Me: Ugh… My arm hurts.
Eli: Type the chapter already!
Me: O.o
"Prince": Heh heh heh heh… Good luck, author,
Me: I just typed the one-shot and I want some rest…
"Prince": You mean…
Me: Yes… The one where Eli cried… Admit it, Eli.
Eli: Type it already!
Me: *sighs* I'm out.
I have fallen asleep like a light.
Eli: Hey!
"Prince": Leave him be, Eli. You can't expect him to type a good story if he's mind and body are too tired.
Eli: He'll be sorry when he wakes up.
The next day…
Me: GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!
Eli: *cracks her knuckles*
Me: Uhm… "Prince", door or window?
"Prince": Window is the best choice.
Me: Run! *jumps off the window*
Eli: Hey! Come back!
"Prince": Heh heh heh… This should be fun…
After a while… Eli and I came back and we're all wet.
"Prince": What happened? *takes a sip on tea cup*
Me: Eli fell into a river and sadly, a waterfall was nearby. Did I mention that Eli did not know how to swim?
Eli: S…Shut up! *sneezes*
"Prince": I didn't know Eli can't swim… You want me to teach you?
Eli: SHUT UP! *sneezes*
"Prince": I have some tea here if you want.
Eli: Thanks… *pours some tea on a tea cup*
Me: I want some too…
Eli: You can't have some until you finish the chapter. *takes a sip out of the tea cup*
Me: Okay… Do the disclaimer while I get a towel and some dry clothes.
"Prince": Silent Treecko doesn't own Grand Chase and its official characters and he only owns his OCs. The others have their corresponding author.
Me: I'll start then…
Ch. 2: Eli
Ace's POV
I walked along the corridors and I passed the lab with a big sign saying 'DO NOT DISTURB' in red ink. I sighed when I saw that.
"Is Mari still working on the blueprint that Eli had received three years ago?" I said to myself.
I continued walking when I saw Torn and said hi and his reply was a mean look before he passed by. I just ignored him and continued walking along the corridors.
Blade's POV
I watched Eli training. Yesterday, she was doing a speed firing test and today, it seems that she's trying to improve her close combat skills. I got bored and I stood up.
"I'm afraid that fighting an inanimate object gives you a little experience," I said.
"So, you're suggesting something?" Eli said.
"Why don't you try me as your sparring partner?" I suggested. "No weapons, no tricks. Just bare hands and skills in close combat fighting."
"Challenge accepted," Eli said.
She formed a stance while I prepared myself for the fight. I attacked first by trying to hit her head first. She saw my attack and blocked it. At the same time, she grabbed me and threw me overhead. I landed on the ground face first.
"Come on. Get up," Eli said.
I did what she said and took my stance. I tried to confuse her by running around her as fast as possible. I was watching her every movements and I saw that she isn't moving an inch. When I was behind her, I stopped and attacked her. My fist collided with her back but she didn't flinch. Instead, she grabbed my arm, kicked me in the gut and threw me overhead and I landed with my back first.
"Just tell me if you had enough," Eli said, somehow taunting me.
"Oh yeah? I'm just getting warmed up," I said while I stood up.
I dashed towards her and delivered a series of punches and kicks. She either dodged or blocked it while she tried for a counterattack. I, of course, dodged it and countered. This lasted for a while until I stepped back and thought of a new strategy. I dashed before I did an axe kick on her. She blocked it with two hands and I used those hands to jump above her. When I was in the apex of my jump, I forced myself to go down while aiming my foot at her. She rolled to the side and dodged my attack, which formed a cloud of dust. By the time it disappeared, it was her turn to deliver attacks. I dodged or blocked the incoming attacks while I slowly move backward. The Pistol Slayer also moved forward while she delivered blows. Then, I bumped into something hard and I realized that I was cornered into a wall. I can see a smile on her face as she delivered more blows. I was distracted by the wall and some attacks collided with me. Then, I saw an incoming punch, whose target is my head and my reaction was to duck, the punch collided with the wall.
"Ouch!" the cerulean-haired girl held his sore hand and blew it.
'This is my chance,' I thought.
I punched her in the gut and followed it up with an uppercut, both of them landed on her body. Then, I delivered a series of punches with a mix of quick kicks, some landed a hit and the others were either blocked or dodged by her. Then, I delivered a roundhouse kick, which she blocked. Then, she grabbed my leg which I used for the roundhouse kick. While she held my leg, I kicked her right side and she grabbed my leg. Then, realization hit me when gravity started to pull on me after Eli raised both of her hands and I was hanged in midair. I flailed helplessly as I beg for her to put me back to the ground.
"Let me go!" I pleaded.
"Say pretty please first~," Eli said.
I hesitated and tried to calm myself down, which I succeeded at doing so. Then, I grabbed her legs and pulled them and she went off balance. She landed on the ground and I had a rather soft landing since I landed on her. I stood up and tried to get away but she grabbed one of my feet and I landed face first. Just then, I can feel a foot on my back.
