It didn't take long for Archer[Quinn] to regret the words that had left his mouth. As soon as he said them, he realised the mistake he had made. He knew what Mill[Sil]'s mindset was like, how he had grown up. Anyone would be affected by what he had gone through. Now that he was so close to getting his long lost friends back, those feelings were just amplified.
The thing was, Archer[Quinn] was trying harder than he could imagine. He often put on a brave face but what he was doing wasn't easy. His training was one of the toughest things he had to bear and what he was going through wasn't fun either. The other thing that upset him, was what Mill[Sil] had said. Did he really think they were doing nothing, he wasn't the only one working hard for Zamier[Vorden] and Rat[Rat]en, everyone was, and Archer[Quinn] knew that.
When he heard Mill[Sil] say that he didn't care, it felt like all of their work was appreciated. Making it so Archer[Quinn] had just lashed out. He was tired, exhausted and still hadn't rested, causing the words to just slip from his mouth. Looking at Mill[Sil], after hearing those words, he immediately placed his head down and was looking at the floor.
Joseph[Sam] was a little nervous, as he was unsure whether or not Mill[Sil] was angry or upset. It could go either way since Mill[Sil] was someone who respected Archer[Quinn]'s words and listened to him more so than others. Because of this, Joseph[Sam] gave a quick tug to Archer[Quinn], to try and quell the situation before it became a big deal.
"Archer[Quinn], say something?" Joseph[Sam] whispered.
"Mill[Sil], I'm sorry I didn't mean that. I know you have just been so worried. I think I'm just the one going a bit crazy here. Let's talk about it, and I can go through the plan, and what we plan to do, okay?" Archer[Quinn] asked.
At that moment, Mill[Sil] lifted up his hand, and a ball of water was floating about.
"Archer[Quinn], stop him! We don't know what abilities he has or how many strong abilities he has stored. If he fights in the command centre, the whole ship could go down!" Joseph[Sam] yelled now, afraid.
Quickly trying to sort out the situation, he could see Mill[Sil] already getting ready to do something.
"Archer[Quinn], I never thought I would hear those words from you, " Mill[Sil] said, lifting his head, with a face full of tears, but soon his eyebrows frowned inwards. "If I'm really crazy, then I should start acting like it then shouldn't I!" Mill[Sil] shouted, about to use the water skill[ability].
Quickly though, Archer[Quinn] raised his hand.
"You need a time out. Think before you act, Mill[Sil]!" Archer[Quinn] shouted, closing his hand, and a shadow was seen quickly engulfing Mill[Sil], and when it disappeared, Mill[Sil] did with him.
Joseph[Sam] was nervous, and he was wondering if the situation was over.
"Did you use the shadow lock skill on him?" Joseph[Sam] asked.
"Yeah, hopefully he just needs to calm down. We have to remember on the Blade island, Mill[Sil] didn't have much chance to interact with anyone past a certain age. It's like he's a child sometimes, and sometimes I don't think he knows the dangerous power he holds." As soon as Archer[Quinn] finished this sentence, he could see his MC cells going down by the second.
'Is he attacking the space in the shadow lock?'
It seemed like Archer[Quinn]'s little time out hadn't worked, for currently inside the shadow space, Mill[Sil] was attacking everything around him, hoping to break out of it.
"Damn Mill[Sil]! Don't worry Joseph[Sam], I'll be back." Archer[Quinn] said, as he cast another shadow lock on himself taking him inside the black space.
As expected, he could see Mill[Sil] using a number of abilities, green strange energy crashing about, at the same time water waves bashing into the shadow around. Each time lowering Archer[Quinn]'s MC.
"Mill[Sil] what are you doing!" Archer[Quinn] shouted.
"I'm crazy right! Just like my family, I can't help myself but fight and destroy everything I see. After all, that's how I was brought up. To kill everyone around me! To make sure I was always the one that survived!"
It was clear once again something had snapped in Mill[Sil], and now this was the second time. Words were becoming harder to get through to him.
Getting closer, a large wave of water came crashing towards Archer[Quinn], but it was easily avoided. Soon though, green beams of energy shot out towards Archer[Quinn], however the same thing again, as Archer[Quinn] was able to avoid them.
