Chapter 2: Organization TRAHB
When everyone got to the gate they notice that the path to the cliff was visible it was as if a dirt road had appeared just for them to cross. Rather than rushing across like they usually would they took their time making sure to save their energy for what was ever waiting for them. Once the reached the cliff there was four people standing there in a black robe and black jeans underneath. Their faces were hidden because of a black hood that all of them whore on top of their heads.
"What the hell are you doing" Avril shouted at them.
"We are here for our reasons and our reasons alone" said the one furthest to the right.
"I won't let you destroy my home" shouted BW at them as he began to charge the one on the far right.
Yet before he could even reach the man in black on the far right the one on the left forced him back sliding on the ground back with everyone else by just raising his hand to him.
"What the hell was that?" Gaur asked curious to what forced BW back.
"I don't know but I'm not going to let it stop me" said BW getting up bruised.
"Listen if we all attack together then you won't be out numbered and we might stand a chance" said Avril analyzing on what had just happened.
"I'm with you if we keep each one distracted they won't be able to help each other" said Alexis agreeing.
"I like the sound of it" said Gaur with a grin of excitement on his face.
"Fine but I get the one on the left" said BW clinching his fist.
"Fine its settled everyone take one on my mark" said Avril getting in fighting stance.
"One"
"Two"
"Are they serious do they really think that something like that would work" said the women on the inner left.
"It doesn't matter Sixal hopefully it will be more fun than that lame kingdom" said the on one next to her on the inner right.
"THREE , NOW"
With that they all charged at them with Avril taking one on the right, Gaur taking the one on the inner right, BW taking the one on the left, and Alexis at the girl on the inner left.Everyone did their best to try and take out these for. Avril trying punch after punch with the figure he was fighting stopping each one with his palm. Gaur was using punch after kick after likoze trying to make contact with the figure only to be hit and avoided and hit again. BW trying to use his speed to confuse his opponent would strike and vanish then strike and vanish again which failed against his opponent that would stand still and block every strike. Alexis would enlarge her size to human form and try punch after kick with the black hooded girl called Sixal knocking them away. Then Gaur was knocked back with a dark powered gut punch by his opponent followed by one of BW's kicks being caught and being slammed against the ground like a rag doll then swung and tossed next to Gaur's unconscious body. Which Avril shouted for just before being kneed in the gut and then elbowed in the back down to the ground and kicked over to the other two. Alexis was smacked back by Sixal and then soccer kicked to the ground with her body flipping and bouncing on the ground just in front of her friends just barely conscious. Then three of the dark figures started to walk to them which in reaction to protect them Alexis transformed into a Black Panther and growled at them. Sixal just raised a fisted and punched her down saying "Shut up" which caused Alexis to revert back to her human sized form unconscious.
Then Sixal and two other dark figures grabbed Gaur and BW by their collars and raised a fist preparing to finish them off. Then each one of their fist began to glow a different color the one holding BW was lime green, the one holding Gaur was blacker than his clothes, and the one holding Alexis was yellow.
Just as they were about to strike the one still standing behind them yell "BLAKE, DRUAG, SIXAL ENOUGH" that made all of them freeze and the glow around their fist disperse.
"you all know full well why we are here and what will happen if you do that" that made the rest let go of their opponents and walk back towards him"lets do what we came here to do and leave"
They all nodded and with that they went back to their opponent and left something wrapped up in cloth "hard to believe we were so weak back then huh Sixal" said Druag.
"Yeah I know what you mean we were such wimps but now we have true power" Sixal replied rising after placing an item in front of Alexis.
"Well either way we have to finish what we came here for" said the one who fought Avril and is now standing at the path to BW's village.
BW awoke bruised and battered he smelled smoke and then a thought shot through his mind "the village" he said as he quickly turned around to see flames coming from the white clouds that hid his home.
At the edge of the cliff was everyone else Alexis kneeling crying her eyes out and Gaur trying to get her to stop with Avril just staring at the flames. BW rushed to them and tripped over an object wrapped in a cloth he had never seen before ignoring it he got up and walked to them trying to make sure not to fall again. When he met up with them he asked if the guys in those dark clothes did this but none of them could respond to it. They were all knocked out when it happened and when they awoke they just saw embers coming from the village. BW realized this when the refused to answer him although he was one of the best fighters in his village he felt helpless as if no matter what he did different it would have still led to the village being burned. Avril started to walk over to the item that was left in front of him when he awoke.
