The dark guardian

C77

The city of London had fallen into total darkness, night had set in and the soul-harvesting wasps were moving in the shadows.

In a parking lot there was a man talking on the phone, but he did not know what was about to happen to him, the subject continued to speak completely normally until he realized that there was something else in that same place. He turned his neck back, still couldn't see anything. He made the decision to go into the shadows and from there three hornets appeared introducing their deadly sting, they immediately began to absorb his soul little by little until they left him like a dried fruit.

Four ninjas had appeared out of nowhere, they were carrying shuriken , they all tried to attack the hornets, but they were too fast. In an unsuspecting move one of the hornets pierced the body of one of the Ninja.

—Here the special forces—reported one of them through a transmitter—we have a wounded and we need you to send the medical corps to attend to him. They still have life but it's quite serious—he repeated with greater concern.

On the other hand , the hornets had escaped with the subject's soul.

JAMES

—I would still like to know what is happening with those guys, since the last time I fought with them I always have that in my head—we had returned to the university, after all I also had my human side and I had to take care of the daily activities, we were in a field quite far away.

"Seriously, you've got me tired of the same old thing, James," Katsuro said with his arms crossed, "believe me, thinking the same thing isn't going to solve anything. "

"By the way, have you seen the news?" Mike asked, "as they have been reporting more missing than usual and this must undoubtedly be that Karius and those insects must be behind all this. "

Jinsu said , " there's no doubt that this guy is carrying out the plans he said. "

"And you?" I was addressing Jinsu . " You still don't know anything about the central dimension or any information that they have given you?"

—Not really, I just know that they sent the special forces here and if they did that it's because they're worried too, just like us—he had his eyes closed and his feet curled up.

"What makes me sad is, Kai, once again he's sad and the whole day I've seen him he's only said two words to me " Astrid pouted.

"What nonsense, just for having lost a dial friend Volt," Jinsu mocked .

—You should have more respect towards our friend, his pain is also our pain, so don't make fun of it, Jinsu —I frowned in anger.

"Are you going to give me lessons on how I have to behave ?" He stood up to face me.

—Please stop now !— Katsuro said aloud—it is not possible for you two not to argue for a single moment, you should be embarrassed to behave like little children, right now what we should concentrate on is the situation.

—You're right —I nodded and sat down again—but the problem is that Billy lately doesn't detect the power of the Volt, how will we find them?

— Laki told me that she was preparing a powerful sensor, but that it would take a little time, meanwhile we have to go out to the streets to look for those things by pure instinct. We cannot sit idly by while the entire city is going to disappear. We can divide ourselves into groups and thus we will have greater opportunities to find them.

MEANWHILE IN A MYSTERIOUS CAVERN.

Karius and all his henchmen were there .

—As you can see, gentlemen, we are in a sacred place where many of our ancestors died before, after decades, this place is a relic—you showed the structure of the cave, it had quite habitable conditions and some statues of lions—that is why I decided that this would be a perfect place for our hiding place, it is also enriched with minerals which have the ability to isolate our powers from the outside world, that way they can never find us—he was on a pedestal speaking like a leader—as you will also know the central dimension has sent a squad group, they always want to poke their noses into these matters, so there is nothing to worry about, I have already measured everything and that is why he believes these things—the hornets came to his hand.

"That's what I wanted to ask you master, Karius ." Bulls bowed.

—These you see here are hornets made with my own technology, once they absorb the soul of a person we can feed on them, not like the old method we had of biting the necks of living people, for a long time this is I considered it a taboo, but times change and so do we. That is why when we take the soul of a hornet it is more concentrated than when we bite the necks, that is, our power would increase about ten times more than usual.

"Is that possible?" Marck questioned.

—of course yes , I know I'll show them to myself—one of the hornets placed its stinger in a glass that Karius had, the strain resembled wine and began to drink it little by little. It didn't take long for it to take effect and his body began to radiate a lot of power, a power that made the veins repaint more all over Karius 's body —this is very incredible, I had never felt so good, without a doubt we should try them all without any fear.

