Chi: I think Roxie hates me.

Eve: Oh really? What gave you THAT idea?

Chi: The fact that I woke up with a lazer pointed at my forehead, when I tried to make toast, the toaster exploded, and the note she left that said,

"WORK ON MY STORY OR DIE IN HELL."

Raven: I'd say Roxie's just being Roxie.

Chibella: Or she really wants to kill you.

Rena: Why are you worrying anyway? You've got an entire Gopher Army, Muffin Weapons, and your Zombie Bunny Battalion.

Chi: The ZBB is still in progress..

Aisha: Wait..Lem can repopulate?

Everyone: /Insert thinking about Lem repopulation

Elsword: *barfs*

Raven and Aisha: [Pale]

Rena: Oh..ooookay then..

Chi: NO NO! I meant I just kill bunnies and reanimate them..

Chung: I hope that's what you mean.

Chi: It is, I promise.

Lem: ...You know that's a lie.

Chi: ...

Everyone: ...

/Insert the Elgang barfing

Furry Creatures

Chibella found Eve minutes later, the sound of her VS alerting Chi's attention. After propping up the stiff Nasod, she looked at Eve's cold figure, which was propped up against a tree, her eyes closed, courtesy of Chi. After watching Eve's sleeping figure for a while, Chi muttered,

"Hey, Moon, what's wrong with her? Shouldn't she have woke when I moved her?"

You idiot..she's a Nasod. She probably needs to recharge her batteries.

OR she just needs to sleep. Just because Nasods are robots doesn't necessarily mean they don't recharge like us. Sun countered.

"Guys, make up your mind. What should we do?"

How about GETTING SOME SLEEP YOURSELF. I'm beat. Moon said with a yawn.

Wake up Elsword for the next watch, we'll see what happens.

"Whatever.." Chi walked over to Elsword and jabbed him with the tip of her scythe. He rolled over. She poked him again. He rolled over again. Finally, she stomped on his manhood.

"AH SHIT!" he screamed.

"Quiet." Chi muttered, clamping a hand over his mouth. Elsword glared at her and muffled through her hand,

"Wha was tat fr?"

Chi removed her hand and said, "It's time for you to take watch. Besides, something's wrong with Eve."

Elsword raised his eyebrow and glanced over to see Eve's apparent sleeping body propped against the tree, the stinging pain from Chi's stomp making his crotch throb painfully. He glared at Chi before walking over and kneeling down in front of her. After poking her three times with no slap, he opened her eyelid to see a gray, lifeless eye staring back at him, a small, faint golden light in her eyes. Elsword shrugged.

"She's probably worn out."

"She needs to recharge, dork. We'll need to get to the next town."

"When?"

"Depends. We can either wake everyone up now, get to the next town which will probably take till dawn, or we can take her in the morning."

"Morning. Hands down." Elsword flopped down on the grass, crossing his legs and resting his cheek in his hand. "Now go to sleep, I'll watch you all, Eve included."

Chi hesitated, then nodded, sitting next to Aisha's sleeping figure and lied down, falling asleep almost instantly.

Eve awoke, the room covered in a white light. She winced before the light died down, allowing her to take in her surroundings. It was a metallic looking structure, a furry white creature staring at her from the corner of her eye.

"Ah, you're awake! Good. I was afraid the recharging process might've shorted your circuts." Eve slowly sat up, feeling a light bump on her head, a long cord going down into the wall.

"You were brought by Elsword and his friends, correct?" Eve turned to face the creature, and nodded. The creature smiled. "Splendid! Ahem, allow me to introduce myself. I am Amos, a Ponggo Alchemist."

"I see. Thank you, Amos," Eve said, tugging on the cord absentmindedly. "Do you mind?"

Amos nodded, smiling broadly. "You are fully charged, thankfully. Your friends are at Adele's house. What is your name, by the way?"

"Eve. Queen of the Nasods." Eve replied in a monotonous voice before stepping out into the village of the Ponggos.

Adel: It's ADEL. NOT-

Chi: AND I SET FIIIIRE! TO THE RAIIIIN!

Aisha: I WATCHED IT POUR AS I-

Eve: *slaps her hand over Elsword's face* TOUCHED YOUR FAAACE~

Elsword: -.-

Eve walked slowly towards the Chieftain Ponggo's house. Ponggos chattered restlessly throughout the village, and Eve wanted to get a good look at the town before she went barging inside the Chieftain's house. She had nearly tripped twice over some young Ponggos playing with a bright red and blue ball, and had profusely apologized afterward. After taking in all the sights that the village had to offer, she knocked gently on the Chieftain's door. After a few moments, the door opened to reveal a slightly bigger figure than the rest of the Ponggo she had seen, and his beady eyes flashed in alarm, but faded, and a smile replaced the fear the Chieftain once showed.

