The Last Heroes: Warriors Against The Sinful

Chapter 1.14: Distrustful hope.

Franco and the others were in a waiting room, where they'd have to settle until they were sent to Legon City. Everyone was stressed and still confused about what would await them.

"Come on, guys. Let's cheer up! Do you guys know what we can get if we win?!" Franco said with excitement.

"And what if we don't?" Adrian said in disbelief.

"That was very reckless of you, Franco! You could have at least consoled us about this!" Ado said, honing at him.

"This was rather surprising...Who would have thought that we left Tedashii...for AN IDIOT LIKE YOU!" Makoto said while grabbing Franco's collar and slamming him on the wall. "YOU DIDN'T EVEN TELL ANY OF US THAT YOU WOULD GO THIS FAR?!"

"Yes, I did...Dazai and Yaryura agreed with me."

Everyone turned their eyes toward the two newcomers.

"Huh...Uhhh, hahahaha..." Yaryura didn't know what to say.

"YOU ASKED THOSE TWO PEOPLE WHO WE DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT WELL FOR A TEAM DECISION!?!?"

They all yelled at him, but then Dazai stood up. "Listen. I do agree that this was reckless, but Franco is right. Regardless of whether we do or don't save Legging City, we still need the support of the public. Since we will defend the Centre Digit, all the citizens will be gathered around the Vision Tower."

Rin and Ado understood his point, yet nobody wanted to correct him for calling it legging City...or Centre Digit. Bringing the City back to humanity's side was the objective, but that wouldn't save your reputation as a ronin.

"Makoto, he does have a point." Ado quoted. "If we succeed, that will take us one step closer to our main goal, don't you think?" Then, they all remembered their primary goal: becoming the most distinguished guild ever known. So Ado, Rin, and Dazai walked on the side of Franco. "If I am going anywhere, I'm following Franco."

"The more we fight, then the stronger we get. So I will use my light to win and only win!" Rin said.

Makoto was so disappointed. "You guys are aware that no guild succeeded for the past eighteen years? If-"

"If they couldn't do so, why don't we try to be the first?" Yuro said as he interrupted Makoto, then walked towards Franco's side.

Leah decided to go along with Yaryura, dragging her to Franco's side. And then the last two were just Makoto and Adrian.

"So Max. Are you with us or not?"

Miku was still in her house while Tedashii remained motionless. She had tended to his wounds, but he seemed beyond saving. She relinquished her healing powers and sat down.

"Gaiyato, I don't think saving someone with such an injury is possible. What kind of being must have had so much strength to plow a wound this wide? It's not a stab; it must have been a foot or an arm. But with this much strength?"

She kept thinking to herself.

RING! RING!

Her phone began to ring. "H-Hello, Miku Aoi speaking."

...

"Kay-lee Blake. Yes, I'm off competition for today...a patient this time-"

"It is a girl that looks like your niece! She looks like she is losing a lot of blood...what should I do, sensei?!"
