On to the story~
No One's POV
Akira tackled the other him into a hug. "I missed you, bro!" he exclaimed cheerfully.
"Ouw! Get off me!" 'Akira' yelled in annoyance. "He he... Sorry..."
Akira stepped away from 'Akira' while 'Akira' dusted himself off as he muttered something unheard.
Elysea shook her head. "Seriously, Akira... You act like you guys just met after 10 years." Said person grinned at her. "Awww~ Is El-chan jelly? I could give you a hug if you want!" She glared. "NO." "Tsundere~" "SHUTTAP!"
"So... You guys twins or something?" Elsword asked, which he answered with a nod. "He's Kagero! My older twin brother!" Akira exclaimed cheerfully.
"Hmmmm... Makes sense... Considering that Akira is the childish one of the two." Veteran commented, nodding to himself. The Shadow Walker pouted. "You're not insulting me, are you?" "..." "MEANIE."
3 suddenly appeared.(?)
"VETE-CHAN IS A MEANIE, MEANIE~ A MEANIE, MEANIE, MEANIEEE~ VETE-CHAN IS AAAA MEAAAANIEEEEE~" she sang merrily, dancing around the Elgang before disappearing after doing so. (?)
Veteran made a mental note to beat up 3 the next time she appeared. (3: NO CAN DOOOO~ XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD #slapped XwX)
Hooded person 4(?) whispered to his/her friend, "Say, I think we're forgotten." "I agree." The other one said.
Their leader crossed his/her arms. "... Hmph. Since he's already here, we're too late. Mission failed."
His/Her friends gasped. "A-Are you serious..?" The hooded person beside him/her asked. "I'm serious. Our mission failed. We don't have anything to do here anymore. Let's leave." He/Her walked towards the exit. "But what about...!" One of them panicked.
The leader glanced towards Akira, Elysea, Kagero, and 'Elysea' who were talking with the Elgang. "... Let's leave it to them." he/her said.
Before they were able to leave, Akira noticed them. "WAIT!"
They stopped, turning towards them.
"I think I've seen you somewhere before... And... That dagger you're holding...Could you be..?" he asked.
"... I'm telling you just one thing." he/her spoke. The Elgang and the others stared at him. "Don't come back to the village. Both of you." With that, he disappeared along with the others.
Akira and Kagero both widened their eyes in shock. "That's..." Kagero muttered. "Hikaru-nii..." Akira continued.
"Wait a minute, you guys have an older brother too?!" Infinity asked in disbelief.
"But what did he mean by not coming back to the village..?" Elysea muttered. "..."
"Speaking of which, what's your name?" Night asked, looking at 'Elysea'. "Eh..?" "There's no way that your name is Elysea too, right? Even if you look alike... And you're not twins too, are you?" she asked, sweatdropping.
'Elysea' shook her head. "No... We're not twins... Actually, I lost my memories... All I could remember is that my name is Memoria..." She smiled sadly. "Ironic, isn't it? My name is from the word memory, but I don't remember anything except my name..."
"I feel sorry for you..." Elysea muttered. "N-No, don't be. It's alright." she replied with a smile.
Raven scratched his head. "AAAAAH! I DON'T GET IT! Sooo... There are 2 pairs of people who looked the exact same- Well, except a few things cuz they have different job advancements- and their personalities are complete opposites... Akira's freaking cheerful while Kagero is cold, and Elysea's a... tsundere and kuudere as to how Akira put it, while Memoria is timid. ... WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON HERE?!" He yelled due to stress as he headwalled.
It took 15 minutes for the Renas and Ravens to calm Raven in stressed mode down.
"I don't know, but we'll find out!" Akira exclaimed with determination and fire burning in his eyes. "How?" Chase asked.
"The first thing I'd like to find out is why nii-chan told us to not go back to our village, so that's where I'll head to first!"
Kagero raised an eyebrow at him. "You sure, Akira?" "Positive!" his twin replied with a straight face.
The older twin thought of something for a while before massaging his temples. "... I'm seriously not trusting you to go alone, so I'm coming too." "Nope! You'll stay here, Kagero." Akira replied. "What..?"
"Hikaru-nii told BOTH of US not to go back. Sooo... What if only one of us went?" he pointed out. "I see... But I still don't trust you in going alone." Kagero crossed his arms.
"I'm not going to go alone, of course. That would be too lonely." he pouted. "Oh? So who's going with you?"
"Obviously... El-chan!" he cheered happily, hugging the said person. Elysea facepalmed. "How did I guess..?" she muttered. "Fine, but let me visit my village first, alright?" "Kay~"
"So, when are you guys going?" Knight questioned. "Hmmm~ Maybe right about... NOW!" he exclaimed loudly, dashing away as he pulled Elysea along.
They all sweatdropped.
