White Knight Chronicles of the Queens Blade

ESKK: Yeap new fic is done aren't you all glad. Now than before we begin a few things first I'd like to thank mpowers045 for the title of this fic. I'd thought I'd be stuck on it forever. Next I'd also like to thank Mr. Unknow for helping me with this fic as he has. Despite his lack of knowledge on White Knight Chronicles he's been a major help and luckily I was more than happy to fill in said information and provide him links to the site he can acquire it from. And finally I will say this fic is based off the Overlord anime an awesome series that makes me wonder if there is a possible guild that can match the might of Ainz Ooal Gown. Now then let's begin.

(Start chapter)

White Knight Chronicles Dogma and Geonet2 the DMMORPG born after the end of the White Knight Chronicles Franchise. Utilizing the skill building mechanics and the online servers Geonet the game was well received. It provided players with a new level of freedom allowing it to stand up over other such games.

Here the player character you had constructed in the original White Knight Chronicles Games are revived with new life. The villages and Guild Halls that had acted as a chatroom now have more life in them than ever. They evolved into full blown NPC'S you can customize and order around. What was more notable was the game allowed for simple play mechanics and allowed you to build your towns and halls even further going as far as to connect them to those of your guild mates and friends.

It became a worldwide phenomenon popular for all players young and old. But now... after 13 years of operations our Chronicles was coming to an end.

The scene played out as it showed a battlefield of monsters as large Knight armors stood with MAGI warriors as well as Gigas's to boot. They surrounded three figures as one had a spear weapon called a Hero Spear and a dragon scale shield as he glared at his foes while endowed in his Hero Armor with ebony black hair pulled to a tail, tanned skin, and blue eyes, a female lady in Hachiman set and a magical bow with a glowing magic arrow in hand glasses over her violet eyes and emerald green hair in a small tail that were accompanied by a pair of cat ears and claw like Mark's on her cheeks, and leading them was a young man with messy black hair, chocolate colored eyes, and a fair skin tone who was wearing the Silver Plate, Knights' Cloak, Knights Shield, and the Grace sword.

They were outnumbered and out of their element as leading these foes were a group opposing players from a rival guild. "Let's do this!" The sword and shield wielder called out as it was time to go wild.

They nodded before summoning new items. The leader summoned a white gauntlet for his left arm with a dagger, the spear wielder let loose a lasso belt shaped like a dragon that began to fly around him, while the archer summoned forth a new arrow all of which shared an M shaped rune on them.

"O Wizel White Warrior wielder of the ancient Sword." The sword wielder chanted follows by the spear user.

"O Larvain Vermilion Drake Leveler of Ancient lands!" He chanted as the female was last.

"O Luthia ardent goddess and beacon of the ancient night." She chanted as all of them were surrounded by a magical aura and ring.

"Grant me your power." They all invoked as it was time to pull out their trump card. "VERTO!" They called out as the girl grabbed the bow and pulled back on the string causing the rune to flash and open up before she fired an arrow off. The spear user had the belt wrap around his waist where the dragons maw bit down on the rune causing it to flash to life as well, and the leader stabbed his dagger into his gauntlet and held it forth causing the rune to flash and open the shield as the runes image spun around into proper position.

Soon three giants of armor stood two-stories high in their place wielding a sword and shield, a trident, and a magical bow and arrow as they were shadowed by the battle around them. The three titans charged out and began the onslaught against their foes.

(Scene break post battle)

The MAGI began to vanish into pixels after defeat as did the other large armors and the Gigas as standing victorious was the three warriors as around them large Magical glowing arrows began to fade as despite the image the Trio looked quiet heroic facing a small army as they did.

Those days truly were the best...

(Start Guild Hall)

The sword user from before was sitting in his chair in the meeting room now devoid of life as in his vision he saw game icons and the timer for how long the game had left till shut down. Time ticked away as the Guild Hall had been expanded upon since the days of Geonet on White Knight Chronicles 2. Now there were multiple rooms and this Guild used each room to its full advantage. Three of them acted as the basic Shops for accessories weapons armor, general goods, and item binding.

They also had three rooms set aside for other things. One room for quest and bounties, one room for the guild shop, and one room for a Guild bank which was a new add on to this game when it was released. They also had a room like this for meetings as well as one for Guild events, and a throne room called the throne of heroes where he and his two friends sit when a guild war goes on.

He sat alone saddened as this was the last few hours of the game. All the memories all the laughs and adventures ended here. Soon he heard two sounds signaling two of his friends had logged in and entered the hall. He looked and saw them walk in and take a seat as he smiles to them.

"Dilan, Kaguya." The young man in his red armor greeted as he saw his friends walk in.

"Hey Aster." Dilan greeted as he and Kaguya took a seat at the table with him.

"Surprise to see you here especially with the final raw party invite." Kaguya said as Aster smiled a bit.

"Yeah..." Aster said as he sat back. "You know you guys missed Nene earlier but she couldn't stay long." Aster said as Dilan shrugged to this.

"Yeah I guess." Dilan said as this was a somber moment for them. "After this is back to RL 24/7 until they make the new game." Dilan said while Kaguya nodded to this.

"Yeah I still remember when we first formed this guild. We were just a small clan of players and our skills attracted a lot of attention." Kaguya said while she sat there with her friends.

"Yeah rules we had was that each member must have a full time job with a stable income and must be heavy players" Dilan said as this rule allowed them advantages most other guilds don't. They were pay to play players but their members made it seem like they were.

"In a few short hours it all ends." Aster said with a saddened tone to which his friends shared his thoughts.

"Yeah." Kaguya said as she sat there with her friends in sadness.

Soon Aster shot up and slammed his hand on the table clearly upset about this. "It's not fair!" He yelled letting his displeasure known. "We've spent so many hours grinding questing and hanging out here and here we are for the end and no one else shows up! Does all those memories even matter to them!?" Aster yelled to which Kaguya put a comforting hand on Aster even if it's all fake Aster saw it and calmed down. "Sorry... I guess it can't be helped." Aster said sitting back down for a bit.

"Hey guys let's look around and back in it all one last time." Aster said to which everyone agreed for now.

(Scene Break Throne room)

They trio explored it all, their hometowns, and even their hall. Their hometowns were specifically made to have advantage on certain items development. Aster's village specialized on farming with the fields and grape vines set up ad they were and enough workers and such to do so. Dilan had his town set up to have the surplus of ores and minerals and in turn providing them with things to enhance and fore weapons. Kaguya's village is set up for warriors and mages so that way they can have an income for monster found items like hides and teeth.

This allowed their guild to have a stable income of minerals and items for a wide assortment of tools. As they walked about the guild hall they saw the rune for their world map one which they set up to transport to their villages as needed. Good times for all in his opinion but then came another spot their defenses. Dilan had the brilliant idea for combat maids as their last line of defense but Aster argued and wanted Knights of the Round Table. Kaguya compromised with them so they had ladies who were Maids in the Hall but during battles they were knights as their armor had them mistaken for men many times over.

Leading them was the head guard as he stood there as the Hall had two forms. Lodgings and Defense for Lodgings it's pretty straight forward as the Guild Hall is in fact their HQ but during defense when a Guild War is on the hall becomes a Fortress with multiple levels opponents must get through to reach the throne of heroes.

Each level has a boss they must defeat and luckily they had yet to have anyone reach then end. Ironically even as the game was shutting down no one has gotten to the end. "Heh it's funny we never had to use these girls huh." Dilan said as Kaguya smiled a bit.

"Yeah but it's also sad to see." Kaguya said while looking to these NPC's.

"Hey remember this?" Aster asked pointing to a levitating sword in the primary meeting room.

"Yeah we all grinded like no tomorrow for it." Dilan said as they looked upon a sword clearly modeled after the White Knight.

"The sword of Athwan." Kaguya said to the weapon the entire guild worked so hard on.

"Yeap the symbol of or Guilds success, the everlasting victory of, The Soldiers of HOLY." Aster said as he then took the sword and equipped it. The sword wasn't really his go to but the Guild Rule had it so if they were being assaulted during a Guild War he would have to wield it for their defense if anyone manages to make it this far. It's to this day one of the most powerful items in the game created for the Anniversary Event which was where they gotten the Three out of the Five Knights from.

"Well no use wasting time." Dilan said before looking to the butler and maids. "Follow." Dilan ordered as the NPC's did as told before they entered the throne room.

Once inside they saw a long hall with flags hanging about with the emblems of each member who played a pivotal role in their Guilds rose to fame. Though it's the throne room for the Guild it doubled as both an event location and a hall of fame. The trio walked over to the throne and each looked upon their throne and smiled reminiscent of grander days.

"Stand by." Dilan said looking to the maids who then all bowed with the butler and took position.

The trio then each took a seat under their emblems before getting comfortable for a bit awaiting the end of their world. "Hey check her out." Dilan said gesturing over to the girl to the side who was a Farian in an elegant dress. Her race made evident by her antler like horns upon her head.

"Hey that's Fey, didn't Pochimochi make her?" Aster asked as Dilan smiled as they began to open the screen with her data.

"As the highest ranking member of the Throne Guardians she oversees all day to day business within the fortress to ensure everything is met to the Guild Members exact specifications." Kaguya read before looking to her friends. "Yeap definitely his work the guy has an eye for detail." Kaguya said only to glare with squinted eyes at the end.

"Yeap his work Alright he loves contradictory characters." Dilan said as Aster saw it as well.

"On the outside she is an elegant and loyal combatant but inside she is a totally nymphomaniac slut." Aster read aloud before face palming himself.

"Can't blame a guy for his tastes." Dilan said as Aster looked a bit.

"Wanna change it?" Aster offer as he had the sword after all.

"Hell the fuck yeah not like he'll get mad at us for doing it." Dilan said as Aster got to work.

"Ok... what we going to change it to?" Kaguya asked as the keyboard appeared before Aster who gained the administrative power with the sword.

"Hmm Fey is in love with the Dragon Knight Dilan." Aster said as Dilan heard this.

"Hey thanks!" Dilan cheered in response while Kaguya rolled her eyes to this.

"Boys." Kaguya said with a playful tone as Aster laughed himself.

"Yeah we're such dorks." Aster confessed as the three then shared a good laugh before looking to the NPC's before them. Aster then calmed down before looking to the flags before them. "Man now these will just become forgotten relics." Aster said clearly going to miss things here.

"Yeah we each had governing over certain aspects of the Guild, you were always the charismatic one Aster able to rally the troops, Kaguya was our Moon Eye brains able to handle financial and strategic plans, and me I was the guy who gets us out of problems our normal methods fail us at." Dilan said as Kaguya smiled to this.

"It's no wonder they made us Guild leaders here." Kaguya said as the Ninja Archer girl relaxed in her seat.

"Yeah we all worked hard so this place wouldn't be dust." Aster said as he then pointed at the emblems. "That's Wizer, then there's Daito, followed by Emiya-Zero, then Touch-This, myself, Artemis, Dilan, Nene, Mochipochi, Lord Lozer, Mommy-Mina and Kaguya." Aster said pointing out each flag.

"I'm gonna be sad to see this go." Dilan said sitting there.

"Same." Kaguya said but they both knew Aster will be just as sad.

"Hey guys... wanna stay on till the servers shut down?" Aster asked as Dilan shrugged.

"Sure not much to do after this anyway." Dilan said as he sat there.

"Well here's to us and all the good times we had." Kaguya said as they reach pulled a drink of wine from their inventory and toasted the past as they awaited the end.

As they began to feel heavy no doubt for sleep they saw as the minutes ticked away while awaiting the games end.

"I guess this is where our Chronicles end." Aster said as they finally allowed Darkness to consume them.

Unknown to them after the timer hit zero something strange happened... it re reversed and began counting upward from zero to 1. With it a mischievous giggle was heard as the voice then spoke up.

"Here we go again." She said with a smile as wings appeared in the darkness. "VERTO!" She called out as soon an oddity happened.

(Scene Break)

Aster, Kaguya, and Dilan all woke up again in a startle as they looked around. "What the hell?" Dilan asked as Aster spoke up.

"Did the Developers push back the shut down?" Aster asked as Kaguya tried to use her console but nothing popped up.

"The fuck? I can't use the console or contact a GM." Kaguya said as Aster heard this.

"What's going on?!" Aster asked shooting up before a new voice was heard.

"Is something the matter Lord Aster, Lord Dilan; Lady Kaguya" A female voice asked as Aster was wide eyed as he looked with Dilan and Kaguya to the NPC's who were still bowing to him with Fey looked to them with concern upon their faces.

'What?' They all mentally thought as they saw this.

"Lord Aster, Lord Dilan, and Lady Kaguya you seemed bothered what troubles you three allow me to aid you if something bothers you all." Fey offered as something wasn't adding up here.

Dilan and Aster soon felt their well what they assumed to be their dicks get hard but held back by their armor when they saw her bust squeeze together. "No it's just some information at came across." Kaguya said being calm knowing Dilan's main skill was diplomacy. "Tell me does the GM Call function mean anything to you?" Kaguya asked playing their characters roll flawlessly.

"My apologies Lady Kaguya but it does not." Fey said looking down in shame for she failed the heroes who she swore fealty to.

'Wow an NPC is moving and talking like a sentient being, and we're talking to her. Is this a bug or system error?' Aster thought and saw he and his friends had the same though but what had even caused this.

"Please accept my humblest apologies for my naiveté on such information." Fey said bowing in shame to her lords and lady.

"It's ok its only recent information nothing to be concerned over." Dilan said as he smiled to her causing Fey to smile.

"Kind and noble lord Dilan I am unworthy of your kindness." Fey said as no doubt the information inserted to them prior may take a great hold on these sentient NPC's.

"Mordred." Aster called looking over to Mordred and the Maiden Knights.

"Yes milord." Mordred greeted as they knew his information. He was the Knight of Betrayal who struck down his father and caused the fall of his Kingdom. In his guilt and sorrow he went into self-exile to punish himself for his act. He is the Knight of Betrayal, Sorrow, and redemption for he seeks to redeem himself.

"There seems to be something amiss scout around the Guild Fortress and confirm our surroundings. Maiden Knights you will split up and check with our villages ensure all is well with them, after that regroup with Mordred and see if anything outside the villages has changed if any new villages, landmarks, locations, or towns are there we want to know." Kaguya said strategizing on their situation.

'Wow they recognize commands not native to the game.' Aster realized as did Kaguya and Dilan.

'Whatever is going on something had made this real... but the question is how real we talking?' Dilan thought as there was only one way to find out. He had an idea they can't use the message function of access the network so the oy other way was to make the GM come to them. The game had a strict no sexual content rule if Dilan was right if he groped Fey or Kaguya they will be forcibly logged out or contacted by the system administration.

"What are your orders for me?" Fey asked looking to the trio.

"Fey come here." Dilan ordered as this caused a look of joy on the Farian's features.

"At your orders lord Dilan." Fey said overly happy for this as she approached Dilan.

'Wow she smells great... wait smell that was never part of Geonet G2.' Dilan thought as the Farian was in his face. "Fey may I touch you?" Dilan asked as he looked to the NPC.

"Oh of course milord." Fey said as Aster was surprised even more so when Dilan held her hand and felt it.

'Wait a pulse that's impossible... she's supposed to be an NPC run and controlled by an AI system how can this be possible?' Dilan asked as he glanced to his friends.

Kaguya got the message as did Aster and did the same to each other shocked as they felt each other's pulse as well. 'One last test to prove this is fake or not.' Dilan thought as he knew his friends waited with bated breaths. "Fey." Dilan began with a nervous tone as he looked to the NPC.

"Yes milord?" Fey asked awaiting her next order.

"M-may I touch your chest?" Dilan asked nervously as Aster heard the tone.

'Don't blow it Dilan.' Aster thought as he looked to his friend.

"Why of course my lord touch me in any way you like." Fey said presenting her still clothed chest to Dilan as he began to reach for her chest so his hand shook nervously to this.

Aster gulped and just then hand made contact with Fey's chest as she began to moan out from the stimulation. 'Holy crap.' Aster thought as Dilan kept fondling her breasts.

'This is impossible touch, pulse, scent, and even sentient NPC'S had all been impossible to program into games so that excludes all Geonet and game related options of what is happening.' Kaguya said as she knew one thing with Dilan in shock of it all.

"Dilan remove your hands from there." Aster began playing the role for now of a leader.

"Oh sorry!" Dilan cried out as Fey moaned in disappointment of that order a bit.

Aster then decided to take action as they had to discuss this. "Fey go and inform the floor guardians to be on guard. If anyone or anything sneaks in capture then for questioning." Aster ordered but he wasn't done. "I also want you all to have them meet in the 6th level in one hour." Aster ordered as Fey nodded and went to carry it out.

"As the lords and lady commands." Fey said before taking her leave of them.

Once Fey left the trio dropped their act. "What the fuck is going ok!?" Dilan asked as someone had to say it.

"If I knew I'd tell you." Kaguya said parting around a hit as they exited their thrones and tried to think of what was going on.

"Well it seems we can assume the same conclusions despite at how improbable it is it's our best bet." Aster said while looking to his friends.

"That we entered a real world version of White Knight Chronicles Geonet2." Dilan asked which it seemed obvious enough.

"Seems that way but let's gather what we know so far before assuming we're in the Kingdom of Balandor, or in the Dogma age." Kaguya said preferring to see what they do know before assuming anything or jumping to conclusions.

"Ok so we know we can feel, hear, and smell everything here as if it was real and clearly all 5 of our senses work as intended." Kaguya rounded up what they know physically. "We also know that from Fey alone the information created for the NPC's make it so this was their entire lives in a nutshell." Kaguya added on but Aster looked to her.

"But we don't even know if this applies to all of them and we also need to factor in their personalities developing into something that may be against us." Aster added as Dilan looked a bit concerned.

"So if this is all real then this will be something we can't just adjust to on a dime... we have everything about or characters memorized obviously but this isn't like the normal combat system we are used to where we select a command and our avatar's automatically does the rest... and if we die here unless Kaguya can use the resurrection spell in time we die for real." Dilan said as they knew that was a major thing to be concerned about.

"Well before we do anything crazy we need to know what we can do before we do it then we go from there." Aster said which Kaguya nodded to.

"That seems wise for now." Kaguya said knowing for strategic reasons they have to be able to understand their new 'bodies,' and know their limits.

