Raven x Elsword - Reckless Fist x Lord Knight Yaoi Fanfic.

There's a lot of action in this story, so bare with me, it's gotta be intense.

Also, this is a yaoi, which means boy x boy. So if you don't like it, then don't read. Thanks.

I do not own Elsword, or any of the characters. Elsword rightfully belongs to the gaming company known as KOG.


Chapter 1 - That unforgettable day


2 months ago, After the battle in Altar of Dedication reached its climax.

Elsword's POV - Sword Knight

It was like being hit by one of Aisha's meteor showers.

Just like that, in a blink of an eye.

It happened to him... just like that. As... as if he hasn't been through enough?

Raven...

I-I always hated him... a-and I thought he's always hated me.

But I guess I was just fooling myself on that day.

I knew he was reckless, but not hesitant. So reckless that he would go out of his way just to save one person, not even thinking of the consequences. It's as if his body was under some type of spell.

A spell that was unbreakable.

And... as we left the dungeon. I felt a strong emotional breakdown that I had never experienced. Tears flooded my face for some reason.
Rena, Eve, Ara, and everyone else was shocked at what he did, and what I had did too.

However... that's all in the past now, and I can't reverse back the time of when I could have prevented this fate that struck him.

I also figured out that... I never actually hated him; possibly quite the opposite in fact.

And... I never got to say "Thank-You."


Raven's POV - Over Taker

I... I don't know what had came over me on that day.

The day of when I actually saved someone's life, other than my own.

And to make it better, that someone was a very close companion who I trained intensely to the bone. A red-haired knight who always used to perserver, and persist in situations such as the ones on that day.

He also used to hate me too, and apparently, I felt the same; a mutual standpoint.

But... if I did what I did on that day; with me being the cold-hearted person I am... I guess I never really actually felt that way about him.

It's like... I was being possessed.

My body just moved on its own. I didn't expect it, and neither did the rest of the team. Their perspectives about me have probably changed on that day,
especially Elsword's.

But... it doesn't probably matter anymore. Because they all assume that I'm probably dead...

...
Sigh...

I wonder how they're doing, especially Elsword. I don't know why, but ever since that day happened, my mind just can't help but to remind me how much I missed being with him.

So much, that I constantly wish I could have changed the fate of what happened.

But I can't... and I'm satisfied for now.

But still... I just... I just wish I could see them- no, only Elsword, again.

I don't know why... I just do.


Outskirts of Feita Village, 2:04 pm, Deadman's Graveyard. Time prior to the fight against Berthe.

"Chain Lightning!" The purple-haired 16-year old mage formally known as Aisha, began to combat using her lightning abilities she had developed as an high mage. "Too easy! I'll just dodge this with ease!" Said the Sniping Ranger known as Rena.

Using 3 consective somersalts, The marksman was able to dodge the lighting homing attack, countering it, she proceeded to get behind the mage and released 4 consecutive arrows that shot in a vertical straight line known as Shooting Magnum. With Perception, the mage was able to easily avoid the attack by teleporting above the platform. She began to meditate as the battle fiercly continued.

Meanwhile, 3 other members in the El gang decided to take a breather to look up important data on the demonic demon terror Berthe. Since Eve has a memory bank of all stored informathion within her units, it shouldn't be an issue. However, since she was an Electra, and not an Architecture, processing the data would take longer than usual.

"Have you found the data that is needed Eve?" A young boy known as Chung wondered, with his long lushes hair.

"Acquiring data on the beast known as berthe is taking longer than usual, processing this information is key, so let me focus." She said concentrated.

A young girl with commendable martial art skills walks up to the two with an idea in mind. Ara, known as a little Hsien.

"Hey Chung, let's go see how Elsword and Raven are doing with their training in Altera. I'm curious to see how strong they're becoming." The littlle Hsien suggested.

Aside from everyone else, Raven preferred to train with Elsword alone in a different enviornment and time. It's probably because since Raven is a veteran and swordsman of a highest order he's able to comprehend the strengths and weaknesses of any other swordsman easily. This doesn't mean he thinks Elsword is a amateur at what he does, however.

"Great idea Ara, let's get going then. Hey! Big sisters Aisha and Rena! We'll be back shortly!" With a wave of certainty from the two, Chung proceeded to pull out a warping stone and warped to the region on Pongo's known as Altera, along with Ara.


Altera, Graveyard of Purification, 2:43 pm.

