A/N Chapter 30! The beginning of missions.
Saturn sighed "I'm so tired! We just got back and they already want us to do more work!" She complained
"Can't be help" Yuri said "Besides it'll take a day anyway"
Kanade and Julie remain silent.
"Yeah but still, it would be nice to get a little more rest" Saturn said "AND WHY IS HE HERE!"
Saturn pointed at Tk who was following them.
TK did a few more dance moves before making guns with his fingers and pointing them at Saturn "Aww Yeah"
Yuri sighed as she knew this was going to be a long day.
Kanade pointed to a building that was coming up. "There's the Bakery"
All five of them walked up to the bakery. Waiting at the Bakery door was an old women holding some sort of package. When the old women saw the five she smiled "You must be team SKYJ. Oh I didn't expect to see five of you"
"Yeah about that" Yuri said staring at TK, she tried to think of an explanation.
"No worries" The old women assured "The more the better"
"So what do you need us to do?" Saturn asked
The old women showed them the package "I need you to deliver this to a village not far from here. The village will be helping cater for the Vital Festival's fairgrounds and they'll need this for it"
Everyone immediately wanted to know what was in the package but decided it was none of their business. Yuri had a suspicion but saved it for later.
The old woman handed the package to Julie "The village is west from here. You should reach there in a hour by foot"
Team SKYJ
Location: Bakery
Objective: Deliver the Package (Arrest any bandits that get in your way)
Saturn whined again "Ah, one hour of walking! Couldn't they give us some sort of transportation"
"These roads weren't built for vehicles" Kanade said
Julie walked looking at the package, wondering what was inside and why was it so important.
TK ran ahead while doing dance moves at the same time "Chop Chop Chop Chop Chop"
Saturn did not understand that person. Yuri didn't comment for she was deep in thought. Yuri was more than happy to acquiesce with the terms of the mission. But something bothered her.
"Yo! What's bothering you?" TK asked Yuri in very bad english.
"Don't you think it's weird that's this is a mission" Yuri asked the group
Julie tilted her head in confusion "What do you mean?"
"The whole mission is literally a delivery. Am I the only one who thinks it's weird that this is considered a mission for huntsmen and huntresses" Yuri asked
Everyone thought about their leader's words. In a way, she had a point. Most missions are usually clearing grimm from certain areas or catching wanted criminals. Yet here they were, delivering a package as a mission.
"It said arrest an bandits that get in you way" Kanade pointed out looking at a piece of paper that had the mission details on it.
"Really?" Saturn asked "Wait, now that I think about, Didn't the old women warn us about bandits being ubiquitous in the forest"
"Hey yo!" TK said grabbing everyone's attention "Check that out!" He pointed at a forest that they were approaching.
"Well speak of the devil" Yuri commented.
They all studied the thick forest. The trees were tall that blocked out the sun and there was a walking path that went straight threw it.
"So the village is on the other side huh?" Saturn asked even though she already knew the answer.
"We should get going" Kanade said
With that, they entered the forest. The sun was blocked by the leaves of the trees but small rays of sunlight were able to fit through so it wasn't totally dark. But that didn't help the disturbing silence that filled the forest.
It was completely quiet. Not the peaceful type of quiet but the type of quiet that would make you nervous. The forest consisted of trees, the path itself and more tress. Nothing else, no animals, no rivers or anything. The only things that could be heard were team SKYJ's footsteps which sounded really loud compared to the silence that filled the forest.
Kanade and Julie looked around as they walked. It was obvious to say that they weren't comfortable with the silence.
"It's really quiet" Saturn commented
Yuri agreed "Yeah, even for a forest this seems a bit odd. We better stay just as quiet in case there's-"
"Woah!" TK yelled jumpscaring everyone "Dancing in the shadow!"
Yuri slapped her hand into TK's mouth and glared at him "SSSHHH! Did you not hear what I just said. Whatever is out there portably knows were here because of you"
TK nodded both understanding and apologising.
Yuri sighed, using her semblance a handgun formed itself in her hand "Be prepared, I have a feeling were not alone"
Everyone nodded and continued. Once again, the only thing that was heard was their footsteps on the rocky path. No one said anything for they were too busy observing their surroundings.
Julie wished Tooru was here.
Kanade was nervous but was glad to be with Yuri and TK.
