32. Break a promise and a promise will break you.

  Fighting on the boat.

  Rin: there is too many of them...

  Cg taking Rikka to the ship.

  Rikka: Wait!! What are you doing?

  Cg: We are helping you!

  Rikka: Oh right... well make sure they pay for what they did!

  Nuri: Well someone is deep in their role...

  He mumbles

  Nigel: What will we do about him?

  He looks at Jack.

  Rho: To be honest, I am not sure...

  Rin: Great.

  Kaya fights and Kai…

  Kai: Little help over here?

  He shows at his handcuffs.

  Kaya: No way.

  Kai: Come on, you know I am more useful without this. Beside, you always loved to pick up locks...

  Kaya: So you can just run away again?

  Kai: Okay, I deserved that...

  They are still fighting.

  Kai: Are you seriously not going to help your old man?

  She kicks off some solder, and looks at Kai seriously.

  Kaya: I apologize because I called you ?dad“ when I saw you, but the truth is, I don't have a dad anymore, you just reminded me of him.

  Kai stayed silent. Rikka somehow hears that.

  Rikka: That was cold…

  Rikka thinks.

  Rikka: Damn, should I be glad I don’t have a dad?

  She speaks like she jokes. No one heard her.

  Nigel: Damn, I can't believe Ace is missing all this... she is going to kill us for not waking her up...

  Nuri: are you kidding me, she will kill us if we wake her up! But I am surprised she isn't awake by now...

  Ace sleeping peacefully inside. Cup of Tea empty.

  Rho: I am going on that ship. You all stay here.

  Nigel: You are not going there alone.

  Rho nods. They go on Jack's ship. They fight of coast guards.

  Rho: where is he?

  Jack: I am right here.

  Nigel attacks him without thinking .

  Rho: wait!!!

  Nigel hit him hard, but he ends up feeling the pain, and Jack doesn’t feel anything.

  Nigel makes a distance.

  Nigel: Damn you....

  Jack: Giving up already? That's okay, I would rather talk with the lady here, I have a few questions.

  Nigel: I don't think so...

  Jack: You know what, I am a bit thirsty.

  Nigel: what?

  Jack starts drinking something.

  Rho: Get away... go away now!!!

  Jack: To late...

  Nigel feels the potion that Jack drank. Nigel starts to feel dizzy

  Nigel: what the hell is this....?

  Jack: Just one of my favourite drinks. Don't worry, you will be fine, you’ll just have a little nap.

  Nigel: Damn you...

  Nigel tries to attack him, but Nigel falls to the ground.

  Rho: Nigel??!!

  Jack holds his breath. Rho can't breathe. Jack shakes his head. Rho looks at him, she can't breathe. She knew he could keep his breath for long. She shoots arrows at object, and hit him with that to make him breath, but he kept holding his breath, and she was the one in pain. She shoots the bullets at him, trying to making him weaker, but nothing was happening. She was on the ground, she couldn’t take it anymore.

  Jack: Okay that is enough.

  She is catching her breath.

  Jack: Rhodri Rivers, am I right?

  Rho looks at him mad.

  Jack: I have to admit, there is something so familiar about you... I can't put the finger on it, but the way you talk... reminded me of someone who annoyed me very much.

  She stands up. Rho transforms into transform 1.” Swords”

  Jack: Oh? Another transformation... you really think you can beat me?

  Rho: there was a time when I would probably thought that I can't... but now is not that time.

  She attacks him, he dodges.

  Jack: And what makes you think you can do it now?

  Rho: I am not alone this time.

  Rikka took that thing that puts the fire off and hit him strongly on the head, she was behind him. Jack falls to the ground. And she tries to hit him again but he stops her.

  Jack: Big mistake....

  Rikka looks scared. Rho attacks him, and cuts him with her sword.

  Rho: Help Nigel, leave him to me...

  Rikka nods and runs towards the Nigel. Rikka tries to wake him up.

  Rikka: What am I supposed to do, he is not waking up!!!

  Rho: think of something! Don't you see I am busy!!

