The Commander

“No, No, No!” Arnar screamed out while backing away from the girl. The girl’s grin slowly died down as she witnessed how much of a coward he was, but she still insisted on fighting.

“C'mon don't tell me you are scared?” The girl mocked, “Who are you?! Why are you doing this to us?!” Arnar demanded, while pointing a sword at her. “Huh? Now you want to negotiate, oh my god, look at how much the committee has fallen.” The girl mocked again, finally Arnar sent a slash of wind at her, in which she dodged by walking to the side.

“Oh look, you can fight, now come at me, A rank.” She said proudly, Arnar tried his absolute best to hit her, sending a barrage of slashes, while blocking a couple held back punches from her. “Damn it! She's weaving out of all my attacks, I need to run, I really need to retreat!” Arnar thought, then Arnar bashed his shield onto the girl, then landed a devastating gash onto her chest, blood spewing everywhere.

“Yes! I killed her, I need to report back, but those G.A.A. agents are still looking for us, or well me now.” Arnar said, slightly celebrating while running into another direction.

Arnar found himself walking even further down the alleyway, “I remember this place as a child, my friends and I played here, often doing cards, I hope they are doing alright..maybe I should quit being a void hunter, maybe get a job as a doctor, help out my family.” Arnar talked to himself while looking around, then he saw the same red haired girl leaning against a wall looking at him grinning.

“What?!” Arnar yelled out, “I thought I killed you!” Arnar demanded as he was slowly backing away. “Eh, yeah it hurts but I felt worse 3000 years ago.” the girl said happily, “now then, shall we continue?” The girl asked.

Instead, Arnar took off running, but he saw the girl again, “Don't tell me you are a coward? After 3000 years of healing from a fatal injury, and the first person I fight is a coward?” The girl mocked, but Arnar and gained enough courage to swing his sword, but then he saw a flash of red flame, and saw himself with his lower torso scorched off, and him leaning against a wall in immense pain.

“What….are…you?” Arnar asked, accepting the fact that he's going to die. “Fine, since you did okay against me, I'll tell you one thing.” The girl said, “My calibre allows me to be immortal, phoenix ablaze or whatever, those purple-ish blue flames cure me from any injury, while the red flames can incinerate anything.” She said, only revealing her calibre to him because he was going to die anyway.

“That sounds like a hassle.” A guy said behind her, she leapt back from sheer surprise, and the guy who scared her was Isaac, who saw a couple dead bodies nearby and became curious, only to discover a deceased void hunter (Arnar) next to her.

“Who the hell are you?” She demanded, while clenching her fist, preparing to strike at any moment, but Isaac retaliated, “Why the hell would I give a random girl my name, especially one who killed like 6 people before I came!” He demanded back.

“Fine, if I tell you my name, you tell me yours.” The girl sighed, Isaac seemed to quite aggravated, but calmed down slightly from the argument deescalating.

“I am the 10th commander of Takeru Oshima, Sage Hasegawa.” She introduced herself, in which Isaac became very confused upon, “Takeru? That name sounds familiar.” He said, as he was trying to remember where he heard that name from, Isaac’s memory was considered the worst in the group, with Johnathan having a slightly better memory than him.

“Well, my na-” He tried to introduce before he saw Sage’s fist slowly go toward his face, but as he was a inch away, he saw a glimpse of an insignia on her chest. Then the punch landed on his face, tumbling him back a couple feet.

Isaac’s face lit up, as if he remembered, “I remember that insignia, you are a part of that empire! That I read in my history class as a senior in high school!” He yelled as he spat out some blood.

The empire he was talking about or the empire he learned about in high school, was called The Conquerors Of Takeru, which was during the Godslayer’s era (Otherwise the 6th disaster), this empire was lead by Takeru Oshima, the absolute ruler of the empire, with the empire conquering 7 of the 9 capitals during that era, before he ultimately fell alongside his empire from unknown causes. He also appointed 10 commanders, Sage being the last commander before the empire fell.

“Oh, you just now recognised it?” She said as she charged toward Isaac, but Isaac narrowly dodged and grabbed a manhole cover and smashed it against her, blasting her far back. “I have severely underestimated that guy’s strength, but if I die now, I could regenerate back and beat him a lot easier.” She thought as she wiped blood off her nose and chin, and slowly got up. But as she got up, she saw Isaacs fist collide into her face, “How does that feel you bastard!” Isaac yelled as she was tumbling backwards.

“C’mon, kill me, won’t ya? Are you not gonna avenge those people?” she taunted, lying on the ground, seemingly defeated. Isaac looked down at her and simply said, “Nope, I have other business to deal with. But I guess I could turn you in.”

She reacted with a disgusted, annoyed expression, then pointed at a nearby pipeline and shot a small spark of flame. The pipeline burst, causing Isaac to swiftly turn around. Realizing his mistake, he turned back, only to see that she was gone.
