Serious: My justice isn't like yours (closed)

"Well, that worked out well..."
Johan looked at the soldiers. Some were still concious, but wouldn't be a big challenge. For the others, their heavy weapons had been their downfall. Even the helmets which covered the upper halfes of their faces, and which von Rosberg in his wisdom made all of his soldiers wear, could protect them from their own guns coming down on them.
He laid a hand on Lunas shoulder.
"Luna, I'm happy to have you with me."
In the past, fighting all of them would have been very troublesome for him.
"Aw, come on! Are those guards good for anything? Seriously!"
Johan didn't know the voice, and he turned around to see who it belonged to. He did see a young, rather goodlooking man with black hair and some bruises on his face. On his side, there were a gigantic man packed with muscles, a small, sturdy woman and a man who strangely reminded him of someone.
Besides the woman, he didn't know any of them, but thought them to be part of the mercenaries as they lacked any kind of uniform.
Huey, who he had forgotten all about, did seem to know them. He had just been about to touch Lunas wings, an awestruck and fascinated look on his face, when he spun around with a huge smile on his face.
"Uncle Zack!"
Before Johan could keep him from it, the little boy had run past him already.
"Ouch, watch it!"
His "uncle" hissed as Huey jumped and embraced him. So he was hurt elsewhere, as well.
"I found an angel! Like mum! Look, look she has wings, just like you said!"
Zacharias gave Luna a quick look before gently patting Hueys head. weirdly, the boy didn't seem to mind him doing so.
"Huey, Huey. Poor boy, you were fooled. Look at her wings."
He pointed at her wings, and Huey followed his words.
"They're black. She's not a real angel. She can't cure you."
The big man behind him squirmed a little, as if he wanted to say something. He seemed to be nervous.
Huey got deep disappointment, but also understanding on his face.
"Aaah, now I get it... But why didn't she tell me? She said she was an angel!"
Zacharias sighed deeply, genuine sadness on his face.
"She lied, Huey. In fact, she's more human than anything. Isn't that right?"
Now he looked at Luna again, and his eyes were cold. Johan didn't like that look. He went in a more defensive stance reflexively, but didn't say anything yet.
As Hueys uncle continued, his voice slowly cooled down to a level that matched his eyes.
"What was your name again? Oh, yes. Luna, right?"

Luna turned and blinked before listening and smiling at the man calmly and laughing softly. "you, infact are wrong" she said "my wings are black because i've fallen, god sent be back to because i never finished something i wanted to do when i lived" she said smiling. "i've come back to kill a man and to find my family. and yes, my name is luna" she said with a giggle...yeah, she gets kinda loopy after using a powerful attack like that. She yawned and looked at johan "im sleepy" she said before falling to the side and passing out.

Kain quickly caught her out of instincts and held her head up so she wouldn't feel comfortable.
'The attack took much out of her. They have to get out of here, and fast.....'
He looked around to see if there was any sign of escape. Sadly none, both were at each end of the hall, either waiting for them to make the next move, or planning out their own moves themselves.
"What now Frideswide...?" Kain asked the captain of this crew silently, looking at him with emotionless, unreadable eyes.

Uddo shuddered. He found himself standing near the center of the group, terrified out of his wits. Normally he could be brave in a situation like this, but now that there seemed to be no hope for them, he was losing it. Uddo's knuckles turned white as he gripped his knife hard. Luna had passed out. Kain was asking Johan what to do. And Uddo had known Johan long enough to tell that he was almost certainly lost as well.

"Well....."
Johan looked at the group in front of them. A tiny asian girl, a huge man, Hueys hurt "uncle", Zack, as they had called him, and a strange man who seemed to be bored out of his mind. He wasn't sure whether or not to count Huey himself as an enemy, but he didn't think he'd attack Luna, at least. In his eyes, there was still disappointment, but also a tiny bit of hope that Luna was telling the truth.
Fight or run?
The four or five of them against him, Uddo and Kain, not to mention they'd have to watch out they didn't use Luna as a hostage. Didn't look so bright.
Maybe if he could take two of them at once... But who?
Then again, running would most likely not work, either. They knew this place better than he did, and would follow them easily.
To cut it short, they were in a tight spot.

