The next morning went normal, except for the part where Celica discovered Saber's lifeless body. Genny and Leon comforted her throughout breakfast in between Leon and Lukas having staring matches. After breakfast, Leon and Genny let the army know that they'd be getting more supplies, to which they agreed to. The two left out the part of getting Berkut and warning Clive to not endanger their safety even more. As the two left, without any one else noticing, Lukas went after them. When the two were a good bit away from the camp, they heard footsteps that weren't theirs.
"I hope that's Celica reminding me that I forgot money..." Genny said, her voice cracking in fear.
"You can't keep me waiting...it's already to late to try and run away..." Genny knew right away who's singing voice that was. It was Lukas...
"Run..." Leon said quietly before sprinting off, Genny close behind him.
"How did he know?" Genny asked
"He probably dropped in unannounced on our plan. I should've known..." Leon replied as he headed into the forest. "We can probably lose him in here..." After the two felt safe enough to take a break, they did.
"What do we do?" Genny asked, wiping sweat off her face.
"You go. I'll hold him off. I have the ranged advantage along with being able to hide better." The archer replied, pulling out his bow and an arrow. The healer nodded.
"We have a bit of time so let's get more ground between us..." She said. The two eventually made it to the edge of the forest in view of a town until they heard him.
"Ding dong, here I come to find you, hurry up and run, let's play a little game and have fun..."
"Run. Remember our plan, and when you get to town, ask to stay in the inn." Leon said as he placed his hand on Genny's shoulder. "It was nice knowing you."
"Why are you saying that?" She asked
"Just go." The cleric ran off just as the redhead came into view.
"Well well, looks like the recycling can move." The redhead joked.
"You know, it's a beautiful day outside, birds are singing, flowers are blooming, and on days like these, murderers like you... SHOULD BE BURNING IN HELL!" Leon replied, shooting several arrows at his opponent, one chipping his minimal armor and the others missing.
"Oh what's wrong? Your lover died again? Hah! What a pathetic excuse for a human being. How do you think I feel that Clive is with someone else!?"
"The exact same way. The one I loved were both murdered, and both were interested in other people. Of anyone here, I'd know what your feeling the best out of anyone..."
"You know, I'd really like a doll with your beauty."
"What? Your totally derailing the conversation." Then the archer got a swift punch to the face, making his nose bleed.
"Nobody hurts my face." The archer growled before throwing one himself, which Lukas caught.
"I wish I didn't have to ruin my precious doll even more than I already have..." Lukas said as he twisted Leon's arm in a way that arms don't work. The lavender haired archer winced in pain, but still able to kick the solider in his lower region, which didn't seem to faze him.
"What the!?"
"It's called wearing a cup... I'd think you'd know that doll."
"Quit calling me that!"
"It fits you so much better..." Then, the redhead threw another punch, knocking the archer out, before throwing the body over his shoulder. Thank the gods he had the medicine to treat those wounds. For once he felt challenged for once on eliminating his targets. He had to give this one a special treatment. When he got to his abandoned house, everything was left the same as it was the last time he had entered the building. He set the limp body on a chair and got to work on the medicine to heal the wounds that had been made in the struggle. After that was done, the medicine was forced into his victim's body through the mouth, after that, Lukas got to work on the other liquid, adding in a special lavender liquid that matched his victim's hair color. When the mixture was evenly distributed, it was placed into a syringe and injected into Leon's arm.
"You know, I don't do this often Leon, so consider yourself lucky." The redhead softly said as the last of the liquid went into Leon's arm. The archer's skin soon turned into plastic as the liquid normally did, but something else happened. A string came out of his back. Once Lukas could confirm that the transformation was complete, he grabbed a lavender long sleeved dress shirt and a nice pair of pants and started to put it on his new doll. Once the clothes were on him, Lukas went under the new shirt and tugged at the string.
"How do you feel like now?" The redhead asked
"Like dying." Leon replied in the most brutally honest answer he has ever given.
"Now that's not very nice..." Lukas replied, acting like his nonexistent feelings were hurt. "If I get an answer like that again I'm gonna have to give you another shot. How do you feel?"
"Perfectly fine." Leon faked.
"That's much better!" Lukas carried Leon into a separate room from his other dolls and placed him on the bed before leaving. Leon didn't feel fine. All he wanted to do was die so he can be with his loves once again.
