My Angel system



The sky in Asaka was getting darker and darker and the people were starting to get really worried.

Usually, by this time people would be going about their daily activities but right now everyone was locked up inside their homes because the king just declared a lockdown.

They thought it was just a lockdown until they started getting visited by soldiers who randomly searched their homes and threw things around like the owners of the home weren't even there.

They were looking for a group of people they were looking for the people who just escaped the castle but things weren't going quite well with their search.

While the guards were busy causing chaos in the homes of the people in the kingdom, Michael, Tauriel, Matilda, Jude, and his parents had all escaped into the forest.

Jude knew there was no point hiding in the home of anyone inside the kingdom as they would be found almost immediately, so this was the safest option among their only two options.

They couldn't stay in the open though so Tauriel had to take them to the shelter Jude helped them make when they had to stay away from the kingdom.

Leaving the world immediately was what they would have done if the portal was open but now they had to wait for it to open for them to be able to leave the world.

Everyone was inside the shelter now with Michael resting near the entrance with some kind of blaster in his hand.

"I'm really glad I brought this along." He said before placing his hand on the mouth of the blaster.

"Who would have thought that purple lightning was his weakness," Jude mumbled before placing his hand on the blade Michael gave him. "This could have gone wrong in a lot of ways if you didn't come with us."

"That's the reason why people stick together."

Felix and Maya just didn't know what to say after experiencing all that in there and as for Matilda, little grunts could be heard in the back coming from her as Tauriel was busy treating her wounds with some herbs she picked on the way.

"Hey, try to be a bit a bit quiet, if you get too loud, he'll find out that we're here and then we'll be stuck in another tough situation." The she-elf advised before dipping her hand into a bowl of what seemed to be the liquid she squeezed out from the leaves and herb.

"Okay, I'll try to keep it down," Matilda said before latching onto her lower lip with her teeth and keeping it that way.

"Good," Tauriel said with a nod.

After observing everyone for a while, Jude turned his gaze to Michael who happened to be going through some stuff in his arsenal.

"So, when are we going to move?" The young knight asked.

"Five minutes before the portal opens and just to eliminate any mistakes, I have my nanobots stationed in the area to inform me as soon as it opens, I am not taking any chances here," Michael explained.

"You really have everything thought out."

"This is a life or death situation so yeah, I don't take chances in these kinds of situations, you all should brace yourself, I have a feeling we won't be leaving this place easily."

Back at the Phoenix Academy, the fight between Pearl and Michael was still going on, but at this point, it felt like Pearl was just playing with him.

The strikes from the water balls floating above her were being fired toward him and since he had exhausted all his ice cell points, all he could do was run around inside the arena trying to avoid the attacks.

She could have rapidly fired him out of the arena a long time ago but all she was doing was single shots which he was finding quite difficult to avoid.

"Yeah, she's just toying with him," Chloe said after watching Michael running around trying to avoid the water bullets for a while.

"Yeah, I can see that," Luis said.

While Luis and Chloe shared their thoughts from time to time, Tania was still trying to find her brother where she saw him yesterday with Tauriel and Tuchel, Ace seemed to be immersed in the fight and Dylan just seemed to be lost in his thoughts.

Michael was starting to get tired now and that was quite obvious with how heavily he was breathing.

With his legs slowly running out of gas he had to stop even though two water bullets were coming toward him at that time.

He seemed to have recovered some ice cell points at that time, and out of instinct, he used it to make some kind of kind of shield as he formed an X with both of his hands to block the attacks that were coming from both sides.

He knew his shield wasn't really going to do anything but he had to try.

Just like previously, the water bullets pierced through his shield which was obviously weaker than the one he made earlier, and sent him flying backwards until he crashed at the edge of the arena.

He was lying near the edge of the arena now and it was quite a miracle that he was still conscious after those hits, and when he opened his eyes, he found Pearl standing over him with two of her fingers pointing toward him.

"I guess I was never a match for you to begin with." He said before letting out a deep sigh.

"Don't worry you'll get there." She empathized. "It was really fun doing this with you and sorry about this."

She was in a similar situation last year so she understood quite well how he felt.

After doing that, she shot out a water bullet from her hand which hit him on the head, and did the final job of knocking him out.

"Alright, it looks like we have a winner." The sergeant announced. "Pearl Reeves from Crockel Academy moves over to the next round as Michael Jonal of Tron Ville Academy is eliminated. That's two students from Crockel Academy in round two."

"You know I was impressed when the first-year student won but I knew Pearl was going to win this match before it started, for an academy that gets termed the worst, you have pretty strong students." Chloe expressed.

"Good job, pearl."

Tammy had to give his best friend a high five as soon as she returned to where they were standing.

"Thanks, Tam."

"But you know you didn't really have to drag the fight out like that, you didn't even have to use those balls, that was a waste of your water cell points." She criticized.

"I….should have expected this," Pearl said before quickly putting her head down. "Hey, don't worry, the second round won't be starting soon, we don't even know if it will be happening today, and even if it does, they would all be recovered before the next fights are over."

"I know, but still, you were wasteful and wasted a lot of time, work on that." She said before turning away from her.

The spinning wheel on the screen was set in motion again and as soon as it stopped, the sergeant had to announce the names of the next fighters.

"Okay, the next fight will be Blaze Damon of Phoenix Academy versus Albert Shaw of Eukerion Academy." The sergeant announced.

"Uh oh," Chloe muttered in concern as soon as she saw that match up.

Just hearing the name Blaze Damon was enough to pique Luis's interest, if this was really the person that knocked Tammy out last year then he had to see what made him special.

He couldn't care less about the other student but everyone in the stadium who were also here last year knew that this matchup was quite unfair but there was nothing that could be done about it, it was the wheel that made the choice.

Everything was quite peaceful in the cave where the group were still hiding, Matilda seemed to have slept off on Tauriel's legs and Maya seemed to have done the same on her husband's shoulder.

The only ones awake were Michael, Jude, Felix, and Tauriel, in a situation like this, that desire to sleep was non-existent.

Michael was keeping track of their surrounding with his nanobots and while he was doing that, he got read of something suspicious.

"Jude." He called with his gaze still on his watch.

"Yes."

"Tell everyone to get up, we need to leave here now."

"What's happening?" The young knight asked.

"They're surrounding us, tell everyone to get up now." He was trying his best to stay calm.

All it needed was a little tap to wake the two who were asleep.

Matilda couldn't walk properly so Tauriel had to help her move.

"Keep quiet everyone, we have to leave here quietly, the portal isn't open yet but we can find somewhere else to take refuge," Michael explained as he made his way out first.

That was all he needed to answer all the questions.

He led them all outside as quietly as he could knowing for a fact that they were already surrounded.

Just as they all exited the cave, the soldiers had already gotten close enough with their blades and torches.

"Did you really think you could escape me?" Roy's voice echoed around them and after that, the soldiers made way for him to reveal himself.
