Somehow they manage to make it at the lowest floor. They don't care what kind of obstacle that they're facing, they just cut through them and slash them for those who stand in their way! As they arrive, most of the soldiers had guarded outside and ready to attack them anytime soon. "Ah! What should we do?" Xiao ask nervously, don't know what to do. As they look around, they saw a huge vehicle (which looks like a lorry) in the hall (which was supposed to be a demo). They examine the lorry and quickly step on it. Once Huang Gai sits on the driver's seat, he press 'start' button and ready to go. But before they go, some of the soldiers had come in and shoot them. Both Jiang Wei and Cao Ren jump down and hold the soldiers alone. "Just go, we'll catch up!" both Jiang Wei and Cao Ren charge towards soldiers and strike them down so that their friends could escape. "Wait! We can't just leave them alone?" Da asks, feeling guilty as she could not leave them alone. "Don't worry about them. They say they could make it right? Then we should trust them! Now let's go!" Huang Gai quickly presses the pedal and off they go!
They manage to buzz through some of the soldiers who at first shooting at them. But that won't stop them, these soldiers quickly ask for reinforcement and chase them, which this time they use their own vehicles to chase them down. While on their way to escape route, the soldiers start to firing at them while Da, Lu Xun and Xiao do their best to hold off. As the soldiers came, Da uses her 'White Mage' form to shield the others, Xiao and Lu Xun use their 'Black Mage' and 'Gunner' form to shoot down the soldiers, while Gan Ning and the others just sit there and strike those who came nearer (since they don't have a bow). But this won't hold them off! Lu Xun asks Huang Gai to take them off while he'll distract them alone. Without hesitation, he jumps off from the lorry and shoots down the soldiers who came nearer.
If you think he just gonna stand there and shoots them one by one, then you are wrong! He saw a pillar which few miles away from him. He thought it would be a perfect chance to hold them. But before he shoots, he saw another group of people came nearer to him, which they did not wear any soldier's outfit. It was Jiang Wei and Cao Ren who now riding the soldier's motorcycle and they're coming towards him! He quickly targets the pillar and shoots it down! As the pillar falls, most of the soldiers fall as they could not evade it and both Jiang Wei and Cao Ren manage to pass through the fallen pillar. Once they pass through, Jiang Wei quickly grab Lu Xun's wrist and swing him back behind him. "What's takes you guys so long?" Lu Xun asks jokingly. "Sorry, traffic jams…" both Jiang Wei and Cao Ren just gives him a smile and ready to keep up his friends. But that's not all! They saw some of the soldiers who now use the upper highway to chase his friends! They look at each other, having the same thought in their mind!
Juat as they almost reach two way paths, Cao Ren go to the other direction and started to strike the soldiers. After Cao Ren manages to go to the upper highway, Lu Xun use his 'Gunner' forms's Musou to bomb it down. Now the upper path was gone, and this makes most of the soldiers could not advance their plan and chase them down instead! Of course both Jiang Wei and Lu Xun had prepared for this. Lu Xun quickly turn backward, using Jiang Wei's back as a support, and shoot them down. "Just go, I'll handle your back", Lu Xun reply and keeps shooting. "Don't worry about me either; I'll be your front eye!" Jiang Wei reply, as he tried to finds a way to meet his friends.
Meanwhile, Cao Ren manages to keep up his friends. "Is everyone all right?" Cao Ren ask while still strike down some soldiers. "Yeah, we're fine, but where's the other two?" Xu Huang asks as he did not see where Jiang Wei and Lu Xun are. Just as Cao Ren wanted to answer his him, he could hear some strange noise coming towards them. "Oh, oh, no good…!" Xiao looks surprise! She did not expect more soldiers would come and this time, they came from the sky! "This is endless! What should we do?" Ma Chao asks, hoping to find ways to get away from them. Just as they tried to hold them off, Jiang Wei came in time and started to lead them to a tunnel. As they pass through the end of the tunnel, Lu Xun uses his Musou and bomb the tunnel down! Once the tunnel down, they quickly drive as fast as possible, leaving the soldiers behind.
