The next day...
? Person
Everyone up. "Alright, well there is one negative and no positive. That being Wally has caught them again. We're going to need to help them." Chung yelled. I stood in the shadows listening to the conversation. "Ara has suspected it must be in the Dragon's Nest being it the only place a dragon be. Then it's least expected that they are to hide them there. Also it is unbearably hot making it a more likely target." Everyone nodded. "Alright, get some food and let's head out!
I stood up and vanished into the shadows watching each of them. When they finally left. I went to the city. I waited for them. After half an hour had past I had noticed them. "Good evening." spooked by my sudden appearance they backed up. "Fret not, I am Glave, I am the keeper of Henir's Space and Time. I can revert you to specific places provided you gain, a key. I give to you a quest." I took out a parchment. "This papyrus will allow you to see my keys. Return to me with six of them each of you. And I will allow you to fight every single boss. Provided you pass. After the third your granted access to a special place I've created you may rest and energize yourself. At that time you may quit. Leaving but not through that path results a simliar fate to exiting an incomplete dungeon. However you are gaining no ED or anything you've gained if you are to quit like that. Also don't try to 'level' up and learn a new skill for it is most likely you shall fail before that occurs." I bid them goodbye and turned to my father in the time no man but my family can go to.
"Father," I said to the old man in a rocking chair. "I've been looking for people who have the spirit to take on the dungeon."
"Very well. But son remember, they cannot leave forever. If so then a gate of hell will be unleashed. For on the time they have defeated Bertha, the beasts death will be surfice enough to create a black dark abyss that leads 15 waves of furocious beasts that unlock for one hour, twice a day."
"Yes father." I sat down hoping that doesn't result. The last time it did, they we're lucky to have made it out, taking permanent damage...
Eve's POV (Too lazy to center but not lazy to put a note XD ? confusion just got a whole new level)
I held onto Raven, "I, I was really scared." I stuttered to him.
"Eve, every time I look at you, your always so happy. But there are times like now, I regret teaching you of sadness."
"B-but. Rave! D,don't say that. I'm glad I learned those emotions better or worse I understand you and I feel better." I said gradually getting quieter.
He nodded, "There's something on your mind isn't there?" I nodded. He thought it over. "It's about what I said yesterday. Isn't it."
"I, I just don't no, I can't live without you." I cried into his gauze that really wasn't needed anymore, his cuts became scars. "You promised but when you sleep after a battle that made you tired. I, I just can't help it."
His eyes looked at me very content. "Eve, I've promised I won't leave you but there is another reason." I nodded. "If you don't want to talk about it, it's..." I quieted him.
"It's um, I've wanted to say this for a few days now. B,but the words never were placed together correctly." He looked and smiled at me. "Rave?" He smiled at me closing his eyes. "I,if it's not too much trouble. After all this, the war of Nasods and humans is over. When that idiot, the Nasod King is shut down..."
"Yes Eve?" His voice very happy.
"if it's not to much trouble c,can you and I... take over the nasods and get them back on the right place?" He smiled more.
Nodding he took my hand. "Eve, your the greatest person ever. I'll certainly be there for you." I smiled and mentally screamed YAY! "Isn't someone happy?" I nodded and dozed off. "Eve?" My eyes dropped and I fell onto his chest. "Someone's tired." I yawned while he put me on our bed. "Get rest. If Wally shows up again, he'll have to deal with me. My anger is at it's limit but I can keep it in control as long as nobody lays a finger on your silvery hair." I blushed and fell asleep.
Raven's POV
Just what on Elrios is going on. I remember falling asleep yesterday with Eve... then I wake up to find a totally different Eve and that my nasod queen is in another room like ours. But wither her own counterpart me, in which she burned.
