~(sequel to 'The Black Wolf')~
After I was rescued by my old friend we return to continue to fight an almost never ending war. I don't know what lies in my future, or if their is any hope to win the upcoming battles, but I do know Adventure and conf...
"Yona! What the hell do we do about these things?!" The panicked voice of the young man from my earlier vison rang in my ears once again. This time I found myself standing beside the young woman. An almost ethereal looking hand reached out, grabbing on to the woman's shoulder. I felt power surge through me.
"Stand back Aslor. I got this!" With a burst of power all the strange creature fell.
The two figures shared a small moment celebration before the room began to flood once more with the small creatures. Both figure glance at one another before running further into the beast. Slowly the vison faded returning me to the present. Seeing both Keith and the Galran stranger facing one another, gun and shield out.
"I guess you can keep your weapon."
I groaned, slowly sitting up straight. Both Keith and the stranger looked at me. The red paladin looked as though he was going to say something but before he could I stood up and kept moving. Ignoring the pull that begged me to turn around and talk to Keith. We had a job to do and I planed on doing it.
I manage to arrive in another 'room' quite a bit ahead of Keith and his new friend. A smile imminently spreading across my face as I saw Hunk. "Looks like you survived."
"(Y/N)! You're okay!" The yellow paladin engulfed me into a bone crushing embrace. I only laughed, returning the gesture with far less strength.
Soon after we parted Keith and the stranger entered. Hunk began to grin, flying towards the red paladin. "Keith! Keith, you made it! We all made it! Who is this?"
"Some I found. He doesn't talk much. Also, he's Galra."
"What, do you guys all know each other?" Hunk laughs a little, "Are you sure we should be rescuing a Galra soldier right now?"
I rolled my eyes, moving to one of the walls trying to find where we would get the scultrite we needed. Soon the walls began to shake as more of the strange creatures flooded the room. Grouping together into a large ball before a group shot out in a line towards us. I pulled out my blade and a small pistol I managed to steal from Kiren's ship before we left, I focused on the area around me, dodging the creatures, slicing through. Keith, Hunk and the strange doing the same.
"They're everywhere!"
I looked around as the roof opened up. Everything began to get suck towards it. All of us managed to get a grip on something. I gritted my teeth, trying to hold on with every ounce of strength I could muster. Another sharp pain ran through my body causing me to lose grip. A wave of panic fell over me as I was pulled towards the whole.
"I've got you!" Keith's hand wrapped round my wrist, pulling me down towards him. He helped regain my grip. I looked at him, nodding.
"I think this thing is getting rid of excess gas produced from it's multiple stomachs." Hunk explained.
"What?" Keith exclaimed.
"It's farting!" Hunk laughed. I merely just shook my head with a small smile on my lips.
The wind started to die down, allowing all of us to regain our footing. I took in a deep breath looking back as the creatures once again the began to group up. Keith turned to Hunk. "Hunk, what do we gotta do to get that scaultrite gland to goop?"
"Uh, oh. Uh... Wait a second, wait a second, wait a second. 'Stay away from its face.' The blue laser." Hunk's eyes lit up as he seemed to realize something, "Ah! I know what to do!" Hunk began to fly off.
"What?" Keith questioned.
"If we want that third stomach gland to secrete the ooze, I need to get farted out of the weblum's butt and attack the face, getting it to fire its laser puke. For the sake of the universe, I'll provoke the beast. You three stay here and get that scaultrite!" Hunk cheered.
"You better be quick Hunk! Don't know how long we'll be able to hold these things off." I pulled out my pistol and began to fire at the creatures that were close to us. We watched as Hunk exited the creature.
It only took moments for Hunk to get outside. The creatures soon descended on the three of us still left inside. We were slashing and shooting each creature we could. "Hunk, whatever you're gonna do, do it now!"
"Roger that. Provoking giant space worm now."
I zone out of the world around me, focusing on only what I was fighting. Then the room started to get brighter and the creatures retreated. "It's about to get hot in here!" I spun around, eyes going wide. "(Y/N)! Come on!" Keith grabbed my arm and pulling me out of the way. The three of us grouped in a small corner and Keith throw up his shield as a bright blue laser ripped through the room. I closed my eyes and covered my head. I've always been sensitive to bright lights.
Once the light stopped, Hunks voice rang over the coms. "Tell me you got the scaultrite."
"Grabbing it now." Keith and I proceeded to pull out the bags that Coran had given us. We worked to fill them all with as much scaultrite as we could fit inside before attaching them to each other. I heard a click. Turning only to find the strange pointing a gun at Keith's back. "So, you're just like the rest of 'em."
I glared, pulling out my own weapon. "I wouldn't do that if I were you, buddy." I smirked, "I could kill you without trying." The stranger turned to me, only putting more pressure on the trigger. I gritted my teeth. I could feel my power beginning to emerge again. A few shadows beginning to swirl around my feet. "If you so much as graze him. I will have your head delivered to your boss."
The stranger picked up a bag of scaultrite, backing away, before taking off. Once they were gone I lowered my gun. I tried to calm myself, emotion was obviously my trigger, always has been. If I couldn't calm myself down fast enough... well we've seen what happens when it gets to that point.
"Hey...hey. (Y/N). Breath... just... just breath. Everything is okay..." I felt Keith's hands on my shoulder. I looked up, eyes meeting his once again. I managed to sigh and smile a little as I felt the power recede. Exhaution flooded my body as I rested my head on his shoulder.
"We should go." I whispered, "God I'm tired."
"We're coming out." Keith stated before looking down at me, "Can you make it back to the lion?"
I nodded, "Yeah... yeah I should be able to."
Keith nodded before grabbing the bags and leading me out of the creature and towards the lion. Once on board, I found somewhere to rest and passed out. Bitter thoughts about the time I have left flooding my mind, today only making everything more real then it was before.
Just wanted to say that I hope all of you are enjoying that story so far. Also updates may become even more sparce then before as school is about to start up again. I have also started on a comic which I plan to publish on Webtoon in the coming months.
Anyone who has seen my 'The Phantom' book will propably know the basic premise. But for those who haven't. It's a story set in a city known for it's science that has recently been under attack from two mask figures. There are three main characters each with very different lives, outlooks and morals and together they work through the story and mystery of who the true villain of the city is. If any of you are interested, I'm working to put it on webtoon as soon as I can. It is currently called 'Elysium: City of Villains'. If anyone is interested in reading it.
