4 The Awakening.

Combining Johnny's ability with Robin's, gave birth to an overpowered ability that any thief would kill for.

 

Johnny's ability that shows you the location of anything you think about and it's surroundings as long as it is in a radius of a hundred km, and Rabin's ability which let him teleport to any place as long as he saw it once before.

 

The combination of those two abilities was something that even Robin didn't expect.

 

That ability gave him the feeling that as long as he thought about something and that thing was close to him he could be able to knew where it was and what's around it and if no one is around the thing that he wants he would teleport there and take it easily.

 

The duration of the copy stone was ten minutes which was enough for Robin; he activated the copy stone and thought about the crystal.

 

What Robin feared the most was that he won't be able to feel the existent of the crystal, but fortunately he was able to feel where it was.

 

It was in a closed room with no doors or openings. That room was a few hundred meters under the palace's ground.

 

The inside of that room had no guards, and he wasn't able to see any traps or things like that in the room.

 

After making sure that no one was there he teleported to the room using his ability, and as soon as he did he held the crystal and teleported back.

 

He didn't teleport to his and sister's home but to a remote corner of the city, he wasn't going to put all of his hope on the crystal, as he had other targets in his list.

 

After rubbing three other houses from their small and valuable possessions, he returned home.

 

He knew that the guards were going to be after him shortly, so he and his sister had to move.

 

Returning home he told his sister that they were moving, she didn't ask any questions and just followed him as he bought a horse and a cart.

 

His sister laid there in the cart while he was directing it, of course he wasn't going to use a cart to run he just used it as a diversion, they left the city through the south gate.

 

After they moved for two hours, they finally stopped and Robin hugged his sister and teleported to a place few hundreds kilometers away from the north gate.

 

That was the furthest distant that he could teleport to, after teleport that far he couldn't use his ability for a while.

 

In that place he had a cart ready, he get it for his sister as he knew that she wouldn't be able to hold on for long if she had to walk a long distant.

 

They used the cart for an hour, and after that the cool down for his ability was already over.

 

Just as he was going to hug his sister and teleport to a close town nearby, he felt as if a veil was thrown on him and his ability become unusable.

 

Robin entered the streets since young and after all those years he get a sixth sense that made him able to feel when he's in a deadly situation, and at that moment he felt that more than any other time in his life.

 

Turning his head to the south he saw a huge white bird that gave him a chilly aura even from that far of a distance. On the back of that gigantic bird there stood thirteen young men and women wearing shinning red armors.

 

As he saw that, Robin face's changed and his heart stopped for a second.

 

"The Royal Guards, they sent them after us how... Why..."

 

Robin didn't know what to say he just stood there looking at the gigantic bird getting closer and closer.

 

He never thought that they would send the Royal Guards after him, as the Royal Guards only get dispatched to deal with situations that the other soldiers have no ability to solve, a situation that can lead to the destruction of the fire continent.

 

But Robin didn't take a few points into consideration, first, Ethan was a proud person, so he would never accept the thought of something getting stolen from his palace, so when the people in the palace knew that something get stolen they simply sent the strongest unite that was there.

 

Here come the second point; because of what was happening, Ethan and the other seven Gods all left together to some unknown place, and he asked the twelve Royal Guards to guard the continent.

 

And the twelfth Royal guard leader Harold was left in the capital with some new members.

 

So it was a mix between bad luck and bad timing for Robin.

 

It didn't take long for the gigantic bird to stop in front of them, no matter how hard Robin triad to teleport he couldn't, that feeling of being isolated from the world was still there.

 

"Nero you idiot, to think that a little thief played you like that, I remember that as we were leaving you said that we don't have to worry and that finding that little thief will be a piece of cake, yet look at yourself, because of you my little white had to fly all the way to the south and then return to the north."

 

The voice of a girl talking playfully came from the back of the gigantic bird as the ones on top of it were getting down.

 

"Come on Sandy, who would have thought that he would teleport to the opposite direction of his first path." a glasses wearing twenty-two twenty-three young man said while jumping from the back of the bird.

