Zjjan Master

Chapter 93



Crewl vs Gaile, The Greed and Impatience

Intro: At the current night, in a dim room, clashing sound of metals resonances while sparks of small lights jump spreading and disappearing, from the clenching weapons each wielded by the missy Ritzel and her mother Taila. The missy swings her other fake iron sword. To her mother's body, it crosses without brake. Noticing the quick fading image of her mother's body, the missy, her forward foot position changes. With her stance about-faces, her other fake iron sword has blocked her mother's attack.

Taila speaks, "I can't restrain your body with my psychic now. But you're overdoing yourself. You're freshly wounded, my dear. There is no point doing this again. You can't land a hit."

"I'll not gonna stop. Until, until I'm suitable enough to handle a hostage crisis." She shoves her mother sword and she attacks with the other sword. "Until my strength can able to save someone." Missing her attack, she distances herself. Imagine a force that isn't so sharp. She swings her sword, sending out a sharp ghastly pressure in the air. A sudden thunder bursts. I did it. Moment later, her mother appears smiling happily.

"That's dangerous my dear. I could die if not with my psychic barrier."

Into the floor, Ritzel falls with her knees. This is. This is... She cries. "What should I do mom. How can I protect the people around me? How can I?"

"Making that power yours will take time. Beside, fighting and showing your strength won't help you save someone. You have to surmise the situation of what you are capable to do. Some people are merciless. Others are prone to agitated. The more reason you should be careful on your decision. You better craft that power capable to a situation you are able to experience, my dear."

"Mom..."

"Come on now. We are an assassin, a killer. Why are you crying?"

"Huh?" She remembers the red-eyes beauty, Doresa, her words, You have changed. She has stood. "Let me experience this, mom. To be able to save someone. Teach me how."

"Very well. Come along on us, tomorrow. The shadow army shall evacuate the citizen carefully in the silent. We in the third division shall be rescuing people. Agree?"

She nods and replies, "Aye!"

—End of intro

Flashback to when Amono helped Jaino to escape from Kilie in Deep Forest 03: Thundering and rainfall, the darkening gray cloud remains in the beginning of evening. Inside the dark deep forest, escaping, Amono, on board on his running reptile, gazes at the children, riding on his other reptile. He looks behind. Dammit, some of those people catch up. One of the chasing armed men has fallen down. Suddenly braking, those reptiles their feet are digging the ground while they're upholding their balance. Amono his hands he holds tightly to his reptile. The children have done the same to their mounted one. The reptiles, their forceful braking has made them stopped, nearly slammed in the walling earth.


Finally caught up, the armed people surround them.

We're cornered huh. Amono commands his other reptile. Blazing fire archly scorches the surrounding area, barring their pursuers. This won't last long due to the rain. One of the armed men speaks at his companion,

"I'm unable to suppress them with my psychic. Probably he's a saiyk or he possesses a reptile with similar capability. That should be the reason."

One of his companions bends a bow with an arrow. "Let see if it's true." The fired arrow bounces, veers while it spins in the air, and lands to the ground. Scrutinizing for solution, those pursuers are so fixated at the cornered chased, surrounded by fire and their concluded psychic barrier.

A reptile scuds and headbutts a man. That man flies colliding to the remaining three people, landing into the ground. Amono, his mounted reptile breathes a heavy dense of cold mist, freezing those four people.

Nice mate, has thought by Amono. Now is the chance. We should resume our escape. —A sudden bang halts his movements. Shattering land fragments blow away. He gazes at to where the children. Frighteningly, hideously, the vicious sight crumbles his will. His anger boils his blood fast in his vain. No. No. He pierces on my reptile's psychic. This can't be happening. He clenches his fist. His emotion overruns his thoughts. Explain this... explain this... His eyes wide open. He recognizes the voice,

"Grr... I finally catch up.. rrr... Hell is your destiny... rrr... You should not involve yourself on us... rrr... we in the underworld," has said by a wolf, who has crushed Jena in the newly hollowed surface of wall. Shaking and terrified, the boy hesitantly gazes at her sister, bleeding in the head. And bleeding on her waist and ribs where the wolf's paw with sharp claws is exhorting her onto the wall surface.

Tears, tears flows down from the boy eyes. He mumbles, "Jena." He screams, "Jena!!" His sorrowful voice echoes through the rain. "No... this can't be happening. No!!"

