Kian glared at Khione and Kicked the boy to the ground then walked towards Khione who kept calling his name, but even she felt something was off.
Khione's hands began to freeze as she prepared for anything.
"Kian you're scaring me"
Kian dashed over to her and slammed her to the ground.
He rose his hand to land the killing blow, but Kaede kicked him with all her strength.
He stumbled back "Kian, what the heck is wrong with you!"
He looked up at her with a labored sigh.
He tried to move towards her, but couldn't move. He looked down and his legs were frozen.
Selene held him down with her ability.
"KIAN WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?!"
Kian let out another sigh as he turned and saw 2 pairs of legs connect with his head.
The boy landed on his arm and shot up onto his feet.
May jumped in and tackled the boy biting him and thrashing him around.
Kaede and Khione along with Alya and Selene and Kazuya and Mimi tried to get Kian back.
Kaede looked at Kian and thought about the situation.
Kian was fighting the boy at first and before he did he said he'd kill the boy then... His eyes turned white almost as if, he were empty.
Kian, did you say that because you knew... In this... Mode you'd do anything to kill him. You attacked Khione because in this mode for some reason you kill anything that gets in your way or... Wait, Khione wasn't in your way.
Kaede thought back to when Khione threw the icicle.
You saw as a threat, something you had to destroy to live. One goal and the undying thought of survival.
"EVERYONE! Kian is in some kind of mode where he doesn't see us anymore, instead he sees threats to his very life. The only way to stop him... Is to get away."
Khione looked at her "But the boy might-"
"It's the only way! Plus he can't kill him, we'll just aid if anything bad happens or if extras come. Everyone understand?"
They all nodded and ran away hiding behind debris.
Kian saw this and because of their retreat they weren't threats anymore, but the boy was forever a threat.
Kian glared at the boy who ran and dropkicked him out of the ice.
Kian was now free. Both looked at each other.
The boy glared at Kaede then back at Kian and smirked.
Kian dashed forward, but the boy grabbed Kian's arm and twisted his whole body making Kian's arm dislocated.
Then he ran up to Kaede and looked her dead in the eye face to face.
"You are an Ignari, yet you send out this fool to fight me? Pathetic."
He punched Khione who began approaching him, then grabbed Selene and choked her "If you don't show me more I'll-"
Kian slammed his fist... Into the boy's palm?
The boy expected it and broke Kian's fist, then Kian slammed his head into Selene's.
May charged at the boy along with Kazuya, but he ducked and grabbed a spear pushing it into May's side and slamming her down.
He pulled out the spear and swung it cutting Kazuya's cheek then a ton of swords fell from the sky.
The boy jumped back, but one dug into his back.
He then threw his spear into Kian's heart and looked at Kaede again.
She looked at him as well and focused on him.
His army they seemed mindless... Almost as if under someone's control. What if he did that. What if there's some way an Ignari can influence the people around them... To fight with no emotion or with all emotion.
No wonder he keeps saying I'm below, I don't even know half of what I'm capable of.
She looked at Kian who had took the spear out of his chest and smiled.
Out of everyone here, I know I can beat you. Not only that, I know you can fight alongside me better than anyone else here.
She grabbed the spear and cut Kian's face everyone gasped "COME AND GET ME SCARDEY CAT!"
Kian reached out, so she ran as fast as she could towards the Ignari boy who was preparing for her.
Then she turned and wrapped her arms around Kian and slammed him right in front of the boy.
Kian looked up and saw his goal.
Kaede was no longer a threat.
She let out a snicker as Kian began fighting the boy.
She joined in. She grabbed the boy's arms and held them as Kian struck the boy over and over.
The boy kicked Kaede and turned towards her only for a Roundhouse kick to connect with his face.
He turned at Kian and jumped up to kick him, but was shoved by Kaede into Kian.
Kian pounded the boys face in, but soon was thrown off only for Kaede to come in and grab the boy's neck and squeeze.
He grabbed her neck as well and gripped tightly.
But then his feet began to get cold, he looked down and his legs were beginning to freeze.
He looked into Kaede's eyes and grunted before grabbing her and slamming his Head into hers.
Then he broke free of the ice.
Kian grabbed him, but the boy slammed his fist into Kian's head yelling at the top of his lungs as someone scratched him. Mimi
Then something blew him back. Selene
They all started ganging up on him making sure to avoid Kian though.
The boy couldn't fight each of them at once, especially since a emotionless monster was fighting him as well, so he roared sending a chill down their spines and jumped far away.
The first battle had ended
Kian however wasn't in his normal state. He began walking in the direction of the boy, but Selene used her telepathy to hold him down.
Kaede walked up to him and whispered in his ear.
He's gone Kian, your goal is done he has retreated and you have won.
His eyes began to change from white to brown flickering between the colors.
Before he fell to the ground.
***
When Kian woke up he was next to Kaede who was asleep.
He had no memory of how he got here or of what happened.
Kaede looked like she had been through something though so he rubbed her scar on her cheek.
Then he got up and went outside. The camp was packed except the tents where everyone was.
It was early morning, the air was chilly. The ground had blood and dust, their was graves along the way through the camp.
All Kian could hope is that he wasn't the cause of some. He sat near one.
The he heard footsteps, it was Selene. "Your up early."
"What happened?"
She looked around "Kaede told us to pack up, were going to the slave center."
"For what?"
"Khione wants to free the slaves there. Then we move on from there."
"Selene?"
"Yeah?"
"Did I kill anyone?"
Selene paused for a moment, then smiled "No, actually you did the opposite."
Kian looked at her and smiled too "That's good news. Selene can ask you one more question?"
"You can ask me as many as you want were friends after all."
...
"I came back this time, but if I don't next time... I want you to kill me until I do."
