章 49: Reunion II / A wounded man out for blood
"Dan."
Ilara calls out with a smile, Dan looks around a bit before walking to join up with Sai and Ilara where they stood.
"Fancy seeing you here."
Sai comments with a smirk.
"Nice seeing you to boy scout."
Dan replies with a smirk of his own.
"Who's this??"
Yakob asks with a raised eyebrow.
"Oh yeah, Yakob allow me to introduce you to the third member of our team, Daniel Ruso."
Ilara announces with flare, Yakob walks up to the trio and stares intently at Dan.
"I'll be keeping my eye on you… better watch yourself."
"I'll have it no other way."
Dan replies with a cocky smile.
"Alright then, we begin your training for the exams now…. Physical and mental training within the three weeks before the exams, I am a Weaponmaster but I shall try my best to see you two level up as well, Dan and Ilara."
Yakob paces around before looking back at the trio before him.
"The defense exams are going to be tough, so steel your mind for that, are you guys ready??"
"Yes sir!!"
Sai and Ilara reply in unison with Dan looking quite uninterested.
"I asked, are you ready??" Yakob stares at Dan with Dan replying with a mock smile and nod.
"Alright then, let's get down to business."
Yakob announces as he walks away from them.
"Our journey begins now."
Ilara mutters to herself with a smile…
TIME : 6:18PM
LOCATION : UNKNOWN
Crow sits beside a tree with his body looking quite battered, his clothes turn up and blood dripping out from his head, He sets his gaze on the sky with an expressionless look on his face, several thoughts run through his mind as he tries to focus on one thought….
[FLASHBACK]
TIME : 5:13PM
LOCATION : UNKNOWN
A FEW MONTHS BEFORE CROW CAME INTO CALOS CITY
Crow walks up to a door guarded by two armed thugs, they exchange pleasantries and allow Crow to walk in after unlocking the door, Crow walks into a massive office with a few contraptions set around the room.
"You called for me??"
Crow asks as he walks up to the table with a figure sitting over at the other side with a cigar in hand.
"Yes, You've been quite dormant so I thought I'd give you an important mission to get you back into shape."
The figure says as he takes a puff from his cigar.
"That sounds good, what's the mission, I'm dying for something to do."
Crow remarks as he takes a seat with an expectation.
"I got some information from our contact in Calos that a golden scroll has been found. apparently the fool that found doesn't know what it is which is something I'm actually thankful for. anyways, I would like for you to go and retrieve it, this mission is very important to me and the organization which is why I'd like to entrust it's retrieval to you."
The figure says still keeping his face hidden from the light though there was hardly any in the dimly lit room.
"Golden scroll??... What's that, some kind of code name or something??"
Crow asks with a raised eyebrow.
"Exactly what it sounds like, a golden scroll with inscriptions on it" The figure replies.
"forgive me for my questions but this scroll, what exactly is it and why is it so important for me to retrieve it?" Crow asks.
"That scroll is one of thirteen artefacts that will kick-start the revolution that our organization has been seeking for since that time, it holds a secret that we must obtain before law enforcement get a chance to do so."
The figure responds with a tone of seriousness.
"Sounds really important, now I'm curious to know more about this scroll."
Crow remarks with a smile on his face that expressed signs of interest and excitement in the topic.
"That's good so can I entrust this mission to you??" the figure asks.
"I will bring the scroll back without fail." Crow replies as he rises to his feet and begins to walk out.
"Crow, one more thing"
Crow turns to face the figure.
"Sir??"
"Failure on this mission will not be tolerated, if you fail to retrieve the scroll and it falls into the wrong hands consider yourself dead as we will sell you to the D.O.D to be killed so do make sure you take this mission as a lifeline to stay useful to this organization, this tells you how important this mission is, I hope I have made myself clear??"
The figure remarks with a threatening tone that sends a shiver down Crow's spine.
"Crystal clear."
Crow replies as he makes his way out of the room and the guards close the door behind him.
"What the hell was that??"
Crow mumbles to himself as he walks away after acknowledging the guards.
[FLASHBACK ENDS]
Crow tightens his fist and tries to stand but is unable to do so, he uses the tree he is laying on has a crutch to stand to his feet and lay back against it.
"Those bastards nearly got me, I guess I shouldn't have underestimated the girl… how can I be suffering so much when those assholes that put me in this position are out there living free, no that's not right… it's all because of his thirst for vengeance and their dumb sense of justice hat ended up ruining me, everything was going well, I had planned it out perfectly yet… Now I've been abandoned by the organization and i can't go back without delivering the scroll to the boss, I won't forgive him so easily… they will pay dearly for interfering with my mission, I promise that."
Crow says in a sinister voice as he began to limp from the place he stood.
