The air, clouds, sky, everything was rushing faster and faster, but surprisingly, the first of those falling on the deployed parachute, a scarlet imp in black and white, looking at everything with his yellow-red eyes, was very surprised, because despite flying down to the world of people, he did not feel that his fall would affect him. end tragically, and this is due to the cushion of power that formed in front of everyone, as it always happened when someone let go of the kingdom of heaven, the sky.

- what a miracle. Blitzo asked, and the gentle grip on his left hand tightened a bit, Blitzo looked to his left at a yellow sheep in a yellow dress flying next to Freckle, who giggled, remembering one of the more important issues.

- I forgot to say that when one of us wanders into the human world without wings, the airbag is automatically activated and we don't need parachutes, but it's still nice, isn't it, a security feature in case someone forgets to use the wings, and that happens sometimes. She said Keenie, with joy evident in her purple eyes.

- now you're telling us this, so why do we need these backpacks?. The red imp Moxxie asked as he flew from the other side with the black-haired Millie, holding each other's hands.

- and I like it, we have parachutes for showboating, as they say. She said Millie, shining her yellow eyes at Moxxie and he shook his head and his gray hair, staring at the indescribable sights, the sky, the earth, and everything around.

- wait a minute, where is Loona?. Blitzo asked and this time it was he who pressed harder on Keenie's right front hoof and she, letting go of the scarlet pixie's hand for a moment, made a quick turn and returned to her current position.

- it's nearby, but soon. She said Keenie and spun around again and squealed.

- what happened, is there something wrong with her, tell me!. Blitzo shouted in panic.

- that's not it, but I don't see our friend there. Keenie said.

- What!. They all shouted together.

- I don't know what it's about, but what I see down there doesn't look like Japan to me, this river, these forests, strange cities on the horizon, what is it?. Moxxie asked, staring at the view below.

- wait a minute, I've seen something like that before, it's definitely not Japan, oh, I'm sorry, Moxxie, I didn't mean to. She said Millie, squeezing her husband's hand with such force that Moxxie squealed slightly.

- but why, what does it mean?. Blidzo asked as Loona passed them all, entering into a diving flight, ending the flight by firing a brown parachute.

They all laid down after each other, the three imps pulled the strings, their parachutes opened immediately and apart from Keenie flying on her wings, they all landed in one place in a small clearing in front of the dense jungle and the river called Ganges, the sight of the great river and the symbol of the country of India made everyone with wide eyes they stared at the dark contaminated gel, unable to understand what their friend and ally had done for them.

- he cheated on us, but why, why did he do this to us?. Moxxie asked.

- he's a clever subversive, that's why he let us in ahead, to fool us, when I catch him, I'll twist his ear. Blitzo said irritably, looking into the water and shouting at the emerging crocodile, which immediately rattled its jaws and disappeared into the muddy depths of the water.

- wait, he sent us here so that we wouldn't get involved in his fight, he did it for us so that none of us would have to take risks, but, that's not what you stop doing. She said Millie, gritting her teeth against her hands, not knowing who to be more angry at.

- since he did it for us, I don't know what to do now, but no matter what you say, I have a crazy idea in my head, and you know what, I'm going to Japan, maybe I'll make it, aaaa. Keenie squealed when suddenly everyone was shocked by the growl of two tigers coming out of the forest, followed by the furious screaming and barking of Loona, who had been silent for some time and now unleashed all her fury, directed only at herself and the two tigers.

Loona, like a furious hound with claws and teeth, jumped towards the two terrified tigers and a large and thick cloud of dust rose up around them, after a while only a slight squeal and yelp could be heard, and then a pair of tigers fell out of the cloud of dust with torn hair visible all over their backs, two tigers, squealing and wailing, began to grab the ground, trying to escape from their tamer, and the furious Loona, with the tiger's hair between her claws and teeth, grabbed their tails and spun the tigers, throwing them one and the other over the large river, the two tigers hit the ground on the other side, where she also the crocodile fled and the others fell back behind Blitzo, for the image of the furious light gray wolf lady, her red eyes seething with rage, was a sight that would break the will of the bravest, except John and his opponents.