He picked it up and unwrapped the cloth it was like a staff but with two blades on the sides of it. As he clinched it into his hand it changed and shrunk into a small silver orb as if a marble. BW went back to where he tripped and picked up the item also unwrapping the cloth. To his surprise it was a pair of brass knuckles when he grabbed one getting ready to throw it of the cliff it shifted into a green tattoo on his palm. Then the other just flew over to his other hand and did the same. Alexis with tears still coming from her eyes went to the object that was left for her once she unwrapped the cloth she found a necklace with six pendants attached to it. As she picked it up the pendants dispersed from the necklace and imprinted themselves around her neck while the chain flew back and tied up her long brown hair into a long ponytail. When she tried to take off the pendants on her neck they morphed into tattoos as if refusing to leave her flesh. Gaur was still looking at the clouds when he turned his head to look at everyone else the last object that was left for him sprung up and flew at him.
He did a back flip to avoid it but the object just stopped when he landed and flew back at him as if magnetized to his body. Gaur would jump and duck and dash to the side trying to avoid the object but it was no use it wasn't giving up and it was getting closer to him by the second.
"That's it take this" Gaur shouted with a dark aura appearing around his fist as he charged at the object with his fist.
As he hit it the object dispersed out of the cloth into millions of little pieces that floated in the air "that what you get" said Gaur proud of himself for destroying it while the dark aura around his fist began to fade.
As soon as the aura around his fist was gone the pieces in the air began to reassemble on Gaurs back into a sword and a sheath that was is tied around Gaurs back.
"What the hell" said Gaur as he trying to turn and take of the sheath.
"Avril what is all of this and what does it all mean" asked Alexis ignoring Gaurs shouting at the sword on his back.
"I don't know but I think this is a gift from those people" he replied.
"But why the hell would they give these to us why didn't they just kill us rather than letting us live and destroying the village?" shouted BW in anger.
"I think they want us to become stronger" said Avril still trying to figure it out himself.
"get stronger for what?" asked Alexis trying to understand.
"I don't know that's what scares me" said Avril now looking at the silver orb in his hand.
"We have to go" Avril said looking up at the path leading back to his home.
"What about my village" BW shouted "we have to see if there are any survivors."
"There are no survivors" BW replied.
"How, how is it you know we have to check" BW said upset.
"you know as well as I do there are no survivors" said Avril grabbing BW by the collar.
BW just looked away unable to look at Avril in the face because he knew he was right there were no survivors. Avril let BW go and began to storm of down the path Alexis looked at BW for a second and then dashed after Avril yelling "Hey wait up."
BW just kicked the dirt "Dam it" he said as he rushed after the two.
"HEY GUY WAIT UP DON'T LEAVE ME BEHIND" shouted Gaur having no idea on what happened running trying to catch up to them.
It didn't take long before they all made it back to Avril's home where they met up with Bozhino and Hinia where they explained the whole ordeal in hopes that they might know who the figures were. Bozhino looked at Hinia who looked at him and nodded confirming that they should know. Bozhino looked back at the teens and began to explain that there was a fairly large party that whore almost nothing but dark clothes that hid their faces. They were skilled fighters and each one had their own unique abilities even though they all had mastered use the elements of the earth. Although all of them had mastered the elements some of them would only use one particular element and shared the charges of that element with others who preferred it. Liken, Wuken, Fuken, Euken, Wusen, Shoken, Briken, Meten, Souken. Each on has mastered nine out of the ten elements all except their leader who has mastered the tenth element Oriken. All of them are very cruel but their leader is the cruelest of them all he alone has took countless clans, villages, and kingdoms. He is a true monster that has no regard for anyone except two individuals. They are his only blood relatives that are still alive; those two do not even realize that such a heartless monster is even related to them. That's why they are under careful watch at a hidden village that is protected by the earth itself. Rumor has it that the whole group have a hideout in Alagar of coarse none of them have been proven true but neither have they been proven false either.
"Avril if you want to find any answers to why they attacked you I think that the best place to start is Alagar" said Bozhino catching his breath.
"What if they come here next though" asked BW still trying to comprehend it all.
"Don't worry they won't" Hinia replied confidently.
"Why is that sensei" said Gaur still baffled by the story.
"You see they have already been here all of them years ago" Hinia answered.
