"I can't believe I forgot to give Shelia a package and the worse thing of all is the fact that I live with her and still forgot!" Akane muttered quietly "...Maybe I should blame those bad dreams..." she sighed heavily and after doing so she tripped on something.
And once she hit the ground and dropped the package Willie gave her. she looked behind her and snapped "Alright! whose the cruel joker?!" then she sweat dropped when she saw that no one was there besides two swords "It's official...I'm losing my mind O_o..." the white haired teen thought and looked around "Um...does anybody own these swords?" she asked and to her dismay no one responded "Why did my life suddenly become a horror film?...wait...what's a horror film?"
Akane shrugged and picked the two swords up. maybe a member of the garrison lost them? she placed them on top the package and then proceed to walk to her adoptive family's house. "Yo Shelia! I have a package to give to you" she said as she try to open the door without dropping what she's carrying.
Shelia opened the door "Oh! there's the package I've been expecting!" Shelia said happily and then noticed the two swords "Where did you get those sweetie?"
"Erm...they magically appeared so I was giving them to the town's guards?" Akane replied in a awkward tone as Shelia took the two swords off the top of the package so the seventeen year old can give her the package.
"They...magically appeared?" Shelia said with a raised brow. "Does this have something to do with those dreams of your's? you haven't told anyone what their about and i'm beginning to worry"
Akane laughed awkwardly and waved her on "It's nothing! trust me mom. dreams are just dreams. and that's that" she said sheepishly. knowing if she told her adoptive mother about her dream that Shelia would surely freak out. especially about the whole fighting against demons and a freaky knight wanna-be that kill's her in the end of the dream. "So...does anyone in the town own these?" she changed the subject and referred to the two swords.
Shelia shook her head as she began to open the package "Not that I know of" She replied. She then began to mutter something and turned to Akane "Akane, sweetie, can you be a dear and do me a favor?"
"Sure"
"Okay, you see these boxes of jam just arrived from the port. Please help me deliver them to the merchant's in the village."Sheila then gives a frown only a irritated mother can have "Also, ask them if they have seen your brother, Joel. I have no idea where he is."
This made Akane confused "Didn't he come home last night?" the teenager asked confusedly and as a reply. Shelia shook her head. "That's odd...could of sworn he was in his room when I went to bed last night..."
Later...
Akane bit her lip. where could that little brother of her's be? sure they weren't blood related but still. she cared about his well-being. she walked up to Shelia "I got some good news and bad news. which one do you want first mom?"
Shelia sweat dropped "Umm...the good news?"
"The good news is the merchants minus Betsy that is. loves the jam"
"And the bad news?"
"The bad news is no one has seen Joel"
This made Shelia shake her head with a sigh as Theia. Akane's adoptive younger sister said "That's our classic Joel. always runnin' around and won't tell anyone where he's going"
"Hasn't anyone seen Joel? Where has that boy gone?" Shelia glanced around anxiously. "I ought to go look for him. could you give this lunchbox to York? when you see him, ask him to find you a suitable job."
"K" and with that she began walking away. and that was when she got a uneasy feeling, on one hand something told her 'DON'T GO TO YORK!' On the other hand it also said 'Go...you'll be surprised at what happens!"
Which either way gave her a chill up her spine. she shook her head and continued on with her daily routine.
Later that day...
"Why won't this UFO leave me alone?!" She wondered as she gathered the last gem for Elena. first she was stronger than usual because she was actually able to cut down a tree and then she fainted twice and the second time she woke up she found a UFO hovering beside her...now she wonder's if it's too late to go back to bed and retry everything the next day. she was never the one to believe in the supernatural but it seems that she is starting to believe in it now.
"Miss Elena! I got the three gems you needed" Akane said and try to sound calm as she gave the gems to Elena. each gem was practically vibrating with energy.
After Elena embeds the three gems in her staff. they begin to radiate dazzling rays of brilliant light. "Ah. they've regained their power. next, I will cast the exorcism spell on you. if it goes as planned. it will remove the Spirit following you." the white haired teen nodded "However, if it fails, and the spirit takes you over, I will have no choice but to use my magic to defeat you. do you understand?"
Akane paled and began praying to Gaia and everyone up in the Aura Kingdom as Elena waved her staff and began chanting something she couldn't understand afterwards Akane began to float. she try to relax as the wind whip around her. but she couldn't help but let out a small shriek of surprise. then the air suddenly became violent, as though it is trying to swallow her whole and a electric pain shot through her body.
"I'M GONNA DIE!" She thought as colored spots began to appear as a sign that she was going to faint.
"Akane?!" Elena cried out when she saw the pain on her face and immediately stopped reciting the incantation. the light of the spell extinguished, Akane collapsed to the ground in pain. then the blue glowing orb that had following her had formed into creature she has never seen before.
The white haired teen slowly got up and glanced at Elena who, in turn. is also looking at her with a face of complete shock. "I...I never...well, this is unexpected." Elena could hardly take her eyes off the creature beside the seventeen year old.
Akane was about to say something when a garrison member ran up to them and explained to the seventeen year old that Brian had gone crazy and kidnapped Joel. to which the young girl replied with "THAT MOTHER ****!" and began to walk away when the mysterious creature said "Please take me with you, you'll need my help!"
"Okay...you can come but leave Brian to me. I want to kick that baka's ass for kidnapping my little brother," The seventeen year old girl said and with that they went after Brian. while doing so she learned the mysterious creature's name was Merrilee and that she is her Eidolon. and that Akane should bring the two swords with her due to Brian being a Envoy of Gaia too and that it could be dangerous fighting him unarmed.
