Kio/Kioshi
For the first time in her life, she actually felt alone when they left. She whined to herself, sitting there with her ears down.

Garmr, the Silent Killer
He finally reached his lair, underneath piles of rubble. He flew inside, hundreds of survivors interacting with each other. Garmr has made an alliance with them, paying them back with food when they successfully completed his chores. "How was your battle with Kio?" one of them asked. Garmr showed them his scars, everyone's eyes open wide. "She's gotten stronger, and the wounds she has given you has gotten deeper. What can we do to get her?" another asked. Garmr didn't respond, but silently told them to stay put. He wanted to handle this all on his own.

Hessonite felt a bit bad about leaving Kioshi there, but Citrine nudged her to keep going.

" Where are we going, Citrine? " Hessonite asks.

" Somewhere safe. " He says.

She doesn't say anything more, and kicks at some rubble piles.

Kio/Kioshi
She laid down, sitting there in pure silence.

Garmr, the Silent Killer
His troops wanted to take care of Kio, knowing how to weaken her. Kio vs hundreds of aggressive survivors that drive themselves through with determination and loyalty to their leader. She is strong, but not strong enough. "We're sorry master, but we must do this." They all ran out of the lair, with countless amounts of weapons. Some stayed to Garmr's aid, while the rest sought out for Kio. They yelled their signature calls, holding bows and arrows.

Kio/Kioshi
She heard the survivors getting close to them, getting hit in the flank by an arrow. She howled alarmingly, flying in the air to decrease her chances of getting hit again. She was lucky that the arrows are not poison, but she knew that she did not have to time to fight them. She kept up her alarming howls, the arrow still in her flank.

Hessonite turned and ran back towards Kioshi. Citrine cursed as he also heard the survivors, and he knew Hessonite did too, thats why she ran back towards Kioshi. He chased after her.

Kio/Kioshi
She saw Hessonite and Citrine run back to her, confused but knew that they were able to engage in battle. "I thought that they would flee, oh whatever, I'm going back down there!" She flew back down, ground pounding. Some flew up in the air and dropped hard to the ground, Kio certain that it made them break a couple of their bones. She has then gained her bravery back, attacking survivors.

Garmr, the Silent Killer
Garmr was sitting in slience, knowing that his troops are taking care of him. One of his troops were cleaning off the bite marks on his neck, careful. "They have decided to attack Kio to avenge you." Garmr heard, but became pessimistic. He thought that nobody will leave unscathed, but kept his though to himself.

Both of them summoned/pulled out their swords. Hessonite's was a fiery red-orange and Citrines was a white-blue. They sliced off about 7 heads at a time, each.

Kio/Kioshi
"Woah, amazing!" she thought as she watched them battle and multitask. She had enough, slamming them to the ground like she did for Garmr.

The Survivors
They've seen how bone breaking Kio's slams were, fleeing the fight.

Kio/Kioshi
She emitted one final roar at them, echoing. She still didn't care about the arrow stuck in her, all she cared about was proving her dominance and protecting others.

Garmr, the Silent Killer
Him and his troops heard Kio's roar, the troops getting angry. "We've lost? No way! Has she gotten stronger after all?" they shouted. Garmr looked down, but wasn't disappointed. He knew that they would lose as soon as they disobeyed his orders.

Citrine and Hessonite put their swords away. They didn't have a single scratch on them. " Are you okay? " Hessonite asked her.

Kio/Kioshi
She wanted to speak, but didn't. Her mute personality is an on and off thing. One day, she's able to emit sounds, the next day she can't emit any noise at all. She only showed her flank, the arrow being the only thing that hit her. "Hope that they can understand me, my body's being mute again."

Hessonite walked over and pulled the arrow out. " Sorry if it hurt, if I left it in you would've got an infection. "