~At the Mystagion Clan's Village~
The two of them arrived at a destroyed village. Trees and moss were already starting to grow in the area. There were also graveyards for the victims of the massacre years ago...
'This place brings me memories...' Elysea thought, looking around. Suddenly, a memory flashed.
*Flashback*
Little Elysea and her parents were walking down the stairs within a strange place. Torches were on the walls to light the way.
"Mommy, where are we going?" Little Elysea asked. Her mother smiled. "We're going to arrive soon, dear. You'll see."
Soon enough, they arrived in a pitch black room. Elysea couldn't tell what's in there, but she felt something strange inside her. "Where are we, mommy, daddy?"
Without giving a reply, her father concentrated before light illuminated the whole room.
The place was huge, probably as huge as an auditorium with nothing in it.
"We're here." Her mother said.
Little Elysea looked around the room and gasped. Just at the end of the room stood a giant statue of a crimson-colored dragon. The dragon looked like it was sitting down with its eyes closed.
"Elysea, do you know what this is?" Her father questioned. "A statue?" she replied innocently. He chuckled. "You're right about that, but what else other than a statue do you think this is?"
She took a moment to think. "The statue of a dragon!" she exclaimed happily.
Her mother gently placed her hand on top of her head, smiling. "Dear, this is the dragon that protected our clan a hundred years ago. This statue is built to remember it. It's also one of the few fire dragons left."
Elysea looked at the dragon statue in awe. "Really?!"
Her father nodded with a smile, but it slowly turned into a frown. "However... Did you hear the news?" he asked.
"What is it, daddy?" She asked, curiosity written on her face.
"Fire dragons are now extinct."
*End Flashback*
"El-chaaaan?" Akira waved his hand in front of her.
Elysea blinked. "Uh, what is it?" she asked. Akira pouted. "You've been daydreaming for around 5 minutes already! Are you sure you're alright?"
"I'm alright, Akira. I just remembered something..." she replied. Akira tilted his head in confusion. "Remember what?" "Just follow me."
Elysea lead them both to the forest and saw a statue of a Miko in their village long time ago. The miko aimed an arrow at a nearby oak tree.
"El-chan? What are we doing here?" Akira asked, confused.
Following her insticts, she followed the arrow's aim and looked carefully at the oak tree.
Akira got more confused. "Is something wrong about the tree?"
After a few minutes of observing, she found a slightly darker colored area of the tree and touched it. At that time, a secret passageway opened behind the statue, looking like stairs.
"Akira, let's go!" she exclaimed at her childhood friend. "Cool! This is like we're ninjas or something!" he commented cheerfully, following her into the passageway. Seconds after they went inside, the passageway closed itself so that no other people could enter.
It was pitch black. Elysea shivered in fear. Sensing that, Akira held her hand encouragingly.
"Oh, great. How are we supposed to know where we're going now?" she muttered.
All of a sudden, a gentle yet loud voice spoke, "Come..."
The torches began to burn, lighting the way.
"El-chan, did you hear that?" Akira asked, looking at her. "I did..."
Carefully, they walked down the stairs and came into the large room. The room was still dark.
Mysteriously, fire appeared pairs by pairs, creating a pathway for them. They followed the path before coming to the dragon statue, strangely still the same as ever.
Akira looked at it in awe. "A dragon statue?" he said.
Elysea walked towards it and touched its head. "It's still the same as before..." she muttered.
Suddenly, the statue's eyes started to open, revealing crimson eyes.
They widened their eyes in shock. "El-chan... Was that supposed to happen..?" he asked. "N-No..."
The eyes started to shine brighter.
"W-What's happening?" Elysea said, terrified. She looked at the dragon, and then at its eyes. All of a sudden, she fainted.
"EL-CHAN!"
The eyes of the dragon shined no more.
~With Elysea~
Elysea was in a place which looked like the outer space. There seemed to be an endless amount of stars around her.
"W-Where am I..?" she muttered.
She was scared. Wait, no, scratch that. She IS scared. And worse, there's no one with her right now. Yup, her worst nightmare has come.
"Do not be afraid, child."
Elysea turned around and saw a crimson-colored dragon. The same as the statue, but this one is living.
"W-Who are you..?" she questioned.
"Don't you remember me? I'm the dragon before. The statue." it explained.
"B-But... They're extinct! And where in the world am I?!" she exclaimed in disbelief.
"This is your dimension, child. The place where your power resides."
"Wait, what?"
"I see you're confused. Well, to make the story short, I'm your power. You do know that each of your clan members have different abilities, don't you?"
She nodded.
"Your father has the power of light and your mother has the power of nature. Am I right?"
"Yes."
"Your power is the power to summon dragons, a rare ability within your clan which only appears each 700 years. And your dragon is not only me as well."
