Chapter 7
Guardian Angel
The scene opens up showing Noah and Zero fighting at full force. Noah jumps back sliding on his feet. "Dammit.. I'm almost out of energy.." Noah says to himself. "Getting tired? Ahahaha.. This'll be easy." Zero said confidently. "Shut up!" Noah yelled while charging at him, he throws a strong right hook but Zero catches it with ease. "You're getting slow... Hmhmhm.." Zero said with a smirk, he then pulls Noah in and knees his gut, then he throws him up into the air. "I'll finish this." Zero said while jumping at Noah. "Roar of the poison dragon!" Zero yelled as he shoots a poison blast like attack from his mouth hitting Noah point blank sending him into the mountain wall; leaving a small crater. "Hm." Zero thought as he walks towards Mariah. "You're just as useless as Jessica. You'll die the same death as her.." Zero said while picking Mariah up by her hair. "Time to die!" Zero yells as he tosses her off the edge of the mountain. Mariah wakes up and opens her eyes noticing that she has been thrown. "Huh? What?" Mariah asked. She then looks down noticing a huge nothing under her. "What?! No.. NOAH...!" She screams as Noah charges and catches her before falling down fully. Noah pulls her up and cartels her but he then falls to his knees. "I won't let him hurt another comrade again... You're safe.." Noah said as he lets Mariah and, Noah then falls to all fours just sitting in silence trying to gather a plan. "I'm out of magic.. I can't win.." Noah says quietly. Mariah then grabs Noah and hugs him. "I'm here, you aren't alone, we will face this together." Mariah says softly. Noah's eyes widen to her hug and then looks up at Zero. "You're right.." Noah said while slowly standing up. "Mariah.. I want you to go hide.. I wouldn't live with myself if he hurt you again.." Noah says. Mariah shakes her head. "I'm not leaving you.. We're a team.. I won't leave you." Mariah says with confidence. Tai then steps out into the field. "I'm here too, we will do this together!" Tai yelled. Zero then smirks. "Actually, I think I will have to run, but ill be seeing you guys again.. Hehe.. And, Mariah... Make sure you don't catch me on my bad side." Zero says with a smirk, he then darts off at top speed. "Bastard.. He left." Tai said while walking towards Mariah and Noah. Noah then falls to the ground. "I can't move.." Said Noah. Tai then picks Noah up and puts him over his shoulder. "I gotcha, bro.. We're going back to the guild." Tai said. The scene then switches to all of them back at the guild, Noah is bandaged up and so is Mariah. "Noah.." Mariah said. "Hm? What is it, Mariah?" Noah asked. "You saved me... Even after everything you took.. You still saved me.. Thanks.." Mariah said with a hug. "You're like a guardian angel.." She said while hugging, the scene then goes black as Mariah is hugging Noah.
