Chapter 15 - Chapter 13 - Fight in Flight

Jorri Jason was bringing Queen Malina to her room. They both hadn't said anything, walking quietly in the long-glassed hallway shimmering with moonlight, making their shadows longer. The walk, which felt like a lifetime, slowly came to an end. Queen could see her maids waiting in line and guards standing in various places. She stood in front of her room and bowed slightly, saying, "Thank you, Jorri, for everything," clearly saying for today and for all these years. Jorri didn't say anything, just nodded, accepting whatever she gave.

As Jorri was about to turn, suddenly he felt some heaviness in his head but he still overcame it soon. But when he turned to see the Queen—Thuddd! Clannkkk! Claannkk! Thudd! THudd! Cllannnkk! THudd!!—he heard several people falling down.

Huh? He was shocked at the sight where many people suddenly lost their footing. The maids all fell down and couldn't properly move, but still some were able to stabilize themselves and were kneeling. The guards, on the other hand, were better off after experiencing sudden heaviness.

The Queen, now on the ground, stabilized herself with her hand shaking. She looked up towards Jorri, saying in a trembling voice, "Yyy... mmyy... myyyy kiddss... myyyyyyy kiiddsssssss." She, with tears in her eyes, said with all her power she could gather inside her body.

Jorri's eyes dilated. Shiitt, I was careless. As he turned around and started running with all his power, while passing by the guards, he shouted, "Go and start my flying board!" Some guards, with all their power, started running and going towards Jorri Jason's room for his personal flying board.

Jorri kept running, his heartbeat racing, his eyes getting bigger and bigger in anger, and with his large strides, he was fast reaching the kids' place. As he was getting closer and closer, the heaviness increased a lot where he could barely breathe properly, but he still persisted and kept running, reaching the hallway where the guards were all unconscious already. He had a bad feeling about this as he started running to the first room for the boys, where the room was still open. He knew the attacker was not really going to hurt the boys since their target was most likely the Queen's children, so he didn't slow down but kept his eyes focused. As he crossed by their room, whose door was already open, he saw several kids on the floor and Gloomy on the bed with no sign of injury, so he breathed a sigh of relief and increased his speed towards the girls' room.

When he came close, he could see dense gas all over the place. He didn't bother to cover his nose as he kept running. When he was close, he saw a man cloaked in a tattered black outfit coming out laughing as ice dark blue gases came out from his shoulders, his eyes cold blue glowing like an animal. But when he took the first step outside—BOOOMMMMMMM!—a thick white smoke blasted, shrouding him. Realizing the opportunity, Jorri took a huge jump and gave a very strong punch toward the smoke. But then he suddenly heard, "Ohohoh, hohohoh, innnttteerresstiinngg, verrryyy innntteerrresssttinnnggg! Let's have a game off lucckkkk!! Heheheh."

Clearly that man saw him, so this punch would decide who had the upper hand. Jorri's mind was running like a horse, thinking where could that man dodge. In such close range, where could he move to dodge? Forward, backward, left, right, diagonal, down diagonal—aaaaaahhh, there are too many places to think. Jorri just followed his instinct and punched a little forward, thinking with this confusion he would want to leave as fast as possible.

His strong fist went into the white and purple mist, but nothing was hit. He missed! As his body kept moving forward in motion, with his huge body, smoke was deflected a lot. And with the corner of his eyes, he could see a man sitting down with his knees tucked and face on his palm. Like in slow motion, he could see his smirk and words coming out of his filthy mouth: "PEEEKKKK AAAA BOOOOOO."

Swisshhhhh! Jorri went forward like a cannonball, and when he stopped himself, he heard the glass breaking.

Shiittt. Jorri came running back and saw the back of Zack as he was standing still and looking at the girls who were looking pale but not injured anywhere, especially little princess and Natalia. He calmed down seeing this and thanked Zack mentally and saw that dreadful man.

