An Elsword Fanfic - Chapter 2: "The Red Flame."
A/N: HEYYYYYYYYYYYYY, SO LIKE. I finally finished writing this. I've had writers block for every single story I've attempted to write since, well like, my last fanfic LOL. First off, quick recap then the stories continue...
When I was editing this on this site, I couldnt find the line that helped separate what I needed to be separated, so i used : (*****) . I still play Elsword, and I've switched my Eve back to CBS. I liked CEm but she was really mana needy, and I didn't know how to play her correctly.
Looks like I'll be continuing this fanfic... probably. My friend said I couldn't do it, but here. SO HAH. I have other stories in mind, but that's for another day. If you can track/hunt me down on Elsword, I'll write a story just for you... maybe.
You can usually find these:
Eiienno
LeVictoryy
YoseiSama
MajesticPie
the other chars... I'm keep a secret. (;
Well have fun reading! Remember to read the end note.

Previously…
"Long long ago, there was a continent of only void and darkness.
…
"Eee-eevee!" A feminine voice called. The voice shook her from her dream.
"G' Morning Eve!" The green haired elf exclaimed. Eve turned her head a bit looking out the window to see that the sun was just rising. Mother of Nasods, she wakes up early…
…
"Eve!" A voice called. Her eyes snapped open once again. She hadn't realized that she dozed off again. She looked up to see a red haired boy smiling down at her. "You coming to eat breakfast?"
…
"Flame brain!" Aisha shot back.
"Shortie!" Elsword laughed.
"Grr, I may be short but I'm older than you, weakling!" Aisha laughed louder.
…
A figure stroked my hair. I couldn't see who. I looked up, but I couldn't see the person's face. Who was this? The way the person stroked my hair was so nostalgic.
…
"I shall take your emotions and store them somewhere safe. When the time comes, they will be released."
…
Why? Why did this happen? Why can I not remember?
…
"Here let me help." Raven said. He took out his hand and wiped away the tears with his hand. "Water isn't good for Nasods isn't it? You should stop crying about whatever you're crying about."
Eve felt a rush of heat in her face. Another malfunction?
…
"King Nasod's making his move." Elsword replies.
(*****)
Long flaming red hair. Red piercing eyes that seemed as if she knew you were lying. Quick as a leopard. Stronger than an army of Phorus or even Trocks. My sister. My majestic, strong sister. Elesis.
(*****)
"Siii-iiisteer!" Young Elsword called out. He was running towards his older sister. Panting heavily, with a huuge grin on his face. Today was the day that his Powerful older sister, Elesis, was going to begin training him. "Sister!"
"What's up Elsword?" Elesis laughed, ruffling his hair.
"Are we gonna start training today?!" Elsword asked for the thousandth time.
"Yeah, yeah. Let's go you little brat!" She replied playfully.
They walked towards Lake Noah and found some stray Phoru's and Boars to train with.
"Ok, watch me Elsword!" Elesis swung her arm and her long red slender sword, appeared. She took a fighting stance behind the Phoru.
"Gale." Elesis muttered, she charged forward with lightning speed bumping into the phoru.
"Power Burster!" Elesis said louder. In one move she had eliminated her opponent.
"Amazing." Elsword whispered, staring at her sister admiring her. Elesis stood up straight, inhaled and exhaled. She turned around and smiled. "Your turn, kiddo."
Elsword grinned an excited grinned and tried to imitate his sister. He swung his arm, once twice, three times, before his sword appeared. It wasn't as slender or fancy looking as Elesis' sword but, he summoned his weapon! He charged forward confronting the next phoru but he was knocked down in an instant.
"Gah." Elsword groaned, rubbing his head. The Phoru raised its claw to make its final move. Elsword brought both his arms up to protect his face.
"Sonic Assault, Stab!" Elesis charged forward and again, finished the Phoru off in one move.
She turned around to face him. There was a frown on her face.
"You're not ready yet." Elesis said. "Maybe next time."
"But I'm ready Elesis, please!" Elsword pleaded.
"No. If something were to happen to you, I would never be able to forgive myself." Elesis said. Her tone told him that her decision was final, and nothing would be able to sway her.
She swung her arm again, and her sword disappeared. "Let's go home."
Those four words stung. The frown on her face made me feel worthless. Why am I not as strong as sister? When will be next time? Elsword reluctantly stood up and slowly followed his sister. I will get stronger, one way or another.
