Prison Break

It was night. The cool night air was blowing through the area. For nighttime, it was proper temperature. No such thing as Global Warming here. Lying on one of the branches against the giant trunk was a teenager, Jason LaHote. He seemed to be asleep. Sitting in his lap, lying so that she had her head reading between his chest and stomach, as the girl he'd rescued not too long ago, Wendy Marvell. The two were like older brother and sister, and Jason was hellbent on keeping his new companion safe. They were at peace right now. What could ruin this?

...

...*RUMBLE*

The pitter-patter of footsteps could be heard throughout the area; The Rune Knights, the eastern wing of the Magic Council are feared for their ferocious prowess in battle. However, for the Knights to attack around this place was something out of the ordinary.

Screams were heard throughout the areas, as the Knights slaughtered the townspeople. It turned out that after the Grand Magic Games, the Magic Council had become more and more corrupt- it wasn't a fair ruling system now; it was a corrupt and disgusting organization.

A trio of knights quickly noticed the two- and suddenly, they began to advance forward. They realized who this little girl was- the Sky Sorceress. With her Sky Dragon Slayer Magic under the control of the Magic Council, almost anything could be possible.

Jason, however, was not a sound sleeper. He stirred, looking down at the group below. Earthland's Magic Council...he sighed, and gently shook Wendy awake. "Climb higher. Now." He ordered, before jumping down from the tree, landing in the center of the rune knights. His cleaver was already drawn. "Tell me what you're here for."

It seemed that this person was...different. No magical aura eminating from him; no nothing. Thus, he was basically harmless, right? The knight at the center advanced forward with an unflinching walk, before glancing down at Jason. His gritted teeth could be seen through the mesh of his full-head helmet. Of course, he had something planned. A faint magical aura was released from the knight as he questioned sternly, "...The person who we're searching for is in your protection, right?"

He glanced away. "...Some time ago, we heard of rumours about a sole scientist managing to perform the impossible and create life. ... If that is case, it is our duty to take the results back and experiment further. The safety of Fiore will benefit from our results."

Without a word, Jason swung his giant cleaver down, cutting the man straight in half, perfect symmetry. He pulled the blade out, the blood gleaming in the moonlight. He raised his hand. "Come at me together. Or make your escape."