"Are..are Elsword and his friends here?"

"Ah, of course! You're Eve, aren't you? Yes yes, come on in!" He gently took her hand and led her inside. "I'm Adel, but I'm sure Amos told you that already. Come, your friends are in here." Adel opened the door and six pairs of eyes lit up when they spotted Eve.

"You're awake!" Rena said with a smile. "Good..we were worried about you when we woke up and saw you lying there."

Raven cleared his throat and muttered, "Good that you're back with us,"

Chibella walked over to Eve, grabbing her hand. "Well come on then, let's sit down and have a little discussion. We were thinking about what we should do now."

"We have the El, do we not?" Chung piped in with a grin. "I say we just head back to Ruben to deliver it to them."

"True," Elsword said with a wide grin. "I'm sure Hagus would even dance a jig when he saw the El."

"Oh!" Chibella smiled. "What about-"

Eve tuned out the excited voices of her companions as she accessed the data from a small amount of the map she was able to grasp before she had shut down the night before. There was the Core, the Village of Ponggos, the Altera Plain she remembered vividly in her mind, and an abandoned tunnel. Eve bit her lip, searching her data banks for any memory of this tunnel. Nothing came up, of course. Sighing, she felt someone tap her shoulder and turned to find everyone staring at her. She raised an eyebrow.

"Yes?"

"You zoned out for a bit there, then let out a sigh. Something wrong?" Aisha said, resting her head on the table.

"Ah, no, Aisha. I was just looking at the data I gathered from my map scan last night."

"Map scan?" Rena chimed in. "Is that what made you shut down?"

"Yes," Eve replied with a nod. "I believe it was. It seems I don't have the same energy level as before, it will definitely be harder for me to scan for life now.."

"Eh, don't worry about it, Eve." Elsword said with a dorky grin. "We've got our own map. It may not be high-tech but it works." He pulled out a long map and slid it over the table, pointing to a spot over to the west. "We're here, in Altera. We'll need to take a ship down to Bethma, and travel from there back to Ruben."

Eve once again tuned everyone out as they discussed their plan. And, unbeknownst to them, she asked Adel is she could go prepare for the trip.

"Of course. I'll tell the shopkeepers that you're coming."

"Thank you." Eve nodded, walking out the door. She didn't even get ten feet from the house before she heard,

"Eve!" Elsword called after her. She turned and saw him running towards her. "Where ya going?"

"To prepare for the journey. I'll need some weapons and some form of charging device."

"Oh, right..."

Eve turned and started walking down the steps to see the blacksmith. Out of the corner of her eye, she could see Elsword following behind her, his eyes full of excitement.

"We're finally gonna bring the El home, Eve."

Eve managed a smile. "It must've taken you forever."

"It did, and we were caught by all sorts of idiots. Like Wally, he-"

Eve and Elsword chatted while they gathered supplies, running into the others once in a while. They tagged along too, and before they knew it, all their ED had been spent on the supplies for getting back home.

"Well, we can leave at midnight. Better to get a head start eh Elsword?" Raven asked, glancing the red-head's way. Elsword grinned.

"Sure, fine by me. As long as the Princess can get her beauty sleep."

"I really hope that wasn't an insult at Eve, Els.." Aisha puffed out her cheeks. Elsword laughed.

"Nope. I meant you."

"That's it. Hold still and I'll singe your lips off, real nice and slow!" Aisha raised her wand and Rena did a face palm. Eve just watched the two go at it, flinging childish insults and wrestling on the ground. Soon, a chuckle escaped her lips. Raven looked at her oddly and she just led her eyes away from his gaze, and her eyes landed on Chung, who was smiling at her. The moment their eyes made contact, he looked away quickly. She blinked, and her eyes widened as Chung ducked from a fireball.

"Aisha! Watch where you're slinging those things!" Chung called out to her. But the plum-headed mage was too busy aiming fireballs at god-knows-where, trying to catch Elsword, who was running around like a chicken with his head cut off.

"I suggest you all get used to this," Rena said, staring ahead. "It's gonna be a bumpy ride."

"Rena? Who are you talking to?" Eve asked. Rena turned to her with a sheepish smile and said,

"Oh, no one. Ehehe.."

Chi: And the story is done~

Eve: What.

Chi: Just kidding, just kidding. I mean the CHAPTER is done. We got my computer back into a desk, so I'll be more active on Elsword again~

Elsword: Joy.

Aisha: And..?

Chi: Oh right..I won't be updating for a while, in the last few weeks of school. 2 weeks before school ends we're getting our laptops taken away, so my updates will be..even slower than usual.

Raven: Yay.

Chi: Shut up Emo.

Raven: I'm an emo kid, non conforming as can be, you'd be non conforming too if you looked just like me-

Aisha: NO.
