Level of Madness
Chapter 6 : Spandel's choice
Part 1
Insane content
(Internal point of view: Helen)
I feel ... devastated. My Spandel disappeared into the seabed and I could not save it. I feel that my heart is cracking, then I feel a hand coming to rest on my shoulder, then turning, I see that it is Alizé who put his hand on my shoulder, she did not even the smile on your lips
- Well, let's get out of here now! She declares, it surprises us all
- Wait, you're not serious! We have to go save Spandel! He answers Kirron and we all agree except me who stays away
- And how do you go to save him? If you have an idea say it! She asks, crossing her arms with a questioning look
- I think that after cutting a megalodon in front of us, you are perfectly able to go save Spandel is that you want to let him die, for you we are only puppets, so if you do not want to move I will go to your place! Make her understand Kirron, he plays his life there to show himself the leaders with her.
- We'll all be saved! Spandel is our friend and we will never give up! Rochelle intervenes before asking me my opinion, I step back and they are surprised, Rochelle loves Spandel too like all of us, suddenly Alizé bursts out laughing declaring them
- "laugh" And how are you going to save him with the level you have? You are ridiculous, you would be unable to hold more than a minute under water with all megalodons and other creatures, and in the face of the accursed mermaid you would not make weight under the ocean, you would be devouring in a snap of fingers ... (she approaches Kirron and her eyes start to shine) the next time you want to try to play the dominant with me and in a world that would destroy you in less than two, I would make myself a joy to fight to put you back in your place!
- When and where you want! He answers Kirron, and when their eyes meet, I see a gleam shine in their eyes.
- Kirron, Alizé please calm down! This is not the time to fight! Helen what do you think? Jack intervenes.
- Sorry my friends but ... Alizé is right! We can not do anything for now (I caress my soul) but ... I feel that he is still alive and that he is well! We will meet him again later, me as his wife I believe in him and I know he will come back soon! So all we can do is keep moving forward and at the same time we'll look for it! I said to myself, and everyone seems to calm down, except Damian who did not seem to listen to us, he looks on the horizon without stopping as if he heard that it is called, he is very strange at the moment since his eye has turned orange. Then turning to Alizé, I saw him smile at me and then she tells us the way to go, it is a large scale up to the surface.
We climb the ladder, we open the hatch and the daylight comes to light us and fresh air comes invade our lungs, it's so good to finally breathe
- Oh what happiness! Exclaims Jack, collapsing on the side of the pipe, we do the same while Alizé continues to climb and then shows us just above us, a large white stone bridge
- We will go through this bridge to reach the next area, here we will have a little more tranquility! Come on, this is the nap! She tells us, I already have to start climbing on the beams of the bridge to reach the top of the bridge, the fresh wind blows in my white hair but in this wind I feel a familiar smell that gives me a deep discomfort in me . I wish I never have to see him again.
Spandel ... come back soon I beg you!
(Internal point of view: Rochelle)
I feel terribly bad for Helen, I have not managed to save Spandel and now he is worn out, I just hope that Spandel will get by and get back in top form. Suddenly, I see Damian looking on the horizon since just now, and we all noticed
- Damian? Hey, where are you in the moon? I called him by patting him on the head, he jumped slightly and then he said coldly
- There is something come to us!
We have all the eyebrows raised with surprise then we look on the horizon just like him, Kirron comes closer to him then asks
- What do you see Damian? At the tone of his voice we know that he too sees something
- Boat! Said Lucy pointing the ocean and all merry, at least she loves the boats her while her mother hated them, the same for Angel who notices him in turn, then all we distinguish the shape of a strange boat with a torn sail and his creaking wood advancing slowly in the agitated waves, he approaches closer and closer to us until we can see his interior, there is no one inside, just some broken things, mist and human remains
- Good! Who wants to climb in the ghost ship, horror galore and only 10 dollars the entrance! Jack said humorously as one of those guys at the ticket office selling tickets for attractions at carnivals, you can not help but giggle at such a ridiculous thing.
Even Kirron could not help laughing too, I hear him sneer. At the same time the appearance of a ghost ship is so ridiculous that it is impossible not to laugh. Suddenly, I feel another presence outside this ghost ship and who is present on the bridge, it smells like powder but also someone malicious ... There is someone who observes us ...
(Internal point of view: Spandel)
I start to feel a bit of cold on my forehead and leaning on my chest, I finally spit out all the water I had in my lungs, I cough heavily
- Ahhh the sea water is really disgusting! I growled disgusted, spitting out what was left of seawater in my mouth, then I realize that I'm no longer under the ocean but on the surface and on something gigantic that is swimming, there I start having scared when I say I'm on a megalodon, then when I see a big hole in this moving thing in the distance, I went to look, water came out and splashed me and then this thing s 'is set to sing a very beautiful sound, this sound I already heard, I'm on a giant whale. I lean slightly to her and she turns an eye to me
- Is it you who saved me ..? I asked.