Yuri was ready to jump at any time with her gun pointing to wherever she looked.
TK placed his hands in his gun holsters where he kept his duel guns.
Saturn couldn't sworn she heard something besides their footsteps.
Overall, everyone was really paranoid and also felt the feeling that they were being watched.
Little did they know that their feelings could've have been so right for there were two men wearing cloaks hiding themselves high in the tree branches. One of them had binoculars and was looking at Team SKYJ, well... to be more specific, he was looking at the package Julie was holding.
The man got out a walkie talkie and whispered softly "Boss, huntresses have entered out territory and they have the package. What do we do?"
"Release the wolves. If that's not enough, send in your squad"
"Roger that"
Back to Team SKYJ, the group had already been walking for 15 minutes and still nothing. TK continued to walk in a weird dancing way but kept quiet.
"This sure has turn into one hell of a devilry" Saturn commented.
"We should reach the village in another 10 minutes" Kanade said looking at her scroll which had a GPS.
Julie just continued to stare at the package. She wasn't much of a talker and hasn't really said much. However she continued to stare at the package. All of this was just for a package and it made her curious about what was in it. A single piece of her hair on the top of her head waved right to left showing her curiosity.
Suddenly Saturn heard something. Something that sounded way too familiar. But she didn't know whether she was just hearing things or not. "There aren't any grimm around here right?"
Yuri spoke her head "Not anymore. I've been told that since this forest isn't as big as other forest, The grimm that used to live here were cleared out long ago by previous huntsmen and huntresses"
All of a sudden, growls were heard and a pack of beowolves surrounded then.
Holding her twin wands, Saturn looked at the wolves and then back at Yuri "You were saying"
"Whoa! Out of nowhere!" TK commented in really bad english
"Blaze" After some fire effects, twin blades appeared in Julie's hand
"Guard Skill: Hand Sonic" A hand blade appeared on both Kanade's left hand and right hand.
One of the wolves charged and jumped at Kanade and swung it's claw at her. With her hand blades, Kanade blocked with her her left hand and then stabbed the wolf with her right.
The rest of the pack followed. With excellent speed and agility. Julie dodged the attacks coming from the three wolves that were attacking her. Then, swinging her swords really fast she chopped the three wolves into pieces at the same time.
"Yeah, step on" TK said doing dance moves to dodged the attacks from a beowolf. The wolf charged at him again, TK took out his duel guns pointing both guns at the wolf's eyes. He immediately fires 3-6 shots killing the wolf.
The orbs in Saturn's twin wands turn light blue. Ice shards suddenly appear out of nothing, floating around Saturn. Saturn pointed her wand and all ice shards were fired impelling 5-8 wolves.
Yuri aimed her handgun at the last wolf that remained and shoot it in there head.
And that was it. All grimm that ambushed them were wiped out just like that. Everyone relaxed a bit.
"Well that was easy" Saturn said proud of herself
"Don't grimm usually travel in bigger packs?" Julie asked.
"Julie is right" Yuri agreed "Something is not right here"
Kanade sensed something "Guard Skill: Distortion"
Her hand blades disappeared and an invisible shield appeared around her. Suddenly, the sound of a gunshot was heard and a bullet was fired at Kanade. Fortunately the bullet was deflected by Kanade's shield.
Everyone was back on guard. "What was that?" Saturn asked
Yuri narrowed her eyes "Sniper"
All of sudden, a group of men, who were hiding behind trees appeared and started firing at them.
"A trap!" TK said
"Everyone take cover! Behind the trees!" Yuri ordered
While being fired at by many bullets, Team SKJY and TK barely manage to take cover behind the trees. But they were cornered. They kept firing meaning they couldn't look to see where they were firing from.
Yuri wanted to peek her head and see but she knew her head would be shot if she did. "SATURN, CREATED SOME COVER FOR US!"
Saturn understood. The orbs on her twin wands turned light blue. She smashed her wands into the ground and created an ice wall.
Team SKYJ and Saturn took cover behind the ice wall as the enemy continued to fire.
"How much bullets do they have?" Yuri asked rhetorically. She couldn't see the enemy that was in front of them but she could see the enemy that sneaking up from behind.
She saw a man appear from behind the trees and aim his gun at them. Quick as lighting, Yuri raised her gun and shot him in the shoulder. However three more men appeared and fired. Saturn summoned another ice wall blocking the bullets.