Eve tensed a bit as she slept, her silver hair falling past her waist. I blushed just thinking. Her request? "Be the next king Eve?" I heard her grunt sleepily. But I still smiled at her. "sure Eve. I can manage that, anything for my future queen." I sat next to her, alert. But that got me thinking, "A mind link? How is it that we we're able to talk, er hear each other?" I looked at her, a solid unemotional face. Just like the first few days we meet each other. But quickly it's as if she knew I saw her and she smiled lazily in her sleep.
"Alright, ExFire. Do you have the explanation?" I twisted my arm hoping for there to be something that connected Eve and I. "And I'm talking to a nasod arm... Where the hell am I?" I closed my eyes in hopes the answer would come to us. "Your not alone here dear." Instantly I shot my eyes out. "Had I dreamt that? No, I was resting my eyes for only a mere moment." I smiled looking at Eve, her silvery hair just lying next to her. "Sleep well Eve, I need to try something." Getting up and began looking around.
Just where am I? But after that thought a scent so unruly entered my nose and I fell asleep next to Eve...
Els's POV
"Els if you don't get down here right this instant!" Aisha yelled but I quickly sheathed out my Cornwell and picked her up. "If your gonna do that atleast say it not scare me half to death!" I nodded a bit sad. "I-I'm sorry," she turned away and I put her down. "Chung, Rena, Ara," she said meekly. "Let's go." I helped her get the pace going.
"Aisha come on, I regret the last time they got caught. Now they're caught and because we couldn't get that oversized scrap metal poor excuse for a perfect Nasod like our friends!" Everyone quickly ran next to me. "Alright ready?" Everyone nodded. "Raven, Eve we're going to find you one way or another."
Quickly arriving in Bethma I talked to Stella. "Hey," the Chief looked at me. "Stella, our friends Raven and Eve are missing." Her face clearly showed disgust.
"While I thank you and them for retrieving our water there still are attacks it is those Nasods that bring us down!" Fury in my eye she continued. "If your robotic friends are truly gone then for that, I have no reason to comply. Although they helped us there still remain the mines that are under their control. Not to mention the only ship that can leave this heat stroke to happen rock!"
"Alright!" Chung snapped. "You can say anything you want but that's not their faults. You said it yourself they helped you. How many Nasods have done that?! Sure Raven went on a spree of death once, and Eve may have been the ruler of long ago but times have changed! Humans and Nasods have been living in this threshold and not a single one of us have actually harmed each other. Stella if I blamed a thing it's your attitude. Perhaps we can decline our help until you accept that they have changed. Els let's find a real friend that can help." I nodded.
"Fine then." Stella muttered and returned to her home.
I looked over to the blacksmith, Toma he can certainly understand. "Toma!" Rena called. "Toma have you seen anything suspicious lately?" He shook his head. "If you do can you find us? Raven and Eve are missing because of Wally."
"Wait are you telling me, that a Nasod captured two far more experience nasods?" Ara nodded. "Strange."
"They we're asleep."
"Okay that explains it."
"I'm sorry but I'll try to help as much as I can." Toma smiled and we left.
Endlessly we waited for the perfect time to strike. An hour passed I got some snacks and drinks for the way. Rena kept everyone stable, Aisha came with me clearly expecting we'd run out of ED. I smiled and got back. "Ready?" Everyone nodded. "Then time to get to Richie Mines." All five of us ran to the dungeon entrance. "Alright, Wally if you think you can get away with our friends again then you better prepare cause we are better than ever!" Everyone smiled.
"Alright let's go!"
"Crescent cut! Chain Burst! Spinning KICK! Dual Buster!" And we rush in yelling our attacks. "Why do we yell our attacks again?" I ask.
"Because it's different. And that we need more strength to actually get to use it." Chung pointed out. I nodded. But what I found inside shocked me. "They weren't kidding."
"The miners, are nasods, and they are working for the other side." Ara pointed out. "Look, they have drillers, minecart pushers, miners, healers, and all, out to get us." I gulped this is one tough battle, but nothing out of the ordinary. I kissed Aisha and ran inside.
Aisha giggled but frowned at my next action. "Els slowdown! I don't want you to be caught next." But I didn't want to, I planned on it actually. Aisha had her plan work out though. I did get to the other end and started rapidly attacking them.
