Chapter 2: Friend or Foe
?Well, when? when you put it that way??
?Exactly, someone planned this,? Ragnarok said quietly, ?And it would have to be someone incredibly smart. They knew exactly where we?d be and had the guy go on a march that passed us by.?
Then Ken had his most intelligent thought yet. ?Is this guy against us or on our side??
?Good question.? Ragnarok was absorbed in thought, and then he realized what he had said. ?Wait a minute, you had a good question. Wow, that?s miraculous.? Ragnarok tapped the bracelet and shrunk down into Ryu. ?I only know two people who would need to tell me that they are alive. One of them was a god of shadows, the other is Sheeva.?
?Sheeva? Oh yeah, that one guy who fell for the stupid joke and got murdered on the?? Ken was interrupted.
?Listen, do you actually want to die?? asked Ryu.
Ken replied nervously as he remembered that Sheeva had been Ryu?s best friend, ?No, uh, why do you ask??
?Because if you keep talking that way I can guarantee you that you will.?
Ken felt sorry for saying that. ?I?m so sorry, I forgot all about you two being??
?Save it. What do you think we should do?? asked Ryu as he peered around the corner.
?Well, we should probably find out who sent the message.?
Ryu slapped his forehead. ?What a genius, do you really think so?? Ken looked embarrassed. ?Because I thought we?d just go home and quit right now.?
?Why do you have to be such an *******?? asked Ken.
?Why don?t you try watching your best friend die twice, then finally saving him only to have him killed again? Once you?ve done that, if you?re not a little angry, I?ll stop yelling at you!?
Ken didn?t know what to say, but he was done being laughed at. He was acting off today because he was in the presence of a god, normally he was pretty smart.
?Let?s get a move on, Ryu,? said Ken as he stood up from the dead Apprentice and dropped the computer chip in Ryu?s pocket.
?Where exactly do you think we?re going?? demanded Ryu.
?Well, shouldn?t we follow the D.A.s?? Ryu looked confused, so Ken added, ?Death App....?
?I know what you meant,? interrupted Ryu, ?I?m just a little impressed that you know what to do.?
?Thank you? I think,? replied Ken.
They both snuck along the walls behind the D.A.s, trying to find out where they were going.
Ken stuck his arm out to stop Ryu and whispered, ?Shh, this is a trap.?
?What?? whispered Ryu.
?Think about it. The heard me yell at you earlier and they just kept going. Why is that??
?Because they are stupid. And you my friend, are paranoid.? Ryu kept going. After he passes a certain point, a D.A. jumped out from a hole in the wall with an energy blast over it?s head, ready to strike Ryu.
Ken sprung into action. ?Ryu, watch out!? he shouted as he ran up and bicycle kicked the D.A. into the air. As it came down, he yelled, ?Concussion Kick.? He flew at it so fast his foot set on fire and he kicked it in half. He landed swiftly on his feet.
Ryu couldn?t believe his eyes. ?That was amazing, Ken.?
?Thanks, but I don?t think this is the right time,? said a wide-eyed Ken, pointing behind Ryu who had turned around to watch Ken.
When he turned back, he saw the reason Ken looked so worried. All of the D.A.s had come back and were staring at Ken and Ryu.
Ken was definitely not used to this kind of situation, but Ryu was. So he clicked his bracelet and unleashed Ragnarok.
Ken noticed and decided Ragnarok probably wouldn?t need help, but Ken wasn?t about to let Ragnarok have all the fun.
Then, Ragnarok Mega Cypress Charged. The power that generated alone was enough to destroy the first row of D.A.s.
Ken rushed forward and jump kicked a couple of them in their faces, knocking them backwards into a few of their friends. Ken then put his hands together in perfect meditation stance and formed an energy ball. ?Primal Blast!? He shot the attack into the oncoming D.A.s, killing a large group of them.
Ragnarok was truly impressed, but he had had enough of standing still. ?Cypress Dash!? He sprinted through all of them who were in his way. He went through quite a few people, but with ten years of extra training under his belt, he wasn?t even tired. Most of the D.A.s that he hit collapsed and died, but a few stayed standing to his amazement.
?Plasma Flash!? yelled Ken as he threw a bright energy disk which sawed its way through many D.A.s before it faded.
?This is pretty fun!? yelled Ragnarok as he fired a volley of Prism Pulses into the masses of D.A.s. He looked over to check on Ken and saw that he was being surrounded. ?You need any help??
?Nope, I got it under control. Concussion Wave!? A burst of energy spread from Ken?s body which eliminated those who were near him.
Ragnarok yelled over the screaming of the D.A.s, ?I have to admit, you are an impressive fighter, Ken.?
?Thanks.? He was too preoccupied to say anything else, as he smashed too of the D.A.s? heads together.
Ragnarok flew over to fend off one that was about to attack Ken from behind, so Ragnarok kicked its head clean off.
Ken said, ?You are right, this does get old fast.? He juggled a small black ball of energy in his hands.
?What the hell is that??
?Just? duck.?
Ragnarok thought it was a joke until the ball tripled in size and Ken yelled, ?Primal Oblivion!? Ragnarok used a dead D.A. for cover.
When the blast hit the ground, it spread to every one of them, then vanished instantly.
Ragnarok dropped the body, then asked, ?What kind of pathetic crap was that? It didn?t hurt me at all.?
?That?s because I told it not to. That attack gathers information on all nearby fighters. It tells me what it is strong enough to kill, so I had to wait until we had gotten past enough of them for it to kill the rest.?
?Well it looks like you wasted your time, because they are all still standing??
Before Ragnarok could finish his sentence, all of the D.A.s fell to the ground dead, every last one of them.
?Impressive, huh?? asked Ken.
?Definitely,? managed Ragnarok, who stood in amazement. He shook his head and snapped back to reality. ?We should get moving. We?ll never find out anything just sitting here.?
Ken agreed, and they both ran off in the direction the D.A.s had been moving before.
Ragnarok stopped all of a sudden.
?What is it man?? asked Ken.
Ragnarok stood speechless for a moment.
?Ragnarok??
?It?s Sheeva, he is alive.?
