&#x3C;p&#x3E;Chapter Ninety-Four:&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;strong&#x3E;The Third Brother Pt. II&#x3C;/strong&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;You guys are back?&#x201D; I attempted to ask, while suffocating. She took pleasure in torturing people, including herself. She was very sadistic, and this was no means a welcome from her. Just a mirage of a suffocating tool.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;Just arrived back, now in a meeting. Such a drag if you ask me&#x2026;&#x201D;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;Edmon watch your tongue!&#x201D; Astlin snapped towards her second, who was planted atop a chair. She sat in a stool beside him, with her legs crossed and smoking her favorite pipe.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;Sorry&#x2026; sorry. I am just saying, you said after we dropped off the prisoners we were going back to sea.&#x201D;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;That was before we were called here, idiot.&#x201D;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;The two bickered, but Yuri escaped the grasp of Rose. He noticed the markings of a harsh fight on Edmon. The wounds were healed, but the bandages proved otherwise.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;What happened, young Edmon?&#x201D; Yuri asked Edmon.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;You are only four years older than me, plus I am nineteen Yuri!&#x201D;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;Oh, Edmon got in a fight with that bounty hunter Whistler. He beat him too!&#x201D; Rose chanted, boasting an embarrassed Edmon who was looking opposite of everyone. &#x201C;Right, Eddy? Right?&#x201D;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;She continued to tug his arm, which looked if she wanted to pull out the socket whole. He ignored her snatching his arm back. Astlin blew a bit off smoke into both their faces to stop them.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;Enough fooling around, Rose&#x2026;&#x201D;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;S-sorry, lady Astlin!&#x201D; She bowed to her, while Astlin looked away from her too. &#x201C;Even lady Astlin, can&#x2019;t acknowledge me.&#x201D;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;A dark cloud levitated around Rose. It was the feeling of her pity that made her drop to such a distraught feeling.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;Lively as ever, I suppose. Outfit Two is always like that. Bunch of pirates.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;Dante.&#x201D; My own captain called out. He was such an anguished man. He kept his face hidden behind the light blue fur coat, with a white mask covering his entire face. Large spec op goggles hiding his eye color.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;He quietly dashed towards me, with hopes of receiving a package I bought for him.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;Do you have it&#x2026;?&#x201D; He attempted to whisper, but was in a regular toned. His hand covered his lips and my ear. Everyone became in denial, since he always does such things.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;Calm down, captain. Here you go&#x2026;&#x201D;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;Thank you, Dante!&#x201D; Captain Apollo yelled, hugging me.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;Do you really think he is going to attempt it again? I mean it is what his fiftieth time now?&#x201D; My other high-ranking member in my Outfit asked. Steele a former member of our world&#x2019;s navy, held had both her katanas holstered behind her back.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;For a former Admiral, she sure did not look old enough for that rank. She was twenty-seven but she could sure be a model if she wanted too. From our time here, she grew out her blonde hair which was in a small ponytail. Her black coat was cut off to her hips and unbuttoned, with a bandage over her chest. She wore white pants passed her knees, with small black and gold botts to her ankles. She wore a white headband that tied partially over her hair and forehead.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;I would say his fiftieth failure&#x2026;&#x201D; I muttered.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;Captain was what you could call desperate for affection. He asked me to get him a gem for Astlin, so he could ask to marry her, again. She turned him away with a boot in his face.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;A slight huff of wind came from a couch across the room. They mocked Apollo.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;Hmph. Foolish&#x2026;&#x201D;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;It was Outfit Zero, who Yuri walked to sit next to. Yuri, Natasha, Inra, Asaka, and Almoses all were prompted up if they were higher class then the rest of us. All wearing black coats, with suits or dresses, under them. Almoses never wore any clothes and just remained in his normal hide. He stood behind the four with his arms crossed.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;Is this really how foolish of a guild, the bottom feeder Outfits have become?&#x201D; Inra asked, disgusted by Apollos&#x2019;s desperation. He turned to her with an irritated sigh. Astlin sat down her pipe, biting her lip.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;Astlin and Apollo, you both have let to much go in your respective Outfits. I cannot say how disappointing this is. Given the circumstances of what is to come.&#x201D; Asaka bitterly pointed out. &#x201C;You both are trivial captains. Foolish just like the ones whom we defeated at Fairot Lagoon.&#x201D;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;Yes&#x2026; we get results, but much can never be said about the rest of you.&#x201D; Natasha added, nodding towards me.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;I see&#x2026;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;That&#x2019;s true&#x2026; hell I never knew who our captain was, until we met him some days ago. Now, he is the true second command behind Layek of course. Oh, and Almoses too.&#x201D; Yuri cleared up.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;Astlin and Apollo both were becoming agitated by the know it all captain. My throat became dry, as I wanted to intervene. Apollo was one of the better captains, despite his desperate overlaps. Astlin herself, made great soldiers of what she had. Powerless Edmon and Rose who was more focused on lust than fighting.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;This display will be dealt with privately. Disgusting.&#x201D; Asaka mentioned, as the two dropped their heads.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;May I speak, captain Asaka?