A/N: hello people, sorry for the delay I'm having some family affairs to get done but that isn't important, now let me explain something first, the magic, magick or magicka used here doesn't require any words or especial ritual (well 98% will not require it) if the characters want to throw a fire ball from their hands they'll do it without saying a weird word (Harry Potter) only some concentration, well that's all, ENJOY!
"that thing had discovered us" Kouji said trying to not alert the soldiers who were terrorized and confused
"we must stop that thing, we can take the soldiers later!" J.P. Suggested
"okay...at my mark we attack that monster with all we have" Zoe said, however the arachnid wasn't wasting time with it's preys, the soldiers fired their guns at it but the tarantula dodge them with ease, not that it needed to it's hard skin protected it well but it like to play with them a little, there were seven soldiers and the dead scientific the arachnid lunge at three soldiers impaling two of them with the legs and bitting the head of the third one, the poisonous saliva of the tarantula penetrated the helm of the soldier, his skin and flesh burned and the rest of the body writhed in pain as deafening screams echoed in the castle
"fuck no! I'm not going to fight that shit!" J.P. Complained
"we can't let it free either" Kouji said
"let me think for a moment" Zoe said
"be quick only two soldiers left"J.P. Said as the tarantula split two soldiers in half, then jumped to the dark ceiling where nobody can see it
"where is it!?" a soldier asked
"I don't know! We better get the hell out here!" the other soldier responded and both ran at the exit of the throne room, Zoe and her team prepare their guns to the incoming attack of the arachnid, they knew that the tarantula will not let go it's precious preys, the soldiers where almost out of the room when suddenly a spiderweb trapped them at mere inches of getting out, they struggle trying to free themselves form the sticky spiderweb, then a macabre voice echoed the castle again
"before I kill you I want to show you what will be the destiny of your souls!" the tarantula speak from the darkness, from the bodies of the dead soldiers a yellow like aura emanated forming a golden little ball on each of the bodies, floating, waiting.
"now go to my master and give him your power" the arachnid creature commanded, the spheric entities flied towards the crystallized body of Abaddon which welcomed them
"those were the souls of your friends, you will fed my master as your friends do!" the tarantula came out of the darkness and land behind the trapped soldiers, without hesitating the tarantula clenched it's fangs on the back of one soldier, his screams were horrific at first but subdued seconds later due to the fact that he hasn't any back or spine at all, the tarantula continued munching the body and turned it's attention to the remaining one
"P-PLEASE NO!" the solider begged, the arachnid prepared it's fangs to do the same as the last one but the soldier's bladder couldn't take it anymore
"disgusting human, you aren't edible anymore!" the Tarantula complained, the soldier looked a bit relieved but his face changed again when the tarantula impaled him with a leg
"now...where're the remaining rats? Come out" the tarantula said removing the spiderweb from the hole on the door of the throne room then it retired itself near the throne at fifty meters away from the entrance
"Zoe, what do we do now!?" J.P. Whispered to Zoe
"we must kill that thing, on my mark we split up and attack it with all you got, okay?" the blond said and his teammates nodded "good, now....1...2...3! NOW!" zoe said and the three of them ran at different locations none of them approaching directly to the tarantula, the tarantula jumped at Zoe and she was about to being impaled by the arachnid when she jumped behind a column evading the death by mere inches
"impressive! But you were only lucky!" the tarantula said ready to strike again, suddenly three grenades landed below it's abdomen "what!?" then the grenades exploded launching the tarantula far from Zoe, the tarantula landed on it's back growling ferociously
"I think it isn't happy!" the Kouji said to J.P.
"if someone blow my ass like that I think I wouldn't be happy either"J.P. Retorted
however the giant tarantula was far from injured only angry and confused, the tarantula was again on it's legs and turned it's eight eyes towards the overweighted agent
"oh shit!" J.P. Ran to the exit knowing that he had no chance against the monster alone, the spider climb though the walls to catch up the fat one, just before the tarantula land on J.P. A pair of giant white translucent fist strike down the Tarantula
"what is this? A sorceress!?" the Tarantula said, Zoe was that sorceress a pair of hands where floating over her, she moved a finger an a hand too moved one, those were magical representations of her hands
"thanks Zoe I owe you one!" J.P. Said in relief
"you owe me so much that I lost the count Junpei!" Zoe said, the tarantula lunged at her only to be hit again on the abdomen sending it to crash on a wall "now you'll suffer!" Zoe used her magical hands to hit multiple times the giant Tarantula, it tried to rose from the ground only to be pounded against it again and again, the tarantula screamed in pain every hit it get, suddenly the arachnid stopped moving and Zoe too stopped pounding it
"I think you kill it Zoe" Kouji said taking a look at the body
"no...it's still breathing but look it's coming back to his original form" as Zoe said, the tarantula began to transform back to the little boy in the green robe, Zoe fell to her knees seeing the bruised body of the boy, barely breathing, unaware of his surroundings
"are you okay Zoe?" J.P. Asked
"I...I almost killed this boy! I don't want that blood on my hands!" Zoe said, tears falling from he eyes
