Chapter. 37

The abductor aimed and primed its miniguns to fire. Connar grabbled to the machine's arm and started cutting off the weapon mounted on the right arm.

Uwe drew his his rocket launcher, he and his accessory fired at the abductor's chest. Elfriede revved up her minigun and unleashed a hale of bullets on the robot's will'o pod.

Connar cut off the abductor's minigun, the thief leaped off and grabbed the minigun by the barrel. "Take a knee!" Connar swung the gun into the machine's leg and knocked it down, then slammed the gun into the will'o pod, breaking it open.

The thief repeatedly stroked the abductor, with each hit red will'o spilled out on Connar. Covering him in a red aura. At the same time another abductor arrived, this time its will'o veins were pale blue.

"Careful everyone, we have an ice resistant one coming in." Shouted Uwe.

Connar dropped the minigun and ran towards the next abductor, picking up two chainsaws on the way. The red will'o flowed onto the weapons and let them ablaze. Connar held his swords in a reverse grip and jumped at the abductor's chest.

As this happened Uwe shot a rocket at one of the abductor pods and destroyed it. His accessory did the same to another pod and took it down.

Elfried fired at the third abductor pod, tearing it to machine shot at her, Elfriede dodged the laser and threw her thorn at it to draw it closer and punched the machine.

The last one shot a laser at Carlos. The sinner moved out of the way the threw his spear at it, the weapon pieced the machine's 'eye' and short circuited it.

The thief plunged his chainsaws into the will'o pod and stated cutting it open. The abductor reached down to grab Connar but the sinner pulled out one of his swords and stabbed the machine's hand.

The abductor pulled its hand back and Connar went back to cutting the machine's will'o pod open. The pod burst open and the machine fell on its knees. The thief went inside and slashed at the walls of the will'o pod. Pale blue will'o rained on Connar.

The abductor stood and closed its will'o pod, will'o filled the pod but leaked out the cuts Connar made inside. The machine ran out of will'o and shut down, it crashed to the ground and Connar cut open the robots back and climbed out.

When Connar got out of the abductor his aura became a swirl of red and blue.

Elfriede approached Connar slowly, with her father right behind with his rocket launcher at the ready. Carlos stayed away, wanting to see what happened from a safe place.

"Connar?" Asked Elfriede.

The thief looked at her, his eyes flared with pure will'o. "This... This is power... Need, want more... I want more!" Connar threw his thorn at Elfriede's accessory and drained it of will'o.

The accessory fell down and Connar's aura spiked. "More! I need more!"

"Connar! You need to stop this!" Shouted Elfriede.

Just then another abductor showed up, this time a normal biped type. The robot ran towards Connar while the sinner just walked towards it, swaying back and forth.

The abductor raised its hands up and swiftly brought them down. Connar just held his swords up and stopped the robots fists, stabbing them in the process. The abductor pulled its arms back and Connar pulled his swords back and tore the machine's hands off.

The machine stepped back and pointed its guns at Connar.

"Look out!" Uwe made a thorn wall to save Connar. "What are you doing?! Huh?" Uwe felt the will'o flowing off of Connar and empowering Uwe. Elfriede got close to Connar as well and felt the will'o as well.

"Go! Destory it!"

Uwe and Elfriede both attacked the abductor with their fists, punching its legs. The will'o strengthened the father and daughter, with a single punch from them the abductor's legs were blown away. The robot's body crashed into the ground.

"What is this?" Asked Elfriede.

Uwe threw a small punch and could see the will'o trail it made. "We'll find out in a moment. Right now let's break this abductor."

"Right!" The two punched the abductor in its will'o pod, the will'o flowed through the machine and overloaded it, causing the whole robot to self destruct.

Uwe and Elfriede blown back but the will'o aura softened their landing.

"What the hell was that!?" Uwe got up and shouted at Connar.

the aura around Connar faded and so did the one around Elfriede and Uwe. Connar's eyes returned to normal and passed out.

Elfriede caught Connar before he hit the pavement. "Connar? Come on Connar, stop doing this!"

The thief was regaining consciousness and Elfriede laid him down gently. Connar sat up with Elfriede's help and rubbed his forehead. "Okay, who knocked me out? Uwe I'm looking at you."

Carlos walked towards the three, clapping. "Heh heh heh, hahahahaha! That was a show, how did you do that Connar?"

"Do what? Stop playing the pronoun game and tell me!"

"You tell me. The glowing eyes, the monster strength, the will'o aura you gave to them that made their fists into bombs. You're hiding something, conscious or not. Heh heh heh."

"Come here and say..." Connar tried to get up but he didn't have energy and fell back down. "Damn it! What happened? What happened here?" The thief scanned the area, seeing the three broken abductors. "Did I miss the party?"

"You WERE the party." Said Uwe, folding his arms. "Somehow you channeled will'o."

"What?! AH!" Connar held his head. "Why is my head hurting? What hit me?"

Elfriede saw Connar's eyes glowing again. "Connar you need to calm down, we'll go back to the con and you can rest."

"Why can't I remember the past few minutes?" The glowing was getting brighter. "What happened?"

"You were knocked out by one of the enemy sinners. They hit you with a hammer, that's your head hurts."

"Really?" The glow was fading quietly.

Uwe gave a death glare to Carlos, who was failing to hold back his snickers. "Let's get out of here before more show up." Uwe helped Connar on his feet and helped him back to the transport.

...

"Everyone okay?" Asked Uwe when they returned to their con.

Connar was still dizzy from the operation. Elfriede let Connar go so he could stand on his own. "I think so."

"Good to hear sinner. Keep up the good work."

"You okay Elfy?"

The girl nods. "Why wouldn't I be? You did most of the heavy lifting."

Uwe turns to his daughter. "You did good out there, both of you." Elfriede giggled, glad to have her fathers approval. "But I can still see you pulling punches when you lose focus. You need to work on that, okay?"

"But dad! I-I was concerned about Connar!"

Carlos laughs at the whole event. "Well I'm fine, thanks for asking. Could have done without Elfriede crying for her daddy though. Gave me a damn headache."

Connar drew his chainsaw. "I can take care of that." Connar brought up his hand to his face, his head was still hurting.

"Knock it off, both of you!" Uwe walked away and his daughter fallowed. Elfriede turned back to Connar as she left, still worried about her friend. When they got to the top of the stair Elfriede stopped to watch what happens.

"There goes a healthy family unit if ever I saw one. Heh." laughed Carlos. "You should have seen how nervous the old fool was when Elfriede first hit the battlefield."

"What father wouldn't be worried about their own daughter taking bullets." Pointed Connar.

"Yeah, the little so and so wasn't going to take no for an answer. Said she wanted to be there for her old man. Ugh... I'm sure he's happy she can look after herself now, but you can see it stresses him out to no end watching her head out on operations." Carlos then shrugged. "Anyway, time to hit the way." Carlos left.

Alone Connar walked to his cell once inside he crashed on the bed. Falling asleep instantly.

Elfriede was outside Connar's cell, jumping to see him sleeping. "What happened to you Connar?"
