Are You A Enemy?

"Well done guys", said the one with red hair called Elsword. I smiled as I finally was able to help after my upgrade.

"Who up for a celebration?" He said as he always said after a battle. Everyone nodded or agreed to him and follow him back to our place.

I was happy I can finally fit in, I'm no longer weak. When we got there I analyzed the ground area around us to make sure no one followed. I gave him the "ok" sign and we went in to the door beyond the sacred tree.

"Let's party and after we discuss what our next mission is to be. If we follow each mission, it should lead us to parts of the el crystals they been stealing", he said as he look on the mission board for any upcoming news.

"We're out of an ingredient", called out the elf girl wearing an apron and her green clothes underneath. She was known as an elf who was send on a mission to leave her kind to find source of el crystals to restore the sacred tree, Rena. "I need more of silver berries in order to make my delicious blueberry pie", she recalled as she knows everyone loved her cooking. "I know where it is, if someone go out and receive it for me. I can't leave this alone or else it will burn, we only have some limited resources. We need go out next time when we're free to collect more materials." She said as she was telling us a lecture. We all had to listen, she was the oldest one of us all.

"I can go," I raised my hand like I was answering a question she didn't even ask. She smiled and she was about give me direction how to get there but I stopped her. "That's alright, I know how to get there. Remember? I can used my computer." I said with a positive look. She just gave me a simple look saying alright. Everyone wishes me luck and if anything happen just send a message to the mission board.

I told Oberon and Ophelia to stay, Ophelia stayed but Oberon insist on coming with me. I had no choice, they were programmed to protect and fight for me. Ophelia was more obedience of my orders then Oberon. I didn't mind, at least I got company when I go out. I waved to everyone and they waved back as I walked out the door.

In the Forest.

I look around the forest that was similar to what I remembered when I lasted came here. I look around for like different types of trees to see if any of them matches the one on my computer. I loaded up my screen in front of me, it was like a hologram computer screens and keyboard. I'm still learning how to uses it, so I figured this could be a good practice. I look at my screen as it showed me a map of the forest and a pin point to where I was from the base. I started walking toward the direction it was telling me to go. I could hear the natural sound of mother nature and the birds chirping. I closed my eyes for a moment and kept walking like I knew the trial I was walking on. Suddenly I couldn't hear any birds making their sweep high pitch sounds and I felt a strong wind, passed by. I opened my eyes to regain focus of the trees around me. I looked around, I didn't spot anyone or anything suspicious. I put my hand over me and went around from my right to the left to call my computer. I typed to ask to scan the area around me, it took a second and it located someone or something. I looked at it very closely, was it wrong?

"If I'm reading this correctly, something or someone is right here?" I said softy and look straight forward to see if anyone was there. Nothing, was my computer incorrect? I may have to re-scan the area again, just when I was about to, I heard a voice.

"Nothing wrong with your computer, it telling the truth", a young male voice said, his voice coming from like he was above me. I looked up and there he was, the mysterious someone or something my computer detected. He was wearing mostly light purple with a golden outline and had a ponytail little pass his shoulder length. He was standing on some kind of weapons that made like a hover board put together. He came down slowly, standing right in front of me. He was a bit taller than me, Oberon suddenly went in front of me to protect me. "There no need for that, I won't hurt you... at least not yet." He said with a calm voice as he lifted himself from his weapons to the ground and they went up and around him floating beside him, just like my drones.

"Who are you?" I asked stepping back a bit to keep a safe distance from him. I observed him as he just look around curiously and just grinned.

"I'm Mastermind, how do you do my queen?" He said as he bowed down. What he seriously? I'm not his queen, who is this guy. He came a bit closer, but no more further actions as Oberon was about to attack. I stand right behind Oberon and just look at him to figure what he was going do next.

"Don't worry, I just came here to see what I want to see." he said as he gave me a quick look and then went flying above his weapons again and flew off. Before he left, he said "You will see me again, I'll be back!" as his voice got softer as he flew further away.

"I better get back to the hideout after I get these silver berries", I said softy to myself and founded it right there by a thin tall tree. I took it and walked a bit, but started to glide as I needed to rush back to tell them the news.

The Base.

I opened the door outward as it asked me for my name for security check, I told it was me and it let me in.

"Oh hey, you made it", Rena said as she saw me come in the door. She noticed I got the silver berries she needed as she took them from my hand and smiled. "Thanks, now we can have my delicious pie." She walked back to the kitchen and started cooking. I just smiled back and went to Elsword right away as he was standing by the mission board, waiting.

"Um, we might have company," I said looked at him with a worry face as he looked straight back at me. He replied, "Are you hurt, the person didn't try attack you did it?" I nodded my head, "No he just introduced himself as Mastermind and left saying he be back." I said looked around for a second and back at him. He looked up at the mission board when he heard the alert.

"Guess we got ourselves another mission and don't worry we will take care of him when we get back," He said as he went to notify everyone. Rena was bit downed as she was in the middle of cooking, but she knew whenever a mission come on board, to abandon any actions and get prepare. She settled down her cooking and turn the heat off and went to grab her bow and arrows. The rest did the same, getting their weapons and any materials they might needs. Elsword said, "You guys ready?" as he head by the door and everyone around him nodded and agreed. I nodded a second after the rest of them as I still had my mind worrying about him if he is coming back and when.
