"Sit down, Ahana." The boy said in a soft, yet firm tone. "I'm kinda starting to get annoyed of you commanding me, brother. Just because you're older doesn't give you the right to-"
"I said….sit down."
Ahana closed her eyes and put her hands on her knees while she sat back down. (Life is mostly all about power. These people that are on the train…will surely die if we engage this man. I'm positive he's with the jinn slayer corporation…I just don't know if I remember seeing him). The kid said, looking at the man through his reflection on the tv. The man also wore a hoodie that covered his face. (Maybe he just has jinn energy. I highly doubt it. I can't let Ahana fight him either…who knows just what the negative impact will do to her).
"Ahana. We…will get off at the next stop. He won't do anything because it's a public place." The kid said.
"I wouldn't be so sure about that. He's coming towards you, JOEY!!!" Ahana yelled.
Joey quickly turned around to see a fist covered in jinn energy headed towards his face. Joey ducked the fist and kicked the man back. The crowd of people were confused as to what was happening. The man pulled both of his arms back, letting the energy flow around both his hands. "Jinn slayer attack:," the man began.
Joey immediately grabbed Ahana by her wrist and jumped out of the train before it had come to a complete stop. More people were even walking on the sidewalk of the station. Joey quickly looked around and found the exit door. "Take that door and head to the hideout!" Joey ordered Ahana. The man quickly leaped out after the two and landed on his two feet. "Joey…and Ahana. The jinn slayer corporation wants you two turned in immediately. I'm only here to make that happen." The man said. "That voice…what's your name?" Joey asked.
The man didn't answer Joey's question. "Come with me, Joey Castle." The man said, holding out his hand. The man hadn't realized it yet, but Ahana had already disappeared. "Now that she's gone. There's no need to hide it. I shouldn't even say this because it'll risk her original self to come back but, when the hell are you all gonna start remembering who I am?! We were comrades, Rock!!" Joey yelled.
Rock removed his hoodie to reveal himself. "I'm not sure…exactly what it is you're talking about. I've been told that you'll try every little trick in the book to throw off anyone who's pursuing you. I've never seen you a day in my life, kid."
"Tsk. Worth a try. In that case, are you really willing to have everyone here see what's about to go down? You wouldn't be that stupid."
"Well, of course. You think I'm alone? We've sreaches the entire globe for unique slayers who'll help our cause. Why do you think I let Ahana leave? As of right now, there's a barrier that's been unleashed upon the section of the city you two reside in. One is covering this whole building, Ahana is stuck in here with me and you. The other is half of the city, not allowing anyone to see or hear what's about to happen or allowing anyone with jinn energy to leave. That's if you even manage to get past this barrier here." Rock explained
******
On a tower, deep in the middle of the city, sat a Japanese man, playing his koto. "Barriers all set. Should be easy catch." He said as the wind blew.
******
"You get it? The whole world is coming together…to take you down, Joey castle!!! Jinn slayer attack: Needle fist!!" Blue needle-shaped lines headed towards Joey as Rock threw rapid punches. Joey jumped back and into the crowd of people. (I can't beat Rock in my current state. Damn…now I need-)
"AHANA!!!" Joey yelled. Rock looked past Joey and could see Ahana standing in the distance with her blindfold off. She looked up to shine a bright yellow light throughout the entire area, blinding everyone and Rock for approximately 120 seconds.
Joey used this time to grab Ahana and run outside. (Where would the barrier caster be?! He wouldn't be anywhere near us, right? That means he's-)
"I see someone with jinn energy. 4 miles from here."
"That's good and all, but we don't have time to-"
"If you're worried about the people that are around, they can't hear or see what's going on. The only people who'll be concerned are the ones who I just blinded. I put out my own barrier. Grab on!" Ahana held out her hand. Flashes clouded Joey's mind of Ahana's old self holding her hand out.
"No…go handle the caster. I'll hold off this jinn slayer."
