The Last Heroes: Warriors Against The Sinful

Chapter 1.19: The Bear!

Franco and Makoto were left alone now that Yuro departed.

"Listen, Franco. If you have a plan in mind, at least tell me." Makoto said.

"Huh, what are you talking about."

"Everything you've done up until now was not out of instinct. What are you trying to gain out of all of this?"

"I want an entire guild facility all to ourselves. Could you imagine what we could-"

"WE KILLED A MAN! Do you think it was worth going that far just for a FACILITY?!"

Franco stopped smiling and sat on the sidewalk, staring at the sky. "Makoto, do you remember the day we formally met?"

"Why the sudden change of topic?"

"What was it that we promised each other?"

Makoto exhaled. "It was to succeed as ronins, whether as a team or rivals. I know all that, but..."

"That guy you said we killed, didn't we do it?"

"Uh, yes, it was-"

"Then there is your answer! I'm not doing this for myself but for the both of us, dude. We will get that facility, the whole guild together, ask out our crushes, and have plenty of parties!"

As much as he tried to keep a straight face, he laughed and handed Franco a fist pump. "You are an idiot."

As much as the two rivals came to reconcile, a scream came from above them.

"......aaaaaaaAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!"

THUD!!

Adrian came landing right before them while still holding onto his chest.

"Wha... Adrian!!"

Makoto came to see what was wrong with him, but Franco felt spiritas opposite Adrian's landing spot.

~ZONE PROWESS: THE ZONE!

BWONN!!

He created a protective zone around them before smoke engulfed the entire street. Franco then expanded the zone to clear their vision, and a man wearing a cowboy hat appeared walking towards them. As the smoke cleared, the man disappeared.

"What the heck just happened?" Franco muttered to himself.

Yuro came crashing onto one of the buildings right where they were. As Makoto looked in his direction, he saw that Yuro was being choked and held off the ground.

"Let's see how much endurance your nagging voice has now!"

The other man's arm turned into lava and began burning Yuro.

"AAAAAAHHH!!"

~CASOULE PROWESS: CHAINED ANVIL!!

BLAST!!!!

Yuro fell back to the ground as the man vanished.

"This is not a good sign, first Adrian and now Yuro. Where are the others then?!" Makoto asked.

Ado ran around the city as fast as possible, eliminating seven of the ten demoniacs and fourteen more. Then he felt spiritas nearby and prepared an attack before jumping at the target.

"WAIT!!"

He quickly moved away to see who it was.

"Who the... huh...Kate? What are you doing here?"