"Hahahahha, I wonnnn! I wooonnnn that battle of Lucckkkk! Today is my lucky day," he said as he landed on one of the pillars. He stood there for a second under the beautiful moon, his tattered clothes and ice-cold veins and gases shimmering like a ghost as he looked back and smirked, then jumped from the pillar and easily landed below with a loud sound DOOMMMMMBBBB! Cracking the tiles on his landing.

Jorri, seeing this, didn't hesitate to jump and converted his half jacket into a parachute glider as he glided toward that man.

Seeing this, the man smirked and, after checking here and there, started running toward the second rock, which was closest to the palace. The man was fast, very fast. He ran like an animal with his body close towards the ground, looking like he was kissing the ground, huff hufff hufff hufff - his hands crazily moving. As he came closer to the rock, he jumped again, reaching the below part of the rock, and with his single arm strength, pushed himself to the surface. He came to the surface to the place where many people were jumping off to ride the winds. One man was ready to place his leg on a skateboard and jump but suddenly saw a black-robed man coming out of nowhere from below and said, "I will take yours, little twerp." As he said that, he landed on the edge of the surface, grabbed the man by his neck, and tossed him casually down. The man, in shock, shouted, "Aaahhhhhh!!!!" Then, after falling down for some seconds, he realized something and opened his glider parachute.

Uff, what is happening? I just wanted to go home and sleep after a 12-hour shift. Sigghhhhhh. He was clearly breathing easy when suddenly he heard, "Hey, hey, heyyyy! You guys sure know how to fly. I will take your parachute for studying purposes." The dreadful man came and just sliced this poor common man's parachute, resulting in him falling down.

"Aaahhhh, I am going to diiieeeee!!!" the man shouted in panic.

Seeing this, Jorri closed his parachute by coming above the falling man and let his body fall naturally. The dreadful man, laughing, went off with his board toward the 3rd rock.

Jorri, closing down swiftly to the man, keeping his head straight down, finally reached near him. By using his strap on his wrist, he grabbed him tight, then forcefully turned himself up like a straight pillar letting his leg now falling towards the ground. Then suddenly, a swift white board came beneath his legs, fixing his feet automatically—clearly a higher personal version. Which, unlike others, had two separate planks for his two legs and a glowing light below the skateboard and sharp fins at the rear end of the board with no cloth sails on it.

The 2nd rock leader, Alfie's father, watched the commotion from his high arrow-shaped tower and saw what happened. He was about to jump out to go help when he saw Jorri bringing the fallen man in his arm, tucked like a kid, and safely put him to the ground. The 2nd rock leader, seeing this, grabbed a rod-like object and threw it high Up from his tower, which the wind carried towards the palace. But suddenly it U turned, and in very high speed, went toward Jorri, who was getting ready to fly. But then he suddenly heard a loud shout, "Joooorrriiiiii!" He looked back and saw the 2nd rock leader pointing toward Jorri back. Jorri saw the rod, smiled, and flew away with wind on his back, and with perfect timing, caught it.

And swiiiisssshhhhhh!! He flew so fast if not focused, anyone could hardly see him.

The dreadful man was quite ahead now, going past the 3rd rock, when he heard a piercing sound—shhrrrrriiikk—a machine-like voice coming from behind him. He looked back and saw Jorri racing speedily toward him. He smirked and increased his speed, went inside the 3rd rock, which is not prohibited. He dodged many structures, taking sharp turns around the shops and other structures, surprising people and causing a commotion.

