The Playful Eagle 1: Running?! Part 1

"Psst, hey.. Jiwoo!" I heard faintly.

"hm.. ?" I said.

Slowly I was opening my eyes.

"Wake up dude..! We're in Russia, we've arrived at Moscow" Yong said.

"REALLY?!" I said and jumped up.

It took some time to go through the reception, meet up with everyone and get back on track. Eventually, after a lot of time during late hours, we got things done. I don't remember much from what Karl said since my mind was only set on one thing.

"We only have 2 days to spend here including today, we need to get our business done here A-S-A-P!" he said.

The time is 7pm, however in Moscow, a lot of stores are open, the city itself is very pretty. It's kind of like a mix of old but even modern architecture , some billboards here and there and tall buildings, a lot of them. Stores scattered around everywhere, almost reminds me of what I know of Seoul.

We all walked down to the square of the city.

"What's the plan for now? We only have 2 more days" Yon said.

"Alright then, I'll tell ya, but make sure everyone don't argue.

Everyone was quiet.

"Me, Yong and Tengan go to their place and give them a message we want to fight, and we get back here again" I said.

Everyone was shocked.

"B-but do you even know where they're located?" Karl asked hesitantly.

".. No" I said and chuckled.

"Dumbass!" Yon shouted and punched me on the head.

"Oww!!" I said in pain.

"How about we all go and go back" Karl said.

"Fine, good plan" Yong said.

"Hmph, let's just hope we can get this over with" Tengan said.

I glared at him but he glared back.

"Thing is, if we're walking fast, someone has to carry me or someth-" Karl said but I cut him off.

"We'll buy some sort of backpack and I'll carry you with it" I said.

"That was a quick response, and you don't even want a reason?" Karl asked.

"You're the most valuable person we have right now, having you in an disadvantage or in a bad place will make us all fall back" Yong responded.

We spent time in different stores until we found a thick, almost like a car seat belt. I had Yong and Tengan help me tie Karl on my back, it was just enough for him to not hit the ground. He gave me a phone with a location.

"Go there, trust me" he said.

"Let's go!!" I said and started walking.

We kept walking, and kept on walking even more until we arrived at a junkyard.

"Here?" I asked.

Karl looked around.

"Yes, it's here, someone must be here" he said and untied himself.

I picked up the belts and we went in. It didn't take ling until we saw a pretty suspicious looking guy, what made him look weird was..

..He had an eagle mask covering all of his head.

"HEY YOU!" I shouted.

He looked down as he was looking somewhere else. He took off his mask, light skinned with short brown hair.

"DAH?!" he shouted back. (Yes in Russian)

"Looks like he doesn't have spiritual energy" Yong said.

"My zdes' dlya vashego bossa!" Karl shouted (We're here for your boss! in Russian)

"Boss?! Eagle King.." he shouted and said in english.

"Come here, I have a message for him!" I shouted.

It seemed that he understood as he went down and walked towards me. He kept a pretty small distance between me and him, everyone else were standing behind me.

I took a big step with my left leg towards him, he looked confused. Then, a big turn with my torso I flew my arm on his face and hit him so hard he fell to the ground. A big red mark showed on his cheek. He looked at me with a glare.

"If he doesn't show, that will happen to him!" I said and walked back.

He walked away behind the cars and junk, everyone else seemed to follow me. Again I had Tengan and Yong help me tie Karl on my back and we later made our way to Moscow centre again.

Yon out of everyone looked the most scared, but I can't really blame her, we're in a foreign country only to defeat someone who is said to have the most powerful army.

"I'll take some time to look at some shops" Tengan said with a somewhat deep voice.

"Me too!!" Yon said and quickly ran away.

"We'll wait for everyone at the subway!" I shouted so both heard me.

Me, Karl and Yong walked down to the subway and waited on a sitting area there. The announcer spoke both Russian and English which I thought was neat.

Then, out of nowhere I felt my phone vibrate. I looked to see what it was, it was Yon calling. I looked over at the other two, they were busy on their phones.

"Yeah? You don-" I said before getting cut off.

There was a big silence. I looked around the subway too see that everyone were either looking up or looked confused.

"L-L-Listen to-to the a-announcer" Yon said with a trembling voice.

I took away the phone and listened carefully.

"I hope you can hear, Jiwoo!" it said.

"W-What.. What the?!" I shouted and stood up.

"What's happening Jiwoo?!" Karl said and put away his phone.

"Jiwoo and Karl, if you and your friends can hear, we the Eagles only have one small message to answer your message!" the voice kept talking.

Yong stood up as well.

"Game 1 will start soon now! Jiwoo..!" the announcer kept talking.

My eyes kept growing wider and wider.

".. You better be good at running!!" the announcer finished and a clicking sound played.
