The dark guardian

C30

—hey, Asap , I think we're really lost, I think the way to that place isn't through here—we were waiting inside the cave—if only we had someone who really helped us get to that temple it would be very different I scratched my head thinking of something, but unfortunately I couldn't think of anything, my head was blocked at that moment.

"What if you propelled me into the sky?" I think that way I would have a better view towards the horizon, don't you think? - It was a good idea, but a little crazy, I wouldn't do what he was asking me.

—no, I don't think so Asap , that way the enemies could also see you—I grabbed my chin trying to come up with something different from that plan, we needed to avoid fighting against that army.

—I suppose you are the guys who entered this dimension and that right now most of the soldiers are looking for you—a voice was heard inside the cavern, but we couldn't see who was speaking to us.

"Who 's there?" I turned on my heels towards the direction of the voice "Come on Asap , give me something to light, I used an old candle that was walking but I couldn't see anything, just a bird that was flying above us, stopping on my shoulder

—I also know the reason why they are here— the bird spoke, it was incredible, but true.

" What?" I freaked out, "How is it possible for a bird to talk?" I can't believe it, I looked at it and didn't accept it.

—How silly you are a boy, in this dimension everything is possible, don't think that it's like your limited world, besides that you came here with your friends to look for Katsuro , right?

—And how do you know?— I took it by its wings, squeezing it a little, it was something suspicious.

—Let go of me, vulgar human—he struggled in my hands—my name is Diddo and I am the wise bird of this dimension, if you want to get to your friend I can guide you, I know this place better than anyone, so I am your only salvation.

"I don't know," Asap said, "I did n't trust this bird. " What if it's all a trap and instead of taking us to Katsuro , it takes us to where the enemies are? Everything can be possible.

—Just trust me , if I wanted from the beginning that I knew they were here, I would have sold them, don't you think?— In a way, he was right.

— Yes , Asap , he 's right—we left the cave in search of a way out, trusting in this bird that we just met.

We were walking inside some tunnels in the depths of the earth, towards a tremendous cold, so much so that it made my body tremble, we were walking with a chattering bird and the idea still did not come to me.

Hey Diddo , why are you helping us?" If we're just a couple of strangers—I was walking behind him.

—for the simple fact that I know everything and I also know that Katsuro 's head will be unfairly cut off. That's why I help you, I know that you are the only ones who can avoid that—it kept flying—otherwise I would have looked for you.

IN SOME ROOM OF THE TEMPLE

A messenger arrived with a scroll, in it, he brought a message. A message that would be revealed to a group of soldiers.

—We are informed that a few moments ago they found Abra's body totally lacerated, in addition to that they also found the body of our other vigilante the fox of death, his body was almost mutilated. What is happening is very serious and not only that, a few minutes ago we were also informed that a large part of the soldiers of dimension four have been crushed like cockroaches.— the others were shocked—we don't know how many our enemies are, but what we do know is that they are very powerful, so the other soldiers get ready.

"How is that possible?" said one.

—We had never fought against something like this—said another, frightened.

JAMES

"Hey, Diddo , how did you meet Katsuro ?" I stopped short, I must have waited for a logical answer.

"You see, this bird you see here is ten thousand years old," he boasted of his extensive knowledge.

" What?" We almost fell back in surprise, I didn't think a bird could live that long.

—That's right, I'm ten thousand years old, I know most of the vigilantes here, but especially I've known Katsuro since he was a child, his childhood was hard so he lost his parents at a young age, he stayed with an old man that he was a teacher, he had to sacrifice everything to be a vigilante. Do not think that his power was obtained overnight, that boy spent day and night under a house each training, so much so that he demanded more than his body could give him. He never gave up, perseverance made him reach the top. His heart is noble and fair unlike the other vigilantes who are damn conceited. He is being condemned in the most unfair way, no one has the right to deprive anyone of their feelings, that's why I hate this fucking shitty system.

"Let's go on" I got up, clenched my hands as much as I could, I had hatred and thirst for revenge, I would never allow my friend to suffer that way because of me. In that instant I remembered all the good times I had spent with him. — Hurry up—I walked even faster.

Hey James, calm down. What's wrong with you ?— Asap said coming after me , a little worried.

I kept walking, on my shoulders I carried the responsibility of freeing Katsuro — it was never your fault for being good to me, partner, I swear on my life that I will rescue you no matter what happens — I spoke to myself .