- Loona, calm down, I know you're into him. Blitzo said but was quickly knocked down by a sonic wave of screaming and screaming.

- are you crazy, why could I be mad at him, he did it for us, for me, to protect us, I'm only mad at myself, I haven't told him how I feel about him again, how stupid I am, Keenie, Blitzo, I know what you're feeling connects and never delay, because it's me, not Loona, don't even think about it, John can handle it. She said Loona, placing her hands on her face, over her eyes, and kneeling on the ground at the threshold of the great river Ganges.

The words of the light silver wolf lady reached everyone again, especially Blitzo and Keenie, even though they were both done today, they knew how despite their extraordinary abilities and powers, how their lives can and are very short and fleeting today, it made both Blitzo and Keenie shook hands, exchanging a mutual promise.

- always and forever with you, to the end of the world, I love you. Blitzo said.

- to the end of the world, where you are, I love you too. Keenie said, hugging the shaking imp, and Millie offered Moxxie's hand again and squeezed his hand tightly, and everything that was once impossible, blurry, impossible, today became true and connected two impossible hearts.

It was a moment of silence suddenly broken by Millie walking, Millie approached Loona and placed her hand on her right shoulder close to her gray top, looking with her into the depths of the flowing river.

- Loona, we should hurry, as quickly as possible, maybe we will still be able to help our friends, and of course John, he needs us, you. She said Millie, seeing Loona's face in the reflection of the water, her determination broken by one fact.

- I would love to go there, fly there, but it is a place far from any civilization, John knew what he was doing by sending us here. She said Loona, her will a little broken, and Millie suddenly laughed so much that everyone looked at her.

- Millie, what happened, wait, that smile, that strength in your eyes, you have some plan. Said Mooxie as he looked into his wife's eyes and saw the same joy he often saw when Millie had a great idea and an ace up her sleeve that gave her an advantage.

-Millie!. Loona shouted, picking up Millie and tugging at her like she was a rag toy.

- please tell me what your plan is, tell me!. Loona screamed and continued to shake Millie left and right.

- Loona, if you keep harassing my wife like that, we won't learn anything. Moxxie said and Loona immediately released Millie and she, making a few shaky movements, looked around until her entire consciousness focused on the wide eyes of the wolf lady, those red eyes with white sclera, those eyes brimming with hope.

- me, this one, I mean, and yes, I don't know what to call it, but not only Helen has her intuition, something tempted me that day, and when everyone was looking for parachutes, I took something with me from the sky, and here's what I have with me. Said Millie, they pull out from under her bra a small brick covered with a strange, unknown writing, a brick that not so long ago was part of the prison that bound Murmur for eternity, which, along with him as a levitating disk of power, was his means of transport to heaven.

- this is. Keenie squealed, hiding behind Blitzo.

- it's this technology, Murmur used it to get to heaven, as a means of transportation, it means it works, but how. Blitzo asked and Millie with a gentle smile threw a brick which immediately formed a small disk, smaller than the previous one because most of the binding technology was destroyed by Murmur and this small brick was the last one left and now it formed a small disk that could take everyone to Japan.

- as I said, I found it during all this chaos, apparently Murmur didn't destroy everything, it's the last such element, it would be worth using it. Millie said and there was no need to wait for Loona's reaction, Loona immediately entered the disk that could now accommodate ten passengers.

- but how does it work, aaaaa!. Loona shouted as, as she thought, the saucer made a few turns and rose up to ten meters in the air, and the others retreated back to the brown parachutes lying between the forest and the river.

- geez, it works, but how?. Moxxie asked, looking at everything with his big eyes.

- it looks like it's controlled by thought, I think so, because when I found it it was a bit bigger, thanks to my thought it was reduced to a small brick. Millie said.

- I wonder why it was once a prison and now it is, you see. Keenie asked.