—I won't do it, if you want, you can do it, but I don't intend to take the soul in that way—one of them had objected to such an act—that would be going against the rules that we have always followed and I don't want to break them, if up to now I have been with you I have done it of my own free will but what Karius is doing is an abomination.

— Be very careful with the words you last ace with our leader—Bulls had approached him.

—Are you willing to fight me or what ?— That guy faced Bulls with the same courage—for example, look at you—he pointed to an old man—you were characterized by taking the soul of living people, right?

Of course I did and I enjoyed it a lot," said the old man.

—But look at the consequence that it has now, your body added three hundred years and now you're old, that's why that taboo as Karius called it has its consequences, please open your eyes everyone.

—so you're questioning my work— Karius had put himself behind the boy—it's good that you think about all this, but I can't allow you to continue between us—he dealt him a blow that catapulted him a few meters backwards—try my new speed—then he used a flash step style using his own leg and hit him in the chest causing him to break the wall. He took his neck, placed it on the ground and had his feet on top of the subject's head, moving from side to side in his temples was causing such deep pain that the boy was screaming in so much pain.—I'll tell you just one thing—I kick the guy—if I let him express himself, it's because I'm not disrespectful and I like to listen to everyone, but I want to make something very clear to them and that is that from now on I am the law of the Volt tribe, whoever tries question the things I do I swear I'll kill him. So think about it very well before you open that mouth, it won't be and it will be your last words.

RETURNING TO THE CENTRAL DIMENSION

WOLFPACK

—I have gathered you here because apparently you have defeated the special forces, we thought that our enemy was weak, but I think we underestimated him, that is why now I have the responsibility of sending you to the world of the living.

-really? Sir, but that sounds serious—said cadabra .

—The situation is that. But our main objective is the Volt itself , something tells me that we will face something bigger than we think, but for now they have to go, I already reported them to the supreme court and gave them their names, I think James and his companions are not enough to deal with these guys. So I hope they are very successful.

"One question," said one of them, "why did you choose us and not the others?"

—Because you guys are special and as you know our specialty is destroying monsters, so don't let me down guys.

LAKAI

-sorry for the delay, but making tea requires a little more time and since I do it the old-fashioned way, I take a little longer—I sat at the table in the living room and offered Trasher a cup of tea— I thought that it would prolong making that tracker, but I think it's almost ready, but come on tell me what you were telling me, I'm very sorry for the interruption.

-Yes. As I was telling you, Lord sent me to take care of these matters while he was gathering information in the central dimension.

—By the way, what have you heard from the other side?— Take some of the tea—I haven't heard anything about it in a long time.

—On the other side we are the same as you, the only thing I know is that they were thinking of sending a certain support squad for what is happening here, so that was all I had to say, so I will withdraw—he got up and turned on his heels to leave my house—wait—he stopped short.

"Is there anything else?" I raise my hands in peace.

—I don't understand how someone like Lord could live in this hut—he observed my humble abode, it wasn't a big deal, but we felt comfortable here—on my part I wouldn't have resisted long.

—I'm sorry if my house is not to your liking, but here we have family gatherings that are quite warm and maybe you don't like it because you're not the same as him—I smiled scratching my head.

—Anyway, now if something happens to Lord at least I know where you live, Lakai —he retired .

It was true that in the central dimension everything was luxurious and that the temples of the Dark are bathed in gold, but that was of no use because when I was one I did not feel comfortable as I do now in this world and with the people who surround me. surrounds, sometimes power and luxury are not much in one's life. Today he enjoyed a quiet life without so many responsibilities that I once had. That Dark those who choose today yes , I remember that for my time we were adults, but from what I see those rules are in the past.

IN SOME CORNER OF THE CITY.

Karius and the other Volt were there , they were gathered to test the souls revolected by the hornets, they were all eager to try this new majar which would make them strong immediately.

