Chapter 10 - Chapter 9-Broken Connections

Okara's eyes brighten, as he forces himself to stand slowly. Steam hastily boiling from the sides of his mouth.

"Everyone be careful! Somethings not right here!", "He's gone insane!", "What the hell is he?!"

People began running away from Okara as he began unconditionally unleashing enormous amounts of energy. The buildings around him crack and shatter from his pressure, the ground below him cratering as he stands in place. Immediately a group of elites surrounded him attempting to take him.

"Low Class! You are here by under restrain of the royal code seven six eight! Destruction of a settlement and unleashing your power within settlement limits!"

Without thinking Okara's body leaped at one of the elites grabbing hold of their head and slamming them into the ground. The ones nearby aimed their hands at him and attempted to fire at him. But within a flash, Okara vanished and took two more out with immeasurable speed.

"S-Someone tell us what his Power Level is!"

People began using their scopers! "3,425!", "4,526", "6,968!","HIS POWER KEEPS INCREASING!"

"T-This isn't possible! WE CAN'T WIN AGAINST THIS! WE NEED THE PRINCE OR EVEN THE KING!"

Suddenly an abrupt sigh appeared from behind them.

"You guys look like you could use some help!"

"W-Who are you guys?!"

"We're just some elites that excel compared to most."

"Well, you better get out of here before this guy gets a hold of you! He's taken out three of us so far and he's still rampaging like it's nothing!"

"You don't need to worry, judging by my knowledge of situations like this. He'll slowly begin wearing himself soon enough."

"Root's right, eventually this guy will start getting sluggish. Then that's when you guys can jump in. But for now. All of you need to step back and let us handle this."

"By us he means himself." Pasley smiles as she holds her hands together.

"By all means, I don't have to step in, especially when it comes to him." Matoto smirked as he held Rota.

Everyone watched as Crimson walked towards the rampaging Okara. He was loosening his joints as he prepared for the monstrous being.

"You know what, now that I'm getting a good look at you. I'm starting to recall, four years ago... You're Okara the one brat who cried during his fight."

"Wait seriously?! That's him! HA, HA, HA!" Matoto laughed along with Rota as they recall it as well.

"Oh, that's surprising you remembered that Crimson."

"It was hard to forget, especially when we're a race of fierce warriors. I thought how could a baby come from such a thing."

"That's kinda harsh don't you think Crimson?" Pasley asks with worry in her throat.

"It may be, but we never know when we'll meet our maker. So we need as many strong people as we can muster."

"..."

"..."

"Enough talk let's go you crazy monster."

Crimson's eyes dimmed as he got serious, Okara locking onto him as his anger unleashed more of the Animus.

"Did he get stronger? I better be careful."

Okara slammed his hands into the ground and gripped holes in place of his fingers, allowing him to launch himself towards Crimson.

"Don't fight him here! TAKE IT OUT OF THE SETTLEMENT!"

"We planned on it!"

Crimson turned and dashed off into the air. Causing Okara to miss him and go toward Pasley and the rest of them.

"Well, then it seems I'll have to hold you back a bit," Matoto smirks as he prepares to clash against Okara.

"OUT OF THE WAY!"

Crimson barrels inwards, slamming Okara's head into the ground with his feet.

"Get out of here quickly!"

Crimson's friends began evacuating along with the elites. Allowing Crimson to grab hold of Okara's legs and launch him away from the settlement.

As Crimson leaped towards Okara he flew into him immediately and continued dragging him through the sky. Okara raged as Crimson tried to hold on, his back getting beaten by Okara's elbows and fists. His stomach getting kneed into repeatedly.

"Screw it, we're far enough!"

Crimson gave up holding onto Okara and instantly launched him to the ground below.

Okara slams into the ground and simultaneously Crimson comes darting in with his right foot aimed at Okara. Immediately followed by a collision into the ground. As the dust kicks up, Crimson and Okara are nowhere to be seen. Until Crimson comes flying out of the dust cloud out of nowhere. Followed by a running Okara, his footsteps leaving footprints in the ground as he tries to reach Crimson.

"This guys insane! I need to make sure I'm sharp..."

As Crimson lands, he looks up and sees Okara narrowing in on him. With no words, he stands up and rushes him as well. As they close in on each other, Okara begins teleporting wildly around Crimson.

"W-What is this!? I've never seen moves like-!"

Instantly from the back of his head, Crimson feels a hand grab hold of him. But as his body gets forced to the ground. He prevents his head from being slammed into it. Using his knees and his hands as resistance. With resolve, Crimson uses his legs with momentum and donkey kicks Okara away from him. As Okara stumbles back, Crimson turns with his fist lit up with ki. Driving it into Okara's sternum. However to no avail, Crimson looked up at Okara with his hair covering his face. Okara quickly fell to his knees as blood burst from his mouth.

"Sorry, but I couldn't let this go on any longer."

Crimson steps back and lets Okara fall to the ground. But soon after Crimson falls to his butt. With one last look at Okara, he notices tears slowly falling from his eyes.

"..."

Crimson sighed and thought about what to do.

"Damn it, I've gotta do whatever it takes to keep my reputation."

Crimson stands and grabs hold of Okara's arm, dragging him back towards the settlement and the castle so that he may be captured and restrained.