"what are you saying!? That kid almost kill us too and I don't see any remorse form his part!" J.P retorted
"that's not the point Junpei! We're taking him to H.Q.!" Zoe said
"WHAT!? are you mad, Orimoto!? Kouji asked
"my decision is final!" Zoe barked
"in that case you may want to put on him one of these" Kouichi said entering to the castle, holding a strange collar
"what is that?" Zoe asked
"this is a suppressor collar, put these on any magic user and it will become as useless as any human, no offense to the present" Kouichi said and smirk looking at J.P. Who wasn't happy for his comment, J.P. Was the only person in the team who couldn't do magic, Zoe put the collar on the boy and they proceeded to the exit
"something is bugging me brother...where did you find a place to land?" Kouji asked to his short haired twin
"I made some space...with the rockets" Kouichi answered
when they got out of the castle a small crater was in the front door, inside it was the very helicopter which they got to there, all the others vehicles where destroyed
"m....mas...ter..." the boy muttered while J.P. Was carrying him, they boarded the helicopter and flied to the extraction point, they boarded the plane to return to their H.Q. The twins stayed behind, they needed to return to the empire before someone notice their absence in the military base they're spying
back at their H.Q. Zoe and J.P. Were welcomed by no other than Zoe's mother, she didn't see very happy, Zoe tried to not look her at her eyes, she knew she disobeyed orders, J.P. Was confused as he didn't know why his boss was so angry, a group of people take the kid from J.P. A moment later and take him away
"hey! Where are you taking him?" Zoe asked to her mother
"to interrogation! You two come with me NOW!" Mrs. Orimoto ordered
in 's office Zoe and J.P. Were waiting for some sort of punishment, walked from side to side rubbing her eyelids
"Zoe..." Mrs. Orimot said with a sigh
"yes mother?" Zoe asked nerviously
"why you disobeyed MY orders?" her mother asked not even looking at her
"w-well we..."Zoe was interrupted by J.P.
"we accomplished the mission didn't we? Why so-" before J.P. Could finish his sentence he was slapped in the mouth by
"when I ask you something Jumpei Shibayama you'll answer! I asked to Zoe and she'll answer my question not you! Understand!?" Mrs. Orimoto stepped back a little, J.P. Only nodded while touching his mouth "good, now Zoe you were saying?"
"well as Junpei said, we accomplish the mission Abaddon didn't awake isn't?" Zoe said
"yes, you accomplished your mission, but the empire should never opened the throne room but your curiosity went too far this time"
"we didn't do anything wrong, they didn't wake the so powerful demon mission accomplished!" Zoe retorted with anger in her voice
"don't speak to me in that tone young lady! What about the shapechanging boy!? He was too part of the mission too!?" Mrs. Orimoto was angry
"I couldn't kill it mother! It's just a boy, would you kill him!?" Zoe asked but her mother didn't answer, she remained in silent for a while but with a serious expression on her face "just what I thought...you're always cold...fucking bitch I'm going!" Zoe rose form her seat and get out of the office slamming the door
"Zoe wait" Mrs. Orimoto said but it was too late Zoe was very far now, she sat on her chair and light up a cigarette
"um...boss my I ask something?"J.P. Asked
"you've already do one but okay what is it?" Mrs. Orimoto said
"what are you going to do with the boy we found?" J.P.
"interrogating him, he knows something that we don't and I'm going to found what is"
five days passed after they arrive at the H.Q. Zoe was being held in her room until further notice due to her disagreement with her mother, J.P. Was required to do heavy duties as a punishment for not stopping Zoe, Mrs. Orimoto continued interrogating the the with skinned boy with the light brunette hair, although he haven't given any useful information, in the main office an employee and Mrs. Orimoto where discussingwhat to do with the kid
"it's useless boss, that boy doesn't say other things than insults and bad jokes" the employee said
"did you find something about the tatoo on his back?" Mrs. Orimoto asked
"yeah, apparently it's an old spell back at the wizard's era, supposedly the bearer becomes ageless, forever young or at least he remain at his current age" the employee said
"I see...Shibayama said he was already inside the castle and that a doctor said that the boy was the one who tell him about the castle" Mrs. Orimoto
"already inside!? And was outside before!? Unbelievable unless..."
"he is the wizard boy who befriended with Abaddon!" both said in unison, suddenly the alarm sounded in all the base
"my Lady! The prisoner is acting weird!" another employee said
"put him on the screen!" Mrs. Orimoto said, a T.V. Came out of the ceiling it turned on with the image of the boy in his cell, it was kicking the walls and juming on his bed with joy
"what the fuck is he doing!?" Mrs. Orimoto
"I don't know, he began to do that before the alarms is were triggered, he said my master will crush you all like insects he repeat this over and over again" the employee said
"what about the alarm? What the hell is happening!?" Mrs. Orimoto asked
"we don't know Ma'am, the radars and communications aren't working properly!" The employee said
"boss we got a radio message from Kimura from the Empire of Khana! The message it's damaged" the communicator said
"put it on!" Mrs. Orimot said
attention H.Q...............you.........out.......castle........position!......I repe..........get out.......flying....your position!
"what Kimura tried to say?mmm...quickly put the cameras of the outside in the far east!" Mrs. Orimoto commanded, the image was blurry and sometimes it cut, but for a brief moment the image was perfect but what was in there terrorized them all, the flying castle was heading directly to their direction.