(*****)
I snuck out the door towards Lake Noah. It was night. Everyone in the house was asleep. I wanted to train. I needed to impress my older sister. I approached a boar. It was twice the size of me but I didn't care. I swung my arm three times again, and my sword appeared. I charged forward, struck once. It barely did any damage.
"Sword Wave!" Elsword struck again. He drained half of the boar's health, but his mana was low. The boar took the chance and charged with his wooden club. Elsword jumped back up on his feet, but he was a minute too late. The boar struck once. Pain. The boar raises his club again to strike a second time,
"Unlimited Blade!"
It was like a red flame came and passed through. It happened in a flash, the flame had finished off the boar in an instant. Some other boars had noticed the commotion. They all charged at her. How many were there? Six? Seven? Ten? The flame quickly turned around to confront the charging boars.
"Gale," It quickly dashes forward and strikes dodging strikes from the boars attacks. "Power Burster!" Three boars fell.
"Sonic assault, Stab!" Another three boars had fell.
"Mega," The flame had began to say. "Slash!"
The remaining creatures had fell, eliminated. I, again stared up at my sister with admiration.
"Elesis-" I started to say.
"Why?" Elesis asked. "Why did you sneak out?"
"I-" Elsword began to say. "I wanted to impress you."
She spat on the ground.
"I told you, you weren't ready. If I hadn't come, you would've been killed!"
"I know, I'm sorry." Elsword lowered his head.
"Stand up." Elesis commanded. When Elsword didn't, she said it a little louder. "Stand UP!"
He listened. He stood.
"Don't ever sneak out on your own again, understand?!" She said fiercely.
"Yes.." Elsword whispered. "I understand."
(*****)
"What do you mean Elesis left?!" Elsword exclaimed.
"She went to train. To get stronger." Elsword's father replied.
"What?! Isn't she already strong enough?" Elsword inquires further.
"Elsword," His father's voice boomed with authority. "you are the reason why Elesis had gone on this 'Quest' to become stronger. Your foolishness would have killed you. Do you not know that your sister would do anything for you?! Instead of wasting your time, train Elsword, train!"
Elsword sat there in shock. I was the reason why she left?
(*****)
Elsword awoke in a cold sweat. He sat up straight, he wiped the sweat off his forehead. He sat for a moment, thinking back to his dream. The he stood up and walked a while towards the lake. He swung his arm once and his blade appeared. He was now able to summon his weapon quickly, sometimes he even does it when he's asleep. Of course, he doesn't do it on purpose. He had finished his quest for his job advancement. He was now a "Sword Knight."
Even with his job advancement, he didn't feel strong enough. He was not yet at his sister's level. She was gone for so long, who knows how strong she would have gotten.
"Double Slash!" Elsword shouted striking a nearby tree. "Spiral Blast!"
Elsword stopped and slowly waited for his mana to go back up. It was quiet. Even though he could hear crickets chirping, it was quiet.
"Are you training?" A monotone voice asked.
Elsword jumped, surprised from the sudden voice that filled the quiet air.
He turned around to see a sleepy Eve rubbing her gold, amber eyes.
"Yeah," Elsword replies. "sorry if I woke you up."
"No, it's just that I don't understand why you would train so late." Eve says. "Especially since you already train too much during the day."
But it's not enough.
"Yeah, but I wanna get stronger!" Elsword laughs rubbing his head.
"If you'd like, I can help you train." Eve offers.
"Really?"
Eve nods her head once. She turns her head and her amber eyes glowed. Her drones flickered to life and floated towards eve.
"Why don't you go back to sleep first, we can train in the morning." Elsword suggests.
"I would, but Aisha's snoring is loud." Eve says. "I wasn't prepared like Rena was. She had earplugs but I didn't."
They were on their way to stop whatever King Nasod was planning. Along the way, each one of them had accepted their quest to their next job advancement. I was first to advance, of course. Eve was close, and so was everyone else. Quests meant traveling, and traveling meant sleeping outdoors.
"Ha, that girl doesn't know how to stop being annoying." Elsword laughs. "She's even annoying in her sleep!"
Eve shows an emotionless smile. Well, at least she was trying.
"Shall we?" Eve asks.
Elsword nods.
"Seal of Extermination!"
Eve's attack and magical power increases tenfold.
Elsword uses the back of his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead. He swung his arm once. His hand glowed and his weapon appeared. His mana was refilled. He took a deep breath.
Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale.
(Flashback)
"C'mon slowpoke what's taking you so long?!" Elesis laughs.
"Sh-shutup! I'm trying my best!" Elsword yells back, embarrassed.
