*... You hear the faint scream of someone.. is it BiscuitFF?
Me: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
*Oh my gosh! It's him!
*... Elsword seems to be attempting to hit him with a sword...
Me: STAY AWAYYYY!
Done on 2/15/16 :)
Elsword: PREPARE TO DIE, COWBOY!
*...Biscuit seems to have summoned a nuke launcher from Fallout, and is now pointing it at Elsword.
Elsword: WHAAA- Hey, that's not fair! I only have a sword!
Me: Oh well!
*Biscuit attempts to fire, but it doesn't seem to work. He clicks again. "It don't work!", the narration box says.
Me: Really? Get me the Enigma from the other dimension.
*A portal is opened, and a machine pistol drops from it. Biscuit picks it up, and starts rapidly shooting elsword.
Elsword: Sorry! T_T *runs away*
Me: Sorry about that... I was running from him for about... 3 or 5 months? I don't know?
Me: Anyway, welcome to the long-awaited fourth chapter of Zephyrr's Adventures! Yeah!
Me: Sadly, I was gone for a long time due to my brother pranking me and accidently breaking my computer... We had to wait awhile to get a new one.
Me: Welp, we've got an early arrival today!
Reiss: This is way too long for an intro, y'know.
Me: Who cares! You're coming along, whether you like it or not!
*Biscuit drags Reiss to the computer, and starts typing
The land is quiet...
Me: Hey, wrong fanfic! Oh, and one other thing. This chapter 'll have some new OCs joining in. *shudder shudder* The work I have to do...
Reiss joins the party... Time, Location movement - 6:00 PM, Temporary Homebase
Zephyrr seemed as if he'd collapse at any point. Well, ditto for me. My eyelids drooped, and Elsword was already on the couch. Chung and Aisha were probably in their rooms.
"M... Man, that was a... crazy fight... Woo...", I said, breathing in between words.
"You've... got... that...", Zephyrr attempted to say before collapsing onto the ground. I ran towards him, somehow picking him up, dragging him over to his room. As soon as I put him into his bed, I blacked out, landing with a thud onto the floor.
POV, Location Movement - Reiss, Reiss' Hex Home
I held my parents' picture in my hands, sitting on the hexagonal chair.
"Mom... Dad... why'd you have to go?", I said. I sighed, placing the picture frame on another hexagonal piece of furniture. I drew some energy from the house, using it as if it was coffee/food.
...Thoughts started ranging in after a few moments. I want to make sure this doesn't happen to anyone else, one said. Should I... Do something?, the other said. I used my connection to the Hex to turn on the also hexagonal TV, watching a satellite recording. I zoomed in to Ruben, a nearby village, looking for anything bad.
I was answered a few moments after, watching a group of bandits head to the El Tree.
I saw someone. His name was Zephyrr, a good friend. He was fighting them... with his sister? I never thought she fought. She was more busy healing than fighting.
I instinctively knew that these bandits were bad news. I'd take care of them in the morning, turning off the tv, and dashing upstairs. I'll just wait 'til tommorow.
POV, Time, Location Movement - Zephyrr, 6:00 AM, Temp. Homebase
Everyone was downstairs, eating their breakfast. Leanee had baked some whole grain bread, while Eve had recycled some 'food', that no-one bothered to eat, saying that it's made from waste... Blugh, the thought alone made my stomach queasy.
I myself brought some food from Bethma, having some lizard jerky and phoru cookies. Everyone else ate Leanee's bread.
"Well then...", I said, breaking the silence. "How's everyone?"
All of a sudden, everyone just nonchalantly stated "Good.", even Eve. Chung was gone for a bit, saying that 'he had a surprise for us'.
A few minutes later, Chung burst open through the door, startling everyone, and making Ara fall out of her chair.
"Surprise? Ara, you okay?", Chung said, dropping some bags, and helping Ara up.
"Y-yeah! I'm up! I'm fine, thanks Chung!", Ara said, recovering quickly and back into her chair.
Chung nodded, and took the bags again. "Well then, anyone thirsty?", Chung stated, everyone raising their hands in response. "I brought Spirit Tea, El Fire Smoothies, and even Desert Soda."
Desert Soda? That's my favorite drink, even if it's not from Bethma. Everyone walked up to the bags, and started to take some of the drinks. Elsword thanked Chung for bringing them.
I started sipping on my Desert Soda, liking the carbonated beverage.
This continued for a few hours.
POV, Time, Location Movement - Reiss, 7:00 AM, Hex Home
I finished drawing my daily amount of nutrients from the house, walking outside.
"Time to head to Ruben...", I said, calmly as ever.
Luckily, it wasn't too far, so I got there quickly, greeting the villagers.
"Have any of you seen bandits around?", I said, asking around.
Hagus, one of the few people in Ruben, replied with "Banthus' bandits? They were last seen at the El tree. They've still been attacking us, ever since Zephyrr and his friends took down Banthus."
So, Zephyrr's still here? Cool. "Thank you, Hagus.", I said in response, leaving to the El Tree.