******
Ahana flew across the city with amazing speed. She used her eyes to see the exact location of the caster. "I found you." Ahana chuckled. She sped up and could see the man in her view. The man stood up and aggressively played his koto. The air around Ahana turned hard, like a solid. Ahana flipped higher into the air, while flipping, she pointed at the man. "Jinn slayer attack: Great-"
"Jinn slayer attack: Crystal skyies!" A beam of light shined through the sky, allowing Ahana to run across the beam. (He literally turns the sky into a solid! An amazing ability!) Ahana thought. Ahana reached behind her back to pull out one of her two swords. Her all black sword was fuming with jinn energy. The man jumped onto the light platform and put his Koto behind his back. The man revealed a katana as he ran towards Ahana. "This is going to be great!!! Let's go!!!!" Ahana laughed as she jumped into the air and swung her sword.
******
Rock emerged from the entrance of the station, his eyes were red and had pure anger in them. "You're really gonna do this now? Are you kidding me?" Joey chuckled.
"I know they can't see or here us, smart ass. You and Ahana are coming in…today!!" Rock took a fighting stance, looking like a professional fighter with years of training. Joey did the same. The two stood in the middle of the street and flashed their energies. (I'll hold him off until the heavy hitting back-up arrives. Once that happens, all we need to go is to at least get one of them.) Rock thought.
(Knowing how they operate, the jinn slayers have called in reinforcements. Due to the deal me and Ahana's old-self made, my jinn energy output is very small compared to Rock's. He's stronger than I am. In currently a medium-level jinn slayer. Rock is easily in the high range. When it comes to hand-to-hand combat, I have the strength were-as he has the skills. I can fight him and make a break for it when the time is right). Joey thought. Rock planted his foot into the ground and lounged at Joey. Joey slammed his foot into the ground, causing the concrete to pop out of the ground. He then kicked it towards Rock. Rock punched through it and ran at Joey. Rock threw a jab, uppercut, and a right hook. Joey smoothly dodged the combination of strikes, and countered using his knee, slamming it into Rock's solid stomach.
Rock grabbed Joey's knee and tossed him across the street. "Woah!!" Joey yelled, quickly grabbing onto a light post. Joey flipped himself on top and stood on the pole. "Nice kick. I was told you were trained well. In that case…let's see you do good against this." Rock used his jinn energy now. The beautiful blue glow revealed he was using his "soul touching" ability.
"I thought your job was to capture me….not kill me." Joey said.
"That's what I'm doing, kid. You seem nervous. You know what my ability is?"
"Soul punishment. I'm well aware of that awful power. Which is why…it ends here. Ahana has just beat your man; the barrier is down." Joey said with a smirk.
Rick looked around quickly and noticed the same thing. (Was Humogi defeated?!)
******
Ahana stood over the knocked out man on top of the tower, her foot pressed against his face. "You're strong…I'm just me, however. Listen, man…I-I try to hold my urges inside. I'm trying to be better…I really am. You don't understand just…just how bad I want to kill you. Can you imagine the amount of will power that takes for me not to kill you? You couldn't possibly understand…could you? They had the audacity to only send a medium -level at me. God…I really want to kill you so bad." Ahana said in a shaky breath as her entire body was shaking. "You walk free this time….i hope we don't run into each other again." Ahana whispered into Humogi's ear. She walked over him and kicked him in the face to add insult. "I don't know much about my past…but I feel as though…my brother is a liar."
*****
Joey had used the crowd to escape Rock's view. Rock had no intention of chasing Joey, who would possibly lead him to Ahana. Rock knew if he were to fight her…he would surely lose the fight. Rock and Ahana were classified as the same level, but due to Ahana's legendary abilities, she would beat him and possibly even kill him. Those were Rock's thoughts.
"They…got away." Rock sighed.