The wolf throws Jena's body. Amono jumps down and runs to the girl's direction. The wolf grins showing satisfactory. The reptile— that the shocked boy is mounted —runs away. Amono catches Jena's body. He rolls onto the ground and he sits. Two of his fingers he puts to her neck. No pulse that he feels. Anger runs allover himself. "This can't be happening." He hugs the child. The blood sullies his white cloak. The rain covers his tears. He remembers his conversation with Jaino, on their teens,

"Jaino. We should chase them. That's the best solution that I found. We can use every power of the kingdom. Our pursueds are criminal after all. We can end their cruelty by making a step forward. We have our greatest asset, the third."

"Amono. To what we are now. We won't stand a chance. We will just bring harm to our families, relatives, our closest friends."

"But this is too much. Look Jaino. How many people must suffer and die by their foolishness. We just need to act."

"Amono. By the time comes... when we encounter one of them, we must fight with all we can. Focus. Don't divert your eyes. You— everything that you could do —do it without hesitation."

With haste, the huge wolf leaps at the shocked and frighten boy. A reptile scuds and headbutts at it, crushing into the wall. Boulders fall from above. Heavy dust spreads in the area. The clearing view projects the reptile angrily shoving its head compressing the huge wolf to the broken surface of wall.

Amono places Jena in the ground. His hand he cuddles on her head. He smiles of grief. He stands and walks. He stares at where his opponent, the huge wolf, pushing the head of his reptile. That wolf starts mutating, transforming its body into a very huge bear. He throws that reptile slamming into the tree.

Amono speaks, "Having a multiple transformation, you're quite an exceptional. And for you to pierce inside my reptile's psychic barrier, you too is a sorse. Now I understand. I should have fight you from the very start." He unsheathes his bolo.

"Grr, you know how to analyze. The more dangerous of you for us if you remain alive."

"Well, you are immune to some few constraining. However, you are still vulnerable about the scorching of fire, the crystallizing of ice, and physically damage."

The reptile puts down the boy near his sister. The boy sits and holds her shoulders. Shaking her, he speaks, "Jena wake up! Jena, wake up! Jena! Jena!" Uncontrollably, his shoulders shake. He hugs his sister. "Live Jena. Brother is here. Please."

Away from the boy, that reptile runs and opens its mouth. The gathering ball of lightning it throws to the bear. That huge bear evades the attack and evades another attack. Amono speaks "You sure are elusive."

"Gr, speak that back at you. Able to control four rengazardos at once. You had overcome some forbidden rites, are you not?" Another ball of lightning has flown from the rage reptile. The huge bear jumps and rolls.

"I got you," has said by Amono.

The huge bear realizes, the shadow looming behind him—

The boy, Jena's brother gazes and listen at Amono who speaks to his opponent, "This is your payment for not stopping about your foolish ambition."

—Behind the huge bear is a reptile. It breathes cold mist, surrounding him, decaying his movements, and icing its body.

"For the victims that you used for experiment," has spoken by Amono. The boy gazes at the lightning balls that now accurately hits the decelerated huge beast.

"For those innocents that you involves in illegal dealings." Amono orders another reptile. That reptile showers its scorching breath to the paralyzed yet alive huge bear.

"And lastly for, this boy's sister that you took away from him." Hearing those words, the boy cries.

"Jena..."

The last reptile rampageously dashes. Scudding without break that reptile headbutts and crushes that huge bear into the wall.

Amono speaks, "I will be the light that illuminates the darkness." The memories keep falling on his mind. I just barely meet these children. They were just so cheerful after Jaino had saved them. They were so cheerful after they meet Kilie. They were so cheerful around me. They were so warm to me. Until this happened. To the boy crying and where Jena's body lying, Amono gazes at. I'm sorry. I have failed my task.

The boy mumbles, "Sis... Sis..." He hums. "Jena..." His shoulders shake. "Sir, Amono... Is she alive?" His question turns Amono's lips cold. "Sir? Answer me... Tell me..."

Amono clenches his fist. He sheathes his bolo. I had just encouraged you earlier. How can I answer you the truth?—when I is such a failure to protect you. Dammit, dammit. I can't say a word. I'm sorry.

Those reptiles surround them. Mourning on Jena lying in the ground, the reptile, who's fun of her, caresses its nose on her cheek.

The rain pours down heavy. Thundering roars in the sky.

The crumbling of rubble has stolen Amono's attention. He gazes at the mutation of the huge bear, in agony. "Still alive are you?" Oh, right. He's a sorse. Could it be... that his body is recovering still?

The burnt body, full of wounds, mutates. Its meats bubble, grow, and multiply. Its rapid formation turns itself to a giant, twice the size of the huge bear, its previous form. Having the four arms, the giant screams a loud. Its muscles are projecting its strength. It speaks loudly, "Now, you should witness. The reality of our experiment by which you called foolishness, the strength of the strongest. Among outside the underworld, you are the first to encounter. The life that everybody had costed, our form."

