Tsubasa smiled "hey Sol and hey Sebastin. My name is Tsubasa but you already know that. So what will we do on this quest?" Tsubasa asks as she walks ahed slightly then turning around walking backwards so they can talk better.
"kills things, collect ores rinse and repeat, maybe we'll find a dungeon or something " sebastian said as he left his smile up but his shield hand low. tsubasa, was an interesting name, they were probably from different countries or something.
Mason stood a little bit behind Sebastian. She wasn't talking much because she was uncomfortable being in such a large group. Guess I'll have to deal with it. She thought to herself.
As they continued walking they slowly came upon a massive black cave with spider webs hanging off of it, "Listen up...the enimies here are speed based...they are fast...but...they are nowhere near as fast as I am..." he spun SAW a good time and started for the cave.
Not wanting to be the weak link again Tsubasa quickly followed him into the cave suddenly being very serius "i guess im not as fast as you.... bt i think i can handle these spiders" She quickly readyed her shield and her blade being carefull to not step into any spider webs.
sebastian came behind tsubasa and rested a hand on her shoulder and smiled. She was so much like his old friend ibuki in the guild, he hadn't seen her since he had grown stale and wanted to repay her for his grouchiness. He wished he hadn't but her timidness got to him and he shouted at her before leaving. Still he needed to ease his mind. "stay behind me, I'm probably the slowest of us all so just get'em off me will ya hehehehe" sebastian said as he spun his spear and grabbed it over hand and walked on.
Mason pulled out her sword and walked into the cave. Her eyes glittered with happiness. She was excited to fight. Her stats were pretty even in general but she knew how to get herself out of tough situations. She put almost all her points into her intelligence.
Reacting a bit suprised by the sudden hand on her shoulder Tsubasa turned around seeing Sebastians kind face.
"stay behind me, I'm probably the slowest of us all so just get'em off me will ya hehehehe"
As Tsubasa heard that she was a bit relived even tho she was so determierd before. it was ow that she realised that her weapon hand was shaking before but suddenly stopped. She was afraid to fight.... even tho she wantet to prove herself so badly she was afrait to fight and fall in battle and thats why Sebastians request was helping her more than him.
"uhhhh.... uhmmm... s-....sure. Ill protect your back" she replys with a shy smile as she slowed down so that sebastian could pass. Tsubasa sticked to his back like she was glued to it and followed him looking down on her hands with a smile as her shivering was compleatly gone. She didnt know why but just Sebastian talking to her and relying on her gave her confidence and she was sure that nothing bad will happen today
. m-.....maybe this is the same feeling i had back then when e picked me up for the first time......
Of course, when they walked into the cave, Soma was nowhere to be seen even though the spiders were still there, which meant either he had gotten himself killed, or he ran past all the enemies to the deepest part to fight the biggest enemies.
Sebastian smiled as he stood towards the front of the group and let out a loud yell as to attract the spiders. Though he managed to thrust them away for the most part he was doing all he could for then, and they started to jump on him quick.
Tsubasa tryed to focus on her job to protect Sebastians back and get the spiders that attacked him to fast but as soon as the creatures jumped at them tsubasas hands startet to shake as she rememberd evrything that could go wrong now. With just one false step she would take a hit or be spun up in a spider web. Or maybe even worse. If she fails now sebastian will get hit and she could never forgive herself if that happend..... it would have been just like back then with him.....
With all these thoughts running trough tsubasas head she was not able to focus on the fight and didnt notice that one of the spiders was jumping directly at her.
"Kyahhhhhhhh!" As she looked up she let out a scream and quickly held her shild up to protect herself. She barly blocked the spider but it was now sticking to her shild and climbing up on it to go for her again. Still being frightent tsubasa is not able to do a thing but watch..... being frozen in fear.
Sebastian came in like a blurr as he tackled the spider attacking there new girl as other covered his back. a Smile was on his face despite this, the pain he felt only made him want to keep fighting, but he had limits. "hit them, I'll be fine if ya miss hahahaha" he cheered as he looked to the others to see if they were ok.
With a frightent look she looks over to sebastian that saved her and still smiles at her even tho a spider is attacking his back. That smile..... that friendly smile.... it had a magical effect on tsubasa. Without even noticing the shacking stopped..... she was not afraid anymore..... it was the same as back then.
Tsubasa quickly made a few deep breaths and then smashed the spider away with her shield. She was now in full controll again her eyes showing that. She smiled over to sebastian as she quickly turned around to slize a spider open whispering while slashing siunds filled the air "thank you....."
Sebastian nodded as he ran back to the main battle to attract more of the spiders for a battle the same way. He laughed as he did so. Quickly he looked over at mason and remembered there short adventure when they first met.
Suddenly, a short sword seemed to come out of nowhere as if it was thrown, and stuck into a spider that was about to hit Tsubasa in the back, then when the spider vanished after dying the shortsword clattered to the floor.
Sol slashed around with his dual blades in a whirlwind of motion cutting down spiders, webs, and anything else that got in his way, while keeping a careful eye on the area in case anything tried to suprise them like a trap or a boss.
Alexander was fast, to fast to watch as he raced around the entire cave like a speed demon, Everything that got in his way was torn to shreds by SAW, spiders just seemed to randomly explode as Alexander raced through the cave like a monster. Thats when he saw it, "GUYS!!! BOSS DOOR!!!" Alexander stopped dead in front of the door a cringed for a moment, "Remember...Its a speed boss..."
Sebastian as far behind but caught up to the others as they reached the boss door, he seemed out of breath as he hit his knees with his hands and looked to the others managing to not talk for once.
