会議。。。別れ。。。そしてある日。。。一日。。。

Emma and I were training by shooting guns to trees because Oliver's team told to

We were shooting with Sandy who was just watching us

"We're done with our part if the preparations" Zack said approaching to us

"And you? Did you find weapons suitable for you two, Emma and Y/n?" Sonya asked

"Yes... I think I can handle these two" Emma said showing two rifles

I had gotten some guns similar to the ones she's holding "Same"

"This looks really great" Zack said observing the paper we shot which Sandy placed on trees

"You all... Already know how to kill them, right?" I asked

"Yes, we know" Sandy answered "But they have no idea that we know his to destroy them for good... Nor that we will"

"As far as they can tell, we're just small game running about helplessly... And we made sure they'd think that way. Only fight in defense... Look only after yourself... And aquire information at any cost. All this time, we've been preparing our counterattack in secret. And yes, for the sake of this goal, we've lost comrades. Lucas' experience and our improvements are both hard-won... They're what we have left from our friends and families... From those he lost, and those we did. It all comes down to this plan. We know very well how strong our enemy is. But still... We will win" Sonya explained

"Right-O... Though y'all gotta take them seriously, d'you hear? Especially that one guy... Archduke Lewis" Zack said

"Did they tell you about Lucas' friends yet?" Sonya asked

"Hm?" I hummed

"His original group did manage to stand up against them... For a while. Lucas' best pal was chosen leader, and he did well in that role. They handled their weapons to great effect, and were super strategic and defense and evasion... And so they survived in this hunting park-without losing a single life" Sandy explained

{Best pal... Leader... Must be that man}

"They were an awesome team!" Sonya said

"They were on a whole 'nother level" Zack added

"But, the instant they caught Lewis' eyes..." Sandy paused "They were Annihilated"

"He went after Lucad' friends, one by one. He toyed with then before the final blow. It was as if he were slowly wrenching the arm of a toddler... While grinning in the face of the guardian" Zack said

"He was doing that to provoke the leader, Lucas' best friend... To fab the Flames of his rage. He wanted to draw out a real killer. So he cornered them, again and again... All for the thrill of the hunt, mind you. He's extraordinarily dangerous. What's more, he's a total maniac... Meaning his strategy is totally unpredictable" Sonya explained

"If our plan goes off-rails, he'll be the one detailing it" Zack said

I put my hand on my chin {That demon... Lucas and that man and their... And he also saw through us, and killed Monica's group. "To fan the flames of rage"? "To draw out a killer"?... Lewis...}

It was during lunch time, we were eating some great shit together

Suddenly music played which alarmed us all

"No... The music?" Oliver mumbled "What's happening...? This is too soon.. It's only been one day!"

"Why...?" Paula grumbled

"No way!" Gillian said

"THE POACHERS ARE COMING!! ALL OF YOU, GRAB WEAPONS AND ASSUME POSITION!!"
