-Call to Arms-
Blaze's POV:
It's been over 8 months since the Elgang was disbanded and we all went our separate ways. We've all stayed in contact with like a letter once in a while but it isn't the same. Elsword does come here sometimes to see Eve but he stays mostly in Ruben. Chung is living with Chi somewhere in the Bethma Mountains and Raven and Rena has sort of disappeared off the grid. None of us has heard from them for a long time and I hope for the best for the two of them. My sister, Ember, Proto, and I have settled down in the Nasod Kingdom which has been under constant construction since the very first Eve got back into power and it's come a long way. Nasod citizens line the streets of the great Nasod kingdom and it's really come a long way. Ember, Proto, and I have been tasked with both keeping this place safe along with protecting our Queen, Eve, but that responsibly relies on Oberon and her new assistant, Ophelia. We've all gone through changes with some more uneventful than others. I didn't really have an eventful time about 3 months ago thought...
-Flash back 3 months ago-
I stood in the test chamber with my sister on the other side of the safety glass and I stood ready.
"You sure you want to do this?" She asked through the speaker.
"Please, I'll be fine, I promise. The upgrades I've added to the El energy shield will make it much more stronger and wider so lets get on with the test."
"All right if you insist. Charging laser up to 50 percent charge." I activated my shield and stood in a way to take on the force of the laser. "Firing laser." The laser beam shot out of a compartment and I used my shield to block it.
"Every things going on fine increase power."
"All right. Increasing power by 25 percent." The laser got much more stronger and it started to push me back wards slightly but the shied still held together.
"It's working great! Push it up to the max!"
"All right. Laser at 100 percent power." I dug my heals into the ground as the force of the laser increased even more and the shield still held and it didn't look like it was going to fail.
"This is incredible! It's holding!" I looked in amazement as the laser continued to fire and not a single crack was found in the shield.
"Wait, there's something wrong Blaze."
"There isn't anything showing up wrong here on my end Ember."
"No, there's something very wrong indeed cutting the test no-" She was cut off as a bright light start to emanate from the shield and I too was blinded by it.
"Blaze!" I couldn't see a thing and the shield felt unstable on my hand before disaster struck. The shield exploded violently destroying the test laser cracking the safe rooms windows slightly and I lay on my back looking up into my visor to see that the glass was cracked and the HUD was broken with it flashing on and off the screen with all the components fuzzy and distorted. I could barley make out that my system was trying to tell me that the glove failed catastrophically failed and I could tell that it did since I couldn't feel my left arm. I could barley see through my blurry vision, but I could make out blood splattered on some of the wall around me. I cough up some blood and my ears were still ringing when I heard a muffled sound of the test door opening and the soft thumps of my sisters feet on the ground.
"Come on Blaze, stay with me! Where's that medical crew!?" Her muffled voice cried. I tried to talk to her but before I could, I passed out.
Proto's POV:
-A few minutes before the explosion-
"So, how's everything coming along?" I was walking with Eve through the castle which its construction was completed yesterday.
"Everything's going well. All the citizens are happy and my kingdom is slowly growing back up again."
"And the military units?"
"They're mostly offline but a good number of them are still up and running to make sure that they all are ready for combat at any time." She took a second to think before going on.
"So, how is it going on with Blaze?"
"I think it's going finely. I've gotten along with his sister quite nicely and I'm happy to see him happy like that. By the way, how are the others?"
"Oh them? Well Chi and Chung have settled down in Bethma Mountains for now, Elsword and Aisha are both in Ruben but I have idea where Rena and Raven have gone off to. None of the others knows where they're either."
"That reminds me, how is it going on with Els and yo- AAAHHH!" I fall to my knees clutching my head in pain.
"Proto, what is it?"
"I-I don't kn- AGH!"
Eve's POV:
Proto had disappeared and I was concerned to what had happened to her. I started to half walk, half run trying to figure out what was going on when Ophelia passed me in a hurry.
"Ophelia what's going on?"
"Not right now my Queen, I'm sorry." She turned around for a split second while running to tell me that and I decided to follow her. Time that I was following her was short as she was standing in front of the elevator waiting for it to arrive.
"Ophelia, please tell me what's happening?"
