Chapter 6: The Past comes Back
As Three of the last knights let anger fill their hearts Alex steps in and tells them to remain calm, Walking to each one and placing a hand on their shoulder and looking at them waiting for them to nod in understanding. The last knight is Bastion who isn't letting go so easily.
"Bastion if you let anger consume you, then you're already dead, don't give in" Alex says still having his hand on Bastion's shoulder. Bastion Taking several deep breaths before closing his eyes and concentrating hard on his anger.
"Ok I'm fine now Alex, you were right I am sorry for stepping out of line" Bastion says placing his hand on Alexander's shoulder. Alexander just nods forgiving his comrade as the remaining 4 knights walk up towards Jojo and the group.
"Jojo listen to me, the high knight wasn't interested in your parents, he wanted Aaron to come back so that he could kill him" Alex says stepping up to the small grey and black who. Jojo just looks up at Alex and then turns his attention towards Aaron. Aaron with fear on his heart keeps his face emotionless. Jojo walking towards Aaron looking him dead in his dark green eyes.
"If this so called high knight wants you, then he will have to kill me to get to you" Jojo says with sincerity in his voice.
"And if the high knight wants you Jojo, he is going to have to go through us" Mike, Marcus, and Cody say in unison.
"If the high knight wants any of you guys, he is going to have to deal with our paws first" Mana says clipping his trademark choker to his neck as Koa puts his pacifier into his mouth.
"Thank you guys for your loyalty and friendship, I couldn't have asked for better friends" Aaron says looking down with his eyes closed.
A loud bellow could be heard coming from down the hall and it seems to be making its way towards the center of the hall where Jojo and the pack are at.
"Shit" Alex says him and the remaining three knights stand in front of the pack. Looking back at them with a look of fear on his face. "Jojo you guys stay back ok and let us handle this," minutes later a weird looking creature steps into the center hall and begins circling the pack and knights. The knights not letting their guard down stands in front waiting for the thing to strike.
"What is that thing?" Marcus asks looking at it in shock.
"It's the gupalagoop" Bastion says dropping into his stance.
"What IS IT?" Marcus asks again
"It's the high knight's pet" Aleu says sneaking around to the back of the creature.
"How are we suppose to kill it?" Cody asks picking up a shuriken.
"You can't" Mathias says with a look of fear on his face.
"That's bull shit, anything that is living can die" Mana says running picking up a senbon and sliding under the creature stabbing it in the stomach. The creature lets out an unearthly scream as it begins to thrash around. Koa picking up one of the shuriken on the ground runs up the wall and does a back flip and in mid flip he releases the star letting it get stuck in the forehead of the beast.
"Yeah Koa that's the way to do it" Mike exclaims cheering.
"Knights let's go aid them in battle" Alex says opening his back pack and pulls out several round orbs.
"What is that?" Jojo asks looking at the balls.
"They're bombs, that are filled with shards of glass and razor blades and explode on impact so back up you guys" Alex then tosses one after the other into the air making them hit each other causing them to explode as shards of glass and razor blades begin cutting at the flesh of the beast. Finally a shard of glass strikes the back of the beast causing something to happen to the creature.
The creature begins to howl and thrash its body all around until finally laying down, it's body begins to emit a green glow causing the creature to change forms, after the light disappears a lady is laying on the ground blood pouring from the wounds, Everyone in shock runs over and looks the mysterious who over. Aaron rolling the female over looks down at her relieved that she is still conscious.
"Who are you?" Aaron demands looking down at her pulling the senbon from her stomach. In a feint voice the female begins to speak
"Aaron you have grown to be a very handsome young man" she says brushing her hand against his cheek.
"How do you know my name?" Aaron says grabbing hold of her hand looking into her eyes. She doesn't say anything at first but hands him a locket.
"Open it when you desire my" That is the last thing that she is able to say before something comes up from under her and severs her spinal cord, killing this female instantly. Aaron wondering what could be in the locket opens it up to see a picture of the very same lady with a small child in her arms and an younger who male that looks almost exactly like Aaron.
"What could this mean? Does this mean that this lady, the one that we killed, was my mother?" Aaron says grasping the locket tightly in his fist. Looking up at the ceiling he lets out a loud yell "WHO THE HELL IS THIS HIGH KNIGHT!"
From the top of the chairmen's seat the one in the middle turns to show a person looking like Aaron but only older.
"You want to know who the high knight is?"
"Yeah I want to know who the high knight is you ass" Aaron says clenching his fists together the locket in his hands.
"I see you got your mother's locket" the high knight says standing to his feet.
"How did you know that she was my mother and that she gave me this locket"
"How would I not recognize my own son and my beloved wife" the high knight says walking down the steps ready for the final confrontation.