"Then its decided we'll meet at the 6th floor hopefully the guardians for that floor are already there." Aster said knowing they will need those Guardians special skills for this endeavor.

But before they could move Dilan stopped as he realized something. "What have we done?" Dilan said as the duo looked to him.

"Huh?" Aster asked as Dilan then spoke.

"The NPC Mochi-Pochi made... we tainted it without remorse." Dilan said as Aster remembered them putting ow Fey was 'in love with Dilan,' before all of this happened.

"Not a concern to get over it besides if we left her as is we'd be dealing with a whore instead of a love-struck friend." Kaguya said as she made a good point knowing it could have been worse for them. "This will give us a time to test out a few basic items we have to see if they work, first let's head to the warp rune." Kaguya said taking charge to which the guys agreed on this.

(Later Floor 6: Stage of Trials)

The trio arrived at the large coliseum as it may seemed like they were outside but they were in fact in a sort of pocket space. The place was modeled after Greek with the Olympics coliseum as a focus point. They designed this place to not only act as a sort of training space but also where they can utilize mounts and such. With Geonet 2 they had the opportunity to take mounts from a selection of creatures from Horse, unicorns, to even monsters. The only restriction though was that the creature in question must have space on its back to put a 'saddle,' as it were, which meant it had to meet the Avatar's size and height ratio.

Despite Geonet 2 providing much freedoms they still had restriction they must abide by. But it was in this room they had placed two guardians here to not only protect it but also to handle mounts and combat training equipment here. The trio walked out as Aster looked around confused as to a missing pair of guardians.

"Ok if memory serves this room should be protected by Mommy-Mina's Farian's. That woman did have this odd obsession with the badass shota and badass loli crossdressers." Aster recounted as he looked for the twins.

"I personally think she wanted to be a MILF IRL." Dilan said accompanying Aster.

"Ok first of all both of you shut up, second of all gross, and finally remember why we're here. We need to see our limits and see if the others are loyal to us." Kaguya said knowing these people were designed to be loyal to heroic figures who earned their respect as the guild was meant for heroes and such.

Soon as if summoned a figure in a suit of sorts jumped down and spun in the air before landing in a dust cloud on his feet. "Nailed it!" He cheered making a double peace sign but when they looked to 'him,' they realized HE was a SHE quickly enough knowing of their odd friend in the guild.

"Yuna." Kaguya greeted as she looked to the little girl to which she did a small yet happy bow.

"Hello Lord Aster, Lord Dilan, and Lady Kaguya. It's an honor to have the Lords and Lady of All Heroes in the 6th Floor Amphitheater." Yuna said as she smiled to the three leaders. That was another thing about this room as it also served as an Amphitheater for PVP when used.

"Don't worry we will only be here for a little bit." Aster said no doubt testing Yuna on her loyalty.

"You must be joking right? You three are the Great Leader of the Temple of Heroic Spirit there isn't a guardian in the whole of these hallowed Halls who would consider any of you intruders least of all not my brother and I." Yuna said looking up to the trio.

"Obviously." Aster said before he began to look about. "Speaking of him, where is he anyway?" Aster asked looking for the missing twin.

When Yuna realized sit she looked over to the balcony where she knew her brother was located. "Yuto! You're being rude to our Lords and Lady here! Stop cowering and get yer ass over here!" Yuna called out to her brother.

"But Yuna it's so scary, come on!" Yuto called back while Aster saw this with amusement.

"Getting major Overlord Vibes here?" Dilan asked silently as Kaguya nodded.

"Oh yeah/No kidding." Kaguya and Aster said no doubt getting major vibes of that while watching the Farian twins interact.

"We better not be Momon or Ainz in this I'd rather keep the whole heroic adventurer street credit." Dilan added to this as that was agreeable for now.

"YUTO!" Yuna yelled in annoyance and frustration as she glared to Yuto from afar.

"Ok fine." Yuto said shyly before he jumped down and landed safely but messed up a bit.

"Jeez good grief." Yuna said as the tomboy was a bit annoyed by her brother's antics here. The group then saw the boy run over to them carrying a magic staff as opposed to her brother's sword. They saw that like her brother he was a cross dresser himself that made Kaguya wonder what Mommy-Mina was actually like in real life to make her creations like this. "Come on hurry up we're getting old here!" Yuna called out to which Yuto responded with kind.

"I'm hurrying!" He called out before the twins were standing side by side. "Sorry for making you all wait for me." Yuto said as he bowed to the trio a bit.

"Don't worry we were actually hoping you could help us with something." Kaguya said as Aster then drew forth the blade of their Guild.

"No way the Sword of Athwan which also carries the name as the Blade of Heroes! The weapon of this Castle!" Yuna called out as Aster nodded.

"Yes each of the items needed to make it whole can only be acquired through facing the monsters who guard it. But that is only the tip, one must also undergo a trial prior to this battle, and they must forge each piece of it individually and finish it in a certain amount of time. Thus this weapon has been long thought to be impossible to acquire outside of special events, until we proved them wrong. This blade is more than a powerful weapon or item it's the combined will and strength of this guild." Aster said while holding the sword in question as the twins had stars in their eyes.

"We want to test a few things with it as well as with our Knight Arks if possible. So we will need you to summon forth some monsters for us to face and big ones to boot." Dilan said to which the Twins nodded.

"Happy to help anyway I can!" Yuna called out ready to rock and roll but Yuto wasn't in on this plan.

"Ok bring us the Netherwyrm, Pyredaemos Rex, and Efreet and we'll go from there." Aster ordered as Yuna and Yuto nodded.

"Got it!" Yuna cheered ready to move to get the monsters they had in storage for that. They weren't the real monsters though just copies made from the data on them in the Monster Beastry once they had fought them enough.

"Oh and two more things." Dilan stopped them as the twins looked over to Dilan. "We need to face them one at a time so start with the Pyredaemos Rex, follow it up with the Netherwyrm, and end it off with Efreet." Dilan ordered to which Yuto nodded but Yuna cheered a big grin.

"Got it!" Yuna said understanding the need to be careful with tests.

"Also the other guardians will be meeting here so please be ready." Aster added for Dilan to which Yuna sighed in defeat to this.

"Does that mean Sophia will be here also?" Yuna asked clearly not liking Sophia much.

"Please don't be rude." Aster said to which Yuna nodded.

(A little Later)

The first to come forth was the Pyredaemos Rex as unlike its cousin that was used in Balandor this one was an alpha hence why Aster desired for this one to be his foe. It would allow him to test his new skills in a reasonable setting and with facing their foes one on one in turns this would allow Kaguya and Dilan to see if any other spells could work. The monster roared out in fury ready to fight for Aster was ready and knew to be weary with its crystal cannon on its back as it walked on six legs.

'It's weird I don't have my hub and I normally need it to access my skill sets and even then I can only use equipped skills but somehow I instinctively know them and further more I can use them without having to equip them.' Aster thought as he knew what to do. 'Yes... I can win this.' Aster thought realizing what to do.

*Insert Overlord OST NPC Battle

Aster charged forth and began to attack while keeping his distance and avoiding a possible counter attack. He knew to be weary as unlike others who played the game as long as he had liked to have a challenge when he undergoes events and quests hence why he enjoyed the game. Geonet 2's programming was specifically designed to always challenge the player regardless of how high a level they were. So in this the game adjusted itself to help balance out the game play and went as far as to remove all items in one's inventory that was acquired through other means or didn't exist in the games prior. This in turn forced many players to lose their Avatar's due to this fact and start from scratch.

Luckily Aster and his friends kept their noses clean in the game allowing them to pick up where they last left off or if they feel like it start from scratch. Aster ran around some more and slashed as he noted certain changes to this. For starters basic attacks such as slash, double, slash, and triple slash didn't absorb any of his AP or MP like he thought it would. Attacks that does not utilize magic or the sort only drained his AP a bit. But attacks that utilize magic for his combat style drained both his AP and MP. Luckily his AP he didn't have to worry about, and he had Kaguya to thank for the MP when she drilled into his head that MP was just as good to have in combat then a sword and shield.

So in turn Aster roared out and attacked with a fire slash as his magic lit the blade on fire and attack causing fire damage to the monster as it roared out. 'Ok my attacks work as normal... let's see what else I can do.' Aster thought before he charged up and climbed onto the monster. In the game he didn't have the ability to do this so he was happy as he, use an Ice Strike to its crystal cannon and then bashed it with his shield. Aster then jumped off as the Pyredaemos rex roared in fury and continued its assault on Aster who was at the ready.

'Though the draw back to all of this is the fact that since this is now, 'my body,' I can't utilize my skills like I use to because in real life I never handled these weapons outside of Cosplay Conventions.' Aster thought but despite this he still looked like he knew what he was doing as he was mimicking how his character would stand in combat while wielding a sword and shield flawlessly.

(With Kaguya and Dilan)

"Well he looks like he's having a blast." Dilan said as he saw the battle play out while Kaguya was doing a few tests of her own.

"Message, Dilan." Kaguya invoked as soon Dilan heard her in his head.

"Wow!?" Dilan cried out as Kaguya smirked to this before moving her fingers to her temple.

"Seems to work similar to a communicator useful to have... but it seems to only connect to you guys." Kaguya said before removing her fingers seeing how the trick worked now.

"So no one else go there but us?" Dilan asked worried for the other guild members.

"Seems that way." Kaguya said before she felt a ringing o her head shocked the call went through still.

"Lady Kaguya." Mordred was heard to which Kaguya had to respond.

"Mordred any news?" Kaguya asked as she walked a bit.

"Yes... but I Fear it is not good news." Mordred said no doubt hearing certain information.

"Very well... gather the Maiden Knights but leave a few at our villages for protection then meet us at the 6th floor we are having a meeting there." Kaguya ordered to which Mordred understood.

"It shall be so." Mordred said before the call ended.

(Battle)

Aster back flipped away before raising is shield to block another attack from the crystal cannon grateful his Kaiser Shield was up to the task and stood its ground. "Ok." Aster began before cracking his neck a bit hearing the joints pop back into place. "Let's end this." Aster said as he sheathed his sword. Aster then focus on his shield and was rewarded not long after as the shield was replaced with the White Knights Ark followed by the dagger for it in his right hand.

(Yuna and Yuto)

"No way is he going to use it!" Yuna cheered as she always loved seeing the White Knight in action.

(Battle)

"O Wizel, White Warrior. Wielder of the Ancient Sword Grant me you're Power." Aster chanted before he then stabbed the dagger into his gauntlet and held it forth. "VERTO!" He invoked causing the gauntlets shield to split open and released the crest for the Yshrenian Empire but upside down. The crest now a runic symbol fixed itself by spinning upright and in turn commenced the transformation.

*Insert White Knight Chronicles OST: Pale Hero

A magical circle appeared around Aster as it spun around at his feet. He wasn't done as he was calm before he did a little show of it. He raised up his left hand much like Leonard did when summoning his Knight as it mimicked his movement. As Aster's Knight rose up he began to float to its chest while the two spread their arms out ready for what was next. The two then crossed their arms completing the union before the White Knight began to stand up with the Runic Shield on its left arm. Despite the other guild members disagreement with it Aster made good use of it and the new systems for the game that made it so the attacks available don't always have to depend too heavily on the combination of weapons the knight has.

While the White Knight stood up its azure blue cape shot out from its back in a flutter before its eyes flashed to life in a blue glow at its helm. The White Knight began to take a battle stance as it reached for its waste ready to draw a weapon forth. 'Talion is the sword I save for opposing Knights, Falcyos I save specifically for the Sun King and I don't want to overkill with my other swords... nor do I Want to use White Steel, or the Elder Sword... well the Ignition Sword does need time to play ok I decided.' He thought as he drew forth his weapon.

Aster drew forth the Ignition Sword as the topaz yellow Knight Sword was one of the first few he had Binded after he reached the end of WKC2 before all of this. His first alternative Sword was in WKC1 with the Sword of Malice. "Ok come and get it." Aster was heard through the White Knight as he took a battle stance.

The Pyredaemos Rex roared in fury before charging at the White Knight who blocked the attack with its shield. Aster with a roar then pushed the Monster back before he slashed at it with his sword. The White Knight then proceeded to avoid the next attack from its Crystal Cannon before getting ready. Once it was in position the monster began to fire its magic cannon in consecutive bursts. But with the shield raised the White Knight charged forth keeping the shield up until he was close enough.

Once the White Knight got close he slashed wide on the monster as Aster noted other changes in this system. 'No targeting system this time which means I cannot really on range spells or attacks to hit true like I used to.' Aster thought while testing the limits of his new form. "Ok that's enough for now let's finish this." Aster said before he got ready by jumping back. He ran to the side around the Pyredaemos Rex before he stopped in a skid and then began charging at the monster. Before it could react Aster jumped over it from behind and then after slicing through its cannon proceeded to decapitate it before landing safely away.

*End OST

The head fell down while the body fell limp and vanished into nodes of light to be used for later. "Way to go Lord Aster!" Yuna cheered out just before the White Knight kneeled down and vanished leaving Aster in its place.

Aster looked at the Knight ark still on his arm before willing it to vanish back to its storage in a flash of light. Once it was gone Aster nodded before looking over to Dilan and Kaguya. "Guess I'm next." Dilan said just before Aster walked passed him and rejoined Kaguya.

"So any updates?" Aster asked while looking to Kaguya.

"Save for what we already know it seems our spells all work as intended with only minor differences." Kaguya explained after her test with the Messenger Spell. In game Lore it was meant for allies to contact each other during a quest to better coordinate their abilities. The Owls of the series also helped with that seeing as they can act similar to a video call. But in actual game play it was meant for players to stay in contact in the game world similar to instant messaging or private messaging.

The spell seemed to have taken more of its lore then its actual game use but that was only the tip of the iceberg for now. They did not want to risk a long journey just to test one spell so for now they had to put that on the back burner of things. "So what did you learn?" Kaguya asked looking to Aster knowing he must have learnt a few things.

"My attacks and stills work as intended but now I don't need the user hub. This time around I instinctively know my MP and AP and how much each one costs to use." Aster explained to which Kaguya nodded in understanding. Though I haven't tested the Knights in a long lasting battle to see if they are still restricted by the MP gauge before being disengaged automatically." Aster explained to which Kaguya took note of this.

"So we can cancel the test for the last two foes then?" Kaguya nodded as the twins were summoning the Neatherwyrm.

"For now but let them summon it anyway give them a treat." Aster said to which Kaguya nodded in understanding. "Dilan come back here!" Aster called as Dilan stopped half-way as the twins were getting their Neatherwyrm ready.

"What?!" He asked in shock as he wanted to bust out Larvain here.

"We got the data we needed." Kaguya explained as the Twins heard this.

"What?!" Yuna asked in shock while Yuto was sighing in relief.

"Don't worry you can still bring the Neatherwyrm foe but this time you can face it yourselves." Aster smiled to which Yuna grinned big time.

"Alright! Here it comes!" Yuna cheered just before a poisonous miasma was shown before from its fog the Neatherwyrm shot out. The false Dragon born of Yshrenia roared in fury ready to slaughter and bring forth a blight regardless if it was a fake meant for training.

"Oh I just remembered I have some errands to run." Yuto tried to get away only for Yuna to stop him.

"Come on!" Yuna called out Yuto cried a bit not wanting to get involved in his sisters antics.

Yuna pulled out the Dragon Spear the weapon that can pierce the Neatherwyrm's hide as in lore it was a gift given by the Matriarch of Dragons to those who pass the Dragon's Path. The two charged at the monster looking forward to a good work out as Aster, Kaguya, and Dilan watched on.

Yuna cheered on as she spun the spear about with ease. But her first attack missed causing her to fly back from the Dragon's first attack as well. "Yuna!" Yuto called out and casted a barrier spell protecting Yuna from the attack.

"It seems stat boosting spells also have changed but still work all the same. The barrier meant for boosting defenses can act as an actual shield now." Kaguya noted seeing as she was the only one out of the tree to study Black and White Magic's beyond her Archery skills.

Yuna then roared out and ran the fake Dragon clone through with the spear straight to the heart before it roared out one last time and fell as the twin Farian's were now exhausted. "Man I haven't worked out that hard in ages." Yuna said as Kaguya smiled and pulled out a pitcher and two cups.

"Here you two deserve a drink for a hard workout." Kaguya offered to which the twins smiled and took the drink in question.

"Thank you!" They both said before taking the drinks in question. BUT as they finished their drink a portal appeared and from it a young woman in a full dress of noble attire walked in carrying a parasol as her long pink hair flowed. She looked to be of the 16th century or 17th century during the time such styles were popular.

"Oh my I'm the first one here." She said as her pale skin flowed showed herself to be flawless.

'Sophia Blooddriver. She is a guardian who was based to be a Dhamphire. She is a noble lady by birth but a bastard by conception according to her character bio. She became well known in her time as a Vampire Huntress and a paranormal detective by adopting a second persona who would be male. That way she can work without worry of being discovered.' Aster said as he looked to the girl in question. 'She is sensitive to sunlight but she can roam about it as long as she has proper protection if she plans to be out for long.' Aster mentally reminded himself knowing of her skills.

'That is true Aster.' Kaguya added as Aster yelped a bit but silently. 'Don't worry it seems as leaders we can use the Messenger Spell for a Private Chat in the form of a mental link for now.' Kaguya said to which Aster noted how that was useful. 'I feel we should also add that it appears the NPC's are all loyal to us out of both honor and respect for our deeds and actions.' Kaguya said through the link to which it was understandable.

'So I guess we need to keep playing the roles of proper superior's then.' Dilan said through the link to which Aster nodded.

'Appears so.' Aster said through their link as it would be for the best until they can figure out what was going on around here.

"My lords," Sophia as she came up to them, in a well behave manner while making her parasol vanish as she let go of it, as she soon hug all of them at the same time as they were group together, as Aster is surprise for a small half vampire girl she has some strength to her as she said to them, "My lords I'm happy to see you three again, Aster the great leader, Kaguya the goddess, and Dilan the man who I love."

"Sophia, why don't you give it a rest?" Yuna said to Sophia as the Dhampir girl let go of them as they all took a quick breather with Sophia turns to the female Farian twin as she said to her, "Oh little shorty. You're here as well?"

Yuna took a bit of an office to that as Sophia went on saying, "It must be difficult, Yuto, to have such a crazy older sister."