- maybe because at the beginning it was designed to be a prison, maybe it could be a prison again, but firstly, without power from the world core it doesn't work, and secondly, after the security was broken, the prison stopped being a prison, I'm not very good at it, Tom Clark would certainly know more about this, but, Loona, if you can, land, you are the main pilot, think and it will become true. Blitzo said.

Loona, hearing everything, looked at the shiny brown disk with wide eyes and, following Blitzo's advice, she did as she was advised, Loona closed her eyes and thought, and the ship immediately obeyed, landing on the ground at the foot of the Ganges River, Loona opened her eyes and her thoughts wandered to the possibilities, almost as if she underwent automatic training in using the technology of an unknown civilization, after all, when Loona knew everything, she waved her hands at everyone and told them to get on.

- whatever, I won't wait for you that long, let's get in. She said Loona.

They all looked at each other and nodded.

- I guess it won't be bad. She said Millie as she walked first, dragging Moxxie behind her.

- this will be fascinating, come on Blitzo, it will be fun, and remember, our friend needs us. She said Keenie as she dragged Blitzo behind her with such speed and force that Blitzo was actually dragged along the ground.

Everyone stood on a brown saucer, everyone was racing with their thoughts, looking at each other, but no one felt any contact with the strange technology except one, and Loona smiled at everyone and then looked at the horizon where the sun rose every morning.

- I know how to use it, it's really simple. Loona said.

- but for sure. Moxxie asked.

- and why don't we feel anything here, I mean, we can't pilot it. Blitzo asked with Moxxie holding Millie and Keenie's hands.

- it's simple, I'm the first to use this technology, so the system chose me as the first pilot and now hold on, maybe shake a little, wait. She said Loona before she looked at Keenie and everything came back to one place.

- wait, Keenie, if you hook up with my dad, that means you'll be my mom, oh my. She said Loona and her eyes rolled around just like Keenie's as the news sunk in to her full self.

- oh my, yes, I almost forgot about you, daughter, I mean, Em. She told Keenie, having the most difficult moment to express everything, and even Blitzo holding her hand did not give her the strength to sort it all out, but all this was interrupted by Loona herself, waving off the whole matter, because more important things were waiting for her far in the east.

- we don't have time for this, today another matter is more important, but Keenie, when this is all over, we'll have to talk. Loona said and Keenie nodded, feeling great relief, and the ship, according to the will of the main pilot, rose into the sky and glided through the sky, and despite the speed it was gaining, an invisible barrier blocked every turbulence.

- this is amazing. Keenie and Millie said at the same time, watching as the saucer took them east with great and greater speed, not feeling even the slightest breath of wind on them, so the brown saucer flew across the sky, rushing to one place far in the east, to Japan, where many things were to be decided.

Meanwhile, Japan, on one of the tracks, stood a detached blue wagon, where there was a strange atmosphere of expectation, uncertainty, and every moment was becoming a day leading to one great culmination or tragedy, and so on the brown floor of the blue train, the second wagon, detached from the rest, was sitting to the ground Verosika finally opened her eyes and saw her reflection in the window opposite, what she saw made the pink succubus in a black and white dress with stars scream and her white hair stood up slightly, and it was a bruise on her left eye and she was maliciously irritated black face with permanent pencil.

- what have you sadists done to me!. Verosika shouted, looking at two black-haired assassins, Chidi in a white suit scratching his chin with a crayon and Ares in a black suit who was drinking carrot juice from a plastic bottle pulled out from a small bar.

- as soon as I get up. What is. Verosika said, then she realized that she was tied up and was sitting against the wall of the train together with a cherub in an orange suit, Cletus, and her bodyguard, a dark gray Vortex, who was tied all around, from his feet to his head, with a rope that completely covered his black shirt, jacket and gray pants, the only thing not covered were his angry red eyes and his intense focus on the two assassins.

- when I get out of these cursed bonds, you will regret it, both of you, without exception, will see. Vortex said, trying to fight, to break the bonds, but they themselves were hemp and freeing something like that was probably impossible now.

