Chapter 3- I Meet Lots of New People

The Tolu snapped it's head around creepily and caught the blade of the newly introduced ally in it's mouth.

" Creepy basterd!"

This new ally was a women. I was only able to tell due to her slightly feminine voice and her. . . Chest. . . Other than those two rather obvious factors, she looked rather masculine. Her hair was cut short, her bangs hanging in front of her eyes and the back half doesn't go past the neck. Her arms were muscular, same with her legs. She was wearing a sleeveless black top with what seemed to be black skinny jeans with a belt around the waste.

After the Tolu caught her curved blade in it's mouth. She grabbed it's handle with two hands and yanked it out of it's mouth as hard as she could causing that blue blood to shoot out along with some teeth.

" Ah!" the hell. . . Next to me. A girl who wasn't here a moment ago, missing two arms. . . She must be that other women's. . . Tool. She cried out in pain when the women's blade was ripped from the Tolu's mouth. . . Why is she missing two arms?

The Tolu roared in pain as blood spilled from it's mouth onto the floor. As it did Liza attacked from behind thrusting at it's center back with her own sword. Still not fast enough. The Tolu, even when wounded, flipped over the blade and Liza landing behind her.

It's wide mouth aloud for a perfect view of the missing teeth that the women had ripped out slowly reforming in their places with the same jagged edges. It brought it's arm back as if to go for an attack, but right is it's arm ready to unleash the punch it stopped and looked to the sky.

The Ground shook as a boy no older than me maybe younger came falling from the sky. His foot landing dead on the Tolu's face. The ground underneath the Tolu cracked from the force of the boy. Although, the boy could be in trouble.

Before he could launch of the face of the Tolu. His foot was grabbed tightly stopping him from moving. The boy though simply smiled. He twisted his leg in a way that should have broken it but instead it slid across its' face like he was skating on ice. His other foot spun around and connected with the Tolu causing it to crash to the ground letting go of his foot.

As the boy jumped away I saw water follow from were his foot was caught. . . He used it to allow his foot to move without breaking it. But where the hell did he get water from. . . Liza was able to form rose pedals from her hand so I guess maybe he does the same with water.

He landed next to Liza and the other women in a line. They all looked at each other, the boy had a soft smile and Liza had the same. The other women though had a stern look about her.

" The whole crews here huh." Liza said. The other women ignored her and shot a mean look to the boy who was smiling innocently at them both.

" You need to keep up with me. Xavier."

" I know I know, I'm sorry Mina." Xavier looked at Mina sincerely and apologetically desperately looking for forgiveness.

" Be better. You keep slowing me down. If you were faster I would have killed this thing."

Xavier let out one more sorrow " Sorry." Mina didn't respond and returned her attention to the Tolu which was rising to it's feet. It's jaw open like a snake ready to swallow them whole

" So." Liza began to speak. " What grade would you say this thing is?"

" Grade A." Xavier responded quickly. " It's looks tell me it's at least a grade B but it has some intelligence, trying to hold my foot down is something only a grade A would think of." 

" As knowledgeable as ever Xavier." A smirk crossed his face. "Great. My second ever Tolu is grade A."

" You've fought one already?" Xavier asked

" Yea, their was a low grade one earlier that I killed quickly. I think it lead to the birth of this one."

" Can you two tape your mouths shut." Mina spoke angerly and stepped out in front of both of them. " Your distracting me." Xavier and Liza both looked at each other with sly smiles.

" What ever you say Mina." Xavier said. Liza and him both joined at Mina side awaiting the Tolu's charge.

I heard the clanging of weapons and roars from the Tolu as they battled. I though had turned my attention to the women next to me. Who was making sounds of discomfort next to me. She was missing both arms and was wearing a blue colored shirt and blue jeans. Her hair was in a pony tail at the top of her head and she was on her two knees on the ground. She was clenching her teeth together. I crouched down next to her placing my hand on her shoulder.

" Hey. What's wrong." She looked up at me. She opened her lips for a second before biting down again due to some pain. A sound of smothered pain followed. Meeting my eyes aging she spoke.

" She's being to rough. . . Again." I looked at her confused.

" What do you mean?"

" If she keeps this up. I lose my other arm to." I looked at her still confused. Then an idea entered my head. A possible answer I really hope isn't true but it seems so obvious it has to be.

I was about to ask her when the sounds of fierce fighting drew my attention. Liza went for a sweep with her sword but the Tolu leaped over it landing in front of Mina. Her sword bounced of the Tolu who parried with it's bare hand. Mina followed with a kick nocking it off balance.

Xavier came from the side swinging his sword for the Tolu but it never reached it's true target. The Tolu caught it with it's bare hand squeezing it tightly. Water then shot from the blade like arrows piercing its' hand and striking its' face. The Tolu stumbled backwards as Xavier dashed in landing a heal kick on its' face.

The force sent the Tolu flying. . . STRAIGHT FOR ME AND THIS GIRL! I stretched my right hand out and pushed her to the ground falling on top of her with my own body. I felt the wind from the Tolu as it flew past me crashing into the school buildings wall causing part of it to fall.

" You okay." I asked the girl. She was looking up at me obviously shook. I rose to one knee and looked at Liza. " Were okay!" I yelled out.

Liza who face looked concerned, relaxed back into her combat ready one. . . Suddenly her eyes widened and and she picked up the speed. " Cash Look Out!"

" Huh."

I suddenly felt like I was in immediate danger. Behind me from where the Tolu flew. I turned to find the Tolu with it's fist approaching quickly only inches from my face.