"Tch... fake boobs," Yuna said as Sophia turn to the sister with the three members were shock to hear that as well as Yuna smile to that victory of hers as she said, "Looks like I was right! That why you went through the trouble of using the hate to get here, you were in a hurry, but since you overstuffed your breasts, they would shift if you ran."

Sophia held her chest to it seem the where fake as she said to Yuna, "Shut your mouth! You have nothing yourself!"

Yuna smile and said, "That because I'm still young, as me and my brother are in our young adult stage, give some time, and I'll have a bust, you grow up more slower being a Dhampir being over a few hundred years old, and your still looking like a child."

"Why you!" Sophia walk over to Yuna as they started arguing over about boobs as Aster lean over to his friends as he said, "I forgot, did Sophia creator and the twins creator had a thing going on between them before?"

"You have no idea, for time all the times I had to hear them argue over the 'open Chat', driving most members on that up a wall," Kaguya said with Dilan said, "That's one argument I would not dare to help solve because of what they talked about."

"I guess their rivalry transfer over to their characters as well," Kaguya said as Aster rub his nose to this and said, "I wish there was someone or something to make them stop."

Suddenly heavy foot steps are heard as the trio and the floor guardians turn towards the sound as they saw a large NPC characters as the trio knew it who it was.

"That's Logos he was created by Kogara." Aster mused remembering him. "He's a major warrior and is a lot like a hero version of that Bug Guy from Overlord." Aster said as he saw the mentioned figure walking forth. "Basically the personification of a warrior of justice." Aster mused knowing of him well enough.

"You two stop bickering. Is that anyway to act before the Heroic Lords of our Halls?" Logos asked while glaring at the two while carrying his war axe as this caused the two bickering sentient NPC's to stop their argument.

"Kind of Nostalgic though if you think about it." Dilan commented but then Kaguya spoke up.

"But still should we be in another world should we try to find a way back?" Kaguya asked as that was a question that bugged her to no end.

"Heh... let me think about it." Aster said but the answer was obvious... Hell No! Aster can't say the same for Dilan and Kaguya but he did not have much to return to save for a career that made him a valuable part of society... just another gear in the world's machine. Here he has the chance to be everything he wanted to be.

'We best be careful in Geonet 2 we were maxed level we have no idea how powerful we are here especially since this world no longer has the balancing system to keep players evened out.' Kaguya added to which the group agreed on this subject.

"Wait look." Dilan said as they saw Fey return and with her was a man in a suit that had armor around it. He was clearly human to accompany Fey's Farian race as he smirked. "That's Sebastian named after the character of Black Butler he's the very definition of classy. His loyalty is without question because even though he does this for the rewards and benefits he never breaks the contracts he's in or goes out of his way to find loopholes." Dilan commented remembering the guy who created this classy ass NPC.

It wasn't long till Mordred arrived as with this they were all gathered save for the Maiden Knights who were given their orders to stand guard of the villages and the fortress.

"Now..." Fey began as she walked forth. "We shall begin the fealty ceremony." Fey began as it was clear they had their way of doing things.

"Sophia Bloodriver… heroic guardian of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd floors. I bow before the Great Soldiers of Justice who saved me from my shadows and past." Sophia said as each NPC was made unique as to their reasoning's of loyalty even though they were created by the Guild Members. To them they weren't exactly created but rescued and reborn to be the closest to standing among them.

"Heroic Guardian of the 5th Floor, Logos. I kneel before the Great Warriors whose skills and wisdom of battle far surpass my own." Logos kneeled as he swore his loyalty to the trio.

"Heroic Guardians of the 6th floor Yuna Haven." Yuna began as she looked to Aster, Dilan, and Kaguya.

"And Yuto Haven." Yuto said walking forth as he and his sister were giving their loyalty to the trio of players.

"We serve those who brought us a home and family." They both said while bowing to them as Aster sometimes forgot that Mommy-Mina despite her tastes was a good soul at heart and knew where to draw the line on her fetishes.

"Heroic Guardian of the 7th Floor, Sebastian Kalos. I swear loyalty to the ones whose riches are born through the deeds of purest light." Sebastian said kneeling before the trio as they watched with a calm expression on their faces.

"The Leader of the Guardian Spirits of Justice, Fey. I bow before the heroes who gave me purpose and love." Fey said while kneeling to the trio who saw the whole thing play out. "Other than the guardian of the 4th Floor, Gargantua and the Guardian of the 8th Floor, Gilgamesh all Guardian Spirits of Justice have gathered and bow before your shared greatness." Fey said before looking to the trio calmly. "Order us as you three see fit... so long as you remain pure as heroes and seekers of peace and justice we are eternally loyal to you." Fey said to which the ritual has finished.

"Good you've all gathered that means we can get to work." Kaguya said as Fey heard this.

"Your thanks are wasted upon us Lady Fay it is us who owes our thanks to you." Fey said as Aster then spoke.

"So long as you can perform your duties to maximum performance then you have no worry of our expectations." Aster said showing how he put great faith in them.

"You honor us." Fey said as the other guardians smiled to this.

"Now rise we have a situation that is still unknown to us." Aster said as Mordred heard as well. "As it stands the situation outside of the Guild Hall and the village it is based in is unknown. We have found ourselves in a Great Plains that we were not located in before. Knowing this we may very well have been transported to unknown territory somehow if Mordred's report is as accurate as stated." Aster said taking charge as Mordred then spoke once more.

"There is more... the villages we were once connected to save for our guilds access village, Lady Kaguya's village, and Lord Dilan's village have been moved to similar locations they are accustomed to the Maiden Knights have been deployed to each of them to help keep things calm and orderly as we work to gather information. Though it is outside me reign of command I had ordered them to keep the villages from farming, hunting, or mining until we can better deal with the situation." Mordred said as Aster nodded to this.

"Good that is for the best." Aster said before Mordred moved his right index and middle finger to his head.

"It seems there is more. Lord Dilan's village is being approached by Dwarven folks the Maiden Knights stationed there are keeping them at bay but it seems they think us trespassing considering we had already mined a new metal that is unfamiliar to us. It seems it may belong to them." Mordred reported as Aster nodded in confirmation.

"And what of my village?" Kaguya asked as the Warg girl looked to her subordinates.

"Your village seems to have neighbors, our hunters were attacked by an Elven girl and luckily the Maiden Knight scared her off and returned the hunters to the village." Mordred said to which Kaguya nodded.

"It seems we may need to divide and conquer or at least stiffen the situation bit to at least let our new neighbors know we mean no harm." Kaguya said to which Aster nodded to this.

"Very well we need to strengthen our defenses. I understand I have warrior and mages within my village from the Adventures Guild we will work with them and start enhancing our defenses. The gate is sturdy but would not survive an assault and despite it being in an enclosed location we will need a patrol set up." Aster said to which he then looked to Fey and Sebastian. "Fey Sebastian you two shall be in charge of this project work with Mordred to better coordinate things around here and help coordinate the Maiden Knights." Aster ordered to which Fey nodded.

"It shall be done milord." Fey said before Kaguya looked to the twins.

"Yuto and Yuna you two will contact the Binder Frog and have him construct us a defensive wall if he requires anything for the wall make sure to hand the wish list over to Logos." Kaguya ordered before she looked to Logos and Sophia. "Logos Sophia you two shall lead the patrols while gathering up the mentioned wish list Sophia seeing as you have command of dark creatures use them in the night to better patrol where our fellows cannot see." Aster ordered as Sophia smiled to this in response.

"If the Lady or Lords order it then I shall do so." Sophia smiled ready to move out on command.

"Good the rest of us shall work on stiffening the situation and learning what we can from our villages." Aster said as it was agreed upon in this role of action. "But before we depart tell us in your own words one by one why do you serve us?" Aster asked as he looked upon the Guardians expecting an honest answer. "Sophia." Aster said looking over to Sophia.

Sophia smirked before speaking up to her lords and masters. "You three are the embodiment of strength and beauty. The Pale Hero, the Crimson Dragon, and the Silver Goddess none may match you dead or alive." Sophia said as she praised her leaders on this.

"Logos." Dilan spoke up to which Logos nodded.

"You three understand the code of warriors better than anyone else. As adventurers and heroes you fight with everything you have to complete the task at hand regardless of the foe before you, you face it and stand victorious. This is why you three lead the other Noble Heroes and remained with us after they left." Logos said before Kaguya looked over to the twins.

"Yuna and Yuto?" Kaguya asked looking to the two in questions.

"Kindness and compassion given form." Yuto began smiling to them.

"But with it Strength and courage." Yuna added as the trio were pleased with the answer.

"Sebastian." Aster asked as Sebastian smiled to this.

"Despite my misgivings of your three individually when united you are everything I hope for once you have a plan you set forth on it acting as needed and remaining three moves ahead. Most of all never breaking a contract if it can be helped." Sebastian said causing a smirk to appear on Aster's face on this.

"And what of you Mordred?" Kaguya asked as she looked over to the butler.

"You are loyal to a fault. While the others had left you three remained with us." Mordred said as not it was time for Fey.

"And finally, Fey." Aster said looking to Fey.

"As Mordred said while the other great heroes left you three the highest of their ranks remained granting us your compassion and kindness to us who have been given redemption for past deeds we are not proud of." Fey said as with this they had the answers they desired.

"Very well you've all gave us your thoughts and your orders have been given. Move out but exercise caution we know not what we are dealing with." Aster ordered before the trio used a rune gate and ported away.

(With Aster, Kaguya, and Dilan)

"Ok... that was intense." Aster said as he never felt so stiff before.

"Tell me about it." Dilan said stretching a bit before Kaguya's ears twitched a bit.

"Oh dear." Kaguya said causing the boys to look over to her.

"What's up?" Aster asked looking to Kaguya.

"The two ladies are arguing which would fuck you two while some of the males are boasting about serving our bloodline and heirs." Kaguya said as she then sighed. "I believe Logos is boasting about being 'uncle Logos,' or something along those lines." Kaguya said before sighing a bit. "Seems I have animal like hearing now if Logos has it as well as the other denizens of the guild we best keep our OOC conversations private as possible." Kaguya said to which Aster nodded in response.

"Well then we have our plans we'll need to work on our parts so I better book it before they try to give me some escort." Aster said as it was agreed for now.

(Scene Break Aster)

Aster had been walking for some time as it was morning when he left as now it was mid-day. Aster noted his stats had not changed much seeing as he mastered the sword and shield skills he had taken time in game to master the other skills to mastery. With this he had use of all weapon and skill classes which would allow him to be a formidable foe in battle. But seeing as this was his body now he did not have the benefit of a controller to make his character do the battle for him. Despite his better judgement it would be best for now to hold back not only for his opponent's sake but his allies as well.

He has great power in his body yet his mind is not used to it despite the information being downloaded straight to his mind. In other words if he goes in recklessly he risks more harm than good. "Kind of feel like a noob who Payed to Win." Aster said nostalgically as he looked to the clear blue sky.

Despite all of this Aster walked down a mountain path as he continued his musings. He knew that this body does require rest and food just like his old one further more despite this he still retained the White Knight's Ark so that would mean he was its pactmaker despite not undergoing the test for real. HE did undergo it for that event to attain the ark and thus he became its pactmaker then. Though despite this there was still many unknown variables to take into consideration. But for now he would just focus on his travels until he reached his destination wherever that may be.

For now this was just a scouting job to see what is in these lands as right now he was traveling to where he assumed its borders would be. That way he can use that as a focus point to judge how big this plot of land is and in turn learn of if there are people here and with it learn who leads the people on this plot of land. But as Aster walked he soon began to notice the road was more stone then anything which meant civilization followed by people.

Aster continued walking till he saw it as he hid behind a rock and saw what appeared to be a blond haired woman battling what looked like a pink girl who seems similar to slimes. As he saw the blond girl slash the slime girl Leon's assumption was proven right as he saw the slime get slashed but no blood came out. Leon waited for an opening as he saw the blond haired girl was getting her ass handed to her. But Leon knew inside that he had to be careful less he gets on the receiving end of the slime girls sword.

Though Leon wouldn't deny that girl the blond haired one had a sort of beauty to her, one he could never seem to find in his world. Aster smirked as he just waited as that was when he heard something. "What is that you want?" The blond haired girl asked as she was knocked to the ground.

"Oh don't be dense I'm crushing the most powerful fighters from across the land any who to compete in the Queens Blade." The slime girl said as that caught Aster's attention.

'Queen's Blade?' Aster mentally asked as he heard this and took note of it for later.

The blond haired girl seemed to have similar thoughts as she asked the question Aster himself was wondering "What is this Queen's Blade?" The blond haired girl asked as she never heard of this tournament much.

"For years the world's finest warriors compete in a battle for the right as Queen and it's about to begin again." The slime girl said as Aster saw what this meant and how they could possibly use this through Kaguya if she so desires to enter. "This is disappointing based on your scent I thought I would be fighting Claudette the lead candidate for Queen. Why do you smell like her?" The slime girl asked as Aster was ready to strike as this could be a good chance to see how quest systems work around here. Aster knew if this girl had the same scent of this Claudette person then logically either she had been in close proximity to her for long periods of time or they had blood ties. Aster knew this blond haired girl didn't stand a chance just as she charged at her which the Slime girl avoided with ease before moving the hair/hands/slime on her breasts to reveal them as she then gave them a squeeze causing them the squirt out some liquid slime which he blond haired girl blocked with her sword.

But the sword was melted by the slime as a result as some got on her cloths burning them till she was without her shirt and her breasts were bare. "You wicked little monster!" The blond haired girl called out as she removed her shirt which caused a reaction from the slime girl.

The Slime Girl then charged at the blond haired girl before she grabbed her neck and lifted her off the ground while choking her. "What did you say? You just called me a little monster didn't you? No one who's ever said that lived long enough to regret it." She said as the blond haired girl was struggling to breath. "I'm going to kill you now it's the only way I can be sure you won't cause me anymore trouble." She said as the blond haired girl was losing strength. "Say goodbye Leina." The Slime girl said but unaware she gave Aster the opening to strike.

"Ice Slash!" Aster invoked as he slashed down on the arm causing it to not only be sliced in two but freeze up as the slime girl was shocked to see this.

The slime girl was shocked as Aster proceeded to smash his shield on her frozen hand making her cry out in pain as the pink ice shattered upon contact and in turn opening Leina's air pipes again. "You're not a monster? Sorry most slimes I've met tend to me monsters I don't see how you are any different." Aster said as he stood up with his sword and shield drawn ready for combat.

The Slime girl looked at the stub where her hand was as it was frozen still but was melting already through her acid thus allowing her hand to return. "How dare you call me that? You've made a poor mistake boy no man can beat me." The slime girl said as Aster scoffed a bit.

"I've faced many who claim the same thing... you won't be any different, monster." Aster said as the girl was getting even more angered by Aster's comments.

"Who the hell do you think you are!?" She roared ready to attack as she summoned forth her slime sword from her arm.

"My foes and allies called me Aster the Pale Warrior or the Pale Hero whichever fits." Aster said with a smirk as the Slime Girl smirked thinking Aster was being cocky on this.

"Don't you be so cocky even though you can perform magic with your weapons it, doesn't mean you're more than a match for me!" She countered as Aster took a battle stance and got ready for combat.

"Would you like to put that to the test?" Aster asked knowing he was tricking the slime into helping him see his own limits and to see if any of his defenses still worked for him in combat.

Melona didn't say anything as she growl being pissed off as she form her slime sword and charged at Aster, as he drew his sword and blocked it, and avoiding to make eye contact with the slime girl breast, but being cautious about it as well knowing what it could squirt out.

A few parry here and there, then she roar out as she came in for a heavy attack as Aster smile and said, "FLAME FANG!"

As a ring of flame came forth around him with Melona felt the intense heat, she quickly back off as her body was suddenly steaming being close to that flame that surrounds aster as he said to her, "How about you give up now slime girl, your clearly the one out match here."

"Maybe, but that won't stop me after I get done killing that girl, I'll be totally focus on you!" Melona said as aster thought what she meant as he quickly turn back to the blonde girl and to his surprise the slime hand on the girl was still there as he thought he destroy it with his ice spell but it seem the slime girl reform it after it thaw out, as Melona saw an opening as she call back her weapon to form the hair slime hands as he raise her breast and said, "Take this!"

She squirted the acid milk at Aster while he wasn't looking, but he not a noob as he been in this situation before as he may let other think he was trick but instead he was two steps ahead as he called out, "Boost protection!"

Suddenly the milk was stop by a barrier Aster created as the stuff drop down melting the ground that it fell to, and quickly Aster turn towards Melona and pointed his sword at her as h called out, "Ice Lance!"

Shot an ice spell at Melona feet as the she try to jump out of the way, unaware of the splash effect of the spell as it doesn't just hit the spot where it was aim but around it as well of a 5 foot radius making it 10 feet circle and which Melona feet were temporary frozen to the ground as she called out, "What the hell are you!"

"Like I said before, I'm the pale Warrior, and my job is to be the hero," Aster said before he turn around towards the blond raise his sword and stab the hand as Melona cry out to that as her hand was being hurt as she force it off the girl now, and the blonde was now breathing once again but out cold being choked out.

Aster smile as he saved the girl just in time as he turn towards Melona and walk towards her knowing she is easy prey now as he said, "I usually don't give people or monster a 2nd chance to walk away, but I'm feeling a bit easy today, so here is your choices, you can run away or you can stay here and fight to your death, either way, you won't win here."

"Damn you!" Melona said as she fired more acid like crazy as Aster jump out of the way quickly to avoid it, while Melona fire more acid milk at her feet to free her from the ice.

"Can you keep the acid breast milk on the down low, it may be deadly mostly, but it's annoying, seriously, how would you win if you keep doing that, as eventually that going to back fire on you," Aster said as in most PVP he done as people had a chain of attacks as it was simple for them to remember and keep consent damage to the other person, but he would find a weak spot to it as it would take a person a sec or so, depending on the type of spell, to cast each spell and take advantage of it to strike down that person within that small time gap.

"Shut up! I cannot lose to a male like you, I can't lose at all!" Melona said as she sounding she going crazy as aster thinking, 'Oh great she like Vegeta, as ether her pride or she just really hate to lose, but either way, a sore loser.'

As Melona was about to attack, suddenly a mace came flying in at Melona as she dodge it before it could touch her, as Aster look up and saw a stunning red head woman sliding down the cliff side and landed near him as Melona look towards her and said, "Who the hell are you!?"

