Chapter 12
The Bandits True Hearts
"A Mr. Bandit leader can you tell me more about that creature?" I asked
"I guess so, long ago when the first bandits lived, they discovered an island, they explored the island then decided to make civilization here, everything was going great until, that creature came. One night it terrorized the village and destroyed houses and everything people were injured people were killed. So we decided to kill it the beast but it was too strong for us to handle, and still after all these years it's being terrorizing the people here and very soon our sun disappeared as well." The bandit said.
"But that doesn't make sense why you being stealing people's stuff and killing them after." Shun said
"You see after the island was terrorized, people started to ignore us, thinking we were horrible people and dirty people with no good, but the monster destroyed more and more of our crops each day we had no choice but to steal, but we never killed the people." The bandit said.
"I think the people said that to scare people that the bandits were horrible people so no one would get close to them." I said
"But why did you kidnap us?" Runo said.
"You guys were children, special children each one from an different realm, we thought you could help us." He said
"You could have just asked then kidnapping us and making it sound like we were prisoners." Julie said
"Yes, sorry us bandits were in a hurry, we knew you guy's wouldn't want come so we had to do it by force." He said
"Ok, we'll help, but promise us a few things." I said
"Anything." He pleased
"One you'll let us go after and start trading instead of stealing, then you'll get along with everyone." I said
"Ok." The bandit leader replied
"Ok then let's roll out we got a creature to slay." Dan shouted
"Yeah!" we all shouted.
"We'll attack at night again in the mean time let's prepare!" Marucho suggested
"Ok!" we all replied.
Soon night fall came.
All of us were hiding and ready for an attack.
Marucho was with the bandit leader ready to drop the net.
Runo, Julie, Dan, Shun, and I were ready to take down the creature.
"Keep your eye's pealed guy's." Dan warned.
"We know." Runo said.
In moments time the creature appeared.
And Dan was the first to attack "Fire tornado!"
"Spark of light!" Runo shouted aiming an light orb at the creature.
"Grand Down!" Julie shouted hitting the ground creating an earthquake.
"Winds of fury!" Shun shouted creating an tornado.
This made the creature weaken.
"Alice now!" Runo shouted
"Ok." I said and loaded my arrow. "Crimson Arrow!" I shouted letting go of the arrow, the arrow turned it a spark of light and hit the monster dead on.
"Nice!" Dan shouted.
The creature fell to the ground,
"Drop the net!" Marucho ordered.
The bandit did what was told.
"We got it! Thanks kids." The bandit said, but they spoke too soon.
The monster was breaking free, once it did it flew to the air and cried again.
'There's that cry again, what wrong with it?' I wondered
Then it swooped down and attacked my friends "Guy's" I shouted then it flew towards me and with its claws it grabbed me and began to fly away. "Ahh! Put me down!" cried, put I was already far from where everyone was.
Runo P.O.V
"Alice!" I shouted
"Darn it got Alice." Shun shouted
"Let's get it!" Dan said
"Agreed." Julie and I said
"Wait for me!" Marucho called, but just as we were about to set off the bandit leader stopped us.
"Let us through!" Dan shouted.
"Calm down right now, rest and plan the attack if you go now hurt and clueless about what to do your going to be beaten." The bandit leader said. "I understand how you feel, but you kids need to rest."
We all took a deep breath and nodded and headed back for camp.
As we walked to the camp, Julie spoke up, "Do you think she's going to be ok?"
"She's the one, she'll survive that thing." Dan said
"Yeah, your right." Julie said happily.
We all lay in our beds asleep, but the only thing in my mind is Alice, I hope she'd ok, I think everyone was hoping the same thing.
