Chapter 9 - A Plan In The Making, The Battle Is On

walking directly towards the Two boys, James took out another pair of binoculars and searched for them. "Hey Mike? do you really think they will go out of the forest? I mean if they know the environment around these parts of the forest, that white hair kid could know that we're trying to let them get out of the forest." Mike shrugged "I can tell that the white hair kid has some experience with fighting in battle. but that other kid doesn't know crap about fighting nor this world. he's like a newborn baby when it comes to this world." walking towards a tree in front of him Leon destroys the tree with a small touch." that black haired kid has no experience sure. But he has that warrior class energy that Mike talked about when we were at the capital." Mike got angry and engulfed his fist in blue energy. "I feel like you're attacking me Leon. even though it was your idea to negotiate with them from the start. Look how that turned out at the end. But don't worry, when we catch those Two, the Queen will reward us. And there will be a bonus if we bring them back alive."

somewhere in the middle of the forest Helal was trying to find a good spot to hide and ambush them while Zain was standing guard keeping an eye out for the them. "not good. this area doesn't have any good hiding spots," Zain turned to Helal and asked him if He could just climb a tree and ambush them from up there. "no I can't. if I was trained in the art of archery and stealth it would've been an easy task to take them down without a problem. but I'm a warrior swordsmen, I at the moment can use only swords." Hearing the sound of a tree breaking in the distance Helal quickly realized that the Amuns were not letting them have a moment to breath. "How? we were running for so long and they already caught up to us?" Helal told Zain to keep a cool mind and not freak out. they then started running the opposite way of the sound. "Zain I want to tell you something. Do you remember what happened when that wall of the cabin broke? do you remember that feeling you had?" Zain thought hard and dug deep down into his memories. He then suddenly stops. "what's wrong?" asked Helal. "I don't remember." Helal looked in confusion and asked why he stopped. "I can't remember anything past Three days ago. What is going on?" A green aura suddenly appeared on his head and he passes out as soon as it appeared. "Hey, are you okay?" Helal suddenly hears footsteps running towards them. he picked up Zain and ran whilst still hearing the footsteps getting closer. "(damn it! How are they this close already? It wasn't that long ago we heard that tree break. Plus how can they pinpoint us out when we are this faraway?)" He realizes the aura on Zain's head was getting bigger. "(why is it getting bigger? if it's one of the enemy's energy- no this is not energy this is a magic spell. maybe it get's more powerful the closer you get to the user. if that's the case then we are going straight to them. but what if I'm wrong, what if it's really one of them behind us.)" Helal was conflicted if he choose wrong it will be hard to survive a losing battle. "Screw it!" Helal jumps while running and turns around checking for the enemy's location. He didn't see anyone. Landing on the ground with the wrong foot he trips and falls on the ground. falling out of his shoulder Zain rolls and hit's a tree. Helal quickly gets up and checks around him. those footsteps were gone, and the forest was silent. Helal Hears Zain waking up "My head hurts, what's happening" Helal quickly runs to Zain. the green aura was gone and he looked wide awake. "what happened to you? You suddenly passed out." He helps Zain stand up. "I don't remember but I'm ok now." Helal thought that if this is part of the enemy's skills then they will be in big trouble. He then thought of an Idea. "Zain get your head closer." Zain puts his head closer and Helal holds it from the sides with both his arms. Zain's head suddenly had a yellow aura. Helal releases his hand from Zain's head and puts them on his own. They both had yellow auras on their heads. "what did you do?" Zain inquired. "I put a barrier on our minds so that they can't do that again. if they continue to do cheep tricks like that we'll lose." the yellow aura disappeared from their heads. Zain asked him if that was normal to happen and he said he intended to make them disappear so that the enemy doesn't see them glowing in the dark. "if we keep running we won't be able to win this. we have to stop and face them even if there are more of them than us. so to make sure we have a good chance of winning I'm going to ask you again. Do you remember what happened when that wall of the cabin broke? And that feeling you had when it broke?" Zain smacked his fist and palm together. "yeah I remember, That girl Lisa was punching the air and broke the wall of the cabin." Helal looked let down. "so you weren't the one who had all that blue energy." Zain told Helal that he didn't let him finish. "I did have a moment of burst energy, I think. But what I remember is that my arm muscle powered up and I was able to avoid an attack from her." Helal looked like he was relieved. in the distance the Two boys see three figures walking towards them.

