Chapter 42

The machine nodded in satisfaction looking at its very first revival.' The moment I was born I knew my purpose and that I needed to find you. I didn't know what you looked like, not on the outside anyway, but on the inside, I'd always known who you were, and that together we could be something...more.

You still have more to see, more to do, more to accomplish. And I shall be by your side...so thank you for being born...My Guardian."

The spherical machine spoke to the still unconscious Leon, but it didn't seem to have minded.

As the machine was reminiscing, it seemed to have sensed something as it quickly retreated into Leon's physical body Turing into particles of luminescent lights.

{Tap, Tap, Click, Tap Tap}

The sound of heels clicking could be heard not even a minute later.

" Tsk! Boring, all these meat bags are boring, none of them even try and fight back. And there was no one worthy of my blade to stain. Well, it's about time I start retreating, the barrier won't be able to hold much longer anyway.

{CHHHHHH}

[Snake this is Cat retreat immediately, awakened are already on their way and the barrier will break any minute now. Don't stick around like you did...]

" Ye, Ye, I'm heading out, don't get your tail in a twist...Ha! get it because.."

[Leave, Now.]

" Sigh you really are a boring cat, you must be having a dry season, that's why you're so..."

.

[Beeeep]

" And she cut the connection, pftt haha she probably hasn't gotten laid in like months, maybe even a few years knowing her. Welp, I guess I better head...huh." Snake froze when she heard the sound of mild groaning.

She looked to her left and saw an individual no a child slowly waking up from unconsciousness but struggling to fully wake.

" Hehe, what do we have here, astray rabbit fit for hunting, well slaughtering is a better word for what I'm about to do."

Snake sashayed forward while her hips swung in a mesmerizing pattern. She slowly made her way toward Leon as she drew her katana.

{Shiiiiiiing}

The blade made a beautiful bell-like sound as it was being drawn from its sheath. The blade itself was reflective and looked brand-new but was only like this because it was well maintained and taken care of.

"Let's make this quick, umm how should I end him, a clean straight stab to the heart, no that's too quick, what about a slice through his jugular or perhaps slowly cutting his stomach open, sigh but I don't have much time so I guess I'll just stab him through his cranium."

Feeling satisfied with her choice she lifted her katana over her head and stabbed down...but right at the critical moment of penetration, snakes movements came to a grinding halt.

The reason being was because as Leon was stirring awake his lose mask fell off his face showing Snake his full appearance.

" He..he...Oh my god!! This kids totally my type.

Those chiseled features that soft-looking raven hair, his cute little pout...this kid is totally my dream boyfriend...but he is a little young, ah what do I care, the younger they are the easier it is to train them."

"Mhh, I wasn't given a reward for this mission yet so I think you'll do quite nicely. Be thankful handsome because from today onwards you will be my personal...Huh, there already here, I better grab...

{BOOOOM}

An Explosion sounded in the distance and Snake reacting just in the nick of time held up her sword to block the incoming sword attack coming from above her.

(CLISHHHH, SGHHHH)

Sparks flew as the two swords clashed, the other new swordsman pushed down on Snake's sword but didn't seem to have any advantage when it came to strength, they seemed equally matched.

"Haha haha, damn looks like I took too long, I need to...Ugh!" Snake grunted mid-sentence when she felt her enemy's foot connect to her gut, sending her flying backwards before her body blasted through twenty buildings, but finally coming to a halt on the twenty-first."

The new person in question glared in snakes' direction before redirecting her gaze to Leon who was still out of it.

The person immediately knelt down to check every nook and cranny of his body to check for any injuries. When she didn't see any she sighed in relief.

'Thank god your safe, I didn't know what I would have done if you weren't. Don't worry master your safe now, but why is there so much blood on you...well it doesn't seem to be your blood so it doesn't matter.'

That's when another figure suddenly appeared. But instead of coming from the sky, she appeared from the sword woman's shadow, literally.

" How is the young master sis, is he OK? Should we send him to the hospital?" The girl spoke also repeating her sister's earlier actions and checking Leon's body for any injuries."

" Sakura, I need you to take the young master and head back to the manner immediately. Inform the misstress and Lucia that we have the young master safe and sound, ill stay back and ask that...SAKURA NOW."

The woman quickly said as snakes had recovered from that kick quite quickly and was making her way back to their location at hypersonic speeds.
