Guardian Alliance Book #1

8. Declaration Of War

"You know, one of these days this house will fall apart if you keep bringing in strays." Allana said to Kenshin.

Allana, Kenshin, Moeru Joo, Seraiah and Drake are in the dining room of the castle home discussing the problem at hand.

"Your opinion is duly noted elder sibling... Continue Drake." Kenshin said.

"It's as I said, Dracula is planning to overrun the human race. He has an army of the undead, 5 generals and has the aid of a dark sorcerer by the name of Hanue." Drake explained.

"That name rings a bell." Kenshin said.

"It should. Hanue has been an enemy of the Shogun since grandpa Ryuuga took that title. They despised each other to a great degree but, they still respected each other. He vanished when grandpa past." Allana explained.

"Until now." Kenshin added.

"And he has aided my father's army in a great way. By blocking the effects of the sun." Drake said.

"That means the only way to stop the army is to take out the sorcerer. There is also no doubt that he will be protected." Seraiah said.

"That is correct. But there is something else. He is hesitant to make his move, because he fears the Furea lineage. He is trapped in thought between letting his army attack as we speak, or pick off the population by small amounts." Drake said.

"With that being said, I'll be putting everyone on high alert. Excuse me." Allana says as she pulls out her phone and exits the room.

"My king, it seems that if we want to permanently take care of the army we must target Hanue." Moeru Joo said.

"My thoughts exactly. Where is he located?" Kenshin asks.

"They have a base of operations located in a undersea fortress near the isle of Manhattan yet, Hanue has created more bases located and hidden in plain site. Those locations are unaware to me." Drake said.

Before Kenshin could respond, he felt the presence of someone outside.

"It looks like they went with the third option." Kenshin says as he gets up and puts on his mask.

"I'm guessing you sense the presence of the enemy. My what a dangerous bloodline you are." Drake said being impressed.

"Joo, Seraiah, we have a guest. I'll go welcome him." Kenshin said.

Standing outside scanning the area is one of Dracula's generals. He has bright yellow hair along with the eyes, Long navy blue trench coat, long navy blue baggy pants and a pair of blue converse shoes with no shirt on.

"Where is that little traitor? Come on out Drake I know you're here!! I can smell you ya little worm!!" Said the newest guest.

"What do you want Knives?" Drake asks.

Knives turns to his side to see Drake standing with his hands in his coat pocket.

"Well, well, well, the critter finally crawls from under his rock!! I came here to relieve the old man of his worries!!" Knives said.

"Let me guess. You came here to kill off the Furea? Are you so confident that you can accomplish that goal all on your own? Or are you just that foolish?" Drake asks.

"No dought the old man is overestimating this guy so I've come to do what he's to afraid to even attempt! But first.. I'll take care of you!!" Knives says as he swiftly pulls out a black throwing knife from his coat and throws it after Drake all in the blink of an eye.

Drake was ready to defend himself but before he could react, Sigma stepped in and caught the knife midway.

"And just where the hell did you pop out from?" Knives asks.

Drake couldn't comprehend what just happened. He didn't blink in the entire time that Knives threw his knife until now. He began to get this idea in his head that the Furea were more than just a group of powerful beings.

"Waaiiit... You're the guy aren't you?.. Nigma?" Knives asks.

"Close but its Sigma." Sigma replied.

"Whatever! It won't matter soon enough since you're about to be dead!" Knives says as he throws 8 more black throwing knives with incredible speed.

All 8 knives traveled in the blink of an eye, but still weren't fast enough. Sigma simply caught each knife in each space in between his fingers and before anyone knew it Sigma had thrown 1 of the knives back at Knives which left a small horizontal cut on his cheek. Drake was able to see it happen but wasn't able to follow it and the same goes for Knives who had no chance of reacting in time. Both Drake and Knives were in shock.

"I have a message for your boss and a warning for you. You let Dracula know that if he declares war on the humans he must target me first." Sigma says as he flings 1 of the throwing knives up every time it lands back into his hand.

"Wh... What's my, warning?" In less than the second Knives asked that question another knife was thrown by Sigma and left another cut on the same cheek he had gotten the first cut from.

Knives immediately began to shiver in fear. This time he was barely able to follow Sigma's hand movement.

"Would you like me to repeat the message?" Sigma asks.

Knives was unable to move his feet from their current postion so he decided to fly away with great haste. Drake found himself unable to move for the time being as well.

"Ooooh I could watch my master work for an eternity!" Seraiah says as she and Moeru Joo levitate in the air.

"Keep your hormones at a minimum will you?" Moeru Joo simply said.