"Look at you Mill[Sil], do you really think you can go to the Blade island in the state you are in now? Remember, the Blades have the same skill[ability] as you, even stronger skill[ability] users locked up. We can't just fight them with power against power! It won't work!" Archer[Quinn] shouted.
However, Mill[Sil]l just decided to shoot a bigger energy beam, and at this point Archer[Quinn] was frustrated. He avoided the attacks with a flash step and when his foot hit the black shadow ground, he leapt off it, dashing forward reaching where Mill[Sil] was in an instant.
Although Mill[Sil] had strong abilities, there was a huge difference between him and the others in the Blade family. Mill[Sil]'s body wasn't up to par. Thanks to the red pills and the training of the Blade island, Mill[Sil]'s body was perhaps at the same level as a vampire, perhaps slightly higher.
With good beast gear on supporting him, he could get up to the point where he could match a vampire knight in certain aspects, then with his abilities he was a dangerous force, but Mill[Sil] had no decent beast gear on.
And if one was to compare a vampire's speed with Archer[Quinn]'s, it was the difference between night and Day. Archer[Quinn] quickly was in front of Mill[Sil], and he could see him throwing a fist made of metal. A hardening skill[ability]. Grabbing it, Archer[Quinn] had no problem lifting Mill[Sil] up in the air, and slamming his body into the ground. It wasn't a light throw either.
"Stop this now Mill[Sil], you can't keep acting like a child!" He shouted. "I know how you feel, you're frustrated right? Because we're so close, but you're just sitting around doing nothing."
"If you're frustrated, then take it out on me. Don't let it bottle up inside. Come and see me, and me and you can fight it out anytime, Mill[Sil]!" Archer[Quinn] shouted to his face.
SIl shouted in anger, placing both plans on Archer[Quinn]'s c.h.e.s.t and shot the beam of energy in rage. It lifted Archer[Quinn]'s body slightly off the ground and into the air. Soon, a red blood aura started to surround his body, and covered him like a cocoon. The blood started to move and push the green energy back and when it landed back down the blood had disappeared and Archer[Quinn] was beside Mill[Sil] again. Making a fist he punched Mill[Sil] in the gut.
It was a hard blow, and Mill[Sil] felt like he couldn't breathe. He fell to his knees trying to breathe in but it was impossible.
As for Archer[Quinn], the green blast had damaged his body as he hadn't put any of his armour on. It was a good thing as well, otherwise he was sure that he would have to give another job to Alex. The attack was a strong one, as could be seen by the wounds on his c.h.e.s.t.
Quickly though, they started to heal, and the pain shown on Archer[Quinn]'s face was minimal. Once Mill[Sil] could breathe again, he laid on the floor out on his back.
"Do you feel better now?" Archer[Quinn] said.
Covering his face with his arm. Mill[Sil] was trying to hold back the tears.
"Yeah, but I…I..I can't just keep saying sorry Archer[Quinn]. Why am I like this?!" He asked.
"It's not just you." Archer[Quinn] replied. "Everyone feels this way, we just have our own ways of dealing with the problem. Come on, let's go back. I'm sure everyone is worried about us."
In the command centre, when Joseph[Sam] saw the shadow, he ducked for cover for a few seconds, under the table. He and many others knew Mill[Sil]'s strength and quite frankly, depending on what abilities Mill[Sil] held, he thought it might be a tough fight for Archer[Quinn], especially after coming back from all that training.
When he saw Archer[Quinn] look completely fine, apart from a burn mark in the c.h.e.s.t of his clothes, and Mill[Sil] with red eyes, it seemed like everything was fine.
"I'm going to go talk with Wyatt[Borden] for a little bit." Mill[Sil] said, as he was about to leave.
Looking at him, Archer[Quinn] just didn't know what to say or do anymore. He was out of ideas. If Mill[Sil] exploded one more time, maybe he couldn't get through to him.
"Wait!" Joseph[Sam] shouted, as he cleared his throat and stood up straight again. "Actually, while you two were in the shadow lock place there was a bit of good news that came through." Joseph[Sam] explained. "We have finally located another demon tier beast."
