"You can hear the Demons shouting and their weapons dashing. They have already advanced to the Residential Area 3."
The Residential Area was overrun with demons. The expedition party moves slowly thru the streets. Reckless Fist and Rune Slayer didn't speak, they hardly made any eye contact. Elsword was angry with Raven, but the mission had to go on.
A mob of demons was seen in the road ahead, elsword stepped up ready to command the party.
" First knights 1 thru 5 move into combat!, defense group 1 back them up!- now let's go!"
Elsword ran ahead for the rest of the knights. He threw runes at the first demons, they burst into flames, Rune Slayer jumped over the dying demons ablaze in fire. Elsword sensed something in the distance, a figure standing in the shadows. Elsword only got a glimpse of the figure before the battle was in full swing. The sounds of metal hitting metal, the yelling and cries.
An Arc Glitter Dasher came running at Elsword hammer raised, ready to attack, but Elsword was quick on his feet. He cut the arms of the glitter dasher with one strong swing of his sword, then he cut off the head causing blood to go everywhere.
The Knights had the upper hand but not for long. The demons keep coming and soon the party was worn out, but they had to keep pushing forward. In the third street they had their first injury, a knight was shot by a glitter sniper in the arm. The party fell back momentarily to tend to the knight's wound. They had all been fighting for a good half hour and were breathing heavily.
Elsword walked over to Raven
"Hey-" they both said at once, Rune Slayer looks away with embarrassment
"You go first" Raven stammers
" Um you're okay right? You didn't get hurt I mean?" Elsword says looking at the ground.
He felt a hand on his head, he looked up. Raven was smiling
" I'm just hurt inside that you didn't want me to come along" Raven laughed
" I'm sorry" Elsword mumbled he moved closer in to Raven. He wanted to kiss him to make everything right, but not here, they were still in battle after all.
The party was ready to go now. They set off but they hardly made it a block when they were ambushed, Elsword had been running ahead of the party, he was the commander. He was running around a corner when at least 15 glitter demons came crashing down from the roofs of the buildings. Elsword stumbled back
"Retreat!" he yelled but the demons have already engulfed the knights. Elsword hears screams of pain and sees 2 knights fall to the ground. Than in second 5 more knights fall, that's when elsword sees him. A jet black figure dressed in pitch black armor and holding a great dark sword covered in blood.
Elsword is filled with rage. He dashes into the mob cutting and hacking down all the demons in his way. How dare a knight kill other knight! Who the hell would do that?
The black knight is in front of him now with his back turned, Elsword raises his sword
I kill him before he knows what hit him! At the last second the knight turns around, but it's too late rune Slayer's sword break the armor on the right side of the black knight's ribcage. Elsword turns around for another attack but is met by the black knight's sword. The blade rips its way thru Elsword chest sending him flying back onto the cold stone street. Elsword tested salty blood in his mouth. White hot pain fills his body it feels like he can't breathe. He lays there gasping and coaching
The black knight slowly walks to where Elsword lays
He's gonna kill me! Rune slayer panics trying to get up, but the pain keeps him down. The black knight is standing above him now, he raises his sword and-
WHAM!
Reckless Fist throws a punch that sends the black knight crashing into a building, the knight slowly works his way out from under the rubble to look at his new enemy. When he lays eyes on Raven the knight starts to laugh uncontrollably. The knight's laughter echoes in the dead silence of the afternoon.
Raven runs to Elsword ignoring the black knight's insanity.
"Elsword!" he yells
Rune Slayer looks at Raven with half open eyes, the taste of blood fills his mouth now. He coughs, the blood runs down his cheek.
Raven slowly and carefully picks up Elsword. Than holding him tightly in his arms he turns and runs as fast as he can from the black knight. The knight doesn't try to chase after them, he just watches them go, but he yells out to raven as he turns a corner
" We'll meet again old friend!"
Raven freezes. He hasn't heard that voice in many years, but he knows it all too well. Raven doesn't look back but runs even faster away, fighting him would be pointless. If Raven went back to fight him he might really die this time.
