The team awoke the next morning, a weary feeling looming over the town. The source was unknown. The team decided to go about their day, exploring the village and having a good time. Or, the best they could have with this feeling surrounding them. They had no clue what it was from, that is.. until a loud scream was heard from the nearby forest.
The team stood shocked for a second but immediately jumping into action, running out of the town borders and into the forest, following the sound of the scream. they took out their weapons and prepared to fight. They had trained after their first fight, and they would be more prepared now.
As they ran farther, a scene appeared in their view. A cloaked figure stood over a woman with a sword impaled in her chest, blood seeping out into the ground around her. Her body stood still, no movement could be seen.
The team stared at this, a horrified look in their eyes, they began to shake from fear. They stayed this way for a moment, the cloaked figure smiled under their hood, reaching to their back and taking out a long sword and aiming it towards the group. A second later, the sword was bursting towards the team, all they could do was stare.
Everyone except Skeppy, anyways. Skeppy snapped out of fear as the sword began to approach them. He cast a shield spell, blocking the sword and shattering it into pieces.
<BATTLE START! ~ FOCUS: SKEPPY>
The rest of the group looked towards skeppy in shock, snapping out of the fear as well.
"Come on, we trained for this!" Skeppy said, keeping the glowing shield in the air.
Bad blinked then nodded, taking out his sword. Dream and A6d did the same with their weapons.
Skeppy released the shield as it melted into particles that slowly disappeared. A6d began to focus, casting a spell he had learned from the book he was given on Christmas. This spell made the rest of the group glow their respective colors dimly. But inside, this made their senses and strength heightened.
Bad and Dream took this to advantage, aiming their weapons and using the new strength in their legs to propel themselves forward and to the enemy. As they did this, the figure turned to dust, appearing again behind Skeppy.
Skeppy quickly moved out of the way of an attack from the figure as they swung their obsidian-colored claw-like hands at the boy. Skeppy took out his dagger given to him by A6d and went to stab the figure. The figure once again disappeared and reappeared behind Dream and Bad once more.
The boys jumped away from the figure as they attacked again. This time, they spoke.
"You can't get out of this. Stop running." The figure spoke, their voice deep and raspy with a masculine touch.
"Why are you even doing this?? Why did you kill this innocent person?!" Skeppy yelled, Dream and Bad returning to the rest of the group.
"Ah, well. For you four, of course." The man spoke again, smiling.
"What?" Bad asked in confusion.
A6d sighed, "Less talking more fighting." he said, lifting up his hand and launching large spike-like bullets of ice at the figure. When the figure disappeared and reappeared once more, though, the bullets followed.
As the figure appeared again, the bullets stabbed the man in his shoulder and lower torso. He grunted in pain, a sound of anger coming soon after.
He looked as if he was going to attack again before he froze, his hand stuck in the air as if he was frozen in time. He glowed brightly, it got brighter and brighter before a pure white flash filled the area, making the team have to cover their eyes.
When they re-opened them, the main was gone. No trace to be seen besides the pieces of the shattered sword on the ground.
<BATTLE END>
"What the hell just happened..?" Skeppy asked the others.
"No clue." Dream replied, staring intently at the spot where the man disappeared.
"We should get back..." A6d said, turning to the way they came.
"Wh-what.." Bad started, his voice shaky. "What do we do with her...?" He asked, looking the woman, still frozen on the ground.
"We'll have to tell the guards..." Skeppy said with a sad tone to his voice.
Bad nodded, frowning more and looking down as he and the rest of the team began to walk off. Skeppy ran a bit to catch up to Bad, grabbing his hand in an attempt to comfort him. Bad looked shocked for a second before holding the other's hand back, smiling sadly.
The four went back to the village and did what they had to do. They told the guards of the woman's passing and they went to get her body to identify who she was and talk to her family as to what should happen to her body.
The team asked if it was possible to get updates on her and possibly be able to talk to her family, and the guards complied. They later found out that the woman was the teacher they had seen by the fountain that day before. A happy person murdered for what no guard could understand.
But, the team knew better. According to that man, he was going after them. It was all of their faults. But, they were determined to fix it. They would find that person and stop them from murdering any others. But, for now, they needed to relax.
The next day was the special day Bad and Skeppy had been looking forward to for weeks. Their anniversary of meeting each other and going to the academy. Though, the day was not as happy as they so hoped it'd be. A sadness loomed over all of them, and instead of celebrating, they were planning their next move.
"We have no idea about anything. The only thing that could possibly help us to find out who they are is their magic and the sword pieces we gathered. Where do we even go from here?" Dream said, sitting on his bed with A6d next to him and the other two across from him.
"I have no idea. Do any of us know anyone who could help us?" A6d asked.
There was silence for a few moments before Bad spoke up.
"The headmaster!" He said.
Skeppy gasped and turned to the other "Wait, you're right. She could help us."
"The headmaster?" A6d asked in confusion.
"Yes! The headmaster of the academy we went to before meeting you two. She said we could always go back if we needed help. Plus, she deals out missions to students so she could get us even more help." Bad said with excitement.
"Well then, guess we're going back to your old home, huh?" Dream said, smiling a bit. He has always wanted to see this grand place they spoke of. Guess he'd get the chance after-all.