"Aw, this is the BASICS of the basics," Elesis starts. "first you do this."
Elesis closes her eyes and concentrates for a moment. She inhales. Then exhales. Her aura shifts from blue to red.
"Destruction mode…" Elsword mutters under his breath with amazement.
She opens her eyes and smirks.
"See? It isn't hard at all, just concentrate!" She walks over and ruffles his hair. Elsword's confidence then boosted. He ran over to the exact spot she was standing on. He closed his eyes like she did. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale.
"Concentrate, Elsword, concentrate." Elesis says.
Slowly, slowly, slowly, his aura moves from blue to red. Destruction: 100%.
He opened his eyes with a huge grin on his face.
"I DID IT!" Elsword cries out.
"Heck yeah you did! Good job sport!" Elesis grabs him into a headlock and gives him a noogie.
"Ow! Owww!" Elsword complains.
"I knew you could do it." Elesis says releasing him. She smiles proudly down at him.
"Of course! Since you're my teacher AND sister, I can do anything!" Elsword gushes.
Elesis laughs shyly.
"C'mon sport, there's more work to do, let's go!"
"Yeah!"
(Flashback end)
Red. Elsword's aura shifted into red. Destruction mode: 100%.
He ran towards Eve who was waiting for his first move.
"Spiral…" Elsword began. "Blast!"
Eve's drones pushed her into the air and she nimbly landed behind him.
"Illusion Strike!" She calls out. This temporarily stops him, which was bad. "Illusion stinger!"
He falls down. He then weakly stands up while holding onto his now injured arm.
"Ow…" Elsword complains.
"I-I'm sorry." Eve lowers her head and stops attacking.
"No," Elsword sighs frustrated. "It's my fault for not training enough."
And for not being as fast as sister…
"What're you guys doing?" Aisha complains sleepily. "I was dreaming about eating meat for once since Rena makes me eat vegetables only. Then someone HAD to ruin my dream to train."
She glares at Elsword and his sword.
"I'm sorry." Eve replies monotonously
"Awww, Eve-chan, it isn't your fault at all!" Aisha yawns, she drapes an arm around Eve's shoulder and leans on her sleepily. "It's that El-baka over there."
"Who are YOU calling an El-baka?! You can't even keep one eye open!" He laughs haughtily.
"What'dyousayloser?!" Aisha shouted sleepily.
Eve sighs. She couldn't even speak correctly.
"Aisha, go back to sleep, you're tired." Eve suggests.
"I'm not even close to tired, I'm so pumped up right now!" Aisha laughs waving her arm in the air once. Her purple staff appears. Her eyes were wide open now. "When it comes to fighting this idiot, there's no stoppin' me!"
"Come at me shortie!" Elsword taunts.
"Chain," Aisha starts. "Fire ba-"
"Oi… you little midgets… why are you interrupting my beauty sleep…?"
Aisha and Elsword stiffly looked over their shoulders to find a glowering, angry, sleep deprived Rena.
"Didn't I tell you before…?" She continues. "If I was EVER awoken from my beauty sleep, again you'd get punished!"
Rena was definitely not a person to mess with.
"I thought Rena had ear plugs?" Elsword asked Eve nervously.
"Yes, she did. They must've become loose?" She replied.
"Ho ho… prepare for the ultimate punishment…" Rena smirked evilly.
"You guys have fun, I'm going to go clean up by the river." Eve says.
"NooOOOooooo, Eve-chan! Don't leave me to die!" Aisha cries while trying to run away. Elsword as well. But Rena had a good grip on both of them.
"Yeah, don't leave us dear friend!" Elsword cries.
'Well that was weird…' Eve thought
(*****)
"Congratulations, everyone!" Rena shouted happily. Rena had become a sniping ranger.
Everyone had gotten their first job change. Elsword had already started his second job quest, he was on the second part! Everyone else was still on the first.
"Waah, Eve you look so cute in that outfit!" Aisha, who became a high magician, stated while admiring her.
"Really?" Eve says. Her code was now: Code Architecture. She turns to Elsword and asks, "What do you think?"
"H-huh?" Elsword blinks. "Y-yeah you look c-c-cu-cute!"
Eve smiled a small smile, nobody noticed, but Elsword did. He blinks and rubbed his eyes to make sure if it was a smile that he saw. Sure enough, the smile was no longer there. She really was kind-of cute when she smiled. Elsword wondered if anyone else in his group ever saw her smile.
He saw someone frown at the corner of his eye. He glanced at the frowning person, and it was Raven. (Sword Taker)
Raven quickly looks the other way scowling.
