Chapter 11: A True Hero

Doujima and Karasuma fired away at the witches. One of the orbs managed to hit the woman witch. Everyone kept trying to hit the leader witch. But, by doing that, they also had to dodge the electrical currents he sent towards them.

"What are we supposed to do?" Doujima cried out to Karasuma and Sakaki.

"Well," Karasuma just missed an electrical current, "Robin's down, Sakaki is closer to the witch than we are, I don't know really!"

Just then, an electrical current came crashing into Karasuma's side.

"Sakaki!" Doujima yelled desperately, "Karasuma got hit!"

Doujima saw Sakaki shake his head, and mouth word "Shit".

Doujima scrambled over to were Sakaki was, and began firing Orbo's at the two witches.

It was up to them to take them down.

Doujima narrowly missed a current.

They kept fired.

Sakaki got an orb into the leader witch, but that didn't stop him.

Doujima stepped out just a little to shoot at the woman witch, who was farther away and behind the leader witch.

All it took was for Doujima to blink, and she was down, the sparks were dancing on her coat, like a victory dance.

Sakaki looked around. Robin was on her back, Karasuma was leaning up against a wall, and Doujima was laying on her side.

He looked at the witches who were looking at the hunters too.

The leader witch laughed.

"Well well well, three down," He looked at the woman witch, "one more to go. Will you do the honors?"

The woman nodded, and stepped forward.

She was about to pitch something at Sakaki, when she erupted in flames.

When the fire died down, the witch was unconscious. Sakaki looked over at Robin, who was looking at him, but then fainted.

Sakaki knew this was his chance to get the leader witch, who had all of his attention focused on the woman witch.

Sakaki ran out from behind the wall, and shot at least five orbo's at the witch.

When the witch fell down next to his partner, Sakaki sent another orbo into his back, just to be sure.

Sakaki ran over to Doujima, who was conscious, but in a great deal of pain.

He then ran over to Karasuma, and she was unconscious, but ok.

He ran over to Robin, who was unconscious, and had a little wound on her arm. But, she was ok.

"Michael," Sakaki said in a shaky voice, "Send a factory van, and some people to drive a car back to the STN-J. Robin, Karasuma, and Doujima are all down and I'll take two of them back to the STN-J."

Michael didn't say anything for a moment, then started typing on his computer, and said, "They're on their way as we speak."

Sakaki Picked Doujima up, and brought her to the car he and Robin were using. He put her on the front seat.

"You ok?" Sakaki asked.

"At least I'm awake, but my side hurts like I got hit by a train!" Doujima grasped her side. No blood was coming out, but the shock of the current burned her.

Sakaki ran over and grabbed Robin. He put her in the back.

The factory van came up, and the workers got out. Mister Kosaka stepped out from the van. Sakaki was surprised to see his boss.

"Sakaki, who do you have right now?" Mister Kosaka's voice was gruff, but Sakaki answered quickly,

"Robin and Doujima."

"Ok, take me to Karasuma then." Mister Kosaka looked over at her car, and then to Sakaki.

Sakaki led his boss to Karasuma. He expected her to be in the same position as he had left her, but she was standing up, but leaning against the wall. She took a step forward, but winced as the pain from the current sprang up.

Mister Kosaka told Sakaki he could leave, then went over to help Karasuma.

Sakaki went back to the car, and drove him and his comrades back to the STN-J.

----At the STN-J----

Robin blinked her eyes open. Where was she? All she could remember was being hit by the electric current. She sat up and looked around. She was back at HQ.....but how?

She was startled when Sakaki said,

"Well, it's nice to see you awake."

Robin looked around, Doujima was sitting in a chair, drinking something, Karasuma was lying down, and Sakaki was standing right above her.

"Want something to drink?" Sakaki smiled at Robin.

"Yes, thank you." Robin said in a small voice.

Sakaki walked over to get some tea for Robin.

Robin stood up and walked over to where Doujima was.

"Doujima, are you ok?" Robin asked.

Doujima looked up and smiled, "Yeah, it just hurts a bit. Thankfully Sakaki didn't get hit, or we all would have been done for."

Robbin looked over, Sakaki was walking over to Robin. When he handed her the cup, Robin quietly said,

"Thank you for saving us. I'm sorry I got hit, I knew I should have helped you guys more than myself."

Sakaki raised an eyebrow, then said, "No, it's mainly my fault. I should have shot the witch while he was being distracted. Then, non of this would have happened."

Sakaki turned around and went over to Michael. They started talking, and Robin knew it was best not to push the subject.

Everybody left to go home early. One reason why was almost everyone was injured, and two, there weren't much witches to be hunted at the moment, so they could take their sweet time.

----At Robin's and Touko's Apartment----

"Robin! Hi! Umm, I guess by now, you know I know your little secrent?" Touko blushed. "Sorry, I didn't mean to see those papers. I just thought that they were something to put into the trash. I looked at them, and once I was done, I knew these did NOT belong in the trash.

"It's ok, accidents happen. You probably were going to find out sooner or later. I mean, by just looking at me in a month or so you could have figured it out." Robin smiled.

Touko blushed again, and then asked, "If you don't mind my asking, but Amon is the soon-to-be father.....right?"