"Well, it's-" She was cut off as the ding of the elevator came and her full attention went from me to what ever was going to come out. As the door opened up, my breath was taken away from what I saw on the inside. It was Blaze on a stretcher with an oxygen mask over his mouth. I stepped back to give them more room and I saw the full extent of the damage with his left arm almost completely stripped of all of its skin. His jacket on his left arm was practically gone and his muscles were showing in a bloody mess with most of it ripped away exposing some bone. I put my hand over my mouth trying to keep what's in my stomach down when I saw Ember step out of the elevator as well.
"Ember, please tell me, what happened?"
"Blaze was testing out some added functions to his El energy shield and it was going great until it somehow had an energy overload causing it to have a violent explosion. I bet from what you saw, the explosion destroyed his whole arm." I was looking down and away as she told me the grim news and looked back up as I saw a few drops of water hit the ground. When I looked back up, she was crying with tears streaming down her eyes onto the ground.
"I knew I should have stopped the test sooner. Now he has lost his left arm and there's a chance that I might lose my... my-" She fell down to her knees and started crying and I knelt down to comfort her.
-End of Flashback-
Blaze's POV:
I look down at my new left arm and sort of regret doing that experiment but it does have it's loses, but I think I gained more than lost. Eve got me a new set of armor that instead of going half way up with my armored pants, but now go all the way up except for my arms. My hair now is more spiked with it parting off to the right along with this long ponytail in the back. I no longer had my long rifle in favor of some duel pistols and I've also gained a new weapon from that day. After I woke up from the operation, I started to thinking of ways to recreate that explosion on a much lower scale and I've developed these disk grenades. I've also got even higher power output with my shields, after testing them on a dummy arm, by increasing the El shards size along with some other modifications to the system and energy out putter. My sister has also changed a bit too.
She had both of her swords removed form her arm and had in placed some more strength and stability enhancements to tame the recoil of her rifle even more. She now wears a white jacket which collar is high enough to cover her mouth and the lower half of her face. She doesn't have hare hair up in a brad anymore and lets it fall freely down to her waist. She also asked if I could develop her some grenades as well, just not as powerful and smaller and she has some dispensers for them on both sides of her pants. She also has some white armored boots that she wares along with a headset and a black visor similar to the one I originally wore minus the face mask. Also, along with having some more strength and stability enhancements in placed in her arms, she also has a miniature teleportation device to summon up some Nasod weaponry at her will before teleporting them back.
We both were chatting with each other on the balcony of our home when Eve stepped through the door.
"What is it Eve?" She didn't really say anything but held up a holograph projection of a letter before sending us one and it had a name on it. "Rena..." I instantly opened and read the whole thing and I couldn't help but smile.
"So that's where those two went to."
"And we're going there as well. Pack your things for we are heading off to Feita." Ember under stood and stood up placing her hand against her ear piece and started talking.
"Load up my 30mil and lots of ammunition into the NKAF Barracuda and prep it for launch. I want the machine gun loaded and with plenty of ammo and-" She walked out of the balcony into the room and her voice faded from us. I just smiled and looked at Eve.
"So, looks like the El gang is coming back together on another quest. You think the others are on their way?"
"If we got this message then so did the others. Come on, I've all ready had Ophelia and Oberon pack up some of your clothes and loaded it into the gun ship."
"But why a gun ship?"
"A cruiser would take to long and we don't have much time. Plus the kingdom would be in jeopardy if we take that cruiser to Feita since we'll be taking to much of it's military force. Besides, it will only be the five of us flying and it still packs quite a punch." She left and I couldn't really argue with her. I followed her out and we met Ember, Oberon, and Ophelia down in the hanger bay and they were loading up the ammunition away into the storage places before locking them down. Ember carried her rifle into the ship and locked it against the wall for travel and I stepped in to test the gunner seat. I stood in the door and took the machine gun from the wall support and went through some motions of movement before releasing it and having it retract back to the wall.
"All right we're ready. Lets board up and take flight." I sat in the seat next to the gun and Ember sat next to me with Oberon, Ophelia, and Eve on the opposite side of us. The blast door closed and the pilot started to take off before we were off towards Feita.
'Just hang in there guys, we're on our way.'
Chung's POV:
-A few days before Blaze and Eve received the message-
I walk back from the Bethma village with some supplies along with some mail we got. I walked for some time down into the Bethma Mountains with my armor clacking with every step I took. I look around warily and just because the Lizardman are at peace with the village doesn't mean that there's some creatures that will attack and my hand wandered down to my pistols holster. I check behind me before taking a detour off the main road onto a hidden path and between some high mounds of rocks before I came up on our little home. Walking through the front door, I saw Chi waiting for me and I smiled at her as she walked up to me.
