CHAPTER 2

A GUY NAMED XAVIER

.....

On impact, a dark cloud formed.

"Wrong move". He heard from the cloud.

Then one piece emerged from the cloud and flew past John. "It shall be your last as well," One Piece said as he blasted Joel with a wind wave. Unlike Joher, he couldn't reform his armpads because his arms were mildly burned. The hit knocked him off his feet and back a few meters.

.....

He got up quickly, and he formed the rock wall behind him as quickly as he could. But it was too late. The fire blasted through the wall and knocked him back further in the other direction.

"We're going to finish you off right here, right now, so one piece doesn't have to suffer when taking the test on Friday.". A 6-piece t-shirt was pocketed with Jo's rock pellets. Luckily for his twin and himself, he was blessed with vulnerability skills.

Joher was down and tired. Fighting against both pieces at the same time was difficult. They worked well as a team, synchronized, and planned. Earlier, he was excited at the thought of picking up one piece the next day. But now the tables had turned on him instead.

Six pieces were coming at him, so he quickly formed a rock dome. Six-piece began blasting the dome with his flames, increasing the heat higher and higher with rage. The temperature in the dome was rising, and Joher was sweating profusely.

6-piece stopped. One piece flew back in their direction, up into the sky, and came down with a forceful single blast of wind.

The dome broke on Joher. He wasn't moving. I was barely breathing either. Six-piece raised a flame-forged serrated dagger over him.

"Look..." one piece tapped six pieces and pointed to the horizon.

People were running in their direction.

"Let's go; we've done enough.".

They ran away, leaving Johar beaten and bruised.

Marco had stopped at the ruins of Jo's dome. He got down and tearfully began to take him out of the rubble. He had brought along some other speed-skilled friends of his. The boys had gone to chase down the pieces while the girls helped take him out.

THE PAST'S THE PAST

Earlier today, Marco had gone to the school infirmary to visit Joher. He was still in a coma. Marco vowed to him that he would take revenge.

"Victor will pay for what he and the pieces did to you. I'll make sure of that."

And that's just what he did, but not in the way he planned for it. Beating him unconsciously with the help of a raging forge weapon wasn't as satisfying.

What ticked him off was the fact that they pinned one piece against another guy he beat and passed the test. Six Piece had also passed his test. Victor had only sustained minor injuries, while Joher had sustained lots of mild burns and bruises.

It's been a fortnight since he'd escaped, and Xavier had just landed on the human nation about three days ago.

Xavier remembered visiting the human nation as a child. He remembers he'd been here before, but not for how long he stayed or for what reasons he'd left. How many friends did he make, or what other human family had he gotten to know?

All he knows is that once they were here, then they were back in the Mythical Beast Nation, where they lived the rest of their lives hiding in a castle away from the inhabitants of the land they were on—people who did not want them there.

Everybody made wrong choices, but Xavier could not understand his mother's wishes to leave her clan and her family's home for such a life.

Now he was older and wiser, dealing with the consequences of her actions; she wasn't around to answer him for her mistakes. She wasn't around to leave his bothered mind about the nerve-wracking question.

Their previous mother used to tell him stories of their clans, their culture, their people, and how they would all one day live to be with the humans, including Count Julio. He loved the idea as a child. How ironic now!

Now he was finally here with his own free will, curious to witness everything he heard about humans. He couldn't. It was like, as soon as free will was given, peace and safety were taken, he randomly thought. For now, he was on the run. No time for sightseeing, no time for exploring, no time.

FIRST ENCOUNTERS

Xavier had been trying to keep a low profile, so he camped out in the woods to not draw any attention to himself. He knew very well that his father's school niece was everywhere, searching for him in every nook and cranny, leaving no stone unturned.

He'd already run. I went into a few of them in the last couple of weeks and was utterly exhausted. Roaming in the woods, he decided to take a short break. He stopped and lay in the grass amongst the trees, closing his eyes.

Xavier jumped up and looked behind him. Some rustling leaves gave him a start. "Speak of the devil. "

Lo and behold, before Xavier stood a vampire, ready to kill him and be rewarded. Count Julio.

"Lucky for you, I am no devil. Just a sole vampire sent on the bounty hunt, and now you are mine."

"Well, you haven't caught me yet, and I have already taken down three of his so-called bounty hunters," he air-quoted. "I can deal with one more. "

"Coming from you, who would have heard me from over a mile away, if you change your powers and senses, it will be better. Also, this fight would have been a lot fairer. "

"What fight? All I sense is an incoming beatdown. "

"Ha." He chuckled. "Well, I can't waste any more time. I have a task to do, so the quicker the better.". After he was talking, He sped forward and punched Xavier in the gut. He got knocked back far and slammed his back into a tree.

out of savior mode. "What's up with these suckers? The constant punches in the gut and slamming my back against something hard. What is it? Vampire Martial Arts 101." He thought to himself. Xavier was sure that by now his sore back had turned into a broken vertebra.

He thought he could stall the big mouth a little while longer. To formulate a quick plan to get out of the mess.

Are you always spineless? And continue to think about how he felt. The grass behind him for a stick "Even in daylight, under the partial cover of this canopy of trees, I have been slightly weakened, yet still."

"Bingo." Xavier thoughts. Heat frowned. That's weak, and luckily for him, it's hard-appointed. "Yeah, dude." He bellowed.

"How long is this going to take?" He yelled next.

"I'm going to die of boredom."

The vampire came closer, then Xavier got up. And thrust the stick for his chest. The guy grabbed his arm.

"Nice try," he quipped, and he punched Xavier through the tree into another.

"All right," Xavier said, getting up on his feet.

"I'm not going to lose to this guy. I won't. "

Suddenly, an Echo Howler flew to the guy's side and morphed into a female vampire. "Two of them, he thought.

"I'm bringing him. I didn't call for backup," the male said.
