Chapter 13
Somewhere on the island, some people argued inside the abandoned ruins, the place was wrapped in vines and there were broken gargoyles, in the middle of the place, there was a stone platform where Konoka was unconscious on top.
"How much longer will we have to wait?" somebody asked.
"Don't be so impatient, Takeshiro."
"Are you sure you told her last night, Akuro?" Takeshiro asked, looking at him.
"Do you doubt me? Of course I told her about this island and all!"
"We have to be patient as long as we have this girl, they'll come."
"Hoshi is right, you should not be so impatient."
"What a waste of time." Akuro breathed.
/Grace of Destiny/
"We've finally arrived." Asuna said as Setsuna left her on the ground.
"We took longer than I thought..." Negi said as Leona came down from his staff.
"Don't worry, the important thing is we were able to get here." Asuna added.
"Where will Ojou-sama be?" Setsuna said, looking at the island, she couldn't see anything since the place was surrounded by trees.
"She must be somewhere on this island, maybe they're waiting for us to go." Leona respond, looking at the forest, "Let's go see." the others nodded and entered the immense forest.
/Grace of Destiny/
"I think they've arrived." Hoshi said, he had short blue hair and his eyes were dark blue.
"Really?" Akuro said rising from the ground, he had short, spiky green hair with red streaks and his eyes were dark green. "Can you locate them?" Akuro said, looking at him, raising an eyebrow, Hoshi nodded, closed his eyes and began to cast a spell, when it ended, before them appeared as a sort of transparent screen in which Negi and the others appeared walking through the forest.
"Apparently they are here." Hoshi replied looking at the screen.
"Well, then we can start!" Takeshiro exclaimed, his hair was short and red, and his eyes were black.
"We should decide who we are up against."
"You're right, Suichiro." Hoshi said, looking at him, Suichiro had short, pointy black hair and dark grey eyes.
"I'll fight that vampire, I want to see if it's as strong as they say." Akuro smiled funny.
"And why do you have to choose your first?" Takeshiro asked, looking at him seriously.
"Because I'm the strongest of us." Akuro shrugged his shoulders.
"Pardon?!" Takeshiro yelled with an angry vein throbbing in his temple.
"Do you want us to confirm it?"
"You two, stop arguing, this is not the time for your discussions." Hoshi sighed.
"And do you know which one of them is the vampire you say?" Takeshiro asked curious, crossing his arms.
"No, besides, none of them appear to be the vampire..."
"So how are you going to face if you don't even know what it looks like?" Takeshiro asked, shaking his head with his arms folded.
"Tsk, it doesn't matter, so I will fight who we have to capture and the other red-haired brat, I think they're disciples of that vampire or something."
"Are you sure you want to fight them both at the same time?"
"Don't worry Satoru, they won't be a problem."
"I've never met anyone with such arrogance as yours." Takeshiro said with his hands behind his head.
"Akuro, never underestimate who you're up against, you'd better go with Takeshiro."
"And why?"
"Do you know what could happen to us if we fail? This isn't like other missions." Hoshi said seriously.
"It's okay." Akuro sighed.
"Who are you going to choose, Satoru?" Hoshi asked, looking at him.
"The one with the sword." Satoru replied, he had short, brown hair and black eyes.
"I knew you'd say that." Hoshi smiled slightly. "Well, then, Suichiro and I will fight with the only one left, Satoru, you will stay here with this girl and wait until the enemy arrives."
"It's okay."
"And how do you plan to separate them?" Akuro asked, with his arms folded, looking at the screen.
"Teleportation." Hoshi smiled.
"Oh, then we can start." Akuro smiled arrogantly.
"We've been walking for a long time and we haven't found anything!" Asuna exclaimed with an annoying tone of voice.
"I don't think they are too far away." Negi said, suddenly, a magical circle appeared beneath each of them.
"What is this?!" Asuna exclaimed, then before they could say anything else, they disappeared.
/Grace of Destiny/
"What has happened?" Negi asked himself looking around.
"Negi! Are you ok?" Leona asked, going to him.
"Yes, but what about the others?"
"Don't worry, they are fine, for now." Akuro said, Leona and Negi turned around and saw Akuro and Takeshiro standing on top of one of the trees.
"You!" Leona shouted.
"Where are Asuna and Setsuna!" Negi yelled looking at them seriously.
"Ah, they are with other companions of ours, we teleport you, we could have done it differently, but we liked this one the most." Takeshiro said jumping out of the tree and standing in front of them. "I'm Takeshiro, nice to meet you." Takeshiro said, pointing at himself with his thumb.
"Ah, I'm Leona and this is Negi." Leona said pointing with her thumb to her right.
"Nice to meet you." Negi greeted.
"Aren't you too young for this?" Takeshiro asked, with a tone of curiosity.
"¡Takeshiro!" Akuro yelled with an expression of anger, jumping out of the tree. "What are you doing? We didn't come here to talk to them! Come on! Set them a table and invite them to tea while you're at it!"
"Yea, yea, no need to get so hysterical." Takeshiro sighed. "I'm sorry, but we are going to have to kill you, well, except you, since Airon wants you alive," Takeshiro said, looking at Leona. "But that doesn't mean we can't leave you with serious injuries." Takeshiro smiled malevolently.
"Tsk." Leona said putting herself in attack position as Negi. "It's not going to be that easy for you."
"No? I remember hitting you the other day." Akuro smiled mocking.
"That was because you caught me off guard!"
/Grace of Destiny/
"Where will they be?" Setsuna asked herself as she walked. "They must have separated us I hope nothing happened to them." Setsuna thought, while she was lost in her thoughts, then, she came to some abandoned ruins. "Maybe Ojou-sama is there."
"You are right, she is in there." Satoru said, sitting on one of the rocks around the ruins.
"My name is Satoru, nice to meet you, I'm sorry, but if you want to save her, you are going to have to beat me.
"If you have done anything to Ojou-sama-"
"Don't worry," Satoru interrupted. "We didn't do anything to her, we just used her to get you here, she's just asleep."
"Why are you doing all this?" Setsuna asked with a serious look.
"It is true we were ordered to take the girl, but we thought we could make it more interesting this way." Satoru said, rising from the rock. "Personally, I don't like having to kidnap someone, oh well." Satoru sighed as he drew a sword that was tied around his waist. "Do you know how to use the sword, right? Let's see what you are capable of."
"All right, I won't forgive those who want to hurt Ojou-sama or anyone in the class." Setsuna said, looking at him seriously as she also drew her Yuunagi.
/Grace of Destiny/
"Negi! Setsuna! Leona! "Asuna shouted across the shore of the island beach.
"I have separated you." Hoshi said, Asuna turned around and saw Hoshi with Suichiro.
"We are Akuro's companions." Suchiro added with his hands in his pockets.
"Return us to Konoka." Asuna ordered with a serious look.
"That will happen if you beat us." Hoshi replied, Asuna drew her pactio card.
"Adeat!" Asuna shouted, then a large sword appeared in her hands.
"Do you think you can take on the two of us?" Hoshi asked, raising an eyebrow. "Well, you don't lack courage, so, Suichiro will face you first, if you beat him, then I'll be next, so, what do you think?"
"I don't care how you do it."
"Then, Suichiro will be the first." Hoshi said as he stepped aside and sat on a rock at the edge of the beach, near where they were, crossing his arms.
"Okay, let's get started." Suichiro said as he stepped forward, crossing his fingers in front of himself."