"This is bad" Yuri commented "They're attacking from both sides, we're completely surrounded"
Another gun shot was heard from the sniper. The bullet pierced through Saturn's ice wall and headed towards Yuri's head. Yuri moved her head dodging the bullet barely.
"Aww Yeah" TK said standing back up "Just like wild heaven!"
TK left the cover of Saturn's ice wall and charged down the left side.
"TK wait!" Yuri was too late for he was already on his way "Kanade! Julie! Support him. Me and Saturn will take care of the right side"
Julie and Kanade nodded and followed after TK.
Now it was just Saturn and Yuri. All of sudden, three missiles were fired. The missile hit Saturn's ice shield causing it to explode. Saturn quickly summoned another ice wall while Yuri took a quick look. She saw three men each holding a Bazooka.
"This is not good" Yuri said
"Tell me something I don't know!" Saturn yelled.
The sniper from before fired another shot. It pieced through Saturn's ice wall but Yuri was able to dodged again.
"That sniper is getting really annoying" Saturn said. It was annoying since they didn't even know when the sniper was shooting from.
Yuri smiled "Two can play that game"
Insert Song: Fairy Tail Mystogan no Theme Ost - Extended
Yuri raised her hand forward and summoned her own sniper gun. "Saturn cover me!"
"Hai!" The orbs on Saturn's twin wand turned brown. Suddenly, rocks made from the ground started levitating into the air. Saturn pointed her wands and the levitating rocks were fired at the enemy.
At the same time, Yuri scoped the area with her sniper. There were around 15 people, 10 were holding assault rifles, 3 were holding bazookas, One wore a cloak that hid their face, and one was probably hiding somewhere with a sniper.
Yuri saw the ones who was holding a Bazooka were reloading their weapons. They were going to be a nuisance if they continued. Yuri aimed her sniper and fired.
The bullet flew across the field and hit the man in the shoulder. 1 down 2 more to go.
Yuri was about to hit the second Bazooka wielder when suddenly, the man wearing the cloak took off his cloak revealing his weapon. Yuri's eyes widened "They've got a Minigun!"
"What!"
The guy with the minigun aimed his weapon and rapidly fired at the ice wall. Each bullets pierced right through the ice wall. Saturn and Yuri ran to the side running away from the bullets and took cover behind the trees.
Yuri aimed her sniper at the minigun user but before she could, the sniper fired a bullet hitting Yuri's sniper making it shatter to pieces. However, she quickly summoned another sniper gun aimed and fired.
The bullet flew across the battle field hitting someone in the shoulder. It was one of the bazooka users. Yuri was aiming at the Minigun users but decided it was better than hitting nothing.
10 assault rifle men, 1 bazooka user, 1 minigun user and 1 sniper still left.
The last Bazooka users had fully loaded his weapon and pointed his weapon at the tree Saturn was hiding behind. He fired the missile. Saturn raised her wand and a wall made of rock appeared in front of her. The missile hit the rock wall with an explosion. The smoke cleared and Saturn remained unharmed.
The minigun user and the men holding assault rifles fired at Yuri and Saturn. Yuri and Saturn ran to the other trees taking cover from the fire. They could barely attack with all the bullets that were being fired at them. They were forced to be on the defensive.
Meanwhile, TK is charging at the men carrying assault rifles. They were all firing at him but none of the bullet hit him. He was sprinting, dodging and dancing towards them at the same time. Julie and Kanade supported him from behind. Julie was faster.
"Guard Skill: Distortion" Kanade stopped and stood right in the middle of battlefield where anyone could shoot her, an invisible shield appeared around her. The enemy spotted her and rapidly fired at her but failed to injure her.
Julie took this chance and slashed the men who were firing at Kanade. Whenever someone fired at Julie, Julie would dodged with amazing speed.
TK charges at two men who were firing at him. He easily reached them without getting scratched. Jumped and landed in between the two men landing on his hands. He then spun around kicking both men in the head.
Five men showed up and fired at him. TK did a backflips and front flips dodge the bullets. As he was doing backflips and front flips, he fired using his duel guns while in mid air. He knocked out two men using that method. He then starting sprinting towards the three remaining men while still doing weird body movements. But they couldn't shoot him because of him doing those weird body movements.