  Jack closes his eyes, she lost her sight and he grabbed her hand and hit her. Rho fell. Jack opens his eyes. More solders came, and surrounded them. Rho looks around. Rikka and Nigel captured.

  Jack: Are you sure you want to continue the fight?

  On another ship. (Anarchist's ship)

  Nuri gets shoot with something that keeps his powers away, just like Kaya, Rin avoids the shoot, and fights. Rin saw them on another ship.

  If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

  Rikka: Get your hands off me!!

  She struggled.

  Rin: We need to get to the other ship...

  Nuri: And do what? No matter what we do, we can't hurt him.

  Kai: Maybe I can help.

  Rin: And how exactly?

  They are still fighting cg.

  Kai: Well I can't help you with these...

  Kaya: No one is taking these off, do you understand me?!

  Nuri: Maybe he can help us...

  Kaya: He can only help himself.

  Nuri: Sorry bro...

  Rin: There is too many of them!

  Jack: One wrong move and your friends are dead.

  Cg pointed guns at Rikka and Nigel. Rho stayed at one place.

  Rho: You are not allowed to kill them...

  Jack: And why is that?

  Rho: Because our posters say that you need to bring us alive, not dead.

  Jack: Ah that stupid rule. Well anyway that is temporarily, after the hearing you will probably all get capital punishment.

  Rho: But you need us alive...

  Jack: Yes... or... I could just kill you and refer to Article 23 of the criminal law. You seem to know the law? What do you think, will that work?

  Rho: That would mean that we tried to kill you, but we are just defending ourselves.

  Jack: You are criminals, you have no right to defend, beside, who would believe you anyway?

  Jack: Now, I think I will just close my eyes for a bit and hold my breath until you all passed out, or die, we will see, good luck.

  Everyone suddenly sees dark and are losing their breath. They couldn’t see anything. Cg started to put the handcuffs on Kaya and the rest. They were struggling.

  Ace starts to feel the pain again and she wakes up.

  Ace: What is with that noise...?

  Again she starts to feel more pain.

  Ace: Great.

  It is loud outside. Ace getting angrier.

  Ace: enough with that noise already!

  Ace tries to sleep. Loud noise interrupting her sleep.

  Ace: that’s it....

  Outside.

  Ace slams the door, looking angry and scary. Jack opens his eyes at that sound but still holds his breath. Rho took the chance and attacked Jack, making him breathe again. Nuri jumps and screams.

  Ace: Who is responsible for this...?

  She said scary and like she will snap any minute now.

  Nuri: I surrender! Take me!!! Take me far away!!

  He surrenders to solders.

  Nuri: what are you waiting for?!!

  Cg (coast guards) looked confused.

  Ace: Who is responsible for this noise...?

  She looks scary as hell, like a psycho. Nigel starts to wake up...

  Cg: I guess we found the last member...

  Jack looks at her. Cg holds Rho. They are ready to attack.

  Ace: I asked the question!

  She was holding her katanas.

  Cg: Put down your weapon and surrender, now!

  Ace: Did you just say something that wasn't answer to my question...?

  She attacks the cg and she didn’t hesitate to hurt them badly.

  Cg: She is the monster!!

  Ace looks at others cold.

  Nuri: It was that guy!!

  He points to Jack and he looks at them. She looks at Jack. Nigel looks at Ace, and got scared from how she looks. She fastly showed up on Jack's ship.

  Nigel: You look... awful, what happened to you?

  She looks at him with a death stare. She is on the edge of the ship, squat down.

  Ace: You are next...

  She looked at Nigel then she turns to Jack.

  Ace: Now... are you responsible for all this noise... that woke me up?

  Jack: So what if I am?

  Ace: Today is not your lucky day...

  Jack: And what will...

  She attacks him like she is ready to kill him. Other cg are trying to stop her.

  Ace: You three, keep them away from me, or I will kill someone...

  Nigel: Noted.

  They fight cg. She is attacking Jack, and she is too fast. He is dodging, but she managed to land a few hits on him.

  Jack: Why my powers don’t affect you?

