Moonlight Tempest (Completed)

The Rescue

Chapter 34

Leon was fighting Esmerelda. She was really good at combat. Leon found that he could barely keep up with her agility.

"You will be arrested! Just like your precious NH buddy!" She screamed at him. Leon tried to counter her attacks with his own, but found himself too distressed to. He was extremely worried about Anya. What was the Master doing to her? Leon's brain was going to burst at the anxiety.

Leon swiped at her, but missed giving her a shot. She hit him to the other side of the room. He hit his head on the wall, making him momentarily dizzy. Esmerelda laughed.

"You're going down!" She said.

"Not if I can help it!" Fernando said standing over a few of the Hunters who had attacked them.

"You! You think so? Well be careful what you wish for!" Esmerelda lunged at him. Fernando easily caught her and threw her backward.

"I should say the same." Leon saw Fernando's eyes glow yellow. Fernando held his hands out in front of him. "You're going down."

Leon saw lightening flash and crackle all the way to Esmerelda. She was hit and immediately fell to the floor, unconscious.

Leon was flabbergasted. "How did you do that!"

"It's my Ability. I can summon lightening as I please." Fernando said.

Leon nodded. Relieved that Esmerelda was out of the way. Now he could focus on finding Anya.

....

Sam ran down the halls sniffing for Leon's scent. He was close, Sam knew it.

There were a few Hunters in Sam's way, but he just barreled passed them. He didn't have time to mess around with some weaklings. He knew that all the higher up's would try and find Leon, and not guard the halls.

'Let's hope Leon's holding his own against these guys.' Sam kept running until he heard something. It sounded like a gunshot to Sam. He followed the sound towards a large corridor. He saw Leon on the floor clutching another person. They had been shot by a blue bullet. Sam saw that a guy with a gun and long white sword was standing over Leon. Leon had a pleading look on his face.

"You don't want to do this!" Leon was saying. "You know us. We're kids of your workers! Do you really want to kill us?" Leon said holding tight to the unconscious person. "Think of your children!"

"My kids have nothing to do with this!" The man said.

"We are friends with them, so yeah, they do. I just want to find Anya and get out of here! Is that so much to ask?"

The man paused for what seemed like centuries. "Yes." Was all he said. Sam chose then to barge in, changing himself beck into a human.

"Sam!" Leon yelled.

The man turned around looking Sam in the face. Sam was flabbergasted to see that it was Milo's father, Ryuu.

"Why, it's you! Samuel!" Ryuu said.

Sam was shocked, to say the least. "What are you doing?" Sam yelled. He was a little too shocked at the fact that his boyfriends dad was about to kill Leon. He wasn't going to concern himself with why Ryuu was there. Not now, anyway.

"My job." Ryuu replied solemnly. Sam caught that and was curious as to why he sounded that way.

"You don't have to do it." Sam said. "You could let them go and say they got away. You don't have to hurt them."

"You don't understand. I must capture at least one of them." Ryuu said, sounding a bit desperate. Sam wanted to know the reason behind his tones of voice. Was he going to get in trouble if he doesn't catch them? And if so, what will happen to him if he does get in trouble?
