Chapter 11 - 8. Valborn's Rage

"VALBORN!" Zane yelled.

Valborn turned and gave a glare towards Zane "YOU DID THIZ!" Valborn dropped the best man and walked towards Zane while grabbing his whip. "I WILL KILL YOU!" Valborn let his magical pressure run wild, his skin was now fully metallic and his body was covered in electricity.

Zane new he couldn't hold back, the pressure he was feeling almost made his knees buckle. "I'm going to destroy that whip!" Zane let his emotions run free turning his negative energy into power. His black hair was now white, his skin was darkness and his clothes also changed white and black.

Valborn looked at him in disbelief "How do you have Ozar's ability.?"

"You'll see." Zane pushed energy into his legs and jumped towards Valborn but stopping inches away for a few seconds, gaining confusion from Valborn. Zane spun counterclockwise toward the orcs left and then giving him a powerful right hook to the face, sending him flying into a bolder. "Haven't really fought like this in awhile, my footwork has gotten sloppy." Zane said smugly while preparing for a counterattack.

"AHHH!!" The orc yelled in anger as he tore himself from the now cracked boulder. Valborn gripped his whip while bringing it back then sending it towards Zane with a sound that broke the sound barrier.

Zane let it strike him, which in turn almost sent him flying but was caught by it instead. Valborn brought it back sending Zane up and then he struck it down towards the ground sending Zane crashing into it with a loud crash and dust. Valborn grind while trying to pull his whip back but couldn't. 'What?' The orc thought to himself. When the dust settled he noticed a perfectly fine Zane with the whip wrapped around his left arm. "FINE!" Valborn twitched his hand which triggered the metal spikes to stab out, but was even more surprised by a loud ear screeching noise of metal on metal.

Zane gave a wicked smile. "Told you I'd destroy this whip!" Zane forced his black and white energy down the whip incinerating it. Zane then pointed his right hand with his hand shaped like a gun towards Valborn, and let out a powerful white and black bolt of lightning.

"WHAT? HOW?" Valborn yelled before being struck in the chest by it and in turn being sent back into the boulder from before, and this time turning it to pebbles and dust. This time the orc didn't get back up, his skin was scorched black and white. Valborn was still conscious but unable to move "W-what are y-you?"

"Doesn't matter, what does is Ozar?" Zane stood over Valborn and pit his foot on his chest. "Where is he going?"

"You can just kill me, I'm not saying any..... ARHHHHHH!!" Valborn yelled in pain as Zane had his black and white energy fused foot on his chest.

"TELL ME?" Zane ordered.

Valborn for some reason couldn't resist his order no matter how hard he tried. "I-I wo- won't.... He i-is heading east to the great Orc city "Galkord". He will kill yo...." Zane drove his hand through his chest and replenished his energy.

Zane looked around at the aftermath of the fight. The dead bodies of the four that had fought Valborn and his explosive fight. At the corner of his eye he noticed movement, it was the beast man that had wounded Valborn. "Still alive?"

--------------------

"All clear, let's start getting people out!" Cross ordered a few soldier from his regiment.

"Cross, how is everything going?"

Cross turned around and was surprised to see a perfectly fine Zane, except for his previous wounds and a unconscious beast man. "The Orc's had all either been defeated or ran away. We are gathering up the civilians that can't survive with out help, and some have already left." Cross gave Zane a worried look. "So kid, going after Ozar?"

Zane shook his head. "I have no choice, once he finds out about this he'll probably kill Monica and Anna." Zane sighed.

Cross looked at the group of people slowly building up getting ready to leave. "I would go with you but as you can see I have a responsibility to uphold."

"I understand, can you take this guy he tried fighting Valborn and this is the outcome." Zane set him on the ground.

"Yeah, also take this." A light appeared around Cross's hand as a black cloak appeared which he then threw it at his face.

Zane looked at his body only now just realizing his shirt was completely gone "Good luck and.... thanks for everything." Zane put out his hand.

Cross grabbed his hand "I should be thanking you.... One more thing, if you do succeed, come back here and then head south west and you will find a small village outside the Dark Region. Good luck, Zane."

Zane walked out the east entrance of the once un-escapable " Bleak Rock." "I need to move fast." Zane whispered to himself as he sent electricity throughout his body and propelled himself forward as fast as lightning.

--------------------

"What will you do with us?" Monica said with a tired expression with Anna shaking in her arms.

Ozar gave a mischievous grin. "You will be my gifts for a certain individual."

"No...please let us go!" Anna whimpered.

Monica shivered "But you--"

"HAHAHAHAHA, You thought I was going to keep you around? No, I have no interest in "HUMAN" women." The Orc glared at them. "That boy will die, I only needed information about the origin of you two." Ozar put his hand up out of his carriage.

The carriage was black and green with some white and looked like a dome. It had a Komodo dragon like lizard pulling it. Ozar's carriage was in between two other basic carriages with 10 Orcs In each with thick black armor. In front of the carriages was about 20 Orcs marching in a staggered column, with at least 12 Orcs on the backs of giant lizards. In the back was another carriage with a cage that was once empty now with the two girls. Behind the carriage was another 20 Orcs.

"What will happen to us?" The shaken Anna spoke.

"I don't know." The grey haired monotone girl brought her knees to her chest and held her head down concealing her face shedding tears for the first time in years.
