Vile Exile

Chapter Thirty-Eight

Sage's PoV

Tightening my grip on the handle of Lucinda I raise the sword, my jaw clenching tightly I go to drop the blade onto one of Juanita's men but stop inches away from his shoulder, his hands up in the air as he flinches "Why'd you stop..?" He asks uneasily, sheathing Lucinda within under a second I grab the mans collar, pulling him up I hold my hidden blade to his throat "You work under Juanita Roller. You don't want to die right?" I ask sternly, attempting to mask the rage in my voice he shakes his head "I don't want to die!" He cries, humming I lift him up with ease before slamming him again a wall, my hidden blade still pressed to his throat "Then you'll answer my questions. And you'll answer honestly." I growl, watching him nod , tears streaming down his cheeks whilst his nose runs "Juanita has someone like you working for her. She must be desperate." I grumble, dragging him towards the headquarters I ignore a few glances from passing civilians.

Standing outside the interrogation room I scratch my jaw, my naturally blue eyes glued to the man known as Spencer Nolan "He agreed to talk if it means you don't kill him." Gina asks, folding my arms over my chest I nod "If it means I get information about Juanita I can hold back on murdering this son of a bitch." I respond, watching as Amanda stands in the room, her hands tucked into her pockets as she stares at Spencer I scowl "Where is Juanita?" Amanda asks "She's everywhere and she's nowhere." He responds, standing upright I storm into the room, grabbing his collar as dark grey flames ripple off of my body I hold him up "Where is she, you bastard." I growl, the heat of my flames burning his neck slightly, Amanda and Gina stand there not doing a single thing about my actions "She's in Gollogh." He manages to say, his voice strained "Thanks for the cooperation." I grumble before dropping him and turning.

Stretching backwards, my back clicks "Alright Squadron, lets go tackle this Psycho." I say seriously and loudly, the assault squad except Levi, the Platinum Squad, and the Hunters Troupe gearing up as they walk towards the exit I scratch my jaw as I walk towards the exit, I feel someone catch my hand "Your damn lucky I love you else I'd kick your ass." Looking down at Levi who's holding my hand with his right hand and a small sheathed dagger with his left "I'd prefer if you said 'good luck, babe' but I love you too." I chuckle, watching as he lifts my hand he places the sheathed dagger in it "It's infused with poison. If you get any sorts of close to dying. Use it to kill whoever is hurting you." He says seriously, holding the weapon as he steps back he inhales as he turns "Come back safe. Okay?" He asks, smiling I nod "Of course." I whisper as he walks away.

Watching carefully as my men storm the building Juanita is currently in, slaughtering the men that try to stop us from advancing I run alongside Gina towards the stairs "Your really gonna kill her?" She asks as we sprint up the staircase, my hands gripping both swords tightly "She dare threaten my soulmate? Killing her is an understatement." I respond, watching her nod she exhales "It's your call Kageyama." She murmurs, nodding I come to a halt as we stand in an empty room.

Leaning back, my swords hanging beside me as I stare at Juanita "now, there's the psychopathic dragon I love to see." She chirps, swallowing a lump in my throat I exhale "Now, either your here to kill me or your here to agree to marry me." She hums, growling lowly I move my hands so my swords are pointing outwards "I'm going to assume that means you've come to kill me." She whispers with a smirk on her face, Gina places her hand on my arm "You know I won't hurt you Sage, sweetie." She says as she stands I lean forwards "So your just going to block?" I ask as I sprint towards her I swing my swords at her, being blocked by her armour and sword "Guess I'm just going to have to try." She smirks.

Lifting my arm with all my weight, she stumbles back slightly, her deathly swords still holstered to her waist "Stop holding back Juanita. Would you risk your life just to marry me?" I growl, hearing her laugh she blocks another of my attacks "Honey I'd blow the galaxy up to marry you." She chuckles, growling I jump back slightly, Gina running to my side I wipe the sweat from my brow "I see you took your little naive boy off of the map. I had a difficult time dealing with it but he won't stop me." She says as she tries to regain her breath I dash towards her now, my flames brilliant and bright "Don't speak about him like that." I grumble as I kick her in the side she goes to block one of my attacks before fails as I lean down, swinging my sword, Divya up into her shoulder causing her to fall back, the dark grey flames rippling out of the wound as I step back "Guess I'll have to fight you after all." She murmurs, the sounds of her swords being unsheathed making me anxious, the deathly blades irritating me massively "This isn't good.." I whisper.

Feeling my scales appear underneath my eyes, my claws emerging as well as my wings, my fangs hanging out of my mouth whilst my grey flames surround my body, my dark grey eyes piercing through the dark fire "The demon dragon... so famed... so majestic." She whispers, dropping Lucinda and Divya I walk towards her "Going to fight me with your claws? That's new..." she continues, Gina leaning down to grab my swords "You don't talk much, then again you never was the talkative one." She smirks, Inhaling I lean down slightly, my breathing erratic.

"Die."

Authors PoV

The sounds of Claws clashing with the metal of Juanita's swords filled the room, Gina stood there watching as one of her generals of the frontlines fought against a psychotic murderous woman, Rage consumed him in a fiery blaze of dark grey flames. The feeling of wonder filling her as she watches, the feeling of being useless whilst her subordinate fights for his life. His monstrous side clearly on show as he catches his breath, standing with his back to Gina, his usually pushed back hair messed up so it cascades down over his eyes "One Knick is all is takes." Juanita smirks, blood dripping from Sage's arm from a small cut on his forearm, he falls to his knees and then to his stomach, completely unable to move.

An instinct of Gina as she sprints towards Sage, a small slice in her bicep causes her to fall down "Dammit." Sage growls as Juanita stands there, smirking down at the swordsman "The power of paralysis. Now, you just lie there whilst I get the wedding rings!" She cheers as she turns and runs towards a small chest beside a poorly put together throne "Once we're married, we'll kill that Levi together!" She laughs as she digs through the chest, Sage's eyes snap open as Flames begin to radiate off of him, his eyes squeezed shut as he strains an awful lot, Gina watches in concern whilst the monstrous swordsman presses himself to emit his flames "I.. won't let you touch Levi." He growls, the psychotic woman walking over and hovering over him, he reaches his arm behind his back discreetly pretending to be in pain "Darling, I won't be touching him. You'll be the one killing him." She smirks.

The sound of rings hitting the ground and a quick slice through the air echoing through the wall.

With a quick movement Sage had successfully cut Juanita's collar with the dagger Levi had given him before they set off for the raid. The black poison spreading through her chest quicker than Sage had anticipated, whilst the two lied on the ground watching as Juanita fell back, the silver and gold rings left lying beside her, she leans forward and let's out an inhuman noise "How could you move... just how monstrous are you." She snarls, sage chuckling lightly he uneasily lifts himself off of the ground "the demon dragon. How monstrous are demons?" He asks sarcastically as he shakily makes his way over to Juanita he stands over her, using his claws he slashed her throat with ease "He's got my back despite not actually being here." He smirks before stepping back.
