the Spark of Aether

chapter 2 the dangers within

Shane POV

As we all looked around seeing this new land we had found ourselves in it was so. Extraordinary, so magical and so, goddamn an isekai thing ever, as Kal was screaming terrified wondering what just happened when Elio pulls his Shirt close to him slapping his face a couple of times "Are you just gonna keep screaming all the time or are you gonna SHUT UP!!" As Elio said angered when Kal took a back for a sec and started to breathe in and breath out, as he started to calm down "How the hell did we get here? Is this some kind of dream?" I said trying to figure out if we were Hallucinating or not "I mean, did Slap the shit out of that kid, and kinda makes it all real" Elio said when we see Archie still holding on to the witch girl as Elio went closer to her in a threatening way.
"Alright, you better Explain what the hell just happened or your dead witch girl!"
Kal comes in front of Elio"Calm down Elio, besides we can't just threaten her, she's our only way out," He said and was right, she's the one who brought us here, she must have the power to take us back home but the problem was that she was injured painfully in the hip when the monster scratched her pretty inadequately, we all tried to figure out what to do when Archie picks her up.
"We gotta take to a doctor," Archie said
"There is a village nearby, through the woods, about 200 miles away," the Wiccan said merely conscious
"Alright let's go then"
I said then Elio stops us for a sec
"what are you guys, nuts! How can we trust her we only meet this witch!" Elio said
"Look it doesn't matter alright, if she dies we won't be able to get home and will be trapped here forever!"
Archie was right, our top priority was going to get the Wiccan to a hospital fast as we could we all looked at each other when we all agreed on getting the Wiccan help we all ran to the woods for a while as we then found a village which kinda looked all medieval times, where everyone's is dressed up so poorly and some looking more fashionable and all the houses seem so urban
"We need help! This girl is very injured, please we need help!"
Archie Yelled as everyone looked surprised but at the same time suspicious of us, as Elio kicks one of the barrels nearly hitting the village folks but instead hits one of the houses as Elio Yells
"Alright listen up this girl is badly wounded and needs medical attention! If not then I'll kick your asses myself!"

As everyone looked scared when Elio was making it worse for us but it didn't take long before the doctor comes in and take a look at her.
"I can help I'm a medic, let me take her, we need to make haste"
The doctor said as he looked at the girl and carried her inside as I and the others did the same thing. The doctor then puts her in a medical bed and takes a look at her as the others wait for a bit and wonder how are things going, as the doctor finally came out
"How Is she doc?"
"She's fine for now, her magic will probably fasten her recovery it should take about till night time, till then you boys might want to wait for a bit" the doctor replied as Archie and Kal looked down and Elio looks bit furious
"If you boys need somewhere to rest I will happily freely let you rest in the other rooms" The doctor offers, we thanked him as we went to the other room and started to think about and try to figure out what's our next move
"Alright I say we should try asking people around trying to figure out what's our next place" I suggested
"What about the girl? We can't just ditch her here" Gil asked
"Oh give me a god damn break are you serious?! What about the shit that just occurred? And you still want her to come along!?" Elio prompted angered as Kal stood up and spoke out his term
"Look I don't know her a lot, but don't forget she's our best ticket to get us home"
"Kal's right look our best solution is to keep our minds cleared and think of a next strategy," Archie said
"I'm with Archie," I said
"Okay I'm with you guys," Gil said as Elio looked surprised
"Gil you can't be"
"What other choice we have Elio, either 1 we die here or 2 we try to work together"
As Gil looked at Elio with determination Elio thought for a bit and soon or later sighed and gave up
"Okay fine, I'm in, so what's the plan then"
"I was thinking maybe we could-"
As soon as Archie was about to say something we hear villagers screaming we went outside to check it out and we see two knights that just killed two other people and all of us looked terrified, Archie was the only one keeping it cool as the one knight spoke
"People of the Ronariue village, we are here to collect the payment that you swore to pay us, if you don't we will kill all the children, and men and rape the Woman!"
As the village chief comes out of nowhere and speaks out
"We don't own you anything, you damn knights! As far as I can tell you have no authority here, so I suggest you leave or will make you!"
"How dare you!"
As the knight kicks the horse for a bit as it starts running at the chief but he dodges but another one comes and slashes his hand for a bit causing him to be injured, as the knights come back and try to kill him, Archie quickly grabs a sword and block their attack as the knights get off their horses, one knight quickly tries to swing at him but Archie can dodge and the other knight nearly gets Him but Archie can dodge as they swing their sword fighting each other a bit Archie seems to get tired, and suddenly the knight kicks Him and Archie loses the grip of his sword and the knight smirks for a bit and looks at him and tries to strike him but before he could do that suddenly Archie's eyes glow and says something
"Come to me... Sword of Arthur... CALIBURN!"
Suddenly Archie summons a great sword and armour appears and the knight's sword breaks, as the knight tries to take him down, Archie swings his sword at them and causes the knight's sword to break, the knights to fall and start shaking in fear as Archie looks at them
". . .boo"

The knights scream as they get up quickly and get on their horses as they say they'll come back with their champion the villagers quickly cheer for Archie as I and others go over to him
"Holy crap Shane how did you do that!" Kal ask
"I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sure it's some kind of anime power of something"
The chief then comes forward to us
"You might have defeated them but you should've let them die, now they'll be back with their champion!"
Then the villagers start to get worried as me and Archie look at each other and try to figure out what to do
"Look maybe we should get out of here and try to find another place and help the girl" Elio Said
"No" Archie Replied
"What do you mean?"
"Guys we can't just let them die like this we have to help"
"But how?" I Asked
"You guys help the villagers and evacuated here as fast as possible you can"

"But what about you?"Kal asked
"I'm going after them"
"What do you have a death wish or something?! Just because you have anime powers doesn't mean you are the freak protagonist" Elio aggravated

"Look it doesn't matter alright I'm going if I don't find you guys in about twenty minutes, leave without me..."
Archie said as he stormed off I and the others looked at each other then we nodded as we help the villagers to evacuate
