The first of the men came forward and slashed at his chest area, he parried moving behind and kicking him. Elijah then sidestepped to the left to avoid a stab from behind. Grabbing the attacker's sword arm Elijah hit the man with the end of his sword handle knocing the wind out of him. Using that he grabbed the same man's sword and swung to the left blocking an attack from another, and he then swung his actual sword to the right to block the other man.
Two more men came from behind and front to slash at his midsection, but with good timeing Elijah jumped while spinning causing the two swordsmen to lose their footing to which gave him enough edge to sissor kick them in the head. The two wound up hitting each others blades just as he left that space. Elijah while coming down discarded the extra sword into the air and with both hands and slashed down on the two's swords, which to their shock both swords had actually broken into several pieces, one of them screaming out
"Impossible! The swords made from Ohmu shell shouldn't be that easy to break!"
Elijah came up on the man who shouted and he said, "My sword was made of materials gathered from space." Elijah hit the man with his blunt side of his sword hard eough to send him to the ground out like a light.
After a moment of silence. "There's one more..." he simply said. To these words he heard footsteps from the left. Elijah held up his hand and the other sword landed right in his hand, to a second later he threw ot so hard that the blade caught the man's armor through it and sending him to a tree where the sword got stuck. elijah walked up to the man who whispered, "What are you?"
Elijah smirked, "Just a wandering swordsman." elijah then whacked him with the butt of his sword finally sheathing it. "Now then..." He said before vanishing into the night. One of the soliders who wasnt knocked out, could only shack in terror, "He's just like master.."
Yupa and Nausicca could hear the fight actually happening, but when it was silent, they waited. "Do you think-"
"Shh!" Yupa sushed her. A mere second later he drew his sword and swung, to which another sword clashed with his. "OI! Old man! it's Me!" Indeed, Elijah was silebtly walking up to them when suddenly he was forced to draw his own sword to parry Yupa's. which was a close cll as both of them had swords at each others throats.
"This is awkward.." remarked Elijah.
The calmly sheathed their swords when Elijah spoke, "I encountered some of the attackers..all were wearing a strange black armor." Yupa looked at him while he continued, "Other than that there was nothing else weird about them." Black armor... for some odd reason it was a familiar to Yupa...but he couldnt place it.
"What do they want?" asked Nausicca.
Elijah turned to Yupa as if asking the same question. He stroked his beard and thought. "I dont know, but we need to-" someone was screaming cutting off Yupa with an "AAAHHHHH!" and soon after a "Let me go now!"
Elijah reconized the voice, but it was Nausicca who exclaimed, "It's Oliva!"
The trio jumped from their hiding spot to see a group of men running, one of them had a kicking and screaming Olivia. "Let me go you damn bastards!" Nausicca gasped and Elijah's eyes widened, "Whoa...didn't know she could talk like that..."
She looked at him, "It was one of the words you said while you were sleeping, she most likely picked it up not knowing..."
Yupa brought the two out of their conversation right then, "We can discuss volcabulary later, they are almost out of the valley! nausucca, warn to towns people, and if you can tail them with your glider if we cant get to them in time!"
She nodded taking off for the main windmill tower while both men nodded to each other and started runnin at the group. one of them shouted, and Elijah reconized him, "It's him!" sighing he stated, "I should have knocked him out..." yupa looked at him, "did you even try?" elijah looked at him dumbfounded, "How many people have you seen get up after getting kicked in the back of the neck?"
"point taken..." Yupa moved faster, "I'll deal with them, you go ahead."
"Alright." they split up, yupa attacking the group while elijah moved to the left then upwards. he glanced at at the swordsmanship of yupa and said to himself, "I should make a note not to fight him seriously..." Elijah moved into the night almost like a ghost.
Elijah had trouble finding them at first, but then found them climbing up the mountain at a remarkable speed, "What are these guys...ninjas?" he for the life of him couldn;t understand how they could move like that with the armor, but then he noticed that it was a lighter armor.
So..they have hevay armor, and then they have light armor...
Elijah looked around the base and found a foot hold. "Okay, up we go.." he started to climb, not as fast as the guys above him, but fast enough to catch up to them. The cliff was about 100 meters, they had got to the top just as he hit 3/4 of the way. "I'm getting to old for this..."
Finally making it to the top he rolled from the edge and got up catching his breath. Thats when his blood chilled, what caused this said, "Your resiliant...I applaud your efforts.."
Just then a glider flew overhead, Elijah guessed it was Nausicca. at first he smikred, but the man soon looked bored, "shoot it out of the sky please." the order came off his lips so naturally that several people pulled out guns and fired at the Glider "Oh shit!"
