Chapter 8: Third Party

*Ray's POV*

Right after I left Mike by running away.

"Hey, Ray."

"W-what?"

"Take my bag this will be a quite gruesome scene so run away from here."

"But!"

"No BUTS! You already raised this flag and I don't want any more flags to rise! Get outta here! This is an order from your great leader!"

"Just when did you become my leader!? Urgh! Fine so be it!"

I immediately grab Mikes's bag and about to run away but I stop in a short pause.

I look back at Mike who was glaring at something beyond the darkness.

It was cool to see him like this but I break the mood by shouting at him with a reasonable shout.

"THERE'S NO STUFF INSIDE YOUR BAG EXCEPT THIS USED CLOTHES! DO YOU EVEN CONSIDER YOURSELF A STUDENT!?"

There is no point in me carrying your stuff!

He was still staring at the dark as I said it.

Mike's only attention is at his front as darkness can only be seen.

FUCK FUCK FUCK! I still did not know what's happening! I should call some help!

"Help! Somebody! My friend is in danger!" I shouted in a desperate tone.

The only reason I could think of when I came back to him he will be lying down with bruises everywhere from his body. I believe those thugs will not take there beating too far like killing someone just because they hate him... unless... AHHH MIKE!!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?

I shout and shout while running left and right.

It was already 11:00 PM (23:00) of course there would be no people in the street!

But as I was about to turn left I saw a single figure walking.

It was a girl with long black hair.

She looks like she was about to go home.

I was about to talk to her when I thought of something shitty in the middle of the crisis.

(Hey, what if that girl is a ghost? Look, she has long black hair.)

!?

As I think of what would happen if I talk to the girl I started to walk slowly hesitatingly.

My mouth opens and closes like the words aren't coming out from my mouth.

My instincts told me to run away from the girl but if I do Mike would be in real trouble.

Just when I was still hesitating the girl look back and saw me who was about to talk to her.

Shit! Did I make her think that I was a stalker!? Or did she really intended to make me think this way so she can suck my soul out because she is a ghost!?

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH my inside is shouting in confusion and hesitation as I don't know what to do in this situation.

"Uhmm... what do you want?" the girl asks me with her gentle voice.

*badump*

W-w-w-w-w-w-w-WHAT AN ANGEL!

I kneel before her giving her my loyalty to the angel.

Wait?! What am I doing!?

The girl just saw my pathetic side.

I immediately stand up and talk to her. (I hope I did not make her feel disgusted towards me.)

"Please I need your help!" I pleaded to the girl asking something impossible for a normal girl like her but I still pleased in desperation.

I still did not stop there and continued. "M-my friend is in trouble he was about to be beaten by some thugs."

I hope she understands what I was saying here and helps me to help me to ask other people to help us.

"He is still a high-school student just like me and yet he was about to be beaten to death by those shitty thugs! So please at least help me asking other people for help!"

The girl did not talk to me and just stared at me.

*badump badump*

Not long after about only 8 seconds she finally spoke.

"If by chance that a friend of yours who was about to be beaten is named... Mike?"

"!?"  I was surprised and speechless not giving her any answer for a short while.

But because of the expression on my face makes her know the answer.

"As expected. *sigh* Take me where Mike is."

"What? but with just two of us, we can't even give him proper help. Not to mention your a girl. That is why we need to ask for help from others."

I don't know what this girl to Mike but even with two of us is impossible to help.

"We should call some help like the police or someone nea-" As I said my worry she interrupted me.

"I know that is why we need to be there as soon as possible." She taps my shoulder giving me a sense of relief that it's okay for only two of us to go there and smiled at me.

I don't know what she will do but if she is willing to help I might as well agree to her.

"Okay." I also smiled back and two of us run towards Mike.

***************************************

*Back to present time.*

"Please help me clean those trashes who wanted to hurt Mike," said the girl to the four.

"O-okay... we are already doing tho," said Leo in a hesitant voice fearing that he might trigger this girl.

The girl smile at them as she was happy with their response. Her smile was something like an angel that soothing their confused heart.

Daniel who feels something weird to himself as he also smiling asks the girl's name.

"U-uhmmm may I know your name?" said in a shy tone.

The four easily forget what happened to them earlier as they are soothed by the angel-like girl.

"It's Sena." said in a gentle tone.

(AHHHHH!!!! WHAT A CUTIE!) Daniel wanted to shout in excitement but he refrains himself as he would worsen his character in front of the girl- Sena.

