Let the Light Show

Chapter 15 : HQ Compromised

Your POV

   After our small journey we finally arrive at a blue lake. Glowing from the crystal fish. Quartz lilies and emerald lily pads covered the surface of the water.  A small waterfall emitted from the other side of the lake. I was guided over to the willow tree and sit down. 

  "Levi...this place is beautiful. It's so beautiful and calm."

  "Tch. It's hidden, and no one has ever found it before and I'd like to keep it that way." I nod my head quickly as I play with the little fish in the pond. "Don't touch them, you'll get filthy." "Levi, were sitting go on the ground and outside, your bound to get dirty somehow." "Tch."

  Silence overflows us, but in a peaceful way. The waterfall splashing uno the pond, fish making small splashes. 

  "Would you care to explain why exactly you were up?"

  "I just couldn't sleep is all sir."

  "Your lying." So blunt like always. Not a suppose though you can't hide everything from humanity's strongest soldier. Almost everything.....

  "Levi....it's just some family business is all. There's no need to talk about it."

  "Why? Is your mom and dad trying to make you come back? Inform them they'll see you once christmas comes. They don't need to push any further."

  "It's not that simple...."

  "Dip sh*t! It is that simple, your parents are just a bunch of cry babies if they can't see their-"

  "Levi their dead!" I exclaim. By now I was standing up and my fists are clenched. I can feel tears about to slide down my face, but I refuse to show my weakness. It's gone quiet. 

  "Mine too." What?  

  "You learn to live with what happens. People die all the time, even when your not ready to let them go." 

  "I didn't even know them." What am I doing? Why am I telling him this? I need to stop myself-

SSSSSSSSSSSSS

"What was that?"

  Levi gripped my wrist and tugged me toward him. He pushed me up against the trunk of the willow tree as he pressed himself onto me. He motioned me to stay quiet as our breathes were ragged and low. The sound of 3DMG above us were loud and close, but now where they could see us. After they disappear, Levi runs from out under the tree and looked into the direction the noise went.

  "Their heading straight for HQ. We have to go now!" HE runs off as I follow on his tail.

~~~~

  "Get Erwin! And hurry, we were lucky we made it here before whoever is coming." I rush upstairs and start banging on doors as I go to Erwin's office. I find his office as I scream out the warning.

  "We're under attack!" I heard loud movements within the room, but left to get my sword Theo had made me. When I found it, I heard banging downstairs. Grunts and the sound of glass breaking. I rushed back to the mess hall, on my way everyone was going crazy, trying to find weapons or trying to figure out what's going on. When I enter the mess Hall, Levi is holding off 5 guys all in black and the rest of the upper ranks are helping him with the others. Our magical against theirs and normals against normals, although most was just a full out mess of just brawling. One approached me, a Chemist magical. He shot out acid from his finger tips as I flipped over him. I land behind him, low sweeping him in the process causing him to bang his head and go out cold. 

  I feel a great tug at the back of my head as I'm being dragged. "Hey! Not the hair douchebag!" I twist the attackers wrist and grab their head and bang it on the nearest table. The moment i turn around, a great giant man almost brings down a battle axe. Almost. Theo stops him by putting a shield in front of me and high kicks hi in the face, only to make him madder. He charges at Theo and tries to hit him, but couldn't. Theo was to quick and too clever, one quick  jab and he was out like a candle in the windy night. "Thanks, but I had it under control." I punch someone charging me from behind, knocking him out instantly and turn back to Theo. "Of course you did." He does the same with another, but he swung a hammer to his face. Poor Elemental magical didn't stand a chance.

  Back to back we fight off more swarms of men in black. "Seriously! How many are you guys! You just keep growing." The fight continues. Both sides not letting up and not showing neither fatigue or being restless. The wounded or knocked out are carried away safely away from the fight, as our numbers fall slightly, the harder we work to win. 

  "Just give up the girl and we'll be off! We know you have her!" Suddenly I'm grabbed and I couldn't move. Black swirls of darkness wrap around my legs, leaving me stuck in my place. It creeps along my legs only growing up and wrapping itself around my arms and torso. I've never seen this type of chakra before, nor have I felt this aura. Its powerful, but only from fear. Am I afraid? No? Its too fast...it must be feeding on everyone's fear. Everyone's fear in this room. The fighting has seized as all the men in black have transferred behind me. My fellow soldiers and commanders are all watching me closely and to ver is controlling this magic. 

  It's dark chakra for sure. An art so dark and deadly, yet raging with power and lust, to those who wield and learn it, is suppose to have a heart of blackness. But also naive. The darkness is said to be alive and it takes over anyone it can, someone weak minded, but also powerful enough to destroy whoever they seek while the darkness feeds on the fear of those around them. 

  "Although, I'm sure the boss, will like this one as a 'friend'. Just his type too." 

  "Let me go before I claw your eyes out." 

  "OH FEISTY! I like it. Maybe the boss can get whoever he's looking or and I can keep this lovely prize all to myself."

  "You sick scumbag! You let her go right now before I send a whole swarm of blades to your your sh*t face." 

  "Oh. Really, I doubt that is you want her to...I don't know, drown in her own fear." I could practically feel the smirk from this guy. The snake-like swirls of darkness grow rapidly towards my face as I start to loose my air flow. Then I can breathe for a moment and my vision is clear again. I hear footsteps fro behind me as the captor is now in front of me. 

  A long scar across his his pale face.