"The names Risty, the Benevolent Bandit of the Wild," the now known lady known as Risty said to Melona as Aster while a bit and said, "That a nice title."

Risty smile at that as Melona frown as she said, "I'll remember this, and I'll get my revenge on you! Aster the pale Warrior!"

Melona turn into her slime form and vanish out of site along with all of her parts with her, as Aster smile to this and sheath his sword with Risty picking up her mace as Aster said, "That was quite an entire there, and I would have thought no one would have style like that."

"I could say the same thing about you, that ice attack you did and breaking her arm as well, that's something," Risty said as Aster bow a bit and said, "Thank you, from a beauty like you, make it even better."

"Oh, quite a charmer from a handsome guy like you," Risty said as Aster give a small laugh with a small blush as he said, "Not many people said that to me."

"Well then, I guess I should get going, so if you want, I can take this girl off your hands and get her to a safe place for her to recover," Risty said as she was about to Grab the girl until Aster appeared next to her soon enough as he grab her hand as he said, "I would, but I need this girl for something."

Risty look up at Aster as he pull out a piece of paper as he said, "Found this blowing in the wind and saw it was resent, to my luck, I never thought I would run into the girl, but lucky me."

Risty saw it was a wanted post of the girl, as she read Wanted: Alive, Leina Vance, Price 300 pieces.

Aster saw the look in her eyes and knew who the girl was from the start and surprise someone else knew of her as Aster let go of Risty and said to her, "So you knew she had a bounty on her head already, and wanted the money yourself?"

"That was my plan," Risty said as she reach for her mace as Aster saw it, as he knew she would try something as quickly as she lifted and swing it at Aster as he side step quickly and few his sword quick draw style and pointed it at Risty neck as she sweat a bit to that as she just lose instantly as Aster said, "Look I'm not looking for a fight, I'm just trying to gain some reputation here, so let us make a deal."

"A Deal?" Risty said as Aster nodded as he said, "We'll split the money, I just get 100 pieces, and you have gave the 200 remaining, a more than fair trade for you."

"Oh, trying to buy me or something?" Risty said as Aster give a small laugh as he said, "I rather do things the normal way." 'But even then, most girl I meet who were cute or beautiful are ether a bitch or they have that perfect boyfriend already, mostly I think they are just stinking rich' Aster thought.

"I'm not really wanting to buy you, but make it a fair trade, you get most of the money while I get some and I get dips of the right of bragging of saving a damsel in distress," Aster said as Risty shrug as she said, "Alright then, that a fair deal, and you did save her, so the rights goes to the victor, you get her… and me if you want, sense you did beat me in one move."

Aster eyes pop a bit to that as he lower his sword as he clear his throat and said, "Sound tempting, but I'm not that kind of person as I said I want to do things the normal way, maybe over a meal or something then we could talk about it."

"Such a gentleman, maybe I will take you up on that offer someday," Risty said as Aster nodded as he look down at Leina, seeing her almost completely naked, he sighed a bit and took off his cape and lay it over her, keeping her decent before he pick her up as Risty said, "You really are a gentleman are you?"

"Well it was how I was raised by my mother, do nice with girl and hopefully they won't slap you," Aster said as if was one of the few fond memories of her he had with, as Risty just laugh at this as it make sense as she said to him, "Tell you what, I got a camp set up around down below, we can head there and go to Vance castle to tomorrow after some rest, my pale warrior."

"Sound good, Miss Benevolent," Aster said as Risty was liking him already as soon enough they walk through the stone arc way to the camp site, unaware of someone was watching the whole thing above, as a pair of angel wings are shown, the girl giggle to this and said, "And so it begins again."

The angel turns around to show Marianne as she smile and said, "I wonder what will happen this time around?" she give a giggle as she has new ideas she want to try with these new warriors as she thought it would be fun.

(Later)

As a Blue hair angel suddenly came flying in as she started screaming, "I'm late! I'm late! Oh I'm so late!"

AS the blue hair angel landed on the stone arc way as she face the area where the fight once took place as she had her eyes close and hand at her chest as she said out loud, "I am the angel of hope, known as Nanael! All fighter who wishes to enter the Queen's blade Tournament grant me the honor of bearing witness to your gathering and valor, and now let the gate of trail be open!"

After a bit, nothing happen, as no sound of fighter is heard, but a familiar giggle as Nanael went, "Hu? Who the?"

Nanael turn to the person laughing as she saw Marianne as Nanael said, "Marianne? What are you doing here… and where are the warriors?!"

"You're late Nanael, as usual. The fight ended a little bit ago and it wasn't much of a Queen's blade match anyways, but sense you're here, there been an update to the resent contestants that just arrived," Marianne said as Nanael question, "New Contestants?"

"Yeap and trust me they will be huge game changers." Marianne smirked as she was ready for what came next.

"What did you do this time?" Nanael asked knowing if Marianne was up to something they'll all suffer for it.

"Oh nothing but be sure not to rig battles ok? Ok." Marianne said before flying off again without a care in the world.

"Marianne!" Nanael called out as Marianne flew away.

(Scene Beak that evening)

Aster was watching over Leina as he kept a close eye on Risty in case he got double crossed somehow. So far no dice on that but one can never be too careful. Right now she was bathing in the water as Aster was looking over his gear and self.

So far he notes that his attack skills are still at top par but he noted he had to regulate them now. This will take tome understanding but he will manage. Despite this he knew the White Knight Ark also carries the risk of drawing out Madorus from within. Thus Aster needed to be weary of it until he can confirm if Madorus is inside it or not or if he's even a noteworthy foe to worry about right now.

He looked and saw Risty rubbing the water on her arms while still wearing her thong piece. Aster stared for a moment but then focused on his thoughts as he still remembered what Kaguya said the Guardians were discussing. 'So far it appears holding hack may be a problem but one I can possibly work around with time." Aster said as he was wearing his silver plate still endowed as the Cape he had for it was used on Leina. The Hero armor set was worn by Dilan that he had enhanced to match any foe they may face.

The same for Kaguya and her gear. Though she always uses bows and magic for her fights she interchanges armor between quest and uses the ninja gear she has and the Hachiman set depending on the quests parameters. But since this is not a game it would be best to utilize a method to blend in as well.

As Aster threw some wood to the fire he kept idle watch as one time he had to stop Risty from taking his wallet or money pouch. But as he sat there he soon heard movement and looked to see Leina was awake with his Knight cloak as a blanket. Risty then saw this as well as it seems she had to end her bath now.

(Later)

"That nasty creature you guys tussled with is named Melona she works for the Swamp Witch." Risty said while Aster sat there after Leina returned to him his cloak.

"You don't say." Aster said as his helmet was off so he may hear the tale properly.

"I'm afraid you're no match for her, Leina." Risty said as Aster had confiscated Leina's belongings from Risty and rummaged through them a bit.

"The swamp witch..." Leina said as she heard this.

"Even more so if you bring such useless items on a journey." Aster said tossing out a hair brush. "You hear remember to know your own strength and know what to bring if you wish to survive as an adventurer and a warrior." Aster said to which he passed Leina her things back.

"Thank you." Leina said but noted something else. "Wait most of my things are gone." Leina said to which Aster spoke up again.

"Tossed them out they were dead weight." Aster said but Leina glared at him.

"Those were mine you had no right!" She yelled but Risty spoke up.

"Be that as it may he completely dominated Melona in that fight. He didn't even have to exert his strength. He even bested me." Risty said as Aster was being calm. For Aster it was like talking to a new player and showing them the ropes hence the calm. "You were a prize in battle so whatever was yours is his. Remember this kid to the victor goes the spoils that is the law of this land." Risty said as she smirked to the glaring Leina.

"I believe Introductions are in order Ms. Vance. I am Aster the Pale Warrior this is Risty Benevolent Bandit of the Wild." Aster said as Risty glared a bit.

"I can introduce myself you know." Risty said but it was too late for now.

"Anyway we know who you are Leina Vance the runaway daughter I'm here to bring you back and claim the reward and to start my new Chronicles." Aster said while holding up the wanted poster of Leina.

Leina was silent as Aster knew this girl had a reason to run away. Many runaways have reasons from noble, pitying, or downright foolish. Aster took note to send a message of his delay arrival back at base once everyone was asleep.

(Scene Break the next day)

Aster was once more in full armor as Leina was tied up in a bondage like form. Aster kept his calm but he found it hot on her. But while they walked they stood over a hill that looked over the Vance Estate as Aster saw it clearly. Aster had taken back his cloak so he could appear presentable as it wrapped around his shoulders and right arm. He offers it at first but Leina declined it no doubt not wanting to return.

"We're finally here, just before us is the castle of Count Vance our wealthy ruler. In other words your back home." Risty said as Aster looked upon it from under his helmet.

"I see..." Aster said as this was good. The Vance family control these lands thus he could start gathering information and spreading his name as well as his Guilds name.

Leina decided to voice her objection to being brought home as Aster had a couple of hunches why Leina ran away and most of them include her not agreeing with the lifestyle she lives there or being abused somehow. "Let me go, I left this place for a reason." Leina said with a sad look in her eyes.

"Can I ask you something?" Risty began as she looked to Leina. "Why is there a reward for 300 Gold Coins for your return?" Risty asked as she looked to Leina.

"I don't know nor do I want to." Leina admitted as Aster shrugged calmly.

"Come on we have a job to complete." Aster said bit he had more planned as sending her back to an unwanted home seemed wrong to him. Hopefully he can manage without Kaguya here to plan and Dilan to be his wingman.

"It's odd to say the least, I feel sorry for you." Risty said before they began walking as Risty's words surprised Leina.

"You do? Then release me." Leina said hoping to use that pity to escape to which Risty scoffed.

"I don't feel that sorry for you." Risty said as they continued their path to the estate.

But Aster walked close to Leina and then leaned in to her before speaking. "Once you're in, retrieve what you can and be ready to move." Aster whispered as Leina realized what Aster meant... he was going to help her escape once the reward is received and he sets the seeds to spreading his name.

(Later bridge to the Castle Vance)

The trio were walking on the bridge as Leon was grateful that it was summer otherwise he would be freezing or worse. Risty looked around impressed with what she saw as Leon had to admit it was pretty cool. Leon saw this place can possibly rival some Video Game architecture designs as he knew this place was huge. "Talk about living in style it's too bad your people are starving. The way he's governed us it's wrong." Risty said to which Aster heard.

If words held truth of a corrupt noble bringing him down is a sure fire way to spreading their names across the globe. This would in turn be noted for later in case the worst held truth on Lord Vance.

Risty then looked to Leina as she smiled. "Be sure to mention that to the count." Risty said just before they arrive at the draw bridge.

It was Aster who spoke as he was the one who captured Leina. "Lower the draw bridge I bring to you Leina Vance for the 300 Gold pieces reward for her safe return." Aster called out as all they had to do know was wait for a reply.

(Inside the Estate)

Cutting to a painting of a younger Leina when she was a child as someone said while looking at it "Oh Leina, where have you gone? We usually we manage to find you right away."

The scene back away from the painting to a young lady looking at it as she have an armor left hand glove with her outfit was white with black stripes around it with a blue top bikini style covering her breast, and a tiara in her blonde hair like Leina with a cat theme to it with the two point ear like end and a small feline face in the middle, and a as she seem upset as she said, "Don't you like your little sister anymore?"

She thought for a moment before she said, "Oh, I know. It must be the big parties you can't stand. You don't like how men look at you with all that lust in their eyes. That must be it."

Leina little sister turn around with a cat like smile (seriously it does) as she said to herself, "It should be you and me all the time."

'Knock! Knock!'

"Hu? Yes?" She said with an upset look on her face as she was disturbed from her thought her and Leina.

A maid enter the room and kneeled and said, "Lady Leina has returned."

"What, really?" Leina little sister said as she walk out to see for herself.

(Later at the gate)

The draw bridge started to lower itself down to the trio as Aster saw a blonde girl, like Leina with different hair style and dress, as he saw Leina's little sister come running out to her big sister as she said, "Leina!"

"Elina?" Leina said as her sister came up to her and said, "You're home at last. I'm sorry that I couldn't find you."

Aster looked at the younger sister and seem weirded out as he read her aura that was pretty much leaking out from her, she could be a siscon, as he waited and listen as Leina said to her sister, "It wasn't my intentions to come back." "All the matter is that your back, and I'm so glad that my heart was about to burst."

'Yep, she a siscon," Leon thought, and how much he didn't want to know, and she was one of the reason she left this place, he would not blame her.

Elina look down at her sister clothing cover and rope ties as she said, "Why are you tied up like this, no one can get close to you but me. But now you've been defiled."

"I haven't been defiled." Leina responded causing Elina to smile big time on this.

"That's splendid your purity is one of your best qualities and one that I admire most." Elina said with a smile but then Aster spoke up.

"Actually when I found her she was attacked by a slime monster known as Melona apparently mistaking her for a Claudette Vance. She may try to attack again especially after I had bested her and we called her a monster and if Claudette is here then she may even attempt to kill two or three birds with one stone." Aster said only to be glared upon by Elina.

Elina then looked between Aster and Leina as she began to realize something. "He's a male." Elina said realizing this.

"Excuse me?" Aster asked confused on her statement.

"Did you lie Leina... or did he drug you and defile you?!" Elina asked as Aster then sighed a bit.

"I did no such thing. I am here to claim the reward on Leina's return so here I am." Aster said trying to keep his calm key word being trying.

"Silent, you fiend. I'll make sure you'll be rotting in the dungeon for touching my precious Leina!" Elina Said to him as Risty had enough of this as she said, "Enough already, how about you pay up already?"

"Silent you dog," Elina said as that seem to have piss off Risty a bit as she said, "What did you say?"

"Remember your place Commoner," Elina said as the air became tense.

(Meanwhile nearby)

Nanael arrived to see what was happening feeling a battle was about to start here as she looked and saw the group in a bit of a confrontation especially since two of them were possible Queen's Blade Competitors. "Alright looks like there, gonna fight." Nanael said as she saw she can make up for missing the last fight. "Wait a minute." She said noticing the male and compared him to an image in her book of warriors.

"Wait why, is a man in, the competitor book!?" Nanael asked in shock and saw a footnote from Marianne.

"Head Angel and Queen Aldra approves it." It read to which Nanael sighed a bit.

"But my duty as an Angel is to watch the Queen's Blade Battles, but I'm so embarrassed I missed the last one but at least it wasn't more of an embarrassment that I didn't have the updated book of warriors." Nanael said as she took out her book and began seeing who was fighting here.

"Now let's see the female red head is Risty the Benevolent Bandit of the wild, says here she's a pretty strong fighter." Nanael said skimming through Risty's information. "The other one is Elina captain of the Vance Guard Troop and it looks like she's in top form." She said skimming through Elina's information. "And the male in armor is called Aster the Pale Warrior. Says here he's one of three very powerful fighters from a group called the 'Soldiers of HOLY,' if a fight breaks out this may be a victory for that Aster guy."

"Elina looks to be in top form and it looks like the battle is about to begin." Nanael said with a smile as this could help her beat Marianne before she has a chance to one up her in the ever watchful eye of the head angel.

(Back on the bridge)

"We have no money to pay to dogs so if you leave immediately I'll overlook your rudeness." Elina said as Aster saw he should probably stay calm to prevent this from getting out of hand.

"Really that's how you want to do it?" Risty began as she pulled out her mace stomping Aster's plan in turn. "Let's make it 3,000 Gold Coins then, a Ransom instead of a reward." Risty as the two ended up taking battle stances as this was getting heavy and Aster had to salvage what he can.

"If it's a ransom then I cannot partake in this." Aster said as Elina smirked. "Nor will I accept gold from a corrupt noble and their spoiled rotten child." He added surprising everyone here.

"What did you say?!" She demanded while glaring at the warrior shocked he had the gall to say such a thing.

"You heard me well, little girl. You cling and rely on your family's name with some idiotic notion that with it and your title as a noble you're untouchable. Your weak without it and also with your dear old 'daddy,' money you live the easy life while there are people on your fathers land starving and he won't even offer a single coin to help them," Aster spoken as clearly as he could about all this with Elina just getting pissed at this as she said to him, "How dare you!"

"Another thing you are just a sad little girl who hasn't know the true meaning of hardship in a single day of your life, and been given everything on a platter right before you to just take what you want and give nothing in return, being drunk off the power and money your family holds, with everyone else lying in the streets with no home to call their own. Your pathetic, spoiled, and weak, as in the end of this, I just pity for you," Aster said to the Vance girl as it seem she had enough of it as he pointed her spear at him.

"Take back what you say, right now!" Elina said as she thrust her spear at him as Aster raised his shield quickly no needing to draw his sword for a fight against a girl like her as he said to her, "I told truth towards you and this is how you act? As it seem my words to hold truth about you as well."

Elina kept pushing forward to try and overpower Aster, but his strength is unmatched, and he just holding back for the most part he didn't know the how strong people in this world are as he judging it all as he goes, as he did egg her on a bit as well to see her strength as he could say Elina was strong in the average sense, but nothing can compare to him or his friends, it's just a matter of holding back their strength so they don't cause too much damage.

Leina is worry about a fight breaking out by this argument as she wonder why Aster said what he did to Elina, with Risty smile at this as she was enjoying the show very much so as she now know how strong Aster is.

Soon as dark clouds been forming ever sense the argument has started, as thunder struck forcing the two to separate with Nanael got in the force of the lightning strike blast, as she was thrown out into the waters that surrounds the Vance castle.

With Aster, he jumped back wondering where that storm came from, but it seem his attention was turn elsewhere as he soon saw someone coming forth from the smoke, a female figure with what looked like a claymore in their hands. As Risty shielded herself from the blast the smoke began to clear to reveal a woman with long red hair and wearing revealing armor/cloths as she looked at the two. "Elina pay the people now." The woman said while shouldering her sword. "Or are you trying to disgrace the counts name?" The woman said as Aster was glad someone was being sensible here.

He did sense a great sense of strength within that woman, and something else as he started to notice something with every female warrior he come across as that is their armor… or the lack of as it seem most female around he been seeing minus the slime monster, every woman has been wearing bikini like armor or cloth.

He didn't understand why the women of this land are dress the way they are, and didn't know what to say, even about that slime monster, as he didn't know if that creature was a girl or trying to be a girl but really not as he understand in many RPG games he played, slime are unisex.

