20 A Kidnapping! Pt 2 (1/2)
Two days and 4499 degrees later in the Flame Realm Hittan's frustration had set in and his temper began to flare, again! If the members of team New Hope saw that he stood at tier 3 Diamond Rank and was complaining about his slow progress they would attack him on principle!
”d.a.m.n it! This d.a.m.ned body has a different Mineral Core than my previous one and is making my transition too time-consuming! I don't have months of time to spend in here while my wives are alone out there and especially after I've promised to solve their loneliness. I'll give it one more attempt then I'm leaving this G.o.d forsaken fire prison!”
...
”Jager, what did Malach have to say that he wanted to secretly meet up with us? He proposed a collaboration between us and the Aapo family. He wants to stage a kidnapping of Hittan's friends to force him to publicly kneel and apologise to him.”
”Okay, but why get us involved?”
”He needs us to convince them to leave the Academy for liberty weekend. But he knows the best persons to do that are Kaia and Kaija and not us. But we are needed to convince Kaia and Kaija to convince them to do so. I told him yes we would love to. That was something you wanted too, right Sang?”
”Yes, you did well. Maybe after this, he won't be so high and mighty! Let's get started on it.”
Having agreed to partic.i.p.ate the two gathered Mark under the pretence of visiting the town below for some sightseeing and shopping the following day.
The next morning the girls found themselves bored in the absence of a certain person.
”d.a.m.n it, Sister! He's been gone for 5 days now why hasn't he come out to visit us?! I'm beginning to question his devotion!”
”Kaia, it's only been five days.”
”So you're saying that you don't miss him at all Kaija!?”
”I didn't say that. I mean he's trying to get stronger for us, isn't he? So be patient.”
”But it's so boring around here now without him, gees.h.!.+”
Knock, Knock!
”Who is it!?”
”It's us, Sang and the rest!”
”What do they want? Do you think Sang is still trying to get with you?”
”I hope not. He'd only be wasting his time.”
”That's never stopped him before. I think you need to make it clear to him that he's wasting his efforts. Plus, at some point, you know who is bound to get jealous and we've seen his temper already.”
”He has to work on his temper, but you're right. I need to make things clearer to him.”
”Okay then, I'll get the door.”
...
”Hey what took you guys so long to open up?”
To Jager's question, Kaia only eyed him from the corner of her eyes for a second. While Kaija did not even bother to respond to him but ask a question of her own.
”What are you guys doing here?”
Seeing that Jager had overstepped by his question Sang stepped in, ”we plan on going to the city for some sightseeing and shopping. It is Liberty weekend after all.”