&#x201D; I asked.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;Hmph&#x2026; go on.&#x201D;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;You pit yourself as untouchable but with your ability, all that needs &#x2013; &#x201C;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;Enough, Dante. Keep your peace. That is classified.&#x201D; Layek interrupted.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;I bit my lip in anguish to hold back my anger within. He grasped my shoulder, as if I was a sickening son of his. Labeling me with such fruition dented my anger, to a bottom feeder of frustration.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;Boss.&#x201D;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;My lord&#x2026;&#x201D; Asaka notioned.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;Everyone else greeted him, either bowing their heads or dropping to a knee.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;Please lift your heads. The time for talk is over.&#x201D; Layek mentioned. &#x201C;I am afraid an enemy inside of our ranks has came to be. We do not know who, but understand this&#x2026; you three Outfits are my most trusted. Please prepare for battle.&#x201D;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;Natasha&#x2019;s eyes widened just like mine. We had thought we were discovered, but it was not the case. They only knew of the small rebellion that was forced. The real war had yet to begin, until AFK arrives with their army.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;As you know, we had dispatched of AFK. They are no more, with the doctor and &#x201C;Gray Coat&#x201D; being sent to Zetra Isle for eternity. &#x201C;Flame-Hair&#x201D; and the girl were taken care off, on deaths bed by the time Outfit Zero left. Taking care of this pity rebellion will give us lea way to begin our true mission. Astlin send your Outfit to guard Rowet, with both Rose and Edmon.&#x201D;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;Sir, why not myself?&#x201D; She asked.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;I trust your subordinates can handle guarding the communications tower that will indicate who is planning to attack us. You will join Outfit Zero, as of now. Your job is to guard Darmins Hall and be on the forefront of this battle. Alongside Astlin, Apollo you will join her in this battle with Outfit Zero.&#x201D;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;I understand.&#x201D; Apollo nodded.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;Dante and Steele. You will team up with Natasha who will see over Outfit One for the time being. She is a better leader than her brother, so its only right she leads Outfit One for now. She did good as the active substitute for Zero, while Asaka was undercover.&#x201D;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;Wait, this is too good to be true&#x2026; Natasha as our captain for now. While the assault was close to beginning.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;My questioned loomed of whether Layek knew I was the traitor or not. This was just too good and quick of a change to our defense plans.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;Outfit One will patrol the streets of Darmin going through every location they can think off. We must find the hideout if there is one.&#x201D; Layek ordered, as all three of us nodded.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;Inra, I must send you alone with a couple soldiers from the guild to a separate mission. There is a feeling I am uneased with now. We shall tall later it, but you head to the city below Darmin. Siwang Village. I need you to make sure the device to our plan is secure, even with your life!&#x201D;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;Understood. Are you suggesting something is going to happen with Zetra? Or that they are after the device?&#x201D; Inra asked.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;I cannot say yet. Something feels off about the stalling of this rebellion. If they were waiting for something almost. Block off the secret tunnel to Zetra.&#x201D;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;If you feel someone from Zetra like the guild there, will escape. Why not send more of us?&#x201D; Astlin asked.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;I have sent a Demon Captain to ensure there is not anything happening.&#x201D; Layek responded.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;A Demon Captain&#x2026;?&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;Those outside of the ten spots of Generals, are given the rank Demon Captain in the Demon Army. In total, there are twenty-five of them. They act as operators under most of the ten. One is appointed to every general, sometimes more. They hold special abilities just like champions and generals.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;But&#x2026;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;They are fierce because they show no remorse. This rank is a disrespect towards them. Some feel entitled for a general spot. Others feel their talents are being violated.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;Either way, one enough is dangerous.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;Layek continued to lecture taking a seat on his throne chair, facing everyone. He placed his hands together and grinningly smiled.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;Almoses, Astlin, Apollo, Asaka, Yuri&#x2026; you are the knew Outfit Zero, who will guard Darmins Hall with me. When we kill off this rebellion, we will then go forward with our plan. The plan to infiltrate Elbaronce, to kill AEGE!!!&#x201D;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;My feelings towards his statement were hidden, as I smirked like I was agreeing with him.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;Hmph. Sorry Layek&#x2026; I doubt you will beat us&#x2026;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;

&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;strong&#x3E;A war that has caused a continuing rift between two worlds!&#x3C;/strong&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Mysterious rifts open around the globe, transporting regular people to another world. On a normal day a teenage boy, Jai Marshall and friends are sucked in. The group is forced to serve as champions of the world. This sequence of events is not at random considering Jai&#x2019;s older brother Omar was formerly a champion of this world. Jai will do anything to ensure the safety of his friends inside a world where the unexpected is constantly broadened. Even though the group is equipped with ancient abilities from past champions, the task they have been given is a great mountain to climb. Can Jai and his friends survive this world?&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;

AFK
