The Eventful Expedition

Page 84 - Devin and Alex vs Lurk ~ Benny storms Kya Castle

Lurk rushes Devin while launching his Ansrit LionFish tentacles at him ~ Devin uses his wind to repel the tentacles and give himself time to dodge the follow up punch. As Devin dodges Alex1 rushes in landing a right neck chop knocking Lurk towards the ground. As Lurk falls Alex runs up and lands a left 6-12 kick knocking Lurk back up ~ As Lurk's head flies back he shoots tentacles at Alex1 causing him to disperse on impact. He then spikes his energy and punches Devin's wind blast softening the blow but he's still knocked back.

Devin and Alex launch a barrage of Air Bending Slices and Shadow Claws at Lurk. The camera pans towards Lurk as he puts his guard up before the array of attacks hit him creating a field of dust

Devin and Alex only keep up the barrage for seconds before Lurk rushes through the attacks with both his hands extended launching Ansrit Lionfish Tentacles at the two of them but with quick thinking Devin summons wind and pushes both him and Alex out of harms way

Lurk chases after Alex. He throws a left punch to the nose which Alex blocks but Lurk quickly follows up with a right uppercut to the stomach winding Alex. Lurk raises his left fingertips to the sky and makes his tentacles wrap around his hand and form a spike, he then counters Devin's air bending slice with the same hand from behind

As Lurk punches the slice Devin rushes with a windblade, he throws a 12-6 slash but his attack is blocked. Him and Lurk then clash blade to arm a few times.

As the two clash Alex creates Alex1 and has him hold Lurk in place. With Lurk held down Devin launches a stab at his chest

Lurk spikes his aura knocking Alex1 off his back and breaking Devins sword before it gets to deep in his chest. He then launches his tentacles at Devin to counter attack but before it can land Alex1 takes the attack causing him to disperse

Lurk stands between Alex and Devin once again

Lurk says, "You boys have pretty good synergy. I'd be in huge trouble if the Ice Prince was here."

Devin says, "You sure like to talk a lot. Is your ego super huge?"

Lurk lowers his head and says, "You know what. Fuck the bounty, I'm killing you both."

Alex says, "Would be a nice chance of pace"

All three of them spike their auras preparing for round 2. We're then flashed towards Keifer who's running towards the kingdom.

Keifer thinks, *Damn I hope they made it to the capital okay. Hopefully we get to have a drink after this."

He continues to charge the kingdom as we're brought towards Benny who's helping a civilian to safety.

The civilian says, "Thank you sir. It's good to see you again, our kingdom needed you."

Benny says, "I'm not staying. I just wanted to save you guys."

The Civilian smiles. She says, "Well I'm still glad to see you again."

Benny nods and starts heading towards the kingdom once more

After a couple of minutes he sees a white 5'6 17yr old girl with blonde hair, a slender body and C cups. Using Ice Karu energy against three men of King Nov's crew

Benny sighs and runs to help her knocking out one of the guys. Benny says, "Hey Jess"

Jess stares at Benny for a second. She then turns towards the enemies and says, "I didn't need your help."

Benny says, "Guess you're the same as always huh?"

Jess says, "Eyes on your opponent."

Grunt One runs up and Benny with his Bear Spirit activated. With Ansrit Claws on his hands he launches a series of slashes ~ Benny creates Ice Shields on both arms and blocks all the attacks. With an opening he lands a powerful gut punch into a left uppercut knocking out the grunt

Jess knocks out the the other grunt at the same time with a head kick

Benny says, "So uh-"

Jess interrupts, "I don't care. It's great to have your help but we won't accept you staying."

Benny smiles and says, "I'm glad we agree on something."

A horde of King Nov's men averaging bounties of 10million appears in front of them.

Benny says, "Is it time to work together?"

Jess says, "Sure."

The two charge at the horde as we're flashed back towards Devin and Alex vs Lurk

Devin shoots arrow from afar as Alex and Alex1 jump Lurk. Lurk is completely holding his own against the Alex's while dodging any of Devin's attacks

Alex throws a blocked right punch into a right hook thats dodged. Alex1 throws a right head kick from behind that was blocked by Ansrit tentacles. ~ Using his tentacles Lurk grabs Alex1 and slams him into Alex. He then uses Alex1 as a shield against Devin's arrows causing him to disperse ~ Devin continues his arrow barrage but nothing can connect due to Lurks tentacles.

Alex stands up and thinks, *Wow this guy is crazy. We might have to go all out for this.*

The camera pans to Devin who's thinking while firing, *This guy is insane. I might have to step it up soon!*

The camera pans back towards the sky and back down towards Benny and Jess who's fighting the growing horde

Benny says, "They just keep coming and coming"

Jess sighs, "Can you focus pleas-"

She's interrupted by an explosion at the castle. The camera pans to Benny's face who's full of shock

Benny turns to Jess and says, "I'm gonna go help them!" He sprints away towards the kingdom

Jess smiles and thinks, *At least he hasn't lost his protective nature.* she looks around at the men surrounding her and says, "You really think you can take on the third strongest ice user in the kingdom?"

The camera flashes towards Benny who's in full sprint.

He gets to the castle doors noticing they've been frozen shut. He musters a huge blast of ice and breaks down the door showing him a site that fills him with anger all the way down to the bone.
