Chapter 4: Battle

"What the heck!" Sol screamed as she stumbled back and landed on her behind. Strange looking creatures were floating in front of her and scaring the hell out of her. She had never seen these things before and they were definitely NOT human.

"Sol!"

Sol whipped her head to see Lavi and the others running at her. The black haired girl's jaw dropped to the ground seeing some weird things they had. Leenalee's legs and feet were covered in something, it looked like harden blood. Lavi had a giant hammer in his hand, where the heck did he even get it? Link had a weird knife attached to his arm also there was paper with strange symbols floating around him. Allen had a white cloak around him. Sol couldn't herself, but keep staring at his left arm. It was like claws and it was metal, she couldn't help but stare. It was so weird.

The black haired girl was ripped out of her daze as she began to hear something like a gun. Sol looked back at the strange creatures and saw them shooting at her. Sol got back up on her feet and began to run towards the four people. "What the heck is going on!?" She screamed as she ran towards them.

Allen ran towards Sol, while slashing at an akuma with his left hand, making it burst into smoke and explode. "Sol get back to the village!" He yelled, turning his head to meet Sol's eyes.

She stopped in her tracks and glared at him. "Why should I do that!? I'm not leaving you guys here with these things!"

"Just do it before you get yourself injured!" Link yelled at her.

Sol didn't know what to do at the moment. They looked like they were fine fighting these creatures, but there were so many, how could they finish them by themselves. She jumped back as one of these mechanical things shot at her. She hid behind a tree as it continued to shoot, it looked like the tree wasn't going to last. Sol clutched her hands together, her hands trembling.

Oh god in heaven please help us! She thought as she closed her eyes.

"Hiban!" Lavi cried as he crashed his hammer into the ground, the fire seal glowed and a flaming snake shot out. It hissed and attacked the akuma around it. Leenalee was ramming her feet into each one she could, while Link was setting up seals of his own.

This is not going very well, Allen thought as he slashed at akuma with his metal left hand. As Allen cut through the akuma and then he realized that Sol was no where to be seen. There was one akuma that was shooting at a tree. Seeing that the rest of his comrades were out fighting, he guessed that was where Sol was hiding. He ran over there, cutting some of the level 1 akuma along the way.

He arrived to where Sol was and tore the akuma open. It exploded and Allen could see it's soul leave this world. He went around the tree, seeing Sol leaning against it and it looked like she was praying.

"Sol, you have to go back! We can handle these things ourselves!" He grabbed her arm with his right hand and began to pull her away, "You have to go before get killed!" Sol glared at him, but said nothing.

She looked like she was going to start yelling at, but she stopped herself and turned her face away from his. "Fine I'll go." She pulled her arm away from Allen and rubbed it subconsciously. "Look, I don't really know you people," she paused and her face became a rosy red. "But your good people, so don't you dare die! Make sure you come back to town!"

Allen smiled, despite being in the middle of battle. "Okay then." Sol angry expression lightened a bit and she began to run into the woods, towards the town. Once Allen knew she was gone, he turned his attention back to the akuma at hand. The good thing was, these were all level 1. It was quite odd that there wasn't any higher levels.

Sol was running though the forest at a fast pace. The trees and bushes around her were green blurs. Those guys better come back! She thought angrily, there was no way should would forgive them if they died. Sol thought it was weird, she had just met them, yet she felt like they were already friends. Well, more with Leenalee, Lavi, and Allen, not so much with Link, but the feeling was still the same.

The black haired girl slowed down her pace and soon stopped. Her lungs felt like they were going to burst. She was running so fast and panicking so much she almost forgot to breath. She walked over to a tree and leaned against it. The night was cold, even though her body had warmed up from the running. Sol could see her breath in the chilly air. As she was resting a thought zipped into her mind.

Mr. Benett! The name rapidly went through her mind. He turned into one of those things! Why? He's a good person and wouldn't attack anyone like that, but was he human to start? Sol didn't know what to think. She had known Mr. Benett all the seven years she had been in that town. He seemed normal, so how could he do this? He even had children and was married! Sol cursed to herself, his wife also turned into one of those things. What was she going to tell his mother. This news might be enough to end her elderly life.

"What do we have here? A stray?"

Sol looked up at the night sky with widened eyes. An even weirder creature was floating in front of her. She just couldn't describe it at all. It looked kind of like a scorpion, but it looked metal like the creature Allen and the others were fighting and it was standing on two legs. The thing started to laugh as it's mouth opened and it licked it's lips. Sol took out her sword and raised it defensibly. The creature just started to laugh menacingly.

"That little stick won't help you." Sol could see a tail pop up from behind it. The tail was pointed like a spear. Sol began to tremble at the sight, you could hear her hands struggle to keep a good grip on her katana as the metal of the blade rattled. "Bye-bye." It said.

Sol suddenly felt a rising pain in her side. She looked down to see the tail jabbed into her side. All of sudden her whole body felt weak. The creature laughed as it ripped it's tail from her side, all the while she dropped onto her knees.

"My tail has akuma poison in it. You'll die within seconds."

She grasped onto her bleeding side and winched at the pain. Her body began to feel weaker and weaker. "No, not yet." She said quietly, almost in a whisper. Sol felt her eye lids become heavy, she was about to close them when an image flashed in her mind. The image was of a younger version of her. It was a memory, or so Sol thought. She had seen this vision many times. Everything in it was blinding, the area was so bright, but she wasn't alone in it. There was a boy, much older than her with blue hair that was very long, but because of brightness, she couldn't make out the rest of him. It always ended with they boy looking at her and smiling, but she couldn't never see his face.

"Not yet," Sol repeated standing up onto her feet. The star markings of the akuma poison spread onto her face and arms. "Not until I find him!" The grasp Sol had on her weapon tightened and she ran past the scorpion like thing. Despite the pain in her side she kept running. Sol knew there was only a couple of people that could kill this thing. Sol opened her mouth and panted slightly. She screamed to the top of her lungs, even though she would collapse at any given moment.

"ALLEN!"