"Welcome back." I leaned down and gave a kiss before setting the supplies on the table to sort through. "So, what did you get this time?"
"Enough meat to last a while, some flower, eggs, and other ingredients. We've also got some mail."
"Mail? We rarely get any mail."
"Well, here's the letter." I tossed her the envelope over to her before turning around to put away some of the meat and other supplies into the cuber when I heard her gasp.
"What is it Chichi?" I walk over to her and she gave me the letter and looked on the front of it.
"Rena..." I quickly read through the letter and placed it down and looked at Chi who had a wide grin on her face.
"Looks like that gang is getting back together."
"Yes we are." I rolled my shoulders thinking of what kind of enemies we will be fighting and how the others have changed in the past eight months. "God, it's been too long since I've had a good fight."
"You and me both." Chi gut up from her seat and started to walk to her room. "Lets get packed up and head out as soon as possible. Feita is a long distance from here, I just hope we'll make it in time." I placed my hand on her shoulder and she looked back.
"Knowing the others, I think they can hold out until we arrive."
"I just hope you're right."
Elsword's POV:
-A few days after Chung and Chi received the letter-
"Hey, that's the last fried beef stick!" Aisha and I were leaving one of the food stands that was set up in our larger sized village, Ruben, and she chowed down on it delightedly.
"Well, you got the last slice of my favorite pie in the last stand. So now we're even." I walked behind her with my hands behind my head and only looked at her with some anger before calling after her.
"Jeez, everyone here has gotten used to your new outfit, but I still haven't. I mean, do you really have to fight in such revealing clothes?"
"You're the one to talk." I look down at my owen clothes then back up at her.
"Hey, at least my own aren't as revealing as yours!"
"Pfft, what ever." She waved her hand at me and continued on when a messenger came up to me.
"Are you Elsword?"
"Why yes, yes I am."
"I've got a message for you." He ruffled around in his pouch before bringing out a small envelope and left.
"What's that?"
"A letter."
"Well I know that you idiot, I mean what's inside?" I flipped it over and ripped it open to pull a letter out half way to see the name, "Rena," on the front of it and I pulled it our completely and we both read what it said. I finished reading it and tucked the letter away into one of my pockets and turned to Aisha.
"You think you can teleport us to Feita?" She snapped her fingers and a bag contained my own clothes appeared at my feet along with another one at hers before summoning up her staff and began the to teleport us.
"You think that the others are going to wonder where we are going?"
"I don't think that they'll mind that we're gone." She finished teleporting us and a flash of light blinded me until we landed in Feita to an unpleasant surprise. My vision cleared and my eyes widened to were we are and to a sword that was swinging down at my. I pull out my own sword parrying the blow before striking down the target in front of me and I was back to back with Aisha surrounded by these creatures.
"Why don't I make some room, Storm Blade!" We both knelt down as the blade erupted up and out before spinning killing any of the creatures with in the spinning spiral of swords and pushing them back. "What the hell are these things anyway.
"I've only head of them through books, but I think these things are Glitters."
"Glitters?"
"They're practically demon soldiers."
"Well this is only getting even more interesting. What did Rena get herself into?" The sword blades started to slow down before disappearing completely to have multiple glitters surround us. Even though none of the glitters were moving on towards us, I could hear fighting in the distance of metal clashing on metal and the pained screams of people either dying or severely wounded.
'The hell is going on around here?'
"Well I honestly don't see any other way to get out of here except for fighting our way out! Plasma Cutter!" She leapt up into the air sending out the hot plasma beam into a group of enemies while I charge into the line sending out multiple runes into them and cutting them down with ease. We both kept on fighting but it almost seemed like the last one I cut down was replaced with 3 others. I've been cut by a few lucky hits and are being pushed back when I found myself back to back with Aisha who was panting from her exertion.
"There's too many of them!"
"I know but we have to keep on fighting!" I cut down two more of these demons when another one blocked my sword and was about to strike me when an ear piercing screech sounded causing all the demons to stop on their tracks almost paralyzed.
"What the?" I look around me as the demons clutched their ears in pain before multiple blue missiles flew over us striking around us killing off the surrounding demons.
