Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: A Violent Clash!

Leona told Tigre a brief version of the story of what happened to her village and that they were all slaughtered by Toro.

"What? That's impossible! My grandfather is an honorable man, he would never do such a thing!" Tigre responded.

"I found the story hard to believe, but you heard her tell the story, do you think that she's lying?" Ren said. Tigre was silent in response. "I didn't think so either. The reason I'm helping her is because I want to find the truth for myself."

"Regardless of whether your story is true or not, the fact is that I can't let you kill my grandfather. Not that you could actually do it in the first place." Tigre responded.

"If you truly want us to give up on our mission then you could actually help us. You are high up in the Vercheg Navy, you can realistically do some digging to find out the truth." Ren told him.

Tigre seemed to think over Ren's words for a moment. "I honestly don't think that you are bad people, rather I think that you two have a certain sense for justice. That being said I absolutely cannot help people who are after the life of my grandfather."

"I understand." Ren said as he and Leona left.

"What are we going to do now? We can't just let that guy go." Leona said.

"You're right, we're going after him." Ren responded.

"That's a little unexpected coming from you. Aren't you the one who always says that we should avoid unnecessary trouble." Leona said, she was a bit surprised to hear Ren seem so eager to head towards a fight.

"That's true, but sometimes it's necessary to get into some trouble. This just happens to be one of those times."

Leona smiled and punched her fist into her hand. "I totally agree. Let's go give that jerk a beating! Although, he did totally kick our butts the first time we fought. Maybe we should come up with some sort of plan or something."

"You're actually thinking? Now you're the one acting out of character." Ren said while avoiding a retaliatory attack from Leona. "You don't have to worry about it. I'm not going to hold back anymore. I'll crush that guy."

Leona didn't quite believe that Ren had the strength to actually defeat Violence, but he seemed so confident in the moment that she didn't say anything.

"The question is how do we find the guy?"

"I actually did some digging beforehand and apparently he usually stays at an abandoned space station that orbits around here." Ren said. "We have to try to get there before Tigre does."

The two left as quickly as possible and managed to make it to the station that Violence had turned into his makeshift headquarters. They didn't have an exact location on Violence so they split up to look for him.

"Be careful, this guy is dangerous." Ren said to Leona.

"Yeah same to you." Leona replied as she extended her hand for a fist bump.

"If you're in trouble then just shout for me. I'll come and rescue you." Ren said teasingly.

"That should be my line." Leona replied with a smile.

While the two were separately searching they both eventually found a door that they heard someone behind. They knew that there were at least two people in the station, Violence and the woman who picked him up. Though neither knew which one would be behind the door they were about to open.

"I know that Ren seemed confident, but he can't handle this guy. I should be the one to fight him." Leona thought as she opened the door.

"I know that I'm the only one who stands a chance against him. That's why I have to be the one who fights him." Ren thought as he opened the door in front of him.
