Somewhere within the border tribes territory,

Present Time.

"I can't believe you two actually outed me." Raka stated with a stern look upon his face as he held on too the prison bars wallowing in frustration.

After the incident within the inn, Raka along with Cass and Tiffy had been placed into a holding cell under the village warrior hall. Unfortunately for the group of bandits, they suffered the full wrath of the village Sentry and guards.

Making a brutal example for all those who had thought they could break the rules of the village.

In a cell underground

"Damn...these men are savages." Raka express,

"They are the Sky Beast Clan, a formidable race kin too the Beastman Tribe." Cass informed,

".......how do you even know?" Raka asked, could his frustration clearly as he turned around towards him, eyes still full with rage as each time Raka looked at either Cass or Tiffy he instantly had murderous urges.

"Could you not look at us like that, we've apologize several times now and you still have that malice intent in your eyes, even tried killing us three times now... Cass can't even close his eyes now cause of you." Tiffy stated hopping that Raka would calm down,

"He should be glad they chained me up after the third attempt...* smirks* or I'll still be trying to beat your lil asses!" Raka shout foaming at the mouth, biting at the children.

"Too think he'll still be this mad, it's been a couple hours now. He should've calm down, right?" Cass asked Tiffy,

"......why is he foaming?" Tiffy thought to herself while taking her time too answer, she took a long stare at Raka. Noticing the several bruises on his face, not to mention his swollen eye.

"Yeah I don't see why he's still mad", she responded.

"I hate children..." Raka muttered,

"Look!, I figured that they are the Sky Beast Clan from the markings they wear. It's the same one that the fifth Skylord wore." Cass told Raka,

"Skylord?, I've heard of that title before. One of the heads of the Tribal Console. Right?" Raka asked.

"Sounds like you aren't too sure." Tiffy stated giving Raka a displeased looked,

"So what if I don't, isn't he dead anyway? And what does any of this has too do with our current situation?" Rake asked, aggravated with himself.

Leaping forward inna frenzy, grabbing hold of Raka's collar. Cass began to furiously shake him,

"It has everything thing too do with our situation!! These are descendants of Gidan the fifth Skylord, and if you knew anything about him. You would understand that he was famously known for his savagery!!!" Cass shouted into Raka's face.

Continuing to shake him back and forth, rambling on about the inhumane ways Gidan would treat his enemies.

Pondering off too the side was tiffy, she had been trying too figure out how such a well hidden village would allow loud mouth bandits to take refuge.

"EYYYYY!!!" Tiffy yelled gaining both Raka and Cass full attention.

"Isn't it odd that a supposedly hidden village would allow bandits or anyone not of the village too know its location?" She asked.

The question cause both Raka and Cass to stop and actually think on why were they a group of thugs like that within this village, also how did they even find it in the first place. They pounder for a moment, however Raka and Cass eye's locked once again and with neither of them wanting to appear weak too the other, Cass once again leaped upon Rake and began shaking his neck while Raka attempted to bite him.

Inside of the Warrior Hall sat the head Sentry along with five elite guards and the Village Elders. Each of the five having their own individual role among the clan, they began to discuss of the recent events which led Fall too be seriously injured.

Cause of it, All smaller clans and tribes, kin too the high tribes and clans were all now put on alert.

*Loud muttering*

"They've been quite loud for a while now brother." One of the village guards stated,

"Let them be, they're just children." The head Sentry stated.

"What about the man with them? What should we do with him?" Asked one of the five,

"He seems too be their guardian....or something like that, killing him would probably cause resentment. So for now he lives." Another one of the five answers,

"They aren't the issue though, it's how they came too find this place that is." One of the five pointed out,

"You think they bought the acting of the bandits? I mean our men only had a few moments to get themselves too character." Stated one of the Elites,

If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

"I can't say really...the girl looked as if she was taking mental notes on torture, the boy seemed bored and the man with them.... well he had no clue." The head Sentry reckon,

"Well it better have worked....we beat our guys too the ground so you won't feel guilty killing children. We still should've killed their guardian( raka), then we could have either try erasing their memory...our giving them a sudden concussion." One of the five suggested,

"Aren't those two options the same?" Another Elite asked,

"......make a note not to give Drax any solo projects." Order the head Sentry.

Clearing his throat loudly, the head Elder gave the talkative group all a stink stare.

