"You've got some skills kid. I guess i can't just autopilot this fight" Allen said with a shocked expression
Allen tightened his fist and went for a simple jab which Loyd easily blocked but he felt an impact on his face
"Huh I got hit?" Loyd sounded confused
"You haven't heard of the invisible punch?" Allen replied with a cocky expression
"Invisible what now?" Loyd asked with a curious expression
"I'm not in the mood to explain. Just hurry up and die." Allen responded as he threw a couple of simple jabs which
"I need to be careful, it's obvious he is still holding back even now. I need to start thinking to retreat but its really hard while his eyes are on me" Loyd thought to himself
"Lets see you deal with this next" said Allen as he lunged at his opponent.
In the next moment the distance between them was already optimal for hand to hand combat but to Allen's surprise Loyd had already drawn his gun and was ready to fire. A loud scrunching sound was heard, The emperor had crushed the barrel of the gun before the enemy had pulled the trigger. The face of Loyd was full of fear as of this moment he didn't even think he had a chance. In the next moment Allen struck him so hard in the face that Loyd's head touched his back. Loyd fell unconscious and miraculously alive on the ground as the emperor sighed.
We cut to Ragna and Xander who were exploring the big forest trying to meet up with their teammates.
"We've been walking for a good minute now and we still haven't found anything" Xander complained
"Calm down I'm sure we will find them soon" Ranga tried to calm him down
They continue walking through the forest, passing by different trees and for a while they don't find anything but then they spot a flash of white and purple hair rustling through the bushes.
"Cinister, Alya, is that you?" Ragna tried to catch their attention
""Huh? Is that you Ragna? Oh and you're here" Cinister quickly looked at Ragna
"Shut up, I only came here because of Ragna" Xander replied as he shook his head
"Oh hi Ragna we've been looking for you" Alya chimed in as they all huddled up
"So did you come up with a strategy to win?" Ragna asked Cinister with a serious face
"Of course I did. I mean it is Allen we are up against" Cinister replied with a confident expression while he whispered the idea in all of their ears
"That's really smart!" Alya replied with a exciting face
"Yeah that plan might actually work" Ragna also gave his opinion on the matter
"Well only one way to test it out" Cinister said as they all got in positions for the plan
We cut to Allen who was carrying Loyd, throughout the forest, towards the cage.
"He actually made me try" Allen said to himself "Still I know I don't have to try but it's starting to get tiresome. I just want one opponent who can compete with me"
"Yo it's been a while" a mysterious voice is heard from a nearby tree.
"It sure has been" Allen replied "Alya"
Then a couple of leaves fly by as she appears out of thin air with her firearm pointed at Allen's head, ready to kill him if he even moved a muscle.
"You think you can kill me with the gun that I created?' Allen asked her as he threw Loyd in the cage
"No not really but I do want to talk about something with you" she said as she lowered her gun letting Allen decide to abide her
"Sure I'm interested to see how your little plan plays out" Allen said as he prepared himself to follow her into danger
"What plan?" Alya asked as she took off towards a special location "I only want to just talk"
Alya leads Allen to a desolate cliff which, for once, didn't have anything suspicious surrounding it. Under the cliff, though,the forest continued to expand as far as the eye could see.
"You brought me to a cliff, really?" Allen scoffed as he shrugged his shoulder "It's a perfect set up for a plan"
"Jeez, you know, it's really not fun when we are up against you" Alya said as Cinister and Xander appear behind Allen with a 4 guns which they got by taking down some Black Marketers
"Before even jumping from this plane I saw this perfect little spot" Cinister said towards Allen "Isn't it just a superb way to end an event like this?"
"What did you do to Loyd and Hyoga" Xander said as he held the gun tightly
"Oh you well if you are talking about the boy in the school uniform, he is resting in the cage. For Hyoga, I don't recall seeing him" Allen replied
"Liar! I'm going to kill you" Xander said as he pulled the trigger but the gun exploded in his hand which let his guard down.
Allen uses that time to disarm the other gun in his hand by kicking him in the arm. Xander tries to punch Allen but he dodges and pins him on the ground while catching the gun and aiming it at Cinister.
"What are you doing! Shoot him!" Xander screamed at Cinister to use the guns to kill Allen
"There's no point in doing so since the guns will explode in my hand if I did" Cinister replied as he lowered the guns
"Smart as always, though I gotta say, this plan of yours was kinda bad, so I need to think of a punishment," Allen said as he held up his gun and scratched his head. "Wait, I got it. Cinister, walk closer to the edge."
