The Assassin and the Runaways

He pulled out his weapons and ended up breaking this vase nearby. That assassin. Estelle looked at him horrified, and Yuri didn't even bother to look.

"Haven't you heard of knocking ?", Yuri asked as he stood up from sitting on the bed, back faced towards the assassin. "I am Zagi...", he said shallowly, "The man who will end your life. Now die, Flynn Scifo !" And without any warning, he attacked. As he went attacking Yuri, Estelle and I also tried to avoid getting hit by the blades the was he using. "You got the wrong guy !!", Yuri shouted while dodging the blades Zagi was trying to hit him with. Instead of listening, Zagi just replied, "Die", and continued to cut him. "You really should listen more", Yuri replied, blocking both Zagi's blade him hitting him.

"Shinju", Estelle said faintly, "We need to help him !" I nodded, but that assassin was something else. He wasn't like those simple ones. No, he was an elite. "Wait for a moment", I replied, "When I say go, we'll go. Alright ?" She nodded slowly as we watched Yuri block and avoid Zagi.

"My name is Zagi", the assassin said while attacking constantly, "Remember it well Flynn." "Listen ! I'm not Flynn !!", Yuri shouted back, blocking all those hits. You could hear the sound of all that metal clanging together. "Oh what's wrong ?", Zagi asked, kinda creepily. "What's wrong with you !??", Yuri shouted back. "I'm gonna kill you and carve your name into my blood", Zagi said calmly, a dangerous smile on his face. Poor Yuri. "Yeaaaaaah, that's pretty disgusting", Yuri replied, nonchalantly while blocking all that time during their little conversation. "Oooh yeah", Zagi replied, "This is going to be fun !" "Alright", Yuri muttered, now starting to return Zagi's attacks. I could feel as the atmosphere around us get tense. Even for Estelle, I could feel her about to run in without thinking at all. 

"Ahh, now I feel it", Zagi said in amusement as they both breathed heavily. "You feel what ?", Yuri replied, "I'm not feeling anything over here. "Yes, so full of confidence", Zagi said hollowly, "Ah HAH HAHA !!" A numb look appeared on Yuri's face. "Shinju !", Estelle said again, the both of us watching them. Lifting up my Stiletto and signaling Estelle to do the same I waited for am opening. "That's it ! That's it !!", Zagi shouted, "Now I feel truly alive !!" "What's with him all of a sudden ?", Yuri said in a low voice. "MWAAAAH HAHAHAHAHA !!!!!", Zagi laughed coldly and dangerously. He quickly ran to Yuri and attacked him. He slid back as he blocked the attack. 

"Now !", I shouted as the both of us appeared from behind, "Stalagmite !" A large stone appeared below Zagi as it sent him backwards. "Yuri ! Let us help you !", Estelle said as we entered the battle. "Stay away !!", Yuri shouted back in reply. "But- !", Estelle replied, being cut off by Yuri himself. "Bring it !", Zagi shouted, "The more the merrier !" Yuri, looked over his shoulder slightly. "If things get out of hand", he said to us, "Run for it." "I will !", Estelle replied, not even thinking about how she would. How careless of her, that Estellise that I knew. "Yeah, sure, why not", I muttered. "Oh don't give up so soon. I haven't had a fight like this in years !", the disappointed tone of the excited yet, crazy, Zagi said. He went back to attacking, but instead of going for Yuri, he went for me. "Hahaha !", he laughed while I slid back to block his blades, "This is fun !" In the background, I could hear Estelle say, "Relax ! He's only doing that to mess up our fighting !" In my head, I could only think a few words at that time. Whether I died or whether I lived, having someone crazy fighting against you is DEFINITELY NOT EASY AS IT SEEMS. (Why would you think it would be easy anyways ?) "You relax !", Yuri shouted back to her, "Trust me, he's got.. a black heart ?" I couldn't hear what he said in the end. "So that's.. just who he is ?", I heard Estelle say back. To my amazement, those guys were just talking while I was there, trying to protect myself from getting killed. I pushed Zagi back with 'Spread Zero', that helped me regain a little space. 

"The more you talk, the faster you die friend", Zagi said, as he switched and aimed for Yuri again. "Damn it, I am not your friend... Never mind, you're not even listening to me", I heard Yuri grumble. While the entire fight, I began to wonder how Zagi was able to attack and talk at the same time. In the end, I though that it was because he was an elite assassin. Maaaaaaaybe not. I picked up my blade and held it vertically so that the blade pointed upward to the ceiling. A circle of light appeared underneath me as I focused on where the attack was going to land. "Lightning Blade !", I cast as it hit Zagi and caused him to flinch. Estelle took the time and hit him with 'Pow Hammer'. The conversation continued between the three of them, but right now I can't even remember what they said. Something about trying to negotiate with Zagi. "First Aid !", Estelle cast as a light surrounded Yuri. After a while of trying to take Zagi out, it finally happened. What seemed like forever finally ended. 

"Do I look like Flynn to you !?", Yuri said as we looked at the Zagi who was kneeling. "Not in the least", Estelle replied. I watched as Zagi got back up, swaying just a bit. "You've got the wrong guy", Yuri said again, "Aren't you supposed to know this stuff ?" "He's not Flynn !", Estelle said, supporting Yuri. I kept a alert position, but added to what they said. "They're right", I said, "He is not here at the moment." "Details ! Details !", Zagi said uninterested, "Bring it !" "This guy's nuts !", Yuri said, "Flynn sure has made some interesting enemies." At the moment, I couldn't even think about what could go on next. Just as I shifted my position, this guy wearing a black hood, came from the door and spoke to Zagi in an alert tone. "Zagi, we're leaving", he said, "The knights are onto us." I was taken by surprise when Zagi hit him and knocked him down. That hooded guy got up and wiped his mouth. "How dare you", he said coldly. "Hah Hah Hah !! Mind your own business ! I'm just getting to the best part !", Zagi replied, having that creepy grin on his face. Just like when we were fighting him- nothing but that creepy looking grin. "Hurry, before the knights get here", the hooded guy said, "Or would you rather have your fun end today ?" We watched as Zagi turned his head slowly towards him and cut him down. Then, he slowly looked over his shoulder with an eerie smile. And then, he walked off as if nothing happened. 

"We should be getting a move on too", Yuri said after a moment of silence, "....We'll just go pay a visit to the goddess and be on our way."