"Hahhhh! Mortal Blow!" A vertical erution of boulders was hurled from under the ground by a red-haired boy known as Elsword.

With an attack that's easy to spot because of it's range, Raven had no trouble dodging it. Shadow stepping past it, he appeared behing Elsword with a wagging finger. "Ah ah. You'll have to do better than that Elboy, you stood about 10 meters away when you launched your attack, might wanna get closer next time, that way you won't rely on it's range."

Elsword knew Raven was right.. If he wanted to further his skills, he needed to strategize. However, his pride as a young swordsman usually got in the way, and he would sometimes just act recklessly without thinking of the consequences.

"Fine Raven! How about this! Hah, Yah, Take this, and that!" Elsword had begun to dish out multiple strikes towards Raven with speed. Raven shook his head out of hopelessness.

"Jeez Elsword, look at what you're doing, and I thought I was the reckless one."

It was obvious Raven was pushing Elsword's buttons to the extreme. The two never really seem to get along much when they're not on missions. Also when they're combating together, their moves are out of sync and the synergy they hold begins to deminish. They're both usually scolded by Aisha or Rena when this occurs. Of course, Elsword being the little kid he is blames it all on Raven. Raven never usually quotes anything back, but rather, he'll occasionally rub his head and say. "I suppose you may be right"

Raven sometimes plays the victim within their arguments. He assumes Elsword flat out hates him, so he just plays along like an older brother arguing with his younger one.

"Hah!... T-take this! Gah..." Elsword kept striking out of breath. "Stop toying with me Raven! Take me seriously for once!"

Raven applied to say not a word as he continued to avoid his attacks. Realising how long they've been training, Raven knew it was time to finish the spar. Using Charged bolt as a defensive mechanism, it stopped Elsword from attacking. Raven then proceeded to launch himself on the air. He then forced his entire body on Elsword, pinning he down on the ground with his arm's secured.

A moment of silence struck the two as they both engaged in heavy eye contact. Apparently Raven noticed a slight blush on Elsword's face.

"Ngh... R-Raven! H-Hey! Let me go man!" The Elboy demanded trying to sqirm out of his grip.

"Why is he blushing?" Raven had thought as he himself also slightly blushed.

Raven then proceeded to get off of the red-haired knight. "Are you hurt?" Raven asked him.

"N-no!" The red-haired boy clarified hiding his arm.

"Yes you are, let me see."

"No, It'll be fine if I just lick it!"

"Quit acting like a child!"

"I am one!"

"you're a teen Elsword.."

"So? Not much of a difference!"

"Sigh." Raven wasn't up for the arguing. Grabbing Elsword by the waist, he took a peak at his arm and saw his wound. He then wrapped it up and release him.

"There, now it won't get infected."

Elsword puffed up his face with folded arms.

A few moments later, Chung and Ara come into the field from the Pongo's hideout area.

"Elsword! Raven! Hey guys!" Chung shouted out to the both of them from afar.

After meeting up with the two swordsman, they both asked how their training went. Of course, Elsword tried to standout by convincing how much better he was getting, however, Raven pointed out all of his flaws and covered the attributes he needs to work on. Ara then decided that they should all head back to Altera to grab a bite to eat.


Altera Village, Food Court, 3:15 pm.

"Ara, you sure the others don't mind we're eating here without them?" Raven asked

"Of course. They had already eaten lunch earlier, they said it's okay." She cleared up enjoying her meal.

Feeling the taste buds of his glorious burger, Chung seemed to notice Elsword's eye contact. It was heavily strained on him. Chung was confused due to the notion of him not remembering what he did wrong. "Ugh... Elsword? Is there something the matter?" He asked. "It's just that, I wanted to sit next to Raven!"

A moment of silence struck the atmosphere.

With food still stuck in his mouth, Raven unexpectingly drops his fork onto the plate with a confused expression. He then begins to choke after hearing what Elsword had just stated. Ara then begins to pat his back hoping to stop the choking. Chung was also slightly confused at his statement too, after all, since when does Elsword like to be near Raven?

"Erm... Elsword are you sure? You and Raven were the first to actual sit down at the table, soo.." Chung stated make a general point.

"True. Actually, since he's choking now, I take it back. THAT'S NASTY RAVEN!" Elsword shouted.

