Lilith nods to show that she understands, although it takes her
awhile to register. "If it comes down to it, I still have some
energy I can use if we absolutely have to. But I'd rather save it
so I'm not completely helpless later" she replies. She doesn't even
have to try to keep her voice low. It comes out in a tired mumble
of words. She was exhausted, all she wanted to do was curl up and
fall asleep for days.
He began to feel himself waking up a bit. He had a painful
sensation in his chest, were the spear impaled him. He couldn’t
move or see, but he could faintly hear. He felt weak as heck,
wishing he could go back to sleep.
Fredrick soon got behind the temple and got sat down, setting Kendo
down in his lap and propping her up so she could get her
bearings.
''just breath Kendo, try to relax and catch your breath'' he said,
brushing a bit of her hair out of her face.
Travis nodded and, with a swift movement, hooked his arm around her
waist and lifted her up onto his shoulder before he made a beeline
for the stairs and ran down to get them to safety. ''Suzan we've got a problem, Madrix is down for the count and
Lilith is pretty beat up, i'm getting them both to safety before i
do a blood transfusion on Madrix.. Lux is dead, thanks to his
impatients this village has gone on alert' he spoke to Suzan
telepathically, using the link that was shared.
Suzan landed down on the planet, His impact caused a crater
significantly bigger then Lux’s. As well as an earthquake that
lasted for a few seconds. “Bring them to me” Suzan replied
to Travis.
Kendo kept hyperventilating, Not knowing if this was real.
Galahad almost lost his balance due to the earthquake. "...that's
another one....Should we check out where the intruder might be?" he
turned to Gris and Poppy with a somewhat troubled look.
Travis nodded and once he made it to the bottom of the stairs, he
then sprinted in the direction the small earthquake while using his
blood manipulation to push people out of his way. ''i'm on my way'' he said, being as careful with Madrix as
he could while continuing his sprint.
~~~~~~
he sighed as he seen her hyperventilating, his clover eyes lighting
up with a soft glow as he placed his forehead against hers and
stared directly into her eyes, using his Serenity Inducement
ability to help calm her back down as he spoke softly.
''Kendo.... your safe now, i promise you that everything is
alright...'' Fred murmured soothingly, gently resting his free hand
onto her cheek in a form of comfort.
Ced had followed Fredrick, wanting to check on everyone. He held
his cloak as he ran, using his air manipulation to move quicker.
“Is everything alright...?” He said unsurely as he saw Fredrick and
Kendo
Maeve carefully walks up the basement steps. She glances over at
Fred, Kendo, and Ced. She swallows down a panicked gasp. Kendo was
strong, what could've happened out there that put her in this
state? "What's happening out there?" She asks.
Lilith should be mad, she doesn't like being helpless, she is not
use to people helping her. The feeling evaporates when she sees how
far Travis is getting. She would definitely not be able to get this
far alone. She jolts in surprise when she hears Suzan land. A new
feeling moves through her- dread. How is Suzan gonna react knowing
three people he entrusted with this mission failed? The memory of
Lux's fate appears in her mind. Suddenly she has a small hatred
towards Suzan.
Fredrick smiled warmly once he seen she had finally calmed down,
the glow fading as he pulled his head back.
''save your strength'' he said, soon looking around as he noticed
Ced and Maeve had appeared, sighing as he looked to Maeve.
he had been surprised she had just realized what had happened.
''one of them has a manipulation ability.... they had her under
their control for a short while'' Fred explained, keeping it short
and simple.
~~~~~~~
''god Suzan's going to kill me for not helping you guys
sooner....'' Travis grumbled, mostly to himself as he soon ran past
the buildings out into the open as he made his way to Suzan.
Maeve curses under her breath as she clenches her fists in a fit of
rage. She releases her anger in an annoyed sigh. She should be out
here, but this job was more important. "Kendo, why don't you go
into the basement? It's safe there, your grandfather is also down
there" she keeps her voice gentle, but the fire never leaves her
eyes. "We have guards protecting the inside and I've been watching
the outside"
.........
"Kill you?" Lilith asks bewilderedly. "At least you've managed to
do something! Never mind that, I'll kill HIM if he even tries-" her
voice loses confidence as she senses that they are getting closer
to him.
Kendo shakes her head, She sits up straight in Fredrick’s lap. “My
grandfather isn’t in the basement. In event that something like
this happens we have tunnels leading underground. He’s probably
somewhere under the town with his guards” She said.
Suzan could see Travis in the distance, and waited.
Galahad kept watching Poppy as she wasn't in the best shape,or so
he thought due to her intense encounter with one of the intruders.
He kept a vigilant eye on her as the three of them kept looking
around.
''Lilith i was being sarcastic, but i wouldn't be surprised if i at
least get punched in the gut or something'' he said, looking up a
bit as he noticed Suzan in the distance.
Travis gave a sigh of relief seeing him, but also had a bit of
dread creeping it's way up his spine at what would happen now.
~~~~~~
Fredrick leaned back against the temple and sighed quietly, laying
his head back for a moment as he tried to rest a bit before
something else happened, but he flinched and looked at his torn and
bloodied sleeves from the small scratches underneath.
''that one kid did a number on my arms...'' he muttered, a little
annoyed.
“I have some salves if you need them.” Ced said as he rummaged in
his bag. “It’s a good thing that that girl didn’t do that big of a
number on me after copying my power...”
Madrix was slowly waking up, he could almost fully hear and regain
his sense of touch again. “Suzan’s gonna kill me...” he heard
Travis say. All he needed to do now was open his eyes, but he
wasn’t quite there yet.