Unknowing to Johan, they were being watched. By more than one person, to be exact. There was the den den mushi, which had recorded their fight so far. On the receiving end, there was von Rosberg. His soldiers losing made him aggressive, and he had sworn to himself that he'd punish them severly later. Now his hopes lay on the reinforcements, and on the mercenary group. It was... unlucky that the boy had escaped. This way he'd have to pay them. But at least they seemed willing to finish the job. And god be with them, should they fail.
Well, and then there was that smaller nuisance. The phantom, as his me called him. He prefered the name Ezekiel Bonheur. It had taken him long enough to find it out. Still, who would have thought that brat had been behind his back all the time, just waiting for a chance to kill him? And this way, he had spoiled him catching the revolutionary, as well. But that was okay, as Mr. Frideswide would be in his care soon enough.
And after all, part of this little farce had been to get Mr. Bonheur to show himself. So he had no reason to be upset at all. Zacharias Young had proven to be a promising man, even though he had let Bonheur get away. With broken government property, nonetheless. A Jackson could be very dangerous in the hands of anyone else but the government it belonged to. And this one had been unstable from the start. But its circuits were already being shut down, so it didn't have long anyway. With a sigh, Adolfo von Rosberg leaned back and watched the scene unfold.

From his pocket dimension, Ezekiel Bonheur, or the phantom, as he was called, watched them as well. That Zacharias was a twisted man, indeed. His eyes went on to the huge man in the background. Abraham Young, Zacharias adopted brother, and the boys father. Huey had told him about his family. How it was Zacharias raising him, and how he had been taught everything he knew from him. How he blamed his father for his mothers death. Form Ezekiels point of view, it was just one of Zacharias games, and those two were both victims. About the woman or the other man, he didn't know much.
On the other side, there was a famous, but clumsy revolutionary, a young boy who seemed to be scared out of his mind, and... that guy. He would have liked to ask Jackson about him, but his newest comrade still couldn't talk. He had been lucky the poison was slowed down. He had wrapped part of his shirt around his upper arm tightly to stop it from spreading too fast. The tiny rest of an antidote he had wasn't enough to neutralize it entirely, so he had to wait for it to lose effect by itself. Meanwhile, he still had to do some first aid on Jackson. Poor guy. Another victim of the government. Unfortunately, there wasn't much he could do for him right now. But he knew someone who just could... If only he could stay alive until they could contact his old friend. He sighed. He was getting wrapped up in things way over his head again.

"Are you going to decide today?"
Zacharias glared at Johan. He was getting bored.
"On the other hand, it is a hard decision. Fight here and lose, or run and get caught again. Hmmmm..... I think I'll make it easier for you. Newbie, you take the swordman. The other two... do whatever you want."
Lin Jing said something, and Zacharias sighed.
"Fine, fine. Useless idiot of a brother, you team up with me. Huey, stay back for a while until I call you in. You know what you have to do. Let's go, then!"

Lin Jing rushed forward at impressive speed. Hers seemed to be the easiest opponent to beat, but that didn't mean she'd hold back. But first, she'd really need a view on the boys strenght. She aimed a simple punch for his stomach.

Johan, in the end, found himself against two opponents. They didn't seem to cooperate too well, but they still knew each others fighting style, and would most likely be able to tell what they were going to do.
He jumped over a kick aimed at his legs by Zacharias, and blocked a punch by Abraham with his cutlass. He felt the cold blade get pushed dangerously close to his throat by the force of the punch, and was thrown back. He landed on his feet, but oonly barely, and already had to defend himself against the next attacks. He was keeping up with it, but only barely.

