The dark guardian

C85

Tito's powers were much stronger than what we had seen, he had a deck of cards that he used on a table, he did things at his will putting plots in the cave, so far he had already defeated the four vigilantes that they had come with the purpose of stopping the Volt, it was believed that everything was over, but there was a ray of hope, the hope that James and the other boys could get through Tito's traps, could it be that our friends can overcome this test ?-a stranger.

KAI LOGAN

—You still seem to remember me—Azucena had approached me—since the last time I saw you, you've been coming in a lot from what I see, they say you've asked for your powers or am I wrong?

"How do you know these things and why are you here?" I frowned, she herself was not even of this world.

—The truth is that in the central dimension we all manage that information, that is, you know that here we send more vigilantes and through them we obtain everything that is happening here.

"I understand, but you still haven't told me, what are you doing here?" He immediately started attacking me for no reason, "Are you crazy or what?" He formed a sphere of power with his hands and threw it at me. I know what's happening to you but you're acting crazy.

JAMES.

"Tell me, Billy, can you detect any pressure or energy from the guys in this place?" I asked, he was on my shoulder.

"Not really, I feel the presence of a human but something else is going on with this place." He looked in all directions.

"I feel the same way too," kubo added, "I feel that the walls of this cavern isolate the power of others so that it cannot be detected. "

"It doesn't matter, we have to go deeper," I suggested and started walking next to Jinsu .

—I do n't know , this smells bad to me—Mike said, he was behind.

—But in reality I don't think that a Volt has been able to with four vigilantes, they are very strong and I don't think that simple traps that we can find here have been able to stop them—said Jinsu —in which he finished speaking several floating eyes had appeared.

—They are identical to the ones that had appeared before us in the city, right? — I assured, because I could still remember at that moment when many of those things appeared and as I cut them it was as if they multiplied.

"We must be very careful," added Katsuro , " this cavern must not be a normal cavern, please watch carefully where you step or we will be fried. "

TITUS

It seems that my other guests had arrived, I could see them from my camera, I was at my table where I put my cards and the rest was done at my will, I had already finished with those four vigilantes so I don't think that I will finish with these guys be hard work. I think everything is being fulfilled at the pace I want.

What catches my attention is that boy who has a bigger sword, I think that's the one named James, I don't see him as strong as my teammates had said, but I think I'll put his skill to the test.

JAMES

—There is no time to lose, let's attack—I unsheathed my sword with Jinsu , both of us would make a good team to clear the entire front.

think it's all over— Jinsu and I had finished with those things.

"But what is this kind of place?" Mike asked.

—I do n't know , it seems like a temple of some ancient civilization —explained Katsuro —but from what I see it's the perfect place to hide.

"Hey, look up there," Astrid had pointed and more of those things were coming.

—Let's make a plan and attack all at the same time—I suggested, at the moment we all began to fight against all those things, but as always as we were cutting it they became more—we have to come up with something because from what I see this doesn't have The end.

"You have to find a narrower place," suggested Katsuro , " that way they won't have much room to fly and that way we can destroy them all. "

We ran looking for a place with those characteristics, but a huge hand had come out of the ground which hit Katsuro , it had catapulted him to a wall.

"I'll rescue you" Jinsu charged out.

Meanwhile, a huge sword had come out of the ground that tried to hurt me, with my sword I was able to repel the attack, I did not understand where these things were coming from.

—James, look back—Billy had touched my shoulder, behind me came a giant close—I think we're lost—he closed his eyes and I was totally defenseless, if I defended myself from something I was exposed to the other thing, he closes it It was getting closer, but luckily Astrid had saved me with her psychic shield.

—Thank you very much—I agreed—without you it would have gone badly—the sword took another form and now there were several ropes that took over our bodies, Astrid and I were tied all over our bodies.

—You have to do something—Astrid was afflicted, that thing was dragging us little by little, if we didn't do anything we would be absorbed by it .

Damn it can't be that he found me in this situation without being able to do anything and the worst of all is that he has my girl trapped, but my hands were tied as well as my feet.

