FINDING YOU AT LONG LAST

Chapter 4: A DUO AS ONE

"Listen, just tell me where he is and no one will get hurt okay?" a man spoke."Who?" a staff replied."Don't even hide it, our intels say that this is where we would find the boy and we won't leave without him" the man said. "We don't know who you're talking about" a staff member answered. "Looks like were gonna have to look for him ourselves boys!" the man shouted and in no time, search groups were scattered, looking for this "boy". Rolan set me aside and a mountain of questions are so waiting for him.

Rolan:"Look I know you have alot of questions right now but as you can see,it's not the right time to answer that. We have to do something about them"
Liz:" Okay I'll set the rest of them later, right now just important ones like who the hell are they?"
Rolan:"Assassins. From my uncle's"
Liz:"Wait uncle?! There here for you?"
Rolan:"You easily caught up. Nice Luney!"
Liz:"Duhh, I'm the top of my class"
Rolan:"Anyways, that man is the head leader, Tiron Gustave and the lady beside him is Penelope Vonich, his lover. I often see them train at our home as a kid and they are the most deadliest duo I have ever seen, even authorities fear them, so keep that in mind"
Liz:"Then we'll just have to be more ruthlessly deadlier than them"
Rolan:"You can fight?"
Liz:"(proudly) There are alot of things you don't know that I can do Ray, so yeah I can fight and shoot a gun"
Rolan:"Wow, I'm impressed. Very well then, I think you'll need this"

He handed me two guns and some other things like bombs and knives. The plan was settled. Before going, he leaned closer to my ear and whispered "Remember Luney, don't get hurt and don't you ever forget the name you just called me. I like it" and with that he jumped in. Oh no, my pride got me into his trap. Damnit. I am so slapping him hard for real after this. I jumped into the scene, but from a different direction.

My main goal was to minimize the minions while he deals with the strongly armed ones and attack the duo first. I have to be there at exactly 30 breaths but even 20 was longer. When I landed, black-clothed men already surrounded me. I took my first breath and attack with full speed. One by one I took them down and that cost me atleast 8 breaths. More and more were coming, I already lost enemy count. My fight was... intense? I am the only one against dozens and dozens of men, limiting my strength to use it for the final phase of the plan and an unknown plan I also have in mind when things take an opposite turn. My weapons were also limited but atleast not many of them carried guns. Now this is a real physical and acrobatic training. Battle dancing is what I would best describe my fighting style.

Aireal shooting while dodging is what I am mostly good at. What can I say, I'm quite "deadly and precise" as what Aunt would say. Some of them were hanged onto treetops with the thick vines there as a sturdy rope. I even made a wrecking ball out of three men to eliminate the rest faster. Never thought my training with aunt as a kid would pay off. Per calculated, I made 16 breaths for the whole brawl. I could hear footsteps coming closer, must be the backups. Oh well guess its time to use the last 4 to execute "the" plan. Hope this will be atleast convincing even though I'll probably throw up after. Wonder how Ray is doing-God I frick'n said it again!!!

Rolan's POV:

I hope Luney's okay. Nah she'll be fine. She is so much more than I could think of. Now where are they? "Surrender yourself Rolan or face the consequences" a guard appeared, followed by a dozen of them. "Geez are you really gonna listen to that old donkey?" I teased. But they were not joking and so was I. They opened fire but I was able to slip through while knocking them out within two minutes. After passing them, bombs were thrown at me like rain. With a gadget of my own, it bounced back at them like a game of baseball. It was fun but bloody and gross aswell. I hope this comes off easily.

I could walk but the others need help and time I musn't waste. As I saw Tiron and his beloved, a group circled me. "You know it would've been if you just listen and come home" Penelope said. "Whatever, wait how are you not old and wrinkly yet?" I asked hysterically. She went livid and was about to approach me when Tiron stopped her. "Geez you two, get a room!" I yelled. He looked mad but wore a profound look. He never changed then.
