Nightshift 24: Recreational Field

Something told Luke that he really shouldn't have followed Masaru. It was that little voice, the little voice that told you not to touch that button, or pull that lever, or use that Fonic Arte when Tear was trying to sing a Hymn and possibly interrupt and doom your party to a loss, but Luke was still uncertain of this place. He had but a few newfound friends to place his trust in, and Luke knew that he couldn't go alone.

That said, Masaru looked so confident in knowing where the Sun Room was that Luke didn't think he could possibly be wrong. So Luke followed, like a good sheep, to the door that Masaru was leading them too.

Opening it, Luke was expecting to see Larsa and That One Girl, awaiting them with news of what would happen next. Instead, he was greeted by darkness. His eyes eventually adjusted to the weak moonlight to show a field.

"Uh, Masaru? Are you sure this is the Sun Room...?" Luke asked, sounding very worried. Now that he thought about it, that shed in the corner seemed kind of... familiar...

... Because this was the same field that they were in just hours ago!

"MASARU! I THOUGHT YOU KNEW WHERE YOU WERE GOING!!!"

Masaru was reminded of why he would never again even think to fight a Digimon without Agumon. This was a little different, though. He wasn't about to get eaten alive - this was one of his friends that was getting hurt! He wasn't really sure how well he could hold up against that thing, but at that point, he was thinking that it just plain was not worth it. It would be completely different if he were alone; he'd go after it relentlessly no matter what. But if it got worse...?

There was no way in hell he was letting that bastard do things like that to one of his friends, even if they weren't especially close or known each other for very long. Barely, but just barely, he was able to run in and pull Luke away.

"Come on, let's get out of here! This guy isn't worth the trouble!" he said, still pulling the other redhead away.

As a man, this was a disgrace, but what could he do? This wasn't the fight they were after, and they couldn't afford to get too beat up trying to take this guy down. They'd just have to get some revenge later.

Distracted by his burns, Luke looked up a little too late to see that the beast was intent on delivering the finishing blow. Of course, he wasn't going to let himself go down easily, but Luke knew that he wasn't going to get out of the way in time. He wrenched himself away and steeled himself for the worst -

But Masaru had reacted just in time and Luke was saved from being impaled by the creature's blade.

"Come on!" There wasn't any time to think, just react. That's what Tear told him, and Luke could finally see what she meant. He raced towards the door, keeping a hold on Masaru to prevent himself from falling.

It was his first night and he was already wounded! How did this happen?!

The sharp blade rammed into the wall, driving straight through it and embedding into the stone, and for the moment it seemed like Indra was stuck. The muscles of its mighty arm strained to remove the lance, and as Luke and Masaru retreated, the face mask snapped shut. They had gotten away... this time.

But there was always more prey in Landel's. Indra would never starve here.
