Rise: A Red Seekers

Rudra pulled Arya into an alley they reached while running.

"Take this." Rudra handed Arya a small pendant. "If we get separated, this will help you find me."

"There they are." One of the red soldiers had found them.

"Run." Rudra pushed Arya ahead to run on front of him.

They ran through the alley dodging people and shops and the reds chased behind them.

"Don't lose them don't lose them." One of them shouted.

Arya turned to see that behind them were at least 5 red soldiers, chasing behind them, determined to capture them.

It then that he heard a low propelling and wind cutting sound coming from either sides.

He looked to his sides. There were two more people in the alleys parallel to the one they were in.

Those two were travelling on N65s. Those were some really high tech and speed, magic stone powered mobiles.

They kept on running but the ones behind started closing in.

Rudra pushed a set of steel pipes leaning in the wall and overturned a cart of spices. Although the speed of the speed of the pursuers did reduce, it was not significant.

"Stop or we will shoot." One of them shouted.

The others readied their guns but Rudra did not stop nor did Arya.

Beams of Lasse started getting fired at them.

"Not the boy...The boy needs to be alive."

Rudra took out his revolver and started charging it. The revolver started glowing blue and a beeping sound was heard which gradually increased pitch.

"Arya, no matter what, do not look back." Rudra shouted. "Keep running."

The lasers that were flying above Rudra's head were starting to miss him by an inch.

Rudra had to shoot if he wanted to not let the lasers touch him.

Suddenly he turned around faced the men and pulled the trigger of his gun. Five rounds of lasers were fired at the same time.

The bullet rushed, cutting through the air and hitting one of the reds squarely in the chest and exploding. The explosion took down two of them and the impact blew the others into the walls of the houses.

The lasers that ran towards Rudra were getting repelled by a yellow energy shield that was protecting him but it could only withstand four hits.

The fifth one broke through and grazed his right shoulders before hitting the wall behind making a hole in it. The shot would have hit him in the head, had he not slightly shifted to his left.

The laser had burned his shirt and the skin underneath, revealing a layer of muscles and blood.

"Tch...aagh! Hurts like fuck...!" Rudra muttered to himself. He put his hand on the damaged portion and it glowed slightly in a golden hue. Some of the damage could be healed. But it was still fresh.

Rudra began running again.

Arya had run a little ahead of Rudra but the whirring sound sound of machines were closing in.

Suddenly one of the N65 rider was in front of him, holding a forked spear that sparked electricity at its tips.

The rider charged towards him.

Someone shouted, "DUCK!!!"

Arya ducked instinctively and Rudra who was running to catch up with Arya, jumped up and threw his Devil's Fang.

The rider kept on charging in as the scythe spun it's way towards the target--the riders head.

*shing* *splat*

The scythe cut through his neck, and the helmet-covered head rolled on to the road.

Blood spurted out of the open arteries of the headless torso before it fell on the ground.

Rudra wasted no time. He grabbed Arya and put on the vehicle. Rudra grabbed the stun-spear and put a Bead bomb and planted it near the electrically charged head of the spear.

"Arya, when I say, grab the handlebar and accelerate." Rudra shouted.

"No...noo...he's dead...The man's dead...no.." Arya was shaken pretty badly after witnessing the man's head flying.

"ARYA! SNAP OUT OF IT." Rudra grabbed him by the shoulders and shook him. But the shock was deep.

*SLAP*

Rudra had slapped Arya. Arya was shocked. Given his good natured self, he had hardly been disciplined with a stick by his father and now he had been slpped by the one person he had least expected to.

"Uncle...why?"

"Arya you need to realise that now is not the time to lose yourself. One mistake is all it takes to die." Rudra was breathing heavily.

"There there...shoooot!!!!" And with that lasers started flying at them again.

"Grab the handlebar." Rudra instructed Arya.

"But...but I...I have..." Arya stuttered.

"DOESN'T MATTER. JUST DO IT."

Uncle had become really scary, Arya thought. He grabbed the bars and revved the motor noisily.

The reds were closing in as they kept on firing their guns.

Rudra raised his right hand holding the spear in it, "Agh...dammit."

It was still hurting where he had been hit. He endured the pain and threw the spear at them. The wound that he had healed with his powers opened up again and began oozing blood.

The moment the spear left his hand, he got on the mobile and sped off with Arya's reckless driving.

"Aaahhhh!!! Uncleuncleuncle take control take control or we'll craaaash!"

Rudra was sitting behind and caught Arya'a hand stabilizing them on the handlebars.

The spear sped through and struck one in his thigh, "AAAGGHHH!!!

The moment electricity crackled and began flowing throughout his armour to shock him, there was a huge explosion and blood and dismembered body parts flew in all directions.

Arya attempted to look back but his uncle stopped him, "Look front, if you don't want to die."
