~ The ground quaked once more as massive rock missiles shot up from the ground, sending any bandit that was underneath one flying into the air, Flint motioned his hands once more as smaller missile type rocks shot out from the ground and headed towards the bandits still on the ground, only to turn upwards to rocket to the ones now falling back down as splatters of blood started to rain down from the sky. Some of the bandits now looked a bit startled but the leader was having none of it, "come on guys, he is only one kid, attack and get in there!" the leader commanded as the bandits resumed their attack, getting fear from their own side now, Flint continued to just slowly walk forward, his left hand out, glowing gold as the earth ripped apart under it. Passing by one of the stones that had landed back down from his earlier attack, Flint reached his right had out as a divot started forming in the rock straight under his hand, the gold glow started emanating from within as the rock stated forming a sword that quickly raised to Flint's reach, grasping the handle, Flint took hold of his newly formed weapon and slashed out at the bandit that was near him, killing them instantly. As the other bandits closed in, Flint swung his body around as the earth started forming around his tail and launching out at all those that neared, sending them flying back, the bandits who could, got back up and tried to close in again, but Flint was not having any of it. The ground opened up below the group as the charging bandits fell into the opened pit, with another quick motion of his hands, the ground closed back up once, burring all those trapped in the void to their demise, "I can shape the work as I see fit" Flint started saying as he approached the bandit leader, Ion and Zephyr gasping in awe of the power Flint had displayed, "you guys will make a good foundation of a better world" Flint continued as he striked out at the leader, who met Flint's blade with his own. 'I will admit it kid, you have some skill, but" the bandit leader started saying as he was able to push Flint back disarming him and knocking him to the ground, taking his sword, "you lack the experience of combat, you don't know who you are dealing with "the leader continued as Flint got made a chuckle, getting back to his feet and brushing himself off, "maybe it is you who doesn't know what they are dealing with" Flint said in a cold voice, "or did you forget what that sword in your hand is made of?" Flint continued with a devious smile as the bandit leader glanced over at Flint's sword in his hand. A moment latter the sword exploded into a shrapnel of rocks that dug in deep, blood exploded from the bandit leader as he fell to the ground gasping in pain, Flint walked over to the severely injured bandit leader and knelt down beside him.
"The power of Gaia is unforgiving, you tried to sell my friends into slavery or worst, you had this coming to you" Flint said in a cold tone as the bandit spit blood in his face, "you think that justifies what you have done?" he barely spoke, "I shape the world for better, as I said before you guys will make a good foundation for that, now join the rest of your group" Flint continued as the bandit leader was sucked deep into the ground, the area closing over fully burring him. Flint then ran over to his still restrained friends and started freeing them, "you don't know how happy I am to see you again" Ion said with tears in his eyes as he embraced Flint after he designated the chains holding him, "when you got knocked down into that void, I thought we lost you." "Hey, hey no need for tears, I am ok and everything worked out in the end" Flint responded as he pressed his lips against Ion's as both shared a loving kiss, "see, I told you, you would figure out your ability" Ion said with a smile as their lips parted, "I guess you were right" Flint answered back with a smile of his own, "so how did you figure it out? And where did you get that outfit?" Ion asked as Flint gave a small chuckle, "I will tell you soon but now there is a more pressing matter since... well... I guess you... are getting a bit... excited..." Flint continued saying with a devious smile as Ion realized he was still all fluffy, covering himself with his hands, "there is a chest over there on the bandit's cart, my guess your clothing and other items are in there" Flint said with a small laugh, "right, thanks" Ion said with a bit of embarrassment as he went over to the chest, as Flint started freeing Zephyr, "I would have to say that was really amazing, but what else to expect from a warrior fennec" Zephyr said as he gave Flint a hug after he was freed but before realizing he was also still all fluffy and stepped back, "be right back, got to see if Ion has found my stuff as well" Zephyr said before he ran over to the chest Ion was at. The sound of more voices could be heard coming their way as Ion and Zephyr had been able to put some of their equipment back on, forgetting about the others who were here trying to bid on them, probably had gone back to the nearby village for the guard, "we might need to get out of here quickly" Ion said, tying his coat around his waist as he didn't have time to finish fully getting ready, Zephyr doing the same with his tunic, "we are in a different country with different rules, we are still considered slaves here and you you probably some sort of criminal for freeing us" Ion continued as he motioned to Flint, " so best we not get caught by anyone" Ion finished, motioning to Flint and Zephyr to follow him into the nearby woods. "Hold on one second" Flint said as he knelt down over the ground in which he burred the bandits, placing his hands down on top, the golden glow returned as grass and flowers started filling the area, "I said I would shape the world into something better, I need to at least keep my word on that" he said with a smile before wincing in pain, holding his chest, "are you ok? " Zephyr called out in worry but Flint motioned him off as he stood back up, "I am fine, just maybe went a little over board, come on, like Ion said we need to get out of here before any guards show up" Flint continued as he joined back up with his friends as the commotion of people came closer..... ~
