Hey guys! Welcome back to another chapter! I think I am going to add some characters to this, the towns people will come into this at some point, but I will be mostly focusing on the main/side characters.
Raguna: So what's going to happen at the plaza?
Nah ah ah, Raguna *Shakes finger* no spoilers!
Ivan: CWB she doesn't own Rune Factory or anything else that isn't the plot or the OC's of the fanfic.
Sophie: Anywho:
"Speaking"
/thoughts/
((telepathy)) ((telepathy))
Let's get this chapter started! *Everyone blows on the party thingy*(You know that thing that is really annoying because of the noise they make and you just use it so you can annoy every adult around you? I forgot the name of those things)
Ok everyone be quiet! These things are super duper annoying!
Chapter 5: The Attack
Last chapter: "At a house next to Mist's farm." Ivan said, also getting tired of saying the same thing. They kept on talking with the two and then left to introduce themselves to everyone else. When they finished doing that, they decided to go at the plaza, but Raguna soon realized that going to the plaza was probably a bad idea.
When Ivan and Raguna got to the stone-paved, colorful, and surrounded by trees plaza, they sat down on a wooden bench and talked for a bit.
*roar* Raguna and Ivan jumped up from the bench and looked to where the noise had come from. They saw some sort of dragon, standing on two legs. They guessed it was some sort of cross between an orc and a dragon; a hybrid.
Ivan got a sword out from his pocket, or wherever you get things from in this world, and looked over at Raguna.
++++(Same Scene: Ivan POV)
I looked back at Raguna to tell him to let me handle the fighting, since I am the one with the weapon here, but what I see shocks me. Raguna seems to be paralyzed; he steps away from the monster in the equivalent of fear, but stays frozen on that spot. I look at his eyes and felt my breath get caught in my throat. What I saw was fear, no no, fear wasn't the word to describe it, Raguna was terrified of the monster. I can tell it's not because of the monster itself, because when I follow Raguna's line of sight, I notice he's staring at the symbol of the monster's clothes.
The symbol was some sort of brown and white eagle, with a white lab coat, eating a wooly with cat ears, that was surrounded by snakes. The symbol made no sense to me but judging by Raguna's reaction, he knows what this symbol means. I turn my attention on the monster, fully intending to rip it to shreds. Nothing that terrorizes Raguna that much can be a good, it must be connected to what has happened to him in the last four years.
I steady my sword and charge towards the monster. I slash its side and the stomach and it lets out an ear-splitting screech. Then it charges at me and I dodge the monster but I still got slashed on my right lower-arm. I hiss at the stinging pain that feels as if I had been stung by multiple bees, each a second apart. Even though it hurts to use that arm, I steady my sword once again and see the monster making its way towards a terrified Raguna.
"Raguna!" I yelled out to him. Raguna seemed to snap out of it when I called out and he dodged the monsters knife and kneed it so hard on the stomach that the monster was sent flying and it landed on its back, a few feet away from me, with a screechy groan. I took that change to run up to it and stab it with my sword, right in the gut. Then the monster transformed into particles, formed a ball of yellow light, and flew back to the forest it came from.
Raguna still looks terrified but he seems to have calmed down a bit. Raguna slowly descends and sits on the ground, hugging his knees to his chest. I'm suddenly reminded of how Raguna acted after those kids beat him up. I put away my sword and slowly walk up to him and put my hand on his shoulder.
++++(Same Scene: Raguna POV)
"Raguna, are you hurt?" I hear Ivan question.
/Funny, he didn't ask if I was fine, why is it that everybody asks that when the answer is obvious?/
"N-no I'm fine, just a bit shaken up." If Ivan hadn't been here I would've been a goner. I notice that I start to shake a bit and try to control my reactions but I can't seem to do it. I just subconsciously trust Ivan, and I want to know why I do. Where do I know him from? Who is he? What is he to me? A friend, best friend, family? I suddenly feel Ivan lift me and sit me on the bench where we were sitting just before this mess started. Ivan sits down next to me and starts…petting(?) my head. Why? Although I won't lie, the repeated motion is calming, my body leans into the touch without me wanting to. Rang, reactions, and yes, I just replaced it with an R. I made a promise to not swear or say bad words for the rest of my life. Also, how does Ivan know how to calm me down? Only three other people have done this for me and that's because they figured out how to do it. Ivan just started doing it. Maybe we were close as kids? Best friends and possible family member are still open options.
Before I knew it, I had calmed down completely. That's probably the fastest that I have ever calmed down.
"Raguna…Are you okay now?" Ivan asked softly, watching the intensity and tone of his voice in case I got scared again. Somehow that knowledge makes me feel happy but I can't let myself trust him, no matter how much I really want to, I can't allow myself to trust him. The last four years have taught me not to trust easily.
"Yeah, I'm fine…thanks for helping me." Ivan looks confused as to why I'm thanking him but then his lips form a small smile. He must've understood what I was thanking him for.
"No problem Raguna. Glad I could help." His smile gets bigger and he ruffles my brown hair.
"hey!" I yell while we both laugh. I fix my hair and we both get up from the bench. I had a couple bandages in my pocket so I took them out and bandaged Ivan's arm. He seemed surprise to see me do that but let me do it either way, and I was glad he let me help.
*Falling sound* A sound that's similar to how a military plane would sound when falling reaches our ears and we look up to see, two people falling from a portal.
++++(Same Scene: Normal POV)
CRASH! The two people landed right in front of Raguna and Ivan. Both of the strangers groan and one looks up at Raguna and Ivan, focusing on Raguna after a while. The stranger looking at Raguna has blonde hair and light blue eyes, with some freckles. The stranger is also wearing really peculiar clothing, mostly made of cotton and…is that, a vegetable!?
The other stranger, which landed on top of the blonde one, has flaming red hair and crimson pink eyes. His clothing style is really similar to that of Kardia's. (AN: Look at Raguna's pic, the red haired guy is wearing something similar to it) He also decided to focus on Raguna and pay no mind to Ivan.
That is when Raguna noticed who they were. /No way! They can't be! I thought they were in the other towns./
"Konbanwa, Raguna!" The two strangers said, and that erased all doubt from Raguna's mind, while leaving Ivan a bit lost since he didn't know what Konbanwa meant, but one look at Raguna, Ivan could tell that Raguna did know. Raguna was shocked but it's a good kind of shock, unlike the shock Raguna had from the monster. The only way Ivan could tell it wasn't the bad kind of shock was because Raguna's eyes expressed joy and happiness.
"Konbanwa, you two. Ivan meet…" Raguna replied, and started to introduce them.
*Laughs* I know you guys LOVE when I end the chapters like that. Don't try to deny it.
Sophie: *sigh* Why haven't you uploaded in so long?
Life happens, and I have been playing other games, plus I've been reading Fanfics from other fandoms like Yugioh and Vanguard.
Raguna: Please Review
Ivan: Favorite
Sophie: And Follow
All of us: You can still Review if you aren't part of ! Have a great day and enjoy the cliffie!
Can anyone guess who these two are?
Also cookies to anyone that knows the meaning of konbanwa. It means Good Evening in Japanese. How was the bonding with Raguna and Ivan? I was a bit stumped with this chapter but I think it turned out fine. I completely changed the orginal title of the chapter since by then end of it "The Attack" made a lot more sense. *laughs*
Did you guys like the chapter?