Jorri followed him, doing a cat and mouse chase. Swiiishhhh, swiisshhhh, swiisshhhh. Both skillfully guided their boards in tight turns. After several minutes, Jorri was about to catch him, but suddenly the rock ended and dreadful man dove down. Jorri followed, not so surprised. The dreadful man took out his slightly long dagger and stuck it to the surface of the rock, raising lots of dust and small debris which affected Jorri's speed and made him maintain some distance. Going full speed down, dreadful man reached the end by a long tail of dust behind him, with all force he made his board fly horizontally clearing the end part of rock surrounded by big chains. He after gaining some distance from the rock flew upwards diagonally toward 5th rock with the wind on his back, following him closely Jorri with his board. But suddenly—POOOOFFFF!!—a huge explosion of gas came from the dreadful man and filled the space for a second, surprising Jorri, who was closely following behind him and got covered in smoke.

Within just few seconds, wind blew away the gas, but Jorri saw a upside-down dreadful man smiling like a demon coming toward him, by holding his two glowing ice-cold blue hands together sticking. And with extreme speed, he hit his face like a hammer. BANNNGGGG!! Jorri got hit in the face and like a bullet flew back to the 3rd mountain rock and hit the lower side of the rock and made a huge crack hole on the rock with his huge strong body.

The dreadful man, turning himself up, now dove to him and with his body falling, punched directly on Jorri's body. DHOOOMMMM!! He came to a stop and said, "Quite a fun chase we had, haann? Now it's punnchhhinnng tiimmmee!" As he started punching Jorri in the face and his body. BANNNGG! BAANNNGG! THUMMPPP! BOOOMMM! He punched Jorri a lot, making his face bloody and messy. When he stopped, Jorri started falling down like a broken kite.

"Now sleep tight." As the dreadful man turned and was about to fly away—SWWWOOOOOPppppp—a smooth, sharp voice came below him. He saw his leg tied—ohh shittt, he thought—fwiisshhhh! He was pulled down with force. Losing his balance, he fell uncontrollably. With the right position, Jorri smirked and—BANNNGGG—with one punch to his abdomen, sent him flying toward the empty area away from the 3rd rock.

Oucchhh, he is stroonngg, the dreadful man thought while rolling in air like a rag doll trying to stabilize himself. Not giving him time, Jorri, with his speedy board, reached him and again gave a punch. The dreadful man also flew toward him after stopping and gave a punch, THUMMMPPPP ! With both the board moving in impossible precision and direction, both punched each other a lot. Swish, bang, swish, bang. They fought, going up and up.

"Hahahaha, this is funnn! Morrreeee, morrreeee!" Both gained some space in the air and launched themselves at each other—above is the dreadful man, and from below, Jorri. Then, as they closed in on each other, the dreadful man suddenly opened his mouth and threw a purple liquid onto Jorri, who was clearly stunned at this weird disgusting situation. He was forced to dodge, losing his momentum and slowing down. The dreadful man released one of his legs from his board and, with Jorri's shoulder as target, with all the momentum—BAaaaNNGGG! Jorri tumbled towards the ground like a bullet.

This time he didn't follow him and was about to fly away when his blue glowing eyes saw a small ball-like object coming towards him from his right with the wind. Aaahhhh, shh—BOOOMMMMMM! A huge blast sounded in the air as the dreadful man also started falling like a kite in another direction—clearly Jorri flicked it on the opposite side from him at the last minute, hence the wind made it to flew towards that man. But coincidentally, he blasted toward the border. After he controlled his board, and taking advantage of the blast effect he started going toward it in full speed. Jorri also followed trying to catch up.

When the dreadful man was about to jump from the border boundary, suddenly a pole came flying toward him from his right side with the wind, which had a pointy end to it. The dreadful man was forced to stop and dodge that pole as it loudly—BAANNNGGG—stuck into the ground. As he was about to grab it, suddenly it got pulled away by Jorri—a small, hardly seen wire was attached to it. Seeing this, the dreadful man sped at the boundary and now flew at the top of the boundary by zigzagging the walls and machines, trying to lose him. But Jorri's upgraded board couldn't let him leave, and with high wind speed kept affecting them coming from the wind blades making the flight full of turbulence.