"Let's eat!" Rena suggests, noticing the tension building up between Raven and Elsword.
After a while of eating food and chatting, they decided to head out.
"So which dungeon are we going to do?" Aisha asks.
Everyone shrugs except for Eve.
She sighs and calls for Oberon, "Oberon, which dungeon are we up to?"
"First you must go through Altera Plains once, and then Nasod Foundry, M'lady." Oberon replies.
Eve winces when she hears "Nasod."
The quests they was doing so far all involved Nasods. She had no choice but to cut each and every single one down. They were all corrupted. Her people… killed by her very own hands. Every time she thought of it, she'd get a very painful, weird feeling in her chest.
A hand pats her shoulder. Rena. She smiles at Eve warmly and says, "Let's go."
Eve nods.
(*****)
"We are now entering the dungeon m'lady." Oberon says.
"Everyone prepare yourselves. We are about to head into battle again." Eve calls out.
The gate to the dungeon slowly creaks open, we all grit our teeth, hoping we'd make it out alive.
Elsword swings his arm and his sword appears, Aisha and Raven does the same. Rena pulls out an arrow from her quiver and aims it at the middle of the opening gate. Eve's amber/gold seyes start to glow, and so does her drones.
Boom, bam. The gates bang against the sides.
"Go!" Rena shouts. She relases her grip on her arrow, it whooshes through the gate and hits the first Nasod.
Raven charges towards the first few Nasods and shouts, "Shock wave!"
Elsword charges past Raven and screams, "Spiral Blast!"
A Nasod creeps up behind Elsword.
"Guide Arrow!"
Elsword turns his head, surprised. He nods his head thanking Rena silently.
They continue to cut at the Nasods.
Eve and Aisha attacks the mob of Nasods at the same time.
"Illusion stinger!"
"Lightning Bolt!"
Enemy, eliminated.
"We're going further in." Eve shouts to Rena.
"Ok!" Rena shouts back, trying to stab a Nasod with her arrow. "Be safe!"
The three continues the battle while Eve and Aisha moves further in the dungeon.
(*****)
"Magic Missile!" Aisha says waving her staff in the air. "Chase down the enemy!"
Aisha stands still holding her staff in midair, trying to regain her mana quickly. They were halfway through the dungeon, but she was in very bad shape. Eve notices this and opens her bag, she reaches in and takes out a red drink. She hands it to Aisha.
"Thanks." Aisha gulps it down and her health rises back up.
"Sonic Wave!" Eve says. Oberon attacks the nearest Nasods in a crescent 360° style. Eve was also extremely exhausted but she still stood tall, her pride as the former Nasod Queen made her continue her queen like attitude. "Oberon, go scout for more Nasods. Eliminate any who resist."
Oberon nods and dashes quickly towards the chaos.
"Let's rest." Eve suggests. "Then we'll catch up with the others."
Aisha nods weakly and sits, waiting for her health to recover.
(*****)
"Triple Geyser!" Elsword shouts. He cuts and slashes, a Nasod worker attacks him and he falls on his back. "Ow!"
Elsword pops back up and dodges the Nasods next strike. He rolls past his enemy and strikes the Nasod from behind. When he finishes he pants heavily. Another area finished, only two more to go…
"Humming wind!" Rena shouts.
"Berserker Blade!" Raven says finishing off the last Nasod.
"Uugh, finally, we're almost there!" Rena smiles trying to keep us happy. She combs her ruined hair with her hand. "I better get a nice warm bath after this. Lets go meet Eve and Aisha."
They continue towards the last and final stage. Elsword takes out a blue drink and drinks it.
Mana: 100% ; Health: 70%.
(*****)
Aisha peeks through the opened gate and sees both the Blue and Red twins. The gates were already open. It was like the twins were anticipating them.
"M'lady, may I suggest that we go in first?" Oberon says.
"We can't! We have to wait for the others, if we go in now, we'll be crushed." Aisha cries. Her health was at 100% but she feared that if she charged out there now she'd die… of course, Eve wasn't afraid. Eve stood and said, "Me and oberon will go first."
"You can't! You'll die!" Aisha says.
"I won't die." Eve states, "I am the Nasod queen."
"Former Nasod queen," Aisha continues. "The Nasods just won't listen to you anymore!"
Eve's amber/gold eyes begin to glow menacingly.
"They may not function properly anymore, but I am still queen. Any who dare defies their queen will die in my presence."
Aisha cringes at her friends sudden change of attitude. She didn't want to go but… she couldn't let her friend go out there alone.