Cinister walked toward the cliff, the wind rustling his hair and clothes as he calmly closed his eyes.
"You want me to jump off, right?" Cinister asked, already preparing himself.
"Nope. I want Alya to push you off," Allen replied with a cold smirk.
"Huh!?" Alya and Cinister exclaimed in unison.
"I don't want to! I can't do it!" Alya refused immediately with tears in her eyes , but then Cinister leaned closer and whispered in her ear.
"Please, just trust me. I won't die."
"If you don't do it, Alya dies by this gun," Allen said as he raised the weapon. "Five."
"Do it. I'll be fine, I promise," Cinister reassured Alya, gently patting her head.
"Four."
"Fine, but if you die, I'll never forgive you," Alya said through clenched teeth.
With trembling hands, she pushed Cinister off the cliff.
"Wow, I didn't expect you to actually do it," Allen said as he casually walked toward the edge.
Cinister plummeted down the cliffside, crashing through several tree branches on the way. Each impact slowed his fall just enough to keep him alive. When he finally slammed into the ground, pain surged through his entire body, but somehow he survived.
"Cinister!?" Alya called out, both relieved and terrified at the same time.
"I'm okay," Cinister replied weakly as he struggled to his feet.
"Aw, man. I can't believe you survived that," Allen said with a disappointed sigh. "Oh well."
He suddenly fired a shot.
The bullet struck the ground just to the right of Cinister, narrowly missing him.
"What was that for!?" Alya demanded, glaring at Allen.
"You'll see."
Allen simply waited.
A moment later, a Black Market assassin emerged silently from behind Cinister. Before anyone could react, the assassin raised his gun and pulled the trigger.
Bang.
The bullet hit Cinister's head.
Blood sprayed across the ground as his body collapsed lifelessly.
"CINISTER!!" Alya screamed.
"You're too loud you know" Allen said as he knocked out Alya and picked her up along with Xander and on the other hand the Black Marketer picked up Cinister and started taking him to the cage.
We cut to Choi and Scrappy who were fighting Black Market people with Valica and Allie
Choi shot a bullet towards the marketers but in this moment he used the [Blessing of the swap] to get to the place of the bullet while also gaining the insane velocity of it. With this outrageous speed he punched a hole through the coated enemy. The others of his platoon got scared and tried to run away but it rendered useless as Scrappy shot the fleeing members of the market. While doing that Valica and Allie who were hiding behind the duo were ambushed by two black marketers but in that moment Choi and Scrappy turned back to back towards the girls with their guns' barrels side by side and yelled "Bingo!" as the hit the bullseye on both of the enemies' heads.
"Finally we are done with them" Scrappy said as he swept the sweat off his face
"I'm still kinda concerned we haven't found Emily, yet" Valica said as she twiddled her fingers
"Calm down I'm sure we can find her soon enough" Allie reassured her
"I have an idea" Choi chimed in as he whipped the blood of his face
"What is it, bro?" Scrappy said with a puzzling look on his face
"I'm sure Allen has found Emily and has brought her to the cage" Choi explained to the group
"Okay let's got to the cage then" Valica said with a happy smile on her face
"Yeah I just want to see my little sister, again" Allie said
These 3 were sisters who always helped each other with tasks around the house. Since they lived in poverty they couldn't afford clothes, food, water and entertainment but they always had each other which made the pain a little more tolerable. But Emily was the sister that helped them through their fights, arguments and debates. She was like their sun.
When the group of 4 made it to the camp they saw Allen next to the cage but the only people that were there - Alya, Xander, Loyd
"Hey Allen, have you seen an Emily?" Choi asked him while the group got closer
"Yeah she's our little sister and we love her so much" Valica said as she could sense how strong Allen truly was.
"We would love to see her" Allie continued her sister's reasoning
"Don't worry you'll be seeing her soon enough," Allen said.
"Wait, really?" Valica questioned
"Yeah, of course," Allen said, "Well who wants to see her first?"
"I can't wai-" Allie was saying as she stopped at the same time a loud boom was heard. A circular hole appeared in her forehead.
Valica screamed in terror but her fear was cut short too by the hands of Allen.
Choi and Scrappy both widened their eyes at the sight of their comrade killing innocent people with no remorse nor a blink of his eye.
