My Space-Time System

609 Gathering the gang.

A black cloak fluttered its way into Carmilla's view, blocking Xeros from her sight. Her eyes dilated due to shock as she saw a familiar face, one which she had dreamed of seeing for the past two years. Her lips parted but before any word could be said, Blake had vanished once again. This time she felt his palm gently pat her shoulder and, in an instant, she vanished right before the eyes of many.

The soldiers in the battlement scrambled away in shock and fear while many were frozen at their spot. Their terrified gaze pinned on Blake's unmoving figure as they wondered if the major general could not even react to this man, who were they to dream of fighting him?

Fortunately for them, Blake had no interest in insignificant soldiers of their level. His stern gaze was pinned on Xeros' figure airborne and even though they were on the same team, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

"This guy is really crazy." Blake muttered with a shocked expression before vanishing.

Appearing in his pocket dimension where Carmilla was warped to, a friendly smile spread across his face as he took a step forward and spoke in a low tone.

"Told you I'll come back for you." He said expecting a hug from her or some sort of emotional reaction but what is saw left him heartbroken.

Carmilla stood there, rooted to that spot with her eyes pinned on Blake strangely she wouldn't move to him. Her eyes revealed her conflicted emotions and each time it seemed like she wanted to jump into his arms, she ended up hesitating.

While Blake was heartbroken, he already expected this since he was the enemy trying to burn down her home. It would be hypothetical for him to expect her to forgo everything and run into his arms because he was certain if the situation was reversed, he would hesitate.

"I understand your doubts and I promise to explain everything later, but first I need to get the rest." Blake said.

Without waiting for a response, he warped out of the pocket dimension. As soon as Blake appeared on the wall he heard the scream of a Tigerian soldier hurling through the air like a cannonball. With a simple side step, he moved out of the way with a bitter smile on his face.

It was Brian trashing Tigerian soldiers almost effortlessly. Even now Brian held a Tigerian soldier by his face, watching the soldier thrash around and struggle desperately just to escape his grasp.

Seeing Blake, Brian's eyes revealed a glint of shock but it cleared just as fast as it came.

"Long time no see." Brian said with a confusing smirk that made Blake wonder if he was excited to see him or fight him.

"Yeah." Blake responded, unsure of what to say.

Both men stood in silence for a short while in an awkward silence before Blake finally spoke.

"Can you come with me?" Blake asked while fondling his white hair.

"Sure." Brian said without hesitation, leaving even Blake surprised. In a swift motion, he crushed the skull of the soldier and allowed the corpse to fall before putting away his gauntlets. Brian had no form of loyalty to the Synder empire especially since they took Blake and Castiel from him. His main purpose of fighting now was simply because he had stayed in the Synder empire all his life, so joining the Tigerian empire was impossible. It was also because he was lost and uncertain of the next step he was to take.

"That was easier than expected." Blake commented as he stretched his hand and tapped his shoulder, warping both of them to the pocket dimension where Carmilla was.

Seeing Carmilla, Brian finally felt relaxed. As long as she was safe here, he had nothing else to bother about. Carmilla too had a similar reaction when she saw Brian. Seeing him here helped her believe she was doing the right thing.

"I know where Tessie is but I can't sense Castiel anywhere on the battlefield or in Calton." Blake broke the silence but his words were met with an unexpected reaction.

The complex emotions visible in Carmilla's gaze intensified as she looked at Brian, hesitating to speak for a moment.

"Don't bother searching for Castiel, he is on Synder's side." Brian said in a stern but regretful tone.

"What do you mean?" Blake was confused. "Aren't you all on Synder's side?" He asked with a even more puzzled look on his face.

"It's a long story, just don't bother." Brian said while shaking his head. "We will have time to explain things later." He added.

Hearing this Blake couldn't help but frown. He wanted to ask a lot of questions but he had to bring Tessie over first.

------------

On another part of the battlefield, a massive trunk covered 200 meters (656ft). The trunk's height was about 50 meters sprouting thousands of aerial roots and a canopy that was 400 meters (1312ft) wide

Tessie who was at the top of the canopy watched as thousands of large roots erupted from below ensnaring, crushing, and impaling every living thing that came within its range.

Tessie had made the mother tree release sweet scents across the battlefield instantly sending numerous Tigerian soldiers into a frenzied state, making them unable to defend against the relentless roots.

Using the locator spell, Blake knew Tessie's location. He appeared above the mother tree and upon seeing the chaos taking place around he couldn't help but frown.

Likewise, Tessie noticed the presence of someone above her Mother tree, temporarily drawing her attention as she looked up but before she could make sense of what was happening Blake had already warped away.

Appearing at the location where Tessie was hidden, he performed a simple finger flick and the layers of the trunk where Tessie was hidden effortlessly opened up revealing Tessie.

Tessie's instincts were to phase through the layers of the trunk behind her, but on seeing that the intruder was Blake, her mind turned blank.
