BREATH OF FIRE 3: UP IN SMOKE!
Chapter Thirteen: A More Sinister Turn of Events
Rei saw the café ahead of him, and he quickly spotted Momo and the princess sitting at one of the table. Rei didn't take long to notice the strange men in cloaks walking towards them.
Rei started up the steps to the entrance and stepped under the archway, but was then suddenly struck in the face by something.
He managed to prop himself up on his elbows and spit out some blood and looked up. He then managed to distinguish a figure hanging upside down- by one of his legs- from the arch over the entrance to the café. He was covered in black and was wearing a ninja-like mask over his face, a pair of red eyes looked down onto the fallen Worren with some interest. "You'd do well to stay on the ground, beast." He told him. "This is no place for children like you." He added.
***
Momo and Nina looked up as two men through back their cloaks and aimed strange guns at them.
But then, suddenly, a strange shadow passed over them and the barrels of their guns somehow exploded! The two men stepped back in horror.
Momo looked off to the left to see a strange warrior in black armor, with a shining sword, turn around and face them.
"Don't just stand there, take out your weapons!" He instructed the two women.
The two men looked at their broken weapons and began backing up.
Momo and Nina pulled out their respective weapons.
***
The masked stranger then landed on his feet and looked over his shoulder as another creature- like him, but with white eyes- ran up.
"Master, the gunmen have been attacked!" The lesser being informed the first on. "Some kind of knight in black armor has attacked them!" He added.
"Go with the others and deal with them while I take care of this runt." He instructed him.
The lesser creature nodded and ran off. The red-eyed one turned back around just in time to catch a knife that had been thrown at him- just centimeters from his face.
Rei gasped in horror as the creature held his knife in his hand. He then tossed it up and caught it by the handle and through it back down at Rei, the blade land right next to Rei's head.
"Bad kitty!" the stranger exclaimed. "You shouldn't have gone and done that, because now I'll gave to show you my angry face." He added as he reached behind his back and pulled a white mask from out of nowhere and place it over his face. The mask had two eye wholes and a mouth- which then curved in an angry expression.
Rei scooted up onto his feet and stood nervously before his attacker. "What the hell are you?" He asked uneasily.
"What I am is no concern of yours, but I will tell you WHO I am." He replied. "I am called 'Death Mask'." He added. "And it will be my greatest pleasure to kill you." He announced.
Rei stepped back. He didn't like this at all; this person was making the fur on the back of his neck bristle uncomfortably.
Rei gasped as Death Mask vanished and then, before he could react, he reappeared behind him and struck him across the back of the neck.
He fell to the ground and did not get back up.
***
The two gunmen ran in terror from their armed opponents. But then, several masked fighters appeared around Momo, Nina, and the mysterious warrior.
One of the masked men jumped towards the two women, but was knocked back when Ryu suddenly appeared in his way and kicked him.
"Sorry I'm late." He remarked as he drew his sword.
The rest of the fighters converged on the young man. Ryu stepped back to miss a punch from on of them. He then knocked it back with his weapon. Another one appeared behind him, but Ryu drove the handle of his sword its stomach and then slashed into the next one that came at him from the front.
"Bolt!" Ryu yelled as the remaining attackers were filled with electricity.
"Who are these guys?" Ryu asked as he turned to face the others.
"You should ask him." Nina replied as she pointed towards the armored warrior.
Just then, something rapped around Nina and pulled her up into the air.
Ryu and the others looked on in disbelief as a man with long red hair wearing a green robe held the princess in the air by vines that seemed to grow from his hands. He was standing on the roof of the café and looking down at them with one of his feet propped up on the edge.
"Give us the woman with the rabbit ears, or the princess will die." He instructed them as another vine rapped around her throat and began to slowly tighten.
"No!" Ryu exclaimed and he ran forward. "Let her go!" He screamed, his power seeming to build, as if by reflex.
But then, several large, thorny vines sprouted up from behind the red- haired attacker and lashed out against Ryu- Sending the young man back.
"That was just warning shot, my Grove Vines will kill you if you try that again!" He remarked. "You've all become far too overconfident by with Yakuza-like thugs, but we're the real thing." He remarked.
But then, a shining sword impaled the man's chest- causing him to drop the princess and stumble back. Ryu slid across the ground and caught Nina.
The man gasped and contorted before he stumbled forward and fell off of the roof. He landed on his side, the sword still embedded deeply into his torso.
Momo looked around for Rei and saw that he was laying on the ground, face down. She dropped her bazooka and ran over to him.
Ryu looked around as all of the attackers dematerialized before him. He then looked over to their unknown ally. "Who are you?" He asked, but he was gone when Ryu looked over towards him.
Nina looked up as handsome dragon appeared before her embraced her.
"I was worried." Ryu told her as he held her in his arms and looked into her eyes.
"I'm alright." She replied weekly with a blush.
***
Deathmask had seen the strange women coming and made himself blend into stone pillars of the archway and become invisible.
Momo ran up to Rei and rolled him over. "Rei?!" She exclaimed. She grew worried when he didn't move.
Deathmask began to reach for the women when he sensed a strange energy that he hadn't felt in a long time. He recoiled as Ryu and Nina ran over to check on Momo.
Ryu ran over to help his two friends, but for a moment he sensed something different, and he had to hold his hand up in front of his face to catch a projectile that had been launched at him.
"You truly do have great strength, Brood, but your time will come!" The man in black exclaimed and then vanished into thin air.
***
Harvest's eyes suddenly opened and he stood up. He looked at himself and saw that the sword had been removed. He watched as his body rapidly healed itself and the whole closed up.
"What power is this?" He thought, before vanishing.
***
Bernardo and another figure- concealed in a cloak- watched in dismay as their plan failed.
"Your people were supposed to act a failsafe if something went wrong- what the hell happened just now?!" Bernardo demanded.
"We would have had them, but forces beyond our control interfered." The cloaked figure replied. "Harvest and Deathmask were not yet prepared to handle fighting a Brood." He added. "Or that knight that intervened." He finished.
"Then we'll just have blow the café up!" Bernardo announced as he pulled out a radio. "I can still save this mission!" He added frantically.
But the cloaked figured grabbed him by the wrist. "Wait!" He exclaimed.
Bernardo was caught off guard by this. "What the hell are you doing?!" He exclaimed.
"If you fire a missile right now, while the dragon is in the café, then it will most likely result in triggering his dormant powers. which are stronger then even he can control." He concluded. "I will explain this to your boss, do not worry." He then added.
Bernardo stepped back and put the radio away. "Damnit!" He yelled. "Then it seems that we will have to use Francisco's plan." He added, flatly.
***
The three of them gathered around Rei and watched nervously.
Finally, the Worren's eyes opened and he looked around at them. He smiled weekly. "It looks like you've caught me laying down on the job." He remarked, trying to joke. He then lost consciousness again.