—They are in danger—Mike had shouted trying to do something, but it was impossible since they were surrounded by those flying things.

—Goodbye, James—he said goodbye to me , but that couldn't be possible, I didn't ask to be defeated by something as simple as this, not after everything I've been through.

KAI LOGAN

—So it was all true, I thought it was a joke, but now that's how I convinced myself —lily slowly walk towards me—it's evident that you've lost all your powers, otherwise you could have stopped all my attacks and only the You got almost all of them.

—Is that why you came here? —I shook my head—I don't like to pity or make fun of my misfortune, it's been enough for me—I rejoined—this is not pleasant, believe me.

"Who's making fun of you?" He raised his hands in the form of peace. "Do you want to be able not to be like this?"

—Of course yes , but how am I supposed to get them?

—That's why I came, Kai—smiled—I'll give you power myself.

JAMES

The ropes continued to attract us little by little and I was still unable to do anything, worse suddenly we were enveloped in a metallic powder that cut all the ropes as if by magic. The one who had done this was Luz, she had arrived a little injured but she was still alive.

—I knew you couldn't die—said Jinsu happily — someone as strong as you couldn't be defeated with these things.

She destroyed the pillars that were behind us.

—You have to destroy everything that generates shadow, those floating things generate light so that the pillars cast shadow and that is how those monsters come out of nowhere—at that moment we were all attacking around us to the point that we had cleared everything that was around us.

TITUS

Damn, apparently that spitting woman was still alive and discovered my strategy—I hit the table where I had my cards, picked them up and relaxed a bit—never mind, I'll have to take other measures with them, but they can never get out of here unscathed here or I will stop calling myself the great Tito, I have never disappointed my master Karius and this will not be the exception.

JAMES

" Katsuro , are you okay?" He looked pale and his skin was trembling a little, he knew something was wrong with him.

—Don't worry, everything is fine—as always he tried not to make us worried.

"I know you're not," Astrid told him, "you still haven't recovered from the last fight you had with Pavard. Also , according to what I've heard, that type of attack directly damages the soul, so don't say you're fine because everyone here we know.

Katsuro agreed— I've felt a bit tired, these things take some time to recover, but I promise I'll take care of myself a little more, but I don't want to be a burden to you either.

"Can you hear me?" A voice ran through the walls, we had all been surprised.

"Who are you, damn you?" What kind of game is this? I yelled at him.

—Very well, I see that you can hear me, let me introduce myself, my name is Tito and I am a Volt, as you can see this cave pot I can dominate as I please, the purpose of the Volt is to become stronger than ever, that we achieve through the hornets, they are in charge of collecting the souls in a juicy nectar that when we drink it our body and our dolls achieve enormous strength, but everything has been the fault of humans, since ancient times we have always been compared to monsters or mistakes of life, you do not know how that rejection feels just for having different abilities, deep down we are human like you and although we have unlimited power the only thing we need is to be happy, that is why we carry a lot of hate.

—Shut up!— Jinsu had shouted—the fact that you've been through that doesn't give you the right to steal the souls of those innocent people, we've also been through very sad situations and here we are—he clenched his hands, still sure of do you feel culoabke for not having saved the child he was carrying in his hands, he hadn't seen Jinsu that way, surely he had learned a little more from humans.

—I see that my words weren't enough for you to ignore , but if they're so hot, I'll wait for you crossing this cavern—was the last thing that guy said.

Okay, I want all of you to stay, I 'll go alone with Jinsu ." He gave them orders, he didn't want to endanger everyone.

"I want to go with you," Astrid said with her eyes sparkling.

—Not this time, darling, you have to stay to heal Katsuro and Luz's wounds, and I also want you to stay too, Billy and of course you, Mike, I need someone strong to take care of them while we go to fight against that guy, ok? - all agreed.

—I promise you that as soon as my body is well I will be able to accompany you—Luz nodded bravely.

—Don't worry, we'll wait for you there—we ran at a fast pace through a dark corridor of the cavern.

