Wudang: Legends Of Qi Earth 86 Infernal Prison Dimension Xii : Safe

Alex moved forwards, with the Sylph's wings on fire, and it going through a serious amount of pain, this was the only chance he would get to properly deliver enough damage to it. A scythe made of wind appeared and sliced towards his neck, Alex leaned backwards as he dodged it and looked up in time to see a golden flash appear on the still blazing wings of the sylph. Her scream of pain this time was nerve grating as her curtain like wings seemed to have developed a tear on it and a figure jumped through, or rather two figures; it was Louis and Yun Fao.

There was no reason to speak too much, there was an enemy in front of them, and that's what they needed to deal with. A wild gust of wind started rolling around all three boys, but they ignored it as Louis raised his rapier into the air and a bright flash lit up the entire wing covered area. The four eyes of the sylph, something Alex was just noticing closed involuntarily, giving him and Yun Fao just enough time to get close to it's main body.

Alex had no intention of dragging this fight out, whatever this new sword like energy was, it was drawing too much from his Qi and spirit, not to mention it was taking a lot of mental focus to keep the energy activated and he could feel a headache, followed quickly by unconsciousness on the horizon. So pooling all of his energy into one ma.s.sive strike was the only option he had. Alex jumped scaling the corporeal form of the sylph and stabbed his sword into her chest. The blue-green flame on it seemed to blaze even higher as the wind fire fed on the sylph.

*Screeeeeeeeeeeeeee!*

There were thousands of individual screams, each and every single one of them extremely nerve grating to the extreme. Khan who through it all has been hiding within Alex's terribly burnt clothes, poked his head out and opened his jaws wide. There was a suction force from the young Kamaitachi as small amount of tiny individual Sylphs made their way into his gaping fang filled Maw. His appearance seemed to be the real thing to spook the sylph as the flames spread all over it's body in mere seconds.

It turned around, withdrawing it's ma.s.sive wings as the lights from hundreds upon thousands if not millions of gemstones s.h.i.+ned down upon them, then it turned around and fled, pieces of it's body falling off as the wind fire clung tightly to it, slowly destroying the thousands of Sylphs amalgamated together to make the larger one. It wasn't a very desperate fight and Alex was thankful for that, he let go of the sword force, Qi and spirit energy returning west wind to it's normal form. Alex immediately fell forward.

Ignoring the startled cry from the weird creature around his neck, Louis quickly grabbed a hold of Alex and kept him steady. Yun Fao joined in as they held him and slowly brought him to a sitting position, but then Khan hissed loudly and attempted to scratch Louis and Yun Fao, it was then that the both of them fully acknowledged his presence.

"Whoa! Whoa! What the heck is that?" Louis screamed as he took at least ten steps backwards, the kid was so easily spooked it was hard to imagine he had fought giant lizards, huge snakes, Nagas and a weird legion of Dark Sylphs.

"Indeed young Master Alex, what is that, it is quite Ugly!" Yun Fao asked with way less enthusiasm than Louis.

*Hissssssss*

"This is Khan, his my Embryonic spirit, my summon or partner if you will. And he doesn't like being called ugly Yun Fao, and you guys shouldn't worry, the little guy is harmless, at least he's not friends who would run off and leave someone behind to be dinner for a crazy group of wind fairies!"

The part about Khan being harmless is not exactly true, he was just still a bit young and would be growing into his abilities soon enough. However the matter on ground was not Khan, but rather the fact that both Yun Fao and Louis ran off without him. Some part of him understood why they had to do so, but waking up without your friends and comrades in a very dark place was beyond terrifying, Alex was scared for himself and at the same time for his friends, and then it turns out they ran off without him.

"Young Master Alex please forgive me, I have neglected my duty as your guard, running off without you was wrong and without a doubt an act that's without forgiveness. I will accept any sort of punishment you decided to dish out."

Yun Fao's voice was stern and resolute, he had every intention of taking the punishment. However Louis just shook his head and muttered the word 'Idiot' before walking towards Alex and hugging him, ignoring the still hissing Kamaitachi.

"I'm so sorry we ran off without you Mon Capitan, we weren't left with much of a choice since you were unconscious and the sylph was unlike anything we've ever faced before. We hung around as close as we could and tried making up plans to rescue you, after we left the sylph used her wings to cover the cavern we fell through, after jumping into that ma.s.sive hole.

Making any rash moves would have put you in danger so we waited for an opening to exploit. And when we noticed the flames we didn't hesitate, we knew you were already awake so we acted and rushed in. Turns out you really didn't need us, we're really sorry Young Master."

There was a lot of things to be said about Louis; he was a loud mouth, easily spooked, has no sense of personal boundaries, was an obvious hugger and sometimes spoke with a French ascent. But unlike Yun Fao he was more in touch with his emotions and knew how to read the mood or the feelings of someone. Of the three of them, he was more empathic, and as such much more suited to giving pep talks and comforting a friend.

Alex couldn't really stay angry at them for long, he knew exactly what they had gone through, and some things were already out of their hands, so there was no need to hold a grudge over nothing.

Alex sat back down and Khan disappeared in flash of light, spooking Louis even more as the boy jumped back again and yelled out. He was so easily shaken it was hard to imagine that this kid could do the things he could, it was very funny, but at the very least, within their minds, they were content, and they were okay.

THE WUDANG SECT

2 DAYS AGO

Zhang Sanfeng and his children barged into the sects master's residence with an incredible amount of bravado. The sect master was in a private room with a few other members of the sect's council of elders, but seeing Zhang Sanfeng barge into his very secret study, he felt his heart get stuck in his throat. While he has been really careful with the way he dealt with the man, the same could not be said for his followers who sometimes loved to cause trouble and poke at a sleeping dragon. He knew he had only been able to beat him using tricks before, and quite frankly since that time Zhang Sanfeng has gotten stronger, and a million times more dangerous.

"How dare you Zhang Sanfeng! this is a closed meeting! You're disrespecting the sect master!" one of the elders following the sect master spoke up in anger as he obviously wanted to curry favor.

The sect master's eye twitched, he couldn't help but curse softly In his mind at this idiot that's trying to push him to an early grave. Zhang Sanfeng had that look in his eyes where he was about to do something crazy, and it wasn't just him, his son and daughter also had the same looks. There was no way anybody could fight them, this family were the guardians and pract.i.tioners of the Yi Jin Jing! They're masters of too many martial and cultivation arts and had a body akin to the most precious and hardest of metals and the most flexible of bamboos. Bringing them down would cost a lot, chief amongst them probably being his life.

"Former sect head what can I do for you, as you can see this is a closed meeting." The sect master said to Sanfeng, being as polite as he could whilst a bead of sweat rolled down the back of his neck.

The elder who had used his mouth to almost start a civil war shut it almost immediately as he looked for a corner to hide. The tone of voice the sect master used, more than told him that the Zhangs were here for business, and death would come swiftly for anyone who decided to mess with them . But Sanfeng didn't have much to say, he looked at the Sect head and said.

"Where is my grandson!"

The sect head felt even more chills at that question. He had ordered that the news of the loss of the Planetarium be kept a secret amongst the elders that were present there, or those who followed him. And the reason for that was so that he wouldn't have to deal with an angry Grandfather, and his very volatile children. If there was ever a worse case scenario, this was it.