- pathetic, always the same. Chidi said again. He stroked Vortex's face with some funny drawings and bows, the help of the red Mole, and Vortex could only boil, trying to bite, but nothing ever reached the quick hand of the killer in the white suit, Chidi laughed quietly and nonchalantly sat down in front of the bar, looking for everything that would be good and suitable. until his chin wrinkled when Chidi finally pulled out the bottle with a stronger force, and what Chidi pulled out made Verosika stutter looking at what had once caused her so many problems, Chidi nonchalantly walked up to the pink succubus and swung the bottle in front of her head, throwing her challenge.

- well, if it happens, you want a drink, go ahead, it doesn't hurt, ask. Chidi said, swinging the bottle in such a way that Verosika looked at the bottle in a truly hypnotic way, her white hair stood up and her yellow eyes followed the bottle.

- no!, Verosika, it's a trap. Cletus said, nudging Verosik's side, looking at her with his wide purple eyes.

- what, what, wait, you!. Verosika shouted when she looked to the right and saw a panicked cherub in an orange jacket, his fear and anxiety were visible, but everything was focused not on him but on the bottle with something stronger, and Verosika, looking at him first, an asthenic, gripped the bottle tightly so that she screamed.

- you think I'm naive, I'll never go back to it, so take it from me, you boor. She said Verosika, making a truly great leap forward today in the fight against her fatal addiction, Chidi silently shrugged his shoulders and stepped away from Verosika, Ares passing by waved her fingers a few times and, taking the bottle from the killer in white, she swung it in front of Verosika so that it looked like blow, and Cletus, lying next to her, rolled to the side to shield her from the blow, but instead, a strange and unfortunate situation occurred again, Ares, feigning a blow, threw the bottle through the window and looked at the cherub lying on the succubus and shook her head, waving her arms and sitting down. next to everyone on the off-black seat, waiting for his real opponent, and he was getting closer every second, just as Helen wanted him to.

- I, I'm sorry. Cletus said and Chidi grabbed him by the wings and threw him to the side, almost knocking him unconscious.

- you boor, hurt him again and you'll see!. Verosika shouted loudly and even though Chidi had just pulled out a gun, she did not lose her verve and confidence.

- Um, boss, it's better not to irritate him. Vortex said carefully and Chidi laughed under his breath and sat down on the expensive seat, checking the gun and the remaining magazines, and finally forming two black pistols in his hands with the power given to him by Helen, as well as Ares sitting across from him.

- wait, where is what?. Verosika asked when she remembered the most important point of her mission, namely Tom Clark and Octavia, as it turned out, a gray owl with a white face and a black beak in a red T-shirt and a coat made of owl feathers, Octavia was also lying tied up against the other wall opposite together with the scientist in brown clothes and a jacket, black-haired Tom Clark tied up in the same way the hosts and wrists, two assassins looked at them and Ares held out two guns in front of them, ready to shoot.

- please don't hurt Octavia, shoot only at me if you want. Tom said and Octavia next to her immediately started shaking her head, her pink eyes trembling even more than her own feathers.

- no, don't listen to him. She said Octavia before the killer's scream stopped them all.

- shut up, we have no intention of killing you right now, come on the other side and John will come here whether you live here or not, hey Ares or maybe he will. Chidi said, raising his right black eyebrow and Ares waved her fingers a few times in sign language while speaking.

- no, they will see that he can be defeated, I want an audience, let them see, let them hear. Ares waved her fingers and Chidi laughed under his breath, agreeing with the assassin's words. Chidi took a few sips of apple juice.

- exactly, let them look at it, let them hear it, yes, because your friend John Wick will come especially for you, we are sure of that, Helen knows what she is talking about and knows how her ex-husband works, and your couple is a big drag today our enemy, adversary, because, you know, if it weren't for you, John would certainly be on his way to the Fuji volcano, and that would be a bigger problem, but you solved it with your own stupidity, and we'll be patient with the rest. Chidi said, rubbing his hands where he could materialize a weapon of his own power at any moment.