Time, Location, Stage Movement - 8:00 AM, EL Tree Stage 1/2 (Hard)
"Well, well, another Elsword-gang-person... thing showed up!", a bandit yelled out, as soon as I got to the Tree.
"Elsword? Who's that?", I said, tilting my head. The bandit didn't reply, instead only laughing in response. He took out his weapons.
"Get 'im, boys!"
The first strike went out quick. I dodged elegantly as they attempted to attack. I drawed my sword, and slammed the first group of bandits with my hex.
"Hex SLAM!", I yelled out, slamming again. I ran out of Hex energy, resorting to my blade.
Unfortunately, one of the bandits came out behind me, slamming my back with a giant log. I fell down, and they piled onto me.
I endured hit after hit, and I immediately awakened, pushing them away from me. I had infinite Hex energy and proceeded to Slam every single one of them out of existence.
I ran out on the last enemy, and he seemed to be cowering in fear. I grinned crazily, and yelled out the last words he'd hear.
"Hex EXECUTE!"
I immediately uppercutted him with a hex, and drove my sword into his body. I then released all of my hex energy into the sword, and wiped him out of existence.
It seemed as if it was just silent. I must be done.
Walking back to the entrance, it was blocked off. The only way to get out was through that garden arch over there. I went through.
Time, Stage Movement - 8:30 AM, Stage 2/2 (Boss: William Phoru!?)
Erm... All I saw is a phoru with a sword. I coughed into my hand, and asked "Are you serious?"
"Are you the one ruining my plans!?", said William Phoru.
"Heh! After Banthus died, I took over as the new leader!"
So there were more people. Great.
"Come on out!", he yelled.
An army of bandits started surrounding me. I got my weapon ready.
This was gonna take some time.
"Go!", William yelled. Every single bandit jumped at me, and I said another skill.
"Hex PUSH!"
Every bandit about to pounce on me immediately got pushed away, falling onto the ground. I shrugged, taunting William with "That all you got?".
"Not all!"
Another army of bandits came. And another.
Difficulty Movement!? - (INSANELY HARDDDD OMG)
"You've GOT to be kidding!", I said with a hint of panic in my voice.
"Nope! You get to fight all of these guys, while I shoot you with this!"
William pulled out a gatling-crossbow. I widened my eyes at this.
"Everyone... ATTACK!"
I immediately pulled out a distress beacon, and clicked the button, dropping it.
"Hex SHIELD!"
I deployed a shield around me that kept the enemies at bay. Not for long, however. Hopefully, someone would respond to my calls.
POV, Location Movement - Kiddo Kaganoff, Near Ruben
And someone did respond.
A 12-year-old, much like Reiss, heard the distress beacon.
"What's that, Loreille?", Kiddo would say, hiding a blush with his scarf as he talked to his partner. Kiddo would wear a black set of clothing, with coat, pants, etc. There would be a gray scarf wrapped around his neck, and his white hair contrasted it perfectly.
"It's a distress call, Kiddo.", another 12-year old would say. She was Loreille Lunette, who would wear dark purple pigtails, black jacket decorated with purple chains, and a knee-length purple skirt. Her eyes were heterochromia iridum, one being purple, and the other being red.
They've both had a crush on each other, explaining Kiddo's blush. Luckily, Loreille was the more oblivious of the two, and never noticed.
"It's coming from someone named... Reiss Endo?", Loreille would continue. "Who's that?" Kiddo would shrug in response.
"Why don't we go help them? I'll use my great sword to lend a 'lil help.", he'd add.
They both moved to the El Tree.
POV, Location Movement - Reiss, El Tree Stage 2 (INSANELY AHRD I MISSPELLED ITTT)
My shield wouldn't last long under their constant barrages of knives and logs. I tried keeping it up longer, but then...
...It broke.
They rushed in, and started striking me all over my body. I crouched down and attempted to use another Hex Push, but my body wouldn't do so.
It was painful everywhere... Until someone came.
"Yo! We're here to help!", a laid-back, and somewhat cheeky/carefree voice said.
"Yeah. I'm here too.", an emotionless and feminine voice said.
I heard the sounds of swords being swung everywhere.
The other sounds belonged to the jingling of chains and a pendulum swinging.
"CHOP!"
"Trapping Chains!"
I could feel myself being able to get up, activating my awakening mode. I then yelled out:
"HEX PUSH: AM!"
This was a much more advanced version of Hex Push. It pushedback the enemies, and dealed a KD that lasted longer than usual.
"Dang, that was cool!", the more masculine voice yelled out.
I quickly recovered to my neutral pose, and yelled out a new skill:
"HEX EXPLODE: AM!"
I immediately charged up all of my Hex Energy, and burst it out quickly. Most enemies at this point were at very low HP, and I losing mana quickly.
"Again, DANG!", the boy said.
I could see that it was a boy the same age as me, with a girl, also the same age as me. They seemed to be skilled in combat, until I saw what next the boy did.
"I'm rushin' it!", he yelled out, moving in.
What stopped him was a giant log. Yep. THUD!
I rushed in, too. I came in to guard the boy from another attack from the log-wielding Bruce.
The girl came in beside me to yell out another skill:
"Aerial Defense: Target Kiddo!"
