Luca nodded and turned his back to walk when Skyler tied another harness to his right arm.
Luca angrily grabbed Skyler by the neck, but the woman, with tremendous speed, unsheathed her sword and put it on the soldier’s neck.
They both stared at each other as Dustin said, “Wow! Wow! How much testosterone… calm down, boy, nothing happens; if you complete the mission, both will fall, and you will be fine. Do not worry. But Arwin, if you fail, then you will have a stunted shooter….”
Arwin looked at him, and Luca letting go of Skyler, looked at his forearms, both straps covered from the wrist to the elbow, and breathing deeply, he looked at Arwin.
Dustin was smiling as he looked at Arwin and then said, “Very good! Very well, Arwin, I suggest you hurry, you have seven days to go to Icaros 90, look for one of my men in a workshop called Pile of Shit... you can’t lose him, he will give you a package, and from there stra
Luca looked at her and, taking a deep breath, ran his hand through his hair to say, “Are you crazy? How will he find out we’re talking to the army? You’re not suggesting we do that ridiculous job he asked for.”Arwin widened her eyes in surprise and said, “Are you completely insane?!” Saying that she got up to look at Luca and said, “You can’t betray Capone. You put a target on your back and on all of us.”Luca looked at everyone and said through clenched teeth, “I don’t care, and we already have a target on our backs. We are soldiers.”“I am not a soldier!” Arwin retorted with a loud voice.Luca got up and, while staring at her, he said, “Well, I’m not so sure about that… I was impressed when I saw you fighting against the pirates, but I didn’t say anything, but today seeing your deep friendship with that criminal, of course, I should have guessed
Luca looked to the side and, while looking at her, he said, “Whose fault is it that these things are in my arms!”Arwin looked at him and stood up, and said, “I don’t know, god, where to start, maybe from the honorable traitors in your army, or maybe from your stubbornness for proving you could beat Skyler, maybe from your stupid colonel for not helping us… I don’t know, but I’m sure you don’t. It is the fault of the woman who saved your life when you fell at her door bleeding because you were injured. She was not the one who betrayed you, you ungrateful bastard!”With those words, Arwin let go and left the control center.Luca looked in his direction. He couldn’t believe what he had done, Strickland and Holly looked at him, and he shook his head and sat in the captain’s chair.Strickland, who was sitting in the pilot’s chair, looked at Luca and said, “Cap! That was not right!&
Luca looked at the ground and held his head, and he waited for a second while he thought things were getting complicated, and seeing Arwin, she had a look full of compassion.Luca said while looking at Arwin, “Mona. Is there something about a woman named Arwin? She helped me a lot on the planet.”Mona hummed as she calmly checked her files and said, “No, everything is fine. She is not involved in any of this.”Arwin looked at him and feeling in the form of gratitude.Luca replied, “Mona, thanks for the help. You know that we had nothing to do with what they accuse us of, right?”The girl confidently said, “Of course, it is stupid... I would never doubt you, but right now, what I believe doesn’t matter!”“I’m sorry, honey! But things are very complicated, and if I were you, I would go to imperial territory. At least the imperialists are not looking for you so hard!” The g
Arwin looked at him and, completely stunned, said, “If you know that name, you know about Skyler….”Luca nodded, and, taking another drink, he passed the decanter to the young woman who was looking at him with a surprised expression when he said, “If you knew that Skyler was that person, why did you accept that duel? if you know that name, you know how good it is….”Luca smiled, saw her, and said, “My father told me to never run away from a fight… that’s why I don’t run away, plus I can beat Skyler!”She saw him while smiling and asked, “What are you talking about?... you can’t even beat me; how will you beat her?”Luca leaned forward and said, “I can beat you… I am also completely sure that you can beat her. I have seen you fight, you have the speed, and you handle those daggers with mastery… not even Pincky could beat you. You are extraordinary!&rd
The red sparrow appeared on the edges of the Icarus galaxy. Everyone was already awake, and Luca was looking towards the gates of the galaxy.Emily looked at the huge floating circle where all the ships were heading.“What’s that?” Emily asked curiously but also concerned.Strickland, at the controls, looked at her and, with a smile, said, “That’s Icarus’ door. You see, this galaxy belongs to the republic, but it is also a private process. That’s why they try to monitor who enters and who leaves with those doors. If any ship tries to use hyperspace to enter, it will be transported back here. It is mandatory that your ship is registered.”The girl nodded when Arwin looked forward and asked, “Wait, if this ship passes forward, will they know who we are?”Luca shook his head Arwin looked at him, and the man said, “No! If Mona did as I asked, you would most likely appear as the owner of
