"you know what I'll be right back I need to go grab something real quick "Arthur says while carrying a big sack on his back
Without saying a word he leaves the place leaving Kierran, Layla and Lucas bewildered
" I wonder where he went " Kierran says while holding a shovel
{Two hours later }
Lucas turns on his transmitter letting everyone know about his current situation
"Ladies and ladies , the supplies are at Arthur's place , I repeat the supplies are at the Ravenheart residence over "
Kierran then grabs his transmitter outside and speaks while Layla is busy inside the hideout
" Come in agent L this is Daredevil K, do u know where the hell Ravenheart A is ?"
"I have no idea agent DK , anyways is Layla with you ?"
On the other side of the transmitter Layla takes it from Kierran
"Where is art ?"
Lucas then responds to layla's question with also a confused look on his face
"Well he said that I should inform you that he is going to get the weapons at some dojo near symbiosis city ... He also said he promises after he is done he will never go back there again or something like that "
Layla then remembers that Arthur once had a martial arts teacher who taught him how to defend himself ...well her included because Arthur and Layla grew up in the same neighbourhood, so when she saw Arthur get attacked by some bullies back when they were in an alley coming back from school as they were heading to Arthur's place to help Arthur with his homework and mom's sickness she decided to stand by and watched as they brutally beat down Arthur
(2 mind later)
After the beat down Arthur received he was all bruised and had blood coming out of his mouth . His left eye was severely damaged as he could barely see anything with that eye and so Layla decides to come rushing trying to help him as he laid on the floor completely out cold , although she felt so useless because she was unable to help Arthur , after all she is just a girl ...
(45 mins later )
Layla carried Arthur all the way to an unknown building where it looks completely old , almost 100 years old from what it looked like .Layla gently put Arthur down as she rushed towards an old looking cabin . She bangs on the loudly trying to get some help as an old man opens the door
" What is wrong with you , are you the royal guards or something?" The old man screams from the inside
" Master Yami ,please I need your help . My friend has been severely wounded please help him "
Layla begs as the old man listened from behind the door then suddenly he opens the door
" Let's get him to the medic room ASAP "
( Two days later )
" Aghhh , my head " Arthur groans in agony as he holds his head and tries to get up
" Easy young man , we barely managed to get your wounds healed especially your left eye . It almost looked like you were stabbed in the eye because the injury was bad , you could have been blinded ...well half blind "
The old man continues to brew up something that smelt very sweet yet you could see that whatever it is he was brewing it didn't look edible
Arthur looks at the mixture in bewilderment and disbelief because he had no idea what In the hell is the kind of medicine or whatever it was . It was the first time he ever saw this and probably not the last time he is gonna see it ...atleast he had a feeling it wouldn't
" Uhm... So my name is Arthur Ravenheart I am 13 years old and well ...I really appreciate the help sir but I don't have any money on me ..."
Arthur looks a little sad ... Perhaps depressed because of his current situation of not only surviving the flight 220 incident , but also having his mother fall ill . The old man speaks
" So you are the infamous Arthur Ravenheart, the surviver of flight 220, can't believe this all happened six months ago . Layla has been worried sick about you know that right Arthur ?"
The old man speaks in a soft , welcoming voice ,trying to calm Arthur down a little bit because he could see the nervousness within him
" It's alright to be weak you know Arthur ... I was weak too back in my old school days yet I always got back up after getting knocked down , I taught myself how to fight and stand to the bullies that bullied me . So Arthur Ravenheart would you like me to teach you martial arts ?"
The old man speaks with a sign of courage , respect , discipline and an excitement in his eyes and body posture .
" Yes Sensei !!! " Arthur screams but then regrets to as he felt the pain in his bones which lets him to groan
" Fuck , my ribs " Arthur holds his ribs as he struggles to sit up properly
The old man laughs at Arthur for his groans only for Arthur to join in on the laughing as well. Suddenly Layla comes barging in through the door
" Hey I heard screaming is everything alright in here ?"
She asks with genuine concern but the two continue laughing and enjoying the moment
This was indeed the very first time Arthur had a genuine smile on his face with tears coming out his eyes . He continued on laughing as hard as he can while ignoring the pain in his ribs ...well entire body because of the brutal beatdown he suffered
Arthur has never laughed this hard before , Layla is deep into her thoughts as she smiles because she finally got to see the smile on Arthur that she had always loved for a very long time
"It has been long hasn't it huh Art , I can finally see that smile of yours and finally after a very long time I can finally say welcome back Arthur Ravenheart I really missed you "
Layla mumbles to herself as the other two continued laughing ...