"Not only you?"
"Yes. You have eight in total. Fire, Ice or Water, Nature, Earth, Wind, Light, Dark, Storm. I'm the fire dragon as you may know."
"W-Wait a minute, I need a minute to process all this."
"Don't worry, child. You will understand everything with time."
The dragon closed its eyes and seemed to concentrate. The back of Elysea's left hand glowed in a pattern that looks like a dragon. "Huh?"
Soon the glow stopped, showing a white-colored symbol on her hand.
"Congratulations, child. I bestow you the title of Dragon Master. Now you must leave. A friend of yours is starting to become worried."
'Akira?' she thought.
"Before that, what's your name?" she asked.
"Sanavion. You may call me that if you wish."
"Alright. So... Are you male or female, actually?"
The dragon chuckled. "I'm male."
"Okay. See you soon then, Sanavion." She disappeared.
A few moments later, the dragon muttered to himself. "I hope she could handle the sad truth before her..."
~Back to where the statue was~
"Uh..."
"El-chaaaan!" Akira hugged her. "You're finally awake! I was worried sick, you know?!"
"Sorry..." she apologized. "Don't do things like that ever again!" he crossed his arms and pouted. "I won't. Don't worry." she replied reassuringly.
"By the way, El-chan, what happened to your outfit?" Akira asked, curious. "Huh?"
Like he said, her clothes did change. "Oh. I job advanced." she remembered. "EHHH?"
Elysea looked up at the statue from where they were sitting. The eyes are closed again.
(Random Note: Elsword, where your clothes change when you job advanced. (?))
~Outside, at the forest~
Akira outstretched his arms. "Finaally~ Light~" he cheered.
"We're going to your village next, aren't we?" Elysea asked.
"Oh, right! I just remembered!" Elysea sweatdropped.
"Let's goooooo!"
~At the Kurokage clan's village~
The situation in Akira's village is worse than Elysea's village. There are graveyards for the victims of a massacre, but... there were corpses and blood everywhere.
Elysea closed her mouth with her hands, turning pale.
"W-What happened..?" Akira muttered, his eyes widened in shock. 'Is this what Hikaru-nii meant by that..?'
"H-Help..." "!"
They both ran to where the voice was and found a man who seemed to be a bounty hunter. He was dying. There were slash wounds all over his body, and he could barely move.
"El-chan!" Akira exclaimed, signalling her to heal him. "Okay!"
Elysea concentrated before casting a breeze which healed most of the man's wounds. "I couldn't heal all of them, but at least his life isn't in danger now..." she said.
"Who did this to you?" Akira asked. The man looked terrified. "A-A-A m-monster..."
"A monster?" "It was terifying... I came here with at least a hundred other bounty hunters because we wanted to hunt that monster, but right after we stepped into this village... Everyone was killed... If it weren't for your help, I would too..."
A few moments later, the man left to the nearest town, leaving them alone.
"Akira... Are you sure about this?" Elysea asked. He nodded in reply. "You could go back if you want to, El-chan." "After going all the way here? I say no."
Akira saw a temple at the corner of his eye and pointed at it. "El-chan, let's try going there!" "Okay."
~At the temple~
They entered the temple, sadly, it was pitch black inside.
Elysea got an anime-vein. "What's with all these places we go being pitch black?!"
Akira found a switch and turned it on(?). Blue-colored fire lighted the temple.
"And what's with fire lighting every pitch black place we go?!" Elysea complained again. (?)
"El-chan, look!" Akira pointed at the walls. There were glowing writings in an ancient language.
"What language is this written in?!" Elysea yelled in frustration.
All of a sudden, Akira's eyes turned into blue(?). He was in a trance as if he was a statue.
"Akira?" No response.
"HEY, AKIRA! SNAP OUT OF IT, YOU BAKA!" She yelled, shaking his shoulder in annoyance.
Akira's eyes turned back to silver and he blinked. "Eh? El-chan?"
Elysea crossed her arms. "What happened to you? You were in a trance and your eyes went blue!"
"Um... I don't know... But somehow I could understand the language a few moments ago..." he explained.
Elysea facepalmed. 'Good going, me. I just ruined our chance of finding out what the stupid writing says...'
"So what did you find out before I, uh, turned you back to normal?" she asked.
"Not sure... I only read the first sentence..." he said. "What does it say?"
"A long time ago, there lived a couple inside the forest." he told her innocently.
Elysea facepalmed, again. "Oh, great... A folklore. I don't think we could get you back to that trance again. Let's just leave."
"Okay!"
~Outside~
"Well... This is all the information we got right now. Let's go back to the others and tell them what we found." Elysea said.
"Back to Hamel, then~" Akira cheered.
As they left the forest, a silhouette watched them with a grin.
"Found ya."
