Chapter 5
Parker wiped the sweat that had formed on his forehead. Him and Jerry had been traveling for hours. So far he hadn't seen any sign of his troops but he couldn't give up. Jerry seemed to be quiet which Parker liked but he didn't know if he should trust him or not. Sure Jerry had helped him but he seemed kind of mysterious. But then again Parker wasn't being to open either.
"Hey is that a building?" asked Jerry. Parker looked ahead and saw the form of what appeared some sort of building but he was too far away to tell. "Lets keep walking we'll see whats up there, but be on your guard we don't know whats up there." Parker ordered.
Kyle looked around at where they had ended up. They were in a small building but the place had a lot of guards. After the guy, Steve he thought, was restrained they were taken to where he would usually get his beatings. They were getting ready to meet there punishment when a Daemon ran up to the Head Guard. The Daemon told the Head Guard that they had found another one. He had no idea what they were talking about but it probably wasn't good. The Head Guard then decided he had to be somewhere and he didn't want to leave us so he took us with him. They had been walking for hours and they were somewhere in the desert. The girl, Kari had been very vocal about her opinions but after a few looks from him and Steve she quickly shut up.
Kyle wanted to sit down so bad but they were being held in a room full of nothing that was cement and had mildew everywhere. Connected to the room they were in appeared to be a small office like room that the Head Guard was in ever since they got there. Kyle looked at the others.
Kari looked bored and Steve looked worried. Kyle knew that his last chance was up and he would take these two with him it really sucked. But all he could do for now is wait.
Jerry saw that as they got closer that it was a building that they had seen earlier. He would have been happy that he might get the chance to rest but the building was way too evil looking.
"Be on your guard this place doesn't feel right." said Parker.
Jerry would've replied but suddenly there was a scream.
"What was that?"asked Jerry "I don't know but we should check it out" replied Parker. Together they cautiously walked up to the building and peered into the dirty window. Inside there were three people, two guys and one girl and they were being held by a group of Daemons. There seemed to be a lead Daemon holding some box with some shiney objects that he couldn't make out. It appeared that the girl had just been hit with a whip by the leader.
"We have to help them" said Jerry.
"I know" sighed Parker "Lets go"
Kari sighed. She was bored and tired and on the verge of having a mental breakdown. Just as she was about to go crazy the door to the smaller room swung open and the Head Guard and some Daemons walked out.
The Head Guard carried a medium sized metal box. His disfigured face seemed to have a smile on it. She saw both Kyle and Steve looking on curiously. She also wanted to know what was going on.
"So you three pathetic humans are here because you defy the Daemons and act above us. Well I have something that will change what you think because the Daemons will be the most powerful having no use for you humans." laughed the Head Guard. He then opened the box and inside were 6 colored crystals. They were red, blue, white, black, yellow,
and purple. "Each of these crystals has undetermined strength, we will be the rulers of the universe." said the Head Guard.
"Ha those are just a bunch of colored rocks and even if they were powerful enough to give you a recognized name no one would bow down to you because we are better than you" said Kari then she spat at his feet. Just as fast a whip crashed down against her back and she couldn't stop herself from screaming. She looked up as he started to talk again.
"You will never stop us" roared the Head Guard. Just as he started to rant and rave again about how great he was 4 Daemons went down. Kali, Steve, and Kyle looked to see two men about there age.
"Get them" ordered the Head Guard. Quickly the Daemons went after the two. Kyle hit the Daemon holding him and started to fight with the two strangers. Steve quickly followed his lead and joined the fight. Kali punched the guard holding her and started fighting the guard closest to her. There were 15 Daemons all together and only 6 were left. Kali, Steven, Kyle, and the two strangers regrouped to face the 6 Daemons and Head Guard. The two strangers each picked up some fallen swords and launched at the Daemons. They swung at the Daemons and sliced them at the neck which turned them to ash.
Everyone, even the stangers, looked surprised to see that happen.
Kyle, Steve, and Kari then gave it a try and took out the last of the Daemons. All that was left was the Head Guard. "Quickly we have to get out of here they have reinforcements"
said one of the strangers at the window. It was true about 25 more Daemons were coming.
"Wait we need those crystals" said the other stranger. Soon a fight broke out with the Head Guard. In the comotion the box flew to the side of the room and breaks sending the crystals throughout the room. Quickly Kyle, Steve, Kari, and the two strangers each grabbed the crystal closest two them and Steve grabbed the extra one by his foot.
The door was broken down and the five young adults ran for the door.
"Run straight ahead as fast as you can" shouted the blond stranger. Suddenly the building exploded taking out all of the Daemons.
"Woah what did you do" asked the dark haired stranger.
"I used some extra explosions I had to destroy the place" replied the blond one.
"Hey who are you guys?" asked Kyle.
"Sorry I'm Jerry and this is Parker. He rescued me from a slave camp and we are looking for his troops." said the dark haired one.
"I'm Kyle and this is Steve and Kari. We all went to the same slave camp and were about to be killed thanks for rescuing us"
"What are these crystals?" asked Steve "No idea but I think that there is a place a little ways from here that might have some answers" replied Parker.
"Well I don't want to stick around here" said Kari and the others all agreed.
"Lets go then" said Jerry. And the five started their long journy through the desert.
