New Girl In Town
Part 15
"Ha ha ha. Congratulations for making it this far," complimented Crocodile with a short pause. The friends had almost forgotten that the boss himself was still alive. Leah gulped down her throat as she was the only one who knew about him more than the others.
"Now where is the gem?"
The friends were already in poor conditions, except for Zahn. He stepped forward from the group, giving notice to those big, evil eyes. Judging from Zahn's serious facade look, Leah knew that he was about to challenge her worst nightmare. She quickly stepped in before anything could happen.
"No, Zahn", she whispered while holding his arms tight. "Don't tell him". Zahn's reply was only to ignore her advice.
"Hey you over there! Yeah you, wearing your mommy's robe. I have what you want, but you have to earn it", exclaimed Zahn. Crocodile was not even disturbed by those harsh words and made his way to the arena. One step closer he took was similar to a closer death sentence for Leah. She was trembling in fear, her eyes staring at one only point. The rest of the friends did not know anything about him, but seemed to be underestimating him. They were so calm and relaxed, until Crocodile placed a terrifying gift on set.
"Don't think that I am going to let you all leave this building so easily. This timebomb has just been set for 15 minutes. Live while you can. Ha ha ha". A sense of shock was in the air. Hearts were pounding exceedingly fast. The timebomb was placed under the Royal throne. The friends started feeling uneasy to stay any longer in SmartBrain.
Zahn suggested," You guys must get out of the building and stay as far as 300 metres. I'll catch up later". Ryuuziq and Aeonex did not want to abandon him but he had no choice. One has to fend off the enemy while the others escape. Leah, especially, could barely let go of his arms. She was afraid that she might lose such a nice guy in such a short period of time. A hand then grabbed Leah's.
"Come on, Leah. It's not safe here. Let us believe in Zahn. He will win," supported Rinoa. Due to her friend's voice, she finally took off slowly. From holding his arms all the way to his fingers. Both of them found it hard to separate.
The moment the other friends had left the floor, Crocodile made a deep hit into Zahn's stomach. A loud shout was bursted. A few drops of blood dripped down from his mouth. The pain was exaggerating enough to make a person faint.
"I haven't told you my name. I'm Crocodile, the one who will defeat you. And you must be Zahn", introduced Crocodile. Zahn could hardly stand due to the powerful blow. He was on his knees.
On the way out of SmartBrain, the friends were busily running towards the exits. However, Leah was too concerned for Zahn's life. She believed so that he would defeat the Crocodile. It would not be that easy, still.