He then jumped into air, did an awesome flip before kicking the three remaining men with both his leg and arm.
Back to Kanade. Many bullets were shot at her yet all of them were deflected. Kanade had been standing there for over two minutes. She hand a neutral expression as she she just stood there in the middle of gunfire. It reminded her of the time when she was in the afterlife.
"S* I'm out of bullets" One of the bandits swore.
Another guy emptied all his bullets at Kanade only to have all those bullets deflected. "Darn! Me too!"
Suddenly, a girl jumped at them from the slide and slashed them knocking all of them out.
Kanade and Julie looked around. They had successfully knocked out everyone single enemy that was on the left side.
"Wow!" TK said appearing with a trial of unconscious bodies behind him "Good Job!"
"We should help the others" Kanade stated
Julie nodded "Ja"
Back to Saturn and Yuri. They are currently being pinned into a corner.
8 Assault rifle men, 1 bazooka user, 1 minigun user and 1 sniper still left.
Yuri waited a couple of more seconds for the bullets to be fired. She then swiftly exited the cover of the tree, she aimed and fired.
The bullet flew across the field and hit the last bazooka user in the shoulder knocking him out.
The sniper aimed at Yuri and fired. The minigun user also aimed her weapon and rapidly fired at Yuri.
The orbs in Saturn's twin wand turned grey and a stone wall appeared in front of Yuri and Saturn blocking the incoming bullets.
Saturn and Yuri waited until they ran out of bullets. As soon as the enemy needed to reload, Yuri and Saturn sprang into action. Saturn lifted her wand and the stone wall broke into levitating pieces. She then fired those stone pieces at the enemy knocking out 4 assault rifle men.
Yuri quickly aimed her sniper again and fired.
The bullet flew across the field and missed the Minigun user as he somehow dodged it. The sniper aimed and fired, the bullet hit Yuri's sniper gun making out shatter to pieces.
3 Assault rifle men, 1 minigun user and 1 sniper still left.
Despite the situation, Yuri was able to tell where the sniper was from that last shot. She summoned yet another sniper gun and aimed it at one of the tree branches. Through her scope she saw the sniper standing on one of the tree branches not far from here.
She aimed and fired.
The bullet flew across the field and hit the Sniper's gun making it shatter to pieces. The man who used to have a sniper retreated after that.
The minigun user aimed at Yuri and rapidly fired. Before Yuri could do anything, Kanade stood in front of her.
As the bullets flew towards Kanade, they were all deflected by an invisible force field that surrounded Kanade.
Julie ran past her and charged at the Minigun user. Before the man could do anything else, he was knocked out by Julie's twin sword.
The three remaining assault rifle men stood there not believing that their entire squad of bandits were easily wiped out. Suddenly, TK appeared out of nowhere. He single handedly knocked out the three remaining bandits with his fist, guns and dance moves.
TK did a final victory pose while Yuri, Saturn and Julie panted for air. Kanade didn't seem tired at all though.
"Well that was easy" Saturn said again but still panting
"Easy come, easy go" TK commented who didn't seem tired at all.
"What do about them?" Julie asked pointing at the bandits who ambushed them
"The details says we arrest them" Kanade said
"How are we suppose to do that?" Saturn asked
Yuri looked around. She thought about how to handle this situation, However she stopped thinking about that when she realised something "Julie?"
"Ja?" Julie said looking at Yuri
"Where's the package?" Yuri asked
Julie looked around "I put it over..." Julie pointed to a patch of grass where the package used to be "there"
Yuri blinked twice before finally understanding the situation "EHHHHHHH?! You lost it!?"
"I put it right here" Julie said
Yuri panicked "It was probably stolen during the fight. On no this is bad"
"What's so important about the package?" Saturn asked blankly
"Is it important" Kanade asked
Yuri facepalmed really hard "Have you forgotten?! Our mission is to deliver that package"
It took Kanade and Saturn a couple of second to fully process what she just said "Oh!" They both said at the same time
"HOW COULD YOU FORGET!"
TK spun around and did a few more weird body movements before stopping "Get chance and luck"
How is this Luck?!" Yuri was beginning to get very frustrated "Anyways, we need to find that package! One of the bandits must've taken it!"