"Give up?" Eli said.
Just then, Amy's voice echoed through the air and said "its breakfast time, everyone!"
The Pistol Slayer removed her foot and she offered her hand to help. I grabbed hold of it and I stood up with the help of Eli.
"You're not bad," Eli commented.
"You're good at it," I said.
"Let's go and eat breakfast, shall we?" she asked.
"Of course," I said.
Both of us went inside the mansion and headed for the kitchen.
Third Person View
As soon as everyone gathered, breakfast has started. Everyone ate in a calm manner with an exception for Elesis, who ate in a quick pace.
"You must've a high metabolism, Elesis," Eli commented, which earned a glare from the red knight.
Eli just continued eating after that. Then, Eli filled her glass with water and drank from it. After she finished, she went back to eat again but she noticed that her food was missing. She looked around and she spotted Elesis eating it.
"Hey! That's mine!" Eli shouted.
"Elesis! Give it back!" Ronan demanded.
Just then, Eli brought out her rifle and fired at Elesis. Some ran away from the table, some hid in safe places and the others just didn't care what's going on. Elesis ran around and she was followed by the Rifle Assassin's bullets.
"Whoa! Stop it!" Sieghart shouted.
"Eli!" Kaistern said.
"Ceasefire! CEASEFIRE!" Ace shouted from below the table.
"Transato!" Brendan said and the firing stopped.
The ones who were hiding went out of their hiding place.
"Where's Eli?" Aira asked.
"I just teleported her to the nearby lake," Brendan said.
"Oh…" Sapphire said.
All of them, except the ones who didn't mind the situation, sat down on their respective seat and ate. Only after a while of silence did they realize something.
"You fool! Eli can't swim!" Scarlet shouted.
"Uh oh…" Brendan said.
"Let's go! Double time!" Lire said.
Some of them stood up and went out through the windows. The ones who have stood up sprinted towards the nearby lake.
"They could've just used Brendan's Transato…" Dio commented while the others are gone.
"I'm afraid we can't tell them now. And Brendan's with them," Ley said.
? POV
"Gotcha!" I said.
I grabbed hold of a fish I just caught in this small lake. I was glad that I finally caught one. Just then, I heard a scream before I heard a loud splash. Then, I heard shouts of help, although it was unclear. I panicked and looked around and saw someone who was drowning.
"I'm coming!"I shouted.
I swam towards the point where someone was drowning. Then, the poor one started to sink and I dove after the person. I didn't mind who the person was and tried to save that person. I grabbed the drowning person and swam towards the surface. When both of us surfaced, I swam towards the shore and placed the person on the ground.
"Man you're heavy!" I said before I gazed into the person I just saved.
"E…Eli?" I said in disbelief.
Just then, I remembered that she can't swim and I had to do something.
'Should I do the CPR?' I thought.
Just then, Eli coughed.
'Glad that she's okay,' I thought and sighed.
"Eli! Where are you?!" someone shouted.
"She can't hear you if she's underwater!" someone argued with the first one.
I saw that Eli slowly opened her eyes and before she completely opened it, I hid on the nearby bush. Just then, I realized that my fish is gone.
'Guess I'll have to catch a new one,' I said and sighed.
Eli's POV
'Did I saw someone… familiar?' I thought.
I stood up and looked around. Just then, some of the Chase came and approached me.
"Eli, are you alright?" Arme asked.
"Yes," I said.
"Wait. How did you…" Brendan said and I cut him off.
"I think someone helped me," I said.
"So, do you know who's he?" Sieghart asked.
"I caught a glimpse of the person but I don't know the guy," I said.
"Okay," Sieghart said.
"So… shall we go back?" Elesis said.
"Sure… But first…" I said.
I pointed my pistols at the Omni Switcher.
"Spell Break!" I shouted.
I fired a bullet and after that, I dashed towards Brendan and grabbed him by the arm. Then, I threw him into the lake. When he surfaced, I threw Elesis at him.
"Take a swim, you two," I said while I placed my pistols back to where I place them.
"Wow, Eli…" Arme said.
"Let's go," I said "Unless if you want to join them."
The others shook their head as a no and I left.
Me: End of chapter! Now, give me some of that tea.
I grabbed a tea cup and poured some tea in it.
"Prince": New information revealed: Eli can't swim!
Eli: SHUT UP!
"Prince": I told you that I can teach you how to swim.
Eli: To hell with that!
Me: Anyway, I think I'm going to make a standard from now on. The standard is that I will only update if the latest chapter HAS AT LEAST THREE REVIEWS.
Eli: O.o
Me: I'm just going to do so since I want some comments on every chapter that I worked hard on. I really want to know what you think so that I can improve the story. So guys, please understand me and review.
Eli: You heard the author, R-E-V-I-E-W!
Notes:
1. Mari's still working on the blueprints Eli got three years ago.
2. Yes… Eli can't swim.
3. Who's this person, who seems to know Eli? Find out later in the story. ^^