- madmen, he will have no concessions for you, he will have no mercy for you, nothing!. Octavia shouted and Chidi laughed out loud.

- and this is the truth Ares. He told Chidia and Ares waved her fingers a few times in response, silently saying that she agreed and was also waiting for John to arrive and his lack of hesitation.

Both resurrected assassins wanted something else besides revenge, a real challenge, a fight, a duel at the highest level with an opponent who will do anything to save someone who found themselves in a similar place, a similar situation, and they did not change even for a moment, because the two assassins looked at the bound and smiled sincerely, which, of course, now provided more fear than ever.

- these are crazy, real crazy, what we do. Cletus asked.

- what can you do here, someone is really crazy here, their brains must have exploded a long time ago. Vortex said, and when he looked at the determined faces of both assassins, he trembled and stammered, and even though he had funny drawings painted on his face, the face of two unbalanced madmen, it made Vortex feel only fear and nothing else, because the pair of assassins could do anything, she as well as him.

- Um, Cletus, maybe it's better not to say anything, they might turn us into toothpicks. Vortex whispered to Cletus, who was sitting on the other side behind Verosika.

- I'm not going to sit here like a deaf stump, they are unbalanced, do you really think you can cope with John, he will cut you into pieces and that will be the end of your ridiculous story. Cletus said sharply before his wings trembled slightly as he saw the assassin straightening her brown hair and her great concentration in front of him.

Actually, Cletus knew sign language, it was not such a problem for him to read what Ares had just told him, but when she finished and smiled sinisterly at him, Cletus first blushed and then started to spin in place.

- no, not that, I mean, it's not for you, no!. Cletus shouted and Verosika, sitting next to him, knowing what was going on, lay down on him, protecting her from the assassin.

- and bite yourself, you know where and why, get lost, you, you, I don't know what to call you. She said Verosika, lying sideways on top of Cletus in a strange and funny pose.

- you fools, you'll see, he won't take prisoners here, after all, it's probably already started. Tom Clark said.

It was then that everything shook and a powerful shock wave hit the train, everything went into high gear, two wagons fell off the tracks, rolled on the ground and made their first, second, third and fourth turns, everything around started flying and flying, and Octavia and Tom, making a few turns, landed one on top of the other, just as Cletus landed on Verosik again, and Vortex was upside down, where the bonds binding his wrists and sharp claws broke for the first time, and when the train stopped, John Wick ran into the carriage, hitting the surprised killer in white. .

There was a bang and a crash, the glass broke twice, its fragments scattered on the brown floor filled with various fragments, and the surprised Chidi fell out of the second window, creating a large hole leading to a small clearing with a view of the Fuji volcano, John stopped for a moment and looked at Ares, ready to fight with a weapon in her hand, John made a few movements with his finger and Ares nodded at him, and then they both started to leave the train to fight in a more suitable place.

- what are they doing, John what are you doing. Octavia asked, ruffling her feathers again.

- it's simple, this is not the right place for our duel, don't get out of the wagons, that's my advice. John said, disappearing through a hole in the blue wall of the carriage, and Octavia, with a trembling right eye, looked at the Rzytki family and suddenly began to struggle to free her limbs, arms and legs from the bonds.

- I have it. said Vortex as his sharp claws finally worked and the first break took place, the strong bonds finally gave way and the freeing hound in black and gray quickly crouched down next to the others cutting their bonds but when he looked through the broken wall he screamed because that's when the duel began, two on one and the black and white bullet passed his head, cutting through part of the fur on the top of his head, leaving a small but visible stripe.

Vortex squealed and hid behind the wall, carefully listening to the sounds of a fight that could decide the fate of two worlds, or even three.

L

Many hearts were already shaking, I think I made a little melodrama out of this story, but I don't regret it, I can regret what will happen in the next chapter because many tragedies appeared on the horizon as well as a great moment of trial and the duel with Chidi and Ares was supposed to be one of the trials. and the consequences were also to be terrible.
