Moonlight Tempest (Completed)

Fight, If You Can

Chapter 46

Ndar descended down on the group.

A man wearing a plain white mask appeared next to him. He was wearing a green Hunter blazer, while Ndar had a green cloak.

The man had a white sword hanging on his right shoulder. Sam knew then exactly who it was.

Sam swallowed the nausea he felt suddenly and tried to lead Milo away from Leon.

Milo refused to move however, instead choosing to watch Leon jump from the gaping hole on the second floor down to where Ndar landed.

Milo quickly followed suit, forcing Sam to join.

Ndar laughed. "You pathetic group again? What are you doing here? Not that that matters."

Sam saw Roger coming from his right. He had his sleeves rolled up and he had a calm smile in his face. Tom approached from the left.

"Ndar, my old friend. I'd like to ask you a few questions. So why don't you stick around and have a cuppa? We have much to discuss."

"Do we? I don't recall ever agreeing to talk to you. But, like I said, it's no matter at all. I came for one thing, and one thing only. I will take it, if you don't mind."

Roger glanced at Sam before looking at Ndar frowning. "What exactly did you come for?"

"Anya! There you are." Ndar saw Anya as she came out of HQ with the others. "Lets leave this place, shall we?"

"Anya, what is he talking about? What does he mean?" Alphonse asked her. "Why is he talking to you as if he knows you?"

Anya stuttered. "I-I don't know... But that doesn't matter!" She turned to the others. "We should stick to the plan."

"She's right Al. Fight now, questions later." Tom said to Alphonse.

"Fine." Alphonse said, somewhat reluctantly. He took his position next to Sam, Tom and Roger.

The plan called for Alphonse, Tom and Sam to take out Ndar's Familiar, and for Roger to capture Ndar. Everyone else was to provide backup when needed.

"She is staying here, Ndar. And so are you." Roger said.

"Really?" Ndar laughed. "I don't think so." He snapped his fingers. "Gryinion!" The large Griffon appeared. "Kill them." It charged right at Roger, but he didn't move. Instead he smiled, because he knew Sam, Tom and Alphonse would deal with the Demon.

Sam felt his canines grow and his nails turn into claws. He charged at the Familiar, knocking it away. He was going to do what he knew best.

Slay a Demon.

......

Leon drew his sword.

The masked man did the same.

This was it. Leon would either win or lose this fight.

And he sure as hell wasn't going to lose.

The masked man spoke. "You're Lilian's kid."

Leon took a deep breath. Of course, he knew her. They both held the same position. "Yes."

"You know who she really is?"

"I know."

The man hesitated. "Do you hate her?"

Leon was quiet for a moment. Why did he ask that question? Did it matter how Leon felt about that woman? "...yeah."
