1069 Chapter 1069 Bang on the Scene

Bing’s perspective.

—-

A glowing crackling sound ca from down the hallway and everyone got ready. ng picked Bodeir and Voldar up with her illusions. Kat couldn’t see it, but they were resting in balloons that bobbed behind the illusionist. Feng had woken up so ti recently, and wasn’t quite prepared for the morning just yet. He was still emotionally rung out but he was holding a bit of hope for this eting.

Bing was up and ready, rolling her feet forward and back as she waited for the array to finish transporting what everyone was assuming had to be Bang. On Kat and Lily’s end, they were still very lost. While Lian knew which direction to head if she wanted to et up with Bing, that didn’t account for twists and turns in the tunnels, nor the fact that Lian didn’t want to head for the vault, but the outside air. It was too risky so the pair decided to just camp out for now. Kat or ng could cover the distance in a short ti, so waiting for rescue seed the safest at this point in ti.

Bang dashed out of the array, with a halberd in hand, only to pause when he saw everyone arrayed and watching him. “Hmm… it seems I’m rather late to the fight, assuming there even was one,”

“No father, it seems that we’ve co to an agreent,” said Feng with a bit of a smile on his face. Already quite pleased that Bang hadn’t made a move to attack anyone.

Despite that though, Kat and ng could see a very different appearance when comparing the two. Bang, as seen by the others, was a young-looking man with a broad chest and long flowing green hair despite his ice affinity. To the kids, he looked like an aged up version of Feng with a larger build, and a good deal of height over his ‘son’. To Kat, he still looked quite young, but his head was shaved clean and he had a tattoo of a scythe that ran up his left side and curving down his hand.

“I see… could you enlighten to this agreent? While I do trust your mother, I do need to do so work myself to be satisfied with the outco,” said Bang.

“Well ‘husband'” ng said with a bit of spite, “I agreed to run away with the kids because Kat here has Truesight. The Mountain Shaker sect already knows and I’m planning to get out before the organisation forces to do sothing I’d rather not. They were already pushing it when they wanted to keep the kids occupied for an extended period of ti with badly matched relics, and I already ignored that. I did hold myself back from telling them your real na, and that of who we work for… but I’m washing my hands of the lot,”

.....

“Really?” asked Bang with a raised eyebrow, “Surely you don’t think turning your back on the people who raised you is a good idea. They have there fingers in little pies all across the continent. Even if you run… they will find you. You should know this ng, considering you were one of the people that was asked to hunt down the runners,”

“Well Bang, I’m betting that it will simply be too much of a hassle for them. I don’t hate the organisation, I don’t have any true ill will towards it, and I’m leaving most of the good shit here. Even if I didn’t run, the mission would still be collapsing because the Mountain Shaker sect already know we’re fakes. So I’m getting out, and keeping what matters to , the kids. The organisation has known for years I’ve wanted children. I never made a secret of that because I was too stupid to know better when I was younger, and then when I was older the cat was already out of the bag.

“Frankly? If they’re surprised in any way by this turn of events then they don’t deserve to be in charge. They handed everything I’ve ever wanted on a silver platter. Made it my mission to just keep them safe for decades and suddenly, when they want to make a move against them, I’d refuse? The writing was on the wall, Bang. If they find this to be a shock, they deserve to be replaced. My original masters would not have been so stupid. I don’t know who replaced them, but they’ve been getting sloppy, and now it’s ti for that to bite them in the ass,” said ng with no hint of sha or regret.

“You realise they will punish for this regardless, right?” asked Bang.

ng shrugged, “Technically speaking I’m the one in charge of this mission so I could order you to make things easier for if I wanted. Sure, I’m certain you will be punished, but that’s because they’re idiots who no longer follow protocol. You’d be punished for listening to , punished for disobeying . Punished for letting get away, punished for not following along like a good little dog. Punished for betraying them along with . Yup, I think you’re going to get in trouble no matter what. I suppose it depends just how you will be punished, and how much,”

“You’re putting in a position where I can’t win,” yelled Bang, “What exactly do you want to do?”

“Frankly Bang, I don’t care. You can do whatever you like. I don’t care if they kill you over this, nor torture, or just a slap on the wrist. You are not important to Bang, and your future is not my concern. Now, what are you going to do?” asked ng.

Bang carefully looked around at the people standing in front of him and shrugged. “I suppose I’m coming along for now,”

ng frowned at that but nodded, and gestured for everyone to go ahead. Kat stuck next to the bubble holding Bodeir, Feng moved to stand with Bang and head through the transport together, Bing however stayed closer to Kat and ng. Sothing about this wasn’t sitting right with her.

*As nice as it is to have Bang coming with us… I can’t help but feel like there’s sothing else going on here. It’s odd, he seems genuine at the mont… but I’m still worried.* Bing kept her thoughts to herself, even if so of them were obvious. The group stepped on the transport pad and everything was light.

Bing stumbled as she tried to regain her bearings on the other side, only to feel herself being shoved away. Bing went flying, her control over the wind barely responsive to her muddled mind. When she managed to recover her wits it was to a disturbing scene. They weren’t in the portal room, they had been sent sowhere else… but that was the least of Bing’s worries.

Standing atop the array, was Kat, except she wasn’t just standing under her own power anymore. She had a large spear of ice that had pierced straight through her wing and into the ground. The damning bit of evidence though? Kat was standing where Bing had been just a mont before. ng’s eyes were glowing, illusions of herself blurring out and around the area, keeping Bang penned in… but they were making no move to attack.

The reason for that was Bang. He had taken Feng into a chokehold with a dagger made of ice pressing up against Feng’s neck. “I see I missed,” mumbled Bang.

“Why dad? Why?” asked Feng, pain in his heart, but not all that surprised. “You could’ve just co with us,”

“No I couldn’t foolish boy. ng has likely attempted to poison you against , and she would be right to do so. I don’t much care for you, and I certainly have no interest in being forced onto a family road-trip for the next decade. ng made her choice, and I’m making mine… of course… I had hoped for ng to be injured in the attack against Bing… but it seems that the little demon is friendlier then she should be. I left Bodeir alone for a reason you know?” said Bang without a care in the world.

“I’m afraid you miscalculated,” said Kat with a grin despite the large hole in her wing. “Bing is a good friend of mine, and I was closer than ng. A bit of wing damage is nothing compared to her life. Sha I wasn’t quite quick enough to just get out of the way, but I needed to make sure I didn’t turn her to paste with my speed in moving her, so here we are,”

“You seem remarkably unconcerned with taking such a crippling blow,” pointed out Bang.

Kat shrugged, not even wincing as the motion disturbed her wound greatly, causing more black blood to flow out onto the ice. “I get great dical,” retorted Kat with a grin. “Nothing more than a flesh wound,”