Once they confirm the soldiers were not following them, they stop aside and get a rest, (which the petrol also had reached zero).
Gan Ning: Phew! That was close! (he stretch his arm and take a deep breath)
Huang Gai: Now that no one following us, we'll rest here for awhile… (he too stretch his body as he just drive a long way)
Lu Xun: Although there are no soldiers now, but we still can't afford to rest here, we need to go now…!
Xiao: What?! We just get ourselves out of trouble and now we still need to go?
Lu Xun: Look, whining won't help you at all. If you wish not to be caught by them again, I advise you to move now…
Jiang Wei: Actually, I agree with him. They're not that stupid who just let us rest and caught us… They might have another plan right now…
Cao Ren: So in other word, we need to get out of here as soon as we can? (Lu Xun did not answer him, he just nod his head)
Huang Gai: Then, where should we head then? There was a small town call Jing Zhou, maybe we could rest there…
Xiao: Good! We could meet Ying and Lei there…
Jiang Wei: So, does anyone object? (He look around to see their reaction, most of them just nod their head as they're really tired of running just now) Ok, since no one object, then, I guess we should go in a smaller group so that they won't find us easily…
Huang Gai: Well, if that's the case, who gonna follow me? (then, Da, Xiao, Cao Ren and Xu Huang go to his side) Alright! Now, let's go! We'll meet you there, chau… (they wave at them and walk towards the town's direction)
As for the others, they decided to use different route. As they started to leave the place, Lu Xun did not follow them and walk his own way.
Jiang Wei: Wait! Where are you…? (he tried to catch up with him)
Lu Xun: Don't follow me, I'll go alone… (he started to walk quickly as Jiang Wei tried to chase him)
Gan Ning: Just let him be, he always…hey! (but Jiang Wei did not listen as he had chase Lu Xun)
Jiang Wei: Wait! Don't go! (he hold Lu Xun's arm, hoping he could stop him)
Lu Xun: Look, this does not concern you, I need to go alone!
Jiang Wei: But! If you go alone, you might get in…
Lu Xun: …trouble? Then, how about you? Aren't you in trouble too? (Jiang Wei did not say anything and look at the ground) Being dead people and hunted by those people, don't you think you should think of yourselves first?
Ling Tong: Then how about you? Aren't you being hunted too? (Ling Tong and the others manage too caught up with them and overheard what they said)
Lu Xun: Don't worry about me, I can handle that, besides, this is not the first time I've been caught, so I have no problem with that… But on the other hand, you guys should be the one to be careful, as far as I know, you guys seem to be unfamiliar with this place and to tell you the truth, I don't trust you guys at all! Who knows this might had something to do with you guys…?
Gan Ning: (now this piss him off, he grab Lu Xun's collar and make him face to face) Listen midget, if you say we had something to do with those bustard, then think again! Why do you think we always seem clueless every time we got in the trouble?
Lu Xun: (he just gives him a smirk) Perhaps, you guys just pretended it…who knows…
Gan Ning: Why you?! (he wanted to punch him, but was stop by Ma Caho and Ling Tong. Lu Xun somehow manage to get away from his grip and just stand there, dust himself off)
Jiang Wei: If that's the case, why you still following us until now?