Arwin and Luca got off the ship and began to walk through the town.The town had a white cobblestone floor that matched the walls, and from the sky, everything seemed to be desert, but the city was clean and well structured.Leaving the platform, they entered a path that took them directly to a central square where there was a huge building called the market of the mourners.In the market, you can find everything.The city was circular, but the market took up almost the entire central point of the city with absurd extensions and more than five hundred different stores that could sell anything, not necessarily legal.The shop ‘the piece of shit’ was on the other side of the platform from which they entered.Luca had his hands in the air, and everyone could see the coiled bracelets around his hands.Everyone knew they were explosive harnesses, and that drew a huge amount of attention.Arwin looked at him and, seeing L
Luca and Arwin were leaving through the back door of the store. In front of them was Tiranot, he looked at them with hatred, and his red eyes lit up when Luca saw him. Then he said.“Hey man, did you hear!? We’ll be teammates... let’s get along.”Tiranot spat when he heard that, and his saliva, when it touched the ground, it began to smoke because of the enormous temperature it had. Grend, seeing it, said, “I like that! Good teamwork! This is how it should be!”Seeing everyone play a project that raised a forest in front of his eyes, Luca looked at him curiously when Glend, breathing calmly, said, “This is the place where the event will take place. The collectors will let out the Petrican in the forest. Don’t worry, it’s not the only beast in the forest…and the hunters will enter the forest to hunt it… Blaster weapons and multi-shot pistols are not allowed… That thing on your waist, boy,
The sun rose behind the mountain, all the hunters awaited Petrican’s release, Luca looked in all directions at his opponents, and everyone looked back at him with faces full of hostility.He looked at his weapons, and knowing that firearms were banned, he looked at whips, swords, spears, and katars, and confused, he looked at Arwin to say, “Those weapons don’t seem the most efficient for a hunt.”Tiranot instantly smiled when Arwin saw Luca and smiled, but she looked at him with tenderness.She found herself admiring that innocence and that impossibility of thinking maliciously, but seeing the boy, she said, “Luca! They will not go for the Petrican! They will wait for him to die to eliminate the other hunters and take the orb.”Looking at her, Luca observed the forest below. They were on a huge cliff, and to enter the forest, they would have to base-jump.Looking towards the hole where the beast would come out of
Arwin walked calmly. Wendy saw her when the young woman said, “Yes, everything turned out for the best, they gave everyone immunity, and they decided to unsubscribe. The army’s way of doing things is not the best!”Wendy, with a smile, said, “It’s true. It is not! But it’s good that the republic doesn’t follow them anymore. They’ve been close to me for a long time, so you don’t have to worry!”Smiling, Arwin thanked him and said, “I know! The mafia has done a lot for us, and we are available. We will open a special commission agency, and we can take on any job. Any…!”Wendy, with a smile, said, “I’ll keep them in mind then… Tell me! On the hand, how does it work?Smiling, Arwin nodded, saying, “The hand works great! Just like Strickland’s arm, though, he only knows how to complain….!”Wendy nodded and, seeing Arwin said, “That’s great, but if you don’t need anything, what did you come to do? Just to say hello?”Arwin nodded and said, “I wanted to know how you were, but more than anyth
Arwin was unconscious and the warm hand of a person she knew brought her back to reality. Everything was collapsing, and a one-armed man was pushing hard to remove part of the railing that was above it.“Luca.”She whispered when she saw the effort that the man-made toward her. She placed both hands on the railing and, helping him between the two of them, managed to lift her, she looked at him, and he said, offering her a hand, “I was worried, and I came to see how you were!”She, smiling, took his hand and, standing up, said, “It was difficult, but I did it! Is dead!”Luca smiling, began to run to the side of Arwin. Both were injured but kept a steady pace walking to get out of that place. Arwin seeing him, looked at his bandaged leg and said, “You managed to beat Skyler!”The smiling young man looked at him and said, “Nine times out of ten, she would have lost… I was very lucky!”She looked at him and was sure that he was speaking sincerely. However, she also knew how efficient he w
Arwin looked at the man walking towards her. Her shirt fell to the ground and showed a torso full of scars. The man raised his hands, looked at the pirate, and said, “It is said that you were the captain of a pirate ship. Is that true?”Arwin tightened his muscles, and the smiling man said, “I also!”With speed, she approached. For Arwin, it was strange to see a person of that size move at such speed, the man launched two direct blows to Arwin’s face, and the young woman, moving her head from side to side, managed to avoid them.He prepared a strong uppercut and threw it at the girl’s face. She tilted her face back to avoid the blow, but she could only feel the impact and see the entire room move around her. She didn’t understand what was happening.She was sure she had dodged it, but now the whistle that deafened her ears was in accordance with the erratic movement of the lights when the next blow caught her in the stomach.She felt a powerful hollow in her stomach as her legs failed