"Wait is that-" Aisha turned towards me and I smiled knowing who had come.
"Looks like the others have joined the fight." I pulled up my arm as another explosion happened close to us and I looked back up to see Raven and Raven cut through the demons in our rear to have Chi and Chung follow close behind. Rena stopped to chat with us while Chung Chi, and Raven went on ahead to finish off the others.
"I'm glad you could make it."
"Now what have the two of you gotten yourself into?"
"Oh this? I'm just lending a helping hand for these people."
"But what exactly is going on?"
"No time to explain. I'll explain once we repel this attack come on!" She waved her hand to follow her as she charged into the fray with her sword swinging. I smiled as I hefted my sword onto my shoulder as I followed her and I could see Aisha bringing the axe side of her wand down onto an enemies head splitting it open before throwing dark magic balls into a group of enemies. I found myself back to back with Chung and he was letting lose on the enemies with his duel pistols and something seemed a bit different how he is fighting. He's fighting a bit more ferocious than he did before and the paw prints in his eyes almost look more like a line like a cats and he's merciless as he pounded each enemy with a barrage of bullets. We kept on fighting as a group spreading out to cover more ground and with each kill I grinned even more.
'Just like old times huh?' I sent out a rune at another gorup of targets when some other soldiers ran past me to engage the enemy when I notice practically another army at our backs fighting off the demons and before long, the demons started to retreat into this spire looking temple closing the entrance behind them. The other soldieries started to cheer and I let out a sigh of relief as I placed my sword back into its hilt before walking over to Rena with Aisha.
"You've got some explaining to do Rena." She chuckled before turning around to head back to their camp.
"I sure do. Come on, the captain wants to meet the two of you." We followed her to a camp area full of tents and other people that were bustling around when she led us to a large central tent in the camp. Raven and herself stepped into the tent while Chi and Chung went another way back to their own tents. I looked at Aisha and she only shrugged before I pushed away the tent flap and entered myself. As I entered, I could see Rena and a black haired man who looks like he's a war veteran standing over a map of Feita before he looked up and took notice of Aisha and my own presence.
"So, these are some of your friends you were talking about Rena?"
"Yes they are."
"All right then. Let me introduce myself, I'm Lento, Royal guard of Feita."
"Aisha, dark magic user known as a Void Princes."
"Elsword, Rune Slayer of the Red Knights."
"And from what I saw in combat, you two can fight. Was it your idea to teleport right in the middle of that demon army?" Aisha blushed a bit as he mentioned that bit and rubbed the back of her head a bit embarrassed.
"Aah yeah, not part of the plan. I just needed to teleport us to Feita and that's it. How should I expect there to be a large demon army right were I was teleporting?" Raven, who was standing in the corner of the tent with his arms crossed, laughed a bit and I only rolled my eyes when I notice something missing.
"Hey, were's Blaze, Ember, Evey, and the others?"
"I sent them the help message about a day ago and they still haven't arrived but they should arrive any day now." I nodded and crossed my arms before looking over at Lento.
"So, what's the situation exactly?"
"Demons have invaded through a portal and have taken over the Feita shrine completely. We're fighting to reclaim the lost shrine but progress has been slow and we're only inching our way through the entrance but with your help and the others, I think we might break this stalemate and start pushing our advance." Rena explained. I nodded my head as I placed one of my hands under my chin and shifted my weight onto another leg.
"So that explains why Chung is acting differently."
"We'll be making a push to reclaim the shrines entrance tomorrow. Rena, do you think you can show those two to their quarters?" She nodded and left the tent and we followed close behind.
We walked through the maze of tents before we came to multiple ones that were pitched in a way that sort of secluded them from the others and there I could see Chung tinkering with his cannon and armor with Chi close by before Rena showed me to an empty tent.
"This will be where you'll be staying for now. Rest up for tomorrow is a big day like he said." She left and let the tent flap go down as I pulled my pack off containing my clothes and set them under my cot and plopped down onto my cot and closed my eyes.
'Tomorrow is a big day like she said and I need this rest for sure.' I dozed off quickly with question abuzz in my head and they soon dissipated with a dream of my sister, how she would look at me now.
Anon: And done... I can't wait till the next chapter DX I've been having this one scene play out in my mind and I've practically got the whole thing worked out in my head on how it's going with actions and interactions of some sorts XD But I think it's epic in general lol.
