53 Battle between 3rd tier giants (1/2)

'Do you think it will work?' Lily asked as I sat atop a large tree with dense foliage.

'I don't see why it should not.' I said as I played with a leaf in my hands. 'The plan was rather simple.'

'All plans are generally rather simple.' Lily said with a scoff. 'You do realize that there are hundreds of ways that this could go wrong. Right?'

'Yeah. I do realize that.' I said and looked at the hundreds of mutant beasts in the distance with a bit of apprehension. Mutant beasts always seemed more dangerous to me because of their ability to see at night and their other enhanced senses.

'I had thought that these beasts would fight against one another and then go their own ways.' I said 'But from the looks of it, Jasvinder was right in assuming that the 3rd tier mutant beast will subdue the weaker mutant beasts.'

'He seems to understand these beasts like the back of his hand.' Lily said.

'That he does.' I said 'If only he was not so sullen all the time.'

'You are jealous of his abilities.' She stated.

'A bit. His abilities are enviable. I won't deny that.' I said with a tone of finality that brook no further arguments.

'Do you think the plan will be successful?' she asked.

'I'll make sure it does.' I said and watched as the sun set down and the first loud whistle was heard in the distance.

A short while later, I could see the movements in the distance. I narrowed my eyes and the silhouette of multiple abnormals entered my vision. I waited patiently for a few moments before another whistle was heard from the opposite direction.

I glanced back and realized that the mutant beasts have come into range as well.

'This should be enough.' I thought and blew the whistle as loudly as I could.

Suddenly, there was an eerie silence in the whole forest as if someone had suddenly put earphones and all outside sounds ceased to exist. That silence lasted only a few seconds… and then all hell broke loose.

Hundreds of abnormals and mutant beasts from both sides emerged out of the foliage in a crazed fashion and despite being hidden in a proper manner, I felt a bit of panic rise in my heart and had to check my hiding position once more.

'You're safe.' Lily's soothing voice rang in my ear and I calmed my mind a bit before blowing the whistle one last time.

A few of the mutant beasts and abnormals stopped suddenly and looked in my general direction and I felt the heart leap out of my throat but then the two group saw each other and then with a mighty screech and howl, both sides clashed.
