He slowly and silently drew back the bowstring, thankful that the compound bow made it easier to hold, and took aim.

-
Then, he saw a shimmer on his left. As he looked to his side he saw what appeared to be a mass of green that blended into the environment bringing a sax knife down towards him from above his head. [spoiler]RED ZONE.[/spoiler]
-
His enhanced reflexes kicked in as he swung his bow with superhuman speed, aiming his blow at the hand wielding the knife.
-
The knife came down prematurely to meet the arrow. The arrow deflected off the knife but the knife went flying out of the figures hand. Cannon then felt a punch to his gut as he finally saw the green cloaked figure in front of him.
-
Cannon stumbled back slightly before swinging the bow like a club at the attacker's head.
-
The blow was grabbed by the figures hand. He still shimmered with the environment almost magically as he blocked the blow then kicked Can in his chest.
-
Cannon released the bow to catch the foot and throw whiever this was down.
-
The tactic worked and the man fell to the ground. But Can saw another shimmer come from the man's hand as he drew what seemed to be a small knife from his cloak.
-
Cannon didn't bother to draw his own knife, not wanting to actually kill anyone besides his target ad he brought his boot down on the knife hand.
-
The man's hand was stomped into the ground and he let out a grunt. Then, he saw something move in be bushes ahead of him. Another shimmering figure came from the green and seemed to have a bow drawn on him. The arrow was released, but it was suddenly deflected in the air. A second arrow rested on the ground and Bella jumped from the tree beside Can, the tree he had taken cover behind. How did she get there?
-
Deciding he'd ask her about it later, Cannon hauled the man to his feet, pressya knife to his throat. "Fire again and he dies."
-
The shimmering body stood in the grass. Bella drew an arrow on her black recurve bow and took aim at the figure. "You...you bastard." The man called can. Can could see the bow in the man's hand still.
-
"Back off and I'll let him go." Cannon replied, keeping the knife close to the man's throat.
-
"So what, you can capture us and torture us for information? Ya right." The man questioned. Bella took a step forward. "We don't do that!" She told him. "Oh, a child soldier huh? You cultist bastards really know how to be real dicks don't you?" The grenwald insulted as he spat on the ground.
-
Cannon tightened his hold on the prisoner. "Well what do you suggest we do? You can't trust us and we can't trust you, so..." He lowered the blade slightly so it wasn't actually against the man's throat. "Back off and we let this one go."
-
Bella suddenly let out a gasp as she looked up at the prisoner Can was holding. "It's a girl!" Bella exclaimed. "You can't trust them!" The woman said. Can could see her stark looking face barely from under her green hood. "Don't do it!"
-
"Bella, lower your bow. No one needs to die today." Cannon said. Then lowering his voice so only the woman can hear he adds. "Look, I have no quarrel with the Grenwalds. I'm not a cultist, and I don't worship any damn dragon. But if you want to make it out of this alive, you've got to convince your buddy to back off." He whispered in her ear.
-
The woman went quiet as she listened to his words. Her mouth opened ever so slightly and Can couldn't help but notice a really odd sense of understanding on her face. Bella lowered her bow, and as soon as she did so the man drew his own and took aim at Bella. Bella let out a gasp as she froze in place. "Really stupid mistake!" He said. "Ethan! Drop the bow!" The woman told him. He seemed to flinch at the words. "What the hell are you talking about?! A hostage for a hostage! It's a very simple Situation!" The man known as Ethan said "We both know you are not going to kill a little girl, Ethan!" "What do you know Abby?! Maybe I won't kill her, doesn't mean I can't make the Tokage see sending kids to war is a bad idea...." "W-whoa just...calm down..." Bella told Ethan. "I...don't want to hurt you." "Ya, maybe you don't. But what about all your friends at home, huh?" Ethan asked Bella who seemed to be keeping her cool.
-
"You shoot and I'll tear you into more pieces than anyone can count, or you drop the arrow and your friend goes free." Cannon called, stepping between Bella and the archer.
-
"God damnit." Ethan cursed. The woman turned her head ever so slightly to Can. "Take me instead of him...trust me, you'll have an easier time." She whispered to him. Ethan continued to have his bow raised, but his draw shortened. "Fine. You win, bastard." Ethan cursed as he threw his bow to the ground. Bella quickly raised her own bow again as it's arrow was still nocked.
-
Cannon releases the woman. "If he tries to grab the bow, shoot him." He told Bella as he signalled her to back up.
-
Bella nodded as she kept her bow trained on Ethan. The man raised his hands up, as did the woman called Abby. "So? You have what you want. Now what are you going to do?" Abby asked Can. "Remember what dad said." Bella reminded Can. "We have a mission..."
-
"We beat them. Nobody hasvto die here." Cannon told Bella.
-
"No one has to die. But we can't let them escape either Canny." Bella told Can. Abby watched the conversation quietly as Ethan's face was visibly red from under its green hood.
-
"Right. Well we aren't in any position to take them prisoner, so what do you suggest?" He asked.
-
"Aren't we?" Bella asked. "We have weapons, they don't. We blindfold them and take them to the camp. Just like what happened with you when you got to the woods!" Bella said. She suddenly turned her head and her cheeks became a little flushed with anger. "I still can't believe you would hurt Canny like that! What did he do to you?! He was just a Shepard!" Bella began to say.
