Chapter 24

“*SIGH*…another day out at the field… *SIGH*”

“Could you stop that! You’re been sighing since three days from now and it’s driving me crazy!!”

“Can’t help it man, we’ve been guarding this place for haft a year. AN ISOLATED ISLAND TO POINT IT OUT TO YOU!!”

“W-woah… C-calm down dude, I’m sorry so just cal—”

“NO!! I KNOW THIS GIG IS AN EASY MONEY, BUT WITH NOTHING TO DO… THIS IS REALLY DRIVING ME TO GO NUTS!!!”

“Alright, alright. But you really need to–Mhmm!!”

“LIKE HELL MEN, I CAN’T JUST CALMED DOWN.. I REALLY NEED SOME ACTION AND SHOOT STUFFS! I SWEAR IF I–Huh? Where the hell did he went off to? Did he just sneak awa–”

The man suddenly went limp before he finished his word or even had a chance to turned around. He didn’t fell to the ground because someone from behind him caught him and were dragged on to the dark bushes.

Moment later someone came out from that shadow wearing the same uniform as them, but if one looked at it closely it show that there is a slight noticeable difference from the other uniform.

The other uniform worn their’s behind their light suit that consists a chest armor, wrist guard, and leg guard, the top is covered by a hood and a mask that cover below the eye area. But compare to this person he looked more well-built compared to the rest.

That is because this person worn his uniform above his power suit (without the head piece), the same weapon he used were placed on the bag along with the other pieces and his head piece, he took the weapon from the ground then worn the sling on his shoulder.

He casually walked towards the compound while holding the bag, he blended in with the other taking a natural pace as he tried to avoid any unnecessary attention.

He slowly pace up to the entrance and passed the other guards without being notice, but it was suddenly betrayed as he noticed someone tracing a stare towards him.

“You there!” «?»

A voice, unknowingly whether it is a man or a woman, called out to him and walked towards him, holding his gun on front of him.

“State your name!” «?»

He was a bit hesitant of what he should do, he then soluted and said.

“X-Xherua Ganfir, sir!” «Xherua»

The guard’s brows rose up and revealed a surprised look, he scanned him from top to bottom.

“*SIGH* Kid, you’re new here aren’t ‘ya… You’re not supposed to say real name… Didn’t they told you that?” «?»

“N-no, sir.” «Xherua»

He slightly bowed his head down as if he is hiding his embarrassment, but the guard only saw him as reflecting on his newbies mistake.

“Well let’s not mind that.. I want you to take the post from the person called ‘Hogg’, and guard our newly guest. Tell him that his shift is up, got it? Now go.” «?»

“Okay, sir.” «Xherua»

He immediately walked faster and went to find the person named ‘Hogg’. He passed the other guards as he look and found a person on a Third floor, guarding next to the room.

He lower his pace and called out to the guy, but before he could say so he was called out by him.

“Hey, any news up stair?” «Hogg»

He just shooked his head as he walked towards him in a casual pace.

“No… But I was told that your shift is up and I’m here to replace ‘ya.” «Xherua»

“Really? Finally, I’m starting to get tired from not doing anytthing… Alright, guard our guest well and don’t let them get out of this cell.” «Hogg»

He was then patted on his shoulder as he passed by him, he nodded his head as he took on his post. He head door opening and closing from the other side and waited for a bit seconds.

Now that he is gone, he opened the door and stepped inside just to be greeted by a surprised attack, it caused him to knocked back and saw that his weapon is now being hold by the girl.

“Don’t move, if you get killed!!” «?»

“Wait, wait!! Princess, it’s me, Vayne! Don’t shot!” «Vayne»

He stated out loud as he removed his mask and hood, revealing a pair of grey wolf ears and a grey hair. This youth that introduced himself as ‘Xherua Ganfir’, is actually ‘Vayne Aethersell Colard’!

The girls was surprised to see him that the twins just suddenly jumped on top of him, embracing him tightly.

Both began weeping on his chest that they might never see him again, Vayne understood the feeling of not able seeing the person he loved most, so he gently cares both of the Two’s head to comfort them.

But this scene didn’t last long after he told the twins that they don’t had much time because they would be move to another area after the next couple of hours.

When Princess heard his explanation, she began to barraged him some questions how’d he knew about it, who had them kidnapped, why were they kidnapped, and why is he wearing a uniform of the guard.

Many questions ran out of her mouth, but he only said “there is a time and place for that, but this isn’t the right time”. Princess understood what he meant and refrain herself from ‘asking’.

“I learn this when I’m about to head to this place.” «Vayne»

Princess was surprised when he answered on of her questions. When she looked back at him, he was ravaging something from the bag he brought.

