Sora walked up to the other four and summoned them all, raising his summoning count to 7/15.
"Damn, I am already halfway to the amount of summons I can have. The other four were all Rank F and had no skills, but they are still my loyal immortal spirit soldiers."
Levy looked on in disbelief. She could have beaten the five, but not like this. It would have taken her a lot more time. Yet the boy in front of her had just done it in no time, and then he resurrected them like he was some kind of godly figure who had control over death. He reminded her of her father, a one-man army, but this kid could actually have a loyal army. For the first time, maybe ever, she felt something called hope. If he were on their side, maybe they had a chance to free the Oykot Kingdom from its misery and dire future, thoughts flew through Levy's mind.
"So, what is your plan now, kid? Are you staying here or leaving for Dawn Island?" she asked.
"Hmm, probably go back to Dawn Island. I just need to get a ship. I bet these guys had one since they came here somehow."
"Wait, Kid, do you know how to navigate? What if you get lost in the sea again?"
"Then I get lost at sea, ha-ha. I mean, I would like a navigator. Do you know anyone here who would want to help me?"
"Well, you are in luck, kid, I happen to be a great navigator."
"What, you want to be my navigator then? Why do I feel like that is not all you want?"
"Yeah, I would love to be your navigator, but I also want to free the people in Oykot from the slavers."
Sora looked at her and closed his crimson eyes, falling deep into thought, catching Levy a bit off guard with how focused he seemed. Then they finally opened, and he took a deep breath and slowly let it out.
"All right. I have decided to help you out, but I am not a fool. I know how powerful slavers are and probably have government support, and currently, I am no match for the people in the government. If we take down this island regime and free the people, some people might become free, but they will come after us like relentless dogs, no matter where we might try to hide."
"Here I thought you were just an ignorant kid who knew nothing about the world."
"I probably know more about the world than you, hehe," Sora said with a somber face.
"Hmm, so does that mean you are not going to help us, since you are scared of the government?"
"Scared?! Who?"
"You."
"Listen here, Levy. I am cautious of the government, but never would I fear scum who think they are better than someone else just because they were lucky, because they were born on top of a mountain."
"Top of the mountain? What are you talking about?" Levy asked with a confused look.
Sora looked at her and smiled.
"One day you will understand, but let us go rescue as many people as possible from this open-air prison."
"Haha, are you really even a kid, and wow, you would be willing to help!" She jumped and picked him up, and started bouncing up and down.
"Oye, do not just pick me up. Let me down! Stop treating me like a kid!"
She did not listen; her dreams felt a little closer.
Sora fell into more thoughts. "I wonder if I will be able to save them before the government comes."
They reached back to base; everyone was surprised to see them come back without even a scratch on them.
"Everyone, gather up. I have important news to tell everyone." Yelled Levy.
The sun had fully risen, and no clouds covered the small island. The flowers and trees were in full bloom all around them, giving them some sense of hope in the air.
"Guys, we are going back to Oykot Kingdom and rescuing everyone," Levy yelled.
Rock stepped forward with a confused look.
"What the hell are you talking about, Levy? The leader wanted us to leave and go ask another kingdom or the Marines for help before coming back, for all those people who gave up their lives for us to even get this far. I am disappointed in you, Levy. I thought you were smarter than—"
Levy smacked him on his head before he could finish.
"Let me finish, you dimwit, you know I would never forget the mission given to us by the Leader! But I found our help."
"Really? Is it the Marines from Logue town or someone from the Goa Kingdom?"
"No."
"Then who?"
Levy slowly turned her head towards Sora.
Sora looked at Rock and smiled, then waved his hand. Flashes of Yakko, the huge tiger being summoned, ran through Rock's mind. He gulped down the spit stuck in his mouth and took a deep breath. Then he walked up to Sora with a stern look in his eyes and asked:
"Can we trust you with our lives?"
"Yes."