Kain, having impressive speed as for himself, dodge the attack with ease. Right now, he's trying to make sure the kids are safe, since he have Labelisa in his arms and Uddo being practicly frozen to death by fear.
He made sure that Uddo was still behind him before taking his attention towards his opponent. The girl was fast, and he knows it. He wouldn't mind fighting with her by that much if he didn't have some extra things that needed his attention.
He has to get out of here, and fast...... he would use that, but only for desperate circumstances....but now, the circumstances are pretty desperate.
"Take...care of..her.." he told Uddo as Kain handed him Labelisa. "Don't worry, I'll protect you two..." He said it like it was a promise as he got out a ball, the ball that he had back before they were in this mess, the same ball back before the continued down the hall, planning to go to the cell tract before Johan got them even more lost. But it wasn't just any ball, it was his homemade tear gas bomb.
No...he wasn't going to use it yet...
On one hand, he got out one of his katanas, ready for a battle of some kind.

Trying to protect her opponent, was he? Lin Jing hadn't been too keen on battling a little boy, but this... He interrupted her in following her orders. She shot a quick look at Zacharias, who nodded when he saw it. Fine then.
Now that he had a sword, she'd need something she could block him with if he'd ever get too close. In a quick movement, she drew her dagger from her back, where it had been welll hidden in her belt.
Once she felt the cool handle in her hand, she yet again jumped forward and slashed at the swordsmans throat, while aiming to punch him in the guts with the other hand. Her punches, due to the speed with which they were exacted, were very painful and effective, but it was questionable if a dagger in your throat was more convenient.

The short time it took Zacharias to nod to his comrade was more than enough for Johan to jump and ram him knee into Abrahams face. The huge man was so surprised that he didn't react until it was too late. He stumbled back and held his hand on his face, but it was clear he hadn't taken too much damage. Now would have been the perfect time to finish him off, but Johan found himself attacked by Zacharias again the second his knee had slammed into his brothers face. He felt him grab his ankle, and the next thing he knew, he was lying on the floor. His head was spinning. H emust have hit the ground with it first. but he didn't have time for this either, as Zacharias was over him. Johan rolled aside and dodged a punch that would have otherwise broken his nose, then kicked his opponent away with both feet and jumped up.
He had gotten a hit in on both of them, but that wouldn't make them stop, he was sure.

Kain, with a somehow calm and emotionless expression, was careful to saw the movement of his opponant and dodge the knife, a few hair strands cut from the girl being close to it.
Throwing the ball up to the air, he caught it up on his mouth. He rather not use the ball yet until it's time. With that, he repeated uses his palm of his now empty hand, to caught many of the punches, some of the girls, sometimes dodging them also. He torso moved in a graceful way, like some kind of dancing in a way; fluid and almost percises. There are times when she got close calls and suchs but nothing to horrible to worry about.
During that, he made his katana into position and made a slash upwards, using the back of his sword.

Uddo was nearly flattened by Luna when Kain handed her off to him. It wasn't so much that Luna was heavy as Uddo simply did not have the strength to lift her. He did manage to hold her up long enough to set her down gently. Uddo watched Johan and Kain fighting and he felt sick. Once again he could only look on as other protected him. Uddo looked down at Luna's unconscious form and then back up at Kain's opponent. Uddo's face hardened. Enough was enough. He may not be as strong as the others, but Uddo had his own way of fighting. He watched the battle carefully, memorizing each technique used.

Lin Jing leaned back far. Still, the sword slightly touched her torso, though not doing any real damage. Her hands touched the ground behind her, and she flung her legs upwards in a kick aimed at... whatever it would hit, she coud really not care less. The main point of this was to get away from him a little until she could reorganise herself and see what to do next. After all, knowing was half the game.

