"Raypulse!" Several suits yelled, and I quickly jumped behind a stone pillar to avoid the attacks. Parts of stone flew through the air where the spells hit the pillar.
I knew I couldn't stay here forever, and I didn't want to either. I wasn't a coward. If I was going to perish, it would be fighting.
"Hyperstride." I whispered, and ran to the left, kicking down two suits."Touchram!" The suit I'd hit flew a few meters through the air, before crushing into the wall.
"Caliban, show them your strength!" In a blue flash the titan appeared,his sword ready for action.
The suits started to summon titans to. Caliban fought with all his power but even he couldn't handle such a force majeure. A redcap stabbed him down from behind, and in another blue flash he returned to his amulet.
It realized I was going to lose, but still fired another spell to a suit. But he evaded the attack using Shadowspeed, and hit me with Raypulse. I crushed into a stone pillar, and ducked just in time to evade another spell.
"Is that all you got?" Defoe said, with a vicious smile on his face. The coward was just standing behind his suits, letting them do the dirty work.
Suddenly a wave of glass came over me. All the windows and the glass roof had broken by an invisible force. I looked around and to think up an explanation for all this… An earthquake or something? But then, out of nowhere,a woman jumped in front of me. She had half- long blue hair, and was wearing a tight black outfit. I was surprised, andbefore I could say a word, she grabbed me, and pointed apistol skywards. When she shot some kind of rope with a grapple came out, which it secured itself to the metal frame of the roof.
"Better luck next time Defoe." She said.
Defoe's stunned face at that moment was priceless. I smiled, and before I realized what happened, we shot up, towards the roof of the factory.
"Stop them you idiots!" Defoe yelled.
Spells flew us to ears, when we climbed on the roof.
I looked at my mysterious rescuer. "Wow that was close, thanks, but who are-"
"We're not save yet." She said.
I looked down and saw what she meant. The suits had started do surround the factory.
"We can jump to the building next to the factory." I suggested.
She nodded."Hyperstride!" She ran over the small ridge, jumped to the next building, and landed graciously on the roof usingFeatherdrop. I did the same thing.
The suits realized what were doing, and quickly chased us. We ran for our lives, evading the spells they fired at us.
"This way!" She jumped down on the ground, and ran into a small alley, which lead to a shopping street. That was a good idea, because it was a very busy place. Even the organization couldn't erase that many memories, so they wouldn't use their powers there. But of course they would still chase us.
We immersed in the mess, but suddenly the blue- haired women stood still.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"We can't run for them forever, we have to find a way to move faster…. And I think I know how." She said with a smile. She ran on the road, and stood still right in the middle of the traffic. A guy on a motorcycle could barely stop before hitting her.
"Are you freaking crazy?" He yelled at her.
"Sorry baby, we have to borrow your motorcycle for a minute."
"What the- "
"Simplemind." She whispered, and the guy fainted.
She jumped on the motorcycle, and looked at me. "Are you coming?"
"But you can't just steal his-"
"Hey, I think we need it harder than him!"
I looked over my shoulderand saw the suits approach quickly. She had a point there, and I quickly jumped behind her, although it somehow made me feel a bit humiliated.
"Hold on!" She yelled, and accelerated.
Far above the speed limit, we shot through the traffic. I think we almost caused an accident at least a hundred times, and I highly doubted whether she had a drivers license. But at least we'd lost the suits.
Or not. I looked over my shoulder and saw we were being followed by three black cars. We had driven out of the city, and now drove over an empty road through the woods. I short; perfect for an attack.
"Augerfrost!" I yelled, and my spell crushed the windscreen of one of the cars. But the suits in the other cars started firing spells at us to, and the blue haired woman had a hard time trying to evade them.
Although we were driving I don't know how- hard, the cars were coming closer and closer every minute. I had to do something.
"I have a plan!" I yelled to the woman."Hyperstride!"
I jumped on top of one of the cars.
"Darkfog!"
The three cars were wrapped in thick black smoke, and were forced to stop.
The woman turned the motorcycle, and drove towards me. I jumped back, and we drove away from the suits.
"Good job Vale, I'm impressed!" She yelled to me.
"You're not doing a bad job either!" I yelled back.
We drove for another 30 minutes, and I just started to wonder where we were going to, when we reached a little expired city. After making sure we weren't being followed any more, she stopped in a narrow alley.
"Where are we? I mean… I'm very grateful you saved me, but I have to go back to my brothers, they're probably wondering where I am."
"Now then they must wait a little longer, I saved you remember? You owe me something, and I need your help… with something."
"What is it then?"
"You'll see, follow me."
She walked towards an old metal door, and opened it with a key. I followed her through a narrow concrete alley, until we reached a very fancy, but a bit empty, living room.
"Wait, is this your house?"
"Hmmm temporarily… Sit down, then I'll make you some tea."
I sat down on the brand new red couch. For some reason I felt a bit… uneasy. Suddenly I realized I didn't even know the name of this woman, while she did have known mine. And there were more things I didn't understand… How she'd known I was in trouble? And why'd she saved me, when we had never even met? Was she a foundation- agent to?
When she came in I decided to ask her these questions.
"Hey, I just realize… I don't even know your name, and yet, you saved me, why? Have we ever met before?"
She smiled and gave me a cup of tea.
"My name is Zhalia Moon, and we've never met before. I saved you because I need you for something."
I drank the tea, and put the cup down on the table.
"You work for the foundation to? I've never heard of you."
"No I don't work for the foundation."
Her words sounded vague and far away. I started to feel a bit dizzy… very dizzy….
"Are you okay?" She asked with a vague smile.
I tried to stand up, but I couldn't, it was like my body didn't worked any more. The whole room was turning, and my head felt heavy.
"Did... you put something in my tea?" I whispered.
"I'm sorry… but I'm afraid you have to stay here for a while…."
The rest of her words didn't get through me anymore. I fell aside, and slowly everything turned black…
XxXxXxXxXxXx
I heard a velvet voice in my head.
I'm sorry
stay here
for a while
I remembered everything; the factory, Defoe, the trap, the woman with blue hair, the motorcycle, the expired city…
Dante you're an idiot! You've fallen into a trap twice on one day! I thought to myself.
I felt stupid. Stupid and confused, because I couldn't understand why this woman had kidnapped me. I mean; first she saves me… then she imprisons me? That just didn't make any sense at all!
I wondered if she worked alone… or maybe for the organization?
But I rejected that idea immediately. I she was an organization agent, she would've let Defoe capture me.
Suddenly I heard the sound of footsteps coming of a stairway, and the door opened.
