As Lucas spoke towards the Masked Man, asking something about âmemoriesâ and that name âClausâ yet again, he clearly mistook him for somebody else, for someone he knew. The commander said nothing return, keeping his cold, murderous glare over the boy. Perhaps it was all part of his Masterâs plan to confuse him, torture him through the identity of someone else and to use that as an advantage; to eliminate the target through the element of surprise and confusion.Â
But the words Lucas said had no effect on the commander, he was a living weapon that couldnât be reasoned with through words, he wasnât going to stop until his task was complete. Orders were orders, and that order was the eliminate the target, unfortunately the âquickâ and âsimpleâ plan had to be discarded, far too many complications had happened and the boy before him was still leaving and breathing, though at this rate, one more strike to lethal point on his body should finally end this.
The Masked Man was ready to charge at the boy yet again, literally happening within second intervals as the other child pleaded for âClausâ to remember. But before he was given the chance to attack once more, something small, brown and quick darted from behind jumping at him.
He felt a strong sense of discomfort coming from his left arm, quickly turning his head towards the source, it turns out that dog he previously encountered earlier was now attacking him. Suddenly, pieces began to fall into place.. this dog, it was the same dog that assisted âLucasâ and the two others during the Seven Needle Conquest. As the dog released itâs jaw, it quickly dashed and rammed itâs head into the commanderâs hip causing him to lose his footing for a second. Soon after, the dog now stood before the boy in a petty attempt to defend him. The commander glared at the animal, it turns out that this fight was no longer going to be one sided.. the Masked Manâs attention was now on both Boney and Lucas, it was already apparent by the dogâs snarling that it wasnât going to back down and flee like the mongrel it was. Assisting the target and standing in the way of direct orders only meant the dog was now in the same boat as Lucas, he was now another target to eliminate.Â
But before he was given the chance to attack them both, even more complications happen. Two unidentified men in what seemed to be robes stood in his path as well, one of them tended to his wounded target and seemed to be planning escape while the other stood before him beside the dog, he seemed to have a weapon in hand and looked he was intending to use them in battle.
The âLucasâ child had plenty of allies it seemed, so the information and intel he retrieved was wrong? This was extremely tedious and made the killing of the target far more difficult than it need to be, facing three to two targets at once without his weapon artillery and his energy blade was a challenge. Though it certainly wasnât impossible, though the dog had faced him before and was aware of what he could do, it was a mere animal.. facing him would clearly result in death, as for the two men? They were completely unidentifiable and were most likely new to the situation altogether, they werenât aware of what to expect so they could easily be terminated alongside the dog. But perhaps the wooden object given to him upon arrival would be useful now, unstrapping the wooden blade side and holding it in his left hand, heâd was ready to charge again.Â
The visor over his eye began to target both the dog and the man standing next to it, if these two were incapacitated quick, this would leave no time for âLucasâ and the other man to escape. The Masked Man without warning then charges at both Boney and Ezio, leaping off the ground and aiming an extremely strong kick towards the dogâs nose, a canineâs most sensitive spot next to itâs ears. After the attempt the commander leaves no seconds to spare, quickly swinging his wooden blade at the side of the manâs head in an attempt to either disorient him or completely knock him out with a head trauma.Â
This battle although with many people facing him was far from over.Â
