The Soul Labyrinth

“Heh…our next targets are Axel, Desmond, Aether and Arthur, all of which are from the eleventh generation…” the crossbow wielder said to him.

"Where would the be located?" He asked. Behind his back he pulled a rope, keeping it well hidden.

“We’ve got to locate them, that’s the problem…” the crossbow archer complained while Royal, the archer was looking down from the plateau.

"Let me look," Tolkalee said walking towards them. "Do you have a general location?"

“They’re all separated I’m afraid…though the person who’s easiest to look for is Axel, since he always wears a golden armor with golden and white wings…” the crossbow archer said to him.

"Alright. Which one do we want first?"

“Let’s get Axel first…he’s there…” Royal turned to them, pointing at the Harvest Chamber.

Matthew and the rest reached the Celestial Hall. He opened the door and everyone was fine. “Where’s Tolk?” Cassius asked. “He had something in mind so he’ll probably be back soon” Matthew answered.

The moment his back was turned Tolkalee wiped the rope out, slung it around Royal's neck, and pulled him to the ground. He turned on the other archer and kicked him in the chest.

Hinata set Kagami down in the Hall. Tatsuo and Katsuo moved to go over. Hinata held up a hand.
"She's fine."

(I have to go, be back in two hours or so)

Royal wasn’t expecting that so he didn’t have time to react. The other archer was kicked so hard that he dropped his crossbow.

(One ranger isn’t with them and it’s the most troublesome, the gunner)

(Oh, okay)

Cassius walked down from upstairs, seeing everyone having wounds. “By the way Matthew, someone came to visit…” he said before Kasai and Kori, Matthew’s two spirit foxes floated down from upstairs, dashing at their owner. Cassius had a smile when he saw the reunion. “Let me help with all your wounds…” he said to them all.

Hinata shook her head.
"Kagami and I are good."

(Tolkalee knows that, which is why he's moving so fast.)

As soon as the crossbow dropped Tolkalee ran over and grabbed the man. Leaving Royal to struggle in the rope.

(Nope. XD)

(Wait a moment, Yamatsu, were you playing on a football field?)

(Do I smell: people seeing each other irl?! XD)

(You might)

(XD)

(Nope opposite side of the U.S. I just had to check though, cause we had our track team playing Ultimate after school today.)

(…and with that I can conclude that I live somewhere on the opposite side of the world compared to all of you ;-;)

The crossbow archer had some time to activate his power, his hands were covered in some sort of green substance. He splashed some of it at Tolkalee, melting his clothes and skin slightly.

Royal, on the other hand, struggled to get out of the rope but to no avail. Another figure came up to him and pierced the spear they held through his head, ultimately ending him.

(Me, in wonderful Indiana. We have corn.)

(I’m slightly sad that I’m in an entirely different continent from y’all ;-;)

(Don't be!)

Hinata sat down next to Kagami, winded and in slight pain from Kagami's wounds.

(Well, at least I can make Asian jokes and not feel bad about it, while you guys can’t :P)

Cassius looked over Kagami’s and Hinata’s wounds. “Okay, this won’t be hard…” he had his staff back from Matthew (When Matthew when to the Research Building, he got Cassius’ staff from the lab). He held the staff in one hand while pointing at Hinata and Kagami with the other. The golden caduceuses appeared in his eyes once again as the wounds closed shut and the bloodstains were gone.