"Claudette. I'm sorry my sister I meant no offense." Elina said to her older sister as Risty saw her as did Aster as he understand now as he thought, 'So she's the one Melona was after then, no wonder she would be a target.'

Risty began getting up as she looked at Claudette. "I'm glad someone around here is reasonable." Risty said as Elina looked to Aster given him no mind to her that her siscon might be a borderline idiot.

"You earned this, you returned her and we'll pay our debt to you." Claudette said as she handed the bag to Risty as Risty said to her, "I may have help, but I'm not the one to bring her here, but I do accept the money."

But before Risty could walk away, all of a sudden Claudette grabbed Risty's wrist and held her in place with a strong grip.

"That is not a good sign." Aster said knowing how a move like that ended most of the time add the fact the storm had not vanished at all.

"But you're also a wanted thief." Claudette said as Risty was angry and shocked at that as she called out, "What?!"

Soon enough out of nowhere Lightning hit Claudette's sword before going through her and shocking Risty with a lot of lightning causing her to cry out in pain before she fell to the ground while dropping the gold coins.

Claudette then turned to Aster as the guy was calm, but he knew the look she was giving her was never a good one, as he knew if he keep strong he may not go down like Risty did, but he also had a promise to keep… and a monster that maybe on her way.

"As for you, you had insulted the Vance Family in front of their own estate that demands that you be put in the dungeon if you do not wish to battle." Claudette said as Aster sighed to this as he said, "I don't need to insult someone when they are already dragging their own name in the mud by stand by doing nothing for their people, or did you not know that? Then again ignorance is bliss."

Claudette hand grip a little tightly around her sword as she raise it up ready to fight, as Elina smile a little evilly as she raise her spear and said, "I don't care what people may think, we're going to bring you down dog."

"The name not dog, little girl, its Aster, the pale warrior, remember it," Aster said as he drew his sword as Leina said to him, "Aster don't do this, you don't know how strong-

"Stay out of this Leina! this is between me and them, if they wish to attack me together… then I welcome the challenge," Aster as he took his fighting stands as he knew Kaguya would get piss, but hey this could be a good way to get their rep up with what he got plans for.

Elina and Claudette nodded to each other as Aster knew exactly what to do. He got ready to draw his sword knowing speed will be best suited here. "I'm going to enjoy this especially for you yelling at Leina like that." Elina said as Aster glared at them.

'These two rely on spear and longsword based combat. Elina's armor is equipped with claws while Claudette has usage over Thunder based magic no doubt her sword is enchanted in a way like that.' Aster noted as he waited for an attack to come.

Soon Elina moved in with her spear to which Aster responded with equal force. Aster allowed Elina's spear to grace off his shield before he drew his sword out and attacked. Elina didn't have time to react e blocked the attack. But then Claudette came in to which Aster used his shield and pushed the Claymore off. He then spun around and attacked. "Wind up thrust!" Aster invoked thrusting his sword at Claudette forcing her to back off.

"THUNDER CLAP!" Claudette invoked to which Aster dodged the attack with ease.

"Sonic Storm!" Aster roared out attacking head on with a long range wind based attack.

Aster soon began blocking and attacking as he faced two foes at once. It was two on one but for Aster it was similar to soloing quests simple as one two three. Aster back stepped and side stepped as Elina send stabbing and slashing attacks as Aster each attack missing and serving to anger her at how he calmly avoided it.

Aster then blocked and attack from Elina with his shield and blocked the one from Claudette with his sword. He then pushed them off and brought out his next skill for battle. "TWIN SWORD!" He invoked and in turn his shield vanished and was replaced with a phantom sword instead. He then attacked both at once with increased vigor as the twin blades were pushing Elina and Claudette to the edge.

Claudette gave Elina a silent order to which Elina knew it well. Elina then then flung her spear at Aster like a javelin forcing him to block it with ease and then proceeded to block the second attack from Claudette.

"THUNDERCLAP!" She invoked as soon Aster was hit by her attack at point blank range. Aster gritted his teeth before an explosion was seen as Elina and Leina were forced to take cover from it.

"Aster!" Leina cried out in shock expecting the worse but instead she saw Aster standing there with scorch Mark's on his armor but none the less ok.

Once it cleared Claudette was shocked to see Aster standing there unharmed from the attack. "Impossible he took that at point blank range and is still standing." Elina said shocked at what she saw. "Who or what is he?" Elina asked worried they may have bitten off more than they can chew.

"How?" Claudette asked as Aster stood there unmoving for a moment.

Then to everyone's shock Aster dropped his sword and shield and raised his hands over his head. "I surrender." Aster said surprising everyone even further.

"What?!" Elina asked in shock as Aster could have easily won but he was giving up.

"In the long run even if I bested you no doubt Lord Vance would put a bounty on my head demanding me to answer for my 'crimes,' I only defended myself here so in the long run turning myself In till we can sort this mess out." Aster said which further confused everyone.

But Claudette knew Aster was planning something because he was dominating that fight. He could have won easily if he didn't surrender, perhaps he was being cautious or perhaps he had bigger plans. But for now she obliged him and took his weapons he willingly surrendered.

(Later with Leina and Claudette)

Leina was standing before Claudette still wearing the shirt given to her by Leon no doubt to continue to hide that letter which was a miracle that Elina didn't find it. Though Leon did put the letter in the worst spot possible but she had to admit with a lack of a better spot she was stuck. "What were you thinking? Don't be such a fool you're going to become the next countess you know that." Claudette said as Leina looked.

"I have absolutely no desire to become a countess. Wouldn't you be better suited for that anyway? You should-" Leina began to argue but was cut off by Claudette.

"The Count had already decided on this matter." Claudette countered as if saying that the decision was final and there was no escaping it.

"Oh I know but I intend to make my own decisions." Leina said before Claudette countered with more force.

"Mind your place!" Claudette yelled as she slapped Leina as Leina cried out in pain from the slap. "Now one of the Lords is going to be announced as the next successor this night. You best be ready." Claudette said giving Leina no choice in the matter as it was clear that Leina hated this before Claudette looked to where Elina was hiding.

"Elina keep a close eye on her." Claudette ordered before she began walking away leaving Leina with a red mark on her cheek where Claudette had struck her.

(In the Prisons)

"Aster, I never thought that you had in you for taunting the spoiled brat, facing both Vance sisters at once, and coming back alive." Risty said before sighing. "But why surrender you could have trashed them both?" Risty asked as Aster was training a bit to which she noticed. "Um what are you doing?" Risty asked clearly confused by his actions.

"Getting ready." Aster said as he was practicing hand to hand combat.

"For what?" Risty asked confusion in her tone.

"Battle." Aster said as he kept practicing. But just as he sent a fist forth he heard a familiar ringing from the messenger spell.

"Speak." Aster ordered as he answered the call quietly.

"Where are you Aster?!" Dilan was heard yelling to which Aster sighed.

"Prison." Aster said calmly causing a spit take to be heard from Kaguya.

"WHAT!?" They both yelled in shock to Aster's response.

"I'll explain what I can basically I bested a monster angered her and became prisoner of her target." Aster said as Kaguya calmed down a bit. "But for now head to the Vance Estate and be ready to move." Aster said quietly as he began to sit down.

"Got it we'll bring some of the guardians to help." Dilan said to which Aster agreed.

"Bring ones who can blend in after all tales must be told somehow so they may be chronicled." Aster said to which they knew what he meant after all they needed witnesses after all.

"Ok we'll be there soon." Kaguya said before the line was cut for now.

"Now we wait." Aster said aloud as he waited for Melona to strike.

"Wait for what?" Risty asked to which Aster answered.

"The signal." Aster said simply before going silent.

(A little Later)

Risty was resting up as Aster sat calmly in his cell going over what he learned. He knew in his world he'd never act like he does now. He would have chalked it up as dimensional side effects until he remembered he and his friends also created backstories for their characters. Origin stories and the like thus perhaps like with the NPC's those character information had taken hold of them in a way like side effects affect someone.

Aster could use this to better blend in and hopefully if possible find other members of his guild or other players who made it to this world. Wishful thinking perhaps but surely they could not be the only ones affected by this event. But during this Aster summoned the White Knights ark and looked upon it with a deep look upon it.

He knew how Madorus had cheated death before using the Knights to do so. When he played WKC2 needless to say he had his objections to facing the possessed Leonard and the White Knight turned Demon Knight at the end. Considering everything prior it held sentimental value to him. He clenched it as he waited for some sort of reaction to signal Madorus inside it.

But then a new voice was heard from it. "If thou desires to learn of Madorus and the possibility of possessing thine being then ye shall rest easy knowing Madorus is neither within thyself nor thy power." A familiar voice said before Aster found himself in familiar place.

(Scene Change)

Aster was standing on a platform in a familiar realm trying to make sense of it before he recognized it. This was where Leonard faced the phantom to attain the White Knights Power in White Knights Chronicles 1 and later where the avatar character would gain access to using the artificial construct Knight in White Knight Chronicles 2. He looked around and saw a familiar white figure as he knew exactly who and what it was.

"The White Phantom of the White Knight... Wizel." Aster greeted as Wizel floated there with the left half his body being blue tendrils and the rest being a pale white skin with glowing blue veins.

"It pleases me to know thou art aware of me... my master." Wizel said bowing down to Aster who glared a bit.

"How am I your master if I never undergone your trial to attain your power?" Aster asked as Wizel raised his head to Aster once more.

"That is both correct and incorrect my master. Thou had undergone my trial though not physically ye had done so through your vessel upon thine lands of dreams." Wizel said as Aster understood.

"So even though it was not my body... I still had undergone and passed your trial and in turn once this body became my own so did the pact." Aster said with a smirk. "Talk about awesome loophole." Aster said realizing he now had the White Knight.

"As for thine enemy Madorus he does not roam this armor nor thine body thus the fear though understandable was unneeded." Wizel said to which Aster nodded. "Now know this as in days of old I shall repeat. To you all my power I bequeath." Wizel said kneeling once more before Aster who then nodded in response understanding he was the pactmaker. But this would also paint a huge target on his back if he uses his power with helpless abandon.

(Scene Change Cell)

Aster woke up once more and found himself back in his cell as he glared a bit and waited. His signal was when Risty busted out as he already had the weapon to Bush out with all he had to do was wait till the evening to begin his escape plan.

(Scene Break that evening Party)

Ballroom music was playing as many nobles were dancing or talking as they all celebrated, with Leina standing outside the balcony with her father announced Leina lordship As the Vance Duchess.

Leina sighed and said, "They are all selfish, no one cares how I feel... other than Aster." memory flashes to the time he told her, 'Once you're in, retrieve what you can and be ready to move'

'But then he surrendered himself on purpose, as he just gave up' as he said, "In the long run even if I bested you no doubt Lord Vance would put a bounty on my head demanding me to answer for my 'crimes,' I only defended myself here so in the long run turning myself In till we can sort this mess out was the best option."

'What did he mean by that all that?' Leina thought as she wonder what is Aster planning on doing if he breaks out he would no doubt be a wanted criminal, with Leina thought were interrupted as someone came up behind as she called out, "Leina."

Leina look back to see who it's her sister Elina wearing a red dress as she walk up to her as she said to Leina, "It breaks my heart to see you like this sad."

Elina just giggle to this as she was very close up on Leina now as she lean in and said to her, "I know, why don't, we both sneak off somewhere."

Elina rub her face against Leina, not feeling all that comfortable with it with the mood she's in, even being unaware of the silent and slimly intruder that slip in through the water fountain as the water turn to pink for a moment before forming at the bottom fountain bowl and form into Melona as she was back as he look up to the balcony and said, "Found you Leina, and…"

*sniff

Melona sniff the air around and she found a familiar sent as she had a mad look on her face as she said, "Aster is here as well, well then he would be next then."

She soon vanish down in the waters, waiting for a plan to strike and kill her target unaware someone was watching the scene as well, as a maiden knight was standing by disguised as one of the Vance guard to sneak in as she put a finger to her ear as she spoken to it, "Target sited, type slime."

"Roger that, keep to your mission until the end, phase 1 is a go," the voice of Dilan spoken up as the maid nodded, as did the other maids that were in the ball room, as quick flashes of them are seen as they all nodded and keep up on their duty until they would need to act like defenseless bystanders for the act to be pulled off.

Back on the Balcony as a Guard came up to Elina as she said to her, "Excuse me captain."

"What do you want? Can't you see Leina and I are having a moment here?" Elina said as the guard nodded and said, "I'm Sorry to interrupt your moment Captain, but Lord Vance has need of you for a moment."

"Understand, I'll be there right away," Elina said as the guard nodded and did a fist bang to her chest salute and walk off as Elina turn back to Leina and said, "I'll be back, so don't go anywhere."

AS Soon Elina left Leina was relief that she did as she didn't know how much sisterly love she could take right now, as she seem sadden by all this as she didn't know what to do now sense Aster is in the dungeon as he didn't belong there and wonder if she should set him free, but didn't notice someone else came up to her as the person addressed her, "Excuse me Miss Vance, would you like another glass of wine?"

Leina turn to see a butler she has not seen before, as it was Mordred as he held a tray with a single glass of wine as she was going low on hers as she said, "Yes, I would like that."

Mordred lower the tray as Leina play her old glass on it and took a new one as Mordred said to Leina, "IF your worry about Lord Aster, you don't have too as he told me to tell you, you shall be escaping soon tonight, and hope you have everything you would need."

Leina is surprise by this as before she could ask anything else, Mordred bow to her and said, "Excuse me, I'll take care of this right away."

As he walked away with blending in with the crowd as another maid was looking outside for the moment as she took notice of the guard rotation of a certain wall of the Castle as it was in line with a tower that was just pass the lake that surrounds the castle as she put her hand to her ear as she said, "There is a 5 minute delay."

(The tower)

As Kaguya and Dilan were preparing themselves for the break out as Kaguya was measuring out the rope she would be using soon as Dilan look out to Vance's castle as he said, "Good job, keep track of the guard, as well keep up the act, we want people think you're a noble woman."

'That won't be a problem Lord Dilan," the battle maiden spoken up and ended the call as Dilan turn to Kaguya and said, "How it's coming with that?"

"We may have just enough, I can make the shot with an enhancement spell, with the bow I have providing the needed power for this shot, it's just a matter of any air draft to watch out for, but I can make it" Kaguya said as Dilan said, "Oh right, the update to the game added in wind speed and drafts to make it more realistic for the archer skill, but you think you can manage at this range?"

"Who do you think hold the record of the longest shot in the game before coming to this world? This distant isn't that long compare to that," Kaguya said as Dilan rub his head and said, "My bad."

"Well anyways we should go in an hour, that should be enough time to prepare ourselves and Aster too," Kaguya said as Dilan nodded as he look out to the castle and said, "I hope so."

(Leina room)

As Leina left the party early as her mind was wondering around too much and thought maybe some peace and quiet would help, but forgot Elina would be watching over her for a bit as she was in the room with her as she strip herself of the party dress she had on with Elina watches her as she said, "I bet your tired, I'll give you a massage."

"No thanks," Leina said as she walk away from her sister as Elina she sighed to that, but wasn't going to give up that easy as she came up to Leina again as she was putting on her night shirt as she said, "Well at least let me comb your hair. You were not taking care of it out there were you?"

Leina stab down at her desk dresser as she pull out her hair from under the shirt and let Elina do as she please with that at least as she handed her the brush, as Elina took it as she said to her sister, "Leina, running away is never gonna change anything, you'll always be found and always be brought back, just accept your title. Get married, be a countess, settle down, everything would be fine."

"But I don't want any of that," Leina said as she feeling she won't be happy at all with just settling down and act like a trophy wife as Elian smile as she said, "Of course not, I can't tell you how much it gets under my skin to watch men flirting with you, as thankfully that man in the Dungeon has defiled you at all."

"Would you just stop that, Aster never even laid a finger on me, he save me from that monster and that was it," Leina said as Elina huff to that and said, "Fine... but if you do get married anyways, I swear, I'll make your wedding day the biggest regret of your husband life, his hands would never touch you, believe me, I'm always going to be by your side Leina."

"Elina," Leina said to her but before she could say anything, her little sister shouted, "Your hair! It's been singed. I'm sure that dog is to blame."

"You mean Risty? It's not her fault, it happen when I was facing that devil," Leina said as Elina stop brushing for a moment as she step back as she said, "You fault, a devil? So what that man said was true then?"

"Yes, it was, if I had the right tools, I could have beaten her, I know it," Leina said as Elian kneel down to her and said, "You don't need to worry about that, you can trust I will always be there to protect you."

Soon enough Elina was pushed out the door as it was shut behind her as Elina was upset by that as she said, "ah Damn, she wouldn't let me sleep next to her."

She soon walk away as she look to the guard and said, "Sentries, do not let her leave the room."

"Understood ma'am," The guard said as Elina was about to leave until she took notice of something as she turn to the female guard as she said, "I've haven't see you before."

"I am one of man the extra guards Lord Vance has order to help protect Miss Leina and this castle, my name is Enas Lancelot (Enas means 'one' in Greek)," The woman said as she raise her head to show it was one of the maiden knights as Elina is surprise by this as she said, "You are, oh that right, he told me about that, very well carry on."

She nodded as she stood guard by Leina door to be there to help escort Leina out of the castle when needed.

Once Elina was gone she looked around and with a quick scan spell she saw she was alone. "Master Mordred, Leina Vance is secured how shall I proceed?" Enas asked calmly using the messenger spell.

"Keep watch when the Lords and Lady deem it we shall make our move." Mordred was heard on the other end no doubt locating a secluded place to do so.

"As you command." Enas said as she kept her guard up and made sure if it came time to rotate she sent any other sentries away.

(With Leina)

"I'm back here yet again." Leina said as she looked to the roof above. "If only I could get beyond that mountain pass I would be free." Leina said while, laying there. That's where I have to go." Leina said as she laid there for a moment. But unaware to her a phantom walked through the halls looking to Leina as if inspecting her. One in a familiar suit of armor as she looked to Leina and gently rubbed her cheek. She looked before whispering to her ear while she slept.

"O Maria, Wandering Maiden, Warrior of the Ancient Lands. Grant me your power." She said as her mouth came closer to her ear. "Verto." She said as soon she turned into a spinner like item before vanishing just as Leina woke up.

