World End: The Successor's Contract

Chapter 20 Baby Zeno

?Zeno fell to the ground after tripping on a tree branch, "Get him!", he could hear the hunters moving closer.

He saw a small building a few kilometers away from where he was and immediately ran there, "Open… door!" He screamed as he kept banging it.

The door opened and right in front of Zeno was a boy, about the age of 16 wearing a red hoodie and blue pants standing in front of him.

"A kid?" Zeno questioned.

Feeling ticked off he grunted, "The name is Selvin, what do you need?" He noticed Zeno's bleeding arm, "Ohhh, You're bleeding" He shut the door behind.

Selvin saw the anxious look on Zeno's face and noticed he was looking at back alot, "Are you being chased?" Selvin asked.

Zeno nodded, agreeing to Selvin about his predicament.

Selvin sighed, scratching the back of his head before leaving the entrance for Zeno to enter, "Get in" He said.

Zeno walked in and sat down on the futon that was laid on the floor, the building was small with only a few necessary items needed for one person to live by.

It used to be a warehouse before, Selvin decided to move in,"So, where are you from?" Selvin asked.

"I don't remember," Zeno responded.

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know where I'm from"

Selvin laughed, ``You are definitely weird, who were you running from? the hunters?" Selvin asked as he went to get water from his kettle.

"Hunters?"

"Yeah, someone group of thugs who kill and kidnap girls, for some reason they love to kidna-" Selvin Screamed as soon as he turned to give Zeno water.

He dropped his kettle as his mouth opened in shock, Zeno has now turned into a little boy.

"No way, how did you get so little?" Selvin panicked, he placed the water on the counter and moved closer to Zeno, "Altine magic?" He uttered.

He placed his hands on Zeno's hair, and not long after the red crystal on his hands started glowing.

He took a few steps back, "No way, you… uhn? How? Ohhh wait, Hina still hears this?" He laughed as he started packing his bag.

"Come on, we gotta go" He held little Zeno's hand as he began to make his way towards the door.

When he opened the door, the first thing he saw wasn't really welcoming. He met multiple Hunters with different weapons in front of his hideout.

"Where's the boy?" Dazai, The leader of the hunters asked, he wore a black outfit with a mask to cover his face, his long black hair fell to his back and he complimented it with different bird feathers.

"Uhm… What boy?" Selvin asked, that was the only thing he could come up with at the current situation.

Dazai spotted Zeno playing with the bag Selvin was holding, Once Slevin figured out that they've seen Zeno he gave out an awkward smile.

"Blow away!" Selvin yelled as his eyes glowed, they all went flying and crashing to different parts of the forest.

"That's our que" Carrying Zeno, he started running towards the village he had intended to go to before he was stopped by the hunters.

But they were persistent, they started chasing him back, firing their arrows at them, while some were exploding, others were tracking and so much more.

"Block!" He yelled, and all the arrows started hitting the invincible wall, he ran as fast as he could with Zeno in his arms.

He could spot the village a few distance away, just when he thought he had gotten close, Dazai appeared in front of him and landed a slap to his face.

Selvin went crashing into a tress that made him go unconscious.

"You should learn to control that mouth of yours" Dazai turned to Zeno, "So this is the so-called Lord of a thousand demons? Successor of Creation and destruction? I must say I'm disappointed." Dazai laughed.

Selvin managed to gain consciousness, he saw Dazai placing his spear on Zeno's forehead, "Scatter!" He yelled.

Dazai's hands scattered, blood went flying everywhere, some even stained on Zeno's face.

"Wanted to let you go, but I don't know… you are starting to become a problem" He grew his hands back and charged towards him.

But the strike that Dazai aimed at Selvin was blocked by a woman with a sword. She had black long hair, a black top and a black jean short and black tights.

"Hina, to what do we owe this meetup?" Dazia asked before pulling his spear back.

"Get off my land" She gave him a cold response.

"Ouch, why so cold?" He frowned before laughing.

But Hina didn't bat an eye, she looked him in the eye, not long after the warriors of her village started to make their way there.

"We'll meet again, Hina Voulgard" He disappeared.

Hina sighed, "Are you okay? Where have you been, Mama has been worried sick" Hina looked at Slevin, assisting him to his feet.

"Look, that doesn't matter now" He responded, before dusting the dirt from his clothes. " This kid right here is …. Wait for it, he's the successor, the ruler we've been searching for, it's him" Slevin smiled as he told them.

They all paused as they stared at both Slevin and Zeno, Zeno was chasing a butterfly before he fell down on his stomach.

"You all should go secure the entrances, put up a barrier, so Dazai doesn't even get in as he did today" Hina ordered her guards.

"Hey! Don't ignore me, fine I'll prove it" He made the crystal on his hand visible and moved it closer to Zeno, and it started glowing.

Upon seeing this Hina's eyes lit up with joy, the guards all surrounded Little Zeno, each one playing and tossing him in the air.

"How did you find him?" Hina asked.

"I didn't, he came to me, when I touched him I saw some flashes, probably memories of my previous li-…" He turned to see Hina crying.

"Wow don't cry"

"After all this time,I finally found him…" She smiled, "these are simply tears of joy."

. . . . . . . . .

"Uhm, Andrew, how long do you think it's going to take?" Anna asked, she laid on the broken stones with her face resting on the ground.

"Not sure, this car looks almost impossible to fix," Andrew responded.

"Well, impossible isn't exactly getting us anywhere now is it" Uta jumped down from the building.

"Well yeah.. but.."

Uta groaned before kicking the car far away from their location,"Then stop wasting our time and think of something else!" She yelled.

"Wow, calm down!" Anna jolted up from her rest.

"I'm sorry, I'll go get it" Uta whooshed away.

"Don't! Bother, it's way beyond repair now" Andrew sighed, "Do you think she's okay?".

"Who knows, where's Ava?"Anna asked.

"I thought she was with you?" Andrew responded.

Ava came out of the school building, riding her Debestine "Woooh, eazy easy,She squirmed as she tried to control the snake.

"Hey guy check this out, I got Geko to lend me her spirit animal, how about we take this instead, it's pretty fast" Ava yelled.

Anna had a weird grin on her face as she watched her sis ride a giant snake, "You have got to be kidding me!".

"Hey not bad" Andrew ran to the snake, touching it's body with a smile on his face.

Ava whooshed back, carrying the car in her hand, "Here you go" She placed the car down.

"Yo Uta, check this out, we are taking a giant snake instead, whoooo" Andrew laughed as he kept riding the snake around the place.

"Are you kidding me!" Uta yelled in angry before kicking the car away again.

They all got on the snake, while Ava sat at the front, they took as many things as they could from the school, including potions and books.

"Okay, hang on tight now" Ava said, "Let's gooo!" The snake zoomed up, it was so fast that it felt like their faces were going inside out.
