Breakout/Lockup
(Ravenger)
…
It’s time.
I tugged the chains on my arms to check its strength.
With the amount of strength I have now, I should be able to snap it.
If not, the walls will definitely be broken.
“…Let’s begin.” (Ravenger)
Pulling the chains, I struggled to snap it.
Damn it, what is this made of?
It’s not moving an inch!
Adding more force, I pulled the chains.
Cracking sounds can be heard.
“…” (Ravenger)
With one last tug, I snapped the walls.
The door in front of me opens.
“Shit! Alert everyone! The monster escaped!” (Guard)
…I forgot. I’m in the middle of enemy territory.
No time for regrets, it’s time to fight.
Ramming through the door, I sent the guard flying.
…It’s dusk now, huh?
Wait, I’m already outside?
I looked back at my prison.
…Did they just build a prison around where I fell?
And I thought assassins were the diligent type.
I stretched my tensed body to loosen my muscles.
Natelia better hide, cause she’s in for a beating.

(Alexia)
Raising my guard, I followed the man through the town.
Something’s wrong. I can feel it.
Until I can confirm it, I have to stay with this guy.
“…I believe the leader stationed in this town should be in the mayor’s office. Let’s move there.” (Man)
“…Alright.” (Alexia)
“This way.” (Man)
The man points towards the centre of the town.
“Let’s go.” (Alexia)
As we approached the mayor’s office, I asked a question that has been snagged on my mind.
“Hey.” (Alexia)
“Hm?” (Man)
“How do you even know your way in this town, if you had never stepped foot in here before?” (Alexia)
“…” (Man)
I stop walking.
“…Who are you, really?” (Alexia)
“…Get her.” (Man)
Suddenly, I was surrounded by the bandits.
“Who are you!?” (Alexia)
I unsheathe my knife.
“…I am the leader of the bandits. My name is Mask. I lure unsuspecting victims to their doom here.” (Mask)
“…” (Alexia)
Shit.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Ravenger)
Bursting through the forest, I knock down the assassins trying to stab me.
Ever since I broke out of prison, I’ve been trying to find the assassins’ base.
They hid it very well, so well that even I can’t find it.
Of course, while I was searching, I was continuously attacked by the Noxious assassins.
With a combination of Sacrifice and Emotion Control, wiping them out was fairly easy.
My speed increases and I can knock out the assassins in one blow.
Regardless, I’m nowhere near their base.
Eventually, I’m back at the prison cell.
“…This isn’t going very well.” (Ravenger)
“Looking for me, Ravenger?” (???)
…Natelia.
I turned to face her.
“I see you came back. You really are strong, aren’t you?” (Natelia)
“…Natelia. I have come to defeat you.” (Ravenger)
“I would like to see you try!” (Natelia)
Making the first move, I dash forward, attempting to ram her down.
Natelia dodged by rolling to her left.
The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.
I ended up crashing into the prison.
The structure begins to collapse above me. Roaring, I used Sacrifice on Natelia before receiving the weight of the collapsing structure.
“I told you, monster. You can’t beat me. Hahahaha…” (Natelia)
…She laughed.
…It really pisses me off.
Gathering my strength, I unleashed a trembling roar.
“DOMINION!!!”
Dominion has been activated

(Alexia)
After being betrayed by Mask and captured by the bandits, I was tied, gagged, and thrown into the guard tower with Celeste, Timo and Tifa.
Running towards me, Celeste quickly untied me and I removed my gag.
“Alexia, are you alright?” (Celeste)
I coughed loudly, clearing my mouth of the foul taste of the gag.
“Yeah, I’m alright. We were, no, I was too foolish to follow that man… I’m sorry.” (Alexia)
“It’s not your fault, sis… W-We are at fault too…” (Tifa)
“We were not alert too, Alexia. Don’t put all the blame on yourself.” (Celeste)
I’m glad they didn’t blame me for the situation, but I still hate myself for being stupid.
“What happened after I left?” (Alexia)
“When you left, we went to find a room to stay for the moment. When Timo wanted to leave, he tried opening the main door, but it was locked.” (Celeste)
“…” (Alexia)
“What’s going to happen, sis?” (Timo)
“…We’ll just have to wait, and hope, for help to come.” (Alexia)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Ravenger)
The black mist surrounds the clearing.
Natelia laughed.
“This trick again? It won’t work!” (Natelia)
“…Think again.” (Ravenger)
I dashed forward.
“What-!?” (Natelia)
Before Natelia could finish, I rammed into her at full force.
“…Thanks for sending me to the Citadel. Because of that, I’ve gotten stronger.” (Ravenger)
“I-Impossible!” (Natelia)
She disappeared from my vision.
Jumping backwards, Natelia drops down in front of me.
“…You’ve changed.” (Natelia)
“Emotional Control.” (Ravenger)
Emotional Control – Anger has been activated
“…This is payback.” (Ravenger)
I slashed at Natelia.
She managed to avoid it by jumping back, but the force created blew her away.
Emotional Change – Fear has been activated
With my speed boosted, I rammed into Natelia.
The force of my blow knocked her unconscious.
The black mist disperses.
I really am too strong now.
“...” (Ravenger)
I have sated my hunger for revenge.
But what should I do now?
After finding Natashia, I should probably find Alexia again.
I wonder how she’s doing.
Hey guys, IAmTheKroc
Sorry for the delay. I was doing a competition during these three days.
But don't fret! I will be releasing another Chapter of The Loner later tonight.
Stay tuned!
Thanks for waiting!
Peace!
