章節 48: Yuma
"You shouldn't be here… Nyct Moon" Nyct looks up. The muscular giant's short white hair blowing along with his gray eyes.
"A-Admiral bru-" Bru lifts his fist and slamming Nyct into the ground, causing a massive crater. Nyct's eyes go blank as she coughs up blood. 'How did he get here so fast-...?'
------
Boombox flips through the air, grabbing a tree branch then sliding on the ground.
"Admiral Bru is here!" He quickly grabs out two blades he swiped from the base he was held at, swinging them in his hands.
"I was never good at dual wielding daggers, but It should do"
------
Bru punches Nyct in the face again. Quickly stopping as his fist drips blood. Nyct laying on the ground unconscious.
"So you dare defy me… Iteyi? You used to work under me… what happened to you?" Boombox walks from the shade of the trees. His shirt having been ripped off, wielding two short daggers.
"You're a wretched man, Bru Kizaki" the two lock eyes as Bru exhales.
"I'm an Admiral, the higher ups don't care what I do as long as I don't break the law, and by killing you two, i'm doing the government a favour-" boombox jumps and jabs the dagger into the Admirals left arm. Slicing it deep.
"What kind of pitiful attack was that?" The admiral grabs Boombox by the head and lifts him off the ground with ease. Boombox smirking.
"You're really bad at this" bru's eyes widen as Boombox grabs the dagger and quickly springs it down. Slicing off the man's left forearm from just below the elbow amputating it. Bru falls to the ground, clenching his arm in pain.
"Why'd you do that!?" Boombox smirks.
"You control the dark market, you're the reason I lost my wings, legs, arms, and jaw… you shall feel my pain" Boombox lifts the two daggers with a glare that could kill.
"That's enough" an arm rests on Boombox's shoulder. Quickly swinging the dagger at the man but instantly stopping upon seeing Yuma.
"Yuma…?" Yuma steps forward and punches Bru into the ground knocking him out cold.
"We need to go, there's no point in killing him, yet…" Cani looks over. Yuma noticed Nyct.
"Cani, grab Nyct, let's head back to the boat, the Government is closely on our tail." Cani nods and hoists Nyct onto her shoulder. Yuma walking past Boombox.
"I'm glad you're safe, Boombox, Nyct" Boombox looks down at Yuma. Yuma's eyes grow an angry red.
"I won't let them get away with this" Boombox gulps as Yuma walks away, Cani carrying Nyct quickly following. Boombox processing what he just saw. Exhaling and following after them as smoke rises from the island.
------
The sun set upon the horizons of the ocean. Casting pink, orange, and yellow hues across the swaying water and fluffy clouds. Yuma's pink hair was down past his shoulder still as it calmly blew in the wind. Reaching forward and leaning on the railing.
"We made it. For now, at least." Yuma turns and looks at the group. Cani sitting on a few boxes beside Nyct. patching up her injuries quietly.
"Don't worry, Yuma… Nyct only has a few bruises and scratches, she should be fine, just lucky she escaped with no broken bones." Cani smiles weakly as he turns to the silent Boombox who's white hair was now a similar length to Yuma's. His white wings folded behind his back. Rubbing his wrists.
"Boombox, everything good?" Boombox looks up. Smirking with a slight chuckle as the breeze blows. The boat creaked as it rocked in the choppy waters.
"Never felt more alive, Yuma" Nyct exhales, her voice shaky.
"I'm just confused… Admiral Moon just… let me go… but, he kept apologizing, saying he had no choice but to follow orders. He seemed… conflicted." Yuma frowns and looks back at the ocean.
"Something doesn't add up. Admirals don't just let prisoners go. Especially not someone like you, Nyct… who they had perfectly in their grasp" Boombox stands and walks over, nodding.
"We need to find out why Admiral Moon let her go. There's something bigger at play here. Something we're not seeing. Yuma looks up at the sky. Exhaling cold air.
"Whatever it is, we'll face it together. No more running. It's time we take the fight to them."
------
Yuma grabs Boombox's daggers. Examining them as he exhales.
"You did well back there, Boombox." Boombox's white hair blows in the wind. His arms leaning against the wooden rail.
"Thanks, Yuma. But I couldn't have done it without your help at the end there." Yuma smiles calmly.
"That long hair is my shtick, it doesn't suit you" Boombox chuckles, twirling the hair around his finger.
"Really? I was starting to get used to it" He takes the dagger from Yuma and cutting his hair short once again, letting it all fall to the deck. Cani shouting.
"You better sweep that up, Iteyi!" boombox jumps a bit.
"R-Right… sorry"
------
Boombox sits at the table as Cani cooks in the kitchen behind them. Nyct lowers her mask and exhales sorrowfully. Boombox looking at her.
"It's good to see you again, Nyct. I didn't get to tell you that since you found me then we had to deal with Admiral Bru and all"Nyct calmly smiles. Boombox blushing.
"You too, Boombox. I missed our talks." Boombox stumbles a bit.
"Yeah, me too." he clears his throat. "What do you think Admiral Moon meant by his apologies?" Nyct sighs and looks at a ceiling light, thinking about her father.
"I don't know. But whatever it is, it's something big. We need to be ready." Boombox nods.
"We will be. Together." There was a silence as Boombox turned the other way. Whistling awkwardly as the door opens. Boombox turns to see Yuma who smirks.
"Hey, Iteyi, wanna spar?" Boombox smirks.
"Gladly"
