Chapter 6: Ambush
Finally Elvy was ready to leave to go back home. She paid the clerk at the front desk of the hotel, and then headed to her escort carriage. Yasuo, and Sky were already inside. Hio was on a PecoPeco outside as a guard. The escort started moving, and headed east towards Prontera. Until they got to the Sograt desert the ride was fairly uneventful besides for the occasional monster sighting. A little after passing by the city of Morroc, Hio noticed a caravan following them. He was suspicious at first but noticed only the driver and Pecos around, so he just thought it was a normal caravan. Suddenly a sandstorm came out of nowhere.
"What's going on?!?" Elvy cried out.
"I don't know my lady, a sandstorm it seems. Sky be ready for anything" Hio answered as he unsheathed his sword.
BOOM!!
The caravan behind the escort exploded and from the smoke arose seven mobsters. The visibility was horrible because of the storm, but the mobsters lived in the desert so they had no trouble moving around. Sky searched his bag and finally found his binoculars. He put them on and jumped on top of the carriage for a better view.
"Hio I can see, but only so far out. I'll direct you where they are coming from" Sky Explained.
Hio nodded and tensed up for the coming battle. It seemed like forever before the first mobster attacked.
"HIO YOUR LEFT!!!" Sky yelled as he released an arrow at the mobster.
The mobster ran out of the way, and then jumped at Hio. Hio saw and was ready for him. Their swords clashed, but Hio noticed that the monster's swing was weak. He was right; the mobster released his sword and went straight for the carriage.
"NO!!!" Hio yelled as he started to run after the monster but knew he wouldn't reach him in time.
Sky fired volley after volley of arrows at the oncoming mobster, but the mobster was too quick and Sky missed every shot. The mobster was almost upon the carriage, when Elvy looked to see what was going on. The mobster jumped at her ready to strike. Elvy saw the mobster coming straight at her, but her body froze from fear. Right before the Mobster was upon Elvy and the carriage, she saw for only an instant a shadowy figure fly past her sights and when the figure was gone so was the mobster.
"Oh my god Princess are you alright?" Yasuo asked after returning to the carriage from healing Hio and Sky.
"Yes I'm fine, how are they doing?" Elvy asked concerned.
Sky jumped from the top off carriage to the soft hot sand.
"My lady we are doing fine, but if this keeps up we will not survive." Sky answered while shooting volley after volley at anything he saw.
Suddenly the sand storm vanished just as quickly as it occurred. As the sand finished falling, everyone looked around.
"Hio how many did you kill? I was only able to dispatch one or two myself" Sky said confused.
"I was only able to take one" Hio answered just as confused as Sky at the sight they saw.
The three mobsters that Hio and Sky killed were near the carriage. But the other four mobsters were some yards away on the ground slain a bloody mess around them.
"Who could have done all this…?" Sky said thinking out loud.
"Omi…" Elvy thought, as she grabbed the handkerchief he gave to her and hugged it tightly to her chest. "Hio, Sky lets get going…being out in the open like this is dangerous" she commanded.
"Yes my lady" they both answered.
The escort started moving again, and after the incident in the desert they had no other problems as they reached their destination.
