The more X fought back, the harder and tighter the goon pulled. No way was he letting go of his future prize. “Stop squirmin’ would ye? It’s not like it’ll make any difference." The other good laughed, pushing the Gardevoir along, but she had stopped. "'Ey. Din't ya hear me? I'll cut yer friend up good if ya don't cooperate.” She turned, looking back and past her captors.
Kane stood there at the end of the alleyway, a shadow covering his face. The goon disregarded the Gardevoir, knowing she wouldn’t do anything since they had a hostage. ‘Oy! Are ya nuts mate? Ya think I’ll let go of mah future investments? There’s people we know that’ll pay good for a couple of slaves like those. Especially if that pokemon is a girl too." Kane’s shadowed hands clutched into a fist, the leather grinding against itself.
"Last warning…. Let. Them. Go."
The Ranger slowly approached them, leaving the shadow and into view. Kane looked like he had his face replaced. His usual serious and dutiful demeanor replaced by pure, cultured fury. Fransheska placed a hand on her head, remembering this emotion from his master back then. Back when he had his biggest failure. The largest amount of pain, suffering, anger and sadness she had ever felt. The rage she was feeling was similar to back then. She knew her master would save them. He would not fail again. “Lookit this lad eh? Thinking you can stroll around, waving ya ranger badge around thinking you have some kindof authority? Listen here and listen good mate….” The good approached, holding the knife to the Ranger’s neck. “We’re the law here.”
Kane’s eyes narrowed, quickly pulling the good towards himself, making the knife cut him across the cheek and landing a fury of blows from his stomach, to the chest, to the neck and chin. Finally, a sweep of the leg from the beaten man and landing him smack on his head, rendering him unconscious. The goon holding X, flinched lowering his knife for a second.
From the shadows, A Weavile shot forward, cutting the knife from the goon’s hand. “GAH.” Fransheska grabbed X by her hand and ran towards Kane, whom was running forward to the good. By the time the bum realized what was happening, Kane was already on him, unleashing a flurry and angered filled hits to his sides and solar plexus. Sliding his leg in between the goon’s and pulling his leg up, making the confused and battered man lose his balance and fall on the ground.
Trying to get up quickly, he was met with a swift kick to his arm which he was using to pull himself up, falling again once more. But as he was moving again, another kick to the chin. Now he was disoriented, dizzy, half conscious and beaten half to a pulp. The Ranger got on his knees and grabbed the goon’s hair. “You’re lucky I didn’t break your arms. Permanently.” He let go of the hair, letting the goon’s head hit the floor just to follow it up with his fist. Needless to say, he was knocked out.
Kane stood, looking over to his Weavile. “Good work, Nyula…” Returning her into her pokeball, he walked towards Fransheska and X. “Are you two alright?” Fransheska nodded, shrilling softly. Her master had gotten wounded for them. “Ah…. I’m alright…. It’s nothing serious.” That being said, he was bleeding quite a lot. And would probably need stitches.