"Fine." Aisha says. "But I will go with you, I better not die."
Eve tries to smile. "You will not if you have me and Oberon protecting you."
"What's the plan though?" Aisha asks.
"The element of surprise." Eve says. There was a hint excitement in her voice.
"Let's go then!" Aisha smiles.
Aisha runs in and shouts, "Blaze step!"
She was quickly engulfed in flames, it didn't hurt or burn her. Aisha then ran towards the blue twin, Leviathan. They fell back on their nasod bum, her fire continued to burn him and his blue life source. "Cyclone!"
Aisha smirks. The element of surprise. It always works. Her elements may only revolve around the ones from nature, but the Element of surprise was definitely one of them, even though it wasn't from nature.
"Genocide Ripper!" Eve shouts. Oberon slashes his swords 100 times in the blink of an eye. Ignis falls back a few steps. Then he raises his big red Nasod arm and whacks it against Eve. "Uff." Eve grunts in pain, while falling onto her back. Oberon quickly ran in front of her and fended against Ignis' next attack. She quickly glances over at Aisha, she wasn't doing so hot either. Ignis then whacks Oberon aside and creates a flame tornado burning Eve.
Eve screams in pain, her health slowly goes down. Burning. Fire. Pain. Death.
Was this how the Nasods felt when they were killed by Eve?
Oberon struggles under Ignis' foot, Aisha tries to come help but she was too preoccupied by her current foe.
Death is close…
"Eve! Aisha!" A terrified voice shouts. It was Rena trying to fight back.
"Shooting Magnum!" Rena shouts again. It was impossible. Both of the twins were in super armor mode, draining Aisha and Eve's health quickly.
Raven and Elsword runs towards the Blue and Red twins, only to be thrown back.
"Let them go you freaks!" Elsword shouts angrily, still trying to fight back.
But, we both were near our breaking point.
"Good...b-" Eve started to say, but then-
"Saber - Extinction!" ; "Aceldama!"
Two voices shout out attack commands in unison. Missiles shot into the air, it exploded on the twins with a blinding light. We shut our eyes trying to protect our eyes.
But before we did, a Red Flame shot past everyone attacking both of the twins finishing them off. Before the light in our eyes died, someone said,
"Come on Chung, before they see us!"
The Flame ran without waiting for it's partner.
"W-wait!" He shouts.
The light in our eyes fades. We open our exhausted eyes to see a person standing in the middle of the battlefield.
(*****)
That voice… that color… that strength. Could it be?
The Red flame that flew past them, eliminating their foes in one strike. It must be… right?
Elsword wished that he had better eyes. Never in his life, did he wish that he had stronger eyes. He looked at the others to see if they saw who the other person was. They were just as confused as he was.
He angrily marches up to the person who was standing in the middle of the battlefield. He lifts him up by his collar and questions him with a threatening voice, "Who are you and who was the other person?!"
"C-calm down… my name is Chung, I'm a shooting guardian." He states nervously. "And that person who was with me is a high ranked Knight in the kingdom of Velder."
"What was her name?" Elsword asks impatiently.
"Calm down, Elsword." Aisha says putting a hand on his shoulder. "He's just a… girl?"
"Boy!" Chung shouts angrily. "I'm a guy! Can't you tell?!"
"Oops, boy. I meant boy." Aisha says, her face become pink.
"I'm gonna ask you one more time, what. Was. Her. Name." Elsword asks clenching his teeth.
"Okay, okay.. jeez. Just let go of me" Chung says. Elsword lets go.
"The person that was with me. They call her the Red Flame of the Knights. She's one of the highest ranks in Velder. I just happened to be traveling with her. As for her name… it was something that started with an E… El… Elesis?"
Elsword's heart sped up. It was her! It was actually her!
"Where is she now?!" Elsword asks again taking a step forward.
Chung took a step back with his hands held up in front of his chest, palms facing Elsword.
"Probably on her way back to Velder? At least that's what I think." Chung says. "But you need to be a level 40 knight to get into there."
"Tch." Elsword says clucking his tongue.
"We have to find her." Elsword says to the group.
They all smile and nod.
"We'll help you of course!" Aisha says.
"Thanks." Elsword smiles back at them.
After all this time, after all this chasing, questing, working, he was finally close to his goal, finally close to his beloved sister again.
My quest for now was to become a Level 40, Lord Knight.
(*****)
"Find the El Rena, don't remain an outcast any longer… find enough power, and your honor will be restored… don't become a failure like your mother was, go…"
