Disclaimer: I do not own Elsword, never had. never will
Chapter 1: The Start:
"Flying Through The Past And The Future, Don't Give Two F**ks About What Gets Thrown In Our Way.." the man sang as we flew through time and space, looking at the colors that flew past us.
"So what is everyone like?" I asked as colors continued to fly by, giving me a stomach ache even when I wasn't looking.
"You can figure out then" the man said as he he focused ahead and stopped for a second and asked if he'd ever told me his name and I replied with a simple, "No, you haven't" and he stopped.
"Oh sorry then, my name was Add, but you can call me anything you want I don't really care" he told me and he resumed, "But anyhow we should be there in about a minute" and true enough we were met by a blinding light.
"Destination reached" beeped a device that was surrounding us and within second I felt warm air circulating past me and it was not the warm AC air I felt it was real warm air like in the summer.
"Welcome To Our Squad, kid" Add introduced me to the group which consisted of a guy with dual gunblade and was wearing dark blue pants and shoes along with matching vest and shirt with a tie, his long trechcoat stood out to me just like his white hair with a streak of blue.
A girl with a blonde bun and a long hairpin took next to him, she was wearing a European kimono and constantly changed from a rifle, pistol, sniper, and minigun.
Standing behind her was an android girl with tight looking black armor hugging her all around and looked menacing with rows of metal spikes which grew like a flower in bloom.
Stand beside them was a pair of red-hair siblings, a guy who looked younger with spiky hair and traces of black, his top had armor that showed his arms but completely covered his torso and armored metal shoes and pants that matched with his dual swords. The girl had dark colored (wanna say leggings but nahh), a dark red stained shirt that was fitted with metal elbow and wristguards and she gave off a bloodythirsty aura which creeped me out a bit.
After the five of them, there was an elven girl with a fantasy dress and had an elegant bow that looked the bow was priceless, the work of a true master of the bow and standing beside her was a guy that at first I thought to be a guy with what I would call puppy ears, heck, he even had puppy eyes but still he still had on heavy armor which showed his status on the team.
Standing behind everyone was an Oriental girl who wore translucent leggings, a large coat over everything, large socks and shoes along with a short (wanna say qipao) but most striking of everything was a pin that looked like it had real tails flowing from it.
Add looked at me with a brief glare then motioned to everyone else and point to everyone in order, "The group has Ciel" he pointed to the guy with the trechcoat who gave a slight wave and smile, "Rose is here" he motioned to the girl with the European kimono who gave a little nod knowingly.
"Behind Rose is Eve, my queen" Eve immediately turned and threaten to skewer him on a spike, "The two reds are Elsword, the dual sword handler, and Elesis his sister who is a pyscho killer" Elsword just laughed and waved hello while Elesis was deep in thought, probably deciding how to dice up Add.
"Behind them is Rena the elven archer" he motioned and Rena waved an energetic 'Hello' and waved, "Ara The Klutz" he pointed to the Oriental girl who just said "Hey...not nice" and raised her spear, probably to skewer him the same way Eve and Elesis will.
"Last but not least is Chung, the cute puppy dog of this group" and Chung looked like someone just painted his face red then blue as he went angry to depressed, "We still have Raven and Lu out but I introduce them to you once I get the chance, but first we must test you"
I nodded and Elsword walked over slowly with both of his swords at his sides and smirked, "As you can tell, I am Elsword. I am the leader of this team as well as being the Infinity Sword" I was deep in thought at this point, "Test me in what.." I thought.
"I want to test you in your fighting ability" Elsword said as we walked slowly to a small area of grass and Elsword went to the other side of the patch while I went to the other side.
"Don't hold back, and don't kill, all items are prohibited" he stated and we both reached for my weapons, me for my dagger and resting my katana and Elsword for his dual swords.
"3...2...1...GO!" he yelled and I teleported in front of him using shunpo and slashed at his side with my dagger and felt the hit connect but at the same one of his own sword was dangerously close to my sword arm.
Backing away I studied his movements before I charged again, and swiping at him from the left and then the right and dived down for the kill, all I managed to inflict was cut a small splint of hair off, yet Elsword managed to cut my arm.
"Not bad" I leapt forwards just to clashed with his dual swords and at first it seemed like he was really about overpower me with both of his swords but I found an opening and kicked him away in the gut which dealt some damage as he flew into the nearest tree.
Wiping the blood from his mouth, he complimented with a 'not bad' and I replied with a 'you're not too good either' Elsword stood up and smirked.
I sliced at him again but he blocked it with an energy sword muttering, "Compact Counter" and countered with yet another attack which was "Rage Cutter" as blade flew upwards and using shunpo to dodge there was nearly a dozen times when I nearly gotten hit.
"Whirling Dragon's Claw.." I muttered and my dagger grew a slight golden hue to it and with Elsword slicing upwards which nearly cut my eyeball in half, I I sidestepped and managed to crosscut his side and used shunpo to materialize below him and axe kicked upwards.
"Okay stop" Elsword made the sign for me to stop but even though I was confused at first, I agreed and bowed slightly and offered him a hand up.