Arwin looked straight ahead at the swordsman of the black knights, the corpses of his companions adorned the entire anteroom, and he said, smiling, “After killing you. I’ll go find that Skyler guy and finish him off!”She, smiling, calmly breathed as she squeezed the handle of her gun. In that place, the smell of blood began to permeate everything, and the man in front of her said, “This is it. It’s the end!”Taking a step forward, he pressed the handle of his sword. That action generated a reaction from Arwin, who, with full power, advanced. Their steps were synchronized, and in a fraction of a second, the blood on the ground splashed from their strong steps until they crossed each other and stayed behind their enemy.They both calmly smiled, and it was one of Arwin’s daggers that broke at that moment. She looked at it and straightened up, and looked back when she said, “The weapons of the black knights are unmatched!”Seeing the man, he fell to his knees, and slowly, his hands went
Luca watched Skyler. Every move in his mind ended with the man stabbing him somewhere in the body, and even though the sword was severed and its reach reduced, Skyler didn’t look fazed in the least.In a normal fight with a normal person, Luca would have the advantage because of his armory on his arm, but against Skyler, all those weapons were useless. Something about that person was extraordinary, and his ability to fight was beyond everyone’s expectations, including Luca’s.Skyler bending her knees forward, jumped towards him, Luca raised his arm, trying to anticipate the blow, but the union member did not reveal his attack until the last minute.With a precise sword strike to the abdomen, Skyler made Luca step back, activating the barrel of his weapon. He opened his palm so that it pointed at Skyler, and the young man, only leaning forward a little, managed to dodge the shot.Swinging his sword hard, he hit Luca’s arm with the edge making his hand do a huge flip, and with his bare
Arwin and his men arrived at the antechamber of the emperor’s room. They all looked at the door ornamented with the symbol that was the shield of the empire on the doorknobs while they breathed deeply. Arwin said, “Once we go in, probably if we find opposition, they have to be careful and attack firmly. We don’t know what’s in store for us!”But that was not entirely true, and she had a clear notion of what was waiting for her behind that door. Seeing her companions before entering, she said, “Listen, if there are any black knights entering behind this door, I want you to retreat immediately… if you stay, you will die!”One of the soldiers saw her and said, “We will not retreat. If we even die, we have to make sure to make your mission easier, and if the black knights are behind this door, then we will have to face them, that’s all!”She smiled, the support of her men always lovely, and kicking the door hard, she had a split second to see the formation in front of her.Four soldiers a
Holly looked back and could see Loid storming in, firing her gun and sliding on her knees to get behind the wall her grenade had built. Seeing Holly, she asked, “Are you okay?”She was happy to see him and smiling. She nodded, breathing deeply. Loid saw how a fragment of the wall deteriorated and, looking to the side, said, “First, we must move. This won’t last long!”Coming out of the side of the wall, he raised his rifle and, firing several times, managed to hit Ben in the chest, knocking him to the ground. Looking at Holly, they both began to run at full speed towards another iron container.From the ground, Ben threw his nails, trying to kill them, but they moved quickly and managed to take cover.Loid was surprised, and seeing Ben stand up, he asked, “I gave him six shots. How the hell is he intact?”Holly, with a hint of frustration in her voice, said, “He’s reborn. I shot him in the head, an explosion with a grenade, I even hit him with a forklift, and he’s still whole. It won’
Luca was right in front of his enemy. The man in the white suit was smiling despite the wound on his shoulder. The man was looking at Luca carefully when he said, “Do you think you can survive this time? This injury was because you took me by surprise!”With those words, the man threw himself on Luca. He threw a hook hoping that Luca would protect himself but instead, the soldier moved his head from the place of the impact avoiding the blow with ease.The man looked at that, but, far from being discouraged, he launched a strong kick to the abdomen, but Luca, moving with his legs, got out of the reach of the blow. The man started throwing combination after combination, but Luca moved his body kept away from him.The frustrated man felt the pain in his shoulder when Luca smilingly said, “It’s not space mechanics. If I can’t cover myself, then I’m going to dodge everything you throw… your physical condition isn’t very good!”The smiling man shook his head and said, “As if they hadn’t tri
Arwin was running at full speed. The corridors turned into different paths but they had their path well established. They exactly knew which direction to go thanks to Holly’s help. However, the girl had stopped responding, and that puzzled Arwin a bit as he advanced with a glance. A quick glance at the troops that were with her, the girl stopped.She was looking at her men curiously when one of the Mafia soldiers asked, “What’s wrong, Arwin?”She is a quick movement, took out her dagger and, throwing it at full speed, stabbed one of the mafia soldiers directly in the chest, and all the soldiers raised their rifles to point at her. They were terrified when she, without paying any attention to them, saw how the man stabbed in the ground became another person.The guards looked at each other and saw Arwin, and the girl said, “Apparently, he can change his appearance and clothes at will... I don’t know when he replaced one of you, but he did!”One of the mafia soldiers looked at her in su
