

Ten minutes passed, Eros and Bianca explained the plan, and it was time to do it.

"I wonder when these humans will attack," said Garwhole. He flew onto Sappho's shoulder, who was still near the cross.

"I'm getting sooo boooredd… I don't even want to bother our prisoner anymore," answered Sappho.

During these 2 days she always bothered Nysira. This morning, for example, she started to rip off some of her hair. Luckily, she got bored fast, but what Nysira felt the other days was even worse. Sometimes Anacreon came nearby, just to see how Sappho was torturing the prisoner. Now he was away, together with Phocylides, meeting another of the 9 black defenders. They were coming up with a new plan.

Even if Phocylides was the one who took care of that, Anacreon was just there to imagine how the cities would fall.

Suddenly, Sappho and Garwhole spotted something… or someone! From the woods came out a boffalo, and it echoed really hard. All the krukins turned towards it.

"Everyone!!! Attackk!" shouted Garwhole, and about 25% of the army went against that boffalo.

"Don't you think it's a bait? It's just one" said Sappho to Garwhole, who just sent many krukins towards it.

"A bait? Against all of them? They don't have that much power, and still it is just 25%. We still have the rest" said Garwhole with his annoying voice, then he started laughing in a weird way.

'Is that… Vane? No, please… go awayy…' thought Nysira. Now she was holding back her tears, but the pain was even stronger. Being crucified for 2 days really hurt.

'How many do I have behind…' thought the boffalo, watching behind. There were tons of krukins, most of them krukspy, but in front of them there were around 20 krukdill, and there were bladekruk too.

'It's time!' thought the boffalo again.

It then took another route, which went directly into a dense forest. While all the krukins rotated, the boffalo jumped up on a branch… and it turned into a krukspy.

What Nysira thought was wrong. The one baiting them was not Vane… but Bianca! While all the krukins kept running, she fell right from the branch. No krukin noticed her falling down, so she entered safely into the army.

The krukin ran, but they lost the traces of the boffalo, until one krukin screamed. It was Bianca. With all the time she spent near the black planet, she learned what krukins say when they had to keep going. All the krukins simply reached their "friend" and started to run.

'It's all up to you now, guys…' thought Bianca, hoping that everyone would be alright.

"It's the signal!!!" shouted Eros. Together with him there was only Kael. As 15 seconds passed, the time for Bianca to turn from a boffalo into a krukspy, Kael grabbed a small rock next to him.

"I always wanted to try this…" He remembered what Darian told him the first time they met: he talked about the black hole and the fact that they could pull all things towards them. It was really similar to his power.

Kael threw the rock: combining the inverse gravity beneath the krukin's feet and around the rock, he created an unstable field. Many krukin began to float, drawn toward the rock's gravitational center, as if trapped by a black hole.

"What the hell is thatt!!" shouted Liztawul, seeing many krukins getting attracted by… a rock? He tried to get closer, but the force pulling him closer to the rock was really strong, he could barely hold it. He slammed his tail into the ground to hold still.

"Great job, Kael!!" said Eros, focusing on one bladekruk that remained on the ground. He was able to take its control.

As Eros grabbed control of the krukin, he immediately shouted, "NOWW!!" and Kael made the gravitational force weaker. While some krukins were falling down, the bladekruk controlled by Eros cut them down with its blade.

Liztawul saw the bladekruk attacking his brothers. He was extremely confused, but also really mad. He started to rush towards the bladekruk.

"Mass blade!!" shouted Kael. It was too strong. Now Liztawul heard them, he could just barely move his head towards the place. Then all the krukin there got pushed into the ground. The gravity became too strong.

"Nghh… arghh!!!" Liztawul cried in pain. He could barely get up, while the other krukins could not resist.

Liztawul was able to get up, just as he started to run really fast, with his whole body under the pressure of a strong gravitational force.

"You're mine!!!" shouted Liztawul, as he was able to free himself from the gravity. He jumped towards the bush Kael and Eros were hiding in. The moment he jumped he could see the two humans… Kael simply smirked.

"Got'chu!" said Kael after he lowered the gravity for him. Liztawul, confused, started to fly. On the moon the gravity was around 1.6… now for Liztawul it was less than 1.

"What the hell?!" shouted him.

Kael then modified the gravity for himself just a bit too. He jumped really high and kicked Liztawul.

"ARGHH!!!" screamed Liztawul. He grabbed Kael's leg and threw him into the ground.

Eros was currently taking care of the other enemies while he controlled the bladekruk, but once Kael hit the ground he lost control of the krukin.

"You think that was enough?!!" shouted Liztawul as the gravity returned to normal. He fell right on top of the two humans.

Eros immediately moved Kael away, because his leg was still crying of pain. Liztawul slammed his claws not on Kael's head… but on Eros's chest, creating a huge scratch.

"Pufff!!!" Eros spat some blood from his mouth. He fell on his back, Kael could barely help him.

"Hahhaha!! What did you two expect to do!!" shouted Liztawul as he rushed towards the humans.

But Kael simply smirked once again. In fact, when he fell he made Liztawul think that the gravity disappeared from everything… but it wasn't true.

Liztawul took a step exactly where a tree was cut down… or at least that's what it looked like. But the tree was still there, it was simply flying. Kael made the gravity for the tree 10 times stronger, which was exactly on top of Liztawul, and it fell right on him.

Kael helped Eros get up. Luckily he did that before, or it would have been over for them. Kael tried to help Eros but the tree was launched away.

"You thought that was enough?" said Liztawul, breathing heavily. He was bleeding a bit, but it was not enough to take him down.

He echoed really hard, all the krukin turned towards him and started to rush against Kael and Eros. Kael was sweating really hard, but Eros just gained his consciousness back. He looked on top of Liztawul, staring directly into his eyes, smiling.

As Liztawul reached them he meet his glance with Eros. 'His eyes are strange… why they are purple?!'

"It won't work!!" yelled Liztawul, rushing against the two humans.