"Enough about them. The Guilds will start acting now that Fall is hurt and most of the remaining tribes are dealing with border control against the Suits advancements." The head Elder informed,

"You're right. Along with that, the northern have already invaded from the north, forcing the border clans and tribes to act. Giving the guilds opportunity to seize unguarded territory." Another one of the five mentioned,

"Mmmmm...we still can't act yet. Though we are one of many enforcer Clans, we still haven't been given orders form the Console to remove anyone as yet." One of the Elders explained,

"Making any unnecessary decisions too act may give our location away, we're hidden for a reason. So unit he sends for us, the SkyBeast Clan won't act." Said the Head Sentry.

Bosssh!

Bursting inside the Hall came stumbling in one of the village guards. Covered in mud and blood, he brought a report of suspicious men lurking upon the outskirts of the territory.

He quickly tried explaining what took places outside but unfortunately his wounds were too severe, causing him too bleed out.

"Could it be mercenaries? this far inside the crib...they even got pass our watchmen?" Head Sentry thought to himself.

"Guyva!" Shouted the head Elder,

"I'M ON IT!" He instantly replied, already making his way outside of the Hall towards the village entrance.

Following behind were the five elites, two headed out with Guyva while the other three began to fortify the village.

Under the Warrior Hall, Cass and Raka had both tired each other out. Allowing Tiffy to remove the chains from Raka.

Quickly after the threeO made their way up towards a tunnel that connected the hall too the prison, coming to a halt they found themselves trapped behind an iron door.

Outside SkyBeast Clan territory,

Observing above balancing upon a massive tree stood Aszra.

"Not as planned.....but still couldn't hurt. Though I think knocking out all those clansmen might have been a bit much." He figured,

Making his way too the front Guyva along with two of the Elite guard had confronted a large group of mercenaries.

This sudden appearance of armed forces seem very coincidental, as if they had knew exactly where too go in order to find his Clan.

Making a sudden motion with his hand, Guyva along with the others came to a stop.

"We're heavily out number." Guyva stated after only taking a brief glance, also they manage too get this far in without alerting any of the beast nesting within this area and seemly may have tookedout our watchmen." Guyva pointed out,

"Managing to traverse through the death cradle isn't something mere merks could do without a guide." One of the elites said,

"Von is right Guyva. These aren't low level merks either, a few are Sentry level." The other elite pointed out,

Glancing from left to right taking note of each individual movements and position, with a deep inhale Guyva was also able to locate hidden members among the mercenaries with his heighten senses gageing the groups numbers.

"Why would such a large group sudden appear here?...could one of the near by Guilds sent them?...no. this area is well hidden and only the main tribe knows of its location. Nevertheless they somehow made it here, we need too push the fight into the forest away form any near by nest." Guyva thought to himself.

"Ray, Von." Guyva said drawing their attention, he the made a slight jester with his hand sticking out one finger.

The two then instantly smiled, in an instant they both darted forward in diagonal directions. While Guyva rushed directly forward.

Under the Warrior Hall, the three still pondering on how exactly they would escape knowing they will eventually run back into the village guards, while Raka racked his brain for ideas.

Tiffy decided she'll just burn through the Iron door as she did the cell bars.

Inside the Warrior Hall,

"Sssssssss.....you smell that? " The village guard asked,

Glaring with intense disgust, the other village guard began too slowly step aside.

"Come on now...that first one slipped out I swear." He informed him trying too contain his laughter,

Sniff..sniff.."someone melting iron?....the brats!" He yelled in a panic as he and the other guard rushed toward the entrance of the tunnel. Which had been in the right hand corner of the hall,

Booosshh!!!! roared bolts of lightning erupting from beneath, hurdling the Iron door up upon the hall exposing the hidden entrance. Both guards stood in shock, the iron door was made exretemely tick and heavy, needing two guards to open it.

The Iron door now laid flat with a gaping hole which had been formed from extreme heat.

"No...they couldn't have..." express one of the guards,

" Aren't they gifted?"

"Great....but I wouldn't have guess they had this kinda power." The other said,

Glancing at each other the two quickly morphed into their beast forms, and awaited the escapees coming from the tunnel.

Using the smoke and dust for cover, trying too create an opportunity against the guards by having Tiffy continously use her flames too created smoke.