Leina shot up as she looked around for a moment swearing she heard something but all she saw was her empty room. "No..." Leina said as she got up remembering what Risty and Aster told her at the camp. "This cannot be the end of my Chronicles." Leina said realizing that was something Aster would say.

"You best remember to know your own strength and know what to bring if you wish to survive as an adventurer and a warrior." Aster said in a short flashback as Leina stood up ready to move out. She figured Aster must have some sort of plan and hopefully it was successful.

(With Aster an hour later)

Aster looked and saw Risty escape a while ago as she had taken longer than he expected. She offered to break him out herself but he told her he had a plan. Risty agreed for now and left to do what she did best. It wasn't long until Aster saw Elina walk in with the guards as Aster saw her. "She escaped a good hour ago." Aster said as he looked to Elina who was shocked to hear this.

"And why didn't you bother to alert someone?!" Elina asked before Aster pointed his thumb to the knocked out guards.

"That dog she escaped. Seal off all the exits and passages!" Elina ordered as that was the signal he was waiting for. "Message." Aster invoked as he contacted his friends again.

(Kaguya and Dilan)

"We move now begin the plan!" Aster ordered as Kaguya and Dilan nodded.

"Got it brother!" Dilan said as Kaguya nodded and fired off an arrow. She had a wide assortment of bows some that fired regular arrows that can be enchanted and others that uses magic as arrows. She fired the arrow allowing the rope to tail behind it. Once she did this she caught the other end in time as Dilan secured it.

"Come on!" Kaguya ordered as Dilan nodded in response to her order. The two then used their bow and spear to zip line across the edge and to the Vance Estate main building. Once they crossed the ledge alarms and lights went off as the two realized this was part of Aster's plan one Kaguya approved of.

But as they ran Kaguya and Dilan caught a glimpse of Risty running away. This of course caused Kaguya to roll her eyes a bit as she knew she was one of those type of girls Aster found attractive.

(Later Cells)

Aster waited as he heard the alarms and knew it was time to move. He then reached out his arm before in a flash of light a large Hammer appeared in it. "Gold Cross Hammer should prove sufficient enough." Aster said as he then hoisted it with ease. It's a powerful weapon but slow on the uptake but it will prove to suit his needs. The door to the jail opened up as Kaguya and Dilan walked in looking for Aster.

"Aster! Where are you!?" Dilan called out his whisper looking for Aster.

"He must be in here." Kaguya said unaware Aster was about to answer.

Aster then roared out and was followed by the sound of something heavy being swung. Soon the cage was smashed across the room as it narrowly hit Kaguya and Dilan to which the two saw him. He walked out as the hammer vanished from his hands with Dilan glaring at him. "Dude give us a warning next time before you do that!" Dilan countered as he looked like he had a near heart attack.

"Come on we need to move now." Aster said as they began to move out.

(With Claudette)

Claudette was walking about as she was even more on edge then before. First Aster's sudden surrender and now Risty managed to break out. As she walked through the halls she soon came upon Leina's room as Enas was still standing guard but was also armed no doubt ready for the thief coming this way. She had duties to attend to as she nodded to the guard who stepped aside after a moment. Claudette knocked on the door before she proceeded to open it.

"Excuse intrusion." Claudette said as she came in and saw Leina was still up and seemed to be standing before the close blinds.

"Of course Claudette what is it?" Leina asked but quickly noted Claudette get suspicious. "I heard the alarm ringing." Leina said covering up the lie as the alarm awakening her.

"A thief broke out of our prison and is hiding in the castle. I am here instead of the captain of the Guard Elina to protect you." Claudette said as Leina looked to her.

"There's no need for that. The thief is nowhere near here." Leina said to which Enas wanted to face palm herself with how Leina answered that. "And shouldn't you be more concerned with the counts safety over my own?" Leina asked but Claudette had a reason for that.

"He is in fact the one who ordered me to guard you." Claudette said while looking to Leina.

"Father ordered that?" Leina asked just as Claudette noted a bulge in her curtains.

Soon Elina arrived with another of the Maiden Knights as they looked to her. "Elina are you alright!?" Elina asked as she then noticed Claudette here. "Claudette I don't understand. Why are you here?" Elian asked seeing Claudette here.

"I'm doing your job on orders of the count." Claudette began but a Maiden Knight then cleared her throat.

"Sorry to interrupt but we have a new situation in the prison." She said catching the Vance Sisters attention.

'What?' Risty thought as the only other person that was there was Aster... wait he didn't.

(Later Prison)

Claudette and Elina were shocked at what they saw as before them was the destroyed Cell of Aster with the evidence suggesting he broke out on his own with brute strength alone. "He escaped!?" Elina yelled in shock at the fact the male who mocked and insulted her broke out.

"No... We never had him captured to begin with." Claudette said as she investigated the scene as she knew the signs. "He allowed himself to be captured on purpose!" Claudette yelled as she then moved knowing full well Aster purposely held back for this very moment. 'But why would he do this? Clearly he can escape with strength alone so what does he have to gain from this?' Claudette wondered as she knew Risty must be going for the docks. Hopefully she'll find Aster there as well and if not just follow a trail of destruction and beaten foes and it should lead to Aster.

(With Aster, Kaguya, and Dilan)

"She did it." Aster said as he and his friend hid atop a tower as they saw Risty leave Leina's chambers while Aster held his helmet in his hand.

"Should we snag her o fearless leader?" Dilan asked as they saw Risty head to the docks.

"No... We have a slime to deal with." Aster said to which Kaguya nodded.

"You mean you have one we can go down and held damage control." Dilan said as Kaguya smirked a bit.

"Well look who grew a brain." Kaguya teased a bit to which Dilan glared playfully.

"Hey." Dilan playfully warned to which Kaguya giggled.

Soon an explosion was seen as they saw the docks were hit no doubt Risty and Claudette were going at it now which meant it was time to move. "Message." Aster invoked as he put his fingers to his ear. "Mordred and the Maiden Knights move to position its time." Aster said as he saw a pink slime climb up to Leina's room. "It's time." Aster ordered before putting his helmet on.

(Split Screen)

The Maiden Knights and Mordred understood as they all nodded. They knew they had none combatant roles for this order so they followed it without question. "Yes milord." They all said knowing it was time to rock and roll.

(Leina)

Leina was nude in her room as she held a long sword in her hand to her hair as she held both ready to cut. "Mother please allow me to bear your longsword and bear your armor." Leina said while cutting her hair before dropping it. "They will help me find the strength." Leina said as she was ready to move. She began to suit up and get dress as it wasn't long until she was done.

Now her hair was braided torts two rings as she now donned her mother's armor. "To the strongest goes the spoils. But despite this... this is my Chronicles and I decide how it will play." Leina said unaware she was being watched.

Soon she heard tapping and the movement of slime causing her to look behind her in shock at what just occurred. "Where are you going Leina?" Melona said as she had made her move unaware she played right into Aster's plan coordinated by Kaguya. "Don't leave me here behind, please." She said before grinning a sadistic grin before her eyes flashed an unholy white.

(Outside)

Panic was started as the tower where Leina's room was exploded as the guards and servants saw this. As this happened Kaguya and Dilan moved to rescue those caught in the crossfire while Aster calmly moved around as well. It was clear to those who saw this that these three were here to help and it also aided the tale when they had the Maiden Knights and Mordred blending in with the crowd.

Once the crowd was handled to a safe enough size Aster left to deal with Melona. Melona should have headed his warning from the start as he went to deal with her.

(Leina vs Melona)

Melona walked out of the fire as she saw the downed and slightly singed Leina on the ground. "I told you no human has ever called me a monster and lived." Melona said glaring down at Leina with a glowing red eye while Leina glared back. "I'm here to kill you exactly as I promised I would." Melona said as she moved her hand hairs to squeeze and soon fired her Acid Milk.

But before the attack could hit a Shield flew in and blocked her attack with ease. Melona was shocked as the shield deflected her attack as it did damage to other areas but not the intended amount to Leina. Melona and Leina looked to where the shield came from and saw Aster in full armor walking out as his cape blew in the wind as his shield was gone and his sword was still sheathed at his waist.

"My apologies was I interrupting something... monster." Aster said as Melona glared at him.

"So you finally show up Aster the Pale Warrior." Melona said as she growled. "How dare you call me a monster!?" She yelled glaring at Melona.

"Oh my apologies I did not mean to offend I was only stating fact." Aster said while glaring at Melona. "Seeing as you serve the Swamp Witch as her pet slime, was born and bred in Hades summoned up by her, and finally you take pleasure in causing harm to others while also doing it out of pure instinct correct me if I'm wrong but does that not classify you as a monster Melona." Aster said while grabbing his shield serving to anger Melona even further.

"Why you." Melona said as Aster held his arms open.

"If you intend to fight me and kill me for calling you a monster then by all means be my guest and attempt to best me in combat." Aster said as he even dropped his defenses as he had but one more test to run before he can say all his stats and skills followed him from his world. "Come on now Melona show me what you got." Aster taunted as Melona then roared out and fired more of her acid milk.

"BURN!" She roared out and in turn Aster's body was aflame by this as he roared in pain.

"Aster!" Leina cried in shock but then to everyone's shock his roar of pain turned into laughter.

*Insert Queens Blade OST: Kuiinzubureido Meinteema

"So this is what it's like to experience damage!" He roared out as Melona was shocked to see this. "So this is pain! This is what my Avatar goes through every time I go questing with him." Aster said realizing this was real and chances of death were high as they ever were if not higher seeing as if he died her then all chances were that he'd die for real.

"Thank you Melona you 'woke me up,' and now thanks to this action I shall deliver to you a fate most deserving." Aster said as he then drew forth his sword as Melona was in shock.

'His armor... it has enchantments that's how he survived that attack.' Melona thought realizing what this meant... he dominated her before and now she knew... she will be in for a huge fight now. 'I need to be careful if this guy is a professional then I'm not the hunter I'm the pray.' She mentally realized knowing Aster drew her into his web.

"Leina." Aster began as he looked to Leina. "Care to join me?" He asked to which Leina nodded and got up.

"Very much would." Leina said taking a battle stance herself.

"You're too stiff." Aster corrected her as he got ready. "Follow my lead and be on guard." Aster said as the way he talked showed to Leina at one point he was just like her in combat. So Leina agreed and mimicked Aster's stance in her own way as Melona saw it was two on one. Melona then roared out and began attacking with her slime sword only for Aster to block it and return the attack with force. The more he moved the more he adjusted to this new body of his.

Leina then ran around him and attacked Melona from the side as she cried out from that. It didn't end there as Melona then stopped Aster's attack from his sword, as he smirked. But then to her shock the shield vanished and was replaced with a phantom version of his main sword to which Melona jumped away. But Leina was soon upon her and attacked as well as Aster saw Leina was a fast learner as when he saw she was about to make a mistake he saved her from it and saw how he did the same move better than her.

Aster blocked a slime attack with his shield before dropping it and the sword. He then jumped over his discarded Shield and summoned his Claymore based weapon Devil Bringer and slammed it down on Melona. Melona cried out in pain from this as she saw the weapon in question. "What kind of sword is that?!" She cried out in shock as Aster smirked.

"Devil Bringer a two handed sword I had acquired as a reward for a quest during the first Chronicles." Aster said while glaring at her. "This weapon is powerful against monsters but even more so against devils... which judging by that reaction proves you are just a monster." Aster said as Melona growled at this before roaring out.

"SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!" She reared out only for Aster to vanish his sword and followed it with a hammer swing as Melona was slammed into the wall by the hammer where she used her slime form to go splat on it to dull the damage. Once that was done Aster walked torts her calmly as he returned to his Knight shield and his sword Grace as he dealt powerful blows to her as Melona glared at him.

"Not even worth the effort of going all out." Aster said as he glared at Melona. "I am in a sporting mood today after such an successful quest... but you had taken my mercy and used it to attack me again... for that I Cannot forgive you." Aster said as he got ready to run Melona through. "This blade shall end it." Aster said as Melona then went for the attack with a roar. But before Aster can slash Melona swiped away from it and went for Leina instead.

*End OST

Aster saw this as Leina used her buckler like shield to block it as best she could. But before this could happen Melona smiled as she was about to take out Leina. "Well one out of three won't be too bad!" Melona called out only to feel a new attack hit her.

"Icy Fang!" Aster roared out as he held his Hero Long Sword as he slammed it at Melona freezing her body in its tracks before she could hit Leina.

"W-what." Melona cried out as she saw what Aster did. Right now her powers were weakened as slimes hated two things, extreme cold and extreme heat and right now Melona was frozen in her tracks.

"I told you Melona." Aster began as he glared upon Melona. "I told you that this day you will know defeat." Aster said as he glared down upon Melona.

"No... Stay back!" Melona called out as she tried to get away but her body was too stiff that she backed off like a human. "Please I take back what I said and did I can change just give me a chance." Melona said as she eased torts the fire while silently sending the acid through her pours to speed of the melting of the ice.

(Nearby)

A set of black armored grieves was running across the ground as the owner of them was in a rush.

(Battle)

"Sorry that chance left when you attacked." Aster said as Melona saw she was making head way the closer she got to the fire. But alas it could not come fast enough as she saw him upon her.

"No." Melona begged as she tried to stall for as long as she could till the fire and acid can melt through the ice.

(Nearby)

More of the armor was shown as the black armor had a demonic look to it. As he ran across the bridge to the Vance Estate and torts the draw bridge.

(Battle)

"Now fall monsters!" Aster roared out but then he heard something the sound of gates being torn down followed by the sound of battle and slaughter. "What?" Aster asked as he looked to where it was.

(Kaguya and Dilan)

"No way." Dilan said as he saw who appeared.

"It can't be." Kaguya said as she saw a familiar suit of armor wielding a two handed dark looking sword they recognized as Cloudthresher.

(Risty and Claudette)

Risty looked ready to dump the loot she acquired as she was met with Claudette. But before a fight could continue Claudette heard her soldiers being attacked and slaughter as she looked to them. She saw a figure in Demonic black armor that's helmet not only hid the owners identity but also made the demonic look come together with the sweeping horns on the side and crimson red eyes.

"Who the heck is that?!" Risty asked as she was even shocked surprising Claudette.

"He's not with you?" Claudette asked as the figure slashed through her soldiers in a one sided battle.

"I thought he was yours." Risty responded as Claudette had more pressing manners to deal with then a thief as she left Risty be and went after the armored figure.

"Stop!" She roared out but she was then blindsided by a fire spell that blasted her back.

"Stay down." The figure said before he went to where Melona, Aster, and Leina were.

(Battle)

The figure landed on the roof as he glared at the foes gathered here while sheathing his sword on his back. "It can't be." Aster said as he honestly didn't anticipate this so either this world was a variant of White Knight Chronicles and this was the actual mask that lead the MAGI, or other players had managed to come to this world as well.

"Melona… by orders of the newly revived Swamp Witch... you are to return to the Marsh Lands that now house the capital of Valgander." The man said as Aster saw this.

"Valgander?" Melona asked but was even more shocked to hear the Swamp Witch was already revived.

"General Dragias." Aster said as he glared at the man who heard this. "I never pictured you serving Madorus." Aster said as he glared at Dragias.

"I admit... my armor does resemble him... but I can assure you I am NOT General Dragias." The not Dragias said as Aster was shocked at how this guy confirmed his suspicions. "Nor do I serve Madorus but my true master has joined with the Swamp Witch who now rules by his side until this world knows his name." The man said as he glared at Aster.

"Then what do I call you?" Aster said as the black armor figured scoffed a bit.

"Call me... Kira, the Ebony Black General, Kira." Kira introduced as Aster saw this.

"I'm guessing it's using the terms, Kill All and combining it into 'Kira,' eh General Kira?" Aster asked while glaring at Kira.

"That is so though I am glad for this information." Kira said as he smirked. "See you've proven to me that my master and I are not alone here." He said causing Aster to go wide eyed at this.

"Well I cannot let you get away with or without Melona." Aster said as he glared at Kira.

"I'm afraid it cannot be helped." Kira said as he then used a flame slash and freed Melona from her prison of ice. "I will cover you run." Kira said as Melona glared at him.

"Who made you, boss!" She yelled as Kira then glared at her with a growl causing her to step back. "Uh I mean I need to deal with Leina first." Melona said as Kira scoffed at this.

"Very well be quick about it." Kira said as Melona smiled and attacked but as Aster tried to stop her he was stopped by Kira and her weapon. Leina was forced away from the battle for a bit as Melona went for her revenge.

The two pushed each other back as Aster and Kira glared at this. "So I'm guessing you want the Knights Ark or something along those lines?" Aster asked as he needed to discern who Kira was in game or what Guild he and his 'master,' were members of.

"Hardly my Master and I have no intention of instigating a possible Final Awakening so you may keep your Ark less my master orders you to relinquish it." Kira said as Aster glared a bit.

"You're not getting away with Melona she needs to answer for her crimes." Aster said as Kira scoffed.

"It seems we've reached an impasse." Kira said as he began to take battle stance ready to end the fool who stood in her way. "Let us settle this with our blades then." Kira said as Aster entered his own battle stance.

"Very well lets." Aster said but his mind wasn't as confident as his demeanor. 'This is now actually PVP what's worse is the fact that I know nothing about this player or what Guild he works with.' Aster thought as he kept his guard up as the two walked around each other sizing the other up. 'I need to be smart about this there's no telling what he can do.' Aster thought as he knew he needed to exercise caution here.

*Insert White Knight Chronicles OST A Worthy Foe Approaches

Kira charged at Aster with his longsword weapon as he knew he has to be smart about this as he went in as well as when Kira strike down at him, he parry away with his shield and push him back before slashing his sword at him while he dodge it, as he leap back and called the spell, "FLAME LANCE!"

"ARCTIC LANCE!" Aster quickly called out as they both elemental Lance attack towards each other as they collided and created an explosion of ice and fire.

From the smoke came forth Kira as Aster was taken a bit surprise by this as Kira called out thrusting his sword out, "FLAME FANG!"

Aster quickly raise his shield casting out a protecting boost as well as the sword strike his shield, he was push back by the strength of his enemy as he slide across a bit before he called out, "TWIN SWORDS!"

Switching to his duel sword quickly as Kira silently called forth a katana as he switch out a longsword for a katana weapon he grasp with both hand but could swing it fast as he meet Aster weapon head on with it as the two clash.