While Daniel who still in dreaming the other three were already off to fight the incoming thugs.

"OY STOP DREAMING AND HELP US HERE!!!" One of the four raises a complaint to.

Daniel quickly understood them and help them from the distance.

Sena went to the front, opposite of Leo's location.

Ray and Mike were in the middle of the five shows that they are being protected on all sides with only a few little numbers.

The good thing about this is that there are only a few of them left while the others are gone or ran away from here.

Leo showing his martial arts flawlessly beating out his enemy insight.

Daniel shoots the thugs that are running straight to him accurately at the head with rocks he stored up just now. (How's that!? Did Sena saw my awesomeness!?)

The other two extras are also beating those thugs with their weapons in hand. One of the two is equipped with knuckles and the other one is equipped with a slinger the same as Daniel.

In the middle of their fight, the two look at each other in confusion and asks one another.

"I somewhat feel like someone called me an extra."

"What a coincidence me too."  T-they look everywhere on the street thinking that someone was stalking them and gave up as they are busy fighting with thugs.

They are somehow pissed and annoyed making their fighting more aggressive.

As the four are batteling in all sides Sena minds her own fight at the front.

Unlike Mike who only knows block and counter or Leo who uses aggressive attacks, Sena used a type of something like pinning or throwing her enemy down to the ground.

By combining her power and speed her style is outstanding as the four and Ray were astonished by Sena who can easily throw one thug after another to the ground like they are feather. 

"Kuh... They are nothing like that kid(Mike)! Finish them!" said Carlo who was in a panic state.

With his title as a boss, no one would dare to disobey him as thugs are trying to get up and fight again.

Ray who was guarding Mike only watched from afar witnessing the brawl with his own virgin eyes.

(I bet mom would not believe in me if I ever tell the reason why I am late.) Ray cried as he thinks about what punishment would he get from his mom.

As the fight is getting hot, the police's sirens can be heard from afar.

"Shit they are almost here!" Cursed by Leo.

They wanted to finish they but these thugs didn't let them.

However, while they are in the middle of the fight and the polices are about to come...

Suddenly, a couple of black and white vans appeared out of nowhere to their place interrupting their brawl.

They did not expect this as they all pause for a brief moment and look at the vans that stop at their place.

Leo who is holding one of the thug's sleeves as he about to punch him but been stopped by someone who grabbed his arm.

"!?" Leo turns his head to look at one who grabbed him but his vision suddenly turns black as a sack had been on his head.

He knew for sure that man who puts a sack on his face is tall which means they are an adult as the man carries Leo onto his shoulder carrying him into the van.

"What are you doing!" Daniel was furious. Who would dare tried to hurt or kidnapped his friend?!

He was about to shoot the adult however someone blocked his view.

Another man in a black suit grabbed his head with his massive hand and also carries him into the van.

Some of the thugs who are about to launch an attack saw the people in a black suit dragging Daniel and Leo to the van helplessly.

Carlo didn't know what's happening but he managed to gather himself and order his members to retreat as he had a vague idea of what are they doing.

(Kidnapping is happening here in the middle of many people!? Are they out of their mind!?")

He is a thug as he knows a little about what are they are doing.

"Everyone runs away from here!" (At least make my people safe!) Is what Carlo thought as he ran away like his life is on the line leaving those four, Sena, Ray, and Mike behind.

Many vans are appearing from here and there in the street as they grab many people as they can.

One of the van who dragged Leo and Daniel are about to get Sena, Ray, and Mike next.

"Ray run away from here. I didn't expect this to happen." Sena speaks to Ray in a gentle mixed with panic tone.

Even she is a girl, she's older than them so the young must run away first before her.

She doesn't know if she can handle these adults who came out of nowhere to kidnap them as she prepares her stance.

"Hurry." Said Sena to Ray.

(Ah! Okay! Just please be safe!) Ray carries Mike as he sprinted away from here only Sena left.

The adults in black suit read their intentions as they chased the people that are running away.

The van drives away from Sena and chases the two only leaving one adult to deal with Sena.

(Looks like I cannot stop the van from chasing them... Please be safe.) Sena knew her sacrifice are in vain.

But she still did not dare to run away as she still prepared her stance.

(Based on the numbers of vans outside I cannot escape from here. I don't the reason why are you so desperate kidnapping these people in such public but at least I should beat one or two of them.)  Like one of Leo's speeches earlier Sena launches an attack straight to the adult in black suite.

The adult anticipated her attacks like he was playing her.

The fight did not take long as the result end horribly.