"But where do we start looking?" Saturn asked "This forest may be small compared to others but it's still too big for the five of us to search"
"Maybe they went that way" Julie walked up to the spot where the package used to be and pointed at direction. On the floor were rocks, dirt and twigs. In the dirt you could see the faint shadow of footsteps and twigs that have been walked on.
Yuri brightened up at the find "Nice find Julie! Everyone follow me!"
With that, Team SKYJ and TK followed the trail that was left behind. The trail lead off the path in other words they had to be careful not to get loss. They jogged for a good five minutes and haven't found anything. But they knew they were on the right track.
Eventually they slowed down and continued walking for they knew they were getting close.
They could hear the faint sound of people talking and building.
As they walked Saturn thought of something completely irrelevant to the situation "Has anyone else noticed Jason's change in behaviour?"
Kanade and Julie just shrugged while Yuri thought about it. Yuri had a thought but wasn't sure "What do you mean?"
"You know" Saturn said trying to remember what Jason acted like at first "He smiled more. He was more... cheerful and lively I guess. To be honest he was sometimes full of himself"
Saturn had a point. Jason was behaving oddly and she was pretty sure her other comrades had also noticed. Ever since they got back from the ocean, Jason has been acting very depressed. Everytime you looked at him, it was like Jason was debating with himself. Of course, they rarely saw Jason but when they did he looked really down and more serious than usual.
One thing was obvious. Something was bothering Jason and he refused to say what.
"We are here" TK said grabbing everyone's attention.
All of stop and hid behind a tree. They peeked over and looked, connecting at least 5-6 trees, was a fortresses. There were bandits guarding all entrances and exits.
Julie wished Tooru was here.
"A tree house" Kanade said
"A big one at that fact" Saturn added "So what's the plan?"
Yuri thought about this "First we'll sneak in and-"
"I'm TK!" TK yelled grabbing everyone's attention including the bandits "I'm going my way!"
With that TK sprinted at the tree fortress "TK WAIT!" Saturn yelled
The bandits amined their guns at TK. Kanade and Julie stood up and were about to support TK when-
"Wait!" Yuri said "If wwe all charge in it'll turn into a massacre. Were going to sneak in while they're busy with TK"
"Were just going to leave him?!" Saturn asked not believing what Yuri just said
"Don't underestimate him" Yuri said "His actually really skilled both offense and evading. Besides his already dead, if he gets shot he'll just come back...unless..."
"Unless what?" Saturn asked
Yuri thought about this quickly for she could already hear gunfire. In the afterlife, everyone disappeared once they had...'moved on'. Yuri had a theory that maybe after disappearing, they were reincarnated into the real world into a new life. But she wasn't sure and now wasn't really the time to be thinking about that.
"Just trust me. Everything will be fine" Yuri declared "I hope"
In the Tree Fortress
The boss of the entire bandit gang sat in his chair waiting in the middle of 5 other people. He was already getting tired of this tree house. The only reason why he built his base here was so he could obtain a certain item. He was currently waiting for the results. He was an average sized man, wore a mask that hid his face and on his back were two weapons, it was hard to tell what the weapons was though.
One of the bandits finished talking to someone on their walkie talkies "Boss, he has "
"Bring him in" The boss said briefly
Once the man was let in the room, the boss asked "Do you have it?"
"Yes" The man said revealing the package, giving it to the boss.
The boss was delighted to finally obtain what he had been looking for. As he admired the package, he asked "Where's your squad?"
"They were wiped out sir"
"Wiped out?!" The boss didn't believe it "Are you serious?"
"Yes and it won't be long until they find us"
"No matter" The boss declared "We have what we came for. Everyone packed Up! Were moving!"
"Umm boss? May I ask what's inside the package. I lost an entire squad getting this package after all"
The boss grinned "The ingredient that is inside this package is worth millions and millions on the black market! Instead of explaining, I'll just show you"
He was about to open it when suddenly they heard someone yell from outside "I'm TK! I'm going my way!"
"Who was that?!"
"Fool! They must've followed you here" The boss scolded
"Boss, A guy is heading towards us" Another bandit said
"Well don't just stand there shoot him!" The boss yelled frustrate
"We're trying sir but we can't hit him"
"What do you mean you can't hit him"
"His too fast to hit sir"
"Then send in more men!"
"yes boss!"
