Chapter 6: new faction

Authors note:( Thank you all for reading this far, please i urge you all to go up to chapter 30 before you decide if you wanna drop it or not)...

Not too long ago, Rodney had received a shocking notification that left him dumbfounded.

"Guys I really think this is too much,Eiko would have been the perfect leader" rodney said.

"We've made our decision so make yours and name the faction so we can go for some group quests" Eiko said.

"Now would you stop being a baby and decide already" Blair said punching Rodney playfully on the shoulders

It came as a surprise to him and he was finding it very difficult to digest. The responsibilities that came with being a leader was very hard and he wasn't sure he was ready for that, but what's done is done and there's no going back he thought.

"if we're a team then we decide as a team". Rodney spoke up.

They all agreed and began to crack their heads for a hunting group name

" Oh I got it..how bout beast nightmare... You know cause we are their worst nightmare?". Blair suggested and the group just looked in his direction shaking their heads

" OK guys...Border faction?" Mia suggested..

"Why border faction?" Eiko asked...

" well we did leave our dimension if I'm not mistaking to find ourselves here" she said while shrugging. It was clear the two that had come up with names were terrible at it.

"How about legion?... I mean we are obviously small in number but pack the force of a legion" Eiko went on to explain..

"That's okay I guess .." Rodney said.

" we don't have to go with it if you had something better, let's head yours before we decide " Eiko mentioned and the rest nodded in agreement.

"No its totally fine, I was blank anyway" Rodney said then forced a laugh as if to drive the message home that it was fine.

" OK legion it is..." Mia said excitedly .

" The mighty legion!!!!" Blair said in a loud tone.

It seems they were all in agreement so the notification popped up again.

[Legion faction created]

[New title attained:leader of the legion].

[Title rewards]

[When fighting as a team all stats will be increased by 10%]

[Leader:level 1]

[Group slot:3/10]

[Group quest unlocked]

[Hunt down the rampaging level 8 bull]

[Reward: group level up]

[Leader exp:50]

[Stats can only be seen from level 10]

"Alright!! this feels nice..." He thought as he read through what was displayed. It seems he not only got the reward the group would receive but would receive extra exp as well. Though the stats option wasn't available now but he just recently unlocked his ability and couldn't wait to try it out..

Checking out the ability slot.

[ shadow ability]

[ level: 1]

Skills:

Shadow bomb.

" Only one skill?...and the ability itself was at a level 1?!!" Rodney thought in frustration but felt he couldn't do much about it if he just kept yelling in his mind.

The groups are ranked from F down to A and the legion group is ranked F because it's a new group.

"Guys I believe we just got our first quest and it's not one that will be easy" Rodney said and they all knew cause they also saw the messages as well.

[Roles can be assigned by group leader to members]

[Location of the beast has been uploaded to your map]

"I got the location.lets hunt" rodney said smoldering

*****

As they arrived at the location where the bull was scattering. They could see the bull was no small one and it looked busy wrecking everything in its part. Not a single wall stood where the bull had been.

"OK guys we need a plan, first we have to grab its attention" Rodney spoke to the team.

" On it!!" Blair said as he ran forward and picked up a stone hauling it at the bull. The beast suddenly stopped in its tracks and turned it's attention to the the only people it could see now making the deduction that it could only be them, either way it was going to attack anyway and so it charged.

"Uhm guys ...now what?" Blair said as he began to run back to the spot the others were at.

" Spread out!!! Standing together will make us an easy target" Rodney shouted out and the others complied with this as they were all going into positions. Mia and Eiko went to high grounds as their choice of weapon required some distance for full effect, Rodney and Blair were left on the ground with the bull which was obviously not an enviable position right now.

The beast was coming at an incredible speed that they couldn't match up with, then it suddenly decided to focus on one in particular.

"Why is it coming ar me !" Blair complained as he took to his heels running round the market with the bull not to far behind.

"Hmm let's see..maybe if you had not run off to pick a fight with it in the first place!!" Rodney replies to Blair's earlier question as he was chasing after the bull that was chasing Blair.

This was an awkward site for more than one reason. Eiko was having the hardest time aiming as they wouldn't stay in one place for him to aim and he wasn't keen on hitting his team mates either. Mia was having the same problem as Eiko as her weapon, the fan although couldn't travel far still required some distance and precision just like Eiko's .

"Wait a minute, I have unlocked my ability" Eiko said in excitement as he hurried reaches for a bow in his quiver and got set to take the shot at the bull.

"Can you guys slow it down a bit?" Eiko shouted at the guys.

It was amazing how long Blair had been running for his life without let up. He maintained the same speed which was fast and kept going like a locomotive not even looking back form once.

Rodney who was tired of running behind the two playing tag decided a different approach

" Hey Blair!!!! Run towards me" Rodney barked at Blair . Without Blair was seen running towards Rodney.

"What the...what is he trying to do ..get himself killed?" Mia thought watching the whole thing. Eiko by now had lowered his bow and arrow as he was just as curious ..

Blair was running full steam ahead and when he got behind Rodney. The latter held out his hands pointing the charging bull.

"Don't tell me this was what you had planned ...a staring contest?!" Blair complained..

What Rodney was trying to do was activate his shadow powers

[shadow bomb].

And just like that six shadow rose in front of the boys in a straight line, all this shadows had one thing in common, they all looked like Rodney. The only difference was they were completely shadow black. The bull kept on charming ahead and for every shadow it got close to, it was made to pay as it kept on blowing up reducing it's health and speed, and finally the last one of the shadow bombs had left the bull staggering..

"let's finish this"Eiko said as he drew his arrow and fired at the beast. The arrow was coming in fast and was heading for the stomach of the beast. When suddenly it changed direction and speed and went right through the eye of the beast. The beast fell and moaned in pain for few seconds before it stopped moving.

"Hey ...we did it " blair said. "Finally, level 5". As he glared in the air looking all happy.

***** 

" Urgh level three still... When will I get to five?" Mia was thinking as she could see how big of a jump the abilities had given Rodney and Eiko.

They decided to head  back to their home and while on the way Blair spoke up

"Hey I don't know about you guys but I'm starving ...everything here seems to be unreal except dying and hunger". The others boast into a lour laughter on hearing his comment

"I think I speak for everyone when I say, let's go get some meat" Eiko said and they all laughed as they turned to go get some food.

" Your ability.. Never seen it before" Blair said looking at Rodney.

"Trust me ..I'm just as clueless as you are.. It did.." Rodney was about to say but paused to think of how it would sound if he told the others he unintentionally chose it.

" Did what?" . Blair asked..

"Oh never mind ...was just gonna say it did surprisingly well out there and sick control you got there Eiko" Rodney said looking off to the side to see that one person didn't seem all too happy.

"Hmmm..she must be sad she didn't get to do much...

I should probably stop talking about how great we all did leaving her out". Rodney thought.

" Hey...maybe mia would make us dinner..right Mia?"..Rodney said again..

"Uhm...not sure that's a good idea" mia replied with a red cheek which the others found odd.

" come on ..

how bad can it possibly get?".. Eiko chimed in to ask..

" well at most she burns down the house with us in it" Blair said and almost instantly began to run as Mia had pulled out her Fan chasing after him

"Save me!!" Blair yelled for help

" I'll kill you!!!" Mia said laughing as she chased after him

" she's never gonna catch up is she?" Rodney said to the one still left walking with him...

"Not a chance...Not even a tiny bit" Eiko said and they both laughed it out...