Finished suffering from his food, Raven gave a death stare at Elsword as soon as the words came across his ears. "You little... YOU'RE THE ONE WHO MADE ME CHOKE IN THE FIRST PLACE!"

"Na-uh! It's your fault for being surprised by it!"

"Why wouldn't I? You do hate my guts right?"

"Of course I do! You SCAR FREAK!"

Smiling and scratching their heads, Ara and Chung already knew it was normal to see those two argue. However, the fact Elsword actually said something that had to do with Raven that wasn't insulting, caught them completely off guard.

*Ring, Ring*

The El Celluar PSA was going off. It was a call from the others. Chung proceeded to answer it. A little hologram of Eve is displayed as a holo from the PSA device.

"What's up Eve?" Chung asked

"Oh, good, you guys have Elsword and Raven with you. Quick, hurry back to Feita ASAP. Berthe has awaken in the Altar of Dedication."

"Wh-What?" Ara shockingly asked.

"Ugh... oh no, this isn't good." Raven said out of panicking.

Elsword was at a lost for words. He knew he wasn't ready for this battle. His eyes began to widen immensely with a sick looking expression on his face. Raven obviously knew how he was feeling. Elsword needed more training if he was gonna be able to do well in this battle, heck, they all did.

"H-how? I-I thought Berthe wasn't suppose to awaken for at least a week. None of us are ready for this." Chung said with a worried look.

"You're right, however, Eve believes we'll just have to do our best. Quickly, there's no time to lose, hasten your arrival, let's all meet at the entrance to Altar of Dedication. Eve - Code Electra signing out."

*Boop, boop*

"We should go now guys, we can't let that demonic creature reach Feita, or anywhere else." Ara noted.

"She's right, she's the only person out of all of us to see what it's like when a demon obliterates everything. Let's step inside of the portal guys."

As everyone were preparred to fight an inevitable battle, Raven noticed Elsword shaking inside of the portal, with a melancholy look of phobia. Raven may be cold-hearted, but he was actually worried about him, despite thinking he probably "despises" him. He knew he needed to do something about this catastrophe.


Altar of Dedication(Front dungeon portal Entrance), 3:51 pm.

The entire El gang is seen, all prepared to fight the legendary beast known as Berthe. Aisha, Rena, and Eve are all going over the battle plans, making sure everyone comes out unscaved.

"Alright guys, we can do this! We may be young, but we're team Elrios! It's our job to restore the El to it's natural state!" Rena stated hoping to give everyone a sense of courage.

With a roaring pump of excitement, and confidence, the entire team rose their fists' above the air. They all proceeded to jump inside of the portal to the dungeon. However, Aisha stayed behind and noticed how akward Raven and Elsword were being, mainly Elsword.

"Guys, c'mon, we've gotta do this now!" Aisha insisted.

"Aisha, go on ahead. I have to speak with Elsword privately for a minute, we'll catch up." Raven explained.

"Alrighty, but don't keep us waiting long, or else you'll see daybreak fire when you wake up in the morning." She stated leaping into the portal.

Glancing at Raven, Elsword had tensed up. He knew Raven would eventually figure out how terrified he was of this mission. Elsword tries to deny the fact that he won't remain calm throughout the whole dungeon.

"Elsword. Look, I know how terrified you are, so I want you to stay behi-"

"No! Don't say it. I'm not leaving you guys to go and fight alone without me. I've trained too hard for this. J-just let me prove myself Raven!"

"Ugh... stop being such a kid! It's obvious you're in no condition to fight."

"So? What if I am, what if I'm not! Since when do you even care about anything that happens to me?"

"Agh... Elsword, this isn't just an ordinary quest. It's very dangerous, an-"

"I don't care! Why can't you just believe in me for once... this is why I don't like you, in fact... I can't stand you being my mentor."

Right then and there, Elsword proceeds to walk right pass Raven, with an all knew demenor. It's as if his phobia had instantly vanished. He does need to prove himself in order for him to advance in his quest to become a Lord Knight. Raven, however, was not thrilled one bit. He easily let out a sigh.

"Sigh... there he goes again being complacent. Such a pain. Though, he's right... why do I care? Why should I care about anything that falls upon that brat?"

Flashbacks of all the times he's spent with Elsword begin to reminisce. Raven decided to sort it all out with Elsword later. He knew more important matters were to be focused on. He then dives into the portal to join up with the others.

