Chapter 262: Wyper`s Anger

Ben, Alvida, Zala and Raki headed down to the Third Floor. "Raki, what do you want to show us?" Zala asked. She knew she was pretty much part of the crew but she did not like secrecy. 

Raki stayed silent. "Raki, I know that you don't fully trust us, however you are part of the crew now," Alvida stated.

"She is right, you are one of us now," Ben confirmed. 

"I thought we had a deal," Raki tried to say however she knew they were right, she was being rude to them. Although Ben did pretty much kidnap her, he did save her at the same time. THe rest of the girls were nothing but nice to her, they told their secrets, their adventures, their struggles and fights, to strangers.It was stupid, she thought.

"He has been destroying my home, we are waging a war against him, I want to help, I want to help my people," Raki finally said. She sighed in relief. 

"Ben has helped us out," Zala said. She added, "Like I said, I used to work for an evil organisation but Ben showed me the light." She smiled at him. 

"The light in many ways,"Alvida teased. She winked at Ben. 

Raki saw this and sighed. "There is nothing to show but I would like to see Wyper, Kamakiri, Braham and Asia," Raki replied.

"Let's go and see them," Alvida said. 

"Okay, sounds okay," Zala said. She was still a bit unsure however she trusted Ben and Raki. 

"Raki, we have your back," Ben said. They approached Lexie again. Alvida walked up the open doors. She sat in the driver seat. 

Ben sat in the gunner seat. Raki sat next to him and Zala sat behind. "You can sit next to Ben," Zala said. 

"My love, won't eat you," Alvida said.

Alcida pressed a button and the door closed. She then pressed another open and Miss Love Duck ramp slowly descended down. The Miss Love Duck came to a stop as the ramp started to move. The ramp went down. "Hang on," Alvida remarked. 

"Alvida, how many times, have you driven Lexie?" Ben asked.

"My love, this will be my first time by myself," Alvida replied. She pushed the throttle down and Lexie rocketed off.Lexie hit the sky water and caused a splash. Alvida steered her towards the land and launched it in. Raki grabbed Ben`s hand.

"Careful," Ben remarked. He looked through the monitor and saw the Miss Love Duck retracting the ramp.

"Fast and daring, I like it," Zala commented. 

"We need to make pace," Alvida said. She smiled. 

"I know Lexie is strong but be careful," Ben said again. He noticed Raki holding his hand. She held it tight as Lexie went over a bump. Alvida moved with pace across the forest. The dense forest, adorned with towering trees, created a captivating scene of natural splendour. The sunlight filtered through the thick canopy, casting a dappled glow on the lush vegetation below. 

A thunderous explosion reverberated through the air, sending shockwaves that jolted their senses. The deafening noise echoed in the background. There was another explosion. Raki looked nervous. 

Ben held her hand. "Don't worry, we will get there and it will be okay," Ben assured her. 

"I hope so," Raki thought. Her brows furrowed with anxiety as her gaze fixated on a distant point, as if searching for reassurance. She looked at Ben who was smiling, she smiled back. 

There was another series of explosions around them. "We are getting closer," Alvida remarked. 

"I wonder who is behind it?" Zala commented.

At that moment an explosion hit them. The tank rocked to the side slightly. The tracks went into the air for a second and then came down. 

"Is everyone okay?" Ben asked.

"We are fine my love," Alvida said. 

Ben grabbed the joysticks and moved the turret around. He attempted to locate the source of the attack. The turret rotated around until it found a figure. Ben zoomed in and saw Wyper holding a bazooka at them.

Wyper had an annoyed look. "Wyper," Raki said. She added, "Let me out,I can talk to him." 

"Okay," Ben agreed. He thought he would see how this would play out. Wyper looked angry. 

"He hit Lexie," Zala remarked.

"Lexie is strong but I don't like it either," Alvida agreed.

"I apologise for this," Raki quickly said. 

"Let's see what he has to say," Ben said.

Alvida opened the door. Ben, Raki, Zala and Alvida walked out. They saw Wyper pointing a bazooka at them. 

"Wyper, they are friendly," Raki said.

