Avenge of the Fallen

CHAPTER 7

Devil's Fight

"Olah my loves! Just checkin' you out." He smiled cheekly. Kumain ako ng piraso ng tsokolate at tiningnan siya.

"May nagugustuhan ka na ba sa kanila?" mapaglarong tanong niya. "Akala ko ba lulubayan mo na ako."

"Well, alam mo kung sino lang ang pwede mong pakasalan. Kaya binabalaan lang kita dahil maaring mahulog ang loob mo sa kahit sinong lalaki." Umiling naman ako.

"Really? I don't think that guy would marry me. I'm an ass."

"He's an ass too. Subukan niya lang saktan ka--babawiin ka nam--"

"Yah-yah--as if naman."

"Mga bagong kapatid ko na sila. Mas mabuting version kesa sayo." Kitang-kita ko ang pagdilim ng mukha niya dahil sa sinabi ko. Nilagay niya ang isang bowl ng chocolate sa harap ko.

"I'd kill anyone who dares to put you in danger that's how I love you." hindi ko siya pinansin. He said that all the time whenever we are together. Nakikain narin siya ng tsokolate. "Kain ka pa." ngiting sabi niya. Tumango naman ako. Muling naghiyawan ang mga tao kaya naman napatingin kami sa Royale. The battle had ended and I saw how bloody the Royale was.

"Not bad but not as good as you!"

"Good luck kayo na ang susunod!" sabi niya sa akin at ginulo ang buhok ko. Tumango naman ako sa kanya. I set my watch into 5 minutes.

Sinalubong ko sila Renzo dahil nandoon na rin si Rage. Bahagya akong yumuko sa kanila. Seryosong mukha lang ang binigay nila sa akin. Lalong-lalo na si Soul na hindi man lang ako binigyan tingin. Binigyan ko ng chocolate si Renzo na tinanggap naman niya kaagad. Tiningnan ko si Soul na nakatingin din sa akin. Napabuga ako ng hangin at binigyan ko rin siya ng tsokolate, panghuli na yon eh!

Mabilis naman niyang tinanggap. Umupo sila sa kinauupuan namin kanina ni Rage. Nginitian ako ni Rage at sinauli ko ang card niya. "Salamat pero nilibre rin ako nung nagtitinda hehe." Klarong namangha ang mukha niya dahil sa sinabi ko. Nagsimula na kami i-scan ng Royale.

"Ace, Rank 3. Rage, Rank 4." Lahat ng sila nagsibulungan kesyo babae lang ako. Hindi ko sila pinansin pero kita ko ang mga nakakalokong ngiti ng mga kalaban namin.

"Arrow, Rank 3. Mist, Rank 4." Nagcountdown na ang Royale at inabangan ko rin ang pagsisimula upang pindutin ang relo ko.

"It would only take us 5 minutes to beat you." ngisi nung Mist. Tumikhim naman ako at hindi sila pinansin na nagpa-inis sa kanilang dalawa. Sa 'di kalayuan nakita ko ang pagkaway nung lalaking nagtitinda ng tsokolate sa akin. Napairap naman ako.

"1!" and the battle has started. My watch started to tick and they started to attack us. "Are you going to use your weapon?" I asked him. He shrugged. "It depends." Tumango naman ako sa sinabi niya.

"4 minutes left." I said casually watching at my watch. All I did was to dodge their attacks. They are quite strong but not that fast and strong. 3 minutes. They let out their weapons. Mist was showing off his nunchucks skills and Arrow was doing some stunts with his knuckles. I could just shoot them with my weapon but they still have 2 minutes.

I saw Rage was about to bring out his weapon too. He was doing the same thing with me, he was just dodging their attacks. I signed him not to bring his weapon out and he agreed. I smiled and counted their last 10 seconds. I leaped to the right. Arrow gave me a blow aiming my face with his spiked knuckles.

"Times up." I said and started to attack them. Rage on the other hand did the same thing too. Arrow takes 2 seconds per punch. He's slow. I punched him vertically when he opened his right arm to punch me. He fell to the ground. Mist helped Arrow but Rage got him and he kicked him hard. That was good though.

They got up and faced us with angry faces. I stared at them blankly. This is taking too much time. I need to end this. I ran towards them and I gave Mist a punch. I ducked down when he attempted to counter it. With Arrow at his back I kicked his face by my right leg. Arrow fell to ground again. Mist advanced himself to hit me with his nunchucks. I was about to hit him when Rage knocked him off with a kick.

A slight pang escaped from my right leg but I didn't show any signs of pain. We knocked them off. I smiled at Rage.

"That was great!" We bumped fists and he ruffled my hair. "You're amazing." The crowd was too loud. But I still see the man at the store dancing around like an idiot.

"I didn't even use my weapon!"

At the edge of the Street Royale, Soul was waiting. I frowned at him. At sa hindi inaasahang pangyayari ay binuhat niya ako palabas sa crowd. Pinaupo niya ako sa isang upuan malapit sa big bike niya. May kinuha siyang kung ano sa bag niya.

"You're hurt." Sabi niya lang.

"Let me."
