Chapter 26: Uneven Order

Chapter 26: Uneven Order

The two stood in a single position Eri already analyzing his enemy, there was no doubt this figure would be as quick as hell and would have ultimate skills Eri would find hard to match.

"Everyone's dead Eri, what's happening?" Gambit was already aiming his hand up to the mysterious figure ready to rain hell on him.

"AHHHHHHHH!!!" Colby screamed to see all his allies dead. His pain was understandable. Who wouldn't scream when it happened so fast.

"You have to run guys," Eri was done with his analysis, even he was not sure if he could match this man in front of him. Anytime he tried using the Eye of truth it would show,....

[Run]

Eri shook his head, what sort of dilemma is this? Not only was he derailed from his mission to go home and at least find his sister, now he was going up against a powerful enemy.

"What is this?" The figure finally spoke increasing the tension in the air.

His voice was dark and like a deep gurgle.

"I never thought there was someone else who watched the first announcement till the end," the dark figure laughed maniacally, "am I right Eri?-"

Eri gasped for air, now his heart was all muffled and his brain running through different possiblities, "how do you know who I am? Do I know you."

The figure gestured with his hands, "yeah we know each other fool, how's your sister? Oh sorry did I mistep because she might be dead, since she isn't here...."

"She's alive!" Eri curt with a frown, an enemy that actually knew him? He started to look through anyone who had this height and voice, the figure wore a wooden mask japanese used to scare off spirits relatable to that from Animes.

"So much faith, do you not know what world we are in Eri? The uneven Order," He pointed at the sky and continued, "the main scenario will soon be ready and you are still this weak. Your world will burn and those behind you, those you try to protect will all perish---"

"Shut it you Obito wannabe!" Eri tightened his fist and his knife in his other hand, he suddenly had a small grasp on who this was. "Why are you telling me this? Why did you kill those people? Certainly if you knew me why hide your face?"

"You are too weak to know any of the answers now Eri, but, let's say I was simply passing by," the figure turned his back to them and yawned, "now that Barnabas is dead I guess I am done here."

"Wait!" Eri ran foward till he was directly under the tree where the guy stood, "I still have questions you bastard!"

Eri bent his legs in a crouching position bouncing off the ground like a spring and letting the after-wind blow the leaf's and dust in the air like a whirlpool in the air.

He reached the tree trunk and landed softly on it.

"You cannot get your answers from books every time Eri, sometimes Experience helps."

Eri searched the branch and did not see the masked man until he looked upon another tree a twelve yards jump away.

The masked fellow placed a hand on this tree and stared at Eri from his mask.

"The future of this world is uncertain, I suggest you get strong enough and get to Rika safezone as fast as you can, your sister needs you," the masked fellow was gladdened by the flattering on Eri's look and gaze. He truly treasured his sister.

"Wait, what happened in the Rika Safezone about my sister?" Eri now cried out for information as if it carried his life force with it. But the masked man only turned away and started to jump from branch to branch without replying.

Eri did not endeavour to follow already having his fill of confusion before hearing with his keen ears.....

"Bad stuff."