Lu Xun: That's my choice to make! I don't need someone to guide me, now if you'll excuse me… (he started to walk off, but was stop by Jiang Wei)
Jiang Wei: Then, back to the old building, why do you help us? If you knew who I am, you could just kill me! But, why did you save us instead and …
Lu XUn: jaut as I say, it is my choice! If you think we had the chance to be as a team, then you are wrong! I'm just doing it because it's just gives me some advantage… (he turn and walk away, before he transform to 'Ninja' form, he turn his face slightly, facing Jiang Wei) By the way, better think twice before you decide to do so, as far as I know, you seem to be hold back by something and you should know this might cause us some troubles. (then he transform and disappear in the air)
Gan Ning: (Now that Lu Xun had gone, Ling Tong and Ma Chao let Gan Ning go) You should just let me hit him! He's totally out of his mind! (and he continues to complain about Lu Xun's attitude)
Ma Chao: (he rolls his eyes and walk towards Jiang Wei) so, shall we go now, since they had leave, I think we should precede then. (at the same, he pat Jiang Wei's shoulder and walk towards the town)
Jiang Wei: Yeah, there's no time to waste, let's go… (Although he tried to sounds bright but because of what Lu Xun had said, he started to thought to himself along the way)
Huang Gai's group…
Along their way to Jing Zhou, they almost reach the destination.
Xu Huang: Say, ladies, how come you girls would come and help us?
Xiao: Oh you silly boy, of course we cannot just let you guys get in the trouble! We're family!
Da: Yes, if one get trouble, then we'll help, right, Xiao? (she looks at Xiao and smile)
Xiao: Um! (she smiles too)
Huang Gai: Oh~ you girls shouldn't be! I mean, this is men fight, not girls, and we don't want you girls get in any trouble…
Xiao: Hey, don't think because we're women then we can't handle anything!
Da: Yeah, besides, it is our decision anyway…
Cao Ren: Your decision? Since when did you make such decision?
Da: Uh, you see… We thought you might want our help so… As you guys went to fight those Cao's man, we decided that we should help you…
Xiao: But just before we go, we ask Lei and Ying to stay at Jing Zhou's motel and wait for our return!
Huang Gai: Whoa, you girls definitely had thought about it… I'm impress!
Da: Yeah, you can say that so… (both Da and Xiao just smile, they knew the danger that they'll be facing, but for them, it was worth it, as they had done a perfect job)
Xu Huang: Hey, is that the place? (he point forward, there was a small town in front of them)
Huang Gai: Yup! That's the place, let's go! (then they quicken their pace and run towards the town)
Xiao: Yeah, we could meet Lei and Ying! (both Da and Xiao jumps happily. They could meet their daughters again)
Jiang Wei's group…
Along their way, Gan Ning keeps complaining about Lu Xun's attitude while Ling Tong just shut his ears with his hand. As they walk, Jiang Wei thought a lot of thing, wondering about what Lu Xun said.
Wei Yan: You…thinking?
Jiang Wei: (snap back to reality) Hm? Oh, it's …nothing…
Wei Yan: What…you…think…of…
Jiang Wei: Nothing, just nothing… (he tried to cover it up but fail)
Wei Yan: Thinking…what…Lu Xun…said?
Jiang Wei: *sigh* There's really nothing that could hide it from you, doesn't it?
Wei Yan: Your…face…tells…everything…
Jiang Wei: Huh? (Wei Yan just nod his head) I guess I'm not good at hiding things then…
Wei Yan: Tell, what…you…think?
Jiang Wei: You know, I don't know what to do… I mean, whatever Lu Xun said was right; I'm still doubt of something…
Wei Yan: Then…don't…
Jiang Wei: I hope I could too, but, it's not that simple and it concern with my past, I don't remember a thing of what had happen, what I've done… I do thought of searchi8ng the truth but… I just can't… I can't seem to remember and now, I… (he lower his head, looks trouble)
Wei Yan: Then…don't…remember…
Jiang Wei: What?
Wei Yan: A friend…told…me…The more…you tried…the more…you…confused…hurt…Better…not…force…It…came…nature…ly…
Jiang Wei: So, you're telling me that I should stop thinking now… (Wei Yan just nod his head) I guess I should…
Wei Yan: Don't…worry…when…time…comes…it come… (he could tell that Jiang Wei was slightly relax from the tension and he gives him a smile behind his mask)
Jiang Wei: Thanks, Wei Yan, you did help me a lot. You are right, I should heed your word then… (he just smile)
Wei Yan: Until…then… (the both of them walk to\gether, they quicken their pace to chase up his friends)
Ma Chao: Look! There's a town there, is that the one?
