Grease.

It was obvious, a win for the Henchmen and the Henchwoman all seems to become true as Aje left a cut on the fulminating Humanes' neck.

Abbey rested his hand aganist the bleeding neck that dripped down to his robes, from afar Vikki could tell it was a serious cut from the way he bleeds but only the man himself with the cut on his neck could actually felt what was going on however, the fulminating Humane still pushed forward. He had been through worst. Then a push from Aje as he shoved the fulminating Humane back with his large blackened shield which Abbey lightly moved back.

Abbey gained his ground while glazing at the blackened armour In front of him while holding his bleeding neck, his black hair swaying with the wind along with thunder, lightning dominating the dark skies above them. He scoffed staring at the shaded claymore on Aje's hand reflecting the lightnings above; Never was it an ordinary sword, cutting lightnings in halves, slicing through the grounds easily then went as far as cutting through Abbey's electrifying barrier and skin.

The forces of the Inhumanes shouldn't be reckoned with. He knew that of course, however this was Abbey; The egotistical and unwieldy Abbey, this, in front of him was another Jared to beat, another Jared to show who was better, then lightning discharged out from the ground where Aje stood in which he evaded by blocking the lightning with his large shield pushing him many feets in the air, unknowingly above him, lightning within the darkened skies struck Aje.

Vikki was stunned only watching Aje in between the lightning bolts from the sky and from the ground. As he remained in that position more and more of lightning bolts discharged from the skies and grounds hitting Aje in all directions as strained groans was heard underneath the eerily thundering sounds.

Aje's in pain, he w-won't endure much longer… I need to do something. Vikki said to herself while coming out from her hideout, she clenched her fist glaring to Abbey with her squinted violet eyes as the deep, rumbling sounds of the lightning shook the grounds with strong winds blowing off the debris and dust away from the area Aje was being electrocuted.

"You will need this." Someone said beside her, she looked, her hair slightly blocking her view. It was Casaba, holding her weapon towards her, she shoved her hair to the other side and collected it without saying a word, held the handle of the Sai with both hands then extended it, turning the Sai into a 'Trident'

Before anything she charged towards Abbey, He turned his eyes to her then he smiled.

"Ha. I was just wondering where you where,"

Vikki stretched her trident for a quick jab as Abbey avoided it after, she held it over her head, spin it and went for his leg in which Abbey leapt back as Vikki scrabbled the ground with the trident throwing many debris at him. In a flash he was right behind Vikki before she could react, Abbey grabbed unto her blond braided hair.

"Don't move unless you want to be charred like your fellow friend trap in between my raging bolts."

Vikki froze as she felt, strains of her blond hair rising up one after the other from her head, her skin felt like she was having goosebumps all over noticing the other hand of Abbey still on his bleeding neck, seems it wouldn't heal as normal wounds do because it was from Aje's blade then she rolled her eyes up, the clouds right above her were rumbling. This as well could be the end of her.

Behind Abbey, every lightning bolts striking Aje suddenly went to the absorber, then Aje cratered deep to the ground in smokes.

"Let. The. Girl. Go." Casaba said, while beside the absorber, kneeling to the ground with his hands trembling with flickers of lightning. Abbey glanced at Casaba, then Aje stood from where he had fallen with his weapons still in his hands, never was he letting it go from a damage like that.

Casaba, noticed then he waggled both arms as his weapon came out from his cloak while glowing bronze in one eye.

"You've been warned." Casaba tekkokaki's blades clanked.

Abbey observed the weakened absorber kneeling, knowing full well he can't absorb any more of his lightning only if he want to give up his life, perceiving he'd have reached his limits.

"Let's see among the two of you standing there, who is faster-than-the-speed-of-light." Abbey taunted holding his bleeding neck and the other on Vikki's hair. In an instant lightning struck above Vikki--Casaba teleported while Aje zoomed from his position.

Casaba was seen holding Vikki then Abbey removed his hand stained in his blood from his bleeding neck as he stretches it to Casaba's face while it sparked, Casaba's eyes widened, his teleportation wasn't fast enough to move him and Vikki away from the incoming hand of Abbey, however Aje was already behind Abbey going for a swing around Abbey's neck, this time for sure, decollating him would do. Before he used such prior opportunity on Abbey.

The Humane went to the sky in lightning, traveled through the clouds towards where the absorber knelt. He descended to him, at that space of time half of his body along one of his hand were formed in glows within the whitish-blue lightning with a smirked,

"Sorry for the inconvenience but your life is mine—" Abbey proclaimed.

The absorber raised his hands.

"Now, is my turn."

Abbey blinked. The absorber's hands gave off an odd surge of power then he gave a weak smile.

'For every action there's a equal but opposite reaction.'

He stretched his hands as a stupendous red energy bursted out of it.

Huh? Two potencies… just like the princess? Abbey panicked, which was his first in the fight.

The blackened armour noticed, he rolled out of the way while Casaba teleported himself and Vikki away as the huge surge of red energy struck Abbey pushing him to their direction destroying everything in it's path.

"Huff. Huff. That was my element of surprise." The absorber fell down flat with his face first.

Before long, an orange light sparkles up in the sky.

"That's from the beanie guy." Vikki said, staring northward in Casaba arms.

"Yeah. So we're retreating, for what reasons?" Casaba said as Vikki pushed him away from herself.

"Lets get going.. the bounty collector's order." The absorber talked with his face in the ground.

"Huh, where are you going Aje?! The hideout's the other way." Vikki pointed out walking to the absorber.

"Let him be. He is never under the Bounty Collector anyways." Casaba told.

"Tell him, I went on an errand. I won't be back for sometime." He told before leaving them.

Vikki stood still while staring at Aje as he walked farther away from them, Casaba watched a little then walked to the absorber still laying on the ground, slowly and gently carried him up as he slightly grunted then both of them walked towards the hideout.

Vikki hesitated a little but gave a labored sigh then followed the two henchmen.

An errand? From who?
