"We've lost enough time here lets get going." said Nathan said swinging his claymore cleaning the last of the Yoma blood off the blade. The others nodded and stood from their positions on rocks or next to trees.
I wonder where all those Yoma came from, there must be a hive some were that's now empty." Sydney muttered. "The part that scares me the most is Ray's fighting style, or should I say styles. In mid fight his whole fighting style does complete flip." Dillon grumbled.
We were in control until it… it…" Ray started his voice slipping from his normal cool voice to the icy menacing one of the other Ray. "It touched us, it dared to lay its disgusting hand on me, it and the others like it nee…" "We apologize, he slipped our control." said Ray his voice back to normal.
Come on, less talking, we are behind remember?" said Nathan who was waiting for the rest of the group at the edge of the clearing in the forest they had traveled into after the canyon. They all resumed walking as Nathan lead the way into the forest.
After a few hours of walking Dillon began to complain as he did no mater how often he was ordered to shut-up. "So were the hell are we, all I've been able to see for a while now is trees, Nathan are you sure we're…" "Yes I'm sure we are going the right way and this is a forest… the trees are supposed to be here. Now shut up or I'll gag you personally." Nathan said cutting off Dillon's reply and forestalling any new ones. Dillon grumbled quietly to himself but didn't make any comments above a whisper until Nathan called a rest as he did ever sunset and sunrise when they were marching.
"Nathan may I speak with you?" "Not like I've got anything better to do at the moment Sydney, what about?" "That Ray, have you herd any thing about him, I had herd about both yourself and Dillon before this assignment but nothing about Ray."
"Well he seems to have been sort of kept a secret for obvious reasons but I had herd rumors that a half human, half Yoma had been removed from active rolls because of mental instability. With that sort of description and with Ray here as he is… well my opinion is that he was the one removed. that's all I know about Ray. Hope that helps sorry I couldn't offer any more." answered Nathan as he leaned against a tree.
"Thanks, and no problem." Sydney replied and walked off some were out of sight. Nathan stared out at what little sun could be seen setting though the trees. None of it made any sense to him, Four warriors made as experiments for an organization to practice their technique on before making a finished breed of warrior, sent on a mission that would end the conflict that the new warriors of generation one were being trained to fight as the last of the experiments were marching to their assignment.
"Only four of us, and I don't think we are as good the top ones in the new generation. Surely this assignment warrants more than four warriors all things considered… Oh well we have been ordered to complete this task questioning orders is a lack of discipline and if we don't have discipline than we are at as big a disadvantage as the humans we protect." Nathan mused to himself.
He saw that the others were all back, resting against trees or rocks having eaten their fill and finished up any other maters that needed to be attended to while they were stopped. "Come on time to go." he called to the others and they resumed their mission.
