The Plan

  "In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable."
―Dwight D.  Eisenhower   

Eadred's P.O.V

"You can't. Both of you will only slow us down."
Maud said not even sparing both of them a glance. 

"Heeey...meanie flat chested! Are you saying we're weak?!"

Okay...he's 19. And he's sticking his tongue out to a girl.

"You-"

"Maud. We're wasting our time. Let's go." Vic really hates wasting time. That's my familiar for you.

"Wait!! Please.. I promise. I promise I'll be good. I will just watch.  puhlease..." -_-

Here comes the puppy eyes.
Unfortunately, that does not work on the girls in this house.

"OK..." Both of  the girls said in unison.

-_-
It surprisingly worked.

"Yeeey!! Did you hear that Ryuu? we get to have fun!!! Weeee!!! yipee"
 
His familiar nodded.

They seem to be excited and happy about getting to change the mission. But, the battlefield isn't a playground. The weak will not receive mercy even if they beg for it. 

"I disagree. You can't come with them Prince Shoú."  I said sternly. 

 I just earned a death glare.

"Who're you to tell me what to do?! Electronic freak?"

That did not sound nice.

"Pftahahaha electro- electronic freak? Priceless! Haha" Vic didn't help at all.

"Well, he's good at inventing and creating things for ordinary people right? Most of us are assigned to national defense so he's kind of unique."

O.o

I did not expect that from Tristan. Not even a bit.

"Thanks for sticking up for me man."

he just nodded.

''Basically, lord Pierce makes a lot of money.''  Maud -_-

"Prince Shoú, please stay here. We can't afford a powerless blue blood to go on a rescue mission"

Everyone exchanged glances. Even Tristan, who doesn't react that much joined in.

Except Blanche who was already asleep in the couch.

Then an unexpected thing happened.

"Na-ah haha haha haha haha"

Their laughter covered the whole mansion.

O.o

"You should watch your back idiotic Red."
I didn't like Vic ordering me around but my actions defy my mind's stubbornness. Turning around and my eyes almost popped out of it's socket.

All the sharp knives are pointing at my direction, ready to struck me.

Crap.

"Ugh-... Who's responsible for this?"
I asked.

I hope I'm wrong.

"Me."

"Shoú the chef is looking at you."

"Eh?... Oh..okay... I'll bring all of them back...sorry Mr. Chef!!"
My  spirit just flew away. Turns out, I'm the weakest resident here. -_-

"No way. I thought all you can do is play and control your teddy bear. Sorry bout' that. ''

"That's alright. My ferrokinesis isn't that big of a deal."

Yeah, being able to control metal elements using your mind, IS NOT A BIG DEAL.

Vic moved as fast as lightning behind me.

"Not a funny jest. If you want to fight,  I'll fight you to death, right here. right now."

uh oh Vic's mad.  

It's been awhile since I saw her like this. The last time was when she dealt with Tris' master. 

"Shoú. Apologize." Ryuu told him off. 

"Ooopss...that was out of line, a knife slipped...ehehe. Gomenasai Vi-chan. Sumemasen Ead-chan.'' 

''In english Shou.''

''Okay fine. I'm sorry, you  guys.''

Ryuu nodded. 

So that explains why Vic's so mad. She does insult me a lot of times but she still care. I'm her master after all.

Glad she calmed down already. It pleases her when someone apologizes. she's weird like that.

''So, what's the plan Vic?''

''Hey! why aren't you asking me?! I'm in charge here. I'm Clair's dad!'' 

''You said she's your little sister.''  Maud stated.

''I did?''

I earned my second death glare this time. Only, all of them sent me the 'look'. -_- 

''Fine, I'll shut it.''

''Listen.'' Vic Started.

All of us looked serious to hear her plan.

''There's no plan.''

  Boom.  

=_=

There goes our last hope.

''What the heck Vic? I thought you're going to say something awesome.'' 

''Our goal is to take Lady Eclair back. That's it. Raven can finish off all the members of that mafia in less than an hour. He only needs one back up.''

I agree. Raven can take care of this on his own.

''I'll back up him up.'' Maud volunteered. 

She sighed.

''Fine by me. But, if the three of you are not back until midnight, we will crash them.''

''Heeey..What about me?!!!'' Shou is at it again.

''You watch. That's it.'' - Vic

''Eh? tsk.hmm.. okay... fine by me...'' he says so, but he's pouting. 

''Ugh..guys.. Raven's not here, remember?''

'' He already went to the mountain.'' Tris informed us.

''What?! When?!'' 

''Ugh...Before Maud came to get me.''

''WHY THE HECK DIDN'T YOU SAY THAT EARLIER?!!!!'' we all snapped at him.
