章 152: The Return (II)
A wicked smile erupted on the Titan's face, giving me a creepy feeling altogether. It was then I knew instantly that I was right, making me suddenly feel a shiver up and down my spine. How was this possible? Rei wasn't supposed to be here or should be a Titan anymore. It didn't make sense as I stood there stunned, unable to say anything.
"Cat got your tongue?"
His words slapped me awake. I furrowed as I stared at him in annoyance.
"Really now, is it that surprising? I thought you would be thrilled that I am here." Rei gave me a disappointed look as his shoulders sagged a little, but he quickly shook his head and straightened up his back. The same proud expression appeared on his face as he stared at me with a hint of smug expression. "I know you are surprised."
I finally spoke, "Are you sure about that?" The tone in my voice wasn't confident enough, but I was sure that he didn't catch it. His expression didn't change.
"Yes, I am." The end of his lips curled even further, but a hint of slight confusion could be seen.
"Are you sure about it? You know, I could probably just not care less." I stood up a bit straighter with a blunt reply as my lips slightly showed off my pearly white teeth.
"Lies." He hissed, clenching his fist. "I would've been surprised if your nemesis was right in front of you."
I snorted and shook my head. Yes, I was surprised that he was here, but there was no way that I would tell him that, not only that he was no nemesis of mine, but a kidnapper.
"A kidnapper is more like it," Phil spoke out loud, causing Rei to swivel his head towards him and glared furiously. The intensity that he had given towards Phil was worse than me, but he snorted once and ignored him for interrupting him.
Phil didn't care; he lowered his sword and kept on talking. "What would you expect us to be, surprised? We know that we can move to different worlds, it's not any new information. So, what is your point?"
Rei was silent, unable to say anything. Phil had a point; we did go back to Earth and came back again. I did make quite a mess, but other than that, Phil was right. This wasn't something that I should be too surprised about and instead worry about what he would do next.
Rei growled, disliking how Phil had put him down. "All that planning I had done to get to this point….it's all ruined!" He stomped his feet, causing a small tremor.
My eyes became wide, surprised that such a small body could cause such a powerful movement that even I felt it under my foot. I wasn't sure how this was possible, but I instantly knew that he was powerful in his small body.
"I should've killed all of you, elves! I did it with that damn another one!" Rei smashed his feet into the ground again as another shudder escaped under his feet. It was like watching a child throwing a tantrum, ruining his image that I remembered him before.
The orcs scampered backward out of fear; the tremors on the ground became more violent, causing all of us to waver. Even I wanted to lift off the ground and stay afloat because the shaking was making me queasy.
Eventually, Rei stopped, taking in a deep breath. He let out an annoyed breath. "So," he folded his hand in front of him. "I only have one thing I want."
"That is?" I could get a stable footing as my body was lowered to the ground from bracing myself.
"You." An evil grin appeared on Rei's lips, giving me shivers. I wasn't sure I liked what I saw, and for him to want me was even more creepier. Did he have a thing with a little girl form, because that was the last form he saw me in?! I think he actually might be a pedophile.
"P-p-p-pedo?" I stuttered, causing Rei cheeks to twitch.
"No!" He shouted. "I want you dead!"
"Oh." That was a different story entirely. I let out a small relief that he wasn't into those creepy things, but realized now that my life was on the line.
"You made a fool out of me! I can't have you running around freely after what you and that elf has done." He rubbed his hands slowly, "I'll make sure all of you die tonight."
I didn't like how he was staring at us crazily; I knew he was the type to go for what he had said. My brain was working quickly, trying to figure out how to save Coco and get out of here alive with everyone. Fighting against the whole Titan army wasn't a good idea, mainly because it would harm my friends more than me.
The thought of them possibly dying made me go into a very aggressive stance; there was no way I was going to allow that to happen.
"But," Rei's aggressive nature stopped, and he was a lot more relaxed than before. He then waved his hands, motioning the Orcs to bring Coco forward. Coco was roughly pushed forward as she walked towards me with the same old proud expression that I have always seen her in.
I was glad to see that Coco wasn't harmed, she still looked like herself, but I wasn't sure. There was a high chance that she could've been tortured.
When Coco was pushed again by a burly man, she twirled around and did a spinning roundhouse kick into the Orc's head. The Orc stumbled backward, surprised by the sudden attack as his neck was snapped to the side, breaking it cleanly in half.
The other Orcs stood their dumbfoundedly at the scene before them, shocked at what they saw. They didn't expect Coco to fight back with her hands tied to her back and was now more wary about her. Most of them didn't know what to do and were mumbling among each other if they should pick her up and tie her or just leave her standing there by themselves.