Inside of the dungeon, team Elrios begans to plow through each and every glitter monster or golem that resides in there way. They knew if they wanted to reach Berthe in time, they couldn't hold back against nothing.

At last, the gang finally reaches the top of Altar of Dedication. The stone plateaus, the rocky platforms. This type of setting was already starting to get the final boss fight intensed up. The spiral portal of darkness seemed to be the root of where all the demons were coming from.

"Guys, do you see that? It looks like we'll also need to destroy that dark portal of El, it's where the demons are coming from." Chung stated.

"Precise, Eve is certain that with a couple of Magical based attacks, the portal is certainly able to collapse."

"Aisha-Chan, you'd better start meditating, we're gonna need you for this the most!"

"Already on it Ara!"

"Gwwwwwwrroooo" Let out a large demonic creature coming from inside of the dark portal. It's large claws and teeth were perfectly in place to rip it's foes to shreds, it's humongous size, colored all Navy blue, and white, gave it an advantage to smash material and the landmass with ease. Berthe had awoken, to wreck havoc on the Elrios world.

"C'mon guys let do this!" Raven shouted.

"LET'S GO!"

Charging at full speed, the el gang unleashed a barrage of attacks against berthe that seem to do little to nothing damage. Aisha, Rena, and Eve tried dishing out certain amounts of magic projectiles, while the rest distracted it from their physical attacks. The team also gave Aisha some coverage on destroying the portal with multiple Chain Lightning's, which succeded into working. However, their stamina was running low, and started to grow exhausted. A lot of damage has been dealt to them, they're sure to not last much longer.

"Huff... Huff, we... may have to retreat guys." Chung said out of breathe.

"Eve... agrees... we need to get out of here."

"We can't guys, we don't have anymore teleporting stones." Rena explained.

"So, it's do or die?" Ara thought aloud.

"Hmm... no, we can all probably escape if we hang on to Aisha's wand and teleport out of here. Berthe has been weakened and the portal has been destroyed." Chung devised.

"Alright, I'll start my meditation." Aisha said.

"No! I'm tired of giving up! This demon may come and destroy everything once it gets its strength!"

Hearing such utter nonsense, Raven proceeds to smack Elsword on the face. He then rest his two hands on his shoulder, hoping to convince him how foolish he just sounded.

"Have you finally lost it? Are you trying to get us killed?" Raven asked.

"No, the opposite Raven! Since when were we all deemed as quitters?!" Elsword said.

"Elsword please.."

"You can barely stand you idiot, listen to Raven."

"You can't do this Elsword! Listen to big sisters Aisha and Rena!"

"You guys go on ahead... I'll see if I can distract him. Aisha... make sure you get everyone out of her safely.." The red-haired knight stated picking up his sword once fourth to use his last bit of Mana and energy.

"Elswordddd! Don'ttttt!" They all shouted.

Elsword rushed to try and by the team as much time as possible. "Spiral Blast!" Sadly, his attacks weren't dealing as much damage output as before. It only seem to enrage berthe.
Exhausting from using the last bit of his energy, the red-haired knight fell onto the floor on his knees. It was precisely at that intense moment Berthe launched a devasting large boulder at him flying at mock speed.

"Elsword no!"

"Dodge it!"

"He can't! He's exhausted!"

"This isn't good! Elsword you have to move!"

"Seven's Burst! Hahhhhhhhh!" The impact of Raven's attack pierced right through the rocks, shattering them into tiny particles. Still exhausted Elsword looked at Raven and noticed how exhausted he was. Using that much Mana within your body can take a heavy toll on your performance. But... it still wasn't enough. Berthe had been weekend further, but he still held some strength left for a devastating attack.

"O-oh no." Chung panicked as he realized what the demon monster was about to commit.

"No, it's Berthe's Ice Laser Beam, he's about to fire it!" Eve explained with a nervous look.

"ELSWORD! RAVEN! GET OUT OF THE WAY! IT'S HIS SPECIAL MOVE!" Rena warned from afar.

Raven knew exactly what his teammates were trying to warn, but Elsword was still confused since he was so exhausted. As Berthe's trajectory shifted, it was obvious who the demon was aiming for.

"Ugh... h-he's aiming for Elsword. I... I gotta do something. What to do... WHAT TO DO."

"Rawrrrrr!" *Boom* The Ice Laser Beam was fired directly in front of Elsword, just as Raven suspected. Elsword was no doubt petrified, his entire body glanced up and he was unable to avoid his attack.