  Ace: And what is your power?

  Jack: You should feel ever attack you land on me!

  Ace laughs.

  Ace: Listen pal, I am already in a lot of pain, I am in a hell this all day... so even if I stab you, I won’t even feel it... in fact it would feel like massage at this point. Anyway, consider yourself dead.

  She attacks him. She goes crazy on him. No matter what he does, she doesn’t give him a one second peace.

  Kai: Well I don't know who that is, but she is a monster woman.

  Kaya: I guess we had our secret weapon all this time...

  Rin: And here I thought she couldn't get more aggressive.

  Rho: We need to take our chance and escape while we can. Let's go back to the ship now!

  Nigel: Shouldn't we help her?

  Ace winning, ruthless no mercy.

  Nigel: Never mind, let's go.

  They go back to their ship, but Rho is still there. She transforms into arrow transform. And shoots few arrows at their ship.

  Rho: Ace, we need to go!

  Ace: But I didn't kill him yet!

  Rho: Now is not the time...

  Ace: Stabbing you in the stomach would make my pain less painful...

  Jack on the floor as the rest of the cg.

  Ace: But…

  She hits him in the stomach strongly and she feels more relaxed.

  Ace: Next time I won’t be this nice.

  Ace jumps back on their ship.

  Kaya: How are we going to lose them?

  Rho: I think I can help us with that, I am not sure it will work, but it is worth a shot...

  Nuri: Whatever it is hurry up!!!

  She moves the ship with her powers making it go faster.

  Kaya: Wow... I didn’t know you could do that...

  Rho: Neither did I....

  Rho: What happened to the solders...?

  Ace: I threw them into the ocean.

  Nigel and Nuri react to Ace's awful look.

  Ace: Do you two want to be next?

  Nigel and Nuri: No ma'am!

  They look behind, Jack looking from the ship.

  Cg: Should we follow them?

  Jack: No... Let them be... for now.

  They soon escaped. Rho feels exhausted and falls to the floor. Nigel held her.

  Nigel: You okay?

  Rho: Yeah... it just took me a lot of energy to do this...

  Ace: Is anyone going to explain what happened? And why didn't you wake me up?

  Nuri: We were scared...

  Ace: Well you should be! Violence always makes me feel better! Like you don't know that!!!

  Nigel: Told you...

  Nuri: What... how was I... I give up.

  Kai: Thank you all for saving me.

  Ace looks at Kai. Her eyes widen.

  Ace: You...

  She points the sword towards him.

  Rin: Ace put down the swords... that is...

  Ace: I know who he is...

  Nuri: Oh really? Do you now?

  Ace looks at Kaya.

  Ace: Do they now?

  Kaya nods.

  Nuri: Wait... Ace knows that is your dad? Well I feel offended.

  Rin: Why are you putting sword at him then?

  Ace: Because he doesn't deserve to be her father.

  Kaya: It's okay Ace...

  Ace looks at him coldly and puts down her swords.

  Kai: Well, I am sorry you all had to meet me like this... but you all seem to be very good friends to my Kay.

  Kaya: It is Kaya for you. And yes these are my friends, like you even care...

  Kai: I know I haven't been around but that is not a way to speak to your father.

  Kaya: What are you even doing here? Shouldn't you be dead or something?

  Rikka: That was cold... again...

  Kai: What do you mean?

  Kaya: I'm talking about your execution.

  Kai: Oh that? You know that it takes a lot more than some death sentence to kill me.

  He smiles.

  Kaya: Unfortunately I know.

  Ace in pain again.

  Nuri: See what you did Kaya? Even Ace is hurt by your cold words.

  Ace: I am still on my period you idiot!!

  Kaya: I will make you some tea...

  Ace: Thank you... that would be great...

  Kaya: I'll make this one a bit stronger then the last one.

  Nuri: Stronger? What are you putting in that tea?

  Ace: I don't care what she puts in it, just make me some... and fast...

  She holds onto her stomach. Rin puts arm on her shoulder.

  Rin: Maybe you should rest...

