The
aliens answered, “She is one of the descendents of the Knight family. She
is an enemy to our Boss and she must be destroyed. Our duty is to catch and
kill her.”
“What’s
wrong with being the descendent of the Knight family?” Max was amazed. He
could not find any reason explaining the cause.
“We
don’t know,” was the reply.
“How
come?” Max was really curious this time, “Why should you help destroy a
life when you don’t even know the reason?”
This
annoyed the aliens more than ever. “Don’t ask any more!” they
exclaimed and took out their weapons and attacked him. Max had to act
quickly. He took out his gun which was hidden under his cloths and battled
them. He didn’t expect that he would kill the aliens so easily. All left
for him to do was to find a way to escape. He ran blindly down the corridor
outside the trial room and up a stair way, where he was pursued by three
Guards. Battle time! When he successfully got rid of his enemies, he ran
into the first room on his right. Inside the room, was a flight of stairs.
He went up and found himself inside an elevator lobby. He entered the lift
with the doors wide opened, pressed the button and ascended up to the ground
floor.
When
the door of the lift opened, two Guards were waiting for him outside. He
fought against them. After that, there were two more Tigas. The safest way
to escape was to go back into the lift and go up.
Max
arrived on the third floor. He turned right of the lobby and found his way
to a door. He heard some strange noise coming from behind the door. He
entered the room—the trophy room (all business trophies) and saw Mohia and
the black-haired girl—now known as Esonia, fighting on the balcony. Mohia
fiercely hit Esonia and she staggered backwards, injured. She drew her
dagger and defended herself.
Max
felt that something had to be done to stop the fighting. He wanted to
negotiate the two out of the fight. He dashed forward and interrupted the
fight, yelling to a surprised Mohia, “Don’t hit her!”
Mohia
gazed at Max for a split second, and then he attacked him. Max pulled out
his gun and defended himself. Esonia seemed surprised that someone would
oddly come to her assistance, but she tried to conceal it. With the aid of
Max, she was able to defeat Mohia. Mohia fled, using magic to burn Esonia on
the right arm before he left.
Esonia
got down and took out some bandage to cover her wound. Max watched her. She
was skillful and he could tell that she often got hurt. He felt
uncomfortable to just watch and do nothing. He offered to help her and
stepped forward. To his surprise, the young woman drew her dagger and
pointed it at him, “Don’t come any closer.”
He
raised his hands, “I mean no harm. I just want to help you.”
“Who
are you?” she asked, suspicious.
“I’m Max Tra Veller.” He introduced himself.
“Why
are you helping me? Which side are you on?” She fired.
Max
was puzzled, “I don’t know what sides are you talking about. I only
helped you because I thought it was wrong of Mohia to beat someone up.”
Esonia tossed her head up and laughed, “You don’t know who I am,
do you? You don’t know why Mohia is after me yet. Other wise, you won’t
be here to help me.”
“What
did you do to make Mohia want to kill you?” Max asked.
“That’s
a long story. You’d better not ask.” Esonia snapped sharply.
“Okay.” Max
nodded, “But first, let me help you with the bandage.” Before she could
react, he touched her injured arm as gently as he could to avoid hurting
her. He helped her dress the wound.
She stood up and
headed out the room, “Whoever you are, thank you for assisting me.
However, I’m not looking forward to seeing you again anytime soon in the
future.”
That was a strange
statement. She disappeared before Max could figure out what that meant.
There was nothing left for Max to do and so he just slipped outside, hoping
that he would not attract any more attention than he had already done. He
managed to escape to the taxi terminal unnoticed. He got into a taxi. The
driver was a bit surprised to see him and said to him, “Oh, they’ve
finished checking your identification, right?” Max was puzzled, (What
happened to this place?) but he knew better than to ask.
The driver had just
started the vehicle. Then, all of a sudden, a blonde girl (Hey, it’s
Heidis!) rushed in front of the car and the driver immediately braked. She,
to everyone’s surprise, ran to the taxi door and opened it, pushing the
driver out. She got onto the driver’s seat and sped away. Max was still
too taken aback to react.