We got to the end of the road, there was a door with a white background, a white of hope.

—we arrived— Diddo stayed on my shoulder—that palace you see is the central one and over there—he pointed to the top—is the temple where your friend is.— he looked gloomy, but it was not time to back down.

a fortress, James— Asap seemed a bit surprised—my gut feeling tells me that this won't be easy, it has many scales and I guess each scale must be a level or something like that. Do not you believe it?

—That's right, but we don't have time for those things, we have to go in—a dark aura surrounded the palace which didn't allow us a good vision, we kept walking and there was a door, but behind that door I could see a shadow—stop We stopped short.

"Is something wrong, James?" He wanted to know, positioning himself behind me .

—wait a minute, I see something behind that door, I used my sword to create a gust of wind  putting aside the dense dark aura.—that face...—it seemed familiar to me, I think it's...

—Wow, wow... the world is really small, who would have thought that we would meet again— Jinsu appeared —I hope this time our battle is final, you and I, face to face, James. This will be the second and last time I see your stupid face,” he bragged.

—I wouldn't sing victory before time, remember well who was the one who saved you last time—I glared at him, I was prepared for this and more.

—I see that you still haven't forgotten that coincidence and sheer luck you had—he approached me—it's not surprising that you've come this far. I was also informed that you defeated Abra, that means you have become a little stronger since when we met on your planet.

—Thanks for the compliments— I smiled.— but you should save them for another occasion.

And who the hell are you?" Asap raised his voice to Jinsu . "We don't know you and I don't like you."

—stay there—place my hand on his chest—leave this to me , you are very hurt, he is just a vigilante who came to earth. We had a confrontation and he was able to get out alive.

- I thought you were dead since that time, my teacher had seriously injured you that I thought I would never see you again, I don't know how you managed it. - He shook his head taking his chin -

We sneaked up with our hands on our hilts. A great battle was approaching. One that I couldn't back down from, I definitely had to come out as the winner.

—He was sorry to tell you that your advance until here came, I myself will end your life—he unsheathed his sword little by little—it is a pity that you have made such a sacrifice so that everything has ended here.

—I don't think that's possible—I drew my sword running in his direction—I'll kill you without mercy!

"I'm here" he raised his sharp sword.

We both fought with our swords, testing the clash of our powers, at one point the swords leaned towards me and at other times his forcibly.

KAI LOGAN.

"Get down, Astrid, more soldiers are coming." A wave was approaching marching at a good pace with their swords raised and their shields to the side.

—Are you sure you saw them around here? —said a soldier near us.

, I swear, I could see a shadow coming in this direction—pointed

—stupid ! _ Maybe it was an animal and you confused it with a person—knocked it on the head—it's better that we follow my instructions and not those of this inept—they ran away.

almost found us, Kai.— We left the hiding place disoriented.

—That's right, but I don't know , I could see that more soldiers are coming than before. Something must be happening that they have sent more reinforcements.— We walked— Damn! —I stopped.

"What do you have?" Astrid took my arm.

—Don't worry, it's not about health, I just feel two powers colliding with each other, it resembles James's power. Come on let's run" I took his hand.

JAMES

The battle continued between Jinsu and me, the swords tested their power, in each attack we made we created strong gusts of wind around us. Apparently not only I had increased the power, Jinsu too and I'm sure he spent all this time training.

—There is something that still bounces around in my head, James, do you think you can do such a feat? The one everyone says around here, the one that you're going to rescue Katsuro from the guillotine, because if that's real it's a totally crazy idea. You don't know what you're up against, there's a powerful Dark here who won't stand a chance against them, the probability is just zero.

—I don't care if you think that, if there are many or few the result is the same, I didn't come here just to run away and if I have to face them one by one I will do it—I pushed him with my sword.

—We'll see if you pass the test with me—he hit me with his fist in the chest making me go back at great speed—you trust yourself too much and that's a serious mistake, don't think that because you were lucky that time we faced each other you'll have it again. I've gotten ten times stronger since that time. There is no way you can beat me.

—if that blow you just gave me—cleaned the blood from my lip—it was your best let me tell you that I feel sorry for you, because I haven't felt the slightest pain, I thought that this time I would face you and have more power, but I see that the little you have advanced is nothing compared to the power that I possess.

—Perfect—he smiled schizophrenic—it seems that this battle will be interesting, but we'll see how long you can stand up holding all my attacks, don't trust too much, James, you might have regretted what you just said.
