SoulCalibur D: Afterwar
Two years have passed, since Jay entered the Grandall Academy. One year has passed since Jan took over two kingdoms and it has been half a year that Jan became ruler of Grandall which now became the KIngdom of Arthias. In those years, Jan has endured many trials of action and gained many friends. His mentor, General Girardot died from battle and Emeperor Strife was slayed by Jan and the holy sword, the SoulCalibur. Jan is now there ruler of the kingdom and peace has returned to the lands.
Meiga and Aeneas were guarding the walls of Parousia on the towers surrounding the entrance to the city.
"Man, this boring.." Aeneas complained, "I wish there was a big battle going right now."
"You want something that ridiculous, Aeneas?" asked Meiga.
"I had more fun than just standing here."
"It's better staying here for me."
"So, are you trying to get rid of Elua again?"
"It's been half a year, she still likes me.."
"Consider yourself lucky. At least, you have a girl after you."
"What about Riese?"
"She just kept teasing me just like she did years ago."
Meiga then noticed something near the door.
"What's that?" said Meiga pointing at something.
"Someone in a black cloak is at the doors." said Aeneas.
"An enemy?"
"Not sure.."
"Let's go."
The two stopped at the door and confronted the cloaked figure.
"Who are you?" asked Meiga.
"And what is your business here?" asked Aeneas.
"I wish to see Jan.." the figure said in a female voice.
"You want to see Jan?" said Aeneas.
"Are you someone from another kingdom?" asked Meiga.
"Yes, but I was part of the kingdom that used to be Grandall." said the figure.
"Hmmm...Okay." said Aeneas.
"What!" said Meiga.
"Don't worry, I think she's an okay person."
"If Jan is in danger because of this, you're the one in trouble."
"Don't worry. Follow me."
"Thank you." said the figure.
Meiga and Aeneas walked to the park where Jan was sitting near the fountain with Abelia, Luna, Rudiger, Riese, Ailian, Jinkai, Feofan and Xiaoxin.
"Hey, Jan." said Aeneas.
"Hmm?"
"This woman is here to see you."
"Hello, who are you?" asked Jan, with a smile.
The figure then ran to Jan and hugged him. The surrounding people were shocked and thought Jan was about to be attacked.
"Jan, I finally found you, Jan.." said the figure.
She then took off her hood and revealed her face. Jan became shocked of what he saw.
"V-VIOLA!" he yelled.
Abelia, Riese and Aeneas were shcoked while the others were confused.
"Um, who is this?" asked Luna.
"Oh, that's Viola." said Riese, "She was Jan's first girlfriend."
Luna was even more shocked.
"But what's different between you and Abelia with Viola is that she is a magic user."
"Magic user?" asked Ailian.
"So those were one of the magic students my father was talking about." said Rudiger, "Can't belive we are seeing one in front of us."
"And hugging Jan in the process." said Feofan.
"Viola, why are you here?' asked Jan.
"I wanted to see you again.." Viola said, "it's been how long seen we've left?"
"I...think around two years?"
"Two and a half." said Abelia.
"Thanks, Abelia..."
"But that's not all." said Viola.
"Huh?"
"Remember the land we lived in ever since we left Grandall?"
"Yes."
"It is being terrorized by monsterous king and has declared war, on you."
"Me?"
"Yes, the king is mad that he never had the chance to be in the Mantis War and blamed you for ending it."
"Not a good reason to start a war.."
"But he also wants to conquer your kingdom as well."
"He does...?"
"Yes...He..he..." Viola said as she was starting to stumble and fall down.
"Viola!"
"Its alright." said Jinkai, "She's just tired."
"Well, the land Viola went to is very far from here." said Aeneas.
"We'll care for her and then ask what is going on." said Jan.
"Right."
After a while, Viola woke up in a bedroom in the Arthias castle.
"Where am I?" she asked.
"You're awake."
"Huh? Oh, Jan!"
"So what is going on?" asked Jan, "Why does he want to rule my kingdom?"
"He despises you. Because you ended the war."
"...Just for that reason?"
"Yes."
"I have a moronic enemy.." Jan thought.
"Well, I guess we'll have to head there to make some sort of peace."
"It's too late."
"Huh?"
"The king has already started to move his forces."
"...!"
"That's why I'm here to warn you!"
"Then I guess it can't be helped."
"Jan..."
"I will get myself ready."
"Huh?"
"It looks like we are in a new war."
"It took you long enough." said a voice.
"DWAH! Abelia! Luna!"
"We set out our forces and gained some extra forces from the other kingdoms."
"It looks like we are gonna have another fun time together, aren't we?" said Luna.
"Then let's go."
"You sound eager." said Abelia.
"It's Jan, it should be obvious." said Luna.
"Viola, come on. Let's go."
"...Okay." said Viola.
Jan and his army set outside the walls of Arthias.
"Everyone." Jan said loudly, "This is a new war. It's something we can't avoid even if we tried. So let's move out and hope for this end."
"Yeah!"
The army started to move towards their first stop, the Kingdom of Maletta.
"It's gonna be like old times, huh?" said Aeneas.
"It sure is." said Riese.
"But what's gonna happen now?" asked Eurydice.
"Well, whatever it is.." said Meiga, "You can expect Jan not to give up."
"So we're goong to Maletta first right?" asked Kanon.
"That place still gives some bad memories." said Ailian.
"But remember that's when Jan helped us, right?" said Leraje.
"Yeah.."
Jinkai, Rudiger and Xiaoxin were left in Arthias to protect the kingdom from any enemy attacks.
"Man, I wish I was there." Xiaoxin complained.
"A man your age shouldn't be in condition to be in an all out war." said Rudiger.
"Hey, I may be middle aged but I can still kick a few yards."
"Just be gald you're not in the battle field right now." said Jinkai, "I predict a huge hurricane of events coming to Jan."
"But what seems to get me is that black haired girl." said Rudiger.
"Viola? I don't think we should worry about her." said Xiaoxin, "We know her since the academy years.
"I'm not sure." said Jinkai, "A person can change in a small amount of time and I have a strange feeling on that girl. It may be bad news for Jan."
"Should we tell him?"
"Jan has always been a persistent warrior. Even if it is a girl he knew he wouldn't hold back."
"But I heard she's a magic user."
"Hm, who knows what see can do."
"Still, Jan isn't the kind to give up. He can probably find out on his own."