"Impossible," has mumbled by Amono. How can we beat the thing? There's no way we could beat that thing. What should I do...?

Feeling frighten, the boy gazes at Amono. Helpless... Seeing the giant, his hope begins fading. The child, the cold sorrow overwhelms his heart and the rain camouflage his tears. In his thoughts, Someone, please save us...

The giant gazes at in the other parts above the trees. Seeing at faraway the shadow of the huge serpent nearing slowly, he speaks, "Now, let's finished this fight. I have other business to take care of." The giant swings its foot.

Amono covers his face. A reptile shields its body. Receiving the blow, that reptile cries in agony while its perseverance is holding itself to be immovable. Its feet crushes the ground. It manages to stop the attack. Amono's tears flows from his eyes. Inside his thoughts, It's do or die huh. I'll believe with you my friends. The friends that I grow with. Still holding the attack, the reptile bites the giant's ankle. Another reptile blows a chilling mist freezing the other foot of the giant. Being taunted, the giant punches that reptile, slamming it into a tree. Another reptile showers its fire breath to the giant's thorax. The giant holds that reptile's head, ending the stream of fire. To the wall, it slams that reptile. The last reptile consecutively throws two lightning balls into the giant's face. Those lightning balls shock the giant's body. A loud scream erupts from the place. The giant falls. Its back has slammed loudly at the wall of earth.

Amono thinks, Now, how should I stop its regeneration. Groaning in agony, the fire-breathing reptile struggles to stand. "Please stop," has said by the worried Amono. "You will perish if you force yourself." Noticing the struggling ice-breathing reptile stands up, Amono speaks, "You too? But if that is your wish, I'll be missing you guys. Thank you, my friends." A loud cry from the injured rampant reptile echoes through the rain. "Also you?" Those three reptiles gaze back at him and have stood proudly. "I shall remember you my friends."

"What are they doing sir?" has asked by the curious boy.

"They. will. save. us."

At the ruined giant, the fire-breathing reptile showers massively its flame, burning the giant's body to a maximum capability. The flamethrower has stopped. On its last expelled flame, the reptile shuts its eyes. Its body grows weary and falls, prostrating in to the ground. The ice-breathing reptile expels out the huge dense of cold mist, freezing the ruined giant. And its last breath, the reptile acquires its eternal respite. The last reptile charges to the maximum speed. Shattering the cold shards, breaking the ice, ramming the giant, that reptile's double-edged assault bangs aloud. The impact hallows the surface of wall.

Moment has passed. The long awaited result of observation induces the wary Amono to conclude, "Kid, we survive." Seeing the poor boy's state, he asks, "I'm sorry to what happen to your sister. Forgive me."

"Sir... What should I do... She isn't waking up..."

"Child. We have to find a way for her to rest. A place where you can visit her every day. A place where we can pray for her. I'm sure she'll be happy. We should give her one. Won't you agree?"

The boy gazes at her sister. Slowly, he nods. To Jena, he speaks, "Jena... my sister..."

"Come, let's go." —In a sudden, Amono groans in pain. His hand he puts to his stomach. A huge pointed object, like a stake, is protruding. Forcefully he moves forward. He falls to the ground. The boy is frighten. The sight overwhelms himself, seeing the giant's body mutating again. Absorbing the three reptiles, its recovery speeds up. The pointed object, that has stabbed Amono, retracts to the mutating body. The mutation overgrows. Its evolution comes forth a force, gravitating the surrounding, rendering— the last reptile, Amono, and the boy —their movements.

In a hoarse voice, "This person, this person is a monster," has mumbled by Amono. "Boy... boy... if you have the time... run... And if you meet Jaino... Tell him, he's the best ever friend that I had... Also... if you meet my love... tell her... tell... her... take care of Shi... rul... doun..." His last breath gives up his life, establishing despair to the boy's consciousness.

At the completion of evolution, the behemoth huge face gazes at the rain clouds. Its body with grayish skin is forming like a huge fat wobbling jar. Onto its skin, it has the unopen shutters of hundred eyes. Its many solid tentacles act as arms. One tentacle raises upward. In the air it revolves. To Amono it aims. And it stabs. The bloods are scattering. The sight overwhelms the boy, shivering in silent.

Aloud voice thunders in the place, "Ha ha ha ha. I'm the strongest. I feel myself that I surpass my boss, the lord of the underworld. Now, the only left, the missing piece, is the life of immortality. You people are just a pebble. Ha ha ha ha."

The boy mumbles, "Someone... please save me..."