Chains flew out, guarding the boy from any attacks. This free'd me up, and I went in to swing against the enemies.
"Kiddo, you ok?"
"Y-Yeah, I'm fine, thanks to you." Kiddo would give Loreille a Kiddo-grade smile, Loreille blushing in response.
"Not to interrupt, but we have even more armies storming in, and that phoru's got a gatling crossbow!", I yelled out.
Me: Oh yeah, forgot about the crossbow.
William: HEY!
Me: Shaddap.
William: Sorry...
The impact of arrows hitting the ground (and accidentally, the army) filled the noise in the background, but I continued my assault. Kiddo and the other kid were tending to their wounds, and I kept my defense up.
I continued my strike...
"There's too many!", I yelled out.
Wait. Wasn't there another skill?
There was a cost to it, though.
I should probably use it.
All of these thoughts in my head decided if I should use something... new.
I decided on using it.
I stopped attacking, and did some calculations in my head.
It will work, trust me!
What if it doesn't?
It WILL!
With that group of thoughts, I yelled out my final skill (before a job change [probably even after]).
"HEX DECIMATE: HELL STYLE!"
I supercharged all of my hexes, using up all of my mana and sta-mana (get it? hah.) to release a spiritual bomb (totally not from dragon ballz), decimating the army (yep, that's the name. i'll stop now.) I continued this up, even decimating William, who only got KOed for some reason.
...
One.
Two.
Done.
I finished it off, using the last of my hex and mana. Looking around drowsily, the battlefield was pretty much wiped out. Kiddo and the other kid were still behind me, probably in awe about what I just did.
It worked.
I collapsed to the ground.
POV, Time Movement - Kiddo/Loreille, 9:30 AM
I was in awe of what just happened, but I kept my laid-back and carefree demeanor.
Loreille just asked "What was that?", using the same expression as me. My great sword stayed parallel to me, Loreille on the other side of me. Her pendulum stopped swinging, and the chains released me.
Loreille walked to the armored kid, probably curious about what his condition is.
POV Switch to Loreille (when chars are paired up, i can use them in actual pairs, k?)
I looked over the kid with curiosity. They were the same age with me.
As curious as I am, I curiously poked them with my chains.
They didn't budge. They're not dead, though.
"What are we going to do about him? I don't want to leave him here.", I said.
Kiddo replied, saying "We'll bring him to a house. C'mon. Heh."
Time, Location Movement - 10:00 AM, Hex Home
"This... is an interesting house.", I said.
"I think it belongs to him. He really likes hexes.", Kiddo replied.
It probably was his. We plopped him onto the couch.
"How does this house even work, anyway?", I asked rhetorically.
"Wish I knew."
The armored-kid started to move a bit.
"He's waking up."
POV Movement - Reiss
My mind felt REALLY foggy... I attempted to move around, and barely did.
"He's waking up."
That's all I heard, and attempted to draw hex energy. It worked.
That meant I was in the house.
I sat up quickly.
"Wh... What happened?", I questioned.
"You tell me.", Kiddo said.
The female kid followed up with "How'd you... do what you do?"
"I don't know, it's just an ultimate skill I had with me.", I replied.
I stood up, walking to the hexagonally-shaped kitchen, using my connection to open the fridge and take a pre-made sandwich, heating it up with my hex.
"I call it HEX, an energy source so dangerous it could kill."
"How come we never get to learn this stuff?", Loreille says, nudging Kiddo.
He shrugs in response.
"You guys can explore the house. I'll be in the bathroom.", I say, heading upstairs to the master bathroom.
POV Switch - Kiddo/Loreille Pair - Control: Kiddo
I walked upstairs, reading the hexagonal(yet again) labels on the doors.
One was apparently a Hex-Lab, so I went in.
The lab was filled with all kinds of chemicals and concoctions. I willed myself to not touch anything. A few I recognized, due to me actually being intelligent. I walked out soon after.
I went to the changing room, and changed into my casual (yes, at every wardrobe we have every char's clothing), consisting of a gray hoodie and black jeans. I like it.
POV, Location Switch - Zephyrr and Co. - Temp Base
"That was heck of a party, Chung!", Elsword celebrated. Everyone else agreed. I whispered to Leanee, "How many times did Ara fall, again?"
She replied "I lost count after seventeen.", both of us snickering to ourselves.
"I'm dedicating this day to relaxing!", Aisha yelled out cheerfully. Everyone seemed to crowd on to the couch, somehow all fitting together.
The screen zoomed in, closing.
Oh boooy. That was a lot of typing for one day. Yeah. I finally continued it! Sorry it took so long, and yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh bye.
Elsword: You forgot the ending OOC scene!
Me: That's right!
Me: How does it feel to be in the story, Reiss, Kiddo, Loreille?
Reiss: Feels nice. I like it.
Kiddo: I agree. Though I'm not sure why I rushed into the bandit army.
Me: You won't understand, so yeah!
Loreille: It's fine. I was curious to how Reiss did that HEX EXPLODE or something.
Me: Alright, that's all the time I have. (at 3AM anyway...)
Next chapter, one lucky character will get a new class job! Yeah!
