"Something tells me this is where they plan on ambushing us.....My barrier isn't gonna work here guys."
English
-
Anne ran towards Alex, who still lay on the ground. She knelt down beside him and looked at his wounds. "Alex?! Alex!" She yelled at him, worried. He seemed in and out of consciousness, but his eyes opened to look at the woman who was above him. "Oh...hey you." He greeted weakly. "I...think that may have been a little over kill. Personally." Even while weak, alex cracked a joke and a smile. He barely brought himself up before Anne wrapped her arms around his neck, even though he was covered in blood from his wound. He relaxed, but clearly he was in need of some medical attention.
-
Sera notched a slim green arrow and shot it at Alex, who glowed green and white briefly. He then felt a relaxing wave come over him, and his wounds slowly started to heal. "Healing stim, that should help."
-
He cursed as the arrow hit him with surprise, but he then felt the effect of the arrow and almost went limp in Anne's arms. "Man...they should really mass produce those arrows or something." Alex said weakly again. But his cuts began to heal up. Anne laughed lightly as she looked at him. But, sera couldn't shake the feeling that all of the kids were still there. All of the kids had gotten off the roof, and now they all began to crowd around three of them. There seemed to be fifty of them in total. Alex looked around, and leaned up as soon as he could. Anne helped him up, but he had to use her as support. "Uhhh...yes?" He asked the kids. The children did not respond. They just continued to look at the group. "Why...why are you all just...staring?" He asked them. In unison, they all turned opposite ways so they wouldn't be facing Alex. "UMMMMMMMMMMM." He let out awkwardly.
-
She kneeled down in front of the kids, and raised her eyebrow. "Do any of you know how to talk?"
-
None of them responded to Sera. "Yo! The lady asked you kids a question!" Alex stated. Then, they all spoke in unison. "Yes we know how to talk." They all said. "Okay...this is a little weird..." Anne admitted.
-
"I'm not really sure what's going on....Maybe there mind is linked or something?"
-
"No. Pretty sure I know what's going on here." Alex said. "Hey! You!" He asked one of the kids. "Yes, master?" The child answered. It sounded like a young girl from under her hood "Master...? Why are you calling me that?" "Well, you rescued us! So we serve you now!"
-
"Shit....Its worse then I thought. We need to get these kids help Alex, unbrainwash them."
-
"Ya...no kidding. There's only one way to help these kids now... We gotta bring em back to castle Coldbourne." "How are you gunna help them, Alex?" Anne asked him. "Well for one they won't be child soldiers anymore. Let's do that now." He said as he cleared his throat. "Hey! Drop your weapons! You ain't soldiers anymore!" He stated. Soon after, the clinging of bows hitting the ground filled the streets. They all dropped their weapons at once. "Second of all! I order you to only follow my orders, if you want to! You're kids! Live a little!" Alex demanded. The children stood around, and some seemed to be discussing things now. One of the kids up front spoke up. "Wait. Isn't that a paradox?" The boy said as he took off his hood to reveal a face of maybe fourteen years. He had red Curly hair and freckles. "What do you mean is that the paradox?" Alex asked him, "Well, if you order us not to follow your orders, aren't we following your order to not follow your orders? And if we don't follow your order now, wouldn't we continue following your orders?" Alex looked at the kid, dumbfounded, "Well...he's got you there." Anne said jokingly.
-
Sera chuckled at the paradox, she enjoyed seeing Alex become flustered. "Guess you'd better rethink you're statement."
-
"Ugh. Okay. KIDS! MUNCHKINS! YOU DO NOT HAVE TO FOLLOW ALL OF MY ORDERS, BUT YOU CAN, IF YOU WANT TOO. YOUR LIVES ARE YOUR OWN!" He yelled. The kids began to talk again about the command, which seemed as if it would work. The red headed child ahead of the group thought about the command for a moment before shrugging in acceptance. "Well." He started. "We...don't know where to go. Can't we just follow you? If we want to?" "Uhhhhh..." Alex thought. Anne nudged him and smiled at the child. "Ow! What? Yes?! Ya! Sure what the hell. We can go back to the Ko-Rudo mountains and watch Star Wars or something." The children cheered at the idea. With that, the three walked out of the town, with the massive group following behind them. They arrived at the infinite corp camp, where Alex ordered for the cargo plane to pick them up. With that, the three and all of the former child soldiers got on the plane, and went home. Meanwhile on the plane, Anne was asleep, and so were many of the children. Of course, Alex and Sera were still awake. "So! That was something don't you think?" He asked her.
-
"It was definitely different. Who knew one of the leaders of the clan would be there. You struck a major blow with her death, but something tells me there will be retaliation."
-
"Ya. I've been thinking the same thing. We Killed one head, but there's still another.... The master. But we don't have a lead on him. It's likely by killing the mistress we freed these kids, but there's probably another half of em that follow the master. Maybe even more."
-
"Not to mention there's a whole 'nother part of them that my father was apart of....I'm guessing he didn't tell you about them?"
-
"All I know is that your dad was a member as a child and managed to escape." He clarified to her. "The events leading up to that escape are his to tell you and him alone."
-
"Well I overheard him talking with mom about when he left, said how he was having nightmares about his brother and how he was being controlled...."
-
"His brother eh? He never told me he had a bro." Alex stated as he put his hands behind his head and leaned back.
-
"He doesn't really like to talk about it, since it hurts his heart. He also had an older sister, who was a top tier assassin."
-
"Huh. Looks like he was keeping secrets as well? Family related nonetheless? Never knew about that." Alex stated with intrigue. "Well. If I can put any pieces together, it's that his siblings are still apart of the clan. Which means it's extra important you don't tell him where you've been for the last couple of days."
-
"Gotcha, don't want him freaking out and chewing him out huh?"
-
"Exactly." Alex said to her. "Now. I don't know about you, but I'm in need of some shut eye. Gunna need it if I'm gunna get these kids settled in at the Ko-Rudo mountains. Oh, and there's also the party."
-
"Party? What party? When did you have time to organize one?"
-
"Oh I haven't been! I have like, three days to organize it. But ya, a party. Gunna be a ton of guests at the castle. Gunna get fruit punch and shit. It's sort of a ploy to establish alliances with some Tatakai based companies as well, but I'm also having everyone over that's helped with the Infinite corporation so far, and then some. ...so ya, you're invited little miss."
-
"Sounds like fun, make sure to wake me once we are home okay?"
-
"You got it speedy." Alex affirmed to her, as she drifted onto a sleep until she would awake in the cold. [spoiler]end![/spoiler]