Zacharias held his chest, where the kick hit him, more out of surprise. He had been pushed back a little, but not sent flying by it.
For being an Anubis commander, that guy wasn't that strong... In fact, it would be boring this way.
"Hey, bro."
Abraham straightened automatically as he heard his adoptive brothers voice. The nervousness in his aura had just went up again after making way for concentration during the fight.
"You go get the boy. Shouldn't be too hard, even for you, right?"
Abraham looked sincerely hurt, but didn't talk back. He simply nodded and turned to Uddo, who was watching the fights in a very concentrated manner. Carefully, he took a step towards him.
"Waaaait a moment! Who said I was done?"
Abraham froze where he was.
"Huey! Guess what?"
Huey, who had gotten bored, was now lighting up with interest again after hearing his name. Abraham, on the other hand, had slight panic on his face.
It didn't stop Zacharias from continuing.
"See how the angel girl you like so much is unconcious? If you get her and can carry her all the way to our ship, she's all yours to keep!"
The smile on Hueys face widened into a happy grin. The sprakle in his eyes was so innocent that it was hard to believe they were talking about kidnapping.
"Can I? Can I can I can I? Really? Yaaaay, you're awesome, uncle Zack!"
It seemed to cost the huge mans gathered courage to actually say something, but he did.
"I, uh... Do you really think it's safe for him to run off alone? With... you know... him around?"
"Tse, tse. That's why he won't be alone, dumbass. Newbie'll go with him! Right newbie? Think: Rematch, and I bet you'll find the motivation within you!"
Abraham gave Shad a worried look. Then he turned back to uddo, and therefore his new aim.
"Uh, sorry about this, but..."
One of his big hands stroke out and came down on the young man. At the same time, Huey dashed forward, though he obviously wasn't up to attack anyone.

Uddo caught sight of the oncoming arm and he leaped back to avoid it. He then began slashing at the hand wildly with his knife.

Luna yawned and rubbed her eyes as she streached "hmmm what happened?" she asked as she looked around and saw everyone fighting "what in the world" she said as she stood up "u-uddo, what happened???"

Abraham drew his hand back.
"Zack! Zack, he has a knife!"
Zacharias, who was once again busy fighting Johan, seemed to be highly irritated by his brothers statement.
"So what? This one had a cutlass! He.."
He pointed at kain.
"Has freaking swords! All you have to do is fight a little boy with a knife, for gods sake! Man up!"
By the look on Abrahams face, it was clear that he didn't want to fight, neither did he want to man up, and he was undecisive if he should be scared of the knife or his brotehr more. After a second, he seemed to have decided his brother was way more terrifying, as he slammed his fist down on Uddo once again.

Meanwhile, Huey sped past his fathers legs and towards Luna. He realised that getting her out of here would be a lot harder than getting this far, but now that she was awake, she could help!
"C'mon, c'mon angel!"
He grabbed her hand and tried to drag her to her feet.
"We have to get you out of here!"
The look on his face clearly stated that even if Luna had known what was going on during her unconciousness, she would have to be happy to be kidnapped by a crew lead by a psychopath!

"No, Luna! Don't you go with him!"
As long as she was here, they could protect her at least a bit. But he saw no way they'd be finding the ship and get her out while having to fight off those guys. And there were bound to be more at the ship.
Johan had to admit, for using only his fist, this man was a good fighter. No, an outstanding fighter. The only thing keeping him from being one of the best out there might be that he didn't really get sesrious until playing with his opponent for a long time. Johan had noticed.
But making him go serious should also be the key to defeat him. Johan caught Zacks fist in mid air and didn't let go. He'd have to use a different approach. One that might not be the smartest thing to do.
"So, I'm guessing you don't get paid for this?"
Zacharias raised an eyebrow. This had taken him by surprise.
"Huh? Trying to make small talk now, are we?"
He aimed a kick at Johans guts which made him let go of his fist. As he was busy blocking more punches and kicks, Johan continued.
"Well, knowing von Rosberg, he probably wouldn't pay you. And I've known him for quite a long time. Let me guess..."
He fell silent for a short while, his brain was working.
"...the boy, yes? But he's free now, isn't he?"
Zacharias certainly didn't know what to make of this. Or at least Johan thought he didn't, by the way his punches became less aimed and slower.
"What are you getting at?"
Only a little more!
"If te boy is the reason you're here, why still fight? Shouldn't the cat and mouse game with von Rosberg that will surely start if you betray him be exactly your sort of thing?"
At least he hoped it was... By the way this man had been playing with him until now made it seem like he'd be the type to rather enjoy some good games with his life on the stakes.
Zacharias thought this over, and in that moment, he stopped his attack. That was the moment Johan had needed. With a kick, he swiped him off his feet. Perfect! He held him down and pointed his cutlass at... Wait, where was his cutlass? Hadn't it been there just a moment ago... Oh no.
Zacharias smile as he held Johans own weapon at his throat.
"Nice try. Still, you can't beat me when it comes to such things."