The glider soon caught fire and landed a good distance away. Elijah looked at the man with scorn, "You Bastard..."
Elijah got up and found himself looking at a man who's face looked so familiar that he almost counld't breath. Olivia was already bound in ropes and gagged. Small tears rolled down her face. Elijah's face distorted with anger, for shooting down nausicca and putting the girl into such aposition. "If you lay one finger on her I'll-"
"You'll what?" the man said. He was wearing some sort of armored long coat, like of what you would see on a japanese general, but it was light armor and there wasn't much hint of a samurai stance with that stance.
"You'll attack me? kill me? go ahead." the man taunted. he grabbed something from someone, it was a long sword, about a 70inch blade with a 18 inch handle.. Unsheathing it he swung and gestured for elijah to come at him.
Elijah, taking up the challenge unsheathed his sword and slashed horizantally upwards. The speed of the attack momentarly surprised the man but the clang and two swords sounded. Elijah looked up and the man was looking at him with pity, "Is that all?" The man twisted his sword and caused elijah to lose grip, to which the man used this opening to slash him across the chest. The muffled scream of Olivia could be heard and Elijah slowly fell, his vision starting to fade.
"You have one week to save this little girl...or evryone will die. that is my condition." Elijah's vision faded watching the man sheath the sword walking away. Olivia's screaming was cut off abruptly as she was knocked out and carried off. Time seemed to have slowed down as he held his hand out as if trying to get to her.
His vision soon faded, the last thing he saw and heard was suddenly yelling and flashes of light, to which he finally faded.
The sun rose over the valley, of course, it was not a good morning.
People who were hurt in last nights attacks numbered about 20. as for the attackers...it was like they all vanished, even the ones who were knocked out were gone.
At the Castle Yupa was in a room watching two people sleep, Nausicca in one bed and elijah in the other, granted Elijah's injuries were caused by a weapon, while Nausicca's injuries were caused by her fall from crashing her glider..well, the story as follows would be that Nausicca got hit with the unexpected firepower, causing her glider to malfunction and crash, she jumped off moments before, it is a mystery if it was wise to jump off.
"Ughh..." Elijah groaned.
"How do you feel?" asked yupa.
"Like a million bucks..."
He looked a Elijah who then waved it of, and tried ti sit up "Ah, never mind. i'm fine..kinda..guh.." he felt a rush of pain.
"It's best that you dont move."
"Yeah.." he agreed with a smile and laid back down. "I dont suppose you have any word on those men."
Yupa looked away saying, "No, they left in an airship before I could catch up.. they headed across the sea."
Elijah sighed, "How long before i'm able to move?"
"Sadly about a week.."
"Great..."
Elijah looked over at the sleeping Nausicca, "She don't look too bad."
Yupa laughed, "Pretty resilient, Of course, she's always been like that."
"Had to be fun watching her grow up eh?"
They both laughed slightly.
"Say...whats her story exactly?" Elijah asked.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean...She looks sad.."
Yupa stared at him for a long time, to which he soon answered, "A few months ago, her father was murdered."
"I'm sorry..."
"No no...it was truly a tragic event...Her father had already been poisoned by the toxic jungle as well..."
"So either way he was going to die.."
"She was trying to find a cure for it, but he died too soon. other things have happened after that."
Elijah turned to look at the ceiling, "So in a week we'll track those guys down right?"
Yupa nodded, "Until then though, get some rest."
Yupa stood up from his chair and placed something on Elijah's bed and left the room, neglecting to tell him that he had actually been out or about a week.
Elijah looked at the item yupa left, and realized that it was the necklace he gave to Olivia. "What a cruel a sick joke ain't it?" he asked no one in particular.
What neither male knew was that Nausicca had actually been awake and listening in.
"A cruel sick joke..." Elijah repeated.
It's a little better than the last few chapters(mostly because i'm not trying to update six other fics at the moment) so yay!
anyway, Next chapter will be up...when i hve an idea for how to proceed since i took a small turn away from the plot...No i'm not changing to whole thing, I'm just changing the direction for you see i'm better at making it up as i go so so far i have the whole plot in my head, it'll take a while to get it down on wordpad.
Also I'm going to be updating the first few chapters, to make them a little cleaner yes? i got someone who's willing, but i dunno for sure yet. going to ask another person to also edit out chapters.
Anyway, It's all good now so dont worry no more XD later and see you guys with a new chapter in a few weeks or so XD(hopefully not a years and a half like this last time lols)
