An Unexpected Meeting
Location – El-Paso, Texas
Jonah had been walking for quite some time now, blending in with the crowd he looked less noticeable. Even though the person he's tailing is very dangerous in theory. Long had he waited this moment, to catch the one person who has given him much trouble.
'I wonder where he's going' asked Jonah to himself
He saw his prey slip into an alley, he waited for a minute before entering the alley himself. He walked onwards even though seeing nobody around, he cautiously looked to his surroundings for any clues. Then he hit a dead-end, he frantically searched for an exit anywhere.
'You won't find one, buddy' echoed a voice
He turned around and to no surprise there he was, his prey, he had been tricked into revealing himself.
'I thought you never knew someone was following you' replied Jonah
'I knew someone was trailing me, I just didn't know whom' replied the figure
A cold shiver ran down his spine, with no way out he was doomed.
'You don't want to mess with me, I can beat the hell out of you' threatened Jonah
'Jonah...Don't kid yourself, you know by far I am a 1st level and you are a 4th level' replied the voice
'I'm not scared of you, I can take you on, Judas!' replied Jonah
'I don't want to fight you, Jonah, I just want you to send me a message to Merlin' said Judas
'Feel the wrath of the Kiera Hunter!!!' shouted Jonah without hearing any reasoning
Behind Jonah a mist of grey cloud appeared, then the grey mist began to take the form of an archer but twice the size of Jonah. The eidolon held a silver bow in one hand, and his clothes were all in green. The eidolon magically plucked an arrow out of the air and was preparing to launch its first attack on Judas.
Judas still remained calm 'Childish play...' he muttered
The eidolon pulled back the tight string and let go the arrow. The arrow flew at an incredible speed, it would have been impossible for anyone to get out of its way. But yet Judas did not even blink when the arrow just barely missed his head as he side stepped.
Jonah was shocked, 'But at this distance, to evade such an attack...' Worry filled Jonah's heart, doubt clouded his judgment, and fear of losing swarmed all over him.
Judas smiled as he knew that Jonah would be struck down by that blow to his consciousness. But Jonah was not going to give up now, he ordered his eidolon to resume attacking. The eidolon plucked three more arrows from the air and prepared to shoot all three at once.
With Jonah's command, the eidolon released the tightened string and let loose not one but three arrows. Judas smiled at his attempt, but was still calm although facing a more powerful attack than the previous one. He held his hand up shoulder height, just before the arrows would even strike him, the arrows stopped in mid-air and dropped to the ground a second later.
Jonah's hope of beating Judas was lost at this point, still he tried to think of an attack that could pass through Judas's defense.
'I haven't even called out my eidolon, Jonah it's useless of you to resist anymore' said Judas
'I shall not give up as long as I have my power, I will catch you today!' Jonah shouted with courage.
His eidolon plucked out an arrow and put it in position, 'Let's see you take this one, Fire Arrow!' Jonah shouted. At that instance the arrow that was put onto the bow burst into flames and the eidolon released its energy unto Judas.
'You must be kidding...' Judas smiled to himself, he held his hand up and stopped the fire arrow in mid-air. But due to his arrogance and carelessness, Judas did not realize that the eidolon had released another arrow much faster than the fire arrow. He may have stopped the fire arrow but the second arrow nearly struck him had he not dodged it in the nick of time.
'Hah! Even the mighty Judas has his weak points' laughed Jonah, still his efforts were almost admirable even though facing a more powerful enemy like Judas.
Judas's facial expression then got serious, 'Fine if you didn't want to surrender the easy way, I'll have to force you to deliver my message'
Judas held his right arm up to his side, a grey mist seemed to have formed around his arm. 'I didn't want to do this, but you've forced me' said Judas
Jonah was taken aback by Judas's seriousness, he knew if Judas wanted to kill him he had the power to do so. But he would not just stand there and let Judas take his life, he summoned his eidolon to create a shield around him.
'No shield can protect you from my attack Jonah' shouted Judas
Then without warning Judas punched his right hand towards Jonah, and immediately the grey mist formed a larger hand, almost connecting with Judas's hand. The larger hand flew straight to Jonah, even though he had a shield, it was useless. The instance the fist hit the shield, it broke into pieces and Jonah's eidolon disappeared.
Jonah hit the wall with extreme force and fell straight into a dumpster. Judas calmed himself down and walked slowly to the dumpster. He looked inside and sees Jonah seriously hurt.
'Go...on...finish me...off' coughing blood as he spoke the words
'I am not that cruel to end you in this fashion Jonah, send this message to Merlin, You can try to stop me but you won't succeed, in the end it is I who shall find he first' replied Judas
After hearing that, Jonah fell unconscious, Judas smiled and walked away like as if nothing had happened.