  Ace: Yeah... I have to admit, hitting that guy really helped me, but that's why I can't even move now...

  Rin: Oh? Let me help you.

  He picks her up. Bridal style.

  Ace: What are you doing?!!!

  Rin: Helping you.

  Ace: Put me down this instant you jerk!

  Rin: I will I will, just calm down.

  He takes her to her room. She is still yelling at him.

  Nuri: Rin really has a death wish...

  Nigel: Well consider him already dead... it was nice knowing him.

  Nuri: He was a good brother…

  Rho looks at Kai.

  Rho: Are you really Kaya's father?

  Kai: Yes.

  He said seriously.

  Rho: I don't know what happened between you two... but this is your chance to work things out with her... but be careful. If you hurt her in any way, you are joining the coast guards in the ocean too.

  Kai: That seems fair... I have no intention of hurting her, I just want to talk with her. Alone.

  Kaya brings tea to Ace and opens the door of their room.

  Kaya: Hey Ace... I brought you some tea...

  She frizzes, she saw Ace holding her sword pointed at Rin.

  Kaya: I don't even want to know...

  Ace: My tea! Thank you Kaya...

  Kaya: You are welcome.

  Ace drinks the tea.

  Ace: Could you do me one more favour?

  Kaya: Sure, anything.

  Ace: Throw him out!

  She points on Rin.

  Rin: Oh come on don't be like that.

  Kaya: You heard her...

  She pushed him towards the door.

  Kaya: call us if you need us!

  They shot the door, and she drank the tea

  Ace: I don't know what she puts in these, but I can see why she drinks it.

  Ace relaxes.

  Kaya: Where is Kai?

  Rho: He is at the boy’s room... we thought that maybe you two wanted to talk in private. We are here if you need us.

  Kaya nods and heads to the room. Kaya stops in front of the door she sights and opens the door. Kai still in handcuffs.

  Kai: hey Kay...

  Kaya looks at him.

  Kai: What? You have nothing to say? You always have new insults when you see me.

  Kaya: I am not sure even what is there left to say... always the same thing... you disappear, I am left alone, then you show up again out of nowhere to tell me that you will never leave again, and then guess what... you just disappear again.

  Kai: It is not like that Kay...

  Kaya: Oh really? I bet you would disappear right now if you could.

  Kai: I was looking for you Kaya...

  Kaya looks at him.

  Kai: I was headed to Herebis Island, hoping to find you there...

  Kaya: How can I even believe you?

  Kai: I understand Kaya, you have every right to hate me..

  Kaya: Hate you? I wish I could hate you... because that would mean that I feel something for you... but I don't hate you, I don't feel anything for you. You are just a stranger in my eyes now...

  She turns around.

  Kai: You can lie to yourself but you can't lie to me.

  He stands up.

  Kai: Listen little criminal... I know that I made a lot of mistakes... a lot... and as much as I wished to go back in time and fix it... I can't... But I am here now, and I am ready to stay... if you would have me.

  Kaya: I am sorry... but I can't do this anymore... the last time you left almost killed me... I can't go through that again...

  Kai: I understand...

  She starts to leave but she saw Kai sitting on the bed and he looked like he is about to cry. Kaya looks back at him. He looks at her. She hesitates and looks through the door then looks back at him. She unlocked the handcuffs with her power.

  Kaya: You will be staying with us for a while anyway... at least we can try and get along...

  Kai smiles.

  Kai: You were always the bigger person.

  He stands up.

  Kai: And you have grown so much... Last time I saw you, you were just a little girl... and now look at you...

  He smiles,

  Kai: you have grown into a beautiful and strong woman. I am proud of you.

  Kaya looks away.

  Kai: Kay? Can I please hug you?

  She looks at him.

  Kaya: don't hug me if you will just let me go again...

  Kai hugs her.

  Kai: I would never do that.... never again, I promise.

  She hugs him back and starts to cry.

  Kaya: Oh dad...

  Kai: It is nice hearing you say that.

  Kaya: Don't push it.

  Kai laughs.

  Kai: I won't....

  They keep hugging.