"This guy pisses me off," Jinsu said running parallel to me.

—I know that this guy put you like that because of what I speak and that you feel bad for that child who was under your responsibility—I knew that was what made him like that.

“That didn't do anything for me. Don't you remember who I am ?— he snorted.

Reaching a room where there were more pillars.

—If what Luz said is true, we will have to destroy everything that generates shadows—we began to destroy the pillars one by one so that everything was dry.

—They forgot something—said the guy, immediately the eyes were placed on top and illuminated us, our bodies also cast a shadow and without us noticing it, two giant swords had come out that would attack us from behind, I turned on my heels and saw that I no longer had time to defend myself, but by a miracle I saw two subjects who had stopped the attack with their swords.

—Max... Steve...— Jinsu stared at them—thank heavens they're alive, I thought he had also died trying to cross this cavern.

—I know, but we were able to escape, this damned thing will not make us fall into his trap again—instantly the two of them destroyed the flying eyes and the shadows were gone.

—Thank you very much, sir, for saving us—I thanked them from the bottom of my heart, without them it would have gone badly for us.

"It's nothing, we're all a team here," Steve said.

—But what a beautiful family reunion—said Tito through the walls, as always a coward who never showed his face and attacked us behind our backs—I hope they can handle this—some swords fell from the ceiling, we all began to dodge them, but when these fell created more leftovers, more swords came out, but this time Steve attacked the swords again and again, they slowly began to fall—What the hell is happening?— Tito's voice sounded angry, what have you done to him? to my swords?

—My sword has the ability that what it touches or cuts makes it twice as heavy and successively until the object is left as a dead weight—Steve showed the true form of his sword.

—We'll see how you do with this—from another gender shadow a large metal ball with embedded spikes which was heading towards Steve with great speed.

—Not so fast—Max had intervened and stopped him with his sword—do it now—he ordered Steve, who immediately began making multiple cuts to the ball until it was immobile.

—Damn vigilantes and their abilities—said Tito with a furious tone—come back my little ones—little by little each of those things had disappeared,

"I think we're finally safe," Max said as he put his sword away.

"Okay, let's walk more then," I suggested, but enormous debris was falling from the roof with the intention of separating us, it had fallen so much that the path was being closed and Max and Steve were on the other side.

"Don't worry about us," Steve yelled, "we'll find another route and head out later." But you guys go ahead , if you find that Volt go on you'll find the rest so don't waste any more time with us.

—As you say— we both nodded and ran before the rubble fell on us—I hope they are fine too—I said to Jinsu .

—Don't worry about them, believe me they are too strong to be trapped in that rubble, now we have to look for that damn Volt, I bet you he must be a very scared but he only likes to attack from a distance.

—You're right, besides Steve's sword immobilized his dolls, that means he's in recovery mode, which makes him more vulnerable at the moment.

KAI LOGAN

—So you're the one who's going to give me power, you say?— Azucena approached me slowly, but from the bag of her outfit she had taken out something shiny.

"Of course I do and that's why I brought this," a guy with a bracelet showed me.

And what is that supposed to be?" She looked like an ordinary bracelet, she didn't look at him at all in particular.

-This that you see has been a bracelet that has been used from generation to generation, it allows whoever possesses it to reactivate the powers that he once had in his body, this artifact was secret for many years, but the investigation department of Mr. Kaskade discovered it and dedicated himself to studying it for years, so the time has come for someone like you who has lost theirs to put it to good use, come on take it—spread it—don't be afraid, trust me this isn't about a trap or something like that, he wouldn't come from very far to give it to you. Oh, by the way—he expressed—this bracelet reacts according to the soul that wears it, that is, the soul of whoever you can wear it must be sincere, so it does not reactivate in a heart that is full of darkness and perversity.

—So you say that this is what will reactivate my powers?— the need to have my powers again was something that was killing me little by little and now this girl appeared with this light, I hope everything went well since more hope I didn't have it, I took it and looked her straight in the eye.
