Chapter 10: We'll Meet Again

Meanwhile Carolyn, and the gang arrive at the outside of Hellhound’s Lair where they are greeted by dozens of Blackwolves.

“Lance should be inside that building over there, we just have to get rid of these clowns.” Carolyn says to the group

“Right, let’s make short work of these ruffians shall we?” Fluffy says charging up his spiritual energy

The men then rush towards the three

‘LEO! TIGRESS!'

 ' Lunch is served! Go Get em!’ Aria says as her familiars rush towards the large group cutting the numbers down to half.

C’mon guys It’s only two girls and a stuffed animal! We’re the Blackwolves! Let’s get em! One of the henchman commands his group

Fluffy is surrounded by a group of thugs

“You’re just a stuffed animal, what do you think you can do to the likes of us?!” One man shouts out

“I’m not just any stuffed animal! I’m Count Vanderbilt Leone Von Strussen Ignacio the XVII!” Fluffy says as he slams into the ground with his spiritual energy sending the group of men flying and rendering them all unconscious.

“But since that may be too much for your primitive minds to comprehend you can call me Fluffy.”

Carolyn is surrounded by a small group of guys who charge at her at once. Carolyn easily counters their offensive by disarming and knocking the henchman down in a similar way Lance did back at the bar.

‘Lance, please be alright, we’ll be with you shortly.’ Carolyn says to herself as she knocks out another henchman running towards her from behind with a swift kick to the stomach.

Back in Hellhound’s Hideout..

Hellhound approaches Lance and slips a pill into his mouth

“Don’t worry, I’ve had more than enough fun today, plus there’s some other business I have to attend to so we’ll be out of your hair shortly. What you just took is a pill of vigor. Can you get up?” Hellhound asks Lance

Lance though still visibly damaged from the fight feels a sudden burst of energy and manages to pick himself up.

“I-I think so.. Why are you helping me?” Lance asks Hellhound with a look of confusion.

“Like I said, I’m not the bad guy. Plus it’d be a shame to just dispose of someone with potential such as yourself and I’m not the type of person who kills for leisure. I apologize for my colleague, he isn’t the type to show restraint."

Hellhound then looks over at the unconcious Allen Kirkwood.

 "Judging from your friend’s injuries his life shouldn’t be in danger, but he does need immediate medical attention.” Hellhound says reassuring Lance that his friend is in no danger

*TCHHHH*

“Hold on one second”

*CLICK*

“Yes, something the matter? What? You don’t say.. It can’t be helped, at least now I don’t have to worry about weeding out the weaklings in the group. Yes, I’ll be out momentarily.”

“That was another one of the members of Twilight, apparently a party of three has made short work of my gang and is infiltrating my base as we speak.” Hellhound informs Lance

‘Crap. They don’t stand a chance against these two. What should I do?!’ Lance thinks to himself

“Relax, I have no intention of fighting your comrades. You’re very fortunate to have people willing to go out of their way for you. I’m assuming someone in your party is a capable healer? Have that person treat that man’s wounds as soon as possible."

Hellhound then signals his comrade.

"Cutlass, we’ll be leaving now.”

“Whaaaat? My blades still thirst for action. I wanna cut some more things up! Lemme have a go at ‘em!” Cutlass cries out in dissapointment

“You know, I really don’t have the time to deal with your petty issues, but if you’re itching for a fight, I’ll be more than happy to burn you to ashes.” Hellhound says as he forms a ball of flame in the palm of his hand.

“HEEHEEHEEEHEE. Nope, I’m not looking to get cremated today, I read you loud and clear!” Cutlass responds with a salute.

“Good. We must go at once.” Hellhound tells his comrade as they walk towards the exit

Just then Carolyn and the gang burst into the room.

“LANCE!! We’re here to get you!” Carolyn yells as she and the gang burst into the room.

As she walks in she notices a bloodied Allen and a beaten up Lance.

“W-What happened here?!” Carolyn gasps in shock

Hellhound and Cutlass continue to walk towards the exit.

“What have you scoundrels done to Sir Lance!” Fluffy yells as he builds up his spiritual energy.

“Relax. Your friend isn’t in any danger. But you should get your healer friend to give that other man some medical attention.” Hellhound casually replies

“Yes as much as I’d like to cut you into tiny little pieces, me and Hellhound here are in a hurry at the moment.” Cutlass says as he waves goodbye to Lance’s group

“We’ll meet again Lance Bladerunner.” Hellhound says before the two depart.

HELLHOUND TAKES HIS LEAVE, WHAT’S NEXT FOR LA FAMILIA?
