Chapter 5: Ray's trouble.
Not long later, three of them reach Indigo City. It was a long tiring journey but at least they made it. They take a short rest and went to find Felina. It was pretty hard to find her because she is always wandering around the whole City.
They search the shopping street, the main square and even her house but they failed to find Felina. Felina is a very busy woman. She is not usually seen by anyone. What is she doing? No one knows. But rumors said she works as a trader.
"AH we have been searching for three hours!" Keira signed tiredly.
"Well, you said she is a trader maybe she went trading," said Ray.
"But, but, but… I told her I would be arriving. She normally greet me," reply Keira
"Who is she to you? You are not an important person," Kai said.
"She is my cousin. She always wanted to see me" Keira replied again.
"Let's continue. Sitting here won't help. So Let's spilt up!" Ray suggests.
They all agreed and spilt up. Kai went to the outskirt of the City; Keira went to the trading area while Ray just wanders around. No matter what they do, they still failed to find Felina.
After a while, Ray give up and wanted to find Kai. He turned back and walked towards the outskirt. Then, a few soldiers surround him again. But this time, General Koga is around which makes an awkward situation for Ray.
Even do what is the situation; Ray was he never let his guard down. He gets ready his Lightning staff and get ready for a fierce battle. He knows he is outnumbered but he still not afraid to go for it.
"You must be ray. The one who defeated my unit. Where's your friend, Kai?" asked Koga.
"Hmpf… I don't need Kai to defeat a guy like you" said Ray still in his ready-to-fight position.
"You are brave for a kid. ATTACK" shouted Koga.
His soldiers begin to attack ray from both side of the road. It was dangerous but ray just stand there. When they are about ten meters away from Ray. Ray jumped high. The soldiers couldn't stop dashing towards Ray and end up knocking each other's head. When Ray landed down, he just fights with three soldiers. It is better because before the jump, he must fight with 20.
After defeating them, Ray stand in front of Koga, looking fearless. Koga just smiled wickedly and laughed. He seems happy that Ray defeated his units. Ray was totally confused but stay in his position.
"Hahahaah It was hard to find a good competitor. 20 Vs 1 and you won. Good strategy" said Koga smiling.
"Thanks but I don't want your compliment"
"Oh I rearing do that anyone so treasure it"
"Whatever. I don't care. Get ready to fight" said ray
"HAHAHAAHA okay here I come"
With his words, Koga dashes towards Ray and attacked him. Ray defends his attack. Koga's Attack was filled with strength. It was hard for Ray to keep up with him. It is obvious since Ray just started his fighting career. When Koga raise his hands up, Ray dough his attack and attack him on his rib. It hurts a lot but Koga managed to stand up.
"Good attack, I like you" said Koga.
"…"
"Would you like to join me? I will give you anything" said Koga.
"Even making me a spaceship?" asked Ray
"Yes"
"…"
"Felina isn't a women that can be trusted but you an trust me. Felina is just using you"
"Prove it"
"Felina is avoiding you. You can't find her but when she is in trouble-"
"She will pop out form nowhere. I know." Ray interrupts
"So what do you think?"
"I will think about it. For…Mina's sake"
"Yes Mina remembers her. She is still under my control"
"…I will contact you soon" said ray walking away.
Ray continues walking down the long road. He felt very confused. If he followed Koga he will betray his true friends, Keira and Kai. If he did not followed Koga, Mina maybe in danger. Ray liked Mina because she saved his life and he couldn't just leave her in a mad man's hand. He must do something.
"Sir, are you sure he will follow us?" asked a wounded soldier.
"Of course. He is quick thinking and I am sure he won't leave Mina in my hands" Koga replied.
"Why is he so concern about Princess Mina?"
"…Because Mina scarified herself to make sure her townspeople's are save"
"Huh?"
"She also helped ray a lot. He will not betrayed such a girl"
"Oh?"
Koga laughed wickedly. It is because if Ray join him, he will be much more stronger. With Ray and the rest of his commander in headquarter, he is sure to beat the Rinizias'.