- She is happy that you are awake, and me too! Suddenly said a sweet choice as if she caressed my ears, I shiver as I turn and see as a purifying light, a girl about the age of Helen, with beautiful blue eyes, a long white hair like the wings of an angel, a white mermaid's tail decorated by a long necklace of oyster pearls, a bright porcelain complexion and a body with a generous shape and a beautiful doll face. So I'm speechless, I thought that sirens were creatures supposed to be monsters with an enchanting voice, there it exceeds all that I had imagined
- So ... Is it you who saved me from drowning? I asked, stammering slightly
- Yes ! You were lucky that I was going there to get some aquatic minerals, what are you doing here? Does she answer me with a smile?
- Hum ... I'm not from here, I came with my friends in this world so that we find someone very important, unfortunately to see where I am ... I got lost! I explained a little embarrassed of the situation, I see her approaching me by telling me
- Oh I see ... it must be hard for you! It would be rude on my part to ask you more details, maybe on the way you will find your friends, besides I thought I saw them to the big stone bridge there if it was good with them that you were (she tells me the big bridge at the other end of the ocean) but ... I'm afraid it's in a pretty tight situation, I saw that Alizé was with them!
- Alizé ... do you know Alizé? I asked her surprised, the young mermaid raising her eyebrows in surprise
- Here everyone knows Alizé, whether it is the people of the sea or the people of the air. With the Prince of Twilight, they are the most powerful identities of the kingdom. It is on them that we count the most when the kingdom is in danger but me ... Alizé makes me very afraid, there is something that does not go with her! She explains to me, my heart in the center of my chest beats strongly and I feel the traces of the pact I made to Alizé slightly tighten my skin and who is the Prince of the Twilight?
- Please ... Can you help me? (she is surprised) We think that Alizé has a link with the one we are looking for, could you tell me everything you know about Alizé, and in exchange I would do anything! It is important ! I said, grabbing her hands and giving her a pleading look.
I do not even think to ask her her name!
She sighs before looking towards the bridge. I feel her shake my hand, and me who is too shy, withdraws me slightly and back a little
- Okay ! I'm going to help you but on one condition ... (I ask him what) Our kingdom is tyrannized by the accursed siren, and we need someone powerful to eliminate it, our people can not do anything against this thing ... she poisoned my kingdom! I see her in her blue eyes, she is desperate and she cries, I have to help her ... She saved my life, without her I would not be there, and even if I could resuscitate twice as Alizé explained, what would happen to me? And ... I do not like to see such beauty being ruined with tears, and then, as Alizé said, every one of us will have to face a boss sometime, and now ... That's my turn !
- What happens to you ? Why are you so thoughtful suddenly? Is everything alright ? She asks me worried.
- Oh nothing ... I have a debt to you for saving my life ... But I would be very honored to know the name of the mermaid who saved me ...! My name is ... (blushes with shyness) Spandel Phillips!
I see her smiling at me radiantly, blushing
- Nice to meet you Spandel Phillips! My name is Angèle Ayame, it's an honor! I smile at her turn, she's so nice, suddenly she starts to think and I ask her what's wrong
- Well, it's nice to have to agree to help me but ... The ruins where the accursed siren land is under water, and after what happened, I already know that you can not breathe under the water but ... I think I have an idea! Could you bring me closer to me? She asks me stretching out my arms, I blush a lot and approach me, she comes to put her soft hands on my head and feels a gentle energy invade my brain.
I have the impression that I am massaging the skull it is very nice then all of a sudden I feel new knowledge enter me, then when it was finished I look at my hands feeling strange
- What did you do to me ? I asked her surprised, she patted me on the head
- I transmitted to you a magic allowing you to breathe under the water like me, it's the only thing that I can do and do not worry, it's not temporary, you'll have this gift for life!
I am very touched that she gave me such a gift, I blush a lot. She allows me to take my hand and she plunges me into the ocean with her, the seabed is impressive and breathing under the water is such a relief, as if the sea was holding me in its bars and guided me.
Further, I see another underwater city but surrounded by a purple haze, I see Angèle looked with sadness. It's certainly her house there, and following this haze of the eye, it comes from the big hole where we are heading me and Angela, we exchange a look of confidence and we take a deep breath before diving into this gaping hole fills with foul fog ...
Helen ... wait for me!
But when I plunged to the bottom of this hole, I forgot to look at who belonged to the dark presence watching me in the distance, even under the water ... Praying that it was not my uncle.
