Chapter 3 - Midnight Saviours

"Well Khaleed, you know it's our habit to arrive late." says Nathan.

"No no no no, you are mistaking yourself Nathan.It's your bad habit to arrive late.This time you promised me, you will arrive early, so I waited for you.But you idoit arrived half an hour late.You fool!!!" Taz yells in frustration.

"Ah!Sorry!!!" says Nathan in an apologetic tone.

"Well,it's good to see you guys.Now, Nathan, you take care of the horseman guy." Before Khaleed can complete his sentence, Taz interrupted-"And I will take care of that archer dude."Khaleed denies"No!"

Taz [shock] asks "What?Then what will I do?"

"Take care of this young lady" replies Khaleed.

"Wait...why me?"

Khaleed answers,"Beause you are good with ladies."Saying so, he charges towards Rami.

"Wait...but...ahm!!! Okay!" Then turning towards Sarah, he says, "Don't worry! I will not let them touch you." [Trying to be cool]

"Thank you!"

"What's your name my lady?" asks Nathan.[trying to flirt with her]

"I am Sarah Buckins, big brother."

Nathan literally destroyed in seconds.Khaleed and Taz laughs heartily.

Nathan [sobbing inside] "Well Ms. Buckins, we will protect you."

"Ummm...Thanks"

"You think we will let you take your sweet time?"says Faris.

Nathan [teleporting behind Faris] "Well, we don't!" and throw a solid punch right in the face of Faris."Damn it! That hurts!!!"yell Faris.

Khaleed declares,"Archer, I shall be your enemy."

"Well,then let it be." answers Rami.

Hence, begins the battle between Nathan and Faris and Khaleed and Rami.

Faris says to Nathan,"You shall see my true power." and then, Faris manifested a silver armor around him.A silver sword in his right hand.

"Well, you can also do that." says Nathan.Faris, without bothering, ride his skeleton horse and charges towards Nathan at very high speed.He swings his sword at Nathan but Nathan dodges it.He attack again and again.He attack at Nathan reluctantly.Nonetheless,all his efforts were futile because Nathan dodges all the attacks.The moment Faris get close to Nathan, Nathan just teleport behind him.

"You all are same.Just dodging without any attacking.You all are just cowards."yells Faris.[frustrated]

" Don't be so impatient.Remember, a little while ago,I punched you."

"So what?"

Suddenly, Faris realises that he can't move anymore.

"What is happening to me? Why can't I move?"

"See, I told you,you are just too impatient.I am a braclet user and my bracelet power is what I call 'Gamer'.By touching someone, I can control them like controlling a character in a game.

Faris [horrified] " Whaaat???"

"Yes, and since I punched you, O basically touched you.So now, I can control you in whatever way I like, that means I can also hurt you in whatever way I like.

" Nooo!!!"

Nathan makes Faris to himself continuously till he become unconscious.Simultaneously, the battle between Khaleed and Rami turns out to be like this-

"I shall kill you." declares Rami.

"You may try." answers Khaleed.

Rami smiles and says"Okay!" and turn invisible.

"Oh!So that's why you were shocked back then, when you realised that despite being invisible, I have sensed you." Khaleed starts laughing and says,"Now,you think you can strike me,right? No, you are absolutely wrong."

Rami shoots ice arrows towards Khaleed but he dodges it all.

"You see the moment you release your arrows, it becomes visible and to be honest I can still detect you where you are." says Khaleed and then unsheathes his cane, revealing the hidden blade and charges towards Rami and before Rami can even move, in a split second cut Rami through his chest.

Rami, surprised, panting and coughing out blood says,"So, one of your bracelet power is to sense and detect your enemies."

"Perhaps you are right, perhaps not."

Rami fall on the ground.

"So they finally take them down?" asks Sarah.

"Yes, they have.To be honest, Khaleed was more than capable to take down together but was holding back for your safety. Sarah is in disbelief.

"What's now?" asks Nathan.Suddenly,a mysterious man appears and throws a knife towards Nathan.

"Nathan dodge." shouted Khaleed.

Nathan panic and teleported from there.The knife hit the ground and disappears.Faris break out of the control and in high speed take Rami and flee from there on his skeleton horse.The mysterious man disappears.

"Should we follow them?" asks Taz.

"No, leave it." says Khaleed.

"What just happen?" asks Sarah.

"Although Nathan bracelet powers seem invincible, nonetheless he can't use two of his skills at once.So, when the knife was thrown at him, he teleported and the control over Faris broke, allowing him to flee along with Rami." explains Khaleed.

"Who is Faris and Rami?" asks Taz.

"Faris is the horseman and Rami is the Archer." replies Khaleed.

"That's my friend."says Khaleed proudly.

" I am sorry my dear friends."says Nathan in an apologetic tone.

"Well, it's not your fault Nathan.I am curious about the man who attack you and fled.Well, forget about that, let's first go to the base.Ms. Buckins, you are coming with us." says Khaleed.

"Okay!"

Half an hour later, in a house at 707 Apple Street.

"Welcome Ms. Buckins in the Midnight Detective Agency. " says Khaleed in a joyful way.

"First of all, I want to thanks all of you for your help.Without it, I couldn't hape escaped from them." says Sarah in a thankful tone.

"Oh! Plesse don't flatter us." says Khaleed.

"What to do now Khaleed?"asks Taz.

" First of all, I have call the 'Apostles'." answers Khaleed.

"What?Are you serious?" asks a surprise Nathan.

"Yes."

"I thought you hate them?" asks Taz.

"Only their way of working."

"Who are the 'Apostles'?" asks a curious Sarah.

"They are an organisation that protect the people from evil bracelet users."answers Nathan.

" So they are good people? "

"Yes." answers Nathan.

"So why does Mr. Amin hate them?"

"Well, it's because... " Before Taz could complete his sentence, Khaleed interrupted."We don't talk about that."

"Who is coming? " asks Nathan.

"Karim." answers Khaleed.

"Karim? That means it's even worse." says Taz.

"Why is that?" asks a surprise Sarah.

"Well, Ms. Buckins for your kind information, Karim is a pessimistic and ill-manner boy with a rude personality."

Suddenly, a voice come from the direction of the door."Look who is talking about whom."

At the door, we see a tall gentleman [taller than Khaleed] with a handsome and rather optimistic face wearing a proper clean suit and hat.He asks Sarah,"Are you Ms. Sarah Buckins? "

"Yes, I am. Who are you, mister?"

"Oh!Here he is." says Khaleed.

The man replies," I am Karim Amin.The 3rd Division Commander of the 'Apostles'."