None of them wanted to get their necks snapped off like the one dead on the ground as they stared. I felt proud of Coco. I knew she could take care of herself and to scare them off so easily was what she did best.
"Come on?" Rei shouted angrily, "what are you waiting for?" He was getting impatient with how slowly they were bringing her.
"But-" One of the Orcs, who had a scar running down its cheek, spoke. "She just killed one of my men. How do you want me to bring her when she's dangerous."
Rei growled, "if you don't bring her, I'll kill you instead." He threatened him.
The Orc froze up, understanding instantly that he didn't have a choice either way. It was to bring Coco forward and die or die by the hand of Rei himself.
"I'll give you five seconds." Rei rumbled, getting impatient of waiting. "One…."
Suddenly, in a frenzy, the Orc started to quickly walk towards her in the hopes of catching her before she made another deadly attack.
Coco just rolled her eyes, shook her head, and snapped her feet into a flurry of kicks as she rushed one of them forward. She then kicked off into the air, doing a perfect ax kick down onto one of the Orc's heads as a loud, sickening sound of bone breaking could be heard. It was in a mess of a fight as the Orcs scurried around, trying to grab Coco.
I knew this was our chance. Using my tail, I whipped around and slammed it into the nearest Orc, pushing them away from Coco. Coco took this opportunity to escape towards me; she weaved in and out, dodging every attack like a slippery eel.
Jumping out of the way from the Orc's reach, she dashed forward and jumped onto my oncoming tail. With one fluid leap, she reached the tip of my tail and quickly scaled upwards towards my back. She even uses the sharp end of my spine to snap the rope free.
All the Orcs that were trying to grab her were stunned. They weren't sure what to do anymore, especially now that I was in the way.
I continued to lash out, throwing the Orcs left and right as screams could be heard constantly.
"What are you guys doing?!" Rei screeched at the top of his lungs. He was furious that they weren't doing their job correctly and let Coco go scot-free. His face turned red from all the screaming, and even had bulging veins that seemed to pop out from each side of his face.
"I told you to get her!"
Phil and Kathy lunged forward, weaved in between the Orcs as they slaughtered them left and right. The Orcs parted like waves, being pushed back by their skill and power. When they saw Coco safely on my back with her hands loosed, they pulled back towards me.
"Young mistress." Coco bowed; she then straightened herself up and lifted up her chin proudly like her usual self. "I am very sorry, young mistress. To show this unsightly sight." She replied with a hint of anger in her voice. I knew she was beating herself up, especially because I knew she was the type to be very hard on herself.
"It's alright, Coco," I replied, spitting out an ice breath that froze up the ground and anything near it. The Orcs became a standing ice sculpture, frozen in place. My claws came downwards in a diagonal, hitting the side of the one of the Orc ice statues. A loud shattering sound could be heard as the Orc exploded and broke apart onto the ground.
Fear littered the Orc's eyes as they saw the power that I had. They knew instantly that they would die the moment they got into range; most of them back away, shuddering in fear, but they were still some who didn't back down.
"We are your family," I spoke in between my ice breath. "No way am I going to leave you to die."
Coco started to choke up, a tear dripped down her beautiful face as a warm smile that I rarely see on her erupted on her face. She reached over and wiped it off. "Thank you, young mistress. Just the thought of it makes me proud to work under you." She gave me the most graceful bow I had rarely seen. Then she straightened herself up; her expression became deathly and cold as she glared down at her opponent.
The Orc's knew that they were in trouble when they saw Coco's expression. If I wasn't scary enough, the sheer sight of her gaze made anyone shrivel up. It was like meeting the devil itself as pure power of malice, disdain, and hatred were pointed directly at them.
"Disgusting infidels," Coco growled. Her voice was low but clear, cutting through the plains as every Orc in the vicinity heard her and knew that she meant business.
Her gaze swept across the field and landed on Rei himself. Rei didn't seem bothered at all by Coco's look and just rolled his eyes. He crossed his arm in front of him and just stood there. Not worried at all about what was happening before him.
"You." Coco coldly replied.
"Me?" Rei pointed to himself lazily. "What about me?"
"I have business with you." Coco burst forward, jumping off my back in a blink of an eye. She shifted in midair into her blazing fire horse that galloped towards him at full speed. Trails of fire blazed behind her, creating a wall.
With an angry neigh, her eyes blazed with fury, she rushed forward.