 

All the people that were getting down from the bird were chatting and laughing as if Robin wasn't even there, they all had relaxed and happy expressions on their faces.

 

"For someone that had enough guts to steal from the Burning Heavenly Palace you look quite normal." finally Sandy looked at Robin and said that with an interested look on her face.

 

"Pl... Please can you let her go, she's just a normal person, not to mention that she's ill she knew nothing and had nothing to do with what happened." Robin's expression returned to normal as he looked at Harold.

 

Not many people in the fire continent weren't familiar with Harold, knowing who Harold was and what he did, he didn't bother trying to run or bag for his forgiveness he just wished for them to let his sister live.

 

"Sorry to tell you but his highness Ethan ordered us to kill everyone involved and all their family member as a warning for anyone who might have other thoughts like that." even though he said that Randy's face didn't show any indication of being sorry.

 

"Then I won't go without a fight" as he said that Robin hugged his sister that was just looking at what was happening calmly.

 

She knew what was happening and she knew that she probably was going to die soon, but she never blamed her brother as she was sure that he only did that because of her.

 

As Robin hugged her, he started trying to activate his ability while keeping an eye at his surroundings.

 

"Nero, while Kevin is keeping him from using his ability you go and deal with him, that will be your punishment for messing up when tracking him." Harold talked.

 

"Ok, leave it to me." Nero said and he brought out a green bow, and stood in top of the gigantic bird as it flow and started circling around Robin.

 

The bow had a few leaves growing on it as if it was alive, Nero picked one of the leaves growing from the bow and then as if the tail of an arrow, he pulled the string of the bow with it.

 

The weird thing was that as he pulled the string an arrow started manifesting starting from the leave, he aimed the arrow at Robin and released.

 

As Robin saw the arrow being aimed at him he felt a kind of danger he never felt before, he hugged gist sister tightly and started running in a zigzagging way

 

In all his panicking and fear for his sister, he didn't notice that the one he was trying so desperately to save had a dull expression on her face and a pair of blank eyes as she looked around her in a mechanical way.

 

Suddenly her eyes fell on a boy that seemed fairly young and had a pair of dark eyes, it was the boy that Harold called Kevin, and they stayed on him no matter how much Robin moved.

 

As Robin started moving, Nero released the arrow, it passed just a few centimeters away from him, it even scratched his clothes a little.

 

But even though he avoided it the feeling of danger was still there, he kept on running away from the place where the arrow fell.

 

Before moving three steps away, the ground shock softly, and in a reduce of three meters with the place where the arrow fell as the center, thorns as thick as a thumb half a meter long suddenly shut from the ground.

 

As Robin felt that he used all his power and lifted his sister above his head.

 

The thorns priced his body but fortunately no important organs were hurt, hugging his sister tightly he looked at Nero and said:

 

"I never thought that someone from the Royal guards would be this cowardly fighting a person with his ability disabled using a bow" as he finished saying that he sighed and looked at his sister Anie, it wasn't till then that he noticed how abnormal his sister was acting...

 

"Why would I care yo... Oh?! Sandy control you chicken please I almost fell" Nero was going to start mocking Robin but then the bird that he was on shock and he almost fell.

 

"I didn't do anything, it's just that for some reason I somehow can't control it well anymore it's almost as if there's an interference between it and me" Sandy said while massaging her temple.

 

"Well do your job and kee... hahhhhh"

 

Nero's shout made everyone look at him, and as they did they saw that the gigantic bird was acting in a weird way as it started swaying from one way to the other and struggling.

 

Sandy also had a similar condition as she was screaming of pain, while Nero was trying his best to stay on top of the bird.

 

"Something is wrong, it's him he's doing something hurry up and stop him" Harold was the first to react as he shouted at everyone else.

 

As they were running toward Robin that pulled himself from the thorn, Nero jumped from the back of the bird falling just a few meters away from him:

 

"I will deal with you" as he was going to use a dagger to hit him, Kevin suddenly shouted:

 

"Not good I can't control my ability anymore his going to run" but even before he finished saying that Robin his sister and Nero disappeared from in front of them.