"That was a good fight, I have to admit if I didn't use shunpo I would have lost" I admitted as Elsword brushed himself and bandage the little cut on his arm. "This is nothing but yeah, I noticed that you were using that 'shunpo' of yours and I can tell that it works with you" he said as I pointed to his side.
"Are you sure that your side will be fine?" I asked as I'm pretty sure I put some strength into that cross and all Elsword did was wave me off with the words, "This armor won't break to something as easy as normal armor"
I dropped the topic there and hearing a roar going through the forest and not too soon afterwards there was a visible line of smoke that seemed to be in the south western direction of us so I shunpo traveled to a nearby tree to have a better look.
"Guys, Glitters..might be nearby" Rena the elf warned as I felt a tinge of murderous intent, "Yup, there's quite a lot too" Ciel stood up and readied his gunblades and looking down, he had a pack of dark green grenades and some throwing knives as well.
"DIE HUMANS" a creature said as a pack of creature barrelled out of the trees, with large bent torsos and tiny legs.
"Yeah right, here we go" I rolled my eyes, none of them had ever managed to hit us."Homing Arrows" Rena muttered as arrows homed into the monsters like heat seeking missiles and the ones who weren't killed by the arrows were sliced in half by Ciel's Gunblades.
"Peace of cake" Cield said as he sat back down, as Rena looked at him with the expression,"Are you serious?"
"The pun was intended!" Ciel said happily and just then there was a huge explosion as the smoke in the distance never seemed to cease so I asked my little question I tried to hold in.
"Where were you guys even heading?" I asked and Eve replied, "Foolish human, in front of us, the capital of the Velder Kingdom" as she pointed in the general direction of the smoke that I saw.
"I saw smoke in that direction, does anyone want to go with me to see what is happening?" I asked but no one volunteered to join and I was fixing to just leave alone when Rena piped up and said that she'd be glad to come along so we headed out, me using shunpo to skip from tree to tree and Rena who seemed to just appear and disappear here and there.
Perching on tree branch near the city, I waited for Rena and at the same time took a moment to look at the city, it was a mess...blood splattered everywhere, Glitters and other monsters flooded the area and it seems that even the stronghold inside the city had fell as well.
I was just standing there watching the chilling screams of men, women and children alike and the corpses that I saw on the ground and the bloodthirsty shrieks of blood as the demons murdered and plundered everything in sight.
Rena arrived shortly afterwards and saw the same thing that I saw, blood and gore all over the place...but we coudn't do a thing and sudden a arrow found it's way under my foot and the branch gave way and flashing Rena the signal, we got out their as fast as our feet and magic could carry us.
Somewhere in Time and Space:
"Code: Blade, you will hereby be the newest Code, use your power to it's limit and destroy everything in your way, following only your Imperial that clear?" A deep voice said and a pair of eye opened in a dark life sized capsule in response.
Back To Original Time:
"So what happened around the castle?" was the question that hit me as I came into their field of vision, I tried to say something good for once but Rena just filled in my spot.
"There are demons attacking the Velder Kingdom's capital" she said flatly, "Not only only are they inside the city but they are also trying to slaughter every last man, woman and child" right after she finished talking there was rustling sounds in the bushes nearby and everyone raised their weapons in preparation for an attack at any moment.
But a man and a child walked out from the bushes with his hands held up high, "Ally, don't shoot or slice!" he announced.
Everyone put down their weapons while Add gave out a little chuckle, "Well there is everyone, kehehe" he laughed manicially and Eve just looked back at him in disgust then turned around while I just sighed.
"Hehehehe, so this is Raven, The Reckless Fist and Lu Sourcream, The Chilliarch" Raven I studied has black hair that has a patch of white along with a mechanical claw that seemed to move on its own.
Lu on the other hand, looked just like a little girl wearing a dark blue hoodie and having a claw on her right hand that seemed too big for her and the aura she gave off was bloody like a demon's.
"So what's going on with your side, Raven?" Elsword asked as he turned to Raven "The demons were attacking the city on all sides and most of the defenders had already been murdered by the initial attack and that the demons were clearing out the rest" he reported.
"So we are going to save the capital?" Ciel asked as everyone got ready for combat, put on weapons and gear and prepared to fight.
Somehow this also reminded me of my not-so-blurry past where I could've been fighting with my team if it wasn't for the strange pattern of events that happened in the last few days.
"Elgang to the rescue!" Elsword held his sword up high and everyone else there cheered(surprisingly) and he sgtarted to make our way to Velde along the way, killing a little monster here and there.
Before long, we had arrived at the Gate to the city and it was a (still) a mess with corpses and blood all ove the place and some of the them had frozen horrified expressions on their faces. "So the plan is that we go as a group scout out any remaining soldiers in the region to ask about how and when this happened and then we will head back here around tomorrow night to discuss our plan of action, any questions?" The Infinity Sword asked and all of us but Raven shook our heads no.
"I think that we should go in teams, since we should be strong enough to take care of most of the demons here, going in two different teams. We can get more things done and we can also do everything we need in less time." Raven pointed out and some of the others agreed to which we then split into three teams.
Rena, Elsword, and I were on one while Raven, Ara, Rose, Lu and Eve were on another and lastly, Elesis, Ciel and Chung.