The boss sighed before saying "Rest of you, come with me. Were leaving!"
Insert Song: Fairy Tail Mystogan no Theme Ost - Extended
Suddenly, there was an explosion at the entrance of the room creating smoke.
Team SKYJ emerge from the smoke "Hand it over" Yuri said pointing her gun at the boss.
The man who stole the package for his boss recognised them "There the ones who defeated my squad!"
"Well don't just stand there!" The boss exclaimed "GET THEM!"
The six bandits took out their weapons and attacked. Three held assault rifles while three held swords. The ones who held assault rifles rapidly fired at Team SKYJ.
Kanade stood in the front "Guard Skill: Distortion"
All bullets that were fired were deflected by Kanade's invisible shield.
With her twin blades, Julie ran past Kanade and sprinted at them. Two bandits that held swords stood in Julie's way. They both swung their sword at her and missed, using the opportunity Julie swung both her sword knocking both men out.
The last swordsmen was shot in the shoulder by Yuri before he could do anything.
The orbs on Saturn's twin wands turned green and suddenly, vines appeared and moved by itself. The three assault rifle men was tangled in the vines and thrown outside.
Yuri pointed her gun at the boss of the bandits "Who are you? and Why do you want that package?"
"Okay two things" The boss of the bandits said "First, Why would I tell you who I am? And second, the question should be why wouldn't I want this package"
"James Mordred" Kanade said answering one of Yuri's question.
Mordred gasped "How did you know?"
Kanade showed Mordred the screen of her scroll "You're on the Top Ten Most Wanted Criminals"
"oh"
"Anyways" Yuri said still pointing the gun at Mordred "It's over. Hand it over"
Under his mask, Mordred grinned "You want to know why I'm on the Top Ten Most Wanted Criminals"
Mordred dropped the package and reached for the two weapons on his back. Yuri noticed this and fired a bullet.
However, to her surprise. Mordred dodged the bullets and took out his weapon. His turned his two weapons on and they started making a very loud noise. Mordred held two mini chainsaws, one in each hand.
Saturn gulped. Kanade's neutral expression didn't change. Julie wished Tooru was here. Yuri wasn't really impressed.
Mordred charged and swung one of his mini chainsaw at Saturn. Kanade stood in front of Saturn and blocked with the invisible shield that was around her.
Saturn raised her wand. The vines around Modred started moving by themselves and moved towards Mordred. Modred jumped back successfully cut down every vine that attempted to wrap around him with his double chainsaws.
Mordred looked back to check if the package was okay but then saw Julie picking it up. "HEY THAT MINE!"
He charged at Julie and swung his chainsaw down at her.
"JULIE WATCHED OUT" Saturn warned Julie as she panicked. However, Yuri was calm for she already had her snipe gun ready to shoot him.
Julie turned around and the first thing she saw was a man swinging his chainsaw at her. She unequiped her sword so she could pick up the package so all she could do was look.
Julie wished Tooru was here. He would've protected her and Julie would've protected him. Julie didn't mind working with other people, she just really wanted to see Tooru again. Julie wished Tooru was here. "TOORU KOKONOE!"
Julie was suddenly engulfed in a blue and white light. Yuri was shocked herself for she never heard Julie raise her voice like that before.
Insert Song: Fairy Tail OST - 44 - Battle Version
A copy of Tooru appeared in front of Julie and he blocked Mordred's attack with his shield.
Modred and Yuri were both shocked but only Yuri recognised what it was.
(FLASHBACK)
Jason shrugged "The idea of Characters summoining other chracters is impossible by itself. Honetly I have no idea how some of you learned Character Summoning"
(FLASHBACK ENDS)
The copy of Tooru let out a war cry before pushing Mordred back. Mordred couldn't believe that he was being pushed back by man who was just using a shield. The Tooru then pushed him back with great force.
Mordred took a few steps back. He then saw that the vines were moving by themselves and were heading towards him. Mordred barely retained his balance and swung his chainsaw-
"Guard Skill: Hand Sonic" Kanade charged at Mordred and chopped both his chainsaws in half before he could do anything with them.
Saturn sent her vines and the vines wrapped themselves around Mordred immobilising him.
Yuri aimed her sniper gun. She may not be as good as Sinon but hitting Mordred in this situation was child's play. Yuri fired a stun bullet and it hit Mordred right in the head completely paralysing him.