"O-oh no. W... what have I done? It's over..." The red-haired knight thought as he closed his eyes, expecting to meet his demise.

"Elsword! No! Ugh... Charged Bolt!"

Raven had rushed in to protect Elsword from the blast. Getting in front of him, he was able to weaken the attack with his own, while getting injured in the process. With Widened eyes, the red-haired knight was speechless at the aftermath. He couldn't believe what just happened the past minute. Raven, the guy who supposedly hates him, actually saved his life.

"R-Raven. B... but why? I... I don't understand."

"Gah... hah. Ya know Elsword, I never liked you one bit... your annoyance is what compelled me to become as bitter to you as possible. You're reckless, straight forward, and you never seem to think of the consequences at hand. However... your bravery and courage is what makes you an admirable knight." Raven said with leisure as his whole body had blood dripping down.

"R-Raven... your body... is in pain. I... I have t-"

With shocking facial expressions, the entire gang could not believe Raven still did what he did. The impact of the blast was so powerful that it started to make the entire Altar of Dedication collapse. Boulders and platforms began to crumble as for the rest of the dungeon.

"Aisha! Ngh... Grab Elsword and get out of here! I'll hold off Berthe!"

Aisha then teleports to the two and grabs Elsword.

"No! Aisha! Raven's hurt, he needs help! Please..." Elsword begged. "No... it's alright Elsword, I'll be fine."

"Elsword, sniff. I'm sorry... but I don't have enough Mana to cast a healing spell on him. W-We'll just have to follow his word." Aisha teared up as she knew Raven couldn't last much longer.

"No! This isn't right! We can't just leave Raven behind! No!" Elsword shouted as he started to cry.

"Good-bye everyone, have a great life. At least I'll get to do something good for once. And... goodbye to you. Elsword." Raven thought to himself which would may have been his final thoughts as he charged forward to try and finish off Berthe.

After the entire dungeon had collapsed, the cave entrance to the dungeon was now blocked by boulders. Aisha was successfully able to use teleport to carry everyone on the team to the portal of when they arrived at the beginning of the dungeon. Exhausted, the team was too speechless to lay on the ground, as they are certain if the Over Taker even made it out unscaved.

"W-will Raven-Kun be alright?" Ara asked with a tear shead.

"I-I'm not so sure. But.. we have to believe in him guys. Believe that he made it out ok." Rena said as she began to tear up.

The whole El gang was in deep sorrow, even Eve who normally doesn't show emotion, was upset at the situation. Elsword, however wasn't taking it too well. With his Sword, he carelessly began to try and smash the boulders that blocked the way back into the dungeon.

"Gah... Hah... Raven. I'm coming back for you... sniff." The Elboy said with a face flooded with tears.

"Elsword stop!" Said Eve.

"Elsword please don't! You're in no condition to be doing that!" Aisha said as she ran up to him and tried to calm him.

"Listen to big sister Aisha Elsword. You have to control yourself!" Chung said as he helped.

"I contacted the Feita Chief, and he said the knights are on there way here. So we'll have to leave it to the knights you guys." Rena said as her and the rest of the team went inside the portal.

"Elsword, please. I'm certain Raven will be okay. Don't lose faith in him, remember, he was in a much worse situation a long time ago. He's much stronger than ever before." Aisha said as she held out her hand.

"Ok..ok." Elsword agreed as her went into the portal back to Altera. "Raven, please. Be okay. I'll come back for you someday."

The next day, Feita Knight officials cleared the path to Altar of Dedication and proceeded to do a search and rescue, and to also investigate. The officals later reported back to El gang with good and bad news. The good news were that the dark portal that lead the demon army was not resurrected, and that Berthe's traces had completely vanish. The bad news was that Raven was nowhere to be found either. By this vague information, they can only assume that Raven defeated Berthe and escaped the dungeon with ease, or that another occurance had come into the problem. The Feita Knights resumed their search.

2 years had passed ever since that day. Raven was never seen, nor heard from again. Raven's el energy shard was still with the gang. It hasn't cracked or shattered into pieces, and it will only do that if Raven was ever on the verge of death. But, the team also remembers it's the land of Elrios, anything fishy could've happened these past years. The fact if Raven was even dead or alive was still unkwown, to this date.

To be continued...

A/N: Ah. I'm so excited to be doing this couple~ It's been awhile since I've done a new yaoi story.
