chapter 5
"hey, so since we just agreed we'll most likely be starting a war. how about we train to fight instead of power enhancing?"
Was he serious?
"Uh. yeah! that sound good actually. let's work on getting weapons first though." I chuckle.
"yeah sure. okay so keith already owns both a sword and shield, Daniel has two shurikens, Felicia keeps a spear in her closet, don't think Lloyd has anything, and I have an old battle axe. That means we need 5 more weapons. One for each of your friends and yourself. what do you think they would wield best?"
Information overload. what did he say? Oh, weapons for my friends and I.
"Uh, don't know how you'll get them but Shard is strong, obviously, and likes hands on combat. she know many martial arts from my knowledge. Steel Gauntlets or something that'll let her beat the crap out of her opponent while she stares them in the eyes would be good i think...."
"Okay, Gauntlets. Check."
"Let's see... Jayne, This is a tough one. something lightweight and easy to maneuver, but also easy to put under control while running at light racing speeds. A katana maybe if she had a sheath?"
"Check, and Keith might own an old sheath. I'll find out tomorrow."
Glad to know that he's paying attention and taking this seriously. Okay now for Nikki.
"Nikki, like Shard he's really hands on. small knives or daggers, a short sword maybe."
He quickly jots down more mind notes.
"-And Eris. A scythe... wait. Yeah, a scythe. She's proven to know how to wield a that before."
he memorizes it as i mumble the next sentence. "Even under mind-control..."
"Okay, memorized. What weapon will you be wielding?"
Snapping me from my dark thoughts my head springs up to meet his gaze.
"My weapon?"
He rolls his eyes.
"yeah. what you plan on beating the guards with?"
I laugh, did he really just phrase it that way?
"Oh! My weapon would be... a bow and quiver of arrows."
He looked up at me almost as if to laugh.
"A bow? Why?" I rolled my eyes.
"Well I don't know!"
"fine, fine.but You should have some daggers as well. as an Invisia it'd be easy to sneak around and attack with a short range weapon. long range would give away your position during battle."
The sceptic i am questions his knowledge.
"You know this how?"
"I've done my fair share of hunting."
Of course he has.
"so, you and I should head out tomorrow after the announcement. If we go to the small village on the outskirts of the Andasia Empire then we'll get some pretty decent weaponry."
Wait, Andasia?
"What! You don't possibly mean the Andasia that's made superhuman lives living hell do you? The one that started the whole ' Superhumans are bad!' thing, do you?"
"Yeah that's the one!"
Is he insane!
"We'll get caught! you're crazy!"
He simply laughs at my accusation.
"Not if they think we're powerless."
Powerless? He continues talking.
"As a Telethia my powers are one of the more unnoticeable ones. Keith would be too, but his hair is brighter than the powerless, same ordeal for Felicia. Daniel would goof off, hes not suitable for a mission and Lloyd, as a Nitobi has an array of 3 different powers. Night vision, duplication, and intangibility, otherwise known as the ability to go through solid objects . I was the only one able to get in and out of a human town without being caught. Now that you and your friends are here I have some choices. You're coming with me tomorrow, you might even be able to sneak some free armor if you do your invisibility on them and yourself!"
So, let me get this straight.
"You want me to endanger my life by waltzing into an unpowered village, try to steal armor while you buy weapons, and expect to get out alive? I'm out! No!" I exclaimed loudly.
"No, no, no! They're safe! you'd be surprised at how fearful they are of us, some even pitying the way we're treated. They wouldn't catch us, especially not us. Please come." Seeing how startled he was took me off guards a bit.
"Fine, after the announcement in the early morning. I'm going to bed now."
I grunted tiredly as I treaded back into the house to my (shared) room.
"goodnight!"
"goodnight."