(Internal point of view: Rochelle)
A smell of powder becomes more present on this bridge, it is unpleasant to the smell and it stings a little eyes, we also feel that the water is agitated below us, because it strikes the beams of the bridge strong enough to to make him tremble, suddenly I see a tall geyser rise above the bridge and there is someone on it, a girl with a long blue hair combed to form a long braid falling down her back, a blue cloth covering her chest, with a long transparent blue skirt, a silver trident in his hand, as well as two revolvers at his belt, then blue vase eyes point to us with a mischievous smile. She is beautiful. But I'm suspicious of her because her eyes are riveted as Alizé and especially ... on Jack !
- That's so ... I must believe that I hit the jackpot! I knew you would come here ... Alizé!
- And I knew you were there Naru, the desire to see you itch a little too much for my taste! Alizé answers with the same smile.
Oh no ... She's going to fight again!
Then, looking at them, I see the same red glow in their eyes except that Alizé's eyes have turned yellow like those of a black cat and those of this Naru shine a diabolic blue, she points to one of her revolvers on Alizé by tilting the head
- Do you remember where we stopped? Do not tell me you forgot or I'm going to be sad! She asks sadistically while nibbling her fingernail, I see Alizé holding his chest with one arm and pointing his sword at Naru with a sensual and scary voice
- Oh no I have not forgotten ... I remember I was going to kill you! Do you think you can kill me? Replica Alizé, Naru bursts out laughing and jumps from his geyser to land in front of us, ready to fight. Alizé makes the blade of his sword squeak on the ground, the two combatants look at each other before they are so violent, so strong that a powerful draft of air is formed and almost all push us back.
Jack is quick to protect me by moving away, that's when I see Naru take a distance with Alizé who does not even counter-attack
- And if we made the game interesting? Naru offers, reaching out to Alizé, smiling at the proposal
- And what do you propose? Naru chuckles and then jumps back and suddenly catches Jack by the throat and with the help of a bubble of water that she forms, she traps Jack in with a gauge to time
- We will play for one of your pawns! I gave this human the opportunity to breathe in the water for .. 10 minutes! Once the 10 minutes have passed this poor boy will have only a few seconds before ending up drowning! What do you think Alizé? Do you think you can save your pawn in the time allotted?
Everything seems to have become silent all around me, I do not even hear Alizé respond to his proposal, I have my eyes fixed on Jack who in this water bubble tries to free himself as little by little minutes scroll. My heart in the center of my chest beats very strongly, my head is spinning, a deep anger pervades my mind, I see a red aura begin to appear all around me and see my LM rise on my statistics panel, 64% I went up to 80%
- Release him ... I grumbled at this blue haired bitch, the latter smiling at me and raising his eyebrows in surprise.
- Release my Jack NOW ! I shout before rushing on her.
My daggers come to cross the iron of her trident and my eyes plunges in hers, she smiles amused me
- Interesting ... I did not imagine such a reaction! What do you think Alizé? She asks, looking up, she has strength, I can not make her back, so I turn to Alizé who puts his sword with a smile on his lips.
- When I put you another pawn, if you beat it then I will face you but before, I have my babies to develop, so you do not mind if you start with a warm up with one of them ? I raised my eyebrows in surprise and squeezed the angry teeth, how dare she? She is not my best friend ... Pandora ... if it ever turns out that it's you ... I could never forgive you!
- Let's go young girl! Show me what you have in your stomach! Naru told me pushing me away, a barrier is forming around me and she, we have the whole bridge to fight.
I get up quickly and put in fighting position, I do not know how to do it, but I already feel that I will not let myself fight, my friends call me on the other side telling me not to beat me, but if I do not do anything ... Jack will die! Naru smiles at me and then gets rid of his revolvers, I'm surprised
- As you're a beginner, I'm going to be nice and give you two favors since it's my day of goodness ... I would only fight with my trident against you and besides, I would not use my magic you can be reassured! It suits you ? She asks me by demonstrating her powers by manipulating a trickle of water and bringing it back into her trident
- Do it like you want ... I'll save Jack! I replied, warning me. Naru smiles at me and wavers me forward
- Very good ... enough discussed now ... Approach little girl!
(Internal point of view: Damian)
I feel bad this story, I saw the statistics of this girl : Naru Hime, level 70, 75% of LM and ranked Difficul Boss ! That's what I thought, Rochelle may not be able to cope with this girl unless she shows a lot of determination and fighting spirit, Angel was lucky to have stumbled upon a Easy boss, but Rochelle is not so lucky, then when I turned to Alizé, she smiled at me ... As if she came to tell me something ...: I handle the situation, do not move!
