We heard a voice scream from the hallway and my heart filled with joy. The scream belonged to Aisha. Aisha. That name made me so happy. I ran towards it full speed, unsheathing my sword to see what has happened and who has attacked her...but there she was.
"A-Aisha?"
"Hello, petty little Elsword, slutty Rena, and emotional and useless Eve. Welcome to the Dark Realm...My name...I haven't heard that for so long!"
"Aisha? What's going on?"
On her back were protruded wings, one a bat wing, the other a black angel wing. My eyes widened at the sight, her amethyst eyes weren't there. It was as if...she was being controlled. One eye was a hatred red while the other was an ocean blue. And...the hell, she was completely older than I last saw her. She actually looked younger...but more mature.
She charged at me fast with her wings folded, meaning that she probably would want to fly for escape. If she loses of course. I readied my sword while Rena and Eve readied their weapons. I blocked her hit and realized that she wasn't going for me, but for Rena. She had somehow appeared behind me and I uselessly slashed at her, and she dodged again. She was on a different power scale than us.
"I shall destroy you!"
"WHO ARE YOU?!"
I screamed these words out and instantly regretted them. Aisha stopped movement and her wings began to shrink but a dark, amethyst aura surrounded her, and a tint of fiery red flashed in her red eye.
"Me? Oh, I thought you knew who I was. After all, you guys were the ones who ignored me. Now I know you don't care for me. I guess that means that all you came here for is Raven. Well, I won't cure him if that's the case."
"W-What?"
Whoosh. She struck Rena down. Rena didn't even notice that she was hit until afterwards. Rena spat a bit of blood and glared at Aisha, before falling onto her knees after another blow. I rushed towards Rena while Eve blocked the incoming attacks.
"R-Rena?!"
"Aaaah...It hurts...R-Raven...w-we must s-save him..."
"It's okay, Rena. It's okay."
A dark voice originated from behind us and I grinned.
"I thought you were at home."
"Well, I came here since there was an unnatural floating thing in your room."
"Well, I think that you're still hurt so look af-"
"Oh, hello Raven. Nice to meet you again. Are you looking for the cure to your curse?"
"No. I'm going to save Rena and get outta here. Oh, I forgot. I'll also beat you."
"Oh really?"
Suddenly there was a clash. Raven was struggling to keep Aisha away with his sword and his nasod arm, but I knew that Aisha probably had the power to make the curse stronger. I attacked Aisha from behind and threw her away from us, down the hall. But I saw it. That hungry look emanating from her hateful eye yet the other was still calm and blue.
"I think Aisha's blood type is type AB."
"No time for jokes, Elsword."
"We gotta run. Eve?"
I heard a scream and a silver flashed past me. Chung had appeared in a flashy entrance.
"I came because Raven told me to! Don't blame me!", Chung whined, probably thinking that I would get mad at him.
"It's okay...We need to find Eve and Aisha. I'm guessing that Aisha captured Eve."
Somewhere else~
Heheheh...Now, to just make Eve obey my commands...wow, Elsword threw me down the hall where Eve was. Good thing that I caught her and flew away. Eve was in a tank, with plugs attached to her. I pulled her out unconsciously and started to put ink on a brush and paint weird swirly signs on her. Imperium malediceret. Deep within me, a voice chuckled.
Back to Elsword~
ARGH! WE STILL COULDN'T FIND EVE! WHERE WAS EVE WHEN I THREW AISHA?! Okay, calm down. I grabbed my sword while Chung carried Rena effortlessly and while I helped Raven move.
"We must find Eve before we leave."
"But you can't."
"Why not Rav-Aisha?"
"Yes? Why, Eve may not want to leave. Right, Eve?"
In a monotone voice, Eve appeared in the hallway with emotionless eyes. She looked the same yet she seemed different.
"Yes."
"Eve we must defeat Aisha and leave here. NOW! Eve you've got the chance to beat her!"
"But will she beat me? No. Because she belongs to me now. Eve, play with Chung and Raven for now. I'll fight Elsword."
"Yes, my queen."
What? Eve called someone else queen? This isn't Eve. Is Eve being controlled? Now that you mention it, she has some swirly patterns on her back. I focused on Aisha as Eve fought everyone else, I'm pretty sure they will win. I unsheathed my sword and was about to attack her, and noticed that she was being held down by Raven.
"NOW, ELSWORD!"
"Guh!"
I slashed Aisha. Black blood came out of the wound, and she closed her eyes as her skin became pale.
"R-Raven? I thought you were going to fight Eve...I could've taken Aisha on by myself."
"Sorry, but I think that you would've failed. After all, you have a soft spot for her."
"W-What?"
I looked pitifully at Aisha and carried her on my back. I heard her slight protests while she was unconscious. We followed Raven who carried an unconscious Rena and a Chung who carried a beaten up Eve.
