Tides of war- Ch.1, States of confusion

As the gaurd slowly lead them through the ally way, it appeared to be oddly silent. The gaurd was silent as well.

 

Diana became more and more uneasy as they walked.

 

Sero woke up slowly and gazed around his surroundings. He knew from the green liquid gel that he was in a preservation tank. ~Hmph. So the authorities finally caught up with me. Those punks are probably gonna use me as a test subject for the death sentence. Oh well, I've gone through it before. But they'll make sure I'm chained up this time, so no hope this time.~ Sero had been used as a test subject for new death sentences before, and he managed to escape at one point with a semi-auto rifle that he used to add 57 more charges of murder to his count. He counted his crimes:

107 charges of murder, 1st degree
120 charges of assault and battery
9 unpaid car fees
80 charges of speeding
97 charges of kidnapping
407 charges of breaking and entering

Sero sighed. He had really done it this time. Then he realized that the building looked to much like Chronix's house to be a jail cell. Sero sighed with relief. ~Well, at least I'm not in an acid chamber in a jail cell. That's a reprieve.~ Sero quietly went back to sleep.

 

The gaurds head slowly turned around, and then his eyes widend, and he yelled "LOOK OUT, BEHIND YOU!"

 

Diana spun around.

 

The gaurd grinned, as he lunged behind diana, used one hand to grab her wrist and twisted it around, and the other hand to hold a knife up to her neck. "That was easy" the gaurd said with a grin

 

Chronix's shoes and Jack's heavy iron toed boots made loud thumping and clapping sounds on the pave as they ran, Jack quickly pulling ahead of Chronix, even though Chronix was running faster than a car. "Why the hurry?" Chronix asked, panting slightly. "I told you, there's danger!" Jack said, without the slightest hint of enthusiasm in his voice. "Well, what's so bad about it then?"

Jack stopped and turned to face Chronix. Jack said only one word: "Bloodling."

 

Panthera wanted to spring and kill him, but he didn't want to risk Diana's life. He snarled and growled and bared his teeth. Diana stood there breathing hard. "Why are you doing this? Want do you want?" She asked.

 

"I want your families treasure" the gaurd said. "Name's Zane. You probably havn't heard of me, but, then again, not to many people know any specifics about bloodlings, now do they" zane said.

 

" Panthera was right.....well if its the treasure you want then your out of luck. We aren't all that rich. All of it was used to try and save my mother but it was just a waste. We've got nothing." She said.

 

"Don't lie. I know that your family has some sort of treasure that allows you to talk to animals." zane said.

 

Jack Rounded a corner so fast that he had to run along the side of the wall to keep from falling over sideways. Chronix was struggling to keep up. "For a knight," Chronix said, heaving with pain, "You sure run fast!" Jack looked ahead through squinted eyes and saw, in a dark alleyway, what he was fearing.

There was a bloodling. He was holding up a princess, by the looks of it. a strange panther thing was snarling and growling the entire time. Jack saw easily the fear in the princess's eyes and saw her trying to struggle, but the bloodling had her well pinned down. Jack pulled out his spear, ran as fast as he could, and let out a battle cry that startled Chronix. Chronix pulled out his sword and let it scrape the ground to sharpen the blade. Chronix didn't yell, but he did activate his super speed and flew forward. Jack jumped onto a stack of boxes, then onto a rooftop, then off into the alleyway to fight. Chronix just ran with his blade pointing at the target next to his right ear. At the moment, he didn't have time to see what was going on with Jack or how much pain he was in, all he was thinking about was one thing: ~Get ready to die, fiend.~

 

Panthera turned around and growled at the two men. He didn't want anyone to put Daina's life in more danger, and he wanted to kill the man, as soon as the time was right.

" I'm sorry but that's not something I'm able to give you." Diana said as she slowly tried to move her hand to the dagger by her waist.

 

"STOP RIGHT THERE!" zane yelled, as he pressed the knife up against the princess's throat. It wasn't enough to make her bleed, but if he had to let go of the princess and escape, it could end up with her throat being slashed.

 

Diana stopped her hand, thinking he was talking to her. She was so caught up in the moment that she didn't even notice the two men trying to help her.

 

Jack heard this and glared. He might be putting a life at stake, sure, but he wasn't about to let something bad happen to royalty. Not even if the panther thing, who was busy glaring back at him, said otherwise. Chronix had a flash of worry as he looked up at Jack, who now sped towards the ground as fast as he could. Chronix suddenly had a thought: ~Is Jack a Dragoon Knight?~ There had been stories of the last knights dying out, but maybe...

Jack screamed at the bloodling as loud as he could "Make me stop, why don't ya!" Jack knew for a fact that challenging a bloodling was bad, but Jack's bad mouthed, bull headed temper wasn't about to let him stop. Not that he could either way, he didn't know any flight spells.

Chronix decided to see what Jack could do, and stopped in his tracks, just inches away from the alley. Jack yelled at him over his shoulder, "Wuss!"

 

Zane grinned. He knew that if this new interloper was to attack him, then in doing so, he would end up making zane take the girls life, so he waited for jack's attack. He backed up towards a wall, so that way jack could not get behind him. He knew that he could survive an attack that a human might dish out, so he was prepared.

 

Panthera lunged at Jack.

Diana continued to move her hand slowly towards the dagger.

 

Chronix realized something was wrong, and jumped into the air and slammed Jack out of his attack and into the paved ground. Jack got up and ran into the alley. "JACK, STOP!" Chronix yelled, and suddenly he threw his arm forward and released a lightning strike from his sword that was bright purple.

It was headed for The bloodling.

 

ooc: if this hits, then will it cut him in half, or will it electrify him?
