Thread: Bounty Hunters Part II: The New Era

"So we're going there to learn more about what Black Shadow's planning." Eric said.

"How to stop them?" Eleanore asked, slowly spinning around in her chair.
-------
"I'm already being executed? Damn, you guys don't waste any time, huh?" Evan asked.

"Yes." Klay nodded his head at Eric and Eleanor.

"That's basically it really." Sakura nodded her head at the two before turning to Jack, Stephanie and Brine. "So the mist only clears once every 2 years and that date is in three weeks." Sakura explained "So what did you want to tell us?" she turned to Reese.

"There's something I didn't finish telling you." Reese ndoded his head. 'As I told Klay's group when they were at Death Mountain, Klay's mother is still alive and she's living in the Beast Archipelago."

Klay nodded his head, he still felt shocked to find out that he did have a mother, even after all thsoe years he had spent being raised and being told he didn't. "She lives iin the same island where the Tree of Knowledge is located and she will give you the answers you seek." he explained and pointed at Klay's hand. "The ones regarding the mark on your hand and what it is, this also has to do with the True Warrior at the end of the day." he smiled. "Also, don't worry about Evan, I'm sure he'll be fine."

"No you're not." the man said to Evan as they appeared inside of a rain forest. 'It's been a long time since we've seen each other." he said, standing at the entrance of a large castle made out of stone. The man lifted his hood, revealing the long black colored colored hair that fell to his neck and covered hsi ears, he had a pair of black colored eyes and a scar on the left side of his neck. "It's me Schwarz." he grinned. "Nice to see you again Evan."

"I think we can do it, we gotten this far, we can make it the rest of the way" Stephanie murmured mostly to herself as she listened, she wondered exactly what enemies she would fight on the journey there.

"...uhm fine have fun being hunted down later then." Mark said confused but still running, "oh and parting gift."

the shatterwings went off and so did the car bombs.

"You still bored feel free to leave."

OOC: We already skipped like three pages ago.

"So that's that really." Klay nodded his head before looking down at the floor. He really was feeling static now that he knew he had a chance to actually meet his mother. He then thought back to the events that had happened that day and sighed. "This day has been long and it's still the middle of the morning."

Jakku stood up from the corner of the room.
He lit a cigarette, and left for the bridge.

Shimo entered the room, yawning softly.
She began thumbing through Evan's magic deck.
...This feels so wrong...

"So what are your thoguhts on this?" Klay asked as he walked alongside Jakku.

"I think Evan did a brave thing."
Jakku said shortly, rounding a corner.
"I also think three weeks is too long a wait, but what can we do...?"
He turned to Klay.
"Permission for leave? I have something I must do, just in case."

"You can leave if you tell me what it is." Klay said as he turned to look at Jakku. He grinned. "Sorry but after Evan I just can't let my right hand man leave like that, I'll need you more now after all."

Jakku shook his head.
"Perhaps another time."
He said softly.

Klay just stared at Jakku for a moment and chuckled. He raised his hand and pointed at Jakku with his fist. "Kaiser and I used to do this whenever we had to separate for some reason, like a symbol that the person will come back." he pointed out. "Don't take too long, okay bro?"

"I will be back within the week."
Jakku nodded.
He hesitated.
He pulled a handsign, and another Jakku appeared.

The other Jakku nodded at Klay as the first left.
"I will remain here."

"You just ruined that moment." Klay sighed and lwoered his fist. "But okay. I understand."

Almost three weeks have passed since the fight in Central City. It had now been known to the world about what had happened with the Slayers as well as Evan's escape shortly after being taken from the Guild. While all this happened the Rebellion had increased their influence on the world by helping out anonymously, neither siding with the Rogues or the BHA and instead protecting unskilled humans solely.

"So anyway I think that one of the problems with the current world is the Skill Users to begin with." Klay was watching an interview on the TV about the current events in the world. "I mean first of all they pretty much just make everything harder for us normal people, we are not born with abilities like they are and we have to work for everything we want they on the other hand can just use whatever power they have without trying and frankly it stinks." the man explaied and shrugged.

"If you ask me the fact that all this happened already reinforces the fact that the BHA is just a thing of the past, they should deal with these kinds of problems and stop them from happening, I mean if a problem like this goes uncheck then the crowd without powers will just run even more danter. Frankly, if you ask me I think the Rebellion is right on one thing, at least their using their abilities and resources to protect us not for their selfish needs like the Rogues and neither do they just sit on their butts and let things go undone like the BHA."

"As for these Slayers of whatever, if they have caused so many problems, I don't think suspension is..." at that point Klay turned the TV on, he staring at it bitterly.

"What happened to the saturday cartoons." he stated drly and leaned back against the couch. "We're leaving in two days, at least the suspension allowed us to prepare for the trip."

Over the last couple of weeks the A Division of the Slayers had been put through a harsh training session as well as sparring sessions, because theyw ould be fighting against powerful creatures in the Beast Archipelago they needed to be ready.

The first Jakku Ebansu entered the base covered in scratches and bruises.
He smiled faintly, and his clone looked up, before vanishing.
"Apologies for my lateness."
He said shortly.

Shimo entered the room, noticed the new Jakku, and swore at him.
Two weeks late?! Really?!
She growled, then sat at the couch.

"Shimo calm down." Klay said and looked at the girl. 'There's no reason to be bitter, what matters is that he made it in time." he nodded his head and turned to Jakku. "You came back at a good time."