With that, the battle was over.
Everyone panted for air but it was soon followed by sighs of relief for it was finally over.
"Well that was easy" Saturn said again but was still panting.
"Just a wild heaven!" A familiar voice yelled.
It was then, Team SKYJ had remembered that they completely forgot about TK. They ran outside to support him but were flabbergasted at they saw.
Outside, every bandit that went after TK was lying on the ground groaning in pain. The only person left standing was TK himself. He did a final victory pose, looked at Team SKYJ and said "Aww yeah"
Yuri and Saturn stared in disbelief while Kanade's and Julie's neutral expression didn't change.
Not long after that, the Vale Police Department arrived and arrested the entire group of bandits including James Mordred. It was then explained that the mission was a delivery but catching bandits was a side mission but they never expected there to be an entire base.
But with that all done and the package back in their possession. Team SKYJ and TK arrived at the village.
The Ellingsworth's Village
As soon as they arrived, they were greeted by a young women named Natalia Ellingsworth. She had light skin, brown hair and was white beautiful. She wore a casual orange shirt with a light black skirt.
Natalia bowed to express her gratitude "I can't thank you enough. Our people always had to travel around the forest because of those bandits. Thanks to you we can now travel faster without worrying about being attacked"
Yuri waved her hands in front of her "Oh no it was nothing. Were just glad to help"
Julie walked forward and handed her the package which Natalia gladly offered.
Natalia then pointed her hands towards her village "Please stay and rest for as long as you want. It's the least we can do"
Team SKYJ looked at each other. Saturn shrugged "I guess it can't hurt"
So the team stayed.
They hanged out and talked with the people of the village. They were all friendly and grateful.
Apparently they to were preparing and excited for the Vytal Festival.
Kanade and Julie played with the children. Although Julie and Kanade had no idea what to do or how to entertain them but the kids seemed to like their company anyways.
TK performed a dance routine for the people. They thought his dancing was really impressive and clapped when her finished.
Saturn talked with a girl who wouldn't leave her alone.
The girl pointed at Saturn's wand "What's that?"
"My weapon. It's a-"
The girl pointed at the black collar that Saturn wore around her neck "What's that?"
"This? oh this is just-"
"Why do you have two different eye colours?"
"It's complicated-"
"What's that?"
Saturn sighed as she was bombarded with questions.
Afterwards, the team stayed longer then expected but enjoyed their time there. At night everyone gathered together and they had a feast. Not wanting to be rude, Team SKYJ ate with them.
"Wow! This is amazing!" Yuri said taking another bite out of the food "What did you put in it?"
"It's a Secret ingredient" Natalia replied smiling
That made Yuri curious but she knew it was none of her business. But something else caught her curiosity "I don't want to be rude but what was in that package?"
"The package contained the secret ingredients" Natalia answered. "Unfortunately only the Ellingsworth family is allowed to know what it is"
Yuri certainly did not expect that. Saturn, Kanade, Julie and TK tuned into the conversation to listen.
"So I guess you're an Ellingsworth" Yuri stated
"Well, not exactly" Natalia replied "My father actually wasn't part of the Ellingsworth family at first but my stepmother is"
"How did that happen?" Saturn asked
"That's a long story" Natalia said
"Tell us. We have all night after all" Yuri encourage
"Well okay then" Natalia said "I'll tell you the story. The story about my father"
The Story About The Traveller
Once upon a time there was man who loved to travel, he was a curious man who always wondered about what was out there beyond his home territory. The young traveller's wife had passed away, so all the traveller had for familly was his daughter.
Together, The traveller and his daughter travelled from place to place seeking adventure. The daughter who was still very young followed her father whoever he went. They explored towns, tried different types of food and clothing. They camped out in the open, sometimes the two of them would just lay on the grass and watch the stars. Of course, they always made sure to stay out of danger.
One time, they stumbled across a forest. The forest was filled with animals and birds that made the forest so lively. Just walking along the path gave them a sense of peacefulness.
Eventually they reached the other of the forest and stumbled across a village.
The people of the village welcomed the two travellers with kind open arms.
The traveller's daughter played with the children of the village. She wasn't used to hanging out with other children so she really didn't know what to do, but they seemed to enjoy her company anyways.