Aster was putting his skills to the test as sense he got here, he never really had a serious challenge, even that big creature just seem like a warm up for him, but now a serious player has come and he's not holding back, so nether should he as well as he called out, "WHIRLWIND!"

As a massive wind came forth as Kira stood his ground again the wing as he was push back by the attack as he use his sword to block the best he could, but it over came him as it lifted him up in the air and cuts and scratches are shown on his armor before coming down in a kneeling way, as he said to Aster, "Impressive, you are stronger than I would have thought."

"That is just a taste of my power, as you may not know I still got a few more tricks to use up my sleeve," Aster said as Kira laugh at this as he said, "So do I."

The two soon charged at each other with their weapon hanging at this sword as they swing at each other and clash creating a small shockwave around them.

(Leina and Melona)

The two were in combat as Melona use her slime sword and breast milk as Leina does her best to strike at the slime creature before dodging a squirt of milk coming at her as that almost hit her but she can feel the splash effect of it as some of it touched her skin as she grit her teeth a bit and try to counter fast, as she slash across Melona, with more ease than before as it seem there a power within the armor itself she didn't know about.

Melona had a look of pain before regenerated her form and slash across at Leina, as she held up her shield to block it before roll to the side to dodge another squirt of acid milk.

An Explosion of acid milk fill the sky as Leina dodge the blast as she could as Melona laugh loudly as she called out, "Coming up is this all you can do?"

(Down below)

Elina saw all the chaos around her as fire was breaking out and fights were going on as she look up and saw her sister with the acid milk stuff raining down at and around her, as she called out, "Leina! Eh! What is this stuff?!"

(Back up top with Leina and Melona)

Leina was back up in a corner as she was down on her hands and knees as Melona came up to her laughing a bit as she said, "There's nowhere left to run. So do you want to fight now? You didn't even stand a chance last time."

Melona had her hands cover her breast and crotch part as she said, "You were like, Oh I was so embarrass. Hehahaha!"

Leina didn't know what she can do, as she felt scared, she accidently let out some pee as a small puddle form under her as Melona pointed it out as she said, "Ah-oh, did you wet yourself?"

Leina just blush at that as Melona just laugh again as she said, "Oh too bad your corner now."

AS Melona move closer to Leina as she had no place to go as she was about to attack again until as spell came forth as Aster voice is heard, "Ice Fang!"

Melona quickly dodge out of the way of that as quickly as she could but got nick at her leg as it was now frozen as she called out, "Damn it!"

Aster came in and landed next to Leina as she called out, "Aster!"

"Hey you missed me?" He said with a smiling tone as Kira came in next to Melona as he saw the ice on her as he said, "Can't you do anything yourself!?"

"Shut up, I thought you were supposed to kill that guy already!?" Melona said as Kira huff as he said to her, "Then you are clearly mistaken fi you thought he's weak, he far from it."

Aster help Leina up, minding the smell of piss he suddenly notice but didn't say anything as he said to her, "You alright?"

"Y-yea, she just strong, I don't know if I can win" Leina said as Aster huff a bit as he said, "Don't stay that, if you do, you have already lost the battle."

Leina look up at Aster as he said to her, from the words of the old man Zangetsu of Bleach as he said, "There one of you and one of her, so what is there to fear?"

Leina blink to that as with something started to click in Leina as he was right, there is one of her enemy Melona, and one of herself as Aster look towards Leina as he said to her with confident as these are the words that got him by in WKC facing a player, "Abandon your fear, Stand up and face her, and don't give an inch. If you run you will age, hesitate and you'll die!"

Leina shaking suddenly stops as Aster was right as he look towards Melona as her leg was being thaw out with a bit of help from Kira, she is as vulnerable as anyone or anything else… she just need to not be afraid.

As she started to stand on her own as Kira turn to this and see what was going on as a moment ago he saw Leina was scared, but now a new look were in her eyes as her hand were shaking a bit, she place both hands on her sword and keep them steady as Aster smile to this as he said to her, "Don't fear your enemy, make her fear you instead, and keep pushing forward becoming stronger, as that what it means to be a warrior!"

Melona had her legs thaw out finally as she turn to Leina to see the look of fear on her, but to her surprise she saw her running at them fast as she give a battle cry Kira was about to defend against her, until he got side tracked by Aster as he came up from behind while leaping over Leina as he called out, "Gale Thrust!"

As a burst of air came forth and hit Kira back making Melona wide open for attack as Leina strike down at her as Melona panic a bit as she dodge out of the way as Leina strike the ground, creating a huge slash mark as Melona look a little worry about that as she look up at Leina as she said, "W-what the hell is wrong with you?"

"I will defeat you devil, and make my dreams come true," Leina said as Melona just got piss at that as she stood up and said, "Who cares about your dream if your dead!"

Melona fire acid milk at her again as Aster came in and block the attack as Melona got pissed at this as Aster smile and said, "Also another thing, if you got friends, you're stronger together if you're facing an enemy."

Leina smile to this as she nodded as she saw Kira coming at them as he aimed his sword at Aster, Leina quickly acted as she parry away the sword at the same time swinging her sword at Kira cracking the armor a bit as Kira flew back and growl as he said, "Damn it, this isn't how this is supposed to go."

Aster smile to Leina as he said, "Ready to fight partner?" as Leina look to him and nodded as she won't be afraid anymore.

As the two charged at the two as Leina was taking on Kira with Aster taking on Melona as they fight in near sync.

(Down below)

As everyone in the courtyard look up and saw the fight that was going on with Elina watching the whole thing play out as she said in a silent tone, "Leina?"

Claudette came limping in as Elina saw this as she said, "Claudette!" as she went over to her oldest sister as she help her out as she said, "Where Leina, where is she?"

Without saying anything else as the sound of sword fighting is heard above as she look up and to her surprise to see Leina fighting alongside Aster and going against two enemies as she saw how they fought together, as Aster slash at Melona before Leina leap over and slash down at her with Aster come up and raise his shield he summon back to block Kira's attack and counter attack.

She never saw a fight like this before as she knew Leina wasn't that strong of a fighter but she holding strong against two powerful enemies with one strong person alongside her and he as hardly doing much as Claudette said, "How could this be?"

(Back to the fight)

AS both side were getting winded as Kira held strong trying to protect Melona and trying to attack the Vance girl but Aster keep getting in his way with a counter and Leina follow up with an attack herself, as aster felt happy for some reason, like the first time he was playing WKC again for the first time, Melona was trying her best trying to kill both warrior and just keep getting push back, and Leina pushing her limit as she never fought like this before but she can feel her heart racing.

Both side went at it again as Aster lead the attack this time with Leina following up with Melona fire more acid breast milk trying her hardest to hit Aster just once with Kira charge out with his sword raise as he clash with Leina, as Leina was having trouble against him, but she wasn't going to give up as she pull from deep down as she give a yell as she push forward and then-

*Slash CRACK!

*End OST

Kira head jerk to the side as the strike hit him, and the helmet started to break as he lifted up his head to Aster surprise to see Leina do that, as she had some strength within her, it just a matter of bringing it out, as he saw she was at least a higher than an average warrior than he saw some player become with very few getting to the same level as him and his friend, but none the less he is impress as give a person like Leina an opening, she could do major damage to a higher level player.

Kira growl as he turn as it show his helmet was breaking more as it chip off a part of it showing Kira's eye from the back as Aster smile to this as he said, "How do you like that, even a person as strong as Leina here can get a good hit at you."

*Insert White Knight Chronicles OST Jet-Black Wings

"I… underestimated her then… but not no more," Kira said as he summoned forth a familiar dark long sword with a huge dark sheath as Aster pull Leina away as he said, "Get back Leina, he's about to go all out."

"How do you know? What is he doing?" Leina said as Kira became to change as he chanted, "O Dinivas, Deliverer of Dark and Dread; Ruler of the Ancient Shadows. Grant me you power."

Aster quickly summon forth the gauntlet and the dagger as he began to chant as his words began to echo, "O Wizel White Warrior wielder of the ancient Sword. Grant me your power!""

Leina was feeling a great power within Aster, just feeling it standing next to him it was just… overwhelming to the feeling as soon enough as Aster stab the dagger into his Gauntlet and held it up as he said at the same time as Kira as he pull the sword out from the sheath, "VERTO!"

With the invocations completed a light shined just as Elina and Claudette arrived. "Leina I'm WOW!?" Elina cried out in shock as she saw what was happening.

Kira started off as a mystic circle appeared around him. He then raised his left arm off causing the circle to change form. He then swung his left arm to the left just as an ebony black armor rose up behind him. Once he did this its form was a Black Warrior with a phoenix motif to it as Kira spread his arms out while the Knight behind him mimicked this movement. Soon both grabbed their chest area completing the transformation as soon a new foe had appeared to which its eyes flashed to life. The Black Knight drew forth its Dinivas rapier and spread its wings out taking a battle stance ready for combat.

"A Black Knight?" Melona asked as she never seen an actual Black Knight before even if it's a suit of armor like this one.

A magical circle appeared around Aster as it spun around at his feet. He wasn't done as he was calm before he did a little show of it. He raised up his left hand much like Leonard did when summoning his Knight as it mimicked his movement. As Aster's Knight rose up he began to float to its chest while the two spread their arms out ready for what was next. The two then crossed their arms completing the union before the White Knight began to stand up with the Runic Shield on its left arm.

Soon the White Knight rose up as it reached for its waist to pull out a sword. "Face the power of Talion!" Aster called out as he drew forth Talion a weapon capable of harming any knight save for the Sun King. Soon the cape fluttered out once more as the eyes flashed to life showing it was ready to do battle.

"Where did those come from?!" Claudette asked in shock as Leina saw it.

"Aster?" She asked looking to the White Knight who took a battle stance.

"Wait that dog is in that thing?" Elina asked in shock as the two Knights took a battle stance.

"I don't believe it." Claudette said as she never seen anything like this before.

The two Knights began their battle as they charged at each other and began trading sword blows against each other. The battle was a great one that cannot be denied but even then it was clear there were differences in power between them not only in Pactmakers but in the armors basic uses. The White Knight Charged at its ebony foe as their swords clashed and created sparks again each other

"No way." Melona said as she saw this go on.

The White Knight then slashed against the Black Knight in a spin attack but it jumped away and spread out its wings and flew around. "Wait it can fly?!" Leina called out in shock as the Black Knight had air superiority here.

The Black Knight raised its blade and charged forth as Aster reacted. "Leina!" He called out and used his knight's armor and shield to defend her from its ebony foes attack.

"Weak you have compassion such a useless emotion in the field of battle." The Black Knight called out using Kira's voice as he glared down upon his foes. Once the attack stopped Melona attacked once more as Leina was forced to avoid the attack again. Divinas charged at Wizel and Wizel in turn returned the favor. When their blades met it created a shockwave around them that crumbled the building they were on and in turn Elina and Claudette were blown away. Leina managed to grab onto Wizel in time as the two Knights fell down. Leina cried out in shock as they fell. The two Knights continued their brawl as they charged out of the building wall destroying it as they traded blow after blow.

(With Dilan and Kaguya)

"Oh crap." Dilan cursed as he saw this with Kaguya.

"The Black Knight here?!" Kaguya asked in shock as she saw this. "This is insane." Kaguya said but logically it was to be expected that the other two Knights managed to arrive here as well.

"Your orders?" Mordred asked as Dilan spoke. "Get everyone to safety leave this one to Aster." Dilan ordered to which Mordred nodded and left with the Maiden Knights to carry out the order.

(Battle Leina vs Melona)

The two were tearing apart the Vance Estate in their brawl but it could not be helped at the moment. Leina was holding on as hard as she could to the Wizel but she was a dead weight and she knew it. She then saw an opening and jumped off and rolled on the ground of another building floor. When she did she yelped in shock as she was forced to avoid an attack from Melona. "We have unfinished business Leina." Melona taunted to which Leina cursed her luck.

(Aster vs Kira)

The two Knights ran across the ground slashing each other. But Dinivas was airborne while slashing as Wizel was stuck on the ground. The two slashed and hacked at each other as even though Aster had the superior weapon equipped Kira had the skies at her disposal. When Dinivas landed Kira was shield bashed by the White Knight who knocked her into the water. But Wizel followed as it wasn't just a shield bash it was a tackle. The two rolled around a bit before landing in the water at more shallow waters causing a wave there.

"Holy fuck." Risty said while holding her loot as she saw the two giant knights go at it.

Aster focused his Magic into Talion causing it to release an aura version of itself that was larger and hovered around the blade like a second skin. He then roared out and slashed at Kira causing him to be knocked back from it. He wasn't done as Aster began to hack and slash at his foe even going as far as to send him tumbling back from a shield bash. The White Knight then slashed again but the Black Knight grabbed the White Knight by its face and with a good grip flung him around before throwing him to the estate courtyard. The Black Knight then spread its wings and flew after the White Knight before hovering over the ground a bit.

*end OST

The White Knight was in a sitting position on the wall as ruble covered its form as Kira scoffed. "So this is the mighty White Knight the Pale Warrior." The Black Knight scoffed no doubt savoring his victory. "But here I am about to crack you open and forcibly undue the pact." Kira said landing as he began to walk torts the White Knight with blade raised.

"In PVP I know how to play to win... in this land I know the victor gains the spoils... but most of all you made a mistake facing me after the day you've had." Kira scoffed but just as she was about to strike the White Knight down something happened. The White Knight began to move on its own or in this case Aster willed it so and was able to block the attack with Talion. The Blades struggled to overpower the other as they glared at each other.

"So you do have some fight left in you." Kira said as Aster glared.

"I won't let you win." Aster said as he wasn't done. "I know you and I both hate losing." Aster said before they pushed each other off.

"Then so be it." Kira said but then the two stopped in their tracks.

The White Knight got its feet under it but was looking upon its form as an azure blue aura surrounded it. "What?" Aster asked as he felt his strength return and increase. But this gave him a sense of foreboding worried that Wizel was not thorough with his check. Though as long as it does not become a dark violet purple he was ok for the time being.

The Black Knight had a similar aura but a blazing orange color as he looked upon his form and felt a similar taste. "No." He cursed knowing what this will mean for him. "I will end this now!" He roared out casting off the aura and in turn began the climax.

*Insert White Knight Chronicles OST: The Pale Hero

"Let's begin the climax!" Aster called out ready to end this.

The two Knights charged once more and when their blades met again they created an even stronger shockwave as they struggled to overpower the other. Soon they pushed each other back as the White Knight jumped before landing back in the courtyard. The Black Knight of course gave chase as they began to do battle once more.

Blade met blade as they fought it out while the White Knight kept damage to a minimum. Elina and Claudette once they recovered saw this as Claudette honestly felt outmatched now. "The Pale Warrior." Elina said as she realized the Pale Warrior or White Warrior part of Aster's title came from the White Knight. Wizel jumped away from another attack as the two parried as they knew something had to give soon.

"Your strength is impressive White Warrior." Kira said as Aster smirked in response.

"Yours isn't too bad either." Aster responded as they glared at each other. "But it's time we end this don't you think?" Aster said as he just had to wait this out.

"Very well lets!" Kira roared out before charging at Aster. But Aster anticipated this as their battle took them to a spot with unstable ground and with the Knights combined weight it was only a matter of time till it gives. So it was no surprised when it gave under the Black Knight and caused it to lose its footing. The White Knight controlled by Aster acted fast as he charged after the Black Warrior and slashed through him. The Black Knight felt this and was forced to pull back from the fight as it inspected the wound. IT may not appear on the armor but even he knew he took a major blow there.

"Dammit." Kira cursed as he glared at Aster for this one. "I'll be back for Melona." Kira said as he then spread out his wings once more and made his escape as unfortunately Aster could not fly.

"Stop him!" Dilan called out only for Aster to stop him.

"No let him go he'll be a messenger." Aster said as he knew someone was targeting them now and he wanted this new foe to know they mean business.

"Come on we still have work to do here." Kaguya said as they had to move now. Luckily that last shockwave got Claudette and Elina blown back a bit by its force.

*end OST

(Leina vs Melona)

Leina stood ready with her sword and shield cornered in the building she landed in after jumping off the White Knight as Melona stalked torts her pray. Leina try to think of something quick and then she notice the dips and holes in the roof that Melona made from her acid breast milk during the tussle between the White Knight and the Black Knight and in turn came up with something on the fly as she got ready.

Melona step closer to them as Leina counted as she thought '5 more step, 4, 3.' Melona didn't get any closer as Leina wanted her to get close as she said, "Monster, I got places to go after we beat you."

Melona just got pissed at that as Melona said, "Did you call me monster?"

While Melona continue stalking torts her, Leina counted out as she thought, '2 more… one more.'

It was then that Melona stopped before the final step as she knew she needed to get the monster to move. "Come get me monster!" Leina called as Melona glared at her.

"Again? You're going to suffer." Melona threatened as she continued to stalk torts Leina and took the final step.

"Now!" Leina called before charging and throwing her long sword at Melona's feet causing her to lose her footing and unintentionally squirt her acid breast milk and hitting the ground beneath her.

Leina charged at Melona with a roar before coming upon her. Leina then squeezed her armored chest against Melona as her armor offered her protection from any acid while also pulling Melona into a bear hug before the two fell to the floor. "You tricked me!" Melona yelled as Leon smirked at Leina's quick thinking before realizing something.

"You never know until you try right?" Leina asked as she held Melona in a bear hug of sorts as her next phase of her plane came forth.

"No! It hurts its backing up! I can't!" Melona cried out as her breasts expanded. It was soon girl's breasts have reached their limit but before they could go off someone intervened to help. Melona then screamed in pain as soon an explosion rocked the roof of the Vance Family estate caused by Melona's breasts.

From the explosion the White Knight was caught in it as Kaguya and Dilan grabbed onto the Knight and held onto the shield arm while he used his free arm, after vanishing Talion, to grab Leina.

(With Claudette)

Claudette was shocked at this as she did not expect to see this happen as the giant armor controlled by Aster and Leina both held great strength within.

(With Elina)

"Leina!" Elina called out worried for her elder sister's safety.

(With Risty)

Risty was impressed as she sat on a pillar as she held her loot she managed to save during the whole commotion. "That was nicely done Leina and Aster you planned it to a point and improvised when it went south." Risty said as she smirked at what she saw.

