Title: Lux of Agatha (Umbrella Story Season 2)
Rating: Fiction T
Summary: One day, a gladiator who calls himself "Umbrella" broke the rules of RHG battle and attacked the other gladiators. He got his final mission to kill FLLFFL(ALFA) from the Division. This fanfic is about Resh's Umbrella. Thanks to Resh for making awesome videos.
Before you read: This is sequel to Cantus of Libera, Umbrella Story Season 1. If you haven't read Umbrella Story Season 1, I recommend you to read it first. You can check it in my profile in Fanfictionnet site or in Deviant Art.
All characters (except Healer Pax and Healer Bonum) belong to their creaters(Umbrella-Resh, FLLFFL-Terkoiz, and so on...). I only have copyrights of my characters(Pax and Bonum). And, this is just a fanfic, so settings and backgrounds about RHG characters might be far different from the original one. And, the most important thing is that English is not my mother tongue, and it's my first time to write fanfics. Sorry for poor grammers, poor expressions, and everything due to my poor English skills.
Lux of Agatha Prologue
17 years ago.
GMC(Gladiators Mediation Committee) was located in the center of Garam city, which is near Dojo's border. In fact, this building with broad green fields was once a chateau and it had been renovated into the headquarter of GMC. Except some rooms, rest of the rooms were used as offices handling some works related to gladiators or used as reception room. This mansion usually was in a quiet and calm atmosphere, but today, at least until one hour ago, it was crowded with gladiators who came to celebrate the 1st anniversary of the establishment of GMC. Now, the celebration party was over and all the guests went back home.
Leaning against a small table in the balcony of the mansion and feeling the cool breeze, Caligo closed his eyes and brought back his memory.
"Please don't die on me, Agatha! Please!"
"…"
"No, no! Please, please stay awake. Hang in there, Agatha. The ambulance is coming. So please…"
"Caligo…"
"What are you thinking about?"
At the sudden voice, Caligo opened his eyes and look at the origin of the voice. Xorta was looking down at him, with his right hand on crutch. On his left hand was a tray with two glasses of wine. Caligo hurriedly get the tray and put it on the table.
"Ah, thank you. Why didn't you tell me to bring them?"
"Because you look quite serious. What's up? Did something happen during the party?"
At his word, Caligo paused for a moment while thinking about something. Then he looked at Xorta's crutch for a moment, and he handed one of the glasses to Xorta. Xorta sat on the chair and took the glass of wine.
Caligo and Xorta clinked the glasses and drank the wine in silence.
"…I need to clean the reception room."
"Housekeepers have already done it."
"And kids?"
"Reana and Stell went to bed."
Caligo nodded and sipped the wine. Looking down at his glass, he didn't say a word for a while.
After a while, he opened his mouth.
"I've been thinking of Agatha. And Gaon."
"Um…"
As if the memory of them lingers on him, Caligo slightly closed his eyes. For the past year, he sometimes recalled the accident like a hallucination. His PTSD was better now compared to one year ago, he still had a vivid memory of that day when Agatha and Gaon died.
"But if you are in the doldrums all the time, they might be sad, too. You still have your family. You have to think about Reana and Stell."
"…"
"Ah, how was the party?"
"Oh, yes. The party is well and truly over. More people came than I expected. I thought many gladiators would hate to make this GMC.
Xorta laughed at Caligo's word.
"Well, maybe they finally realized that in fact they were similar to runaway horses.
At his word, Caligo laughed loudly. Xorta was one of the people who helped him when he and Top sticks were trying to establish the committee. The committee had a hard time to raise fund for the establishment, and at that moment, Xorta let them lend his mansion and support them financially.
"Thank you, Xorta. Without your help, we couldn't make it in a short time like this."
"Never mind."
Caligo and Xorta restarted their conversation. As the night advanced, the green grass was swaying in the gentle breeze.
1 year before GMC(Gladiators Meditation Committee) established
Without people wandering in the park, the metal weapons clashing sound could be heard. Sometimes explosions could be heard.
In the center of the park, two gladiators were fighting. Each of them had their own weapon, but those were quite different from normal weapon. One man was holding a long sword with a jet engine at the end of the grip. Another man had a gun with a slightly long gun barrel. The man used the long barrel for blocking Alfa's blade. And everytime he pulled the trigger, it shot dark green projectiles and the projectiles blew up the things surrounding the two gladiators.
"I suggest you to give up, ATROX. There's nothing left that you can blow up. Haven't you done all the fireworks?"
"Shut up! I'll see until when you can keep that attitude, ALFA(FLLFFL)!"
The metal clashing sound was heard again.
Author's note:
This is a past story of Cantus of Libera. It will feature the background stories of this whole Umbrella Story Series. These days I'm writing Season 2 chapter 13 in Korean, and Korean readers said that the story gets interesting after chapter 12. I agree at that opinion. Haha. Familiar characters(even in this chapter), familiar scenes.
The gun that Atrox uses was inspired by Beretta M92FS, the gun that Preston uses in the movie 'Equilibrium'.
+I'm so sorry for late updates.
I have some news, good news and bad news.
Good news is
I start my job as a nurse at the ICU from 2/15.
It's my first job after I graduate from the university.
Bad news is
I think there won't be enough time to translate fanfic regularly.
Because lots of newbie nurses have difficulties in adjusting to their job...
But I do not quit translating this. After I received an e-mail from the hospital about a week ago, I tried to complete writing season 2 in Korean, and finally, I finished it. Season 2 consists of 26 chapters including prologue and epilogue. And it's much longer than season 1. It will feature the creation of Umbrella Division, and the past stories of season 1 characters. There'll be Andre, Alfa, Yupia, Mr. pix, Vlak, Xiaoxiao, Wrench, Umbrella, Pax, Bonum and so on.
So, what I have to do now is just translating. Writing Storyline is the most difficult thing, and I'm done with it. So just translating won't be that hard...
It'll just take time to translate things, like... one chapter for 2 weeks or at worst, one chapter for a month... But I'm not giving up.
Sorry for late updates and late announcement. I'll upload next chapter as soon as possible.
Thank you.