Robbin nodded. She could tell Touko was a little hurt, so she changed the subject.

"What did you do today?"

"Well," Touko began,"I visited my father, and spent the rest of the day here, eating and watching TV."

Touko and Robin laughed. Touko was usually the one to be cleaning, but since Robin actually liked cleaning, she gave that up.

----The Next Day----

Robin walked into the STN-J office. Everything was normal. As usual.

Robin said good morning to everyone, and asked where Karasuma was.

"She called in saying she wouldn't be coming," Sakaki said, "I guess she is in a lot of pain because of that hunt, and we just told her to stay in bed and be lazy."

Robin smiled and nodded.

"That will do her some good." She said quietly. Then she turned to Michael.

"How many witches are we hunting today?"

Michael typed a little on his computer, then said, "One. I mean, we want to take it easy since Karasuma is gone, and Amon, and Doujima is injured. So one.

"When do you think we should go?" Sakaki asked.

Robin shrugged, and Michael said,

"Leave that to Robin, she will lead the hunt."

"Well," Robin thought a moment, "Maybe in like a few hours? We can practice in a few hours, and it would be easy."

Sakaki seemed to like the idea of practicing, but Doujima didn't.

"Oh, why do we have to practice?" Doujima whined.

Sakaki and Robin looked at her like she grew another head.

"Well, we DO want to become good hunters, right?" Sakaki asked.

Doujima nodded. She knew she couldn't argue. So the three of them left and went down to the training floor. There were candles, and torches set up for Robin, and all sorts or targets for Sakaki and Doujima.

"Hey Sakaki," Michaels voice was in the earphone. "Want some moving targets?"

"You betcha!" Sakaki took out his orbo gun. Targets that were on the walls or hanging from the ceiling started moving slowly.

"Once you hit all of them, I will make them go faster." Michael could see the disappointed look on Sakaki's face.

Robin put her glasses on. She concentrated, and without looking left or right, all the candles next to her lit up.

"Wow," Michael spoke into her ear phone, "Your powers have increased by seventy-five percent since we last checked."

Robin smiled, and lit some more things up.

Doujima lazily hit targets. Even the moving ones she didn't miss. Michael sped the moving targets up, and things got harder.

----After Practicing----

Every one was sitting in the conference room. Michael was giving out information on the witch they were to hunt. This witch had the power of water.

Everyone looked at Robin. Her eyes were wide, and she turned pale.

"Well, Robin, I guess you're just going to try and do what you do best." Sakaki snickered.

Doujima smacked him upside the head. Robin was reading all the info on this strange witch. She had never heard of a witch with a water-craft.

When everyone got into the car to leave, Robin was pale.

'Will I be able to help?' The question kept popping up in her head.

When they reached the location, They immediately saw the witch. She was tall, and had pure white hair.

"Well, let's go." Robin said in a shaky voice. She put ger glasses on. Sakaki and Doujima got out their guns. They all snuck behind a bush. Robin gave the order that when the witch passed, they would shoot her with orbo.

The witch was walking at a very slow rate. Sakaki was shifting around a little. Robin put her hand on his back to make him stop.

'Boys,' Robin thought, 'Boys like Sakaki are so impatient.'

The witch was about one yard away. Robin gave the orders, and they shot the witch with their orbo. Robin used her craft to make the witch stand still. A flame burst in front of the witch, and quickly got put out by the witch's craft. She looked at Robin. Suddenly, Robin felt water rising around her. It was cold, and she could see out of it like it was a window. She saw Sakaki get right next to the witch, and shoot her. Doujima was trying to help, but every few steps she clutched her wound. Then, Robin saw the witch fall to the ground. The water quickly disappeared. Robin was soaked. And cold. Her hair had fallen out of it's normal positin, and was draped around her shoulders.

Doujima walked up to Robin. Sakaki called Michael. Doujima could see that Robin was shivering.

"Let's hurry and get back to HQ before you freeze!" Doujima said. "I'll drive."

When they got back to the STN-J, Robin got some towels, and tried her best to dry off. Michael had a worried look in his face. He told Robin to go down to the practice room, and try to light something on fire.

Robin went down. She put her glasses on and looked at all the candles. Then, only half of the candles lit up.

"Don't tell me you meant to light up only that much." Michaels voice was in Robins ear. It was a worried, quick voice.

"I....I..."Robin stammered, "The candles....My....Power!"

"Come on back up." Michael said.

When Robin came up, Michael was typing furiously on his computer. Doujima and Sakaki looked worried.

"Well," Michael said, "The water you were surrounded in wasn't just regular water. I analyzed some of it off of a towel. Robin, this water took about twenty-five percent of your craft away. You are going to have to almost re-train yourself."

Robin sat down. She looked at her glasses. She knew she wouldn't have been any help on that hunt anyway.

"Robin, We should have done something. I think you need to take a few days off. You really need the rest." Doujima said, her voice was hushed.

Robin nodded her head, grabbed her coat, and said,

"Bye."

Bum Bum Buuummm! Well, yes, Robin's powers decreased by 25%.....what's Amon going to say about this? You'll find out soon! And you'll find out ABOUT Amon too, and why he actually left!! And YES, it has to do with Nagira.