(Mordred)

"Report." Mordred ordered as he look to the Maids.

"We have already begun spreading the word and keeping the story as factual as possible. Already we have the Adventurers Guilds in every town monitored for updates on our lords and lady as per your instructions." Enas said as she bowed to Mordred in her maid uniform once more.

"Good I shall inform them of this then." Mordred said as he knew his lord Aster would salvage this operation somehow and was proven correct.

(Scene Break the Next Morning)

Leina woke up in the arms of the White Knight as it walked out of the water to find Risty sitting on a stump. Once it made land she saw Dilan and Kaguya jump off as the Knight let her off his left arm. Once this was done it kneeled down on one knee before vanishing and leaving Aster in its place. "You ok?" Aster asked as Leina nodded a bit.

"Yes a bit sore though." Leina said as Kaguya nodded.

"It's to be expected." Kaguya said before Risty spoke up.

"Hey there... so was I a part of this grand scheme of yours Aster to make a hero out of you and your two friends there?" Risty asked with a smirk as Aster saw her and sighed.

"Yes in a way I did buy you off giving you 200 or trying to... but like you said to the victory goes the spoils." Aster said to which Risty smirked back at this.

"So how much is my and Vance girls' freedom is?" Risty asked as Aster smirked a bit as Dilan was lost.

Aster then pulled out a pouch and then tossed it over to Risty as she saw the Gold inside it. "Keep it I have more to spare." Aster said as Risty saw this.

"What is it?" Risty asked as she was skeptical.

"100 gold pieces I took 100 as payment." Aster said as Risty smirked in response.

"Fair trade." Risty said as Aster then looked to Leina.

"So where will you go next?" Aster asked as Leina looked to this as well.

"I plan on going on another adventure." Leina said as Aster smirked a bit.

"Well... if you do so I'd suggest making connections while you can." Aster said as he took out a ring from his person as Dilan saw this.

"Wow a Guild Ring for her?" Dilan asked as Aster smirked a bit.

"Just like you willing to recruit anyone who catches your interest." Kaguya said as Aster shrugged.

"What can I say, she reminds me of myself at her stage." Aster said as this surprised Leina to no end.

"By the way whose cat girl and spear boy?" Risty asked as Kaguya sighed.

"Kaguya… the Silver Goddess also called the Lunar Archer in some circles." Kaguya introduced as she looked to Risty.

"Dilan the Crimson Winged Warrior." Dilan said as it seems introductions were almost done.

"Well I'm." Risty began but Kaguya cut her off instead.

"We know Risty Benevolent Bandit of the Wild." Kaguya said before smirking. "I like to stay in the know on things after all." Kaguya said to which Risty sighed in response.

"Stalker." Risty countered to which Aster saw this and spoke.

"If you desire to head to the Border I know a shortcut." Aster saw this. "Let me show you what this 'Guild Ring,' can do." Aster said as soon Dilan and Kaguya took hold of the arms of both Risty and Leina before all of them ported away.

(With Nanael at a cliff)

The Blue haired Angel landed on the cliff as Nanael looked a bit angry. "What is this? Why is this happening to me? I wanted to be the one to start the first Queen's Blade!" Nanael yelled out releasing her frustration just as Marianne arrived and smiled.

"Oh don't worry Nanael there's always next time." Marianne said as Nanael threw a bit of a tantrum in a cute way.

(Scene Break Soldiers of HOLY Guild Hall)

The trio arrived at the guest entrance as Leina and Risty were caught off guard. "What is this?" Risty asked in shock at what she saw.

"This is the headquarters of the Soldiers of HOLY to which we are the leaders of." Aster said as he gestured to the Hall and to both Dilan and Kaguya.

"Don't worry you two will be welcomed accordingly." Kaguya said as they agreed to this for now.

(Scene Break a few days later Black Knight and Melona)

The Black Knight flew through the air as Melona held on as best she could. "I can't believe I was beaten by those two!?" Melona said as Kira was silent during the flight.

"We cannot worry about it first we have announcements to be made." Kira said as he then dive bombed into the Storm dome around the Swamp Lands. Melona cried out in shock but was surprised no pain came. She saw the Knight get hit by the thunder but was unaffected for the most part. Soon once they broke through Melona was shocked at how drastically the lands had changed seeing as a large part of it was replaced with a city that connected at one end to the Swamp Witches domain.

"Welcome Melona to the new capital of the Yshrenian Empire Valgander." Kira presented as Melona was shocked at this information

(Inside the Throne Room)

"So is the Swamp Witch truly resurrected?" Melona asked as they entered the room with Kira in his normal form now.

"That I have Melona." Came a voice as Melona looked and saw to her joy the Swamp Witch Welbellia but this time something changed on her. Particularly the bug at her crotch it moved on its own and rested itself on her shoulder and cuddled up to her before returning to being her panties.

"My witch what when?" Melona asked to which Welbellia smiled.

"We have our new benefactor and lord to thank for that." Welbellia said as Kira walked forth.

"Yes we do." Airi said as soon Melona saw a second Wraith walk in with Airi as Melona saw how Airi was being a bit submissive.

"You must me Melona I am Lara leader of the Dark Servers of the throne room and I am an upper class Wraith." Lara introduced as she was dressed as a sexy head maid.

"What happened while I was gone?" Melona asked in shock seeing this.

"I had happened." Came a new voice as soon Melona saw a throne with a man in a demonic outfit sitting upon it while holding a staff and radiating a dark aura that even made Melona wet.

Kira knew who this man was as despite his outfit being that of Emperor Madoras she knew who he was in a past life. His skin was pale white with his eyes holding an unholy topaz while the white was a pitch black collar. "Introducing the heir to Emperor Madoras, the new ruler of this world for your witness alone... I present to you Emperor Solaris of Yshrenia." Kira said as Solaris sat upon his throne his silver/ebony hair flowed behind him as he held a mask of sorts in his hand. Above him an energy ball as powerful as the sun shined as he sat upon his seat of power.

"Kira... your armor is damaged." Solaris said as Kira bowed to his master shivering in possibly pleasure as his lords voice echoed with a demonic aura.

"My apologies your Excellency... I had hit a snag when retrieving Melona." Kira said as Solaris raised his hand calmly.

"Remove that armor to have it repaired and explain." Solaris ordered his most loyal to which Kira nodded. First he went for his helmet and removed it allowing the air to pop out as from behind him long ebony black hair flowed out. He then began to remove his armor by segments before it was all around him. But what shocked Melona was the fact Kira wasn't a man at all he was in fact a she as she kneeled before her lord.

"Thank you... brother." Kira said to her brother as her breasts were exposed and she could only take so much before she needed to breathe again if the armor wasn't enchanted of course. "Now I learned that during my retrieval of Melona… I learned that we did not arrive here alone." Kira said smiling to her brother who she had no problems being nude before save for her thong.

Solaris saw this and smirked a bit in response. "I see... Aster you bastard." Solaris said as he remembered Aster quiet well one of the three Guild leaders of the Soldiers of HOLY. The only Guild to truly give the Flame of Yshrenia a run for its money.

"How shall we proceed?" Kira asked as Solaris saw his new subjects.

"Later." Solaris said as he stood up and levitated to the ground as he saw Menace, Airi, Leila, and Melona had all gathered. "Here my proclamation I am your new lord and master." Solaris began as Kira smiled and went to her brother and grinded up against him showing her love for him went beyond that of brother and sister. "As I am sure many of you have doubts but let me make this clear... any insubordination without just cause... will be looked to as treason... and treason is punished with death. To those knew followers I ask for your loyalty or your heads." Solaris said as his threat was clear.

'Follow him or die.'

"Show us this strength then." Melona said as she and Menace had their doubts.

"Very well." Solaris began as the Swamp Witch smirked as he took the mask once more. "O Adolmaea... Shining Sovereign, Supreme light of the ancient skies... grant me your power!" Solaris said as Melona knew this chant while Kira stepped back from him while he grabbed the floating mask. "Verto." He said before putting the mask on.

The Yshrenian crest on his mask shined to life before the two horns spread out from it. Solaris was soon shielded by the summoning crest which then released flames as hot as the sun itself while surrounding him in a force of power and flames. Rising up behind him a golden giant was seen mimicking his movement as he had his arms spread just like the armors did.

Soon he banished the fires and in his place was an armor of true regal design. It even had a humanoid voice but its entire aura and appearance made all those who saw it feel intimidated outclassed. "This... is my proof of power... my Sun King." Solaris said as he presented it and gestured to Valgander. "And this entire city no this fortress I had risen it from its depths and revived it. If that is not proof then what you state is heresy." Solaris said as Welbelia stopped Melona from attacking.

"He speaks truth... he has powers even beyond my own." Welbellia said as she then kneeled down. "For this power I swear fealty to you Solaris Emperor of Yshrenia." She said and to this the Swamp Witch's minions all kneeled down before him as did Kira and Solaris own guardians.

"Good." He said as he saw the first steps to his path has been made clear.

(Back with Aster, Kaguya, and Leila)

"So we have allies in the Dwarven people and neighbors in the Elven people." Aster said as they were in a meeting room right now.

"Yes I was able to keep my village's main income alive as long as I don't hunt more than is needed. I accepted those terms and they accepted my terms." Kaguya said as Dilan then spoke.

"Plus thanks to the Dwarven people I learned about another land called Hinomoto which I plan on visiting soon." Dilan said to which Aster agreed to this.

"If that is so then we will remain I need to ensure our credit as heroic figures and warriors is spread out. If this Kira person is from our world then we must ensure that if anyone else from our world has come here they know of us and can find us." Aster said as he sat there.

"Sound ok to me." Dilan said as he sat there himself before noticing how empty the meeting room is. "If we can find others from the guild that would be great." Dilan said as he looked at the empty halls.

"But until then I think it's time to make some changes around here." Aster said as they have held this off for far too long." Aster said as they had to move now.

"About time." Kaguya said as it was time to make their announcement.

(Later Throne of Heroes)

Aster, Kaguya, and Dilan sat on their thrones as the guardians, Leina, and Risty had gathered here. It was Aster who spoke as he saw Leina and Sophia glaring at each other. Apparently Sophia and Leina didn't get a long considering she was half monster. "Everyone, I would like to apologize for leaving the Hall on my own as I did. There will be time to fill you in on the details of my findings but we have a far more pressing matter to attend to." Aster said as Risty and Leina heard this. Aster then nodded to Kaguya who nodded back before she took out three fire arrows and aimed them all to the flags.

Soon she let them loose as the scattered and hit the flags belonging to Aster, Kaguya, and Dilan as soon they were ash. "As it stands we are in a land unfamiliar to us thus we must learn to adapt and to start things off it pleases me to say that we now welcome two new members into our Guild." Aster stated as they all heard this.

"New members?" Risty asked to which Leina shrugged as the few days there were here they had yet to locate any new people here.

Soon Leina narrowly dodged and arrow as did Risty as they saw the arrows were aimed at them but not to hit them. They were meant to catch their attention as on the arrows were to their shock Guild Rings the ones Aster showed them. "I welcome the warrior maidens who fight to become Queen and embody what it means to be a warrior maiden." Aster began as soon two new flags rolled forth from where Dilan and Kaguya's once stood in the hall. "Welcome your new leaders who shall serve to become the new great warriors to honor those who have long since vanished." Aster said as soon all eyes were on the shocked Leina and Risty.

"Leina the Wandering Warrior and Risty the Benevolent Bandit of the Wilds." Aster called out as he looked upon the guardians who then proceeded to kneel before the three heroic leaders. "Now my most important order to you all." Aster began before he stood up for his final proclamation. "Go forth upon this world perform the deeds of justice! Save those who cannot protect themselves! And spread the name of the Soldiers of HOLY across this world! Do so until there isn't a human, monster, or any other creature alive who has not heard of our guild." Aster ordered to which Fey smiled.

"Your proclamation has been heard so we shall make your wish so Lord Aster!" Fey called out to the surprise of both Leina and Risty as Risty had to admit Aster sure had a way with leading this people. "All hail to a new era of heroes and adventurers!" Fey called out as the entire room was filled with this.

"All hail!" They all called out as even the twins were on board for this direction.

'And hopefully, we can find our friends again someway somehow.' Aster thought as he looked to them. 'Or any other player who ended up here to send a message that they are not alone here.' Aster thought knowing that he will reunite them all if they are here and if not live out their memories so they are never forgotten.

(Start opening Song)

*Insert White Knight Chronicles Opening the Travelers

-Oh so quietly-

The song began as the scene showed a sky view of the Vance Estate from a large hill before it was followed by the Queen's Capital.

-Eyes of the angels open wide, Aria-

The scene then showed Elven Forest, and then the Dwarven Mountains as dwarves were seen mining while the Elves were farming before topping it off with and airship flying away with flapping wings like a bird.

-To a world yet unseen by you-

The scene showed a young Leina walking around the Vance Estate with Elina before passing by her mother's armor and stopping. It was followed by an image of Risty in her burned down home from childhood, and finished with Claudette looking at her mother's grave.

-Arise! The journey's begun!-

The song began to pick up as it showed Aster, Kaguya, and Dilan with their guild while holding their weapons of choice before images of passed members appeared to be replaced with Leina, Risty, and the Floor Guardians. Soon the White Knight appeared with its eyes flashing to life as the scene with each guitar drop changed to different images and locations all filled with adventures and battles. It then topped off with Aster, Kaguya, and Dilan facing Solaris and Kira in mortal combat. It was then joined with Leina and Claudette glaring each other down ready to fight as well with Leina holding a spinning top like item and Claudette holding a card in one hand and a top of her own hanging from her belt.

The scene then hit the max when it showed The White Knight facing the Sun King while the Moon Maiden and Dragon Knight faced the Black Knight. It then followed up with showing Aster without his helmet as images of the White Knight in action flashed behind him before ending with the White Knight drawing its blade.

-Heaven is spilling her heart around-

The scene started with Aster as he was doing his day to day stuff from reading reports, accepting Quests, and just relaxing with a map of Gainos behind him. Then Kaguya walked behind him and patted his shoulder as it changed again.

-Open your palm and see what you've found-

The scene then showed Kaguya with her daily activities as she was working on strategies, training, and just plain hunting for game. Then Dilan jumped on her back smiling like the goofball he was.

-Somewhere in the fog, a moment we forgot-

The scene showed Dilan running around in a slight panic before showing him in battle spinning his spear around before topping it off with him snoozing a bit. It then showed Leina walking behind him with her hands behind her back as she smiled a bit.

-Remember my darling you're loved but you're lost-

The scene showed Leina walking about a bit before showing her training and with her sword as it seems she was training with Aster as he showed her sword play before it changed again.

-Raising your hands to a beckoning sky-

The scene showed General Kira walking forth with the Black Knight behind her as she glared from her armor that made it seem she was a man and not a woman.

-Splinters of light are burning your eyes-

It then showed Solaris sitting on his throne, casting is spells in battle, and even playing with his Knights Ark bored out of his mind. It then showed images of the enemies from Solaris to Kira in her armor, Welbellia with her magic active petting her familiar Hades bug, then to Melona, followed up by Airi, then Menace, then Liliana, and finally topped it off with his own floor guardians who protect Valgander.

-Wounded and blind-

The scene then showed Leina in a noble lady dress and Aster in a suit of his own as they danced around a bed of water in a waltz each step taken causing the water to glow.

-And pining for… The gaze of a mother-

The dance was accompanied by images of Aster's new and old friends as well as the warriors who would be both friend and enemies during the Queens Blade Tournament. It then tipped off to Kira in a showgirl dress of the time as she was dancing in a similar manner to Kara in the original White Knight Chronicles. Btu as she danced the scene switched between herself in the armor accompanied by Solaris and Claudette fighting Aster, Leina, Kaguya, and Dilan switch back and forth constantly.

-No, no you can't go back-

The scene then showed images of each Guardian as they were either arguing, laughing, or fighting before showing the same thing for the Flames of Yshrenia own Guardians.

-Don't you dare and try to go back-

The scene then began as Aster was walking with Kaguya and Dilan as they glared upon the oncoming foes as it began a montage.

-Step by step you're all alone! Walking towards tomorrow-

The scene hit the peak as it montaged to every monster in this world as the scene then topped off with Aster stabbing the dagger into the slot on his gauntlet, Kaguya pulled the arrow on her Knights Ark, and Dilan with the Dragon themed lasso belt wrapped around his waist making a Kamen Rider Pose. "VERTO!" They called out and in turn summoning their Knights.

-I follow you beyond the clouds-

The scene showed Aster raising his left hand summoning his Knight Armor. It then showed Dilan crossing his arms over his head before bringing them down as his Dragon Knight Armor rose up behind him. Then it showed Kaguya bowing for a moment before the armor rose up revaling the Moon Maiden while Kaguya stood up straight like a magician of sorts.

-I search for your love in my dreams-

The scene then split into three as it showed the White Knight ready as it slashed through a Grand Gigas. It then exploded behind him bested by the Pale Warrior.

-Seeking west end wind, East End Sea-

The scene then showed Dilan in his Dragon Knight Incorruptus armor as he stabbed through a giant frog creature with his Trident ending it with ease.

-We have one, one destiny-

The scene was soon followed up with Kaguya in the Moon Maiden Incorruptus as she fired an arrow torts the moon which then returned but as a thousand magical arrows that rained down upon her foes taking out many of them at once.

-The traveler walks alone searching for me-

The scene then showed the three Knights facing down the forces of Solaris and his new Yshrenian Empire as the three took a battle stance. Solaris then put on his Sun Kings mask ark as Kira had her Ark out before putting on the mask and drawing the blade respectively. "Verto." The two villains invoked as they summoned their Knights and in turn the eyes flashed to life while they took a battle stance.

-Never end-

The song began to reach its end as soon the scene showed two new knights one clearly female and the other being the basic male build up as the female one shared a resemblance to Leina's mother Maria. The armor was one that had a mask over the humanoid face as well as a sword and shield in her hands but also had parts of Leina's own armor mixed in as well.

The opposing one was clearly based to be a leader of sorts with Thunder striking around it as it glared at the new Knight. Soon all the Knights were gathered as what was once five Knights had become seven before they soon charged at each other to being a grand battle.

The song came to an end as the airship from the beginning flew off to the distance torts parts unknown. But to this a new Chronicles has begun… a new war a brand new White Knights Chronicles.