And that red aura that surrounded him and this rise of LM suddenly, Rochelle has the potential to fight I know it but I'm afraid for her. The fight begins, Rochelle attacks first and her shots are powerful, with the first dagger she tries to hit Naru in the face but Naru grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards her before giving him a blow in the ribs, so hard that Rochelle spits blood, but she manages to retaliate by succeeding in slicing Naru's thigh back a few steps, Rochelle forced herself to stand despite the pain she endured, during this coup I saw her PM dropped from 100/100 to 70/100. But the pain is the same, in addition Kirron seems to experience the same pain as her, I see him clench his teeth
- Rochelle ! Stop ! You do not have the level to face it you will be killed! Stop now give up the battle! He shouts Kirron worried, Rochelle.
Then Rochelle started crying in despair
- I can not ... I have to save Jack ... I do not want to lose him! She said before she came to her senses, then I saw cracks forming on her heart, my orange eye is shining, I feel Rochelle's pain, similar to the one I'm feeling, I'm also seeing Jack's strengths wane, there are only 5 minutes left before Jack can not breathe underwater, you have to act quickly. Rochelle returns to the attacking position then kicks in Naru's left hip, she smiles and then as a counter-attack she brandishes her trident and Rochelle hastens to protect herself but unfortunately her two daggers break and the trident slices her thorax, in a scream of pain. Rochelle collapses with a puddle of blood flowing on the stones. Rochelle has only 50/100 of PM.
- Poor girl ... What a pity to spoil so much power to finally be beaten! Is there anything that will move your buttocks because there you make me waste my time that's all! Naru declares, advancing dangerously towards Rochelle, helpless and unarmed, weak she is at the mercy of the adversary. This time I do not think full and go out my sword to try to break the barrier but Alizé grabbed me by the wrist and she gives me a confident wink while pointing Rochelle my finger. That's when Naru pulls Jack out of the water bubble, this one is weak and Naru lets him kiss her.
Rochelle is in shock!
(No point of view)
The heart of Rochelle beats slowly but strongly, she clenches her teeth angrily and stands up as if she no longer feels any pain, her breathing is jerky and it is then that her LM climbs abruptly to 100%, Alizé sketch a delighted smile in front of Rochelle who screams and unleashes incredible power, her two broken daggers turn into two more twin pink daggers, her eyes glow with a pink glow, she loses her cardigan in exchange for a long black glove, and her clothes become a black dress and big black wings of angel. Naru is surprised like all, Rochelle frowns angrily while shouting while forming a sphere of dark magic straight out of her imagination
- Take off your dirty hands from my Jack ! Cry Rochelle furious and launching her attack, Naru hastens to dodge then she whistles impressed
- Well done little darling! Go on (she throws Jack on the floor) show me your power! Naru tell him excitedly.
Rochelle remains locked in her hate then rushes back to Naru waiting impatiently for the attack holding her trident firmly, Rochelle brandishes her two daggers with grace and the offal on the trident of Naru forcefully, the two fighters clash With the look while forcing on their weapons, the problem is that Rochelle's power is unstable and everyone sees Rochelle's heart turn black. Suddenly, Alizé intervenes by putting her hand behind the head of Rochelle which is paralyzed, the marks of Alizé on the body of Rochelle begin to crawl everywhere on his skin and sucking the power of Rochelle, his LM goes down slowly to 64%.
- It's over now ... You worked very well, you were the first of your comrades to reach 100%, but it was still much too early, I'm proud of you! Whispered Alizé in Rochelle caressing a few strands of her hair as she returned to normal, regaining her cardigan, shirt and skirt and losing her wings, yet only her arms remained as she was, closing the powerful powers of Rochelle. Alizé comes to pose Jack and Rochelle farther and side by side before advancing towards Naru
- The warm up is now over ... I hope you enjoyed it, now the serious things will start! But I suggest that we go fight elsewhere so as not to be disturbed, and at least you will not touch my precious pawns! Suggests Alizé with a deep look and a protective tone
- As you wish ! Nods Naru with a smile.
Meanwhile...
Under the sea, Spandel travels with Angèle the bottom of the hole which is actually a real underwater temple, looking for the accursed siren pouring its poison into the heart of the ocean and the city of the sirens. And deep down, the accursed siren sinks under the sand, impatient for her next meal …
And that's all for this first part of chapter six, things get more and more difficult, Spandel will succeed to take the head of the monster cursed oceans and save the mermaid's people ? And what will become of our heroes while Alizé will fight her rival forever? To see in the next chapter, I hope you are impatient. In short, if you liked this chapter, do not hesitate to leave me a comment it will make me very happy, I make you big kisses and tell you very quickly for the next chapter! Kisses
