Logan’s POV

“Where are we going?”

“I told you on a mission. Now come on before we are late!” Eri said taking off down the road.

Goddammit she is fast. When I finally caught up to her everyone was waiting for us.

“Hey Logan, you finally showed up. I thought we were gonna have to wait 10 years for you to get here.” Spencer said punching me lightly.

“Can someone please tell me where we are going…”

“Oh don’t be such a baby. We are going to the desert. There has been some problems with some trolls that have come to the villages there kidnapping and stealing.” Suki said.

“So, we are going in there and killing ‘em! Its gonna be a slice of cake!” Kathryn said giggling.

“HELLO! WELCOME TO DUROTAR!” A busty woman said running out to us. “MY NAME IS FREYA.” She grabbed drew’s face and stuck him in her chest and started to hug him tightly.

“Hi. I’m Eri Nishikawa.” Eri said bowing her head. “This is Logan Brooks, Kathryn Silver,, Spencer Tachikawa and Suki Mutō. We are from the DWMA. We heard there was a problem witht the trolls who have been lurking around here. And the one our squeezing to death in your breasts is  Drew Anderson.”

“MY PARTNER… SO RELEASE HIM.” Kathryn said her face bright red.

“Oh, Sorry dear..”Freya said releasing Drew.

The her expression dulled and she let out a long sigh.

“Those ruthless, uncivilized creatures come here every night taking things from our town. Its usually is things but lately they have been people.” Freya added.

“Thats horrible.” Suki said tightening her grip on Spencer’s arm.

“Do you know of their location?”

“Well, they always come from the west. There is an oasis out there. They might be there. Sorry, but thats all the information I can tell you.”

“Alright thank you. We promise we will kill these ugly idiots..” Kathryn said throwing her fist in the air.

“Lets go guys!” Kathryn added walking off in a large gate swinging her arms.

“Kathryn..”Drew said scratching his head.. She spun around and looked at him. “Its that way.” He said pointing in the opposite direction from where she is going.

“I KNEW THAT!” Kathryn said quickly walking over there. “LETS GO!”

.

When we arrived at the oasis, I was literally about to pass out from heat exhaustion.

“Logan, bow form.” Eri said. I nodded and formed into a bow in her hands.

Drew and Suki formed into their usual forms.

“Kathryn do you see anything?”

“They are sitting on the far side of the pool. Holly shit they got a lot of loot and… Oh my…” Kathryn said looking through her scope.

“There are people! They are in steel cages, so its gonna be hard to get them out i think.” Kathryn added looking at us with a sad expression.

“I’m guessing they are the people who have gone missing from the town.” Eri said looking out at the oasis.

“Whats the plan?” Spencer asked.

“Spencer, I want you to go head on. Draw them to the other side of the pools away from their things. Kathryn, you will back him up. I will go for the cages and get the people out.” Eri said.

Everyone nodded and sprinted off. Eri sprinted to the nearest tree and began to climb it.

She started tree jumping to stay out of sight of the trolls, while keeping an eye on Spencer and Kathryn who were beginning to make their distraction.

“Are you like a pro at parkour or something…” I asked laughing lightly.

“Well, for my training I had to do parkour… So yeah, I guess you could say I’m ‘pro’.”

“Cool.. Alright, the cages seem to be an easy locking system…” I sighed “What would you expect from trolls, they really don’t know how to do anything expect steal, kill and rape.”

“How do you know the lock is easy?”

“Well, you have your talents I have mine. I’m able to figure out mechanical engineering, If there is a locked door with an impossible code… I probably could figure it out.”

“Nice.” Eri said jumping down in front of the cage.

“Don’t scream. I’m with the DWMA. My name is Eri and this bow is my partner Logan. We are here to save you.”

“T-thank you red lady.” A little girl said inching her way forward. “But, we can’t leave.”

“What?” Eri asked as the rest of them inched closer to us.

“We serve the troll king. His wishes are our command.” They all said in unison. “My highness wishes us to end the children’s lives who are causing his servants trouble..”

“We will do what our master commands. When master wishes something we carry it out without a thought.” They all said clawing at the cage. “...You will die now.”

“We need to get out of here. That cage is going to break.” I said. “Eri?”

“I-i can’t leave them. They are still human.” Eri growled lightly.

“At least fall back to Kathryn and Spencer. When these guys break free they will come at us. Kathryn and Spencer will decide if they are human or not.” I said. Eri nodded then sprinted to Spencer and Kathryn.

She loaded an arrow and fired at a troll that was about to hit Spencer over the head.

“Guys, the slaves are under some kind of spell… I don’t know if they are human or not.” Eri said pointing to the cage that was about to break.

“Okay, let me check them out.” Spencer said shutting his eyes then opening them. “Yeah, this is bad.. They are really close to becoming evil souls.”

“Not good.” Kathryn added scratching her forearm. “Where is this ‘king’ they are all blabbering about.”

“I’m right here you disgusting vermins! How dare you come into my place and kill my men. Say goodbye vermins because this is the last you will see of the morning light!” A dark voice thundered behind us.

We all spun around and saw a gigantic troll towering over us.

Its features were too horrid to describe; but the one thing I was able to make out was it weapon. It was a golden greatsword about 20ft tall.

“Oh fuck.” Kathryn said taking aim.

The king saw Kathryn take aim and simply swiped her from where she stood. Eri screamed out to Kathryn as she hit a tree and fell to the ground.

Kathryn laid on the ground not moving.

Drew reformed next to her and started shaking her. “Guys! Pay attention to this idiot! I can take care of Kathryn you just give this guy a piece of her mind.” Drew screamed picked Kathryn up and running over to the far side of the pool.

So they were out of the way of the battle.

“Spencer distract him.” Eri ordered.
