Orsan takes 4’s magic items and pockets them. Still wounded and bleeding, he takes a while walking back to the group.

--- Chapter 10 ---

Red: So what do you want.

2: Those crates yah got there. I want em

Red: I see, figured as much. Luna, get behind me, i'm getting a bad feeling about this chick

Luna: Buts its two vs one, we can han-

Red sniffs, and he smells a grand amount of power and mana from this person. This is one of Reds physical abilities. It is not an arcana, nor any other power or item. A unique skill Red possesses on his own.

Red: Luna! NOW!

Red took a more serious tone than his usual child like one. There's a sort of intensity in his eyes. Red starts to unbutton his shirt, followed by him taking it off. A red dragon tattoo on his back begins to glow, then move around his back, almost like a snake. It flows down his arm and forms a circle within his palm. A dragon blade erects from his palm, to which he grabs with his right hand.

2: So, you insist on fighting. Welp it can't be helped!

She opens her hands, and brings her arms back to where her open hands are next to her shoulder. She starts to curl her fingers and twist her hands. Part of the sand lifts and swirls, into two giant sand spears. They launch at Red and Luna. As it impacts it explodes into a cloud of sand.

2: Hmf, two kids, one arcana.

She starts walking to the cart, when suddenly erupting from the cloud of sand, Red moving quickly gets in close. Red swings his sword right at her. She has a surprised look on her face before backstabbing. Red keeps getting closer and closer, swing after swing.

2: Your fast kiddo, i'll give you that.

She lifts her hands, causing two walls of sand to protrude. She crosses her hand causing the walls to swiftly move and attempt to crush Red. Red quickly tries to jump back, but she creates a third wall behind him. He gets crushed in an explosion of sand. Red pulls himself out of the sand.

Red: *Cough* *Cough* Your, pretty good.

2: I don't need praise from a child.

Red: Oh yah? NOW LUNA!

2: What?!

She looks and sees Luna generating a large amount of wind swirls into her palms.

2: SHIT!

She generates several walls of sand. Luna releases her wind in a small puff of wind.

Within the first sand cloud

Red: luna, I need you to distract her with a wind blast.

Luna: But it's not powerful.

Red: I know.

He says with a wink.

Red: I noticed when she first used her power, it was very flashy.

Red starts to get up and dash in.

Red: Even if its not powerful, it's not useless

Reds blade grows red, and extends at a super fast rate.

2: Shit shit SHIT! There's no time!

The blade extends and stabs right into her heart. She begins to stumble and falls backwards.

Luna: We did it! We won!

Red: Yah- wait

Her body starts to rumble as it simultaneously crumbles to sand and starts building a new body. She rises from the sand being created, and regaining normal color.

2: Hmm, you were able to kill me.

Red: Obviously not.

2: I was hand selected to be this teams leader, and to perform this mission by our master

Red: What is that supposed to mean?

2: It means you have no chance.

Sand swirls on her back creating fairy wings. They extend as she starts to fly up. She raises her hand as a bunch of sand spears form.

2: DIE!

All of the sand spears rocket at the two, leaving a large sand cloud. As the sand settles down, Red is curled around Luna, with blood dripping down his back. He leans up, somehow still standing. His eyes closed.

2: How the hell are you still alive?!

Red sniffs a little.

Red: Running low on mana huh?

Red opens his eyes, his once deep blue irises are a glowing red.

2: What the hell?!

The hilt of his sword glows red and extends into his arm. Once this glowing tattoo is done spiraling up his arm, it curls around to the center of his back. 2 gazes at him with an unsettled look. The tattoo, that extends from the blade to his back, starts to bubble at a point on his back. In an instant, it extends rapidly forming a set of red photon dragon rings. The wings extend as he starts to levitate.

2: So what, flying alone won't make you win!

More sand spears appear and start darting at Red. But the hilt area on Reds sword is in the shape of wings, and these wings extend. The blade starts glowing as a large amount of fire starts rocketing out of the blade portion. He swipes with the sword at a sand spear. As soon as it touches the flames, its starts turning to glass before shattering on the blade.

2: W-what?!

She pushes her hand forward as these large sand spears rocket at him, multiples at a time. Reds wings shift position before starting to blast forward at high speeds, swinging his sword and disintegrating the enemies onslaught. Before long he is right next to her.

2: But I- Im IMMORTAL!

Red: No, you're not. You're about to be burnt into glass, then shattered. I will honor you last words.

2: G-GO TO HEL-

Red slices, causing her body to fade to glass. A small crack appears, followed by that crack rippling throughout the body. Before shattering into millions of glass pieces.

Luna: R-Red you were incredible.

Red: …

Reds deafening silence gave Luna an uneasy feeling.

Luna: Red, are you... ok?

The red energy starts spreading and growing on Reds body.

Orson finally made it back over to the cart. He sees Reds energy growing.

Orson: SHIT!

He runs over and pulls Red into a bear hug.

Orson: Come on man, you got this.

Luna: What's happening with him?!

Orson: His Insignia is taking over!

Luna: His what?!

Orson: Please Red, you have to fight it!

Luna runs over and tries to help. She pulls him in for a hug. Mica stumbles out of the stone pillars, with Ray's arm around her to support him. Upon seeing this they try to get there as soon as possible. When they arrive they are all trying to contain the ever growing Red as the energy forms around his body and is starting to form around his face. Reds intense breathing is audible to everyone.

Mica: Red, please… Fight it!

Ray: Red… don't let it win, you dont lose to anyone remember!

Luna: Please Red… Don’t lose… You protected me. You risked your life for me! PLEASE RED!

Luna buries her head into the glowing light, shedding tears. A moment of realization comes across Red's face of rage and hatred. A single tear runs down Reds face, as the energy retracts to but a tattoo on his shoulder. Everyone but Red falls down. Red looks around at everyone, who is now burnt and unconscious from him and his energy.

Red: Oh god, I did it again…

He says in a shaky tone as he starts to shed tears. His face bearing an expression of Shock and distraught.