Jiang Wei: (he looks carefully, it was indeed Jing Zhou) Yes it is!
Gan Ning: Finally! We've arrive!
Ling Tong: I wonder if they had arrived… (somehow he saw a huge gifure waving at them. It was Huang Gai)
Jiang Wai: Is that answering your question? (without hesitate, thay all ran towards the town and greet Huang Gai)
Once they greet, Huang Gai lead them to a room which was held at third floor of a motel. As they open the door, they saw most of them were sitting on the bed and coach, waiting for them. They look around, finding a place to rest. Somehow, Jiang Wei still looking around, searching for Lu Xun.
Jiang Wei: Does anyone saw Lu Xun? I thought he was supposed to be here…
Xiao: If you're asking about that kid, nope, haven't seen him…
Huang Gai: But I thought you guys supposed to be together…
Gan Ning: Nah, he doesn't want to follow us… He said something about wanted to be alone (he stretch his body and leans against the wall, resting)
Jiang Wei: Still, he should be arrive by now…
Xiao: It would be better if he wasn't with us…I mean, his attitude really bug me!
Lei: But, Aunt Xiao! (deep I her heart, she wanted to meet Lu Xun again)
Xiao: What, I'm just telling the truth… (but deep in her heart, she doesn't want to meet him. Just as she wishes he would not be here, suddenly, Lu Xun came in from the window and stand at the corner, crossing arm) Geez, speaking about devil…(she turn her face away, not wanting to look at him)
Huang Gai: Don't you know how to come through the door? (Lu Xun just ignores him, not even care to look at him.)
Ling Tong: Now that we are all here, what should we do now?
Xu Huang: What else could we do? Since we're being chase by those soldiers now, I guess we should lay low...
Ma Chao: Still, we can't stay like this forever, they gonna find us anytime soon!
Gan Ning: Is there any place that we could hide?
Jiang Wei: I'm afraid not, no matter where we go, they'll find us…
Gan Ning: Ah…this is hopeless! Unless we had a clue of where should we go… (they tried to think hard, as they need to find a place to hide too)
Lu Xun: (he look around him, they're all thinking hard and probably did not pay attention to him. He walks towards Cao Ren and ask something that had bug him ever since they escape from the building) Cao Ren, about Lu Bu…You say he was still alive right? But, was that possible? For what I heard, aren't he supposed died 2 years ago… (now this makes most of them pay attention at them since they just mention about Lu Bu)
Huang Gai: Come to think of it, you did mention about him before, so, is it true that he still alive?
Cao Ren: (he just lowers his head) Actually, I don't believe myself either. But I definitely confirm that was his doing! Besides, that's one of his fight's signatures. Only he could do it!
Lu Xun: Since you say it as if you knew him, I bet you definitely meet him before, right? So, when did the last time you meet him?
Cao Ren: Yes, 2 years ago, I remember, the last place we meet was that place, Yi Ling! And that was the place where we fought against each other! (now this really makes most of them surprise! Not only that this place was totally same as their world, but they never thought Cao Ren did meet him back then and fought him! Lu Xun on the other hand was shock; his eyes wide open in disbelief!)
Huang Gai: Wait! You fought with him and you… kill him?
Cao Ren: Supposingly, yes, I did.
Huang Gai: But why? I thought he was the best of them all and he was a 1st class Commander in the world! Then why you…?
Cao Ren: I did it because he done something terrible to the town! I see no choice but to cut him down!
Jiang Wei: Wait, what do you mean there's no choice? And what did he do to the town?
Cao Ren: (most of them just look at him, hoping he could gives them some explanation. He gives himself a deep breath and told them everything he knew) Well, 2 years ago at Yi Ling…
Ok, that's it for this chapter.
On next chapter, Cao Ren tells them everything about the incidents from 2 years ago, but what is it? Is Lu Bu still alive? And what kind of ill- fate will they meet next time?
Stay tune!