"look Leon it's the little kids that you let escape." Leon and the other two started running to them. "Oh damn it all. Ok let's not waste time talking around let's get out of here!!" they both started running away from them."(we need a plan. But we can't do anything while we're running like this.)" Zain who was running beside Helal turned to him and said "How can you see them? I don't see anyone behind us." Helal then looked behind them and there was the three men running after them. it was at that point that Helal had an idea and remembered something. "(Wait Zain is still new to this world so he still hasn't developed his eye sight yet. At his stage he can only see for about Fifty meters or less. And they are approximately a Hundred and Fifty Meters away. So he can't see them. Plus they haven't seen Zain with his powers. So it would be a surprise to them if they see him with that blue energy in action.) Zain they are running after us and they see us so that means we won't be able to shake them off of us. but don't worry I have a plan." Zain looked at Helal who was smiling, "(He looks like he's sure that his plan will work) ok spit it out and tell me your plan."

"Are they really going to keep running forever" says mike. "They must be running out of breath eventually". The Four of them see a stone wall in front of them. "Get ready there is a dead end up ahead! Do you know what to do?" Zain sighed and said Yes. they both then reach the stone wall. it turned out to be the side of a hill. Thirty Meters high and more than a Hundred meters wide. they then stop and turn around to face the approaching enemies. They enter Zain's view. "They're here!" Helal grips his sword. "Get ready." the three men stop and stood there, in front of them. no one was making a move. "I got that white hair kid." Mike started walking towards them but Leon stopped him. "What are you doing Leon? Why are you stopping me?" Leon had an angry expression on his face. "I'm not gonna let anyone disrespected me like that and live to tell about it." Leon's arm bursted with green energy all the way to his shoulders. Leon started walking towards the Two boys. "Oooh I'm gonna love crushing your bones to ash." Helal chuckled at what Leon said. "Let's see you try." Mike looked at Zain. "Those eyes they are determined to see a mission though and through. *chuckle* James support us from a distance. If we every get hurt heal us right away." James created a green healing energy ball in both his hands. "Don't worry about it. I got your back both of you." Mike stood in front of Zain and Leon stood in front of Helal. "Prepare to Die lowly Humans!!" said Both of the Amuns. "NOW!!" shouted Helal. And the Two boys ran in opposite directions of each other. "What?" Both of the Amuns split up and gone to their respective Human. James was lost to think. "Wha- who do I follow?" Mike shouted at James. "Follow Leon this kid is still new. He doesn't know how to use energy yet. He will be an easy target for me." James nods and goes after Leon. Zain smirked "(You crazy man he actually predicted it.)" Back when they were running away from the Three men. "Wait, what if the plan doesn't work and Two of them run after me" Helal looked straight ahead and told him that was impossible. "All they saw you do was Freeze out of fear back then. So they know that you are not a threat. but they do know that the guy who paralyzed them is a threat. Let's just hope that the muscle man, I think his name was Leon is the one that will be after me." Zain took a deep breath and asked him if the plan doesn't work and he get's himself killed. "No, Don't worry I won't die so easily. As for you take this." Helal gave Zain a Yellow energy ball. Zain asked what the ball was for. "It's a teleporter. It will teleport me to the location that this ball will be thrown at. But it will only work when we are a pretty good distance apart. when we reach that distance it will glow and you will know that it's ready to use." While Zain was running from Mike The ball Glowed. Helal felt that the teleporter was ready to use. "(This is it.)" Zain realized the glow of the ball. "Ok the stage is set. Bring it on Amun."