"You see we found out that Avril's parents fought them long ago and made a pact with them to never return to this village" said Avril interrupting Hinia.
Avril just looked down in disappointment that he can't remember anything.
"Don't worry Avril you might find out what happened to you in Alagar, word is that you went there before to visit someone by the name Tetsu" said Bozhino trying to cheer him up.
That did help him cheer up a little bit until BW responded "yeah but it doesn't help me at all" which made Avril feel guilty that he couldn't stop what had happened.
"Well besides that you all need to go back to the tower Nerg has been asking around for you all" said Hinia trying to change the subject.
"Alexis if I remember right this is your first time here right, you might need to go and visit Nerg also he will show you around and might give you something nice as well" said Bozhino looking at Alexis gleefully.
Alexis looked at him as if he was leech trying to hit on her.
She takes a step back and puts her hand on her chest replying "Excuse me."
Bozhino realizing what she meant and tries to cover up for what he said "Oh no I didn't mean that my dear."
"Oh Bozhino you" Hinia interrupted giving him a nuggie.
"Don't worry about my friend he isn't that type, he meant that you should go see Nerg because he is a very kind person" Alexis just looked at the two in confusion questioning their motives.
"Well why don't we get going to the tower" blurted Gaur trying to break the awkward silence.
After they left they began straight for the tower trying not to waist any time which didn't make any difference seeing that Alexis was so fascinated with the village it took them a while sense the boys would stop and wait for her to catch up with them every five to ten minutes because she would wonder off the path in a couple of seconds.
Once they finally reached the tower the went directly to Nerg even though Alexis was dragged along screaming "Let me go I want to look around."
Nerg on the other hand was glad about Alexis's curiosity. The way she would run to a machine and be fascinated by it and then ran to another wandering how it works and what it did.
"So Alexis do you like it here in the tower?" asked Nerg with a grin on his face.
"Yes I love it its al so amazing" she replied gleefully.
"well then if you would come in here I would like to show you something I think you are really going to like" Alexis surprised didn't know whether or not she should be worried or excited.
Very coutiously she followed Nerg into the next room leaving the boys sitting around with the other scientist trying to get information on the organization. Once she was inside there was a large crash and then Alexis screamed out of reaction causing the boys to come rushing in. Apparantly on of the members of the organization had broken into the lab and grabbed Nerg.
"Let him go" shouted Avril in which the hooded teen just shook her head no.
"Who the hell are you" said BW angrily trying not to lunge at the figure with rage.
"I am Black Heart one of the members of organization TRAHB and as for your friend here has been requested by my superiors" said the young teen.
"There are actually people this young in the organization?" asked Alexis amazed by Black Heart's strength to hold a man about twice her size over her shoulder.
"Its hard to believe it but it looks like TRAHB even has children as members" replied Gaur with a smirk on his face.
Black Heart replied with anger in her voice "I'll show you who is the child" as she raised her hand to him and blasted him into the next room with a fireball that exploded once he hit the back wall in the other room. "Hehe weakling" she said as she turned and with flames forming at her feet getting ready to leave.
"Don't run coward stay and fight" said BW clenching his fist.
"Don't worry we will meet again" said Black Heart without turning around as she jumped through the whole in the wall using the flames at the bottom of her feet to propel her self into the air and fly away.
After she was long and gone everyone turned to go and check up on Gaur to make sure he was still alive underneath a pile of rubble was Gaur's arm just sticking out. The scientists was gathered around him trying to clear the rubble. Once the rocks were cleared from on top of Gaur the scientists cleared a path for everyone else to look at his motionless body. Alexis grasping her mouth trying to prevent herself from shrieking at the sight and the thought that Gaur might actually be dead. Avril walked over to his body with a furious look on his face and knealt down in front of Gaur looking at him.
"Hey you ok?" asked Avril to Gaur looking directly at Gaur's face causing him to open his eyes.
"Yeah, I'm alright but there was something weird in that fireball she shot me with" replied Gaur while he sat up putting his back to the wall.
Everyone gasped in shock that Gaur could survive such a blast and still rise as if it was a slap on the face.
"Good now we can go to Alagar deal with those guys once and for all" said BW clenching his fist in anger.
"Yeah I agree the sooner the better" said Gaur rising with a few pieces of rock falling of his clothes.
"Then lets go and finish this thing once and for all" said avril turning and looking at the gaping whole that was left in the wall in the other room.