Lily splashed the cold water on her face, letting her smooth skin glow in the reflection of the mirror. The brown wooden walls made her stand out in the bathroom. "So…hideous…" Lily sighed. Lily shut off the bathroom lights and slammed the door behind her. "Could you please not slam the door?" A soft voice that came from the closed door down the hall. "Yes ma'am. Sorry." Lily replied. She went down stairs and made herself a cup of water. A few minutes past before there was a knock at the front door. Lily quickly finished her water and swung open the door. "BABY!!!" Lily jumped into the arms of a white-haired boy. It was Jodi. Jodi wore a nice gray button-up shirt, tight black pants, and gray shoes. "Did you sleep well?" Jodi asked Lily. "Of course. I'm better…now that you're here." Lily said as she pulled Jodi in for a kiss. "You two make me sick! Hurry up and get inside the damn car!" A voice yelled from behind them. A kid with Brown hair with red coloring at the bottom when he moved it, he had brown eyes, a wolf style haircut, wore a red shirt with black jeans, and had a necklace that dropped to his lower chest.
"You're always in a rush, Jackson Price." Lily chuckled.
"Remember this, on time is always late. Always arrive to a location early…on time just won't cut it." Jackson said.
The three jumped in the car and drove off. In the was Joey and Ahana standing across the street. They both wore their hoodies to cover their faces. "Joey, why is you come here almost every other day? Aren't these people slayers?" Ahana asked. "No." Joey said softly. Ahana could hear it, she could hear the tiny crack that was underneath Joey's voice. Ahana took her eyes off Joey and also stared at the house. "Then…what are they?" Ahana asked him. "They're…everything." Joey whispered. "What did you say?" Ahana asked.
Joey snapped out of it and looked at Ahana. "They're just slayers nothing more. For some reason, I just get the sense of powerful jinn energy here." Joey lied. "Well, that makes no sense, considering I don't see any." Ahana replied. "Then you truly can't see everything with your eyes, Ahana."
"Is that so?"
"Very much so. You have all the power anyone could ask for…yet…you simply still don't understand the meaning of life and are even heartless at times to people." Joey replied.
"That's just not true. I for one…genuinely care for you, brother. I care for others…it just angers me that you haven't told me the truth." Ahana said.
"The truth? What don't you believe?" Joey asked.
"Well…you said I hit my head really hard a few years back, that's the reason I can't remember anything. I was in a coma, you said. And now…I pretty much was born into this world again…but I'm being hunted by slayers the whole time. That's dumb. You wouldn't lie to me…would you, Joey?"
"I've told you nothing but the truth. We had a mother and father…who were killed by slayers the moment you were born. For years I took care of you and we survived. But….around the age of 15 right before you turned 16, you hit your head and you've struggled to remember anything past that. I wouldn't lie to you."
"Okay…..sorry." Ahana said softly.
"It's okay." Joey turned his back and walked down the street. "Why is it…that you hate me, Joey?"
"I don't. Move your legs, Ahana. We need to go. We still have to search for that one."
Ahana moved her feet and caught up with Joey. (Everytime I look at you, I feel as though you just need a hug. I just want you to know…that whatever you're feeling about me, I understand. But I…I try to work on it for you, brother. I am really fond of you…)
(I'm glad Ahana hasn't fully mastered her abilities like her old-self. This being…I need to find a way to break our deal. I will. I'm disgusted to even look at her….i hate you, Ahana.)
******
"WAIT WERE GONNA GO IN AS HIGHSCHOOLERS?!?!? Yeeesss!!!" Ahana laughed, jumping up and down with joy. "Relax…we're only going in the system for a mission. We're looking for a specific person, Ahana." Joey explained. "Yes sir!" Ahana yelled with a salute position. "I'm serious. In a week from now, we will in-roll as highschoolers. I'll figure out the paperwork and stuff. I'll even try to schedule an online meeting and what not. They can't know we don't have parents. This is the best way to find who we're looking for and to stay hidden from the jinn slayers." Joey explained. Ahana sat down at the table and flipped her fork into the air. She held it in the air using her powers. "Glad I stole those outfits from that spoiled girl. Screw the rich who mock the poor."
"She wasn't rich…just had more money than we do. That's from her parents." Joey said as he leaned back against the old leather coach. "This…is really gonna be something." Joey sighed.

The soldier was now slowly evolving within its cocoon….while the other without anyone's knowledge, had already been set loose to run the earth.