Within tight space, the dreadful man again used his gas and flew up in a sudden manner, making Jorri go ahead. But the dreadful man didn't run—now he followed behind him, like a tiger. Taking advantage of this, Jorri, with great force, braked his board and stuck the pole into the ground making the pole facing the dreadful man as dust flew from ground, making a strong halt stop, Jorri said, "Now it's my turn, with a smile on his face "

BLOOBBB—a water sound came as a greenish water sphere came into Jorri's hand. He threw it diagonally toward the coming wind, which then sprayed on the dreadful man's face, making him distracted. With so much speed, he lost his focus, and made him wobbling in the air. But suddenly, blue veins started glowing and formed a curved blade in both of his hands. He smirked and said " You finally used your power! " then raised his arm and slashed his left hand a bit faster than his right hand cutting the pole and with a 2 second delay came his right hand with curved blade aiming for Jorri Neck!!

Jorri didn't have time to dodge with this surprised attack. When it was about to cut his neck, suddenly a sharp, similar kind of blade came out from Jorri—not curved but straight like a cone—and reached his neck immediately. In slow motion, both blades touched near his neck, SHRRIIIKKKKK !!! making sparks as they passed each other in speed, grazing each other's blades. The dreadful man's face smirked as it passed Jorri's face, who was moving sideward to avoid the curved part grazing his face.

SPPPPRAAKKKK!! Swwiiisshhhh!!! Both passed each other like a bullet, then both stopped and stared at each other—one smiling and the other man clenching his fist, making his light blue blade glow more.

Then clashes happened again. TAANNGG!! TANNNG!! Tinnnggg!! Clashes of ice dark blue cold blade and light blue blade surrounded the sky of the City of EIRS. Slowly, with lots of clashes, both reached very high. Then suddenly, Jorri released his board, jumped at the dreadful man, and hugged his hip. Then, in a rotation movement, falling, going for suicide bombing.

"Heeeyy, heeyyy! We will booothhh diiiee!" the dreadful man shouted.

Jorri shouted, "THIISSS FOOORRR THHEE KIIIDDSSS! Aaaaaaa!" As the finale, he rotated him very fast. As they fell together, he, at the last moment, threw the dreadful man into the ground like a rag.

BOOMMMMMMMM!..... BOOOMMMMM! Lots of dust flew, crops destroyed around that place. As the dust settled, the dreadful man lay on the ground with broken arms and legs, and Jorri tried to get up on his one leg, the other one broken, with one hand also broken with many other bones. With half-closed eyes, looking at the dreadful man lying on the ground looking like death, he sighed. Ffeeewwww, I did it. He smiled while looking down in relief...

But suddenly...SWIIISSHHHHH! The wind howled violently around them as the dreadful man suddenly straightened his posture—without even bending his knees. CRAAACKKK! CRRRAAACKKK!! CRAAACCCKKK!!! The sound of shifting, grinding bones echoed through the air like snapping branches in a storm. His limbs twisted unnaturally before locking back into perfect alignment, his figure reforming with eerie precision.

Jorri's eyes widened in disbelief; his breath caught in his throat. What the hell…? he thought, frozen midair. Before him, the monstrous, battered figure that had been breaking apart moments ago now stood tall and composed—a flawless, almost regal-looking man restored from ruin. The sight sent a chill down Jorri's spine. Even after all that fighting, the dreadful man looked reborn… while Jorri himself was at his wits end.

"Pheewwww, that was a good fight, man," he smirked, saying, "WHAT? Do you really think you could kill me or what? Hahahahhahahahahah!" With a loud voice, he tilted his head upwards and laughed out loud. "Oooooohh, maannn, you clearly are strong, but only within common people. You are still WEAAKKKKK." The dreadful man brought his face closer and said with a smirk, "Do you really think you are useful? Looking at your rough wolf face, I guess you were picked up by that queen bitch after seeing your powers. Am I rigghhhtttt? Hehehehe."

