Bab 58: Chapter 58
Nobody had noticed him as he quietly entered the castle from around back. It was all going according to his plan to get inside. Once inside he naturally looked like any other survivor among the crowd. His blue hair and red bangs hanging in front of his face as he kept his eyes low. Glancing about from time to time in order to check his surroundings.
Switching on the mic in his ear his headphones were instantly filled with the sound of his elder twin brother, Hide.
[ Nova, what have you done?! I'm coming to get you! ]
"I'll be fine. I can do this." Nova calmly spoke in a manner to not be obvious to those around him. He could not see the target for getting in the castle yet but he felt sure he could accomplish things so that Hide would not have to do everything on his own again.
[ Nova.. We'll be there soon. Do not do anything on your own. ]
Hide's voice sounded as if it was going to break.
"You worry about me too much." Nova sighed.
In the distance Nova could see the figure of Tyson walking in the distance. Slowly moving himself out of sight so that he would not be noticed by the man. The close call caused his heart to pound wildly within his chest. If it had not been for Hide talking to him he felt sure he would not have forgotten to pay attention for the other top ten rankers within the castle walls.
[ What happened? ]
Hide's worried voice called out to him.
"Nothing i'm-" Turning around Nova found himself pausing mid comment as he came face to face with Tyson he had just tried to avoid. "fine.."
"The twins.. I see." Tyson's expressionless tone caused Nova to shake slightly for a moment.
Jumping back away from Tyson, Nova pulled out his mic from his ear and smashed it on the ground. He was not willing to give up anything that would lead back to his brother if something happened to him. Tyson had not been his initial target but it was near impossible for an average person to get passed him.
"Where is he? I know your brother must be near. Correct?" Tyson had never known Hide to allow Nova to wander off on his own within the garden. Hide was the only reason most assumed Nova was even among the top ten.
"I.. Don't.. Need.. to be protected!" Nova shouted out his frustration at Tyson. A pair of crystalized ice wings exploding forth from his back. The wings were of pure ice that crackled as they moved about. Water droplets slid along the wings as the wings repeatedly seemed to melt and re-solidify.
Nova's body shot forth causing a ripple in the air. His body slamming against Tyson's as he grabbed hold of him. Gritting his teeth as he reached up for Tyson's neck only to have his own wrist grabbed firmly by the man. A sharp pain filling Nova's stomach as the man's knee smashed up into his gut. Both of them crashing into the ground as Nova struggled to catch his breath.
"I was going to simply talk.. but disobedient dogs should be caged." Tyson spoke as he climbed back to his feet. Approaching Nova with a dark shadow cast over his expression. He was not sure what had gotten into Nova to make him act on his own but he did not care. The thing that infuriated Tyson was that he had been attacked without warning and still lacked to know what Nova was initially after.
Before Nova had time to catch his breath he found Tyson's foot sending a solid blow to his head. Knocked unconscious from the blow Nova's body collapsed flat onto the ground. When Tyson felt sure that Nova was not faking his unconsciousness he knelt down to check on the young man's condition. It was impossible for him to simply kill Nova when he needed information from him. If it was not for that he would have already taken Nova's life when he had flown at him.
I can't kill you.. but this is a castle. If you don't break your brother will when he comes for you. Tyson thought to himself as he stood there watching the young man.
With all the commotion Nova's attack had made it had stirred everyone's attention on them. They could hear the sounds of Zeal and the others rushing over to their position. Everyone had been interrupted from their time eating from the sounds and rushed to find out what was going on.
"Tyson! What happened?" Zeal called out to him as he rushed over in order to check out the problem. His eyes instantly landed on the unconscious body of Nova that laid beneath Tyson.
"Take him to a cell. I know his brother is in the area if he is. They would never act alone so Zeref must have ordered them to do this. Find out what you can from him and we'll figure out what to do with him after that." Tyson ordered Zeal into motion before the man even had enough time to survey the entire situation himself.
Without waiting for Zeal to respond to him Tyson had already begun to walk off in Chi's direction. Pulling Chi along with him calmly as he headed back inside. Feeling that everything was calm for now and Zeal and Tai could take up watch themselves he really felt the need to rest himself.
"Are you sure leaving them alone with him is the best thing?" Chi asked as he was dragged along with Tyson. He had gotten so use to the way that Tyson lead him around that he barely even realized that he was being lead away from the others.
"Zeal can handle Nova on his own if he had to. It's his brother that would be hard to deal with.. Little rabbit, accompany me as I eat." Tyson smiled faintly as he tried to avoid talking about the matters of Hide and Nova. Especially he did not want to discuss it with Chi when he had not yet decided whether or not he would put and end to Nova's life himself when he was done making use of the man for information. It was not that Tyson wanted to kill Nova, but simply that if Nova was a hazard to them he could have no choice in the matter. If Nova came after them again it would only be a hindrance. If Chi knew what was weighing on his mind he knew the man would only worry further about it. They were things that Tyson felt best to keep to himself until the time came.
