So, how many of you were expecting this to happen? Those who've read my profile I...highly doubt that my sister's idea of 'The Arte of the Elderly' will be posted. I don't really see... Well, I just don't think I'll be able to write that. If you think you're up for it, you can.

And because I'm lazy and don't want to waste time, I welcome you to: ASCH'S REVENGE!!!! Yes, as Asch would say: Revenge. Is sweet.... Then again, you can't really taste anything when all you can smell is something that seems to be moldy apples, coming from your own uniform...

I don't own ToA!!!

Read on!!


Instead of continuing his search for the Jewel of Lorelei like he said he would, Asch wondered the streets of Daath, looking for a certain silver haired, slimy man. A slimy man known as: Dist the Reaper. But he wasn't the Reaper, or Rose anymore. Since he was no longer a God-General. But nobody cares so let's move on.

Dist's house was, the was no other word for it, a mess. Papers, book, and an assortment of things that Asch didn't feel like mentioning were covering the floor. The olive green walls were bare, and a stick like man with messy silver hair sat grumbling on the sofa, flipping through a book about fon machine repairs. A small robot moved slowly to and fro across the table, casting sparks lazily from its joints.

Dist glared as Asch entered. "Asch! What are you doing here?!" he jumped up, jabbing a finger in his direction.

"Jeez, it's been months, you still haven't fixed that thing? Never mind, just come on, Jade wants to see you in Grand Chokmah." Asch said.

"Wh-what?" Dist's mood changed completely. "Jade wants to see...me?" he almost fainted with joy.

"Yes, now come on!" Asch dragged the man by the arm back to the port. He disliked even being near this man, but it would all be worth it when all was said and done. Of course, before dragging Dist to the port, he needed to drag some random seventh fonist from the Order, as the arte that he was going to use needed two seventh fonists...


Later that night...

Some how, Asch had gotten a private audience with Peony. Some how. That 'somehow' was the result of hours of work. Hours of....Well Asch didn't really actually do anything, he just asked for a private audience with his Majesty. He was told to visit the bedroom, so that's was Asch did. Still dragging a random seventh fonist and a giddy Dist.

He had chosen the perfect time! Luke and his friends would be staying once again in the second floor guest room. Something about an apology from Peony, or something along those lines... But still, the timing was perfect!

"Oh, hello Asch! I've been wanting to talk to you for some time now. Glad to see you finally decided to show up!" Peony said happily as Asch entered. "...What's Saphir doing here?"

"Er-I can't tell you that right now-" Asch was cut off as Dist jumped ahead. This gave Asch the perfect distraction to use said arte with said random fonist.

"Jade said he wanted to meet me here-and so I came-and he dragged me to the port-I didn't even get to freshen up-" Dist's string of complaints was cut off suddenly as a bright, white light filled the room...


Jade liked to sleep. Especially after flying around the world and back just to retrieve his uniform. He shuddered when he remembered what he was forced to wear on the way there...

Yet it was the middle of the night, everyone else was asleep, except him. He just couldn't help think that there was something amiss... A report from Teodoro said that Yulia's book had been taken-as for some reason, Tear left it in Yulia City... Jade would bet almost anything that Asch was the thief. He said he would get revenge...

But what if this was all some joke? He'd seen it before (used the tactic before), where a man says he will get his revenge, but never does anything. Instead the victim becomes to paranoid to do anything! No, he would not be pulled into to this trap! He was not Dist! He was no fool!

So, after many more tiring minutes, Jade finally fell asleep... Only to be woken again, moments later.

Something small was crawling up his chest, and sticking something small and slimy into his mouth. Jade cracked open an eye, quite annoyed, and prepared to chuck Anise off the bed if necessary. Or Mieu. But it was not Anise sticking something into his mouth. Or Mieu. It was a small, blond, blue eyed child, grinning like a Cheshire cat.

Jade twitched. Oh no. Oh HELL NO. This could not be... He sat up, and the child giggled as he tumbled down to the foot of Jade's bed. Jade also took note that said child was naked. He looked around and twitched again. There was not ONE child, but another, snotty nosed child with silver hair, grinning up at his beside the bed.

No, there were not just TWO children, there were six. Saphir, and Peony, showing no signs of putting on any other face other than the ridiculous grins they wore, and Guy, Natalia, Tear, and Luke, who were all sitting up in their beds, watching him.

He was going to kill Asch. How were they supposed to save the world with six kids with them. Wait... Six... He turned around, and saw that Anise still slept peacefully in her bed, no change what so ever. He sighed. He didn't know anything about this arte, how was he supposed to revert them all?!

He gasped quietly when something jumped onto his back, and grabbed a fist-full of his his hair. He quickly grabbed said something off his back, now holding Luke at arms length. "No. Don't pull my hair." he said firmly. Luke only laughed, a high pitched laugh which made Jade cringe slightly.

He heard a soft ruffling noise from across the room, and looked past said child in his hands, dreading the event which was sure to come...

Anise sat up, rubbing her eyes. "Mm, Colonel, what was that noise?" she looked over, and froze when she saw the naked child in Jade's hands, and twitched. "C-Colonel? Why are you holding a naked kid?!" She looked around, and saw not only Luke, but Peony, Saphir, Guy, Natalia, and Tear. " What just happened?!"

Did Jade mention he was going to kill Asch?