—Dear subjects, tonight you will be able to enjoy this delicious banquet and you will feel like new, your wounds will heal and the most important thing is that you will become stronger than ever —he smiled seeing how much he had achieved.

He began to serve drinks to everyone and in it he poured the souls in the form of juice. They were all pruning them and immediately their bodies began to change as well as their mood, you could see how their veins stood out on the skin, a luminous flash covered their bodies and then they did small stretches.

"I feel like I've had about a hundred years taken from my life," one said, clenching his hands.

—I can feel again the vigor that I felt many years ago—said another.

"Really, what you said was true, Master Karius ," another of them said happily.

—what they feel is barely the beginning— he presumed Karius —because when we are in the underworld they will realize the power that we should have in the beginning, nobody will be able to do anything to us. Everyone will witness our mighty army. long live the Volt tribe !” he yelled in couplets.

But of all of them there was one who did not want to drink that nectar, it was the same guy who had hit Karius .

-What's the matter? Why don't you want to?” I ask him while stalking him, “don't tell me you're going to continue opposing these things.

—I will, I already told you that these things are against my rules— he shook his head— even if you try to convince me you won't succeed.

—Anyway, you wanted this— Karius took the subject's mouth by force, he didn't give him a chance to escape from his grasp and introduced part of the nectar into his mouth, instantly. It began to radiate such power, it was so much that it lit up the place—did you see that nothing happened? Now you are welcome to our clan—he bared his fangs in front of the boy's innocent life.

JAMES

—This is the Plan—we gather in a circle—we will go in pairs in search of those things, as we still don't have that tracker that Lakai was doing, we will have to do it by our own method.

We all fell back in town to whoever was luckiest at finding the hornets, but without something to track them it was harder to miss finding them. I was going with Katsuro .

"Do you think we'll succeed?" Katsuro asked with Billy on his back.

n't know , we'll find out just by searching.

LAKAI

"Where do you think you're going Kai?" I looked at him on the edge of the bed putting on his shoes. "You don't think you're useful right now, do you ?" Think about it, you still don't have your powers and that way the only thing you will do is expose yourself to the enemy.

" I still want to try to do something," he stood up, very determined to get out of here.

—tell me something, why do you do it?— I wanted to know his main reason—is it because of Ates or because of your pride? Because if it is because of your pride you are acting badly, you should rest enough and then we will see how we can find a way to recover your powers, but first of all there is something that still does not add up to me and that is that in the first instance the Volt were looking for you you for your soul But after Ates died, they said that you were no longer of any use to them, that you were just another spectator. what do you think it is?

—I don't know, but I was also thinking the same thing, I don't know what kind of strategy these guys are up to.

JINSU

—I detect a person in danger, I'll have to go help him—I ran out with my flash step and indeed there was a crying child. — What do you have?—I asked him and he just pointed in front of us. Behind there were those hornets roaming around to take away his soul—don't be afraid, I'll protect you—I unsheathed my sword and began to destroy them one by one

KARIUS

—It seems that this guy is destroying my hornets—we watched them from our den, we had the opportunity to see everything through the hornets.

"What are you going to do about it, Master Karius ?" Bulls asked.

"Don't worry, don't you remember what happens when you cut one of them?" I smiled because I knew what would happen.

JINSU

Dammit. It seems that the more I cut them in two, the more they multiply and the worst of all is that this child does not stop crying.

"Hey kid, calm down. I told you they won't hurt you—I took him in my arms and started to run, having him it was quite difficult for me to fight, but even if more came I wouldn't be afraid. Unfortunately those hornets were pretty insistent.

JAMES

"Do you feel that, Katsuro ?" I think it's the power of jinsu that's rising . ” I frowned.

—That's right—he agreed—you have to go immediately to reinforce it

—let's not waste any more time or else we'll be late—we started running very fast, but we need more speed—I'll use my flash step, are you up to keeping up with me?

—Don't you remember who was your first teacher?