"Urgh!" Uddo skidded back from the blow, which he had blocked with an arm. He heard Johan's shout and turned to look at Luna. "Let go of her!" he yelled at Huey. He started to go towards her, then he remembered Abraham. As Uddo turned to face Abraham his face darkened. "I guess I can't just leave you here," Uddo growled. He jumped at Abraham slashing with his knife at the man.

Kain flipped back himself as he dodge the kick, which almost hit his jaw, resulting him chomping down at the ball in his mouth, which would equal a very bad idea. He was glad the hall was atleast a bit bigger.

Seeing the younger members, he started to jump a little closer them. He wasn't worried to much Luna, for he knows she knows where she is suppose to be and who she's fighter for. It's clear that herself is smart as well, because of the last attack she did helped them by a lot.
And Uddo is a big boy. If he is going to be in the crew Johan made, he has to learn how much tougher life can always be. He isn't going to interfere with the fight unless the boy is in any real danger.
But still, he wasn't planning on getting them hurt, at all.
So, his attention partly on the youngers, he turn towards the woman he's fighting. He wants this quick, that's for sure. So, he started to get out two of his katanas, making him even more deadlier since he has more practices and more skills on two.

Luna blinked as heuy tried to pull her eyes "wait heuy no, stop, you dont understand" she said "i cant just leave my friends" she said and lisened "huey im sorry but i cant leave them, there my family" she said and held his shoulder making sure he lisened to her "heuy, when i was little, littler then you, a bad man kidnapped me and took me away from my family, he kept me in a cage and sang songs about how he was gonna grow me into his wife" she said "i died the say he took me away heuy, god let me some back so i can find my family" she said softly as a tear sliped out of her eye from a memorie "thats why my wings are black, because i died but was never put to rest. i have to stay with johan, he's going to help me find my family, he's already like family to me" she said softly "you welcome to come with me heuy, if you want, but i cant go with you, im sorry" she said softly.

Huey stopped puling her hand, but still didn't let go of it. His smile turned into a look of disappointment, hurt and a little anger.
"B-but..."
So he was his fathers son, after all... he stuttered as well, even though it was only in such situations.
He was about to protest, but then he saw the tear.
"Angel, please. P-please don't. I can't stand it when p-people I like... Please don't cry, I... I'm sorry... I... Uh..."
He sniffed. He really didn't want people he liked crying at all. In fact, it always made him cry. That made him angry. Uncle Zack didn't like it when he cried! He had to be a big boy, and get used to how cruel the world could be!
Still, as much as he tried to wipe the tears away, there were always new tears coming.

"Hmmm...."
Zacharias took his eyes away from Johan to look at the situation. Huey was being a crybaby, but he could fix that. Abraham was still fighting the boy, which he, no doubt, would survive this or that way. Lin Jing was outweaponed, but should be able to make it.... And he himself had the leader right where he wanted him. Well, not to say he wanted him sitting on top of him. It was more that he really liked him with his own blade threatening to cut his throat.
Still, this was about to get boring...
He turned his head back to Johan, who still hadn't moved or taken his eyes from him.
Then he sighed.
"Fine, let's make this a little more fair. Lin Jing!"
Lin Jing looked just in time to catch the cutlass thrown at her. She bowed quickly and turned back to her opponent.
Johan was obviously surprised. He thought he had already been defeated.
Now he was the one on top in a fist fight. Why?
"Flea!"
Wha-
Johan felt himself and his opponent being catapulted upwards, and crash into the ceiling. His bones cracked alarmingly and they, or him, crashed back to the ground. He could barely catch himself and landed on his knees, while Zacharias landed back on his feet, lithe as always.

Lin Jing, meanwhile, took a defensive stance and looked at her opponent. He had two swords, and was most likely good with them. She had a knife and a cutlass, and, though she had more experience fighting with her bare hands, was capable of using these weapons as well. But she didn't have much time. She couldn't even understand how Zacharias could waste his time playing around like that when it was clearly running out.

