"Good, good." Yuri said. He turned to walk east but he quickly turned around to talk to him again. "But hold on, who put you up to the contract on Diana? Your fellow mandalorians?"
-
Edited by Cannon011: 6/9/2017 3:48:17 AM"The Dojo." He replied, continuing to walk.
-
Yuri's eyes went wide for a moment, but all he did was give off a chuckle. Meanwhile, Bella looked like she was holding her breath in excitement. "Ha! Well, isn't that something. You wouldn't happen to know a man named Royal, would you?" Yuri asked Can as he walked with him.
-
"Not very well, but I have met him a few times." Replied the commando.
-
"Mmm. Well, found him in the woods last week. Actually, I helped him rescue Lilly Coldbourne. Diana had her taken prisoner in a shack in the middle of the woods. That was the red flag that made me wanna help you, if I'm being honest." He told Can.
-
Cannon nodded. "I had no idea he was here, honestly."
-
"Well then I suppose you haven't contacted the dojo at all since your arrival here then." Yuri stated as they continued to walk. Bella held Cannons wrist as they walked, fascinated by the conversation.
-
"Well, I didn't bring any communications. I didn't know if you people would search me or not."
-
"I suppose that we didn't in the end..." Yuri said with a hint of disappointment and annoyance. "WAIT." Bella started. "So Canny, since you are with the dojo, doesn't that make you like...a superhero?!"
-
"No. I'm definitely not a super hero." He laughed.
-
"Well, you are to me!" Bella declared. Yuri gave off a chuckle as well as the three continued their way through the woods. They eventually made it out to the Kakusa grove, where Can had cross over before to make his way into the Tokage ranks. But now, he would have to cross east, to the side of the grenwalds. The three approached the middle of the grove, and Yuri stopped there. "This will be as far as I have ever gone past where I was born." He said as he looked at the grass, as if a line had formed in front of him. "Once we cross, I feel as if we have many decisions ahead of us. You especially, Cannon." He told Cannon.
-
"What else is new? Let's go stop a war." Cannon replied reassuringly, smiling slightly.
-
"Were it so easy, Cannon." Yuri said as he walked over to him. "I do not think we can stop this war. This is the first and final battle, in a sense. Our clans only exist because one must destroy the other. Why that is, I do not know. That is how I was raised. But even though Bella is safe, I do not think that will be enough to sway her father. He will continue his assault on the grenwalds, and it is likely that the grenwalds will not stop until we are destroyed as well." "Why?!" Bella asked. "I know the grenwalds are mean, but if Canny has taught me anything, it's that no one has to die! So why can't we come to an understanding?!" Yuri knelt down and looked Bella in the eyes. "Bella, I agree with you. Truly I do. But many won't. Old woulds have taken a long time to heal...trying to bring peace may be futile."
-
"We still have to try." Cannon decided, then blinked in surprise. Had he really just said that? [i]These people must be getting to me... I'm losing my edge.[/i]
-
"Ya! We can do it!" Bella agreed. Yuri looked at the two, stood up, and gave off a hint of a smile. "Then let it be so. Let's move, every second we waist is another second the sides kill each other." The group made their way across to the east, and entered the grove. As they walked for a few hours, they began to see crimson stains like the green woods of the sanctuary they walked through. Then, as they walked more, they saw bodies. Green and purple cloaks lined the ground. There were not many right now, but the battle had clearly begun.
-
"Osik... Looks like they started the party without us." Cannon muttered, reverting to his own language for swear words.
-
"Yes. Which means we are on the right path. We need to move, quickly!" Yuri stated with panic as he began to run through the woods. Bella gripped onto Can's arm but he knew that she would not be able to run as fast as he could....
-
He scooped up a sword from a body before turning to Bella. "If you want to keep up, hop on my back." He knelt down for her.
-
[spoiler]The sword he had picked up was a long single edged blade like a cutlass. It belonged to a Grenwald, likely. [/spoiler] "Okay!" She said as she hopped on his back. Luckily, the girl was very light.
-
He took off at a run, easily catching up to Yuri despite his missing and and Bella throwing off his balance slightly.
-
As he caught up to Yuri, he saw more and more bodies popping up around them. Arrows were stuck into trees and more red stained the ground. Eventually, they ended up in a small clearing. Ahead of them were two massive rock faces that w the parted down the middle. The top of which had trees and the like on top. Many, many purple cloaked figures lay at the entrance to the small passage between the rock face. As he looked up he saw green cloaked figures lying atop the rock faces. They had established a devastating chokepoint, it seemed. "Oh no..." Bella said quietly as she buried her face into Cannons shoulder. Yuri stopped and looked around at the massacre, his eyes wide. "Oh my god." He let out as he looked at the scene.
-
Cannon steeled himself against the sight, gently lowering Bella. "You two stay here. There may still be some alive, I'll scout."
-
"O-okay." Bella said. Yuri looked around the area, and as soon as Can let the girl down they heard people yelling down the passage. They heard clashing of steel, and yells of pain. "Cannon, there is no time to scout! The Tokage would have wiped everyone here out before they made their advance! We must go through the passage now!"
-
"Alright." Cannon began to move into the pass, sword ready.
-
As they crossed through the pass, Cannon in the lead with Yuri and Bella behind him, Can had to step over more bodies just to get through the narrow passage. There were green bodies, as well as purple and red. It was truly a war zone and if smelt of decay and iron. Cannon could feel Bella gripping the back of his cloak as she walked right behind him.