Right now, they are only wearing the interior of their power suit. Currently they are vulnerable to the gun shot, so he distributed the light suits he commandeer.

He also handed to them the uniform he is wearing and began equipping the pieces from his power suit.

He handed his handgun and the other handgun that he commandeer from before to the twins, Princess already holding the weapon that he took so he only gave her the ammunition.

He advised them to that they should be prepare to take away the life of their enemy.

“…remember, once we’re out there… You aren’t the one who decides whether you live or not, that gun, the weapons they hold are the one responsible either you live or not. A simple of a trigger and the decision is made…”

His expression darken as he explained it to them, but to his surprised that the girls had already showed their resolved. He then nodded and began leading them out to the corridor climbing toward up.

He was already told by Arsur that his ‘acquaintance’ would be helping them but that person can’t afford to get his cover blown so he would be helping in the shadow.

He already seen some signs of his assistance like for example a door to the armory is ‘coincidentally’ unlocked and a door ‘coincidentally’ open slightly that leads to the roof.

Right now they are well equipped with rifles and he made some ‘little’ surprise for them to be busy with, he already placed them all over the place.

But when he looked back at the girls behind him, they are still somewhat vulnerable because of they were wearing pieces that were distributed to them.

As they finally made out to the roof, he could see the sun had already rose up. He then told them that they had to pace up before someone notice their escape.

The four of them move to the edge of the building and jumped down one after another with Vayne leading the way.

They sprinted fast to the forest and headed towards the forest, and haft-way they he checked the time and it was few second away from the ‘surprises’ that he placed.

….. 3…… 2……. 1

*BOOOM*

*BOOM*

*BOOOOM*

….

The explosion continue for another four before it stop, everyone were looking back where the explosion were set off.

“…. That would make them busy for awhile…” «Vayne»

“Just how many did you plant those?”

“Enough time for us to reach the air craft and escape, I guess…” «Vayne»

He answered not caring who asked him and just shrugged it away. But inside he was also surprised that he heard seven explosion when he just planted only three.

They continue running through the thick forest when he suddenly got hit through his right shoulder from behind and continued its course to the tree.

“!!”

“””Vayne!!”””

He then pulled to the ground after he got hit with a strong gravity like a mountain placed on top of him and heard the three girls screamed his name, he force his head to turned around and found the princess stuck on the tree and the twins lying on the ground with an extreme pull that seems like they were plastered to it.

“Look what we got here… I just caught three escapee and as a bonus, a one intruder. Luckily I place some alarm spell, if not, I would had not found you.”

He heard a voice from behind and saw someone walking towards them in a leisure pace, his ring were glowing and above it were a round circle with a complex lining.

Calmly walk on front of him and then started kicking his pierced shoulder, he then removed his head piece before he threw it away to the side revealing a blood traced down from his lips.

“Now this is interesting… A half-human, half-werebeast… And a rare one as well..”

He examined him after he expelled the pressure Vayne is enduring and pulled his hair up till the same level as his head, but not higher than his showing how he look down on him.

Even with the pain he is having, he forced his right hand to form a fist and thrown it to the person in front of him, but he was easily seen through and he then just back in retreat.

“Still have enough spirit, ei… Alright, I’ll play with ‘ya..”

Vayne took out his knife then charged towards him and began his assualts.

The person show his skill in fighting as he effortlessly dodged Vayne’s attack and kicked his sides and rear as a provocation as he play him around.

Vayne had already lost his reasoning as he madly continue his assault when he suddenly successfully landed an attack as it graze the side of his face.

The wound weren’t serious but a minor injury, yet a hit is still a hit. Vayne then retreated away further from him as he catches his breath while slowly calmind down.

“Such a lucky hit, but it’s so sad that it only grazed me… Just a graze and it made you cocky? Well we can’t have that, can’t we?” «?»

“Ha… Still a hit… is still… a hit…” «Vayne»

“Hmm… Let’s take the smug out from your face.” «?»

As he said those, he slowly pulled out his handgun and fired at his two waist. Pain rushed to his head as he fell to the ground once more as he scream in agony.

The person in front of him is now closed to him and once more gave him a beating.

The girls scream as they beg him to stop but they were ignored as he continued his harassment with a smile on his face. He then gave him a strong kick that distance him a bit further away from him.

“Whoa!! That was refreshing, reall-”

Vayne threw the knife at him when he left his guard down, but he had some sort of walled that blocked it. Then he pointed his gun at him once more, and this time he aim on his head.

* + * + * + *

“Please stop… Stop..”

Suddenly the spell that binds her had lost its effect. Without thinking of anything, she ran in front of him and—

*BANG*
