22 Chapter 22
After killing him, I noticed everyone raise and point their weapons at us about to fire. Seeing the aggressiveness, I was about to kill them all when the most powerful one here shouted and walked forward through the encirclement.
Captain-"STOP, hold your fire."
When they heard the woman's orders, at least from the way she sounded I assumed that the leader was a female. They immediately put their weapons down, but I noticed some of them seemed to look at me hatefully. Shrugging I look at the leader and sense her ki, I can tell that she is one of the strongest people on this planet. Her ki is far higher than almost everybody's I sensed when We first landed.
Sage-'If she is one of the strongest here I'm curious what her Power level is.'
Wanting to check her power level, I tap the scouter that I have been wearing and I watch as the numbers start rising before stopping.
[..Target scanned power level..4,680]
Sage-'So low? Well, what was I expecting? It's rare to find strong people.'
Now that the captain is standing in front of us, I thought of just killing them all and taking their loot.
Sage-'While that would be the quickest way to do things, I would prefer to have at least some basic info about this place. Tsk, why does it have to be so complicated.'
Captain-"I must apologize for the rude behavior from before."
Nala-"We accept your apology, me and my partner are just travelers, wanting to experience the beauty of nature."
Captain-"I see, but we have gotten word of an unauthorized spaceship landing in this forest and you just happened to be in the area where the trail leads to. So I hope you can understand our situation."
Nala-"Of course, but I haven't seen or heard anybody in this forest."
Hearing them talk about useless stuff especially when we all know we are the people they are after made me irritated by the second, and it doesn't help knowing I could kill them all and get this over with. Looking over to Nala who seems to enjoy conversing with someone other than me.
Sage-"Nala how much longer are you going to continue to talk. We got things to do, you know?"
Nala, hearing me Just looks over at me with a blank face before she tells the captain that we have other things to do.
Nala-"Ahh, yes I forgot. We have some errands to do, if you'll excuse us please."
Captain-"No worries, here is my card if you ever find anything related to the spaceship or if you have something you wanted 'taken' care of."
With that finally over we continue walking with the soldiers making way, letting us pass through. While walking away I hear one of the soldiers ask their captain.
Soldier.1-"They killed the vice-captain, are we just going to let them walk away."
Captain-"You saw what that child did to him, the child's expression didn't even change when he did it. That's not his first time killing. If you want to avenge the vice-captain then go ahead, but note I will kick you out of the group."
After that, they started climbing up some ladders to their hover plane.

It's been a couple of hours since getting stopped by that group, and I sense that we're pretty close to what I assume would be a city. A little bit later We finally exit the forest and the first thing we see is a long line of hovering cars trying to get into a city.
Nala, seeing the giant city surrounded by walls, gets really excited. She grabs my arm and slithers towards the city. But before we can get too close to the city, several cars start honking and yelling at us.
Car.1-"*honk**honk* NO CUTTING LINE, GET TO THE BACK."
Car.2-"*honk**honk* YEAH, WE HAVE BEEN FOREVER AND WE ARE NOT ABOUT TO LET YOU CUT IN FRONT OF US."
Car.3-"*honk**honk* WHAT THEY SAID!"
Hearing all these people I ignored them, but Nala seemed to want to get in that long line that I can't even see the end of.
Sage-"Nala we can just fly over the wall, why wait in some long-ass line?"
Nala just looks at me like I'm stupid or something.
Nala-"Did you think you were the only one here that thought of that? This is a city, do you think they don't have security measures against people flying over the walls?"
When she says it like that, I guess she's right. Looking around I try to come up with a way to sneak in, because I'm not waiting in that long ass line! That's when Nala starts slithering back towards the forest, dragging me with her too. Annoyed at getting dragged everywhere like some child I question her.
Sage-"Slow down woman, what are you doing!"
Nala-"I got a plan to get us In the city."
Interested, I started paying attention to her.
Sage-"So what's your plan?"
Nala-"You will fly us over the city, but I make us Invisible so they can't track us."
Agreeing to her plan I watched her write some Runes, and when she finished. They sank into our bodies before disappearing, leaving a light pink glow on where they sank into our skin. Looking back at her confused at why I can still see her, she answers first.
Nala-"I tweaked the 'concealing rune' a little bit so we could see each other."
With that Nala latches on to me and I start flying to the city, a minute later we are already in the city and I look for a concealed place to land. Finding a dark alley, I fly down and land in it. Now that we have landed, Nala takes off the Rune's on our bodies, allowing us to be seen again. Now that we are visible again, we start to head to the open road, when a couple of thugs get in front of us trying to rob us. Well, rob Nala to be more specific I have nothing but a scouter and some busted pants. But Nala's clothes make her look like a noble with her shiny earrings and rings she has.
Thug.1-"Give us the valuables lady or you'll get hurt."
Thug.2-"Yeah what he said. We don't want to hurt you, so just be nice and hand us your clothes."
Smiling at the great opportunity to finally get some money.
Sage-"Yes! Now we have money."
Saying that I walk over to the thugs ignoring their warnings and quickly beat them up. After robbing them of everything except their clothes, we managed to get some gold chains, silver chains, useless knives, and about 500 Zeni in cash. Not knowing whether that is good or not I hand most of the stuff to Nala, because again I don't have anywhere to put these.
Nala-"*sigh*"
With that, we have officially entered the city that I don't even know the name of, but then again it's not like It matters.