However, both guards had kept their guards high. With their cleavers in hand, the two guards simultaneously swung upwards causing a large gust of wind to clear away all the dust and smoke which was obstructing view.

Pooffff!!! Wwhhooossssh!!!,

In that same instance, emerging from beneath the smoke was Raka. Carrying both Cass and Tiffy, Raka launched forward having Cass boost him with a his lightening and too increasing his power output he had Tiffy extend her flames towards his fist.

BASSSSSHHH!!!, arrrrgggghhhh......

"Well...i didnt expect this." One of the guards stated,

"Same here. He was quick enough to catch both of our attacks, the other said as they forced their cleaver downwards attempting too slice through Raka's hands.

Grrrrrrr....damnnnn...even though they're supporting me with their gifts, the strain of trying not too be burnt or electrified is draining me. Her flames are eating away at my flow even though she's restraining them. Raka thought to himself,

The two sides struggled for a moment, but Raka was soon then overwhelmed by the two guards. Both then began unleashing fearsome combination one after another forcing Raka into a corner.

"Give up boy. You're only lasting out this long is cause we're trying not too hit those kids you got attached too you." The guard explain,

"What ta coward, hiding behind children and even being aided by them." The other guard mocked, both glaring down at Raka provoking him too lash out.

WHAM!! With a mighty swing one of the guards launched Raka into the wall of the hall. Ramming back first into it,

"Agggrrhh..... are the two of you alright?" He asked being genuinely concerned for them. Though before impacting with the wall Raka had covered both of them with his own flow,

"We're fine....you didn't need too protect us yuh know." Cass mention though it was clear he was greatful,

Tiffy on the other hand was beaming with rage with her hair fully aflame roaring at the two guards,

"Arrrggghh....it's fine. I'll take these two on myself." Raka stated placing his hand how her ignited head calming her wrath,

*Pinches Raka's face*, "don't be an idiot. You can clearly see they're just trying too provoke you." She expressed trying to grabbing hold of his hand as he made his way forward,

With a emotionless stare, Cass told him he'll be beaten too the ground without their help, however you could see it clearly on his face that he was worried. Placing them behind him Raka began approaching the two guards.

"Mmmmmm... this white hair idiot actually believes he can solo us?, those kids were the ones keeping him alive till now." The guard thought,

"Aaaaaahhhhhhh!! You're a fool!, you basically are asking too be killed now." The other guard excitedly express.

Both guards were now smiling from ear too ear knowing that Raka did had advantage with the kids support.

Taking a single deep breath Raka began cleared his mind. However the two guards weren't bout waiting for him too be ready and instantly rushed upon him, CLANG!!! clashing against Raka's Glaive.

"The hell??" One of the two stated, complete suprised.

"Ni-ni, he's capable of weaponizing flow. A Sentry level skill." The other guard pointed out as they tried to press down upon Raka.

"He seems much more physically stronger than earlier. How?", Ni-ni thought.

With a quick shove, Raka created enough space to launch his assault.

Which was immedanitly countered with a savage barrage, matching blow for blow against Raka's fearsome assault.

"AAAAAHHHHH!!" Raka roared out in agony as vanes began pulsating over his body. His went full blank as he trembling ferociously,

"Is....is he foaming from the mouth?, is he contagious Vix?" Asked Ni-ni,

"No.....but the foaming is weird....just doan let him bite you. Ni-ni. Doesn't he share similar qualities too them?" Vice asked,

Standing behind Raka, Cass began to notice that Raka had grown in size and now had visible red markings running arcoss his body.

"Has Raka always been this large???, what's with the foaming though?" Cass thought to himself,

BOOSSSHH!! BASSHHHH!!, with a monstrous display of power, Raka unload a fierce volley of heavy blows, each packing tremendous force and speed. So much so that both guards were swiftly overwhelmed by his assault.

Increasing his barrage's output, Raka manage to create an opening to land a critical blow. Swiftly changing stances, gripping the Glaive with one arm Raka's size Increase once again.

"TWIN BUSRT!!" Raka roared launching two simultaneously attacks at both guards.

WHAMMM!!! BASSSSHHH!!!

"AGRRRHHH!!!!.... prick!" Groaned Ni-ni

"GRRRRRRR!!!.... Tribal arts? How?" Vix question.