"Eeep!"
Abraham held his arm up instinctively, and the knife slashed into it. Blod gushed out, but it'd bleed even more once the knife was pulled out of his arm. For now, it was stuck in there. And it hurt. A lot.
Also, it was a good opportunity to attack. Abrahams knee shot forward, aiming for Uddos guts.

Uddo breath was knocked out of him and he lost his grip on his knife. The small boy was flung through the air, hitting the ground hard, but turning his fall into a roll to keep himself from blacking out completely. Uddo tried to raise himself back up, but collapsed onto his knees. He winced horribly, clutching his chest. He looked a little bit sick, like he might throw up.

Luna face softened alittle as she wraped her arms around him and hugged him, trying to sooth him. "dont worry heuy, its alright, you dont have to be sorry" she said and kissed his forhead. she looked back and looked at everyone fighting "please huey, will you help me stop all this? i dont wanna see my friends get hurt, if any of them where injured, it would break my heart" she said softly.

"I... I don't know, I... uncle Zack will get really mad at me..."
Huey hid his face, ashamed of his own weakness.
"And I'm such a weakling, I couldn't even beat one of them... It's the demon, you see? My demon's too weak, uncle Zack says."
But he didn't want Luna to be sad. He didn't want his family to kill hers if it'd break her heart, even when they were losers and she deserved better. What to do?

Johan began to ask himself when Zacharias would want to end this fight. Even now, that he seemed to be using all of his powers, he was still merely playing. He didn't aim to kill him just yet, though that was so obviously his stated goal.
Both of them had gotten a few hits in, and were slightly out of breath. The last time Johan had a fight that draining had been back in west blue.
He blocked a kick with his arm and jabbed at Zacharias face, hich his opponent dodged. He had been prepared for this, and hit him in the face with his other hand. At the same time, he felt Zacharias fist his own face on hte other side. For a moment, both of them stood there. Then, they jumped away from each other and glared at each other, Zacharias bleeding slightly, but still smirking, and Johan just panting. This didn't lead anywhere. It was just a battle of who would stand longer, and he knew they both had exactly the same skill in that. Shit. His legs were shaking. So were his opponents. It wouldn't take much longer.
Something had to happen.

"I'm sorry. I really, really am."
Abraham murmured as he stepped closer to Uddo. Slowly, he raised his fist. He really hated hitting children. In fact, it stood in conflict with what he was. So, for the boys sake, he would try to end it quickly now.


(people, this'll soon be over and done with, don't expect a much longer fight. Don't worry, what's coming'll make up for it.)

Kain instantly reacted towards Abraham and Uddo. Forgetting about the girl, he shot forward and rammed his body unto's Abraham, his expression still emotionless as ever but you can see some sweat on his face now.
He'll be willing to fight two opponents if it'll keep them safe. He made it his goal to get them to safety.
Doing so, the ball in his mouth dropped, safely on the ground, not exploding out or anything, and that made Kain got a breath of relief.

Uddo had been all set to roll away from the strike...but then Kain protected him. Again, someone was put in danger because he was weak! Uddo clenched his hands into fists...but then noticed a small ball lying on the ground nearby. He didn't know who had dropped it so he picked it up, examining it and trying to figure out what it was.

Luna kept hugging huey "your not weak huey, your strong, but your still young so you should learn to use your power to help people, you still have a long time to control it and make you strong" she said and smiled at him "as for me, im weak, the attack i just used was my third most powerfull, and i passed out right after...if i tired to use my most powerfull attack, i'd probly not wake up after"

"Then don't just use it like that, if it makes you go unconcious and shit."
Hueys words were rude, but his voice was still the one of a little boy trying to say: Please don't do things that willl end up hurting you.
He knew himself that that was beside the point, but he had to say it. He wiped the last tears off his face and freed himself from Lunas embrace.
He looked at the battles for a moment, then, without looking at Luna, he said:
"You have your family, I have mine. It hurts you when my family hurts yours, and it hurts me to see you hurt."
Those were pretty deep words... and kind of confusing, coming from a little boy.
"That's why I help you. Uncle Zack says people are egoistic, so what I'll do is egoistic. But it's also for you. So you owe me.... And it won't go like this next time."
After that confusing little speech, he dashed off towards the battles.

