“Guess this’ll be all of us for the list huh?”
“Wait, why aren’t we bringing anyone from the other end? Surely they’d want to tag along wouldn’t they?” Xenthos asks, looking around before everyone clears their throats.
“What? No… I figured but you can’t be serious.” Tamaki swayed his hair for a moment.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pCavq6YrE
“Boss, how new is he?”
“Less than a month, he’s been to himself and to our little league here, not a fan of politics.”
“I’m surprised you haven’t recruited him yet. Look Xenthos, you and Ibaraki are still fresh here. Exiles and Defenders don’t mix well in the slightest, there’s a reason we ask in doubles to avoid- Watch out!” Rapid footsteps approached causing Xenthos to quickly turn, for a split second he saw a cloaked figure rush at him and then dip out of few. Instinctively he evaded a flying fist from his right, stepping back he’d be assaulted with a flurry of attacks from the cloaked fighter. Xenthos would put his hands up, slapping them aside and grabbing the wrist of his assailant.
“What the hell do you think you’re doing?!” A shockwave was brought about as Kenji raised his blade above the attacker and brought it down.
“Bad Ken.” Takata bonked Kenji on the head with his book, immediately Kenji stopped his strike inches from the other person. Their arms were up ready to block Kenji, they definitely seemed confused that he stopped. Their hood moving up to try and get a good look at Kenji and the reason he stopped.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCvHxF9rm7
“You were about to cut down someone weaker than you, this person would’ve done nothing but die immediately. No point remember?” Kenji rolled his eyes and walked away, turning his back his opponent struck but their fist was caught.
“Yo dude, he ain’t fighting. Shove off!” Lee kicked the attacker back and looked at them, they immediately rushed Lee and the two began fighting. Back with Xenthos he evaded swing after swing. This person's hits were swift but he could tell they didn’t lack power, soon he went to dodge what he thought was a kick but ended up getting punched in the jaw. Grinning at their achievement the attacker went in for another strike, however Xenthos was no longer slouching down but instead he was now standing up. Grabbing their face he’d launch them back in a rage.
“What the hell is your problem?!” He shouted, throwing the person away, flipping and landing on their feet. The hood flew off and a girl’s face was revealed, her long silver hair flowing from the hoodie. She waved her hair standing up and throwing her cloak away, stretching and balling her fists back up.
“He’s as strong as everyone said Xarr, usually people get knocked out on my first hit. Look at him, not even a drop of blood and barely a scratch.” Smiling, she looked towards Xenthos.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQg98fYWhVx
“Nice to meet you Xen-” The woman’s face went cold, she felt blood trickling down her forehead. He was in front of her and his fist was firmly pressed against her forehead, pulling his fist away Xenthos walked past her flicking her blood onto the floorboards.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhqxvJbMEa
“Lee, let's go.”
“Eh?! Dude I just got to scrapping.” Lee had the opponent in a headlock, soon throwing him aside and following.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCs14j0hibF
“Whatever, dude could barely fight anyway.”
“Gah! Hey we’re-”
“I-It’s over Xarr.”
“Huh?”
“He killed me just now… Least it felt like it.” Rubbing the blood on her forehead she looked back at Xenthos watching him and everyone else leaving, her heart throbbing and pounding as she watched him leave.
“Are you sick?” Xarr pointed out due to the blush on her face, which prompted her to shout at him as Xenthos’s team left for their camping trip.
Out in the desert everyone had their own little missions of their own, finding various edible demons was an odd task but a task nonetheless. Lee was currently surfing through the stands on a small boat, laughing as his whip was tightly locked around a horn exiting the sands. Laughing Lee looked around, the various hills, mountains, and boats in the sand. The demons really did a number on the world, boats where they shouldn’t be, buildings buried deep.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8JiHkjxcX
“Even with all this ruin, the world somehow manages just to be so damn beautiful.” Soon his prey hopped out of the ground, a large crab like demon scuttled through the desert swimming as fluently as it would in the water. Soon it began to stop and flick its head viciously launching him in the sky. Flipping around constantly Lee slowed his role before just putting his arms out and extending them, falling down to earth. The sun's rays beaming against his skin, the world just felt so good. Being cooped up was never his way of life.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS15EDXAzll
“Oh right.” Then it was back to business, with a crack of his whip blade the crab was killed immediately, split from the head to end, landing in front of it he walked towards his boat retrieving a bag collecting the meat and heading towards the camp.
“Not this one. Or this one… Not that one either.” Takata and Kenji were out hunting, Takata was chasing after some various critters around in a location surrounded by rocky overhangs and various caves that look like they’ve been hollowed out and misplaced. Luckily this was an odd place but perfect for fruits, large peaches, berries, and melons. Exactly what he was looking for.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0Dn1xuJl1
“Just what I was looking for, all fruits and no- eugh vegetables.” A shadow loomed over Takata while he collected roaring at him, looking behind him Takata looked up at the massive bear. It had spikes and crystals breaking out of its skin, white pupiless eyes and sharp fangs and teeth. It was humongous, especially compared to him.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSkLkqOHE4
“Did you want some??”
THOOOM!!!
“I think you should stop chasing me! Ken won’t like it if you keep trying to hurt me.” Takata was running at high speeds, the bear chasing after him slamming its paws down trying to capture him, Takata kept running with his arms out like an airplane as he jumped off rocks and sprinted.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqw2FbBWqI8
“Keeeeeeen!” The bear’s paw went down and its entire body went flying in the air. Kenji stood in front of Takta with his foot raised, he kicked the bear into the air, launching it with a shockwave. Falling from above it smacked against the ground, growling it got up and began to rush Kenji. Takata jumped on his back holding his hair and Kenji rushed the bear, the battle ensued but ended fairly fast. A couple well placed stabs and cuts and the bear was killed, Kenji was unharmed. Sitting on top of the bear he looked towards Takata who was currently munching on some fruit.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wwNZ2SCG7
“Good Ken. Here.” He hands him a peach which Kenji took and began consuming beside him, the pair sitting and looking around.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iE5pKCyj2
“This is the spot? Near this cliff area? Why?”
“Because nom nom, there’s a cave over there. We can use that to just relax.”
“Hm… Good job Takata.”
“Thank you Ken."104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡml2CuOyGLx
