Author: I'm a fan of unusual ships. I like AddxAisha the most and so I've been supporting the ship for a long time. For those asking my real gender, my answers is...I'm a potato.
(03/19/17): Chapter 02 is still in progress, but I'm currently dealing with my life's problems so I won't be able to continue until the week is over.
The pebbles and other small objects above ground had Add's walking more difficult than his search. Dust had already stuck to his sweaty skin and the obstacles just grew to be more persistent as he passes. Other than that, the mist proved to be a pesky nuisance limiting Add's visibility.
"The energy source is faint, but I have to find. I've never seen that type of energy before"
It's his interest and principle as mad scientist that kept him going, adding his arrogant and independent personality. His two magenta colored eyes analyze his surroundings, maybe realizing that the mist is slowly lifting away. Still, the search proved to be difficult when his Dynamo's sensors suddenly malfunctioned.
"What? An interference? Hmm...so something is releasing a form of magnetic wave"
He pondered further into his thoughts of endless possibilities. A shadow figure caught Add near in the scene and with a swift silence, an invisible force mildly tapped Add forward causing him to stumble down a steep slope.
"What the-?!" He furiously raised his head
There, a figure stood there with no reaction, just staring down at him. A glitch, an abstract, an indescribable being looked down at him before it disappeared from his field of vision. Even with the fury building up, Add noticed a lying figure not far from where he had fallen.
"A human?" A clothed being lied on its side
He reached out his hand and used little force to have the body lie on its back to reveal its identity. The sight of the Elemental Master did not faze him as he took little interest on the El search party.
"Tch...you've got yourself some serious injuries..."
A part of his consciousness urged him to searching the figure who he had seen a while ago as it had him...surprisingly...curious. On the other hand, his human conscience is suffocating his chest the moment he thought of leaving the injured and unconscious magician. Even with his selfishness and arrogance, Add could never deny his conscience...which he barely notices he had one.
"Argh...! Fine...I hate this stupid guilt of mine"
Carefully, the irritated Psyker gently lifted the unconscious magician and had to carry her on his back. Despite the lack of "mass in the chest", Add never knew Aisha would be heavier than he expected. Even his Dynamos cannot support the weight of two people so the alternative choice is through the usage of his two feet.
"You've got some deep wounds...honestly"
"..." Still, the mage is unconscious
His face lightly blushed when he carefully removed the coat in order to check upon the wounds. It's not just the partially hostile feeling that stirred his heart, but an odd change of curiosity. Add slowly lifted her feminine hands and wrapped the bandages in an orderly manner.
"Dynamo's scanners are still damaged. I wonder what interfered with the signal" He sighed
Puzzle circled his supposedly organized thoughts and focused mind. The parts scattered around his desk while he is lost in his thoughts. The reason he is currently busy on his Dynamos is to not waste time while waiting for Aisha to wake up.
"Mmmmhh..." The faint movement and sound indicated slow consciousness slowly waking up
"That was fast"
An effortless push and twist, Add stood from his chair and went towards the bed where he had placed the unconscious magician. As if experiencing a nightmare, Aisha clutched the bedsheets and reacted in pain.
"Must be having a drram" A trivial matter to him
"Y...you...stay away..." Words escaped from her lips
"Who you talking to?" A bit of confusion wandered around him
"You're...not me..."
"You're not me?"
The trivial proved to be pointless and those words had little to no meaning as he did not bother to understand. He turned away from the still unconscious Aisha, but when his Dynamos beeped...
"Huh?" Dynamos alarmed him that Aisha is emitting a strange kind of energy
He moved his foot to a direction, but the simple wave energy turned violent when it pierced through the surroundings and the force is enough to knock away Add back to a wall.
"What the hell? Magic?" His Dynamos...could not define it
"Uaah!" Finally, Aisha regained consciousness
The first she had seen is inside a strange room with a rude looking young man with little time to spend on dressing well. Her stare is innocent and clueless while Add bear a completely opposite one.
"Don't do that again, you loudmouthed magician! Honestly you're as annoying as Elsword"
"El...sword? Who's that? Do I know you?" She tilted her head
"W-wha?! Elsword! He's you're friend...sort of"
"Uhm...Who are you anyway? What am I doing here?"
Hands twitched, mind in disbelief, eyes glared are Add's current reaction to Aisha's very unlikely response. The more he stared into her, the more he saw that Aisha truly has no clue to what Add is talking about.
"You don't remember this face?"
"I don't know you"
"It's me. Add. Edward Grenore!"
"I can't remember you. I mean...I can't remember anything at all"
Aisha shook her head, saddened at the fact that she could not remember Add's identity or any part of her. One gloved hand smacked to his face accompanied by a groan of pure annoyance.
"Great. I have to deal with this amnesia"
"..." Aisha blinked
"Honestly...What am I going to do with you?"
It looked like a part of him had left his mortal body while he faced against the wall and thought of what he should do with the magician...with seemingly no memories of most of her past experiences.
Meanwhile...
Elsword quietly sat on a log while the others returned one by one until all of them gathered in one place. Worry scattered around their expressions as something amiss struck through them.
"No good too, huh?" Elsword scratched his head
"Yeah. We couldn't find anything as well" Raven crossed his arms
"I found zero results as well. Aisha is nowhere to be found" Eve tilted her head
"We will find our comrade no matter what
Chung's will is strong so the other El search party members refused to give up as well. They are a group of adventurers with a strong bond and indominatable will after all.
(Aisha, I hope you're safe wherever you are) Elsword tightened the grip on his sword
"We'll find her, Elsword. Promise" Rena lightly tapped his shoulder
"Yeah" Ara joined in as well and reassured Elsword
Elsword looked far towards the the nearby town and contemplated on what to do next as the brightness of hope inside him will not waver. No matter who, a comrade is still a comrade for Elsword.
