Liz finishes her preparations on a new hideout to house and train the legendary seven; however, tensions rise went she brings Roy in on the secret. Now a big and angry War is about to fling Roy around like a sack of flour.
Ep. 6 Evolution part 2 –
I had little strength to defend Roy with, but I did have a quick wit. I change quickly stabbing at War's back. My tiny weapon barely made a dent in his thick skin and he swings around knocking me into a wall before I can hold up my shield. As he barrels toward me, I quickly think on how the iron boots would help me in this situation. Somehow I summon them and grab onto War's shoulder guards, throwing him to the ground. He quickly regains himself as Roy watches in disbelief.
"I'm cool, I'm fine," Sebastian huffs once he's in control.
"Never thought I'd see the day Link takes on War," Roy mumbles, "and wins..."
"Heh, she was lucky she has all that gear figured out already," Sebastian smirks seeming to see our little fight as a start to a contest, "I'll smash you next time."
I huff out of breath and give him a look as if to say 'don't get cocky.' Sebastian only rotates his shoulders adjusting his armor.
He grunts looking at Roy, "Humph, so I guess you know everything already..."
Roy shrugs, "Only what Liz has told me. She thought I could help with this riddle thing, but to be honest I am kind of stumped myself..."
They both look at me as I struggle to catch my breath. I really did need to train, because what if there were monsters bigger than War? I change back easily and Sebastian hides his jealousy knowing though I mastered control faster than he, he could still punch me into the wall again if he wanted to. I set up a few of the dummies that toppled over.
"I'll tell you one thing," I huff still catching my breath, "I'll need to find some way to train you...War's too strong and I want these dummies to last..."
Roy nods, "So this seven...you think there's seven characters in all like you and Sebastian?"
"Yeah," I sigh, "but we don't know who or what characters. So far it's just us two, and if it's going to get as bad as that guy says..."
Sebastian snorts, "So we've had a few encounters with puny monsters..."
He manages to return to normal as Roy looks around at the old wires that had been left behind. I could see the gears in his head turning deep in thought.
"What this place needs is some technology," he exclaims, "My dad has tons of old cameras and stuff in our basement that I could use."
I nod, "Good idea...but how would we power it all without people getting suspicious?"
Roy shrugs, "I'll find a way once I rig everything up. When I am done, we will have security cameras, an inventing station to build things, and maybe even a pool."
Sabastian gives Roy a serious look and Roy nervously laughs, "I was joking about the pool..."
Suddenly, in the distance there is a loud explosion and my hair stands on the back of my neck. I feel something is very wrong and rush out of the hideout with everyone else. A dark shape flies over the city nearby and it's bigger than a bird. I start to run across the field to get a better look and Roy adjusts his glasses.
"That's the twilight dragon..." Roy breathes, "How is it here..."
Sabastian grins eager for a fight, "I don't know, but it's going down."
I rub my head knowing it's not going to be as easy as fighting a few heartless. We couldn't waste any more time as I change my form quickly running as fast as I could. Unfortunately, I could only run for so long and tired myself out by the time I reached the city. Sebastian catches up to me as War and he looks like he barely broke into a sweat. Roy stands behind us for protection staring up at the large armored dragon. I catch my breath studying the beast before us.
"Not sure I could conjure up the items needed to beat this thing," I think, "Plus there's nothing really for the hook-shot to grab onto..."
Sebastian cracks his knuckles seeming over eager and charges throwing a brick he found. It bounces harmlessly against the dragons head. It roars charging and swooping down. I shield Roy as it narrowly misses.
I yell out but the dragon is louder. As it takes its time to circle around, I lead Roy to cover underneath the rim of a building. People start to pull out iPhone and cameras whispering curses and comments of awe. I rush back out trying to spot the dragon in the darkening clouds and it starts to rain. I spy Sebastian trying to climb up a skyscraper leaping from window to window. I decide to remain on the ground in case the dragon comes after any of the people trying to get pictures of it. As the dragon dives, Sebastian attempts to slice off its head. It proves far too nimble swatting him away with a wing.
Roy huffs, "how could he miss? I mean, he has a huge sword."
The dragon breaths fire torching a few unfortunate bystanders. Sebastian starts his climb again muttering curses under his breath. The dragon hovers watching him climb seeming almost amused. Sebastian throws me a look and I show him my hand balling it up into a fist. He nods in understanding. I stick my pinkies into the corners of my mouth letting loose a high-pitched whistle. As the dragon turns towards me, Sebastian leaps from his perch once more, slamming his fist into the dragon's side. Armor falls off in big chunks as the dragon collapses to the ground. Before I have the chance to stab the shiny gem on its back, it flies back up the rest of the armor falling off. It charges at us and we both dodge, Sebastian accidentally crashing through a window.
"Oops..." he huffs brushing glass off him, "Okay...now what..."
Almost everyone except me and Sebastian had retreated indoors to escape the dragons raging fire breath. I look up at the sky, then back at him, and then back up at the sky. I breathe a deep sigh adjusting my chain mail. It was time to finish the dragon off.
