Timmy turned his head to the right to look at Quinn. One second the crate was above his head and the next... At first, he thought that perhaps Quinn was being considerate since the crate was quite a precious and handy item that they often used for deliveries. Still, the next second it was no longer where it once was, and it was completely gone.
When looking across the field, he could see that the so-called special crate had been hurled away and had knocked over what looked like a teenage boy.
"What do you think you’re doing? The crate! "Timmy yelled. "And that looked like an ordinary boy you hit!."
But Quinn didn’t reply to Timmy’s cries and yells, for he had a serious and concerned look on his face. When arriving, he had spotted the dreaded spike on the person’s back. Without a doubt, it was a Dalki.
Soon after, the crate went flying up in the air, before landing back down, creating another crater someplace else on the field. Timmy was horrified at what he was seeing. First, the crate was damaged beyond repair and now the field. How was he going to explain all of this to Edward when he came back?
The Dalki stood still and looked straight ahead towards Quinn.
"That’s no teenage boy. It’s a Dalki!" Quinn shouted as he charged in.
"A what?" Timmy said, confused. Sure, the person in front looked a little different from an average human, but he didn’t give off the presence of a vampire and looked more human than anything else. It was clear though, it was something Timmy had never seen or heard of before.
’The Dalki, what are they doing on the vampire planet?’ Quinn thought. Seeing the single spike on its back brought back memories for Quinn. Back then he wasn’t strong enough to defeat it, and Leo had come in to help, but Quinn had grown by leaps and bounds in strength since then.

’Wind Walk’
’Shadow control’
"Blood crescent kick!" Activating several skills, Quinn was ready for anything, and before getting close, he wanted to test his longest-range attack. His blood crescent kick.
As the red aura came close to the Dalki, it readied itself by crouching down slightly with its arms by its side, and when the attack was close enough, using all its strength, it took the attack straight on, hitting it as hard as it could.
The red aura was shattered.
But something had happened that the Dalki never expected. As it looked at its arm, it could see that a quite deep cut was made and green blood was seeping out from the wound.
"You hurt..me?" It was a surprise. The Dalki didn’t know the extent of its strength, and it didn’t know if it was weak or strong. When it first came to this world, it was chucked in to fight against hideous creatures, but none of them was a challenge, and not a single one had managed to create a wound on him.
This was the first time the Dalki had felt pain.
But instead of feeling weak, strange energy was felt surging inside his body, then at this moment, something else was felt coming out from his back.
"Oh, no!" Layla gasped as she covered her mouth with both her hands. "It’s a second spike."
In an instant, the fight had gone from dangerous, to very dangerous. A one spiked Dalki would have been hard enough, and Quinn had no clue how strong a two spiked Dalki would be. Still, what he did know was the Dalki got stronger and stronger the closer they were to death.
So he needed to finish this fight as soon as possible, and with it, he would have to use his strongest move.
’I need to use it now, the thing I used against Edward.’ Quinn thought.
Charging in, Quinn started to raise the shadow and gather it around his gauntlets. The Qi began to power through, and the skill was activated, showing a blue charge. Little bolts of blue lightning started to form in the shadow around the gauntlets. But this was only the starting point of the attack, there was still more to it before it was ready.
"Stop! "Vorden suddenly shouted as he had stepped in between the two. "Please, let me explain to him. Can you calm down for me...brother." Vorden awkwardly said to the Dalki, and it did as it was told as it no longer was crouched in a fighting stance, and the energy around it seemed to disappear.
’Brother?" Hearing this strange word, Quinn too had stopped supplying his gauntlets with Qi, but he left his shadow out, just in case something was up. Having a closer look at the Dalki, it did look nearly identical to Vorden, but without the long hair, and it seemed to be listening to him.
"What is going on?" Quinn asked.
"I know this sounds crazy, but I don’t really know either. He only just got here. But please trust me, Quinn. I know he isn’t here to hurt us. You can trust me, right..."
It was hard to believe that the vicious Dalki race that was at war against the humans was to do them no harm. But then again, a lot of the people here weren’t exactly human, and it did seem like the Dalki was listening carefully to Vorden.
A sample of blood would do, and then he could use it to the sample and compare the green liquid he created for Vorden. If the two of them matched up, then he knew it was his fault. freewebnøvel.coɱ
