the battle has begun

Chapter 9: Um... What Did We Do...?

[Your Name]'s P.O.V

God dammit... I pressed all my weight against the door, as I glanced over at Dante. He's struggling too... This is no good... We have to fight them off...

"Dante..." It took me a bit to muster up the words, "Let... go."

"What?"

"Don't... make me... say it again... Let go..." He hesitated a bit, but lifted himself from the door, and the whole herd of tall and muscular men came toppling on top each other. I unsheathed my swords (If you don't use swords, then change it, I'm too lazy... Sorry...) and prepared myself. Dante noticed me doing so, and prepped himself too.

"You're going to pay for this!" One of the guards roared.

"And how are you going to do that, when you're hurt and on the ground?"

"Wha- Gah!" He was on the flood, with cuts and blood oozing from his wounds.

"Ah. It feels good to use these blades again." I sighed as if nothing happened. I stared at my two swords, not noticing that every other guard were furious and were about to attack me. Of course I'm not an idiot, and knew they were there, but I assume that I took a bit too long and didn't react fast enough, so Dante jumped into the battle.

He blocked there swordsmen, with his ruby red katanas and waited for me to move. When I did he let go and the swordsmen stumbled forward. Dante had his back away from the door as he stared at the three swordsmen. He didn't notice that other guards were coming after him, so I blocked them from getting any closer.

"Pay more attention!" I barked, "You almost got killed!" He flinched and turned around. I was currently holding off about five men as he took down the other three.

Before we knew it, we took out every one of the guards and were breathing heavily. I started to kick the paralyzed bodies out the door, as Dante dragged a few out.

"We have to get out of here fast, or we have to hide or even wait for the others." I started to ramble and I felt myself being shushed.

"Calm down [Your Name]. It's okay. We're going to be fine." I looked at him, and he just had a confident face on.

"Did I ever say I was worried?" I started at him. He blinked and his face flushed with pink.

"O-oh, u-umm well..." He scratched the back of his neck and averted his eyes.

"Are you guys going to stand there or are you going TO TELL US WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED HERE!" We heard another voice shout. I turned around and I saw Katelyn and Jaquelynn standing there. Katelyn with her hands on her hips and Jaquelynn just staring at us.

"Well... Umm... We can explain that..." Dante started, but didn't know how to finish his sentence.
