Fifteen Journey - Chapter 52
A/N: Not in a good mood today... Only Fifteen Journey can cheer me up...
Chapter 52 – The Double Adversary
It was already time to eat. Although Ashley had that in her mind, she knew that remembering that to everyone would cause her psychological death.
Now, from the signs she should obtain from Mike, their aim wasn’t necessarily defeat Matt, but to keep him busy. Mike still hold the hope Rick could find a way to stop the barrier. But keeping Matt busy and not getting hurt wasn’t easy either. Having the barrier could be very good for him, as he could approach any of them. That was all Mike wanted to avoid.
Rick was back to back with Annya. He never imagined he would be in such a situation.
The silver lady had immensely increased her speed and was striking both teenagers. However, Annya soon got bothered and created herself a bubble so that the attacks would not have any physical effect. Finally, Rick laid down trying to rest.
“This field has magic all over it. We are battling a spell as well.” Annya clarified. “Either is Sloan who has such power or is another player. But, in that case, why would someone be protecting his enemy?”
Rick smiled.
“Is there any way you can stop the spell?”
She smiled as well, still concentrating in keeping that bubble. “If I could know the source of power…”
Rick didn’t wait for anything else. Seeing him lifting up, Annya broke the bubble and Rick advanced again towards Sloan. The silver lady quickly mad her way to him, which was blocked by Annya’s ball attack. Rick’s attack was, once more, stopped by the invisible barrier. However, he was smiling as he attacked.
“Anything?” he shouted.
‘No.’ she thought. Sloan did not hold any magic power.
Was it an object? A particle? Annya didn’t know that kind of magic as she had seen it from the first time now.
“The sky…”
Annya turned backwards. Cassey was staring at her, sure of her words.
“The source, it blocks the sky.” Not bad for a transmission user.
Annya raised her hand and looked with a challenging expression at Sloan. From her hand, a power ball appeared which increased its size as time went by. Cassey was scared, but that was the only chance they had.
At last, the power was freed. It exploded in the air, illuminating the transparent sphere they had been battling in. They fell right inside the trap but, fortunately, they unmasked it in time.
“It’s sparring time!”
Indeed, it was. As soon as Mike found out what had just happened, he charged at Matt. He was trapped. Ashley, using her ribbon, caught him and pushed it harder. Sarith, on the other hand, looked happily at her trophy.
“Looks like the fight is over to you…” she knocked him down using her baton.
Rick immediately commenced the attacks towards Sloan. Both Sheila and the silver lady tried to stop him, but Annya just blasted them. However, Cassey suddenly saw her falling.
“Are you okay?”
“I guess my body is too weak to heal itself. I’m still all dizzy from bleeding in the chest…”
Cassey knew what she had to do. Grabbing a stick, she whistled, catching the silver lady and Sheila’s attention. She quickly charged towards both, and was closely dodged Sheila’s bubble. The silver lady was indeed quickly, so Cassey was already in the ground in the third attack. However, she stood up and cleaned the blood from the corner of her mouth.
“This has just started…”
The silver lady was caught by Ashley’s ribbon, unable to move. Sheila, who was running to the place where Sloan and Rick were sparring, was surprised by Sarith who jumped right in front of her and directed her baton to Sheila’s neck. That way, Sheila could not attack or she would also be trapped in the bubble.
Rick, busy fighting, didn’t notice the place where he was now. As Sloan jumped backwards for a little pause, Rick could not recognise that place. He was still in Tourch, inside the woods, but he was not close to the place where his friends were.
“Reckless as always, Flaim…”
Suddenly, Sloan disappeared into the woods. Rick first thought of following but that was probably exactly what Sloan probably wanted. So, grabbing Thynia, Rick waited for his opponent’s attack.
Sloan reappeared in Rick’s back, pulling him by his neck, which was enabling him to breath.
“Stop… this…”
But Sloan was truly enjoying it. Rick had to let go Thynia from his hand, to try to free himself, which proven to be a quite difficult task. While he was trying to think of some technique to free himself, Rick felt Sloan touching in his arm, as in testing his strength. However, he was violently dragged to Rick’s front as Rick applied his strength. And grabbing his sword, Rick attacked Sloan, making him multiples scratches. Thynia, even all dirty, was motivated and was shining with a magical light. Finally, Rick ended with his sword directed at Sloan’s chest.
“Give up.”
Sloan grinned. “I do.”
Rick noticed Sloan’s hands moving towards his pocket but he wasn’t able to escape from the cloud of dust that Sloan created with the powder he had in his pocket.
Why had Sloan given up that easily?
Rick wasn’t able to answer this question as he collapsed in the green floor.