"Raki, what are you doing with them?" Wyper asked. He had not seen her since the last battle. She looked okay. 

"Ben saved me," Raki replied.

"The blue ocean people," Wyper replied.

"You shot at Lexie," Alvida said. She looked and there was no damage at all, not even a scratch. She held her mace at him. 

"Alvida, please, he's Raki's friend," Ben reassured, attempting to quell the rising tension.

"Alright, my love," Alvida conceded, reluctantly lowering her mace.

Wyper, wearing a displeased expression, confronted Raki, accusingly remarking, "You left us for him."

Raki, unfazed, responded, "No, I brought help."

"Liar!" Wyper exclaimed, frustration evident as he brandished a bazooka.

"You're the reason for all of this," Wyper declared, his anger palpable. "I told you to stay away, you will pay." Wyper said as he fired his bazooka. A cannon left the barrel and headed towards Ben. 

Zala was quick to move. She put her hand forward. Her palm was open. Wyper eyebrow moved. He saw a dial. Ben quickly grabbed Alvida and Raki and transformed into his hybrid form. He pushed them both to his chest as a precaution. 

The cannonball impacted her Impact Dial and exploded. There was a large explosion and black smoke was emitted however the energy was absorbed into the Impact Dial. 

As the smoke cleared, Zala smiled. "This is powerful," Zala remarked. She looked at her palm which had the dial. 

Ben let the girls go."You," Raki pouted. She looked embarrassed.

"My love as your Captain was doing his duty to protect his crew," Alvida remarked. She kissed his cheek. 

Raki looked at the scene and looked flushed.

Wyper was even more annoyed. "So you join him like this," Wyper said. 

"You have lost your way," Wyper added. He thought about all the sacrifices they made, he thought about Enel and Raki fooling around at this time. He looked at Ben and thought about Enel. His form looked different. 

"You attack your friends, my love and my sisters," Alvida said as she held Seraphina and jumped toward Wyper. Alvida swung her mace. Wyper jumped away. Alvida swung down and broke the branch. She jumped back. 

"Wyper, we are not your enemy," Ben said. He was trying to reason with him. 

"You all are," Wyper shouted. He aimed the bazooka at the group again.

"But," Raki tried to say. 

"Asia will be ashamed of you," Wyper remarked.

Raki wondered why he was acting like this. She thought that hurt. Asia looked up to her. Ben thought he crossed the line. "We will have to beat some reason into you," Ben said. He could see Raki upset. He did not like that. Raki looked down on the ground. 

Ben pulled her into a hug. "I will be there for you," he declared. He glared at Wyper. 

Zala and Alvida looked at Wyper. At that moment, they heard another voice, "Look who is here." He added, "Eisen Whip," Ohm said as he unleashed a powerful whip-like attack from his sword, toward Wyper. Wyper dodged the attack by the skin of his teeth. Ben and the girls looked at a large dog and a man on top wearing glasses. There were other soldiers nearby. 

"More of them," Zala remarked. 

"Ohm," Ben said. 

"So you know me, Enel has given us permission to wipe you all out," Ohm replied. He showed his sword. 

"Eisen Whip," Ohm said again as he unleashed a powerful whip toward Ben. Alvida jumped in the way and used Seraphina to block the attack. Ohm retracted his sword. He looked at Alvida. 

"You will all die," Ohm repeated. 

"You both can fight," Wyper said as he took off. He did not want to waste his time and let his two enemies fight.

Raki looked as Wyper left her. She looked at Ben and saw hope. "Ben, Captain please," she said in tears. She thought Wyper was a bit arrogant at times but he would never betray, so why did he leave her. However, she saw Ben. Her heart skipped a beat. 

Ben held her and hugged her. He thought Wyper was acting a bit strange however he was aware that he was resentful towards blue sea people as he thought we were going to take his home away however why was he hostile towards Raki. He thought that does not matter, he made Raki upset, his girl. "I will do everything to," Ben declared. He looked at Ohm and the two dozen Divine Soldiers and the large dog. 

"Let's take them all down," Ben stated. Her heart skipped a beat again.