Jorri's mind started to go blank because indeed he was brought by the Queen to work for her when he started showing his powers. Thinking this, suddenly he didn't have any power left.

"Oooohhh, looking at your reaction, it does seem true. Hahah, Crown bastards are the same everywhere... Well, who cares?" He shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Well, with you gone, there is no one to save the Queen, right?"

Hearing this, Jorri jolted back up in reality. Even though he had some doubts, he still cared about her. He clenched his teeth, an angry growl coming from his mouth, still holding his bloody arm and kneeling on one leg.

"Hehehehe, you want to know why you are so weak?" The dreadful man opened his arms, stood straight, and looked up in the sky. "BECCAAUUSSEEE I AM YOUR DEAAATHHHHHH!" Suddenly, his glowing back started to get bigger and bigger—a small bump, then a big bump. "Gggeeerrrr, blleehhhhhh," the dreadful man released a potent gas from his mouth. Then, visibly, you could see surrounding crops getting drained from life. Wherever the gas went, everything was getting destroyed. It was not much in quantity, but enough to drain the life from the small surrounding area until the wind eventually scattered it. Maybe someone would breathe a very small amount and have to rest in his bed for days to come.

Jorri's eyes started to get red, his breathing hard. "Pukkkkeeee!" He threw up blood.

The dreadful man looked down and said, "Well, since you have a similar kind of power, you could probably stay alive for a few days. Keep working hard, my friend." As he was about to tap his shoulder...

SWISHHH, SWIISHHH, SWIISHH. THUMPPP THUMPPP THUMMPPP ! Multiple poles came and made a small barrier in front of Jorri. The dreadful man looked up and saw a beautiful woman with red glasses and a tight jacket and pants with a cap, leading several men behind her in similar outfits.

Seeing this, the dreadful man smirked and jumped toward the boundary. With two jumps, he was completely outside the boundary. He glanced back and said, "Littlllee booyyyy, see you soon. Herhehhe."

"Leader, should we chase?" asked one of her men.

"No need. We are no match for him. Even Jorri was defeated." She sighed. What could they do in front of that level of power? She looked up toward the moon and sighed, then she ordered, "Take him to emergency healing FASSTTTT!!" Mikaela Larents - 2nd Rock Leader ordered.

"YESS, LEADDERR!!" the men behind her shouted.

"Hmmm, things are not looking good for the Crowns, it seems," said a man standing at the top of a tower in the 3rd district. A muscular, bald, black man standing straight, similar in height to Jorri and the 5th rock leader, wearing a gold-coated black tight shirt and black tight pants with huge rings on his hands, looking badass gangster. Let's see how this place changes, he kept thinking while looking toward Jorri's place of battle.

"Heheh, someone came early, it seems," Grankell Parmesarson - 5th Rock Leader laughed while looking out of his window and holding a woman's head, strongly putting her mouth to his big cock. Her head looked like a ball in his big hands, as he made the women deep throat his big cock in and out in speed, as he looked toward the palace and smiled. After several seconds, he took her mouth off his cock and threw her like a rag doll to the ground where many other women were lying, looking like dead dolls in front of the giant fat man..

In the 1st district, A woman with tattoos sitting in a tall chair, surrounded by ragged men and women, said, "It's time to move. The party has started without us." She smiled beautifully with a dangerous glint in her eyes as she looked towards a man who instinctively licked his fingers...

AUTHOR NOTE:

Jorri fought like hell—broke his bones, threw himself like a suicide bomber, did everything right. And it still wasn't enough. Sometimes the monster just stands back up, laughs, and walks away while you're bleeding on the ground. The narrator's hands shook writing that bone-cracking scene. The City of Eirs just learned a terrible lesson: not every fight ends with the hero winning. Jorri gave everything to protect those kids, even when he knew he might lose. The narrator thinks some battles need more than one person willing to break themselves. Some things survive because others chose to stand when they didn't have to ---- like you readers.
