Scythe, Sword And Steel

Chapter 27 - Surprise

After 6 more hours, Gusion woke up on the train. He saw the others preparing their armors and weapons, and packing up all they could find in the train wagon. Lesley was still sleeping, peaceful and quiet.

"Lesley, hey." Gusion tapped Lesley's shoulder. "Wake up!"

Lesley woke up and started preparing. Gusion was eating some jerky, which he took from the table.

"You want some?" Gusion asked.

"Sure." Lesley replied.

She took a piece of jerky from the plastic bag. As she ate it, she went wildly.

"Wow it tastes good! It's a bit spicy as well."

"You can have it."

After 5 minutes, the train finally stopped. They had reached the underground railway system, in Eruditio. They were so happy as they went down on the train. Gusion took a look around, and to his surprise, he saw Alucard with Harith on his motorcycle. Gusion didn't seem to be happy seeing them.

"Oh, h-hey Gusion! I know you're not happy what happened yesterday but..."

"What?" Gusion said. "You didn't follow our plan! You betrayed us! H-Harith, can you explain what you just did? I thought Fanny sent you back in the Empire?"

"Gus, calm down!" Harith said. "Just yesterday, we received a text message from Fanny. She told us to follow you guys here in Eruditio."

Lesley went near Gusion and held his hand tight. The others were just staring, not knowing what was going on.

"Then why'd you lock us Alu? You didn't seem to care when Saber and Hayabusa tried to arrest us."

"H-Hey! My plan didn't go as I seemed! If it wasn't for that gay**** sword guy, my plan would work."

"We had one plan Alu. Escape Antoinerei and get the hell in this city." Gusion said.

Suddenly, Claude and Dexter pointed their guns to Alucard. He was wearing a golden bling on his neck, and an army vest.

"Give Harith back to us or I'll shoot." he said.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, what's going on here?" Harith said. "Claude, this guy didn't abduct me! He's a friend."

"We don't trust other strangers you know. What if this guy acted as a spy? What if the entire S.A.B.E.R. army were following us the whole time?"

"What if, you could shut up and listen to me? Alucard said. "If I acted and attacked the other S.A.B.E.R. agents, everyone here would've been in prison. Look, we followed this train for straight 16 hours and now you guys would hold us back?"

Alucard didn't look like he was lying. His hand was gripping hard on his sword, ready to punch Claude on the face.

"He's right Claude." Harith said. "He isn't wearing the Legendary Obsidian Armor. He brought nothing else but his motorcycle..."

Claude went over to check Alucard's Tomahawk. He checked the seats, the handles, the engine, and even the wheels.

"What are you looking for?" Alucard asked. "Trying to steal random stuff from here? You won't get anything."

"No. I was checking if there was a tracking device or a bomb implanted here somewhere." he replied.

As the small argument continued, Layla fell on the ground all of a sudden. Gusion and Granger quickly ran over to her. She had collapsed from exhaustion. They put her arms on their shoulders, to help her.

"God! Layla! Are you okay?" Gusion asked.

"Yeah. I'm sleepy..." she replied.

"Well we have to keep going." Granger said.

"Come on, we need to find Yi-Sun Shin now. There's no time to waste."

And so they up the stairs, with Alucard and Harith, who was dragging along the Tomahawk. They need to find Yi-Sun Shin, and they will find the reason why they were sent here in the first place.