"Agh!"
Abraham, despite his size, was brought off course by the impact with the smaller man. He held his side and stumbled back.
Now he had to fight this guy, as well? Why was it that he had to fight everyone available?
He turned to his newest attacker and yet again slammed his hand down as if swatting a fly. A big fly, but still small enough to be brought down by such a punch.

One second! You didn't attack for one second, and your opponent ran off somewhere else! Luckily, he had run off just into the right ddirection, and had his back turned to her as well. Lin Jing turned the knife and the cutlass in her hand, so that she was wielding them backhanded now. Much better. Then she dashed forward, aiming to ram the cutlass into Kains side.
She was just milimeters away when... she was stopped. Something threw her off course. Out of reflex, she turned in her fall and pushed it to the ground. One moment later, her knife was pointing at... Huey? Her eyes showed confusion for a moment, then got their usual cold professionalism back. If Huey was a traitor, then she'd have to kill him. Those were the rules. He rknife pressed against his throat.
"Nooo!"
Abraham shouted. His hand barely changed direction, and instead of Kain, it hit Lin Jing. The girl was too surprised to do anything and crashed into the next wall hard. She slided down on it, holding her side. Something had cracked alarmingly on the impact. She got up with an angry expression on her face.
Meanwhile, Huey got up and coughed a little.
He looked up at Abraham, then at Lin Jing.
"You're such a loser, dad. Letting your feelings taking control of your actions."
Maybe this was his way of saying thank you?

"Agh... losers... every single one of them..."
Zacharias, by now, was panting as hard as Johan was. His lip had been split by a particularly nasty blow, and he was bleeding somewhere from wihtin his mouth as well. Johan didn't look much better. Though not bleeding from anywhere, he had taken really nast hits which would no doubt turn out to be more or less serious later.
His legs were shaking hard, and so were his opponents. They couldn't take much more. Both of them knew.
"So, shall we end this, mr revolutionary?"
Despite his state, you had to give Zacharias credit for still smirking. He even put a small bow in, which he regretted a moment later, when he was painfully reminded of the hit he had taken on his right leg earlier on.
Johan readied himself for the last attack, and so did his opponent. It never came to the last attack. After taking one step towards each other, both of them fell, void of any strenght.
"N-not bad..."
Zacharias laughed a little.
"Neither are you."
He rolled on his back and looked at the ceiling. The floor seeme to be nice and soft right now... He didn't even want to stand up.
"Pfeh, looks like... a draw, right... how... boring.."
With that, Zacharias closed his eyes and passed out, a smile still on his face. Johan was still concious, barely. If his opponent had just taken him seriously, then maybe this wouldn't have been so easy... Why had he kept on playing? Johan didn't understand. He felt his eyelids get heavy and finally, couldn't resist anymore. The last thing he saw before passing out was Lin Jing, dashing towards Kain with his cutlass.

"I don't wanna interrupt..."
The man obviously was interrupting, and he even more obviously not giving a damn. He had appeared out of nowhere behind Lin Jing. Weird, hadn't there only been a wall behind her?
The upper half of his face was still covered by a helmet, like the ones von Rosbergs soldiers wore. On the lower half, there was a dull grin, and he had the arm of another, seemingly unconcious man over his shoulder, patched up as good as possible without medical knowledge.
The eyes of the three mercenaries about to clash turned to him, but he just pointed into another direction, past them.
"Uncle Zack...."
Huey said, awestruck that anyone could make his uncle pass out.
The other two said nothing.
"Well, you see? Not that I think it'd get you to leave or anything, but I don't really think you want to be here once that boy.."
He nodded towards Uddo, who was holding a small, round object.
"Figured out how to open this. Right, mate?"
The eyes under his helmet were now fixed on Uddo.

Opened...what? Uddo looked down at the object in his hand. A wicked smile appeared on his face as something clicked in his brain.

"Yeah! That's right!" Uddo stood up, raising the ball above his head. "If you all don't leave right now, I'm going to open this thing." Truthfully, Uddo had no idea how to open the object, but if worst came to worst, he would try smashing it into the ground.