"BRIAN COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP OR I'LL BREAK THEM!" Akane's voice sounded in a angry tone.
Merrilee sweat dropped "Shouldn't we do a sneak attack?" the eidolon asked while blinking.
"Screw sneak attacks! he kidnapped Joel so I wanna go see him in person and kick him from Mars and back!" Akane replied. making the eidolon stare at her weirdly. Merrilee jumped/flew backwards a few itches when her Envoy said "There's the jackass!"
"M-Master...wait" Merrilee said as she try to hold the overprotective sister back as she began charging toward Brian and his bloodthirsty panther. "You...shouldn't charge into things like this!"
"And why not?! he can try to kill Joel any minute now!"
Sighing. Merrilee let her Envoy go. and let's just say as soon as she did so Akane tackled Brian to the ground within seconds and that made Merrilee make a face like this O_O afterwards she began to fight Brian's bloodthirsty panther. seeing that it about to pounce on her Envoy.
Brain got up from the ground and grabbed Akane by the wrists "So you have a spirit too? it look's like we're not so different. C'mon. join me!" To which as a reply Akane kicked him in his 'area' and made him sing opera by doing so. she then took this chance to get as far as him from possible.
"Heck no! I am here to save my brother not join a walking sugar plum!" The white haired girl exclaimed as she glared at him with Merrilee by her side. as well as referring to his purple clothes.
"No?!" Brian glared at her "You're also here to save this little devil. so you'll come to a sorry end like them!" he stated before going into a battle stance.
"Okay then. if you say so baka" she said calmly and went into a battle stance as well. then after what seemed like year's Akane shouted "Merrilee go after his panther!" and with that they went into battle. Merrilee using her ice magic on the bloodthirsty panther whilst Akane fought Brain with her swords.
After the battle was over...Brain turned into a monster literally..."WHAT DAH FUDGE?! THAT'S A FACE ONLY A BRICK CAN LOVE!" Was Akane's reaction to his new err...look. Brain was about to hit her however she blocked the attack with her two swords. she then back flipped and ran at at him and began slicing n' dicing and for the final strike her and Merrilee did a combo attack. that which made Akane made dizzy since they went around in circles.
"Master, are you okay?" Merrilee asked in a concerned tone.
Akane nodded slowly "Y-Yeah...just let the room stop spinning and I'll get back to ya" was her reply as she try'd to ignore what Brain was saying.
"I'll be watching you Pandemonium's shores" Brain said and well...fell down as a signal that he has been defeated and or died. though Akane shivered at the thought of him watching her.
"Pervert!" She thought as Shelia and York Ran up to Joel. she turned around to look at her adoptive parents and brother. she smiled and walked up to them.
As she walked up to them she heard her adoptive father freaking out and asking a dozen of questions "Joel, are you okay? are you hurt?" York examines the boy frantically, searching for wounds.
Joel looked at his parents "Dad, Brain...he's not...he transformed...I was so scared..." Joel said as he began crying.
"Don't be afraid, son. hush. daddy's here. it will be alright." York glanced at Akane with unease.
"Will it really be okay?" The teenager wondered.
"Akane...can you explain to us what happen here...?" York asked
This made her gulp and bit her lip nervously as Joel said "Mom, Dad, why are you looking at Akane that way? My sister saved me from a serious baddie. without my sister, I would have never seen you again."
"Joel...dad just thinks..." York sighs. Akane saw a tingle of fear in his eyes. which made her look down to the ground.
"Joel, we know. but there are still a couple of things we have to figure out..." Shelia said
That was when Kane spoke up "Chief York! Akane shouldn't stay in Port Skandia. nobody can guarantee this freak won't go crazy. for everyone's safety, Akane should leave." He said sternly
However whilst York stayed quiet Sheila said "Kane! Bite your tongue!"
"Dad! Akane is a good person! you're just going to send my sister away?!" Joel said as he looked at his dad.
"Kane, how could you say such a thing?!" Elena shouted/said
"Am I lying? you saw what became of Brian. how can I be sure the same won't happen to Akane? anyone under the curse should leave for the good of our village!" Kane shouted
Akane turned to Shelia "M-Mom?" Shelia rested a hand on her shoulder tenderly. she can't help but shed a single tear. all of the suffering and fear she has hidden deep within herself suddenly leaped to the surface.
Shelia looked at her adopted daughter "I think that's enough for the day. everyone is exhausted. you'll still have to say something eventually, but for now, let's all get some rest."
And with those words thus started a new day...
The end is just the beginning...
Chapter 2 Done! YES!Though since i based all this from memory of the game some part's might not together though seeing that i got to go to bed i didn't have enough time to put most the quests in the story.
Though i'd try to make Akane more of a protective over her family type of person because anybody would freak out if their sibling was kidnapped. blood or not.
However i think i'll skip Heloina coast. Crescent hill and Cactakara Forest since i have most the chapter's after those three places planned o.o
Also sorry for any typos or such i have been awake for a whole day and i can barely keep my eyes open O_o and i plan to do a few chapters that are non plot-related since at level 55 you have to get to level 60 to finish the main story quest so there will be five chapters that aren't related to the game's plot. one will be about Akane going back to Port Skandia to relax and such but Reinhardt decides to come to Port Skandia to either burn the village down or to go kill Akane and her adoptive family. o.o
I had Joel call Akane his sister instead of hero and savior because that kinda would of made it sound like he never knew her at all and made Akane call Merrilee when she was a glowing blue ball thing a UFO since that's what it looked like at first to me o_o'
My Aura Kingdom Avatar name is Crystalstargaze and i play on Channel 02
Chapter 3 coming soon!
