Old battles

As it got to this point Tral had to clear the air before going up officially.

"Honestly I'm surprised you trust me at all considering how we met last time." Tral replied before continuing "Gara just in case can you be ready for a C.E.E. (chaotic emergency escape)" which causes Gara's eyes to open wide before she shouts "Don't even think about it! Why would you do that right now?"

To which Tral responds "mostly because even though I don't currently wish these people harm.. I may have killed their people when they attempted to rescue me and Darick from project Blood Sparrow" This caused the resistance members to put up their guard. Vishka in particular got ready to fight going so far as to make an icy water shield wall protecting Mr.Inherst and his daughter.

Mr.Inherst though calmy raises his hand towards Vishka "Calm down, I assumed this was that problem but that is all behind us. What you where made to do for the military, especially that terrible project are the past so let it stay there all of you."

Tral looked shocked "Are you serious? Do you actually not care about what I did that day and aren't even going to question why?"

Mr.Inherst slowly shook his head "That day was a dark day for the resistance. We entered that training valley with well over a hundred men, easily took the guards, instructors and shut down the kids control callers so that we could take them away without the military killing them.. but what we didn't account for was out of the hundred kids in the project, about thirteen of them turned on us even without the callers keeping them in line."

"What? Why would they do that with freedom right there in front of them" Gara asked in confusion.

Tral sighs as if a great weight sat on his shoulders. "You are the reason Gara.. They threatened us with the lives of our friends and siblings. If they didn't see us fight against the resistance then they would punish the others as traitors."

Mr.Inherst nods knowingly "It's not your fault Tral, we should have been able to handle a couple kids even if they all had powers."

"You did handle most of those kids, they killed a couple people in surprise attacks before they got tranquized but it was my fault you failed that mission" Tral proclaimed very seriously "I must have killed over fifty people that day and forcing you to retreat with grievance wounds."

Vishka suddenly screams "You're that explosive psycho! Go die for you're crimes!" before launching three crescent ice blades at Tral from the air around her.

Darick calmly stands in front of Tral taking the three blades which shatter on impact yet doesn't move him at all.

"Vishka you must stop now!" Demands Mr.Inherst while holding her in a bear hug.

Vishka flails around trying to escape his grip "But James, he is the one who killed so many of our friends and took your eye! How can you let him live?"

"I told you already. I forgive him for what happened that day. It is all in the past where it should stay." expressed Mr.Inherst.

"If it helps, I'm sorry but would do it again for my sister in a heartbeat" Stated Tral before continuing "Honestly if I didn't hold back you all would have died there but I couldn't let the military know my power was a little more than just causing small explosions."

Vishka glares at Tral as if her eyes alone could kill him. "Vishka please calm down if not for any other reason than I need you to and will get down on my knees and beg you if I must to make you stop." This caused Vishka's eye to widen and stopped her struggling. "You should never kneel before me sir, even since you first saved my life I could never allow such a thing. I will listen to your wishes despite my better judgement but please be careful as the resistance needs your leadership more than anyone."

With that Mr.Inherst releases her and turns to look Tral in the eye. "I could have had this eye healed years ago but kept it as a reminder of that day. It reminds me to never underestimate an opponent and never assume others will think the same way as me."

Mr.Inherst then raises his hand out to Tral saying "You did what you thought was right for your people and I hope together we can work for a better future for others." This left everyone in complete shock and silence until slowly Tral grabbed his hand and shook it steadily. "You are quite the man Mr.Inherst. I both respect you and as payment for what I have done, I will support you however I can as long as it don't harm my family."

Mr.Inherst smiles "I'm glad that former opponents in battle can work together to fight against the common enemy."

"You are quite the combatant, dodging all my explosions with ease and almost forcing me to use my real power in front of the eyes of the military just to save my own life." responded Tral talking as if they had been friends for years.

Mr.Inherst laughs "I was quite shocked when you started attacking causing explosions to rip through our troops. Rarely have I found an opponent who can even land a hit on me let alone throwing a knife into my eye. That from a child, really woke me up to my vulnerability."

"what? vulnerability my ass! That knife had an explosion behind it redirecting it, making it faster than a human could react and yet you still grabbed it as it pierced your eye stopping it from going all the way through to the brain." Tral remarked.

Mr.Inherst shrugs "It's not much when I react and move in instantaneous bursts as well as having many years combat of experience."

Tral slaps himself on the head "Of coarse that is your power. Explains how I couldn't surprise you with any normal tricks but succeeded using multiple explosions with the help those other monsters to make you dodge where I want you followed by an explosive launched knife."

"Are you two done jerking off each others combat skills?" Gara interrupts quickly annoyed by her brothers actions.

Mr.Inherst immediately regains his composer "My apologies Ms.Salvara. How about we continue our talk about this upcoming mission in the command center?"
