Infiltrating (2)

Leon was brought back to the cage, Ariel was taken back again.

Leon shouted but his screams couldn't do anything. So he sat down, and started collecting strength again. Leon looked to be concentrating and meditating to calm down.

Ariel was dragged by the man to the room where Leon was previously. She held a scared expression and started crying looking at the well dressed man.

"Look, just tell us everything and we'll Gove you guys a new life. We might look it but we are actually really nice people." The well dressed man said.

Ariel didn't respond. She kept her mouth shut. She knew if she said something she would slowly spill everything.

"Fine, I didn't want to do it this way." The well dressed man summoned his brown soul book. It wasn't brown like the earth element. It was a dirty brown when an evil and disgusting look to it.

The man summoned a beast. It was just a floating eye ball. "How do you like my primal beast, It's really rare, an evil eyeball is one of the rarest beast of the evil element."

Ariel had her eyes widen and grow even more nervous.

"I don't like using this method because it usually leaves the other person as a brain dead idiot." The eye ball had a swirl formed in it and Ariel seems to lose the glow in her eyes. She had been hypnotized.

"So tell me why you came to Grassland City."

"We came to Grassland City to find a place to stay."

"Why do you need a place to stay?"

"We don't have a home any more, we ran away from it."

The well dressed man nodded and thought, "Both the siblings had said the same thing when they were brought here earlier so they must have decided on a story coming here. Looks like I was right to use the eye."

"Why did you run away from home."

"My relatives sold me away to the Blood clans. But my brother saved me. So we both had to run away or I would be captured again."

"Why were you sold to the Blood Clans?" The well dressed man felt like things were getting interesting.

"I was told that I was born with a unique physique that made my talent in the Blood element much higher then everyone else but I can only contract blood beasts. So my ice clan gave me to the Blood clans for marriageble material while they got territory in the Blood continent in return."

The well dressed man was surprised, he quickly ended the hypnosis. "Get me a mind clear pill, quickly! We can't let this jewel lose all value!"

Ariel woke up and didn't know what was happening. She put her head back and started drooling.

The man got the pill and fed it to Ariel.

It took a while but Ariel gained some life again as she looked around.

"It must be because of her physique, she didn't go brain dead and recovered a bit."

"Send her to the main hideout and have them train her. If she does have such a valuable physique we all can be promoted." The well dressed man said.

Soon Ariel was brought out and taken by the man to a beast rider.

"She could be some one really talented, take care of her as you bring her to the main hide out."

"Okay." The man on a Black culture said. He then flew away with Ariel sitting behind him tied to his chair.

The man broke through the forest trees and broke into the sky, he then flew towards the border of the Nature continent and the Fire Continent.

Ariel behind him, stretched her hands and broke out from the chains and hand cuffs. The main surprised turned around.

He saw a young ruby haired angle floating in the air shedding a layer of Blood. It was a fake skin layer Ariel had created so she wouldn't be damaged by any attacks. It also fell off her hair. Her hair were made to stretch out a bit so it wouldn't hurt when they were pulled.

"You guys think such a weak hand cuff can seal my magic?" Ariel waved her a hand and two blood spears appeared. They pierced the man and the vulture ending them.

Ariel looked at the Blood coming off her, "I'll have to get rid of all of it because you touching it has corrupted it." She shed a layer of skin and quickly returned back to her true

self.

She looked back and said, "Now it's Leon's job to do the rest. I'm free to do what I want for a while then." Ariel teleported away.

Leon sat in his cage trying to calm down. The man with the whip walked to the cage and opened it up. He had just given Ariel away. "Let's go."

"Where's Ariel? Where's Ariel?! What did you do to he?!" Leon shouted as he was dragged away.

Leon was brought back to the chair. The well dressed man looked at Leon.

"We killed your sister. It's what we do to liars. We're going to kill you to."

The man summoned the evil eye ball and made Leon look into it. Leon assumed he was suppose to see an illusion of himself dying and and then faint. So he fainted as well.

"Take him upstairs and give him a Holy centipede to contract. He'll wake up with the new memories."

The man took Leon upstairs and laid him on a bed. He brought out a box of brown centipedes. All the centipedes suddenly got frightened and started escaping. The man was surprised and didn't understand what just happened. Leon told the Dragon in his body to its aura completely. After the aura disappeared the centipedes returned to normal.

He slapped Leon on the cheek and said, "Wake up, Leon."

"Your in Pandora's Grassland Hideout. You came here to deliver a message but fainted before you could tell us anything."

"What?" Leon touched his head, "I can't remember the message."

"It's fine, I don't think it was too important. You should rest." The man said. "Here choose a Holy centipede to contract so you can finally become an official member."

Leon picked one of the centipedes up. The man kept on looking at him. Leon then dropped his blood on the centipede.

The man nodded, "rest, I'll come later to tell you more."

Leon nodded, "Thank you."

The man waved and left.

Leon looked at the centipede in his hand, "holy centipede? clearly it's a corrupted centipede." He cursed its head and killed it. Then with a fire he burned all the remains away. The blood he had dropped was formed from the blood energy he had in his body.

"It looks like they wanted replace my memories to an unofficial loyal member of Pandora that had come to deliver a message but was injured on that way. His bravery and service is rewarded and he is upgraded to an official member." Leon laughed as he thought of it. "Unofficial members?" Pandora didn't have any! It was probably just a ploy used to make people more loyal since they have been in the organization for years.

Leon waited for a while and the man returned. He looked at Leon, "You have gotten used the centipede I assume?"

"Yes I have, It's truly a Holy centipede, I can see myself growing stronger."

"Good summon it for me to see."

Leon nodded. He formed a brown summoning circles and a centipede came out. The man nodded, "I'm Harold Blue. My name is Harold while Blue is my rank, Pandora official members are ranked as Red, green, blue, purple and Black. You are now a new official member so you'll be Leon Red."

Leon nodded. The centipede was the Chimera transformed.

"Good. Come with me, I'll have some people take you to the branch hide out of the Nature continent."

"This isn't a branch hideout?" Leon asked curiously.

"No, this is just a small side hideout that reports the branch hideout." The man said.

Leon looked impressed. Inwardly he said, "It was the same in my past life, So I can assume that most of the knowledge from my past life is correct." After hearing the man.

Leon was brought to a room. It had three other people waiting.

Harold spoke, "That's Anna Green, Jacob Red and Ben Red. You will be leaving these three."

Leon said, "Hello, I'm Leon Red."

The three nodded.

"Now you four can go." Harold said as he moved back to open the gate.

When the gate opened Anna summoned a Flowing Water Eagle. The other three jumped on. She then launched off and brought them to the hide out.

Along the way Leon spoke to Anna, "So how are we suppose to rank up?"

"You will need to complete missions." Anna said.

"I see, is their a difficulty to the missions?" Leon asked.

"Yes."

"So higher ranks can do better missions?"

"Yes, why are you asking all of this?"

"I want to help out Pandora as much as I can, So I'll need to to get a higher rank first and then help Pandora expand." Leon said with enthusiasm. He then sat down and started thinking, as if planning what to do next and what type of missions to take.

While inwardly he thought, "So I want to join the mission of stealing the branch of the Tree of life. I'll need a high rank for that."

The rest of the trip was spent in silence.