"This, is for being on the wrong side!" I yelled destroying a miner, "This is for taking my friends!" I sliced a cart pusher. "And this is because I ran out of ideas to blame you guys on!" I shredded the remaining driller.
"Because you ran out of ideas?" Chung raised a brow and Rena smiled. I rubbed the back of my head embarrassed.
Aisha clapped her hands. "Hello? Nasod friends missing, Wally's in the next room remember?!" Everyone nodded and busted the door down. We saw something strange though Eve and Raven! "Hey guys!" They didn't take their gaze off of each other. "Um guys?"
"Excuse me?" A bit of green eyes looked at us from Eve! "Who the hell are you?"
I whispered to the gang, "Take them out. Eve has blue eyes. That imposter has green."
"What if it is? Think about it our hair dramatically changed too why wouldn't our eyes after all they've been in their rooms or had their eyes closed or locked onto each other. We have no clue and Wally might have knocked out any remaining sense they had and just focused on each other. They say love conquers all." Ara stated.
I sat down and thought about it. "If this really is the Raven we know, we know his skill is a charged bolt where pieces of black scrap metal circle him and create sharp spears and Eve's is Particle Ray a blue laser beam unless she enhanced it with that skill she wanted to learn."
"Good point." Aisha commented. "But how do we get them to use their skills?"
"Then we knock them out and bring them home, if they have no recollection there is no need to worry about that just getting them back." Nobody argued. We only inched forward and the look-a-likes have blocked us from wally. "Um what gives? You realize we are your friends right?" They looked at each other as I finished my sentenced and snickered.
Raven looked at us, blue eyes like Eve's should be, strange. "Friends? The things Eve and I." Well atleast he got her name so how does he address himself? "remember is each other and that we are meant to protect Nasods side by side now back OFF!" I was taken aback everyone followed. "Let's go Eve, these people clearly have something against nasods." Eve nodded, I think who the hell are these people?
Aisha's POV
Something's off, Eve and Raven couldn't lose their memory, could they? "Raven!" he turned around. "Don't you recognize us? We used to be your friends, come on. You have to recognize Els atleast! He is after all the guy who saved you from well yourself."
He scoffed, how dare he! I began walking but Eve held her arm out. "I don't care who the freaking Elrios you are. But nobody ever get's to threaten my Rave-y." I mentally gagged. "and if you dare walk a nano-meter closer, I will not hesitate to fry your face off of this mine." I gave up and turned around.
"Aisha!" Els screamed. "You can't give up, look they may not recognize any of us but they might recognize actions. Come on maybe if we defeat Wally they'll return to normal." I sighed, I'm a magician of fire and ice. I'm a genius but Els? Well he's something else he never gave up when even the smallest shot at hope simply fades out of his reach. "I have found parts of the keys, all six actually. I just need to know if everyone else does."
"I have five, seven, four, eight." each of us replied and handed each other some. "six now." I smiled great that's nice.
"Get out of our sights!" Raven yelled not hesitating to send out a spike out of the ground startling us all. "I'll give you three seconds until we kill you." I gulped, k-kill? Raven's done this before, the nasod chip prevented him attacking anything nasod related. But humans, mages, elves, anything that is not even partially nasod will certainly stand no chance against him. He's caused a lot of pain before, but this time it's his own will. "Three..." I tensed and looked at Els.
A reassuring smile. 'I have to do this.' "Two..." Els bobbed his head down.
"NOW!" HE screamed and we charged at Wally. "Let's go!" He yanked out his conwell and threw it at Eve.
Raven quickly took the line of sight however and got caught. He intentionally did however attacking Els the moment the conwell left him. Howling in pain I winced who wouldn't? I just saw my boyfriends arm nearly ripped right off by my friend I think. But I didn't choose to just stand there. I attacked the ground and a small rumble of fire appeared burning Raven a bit but not big enough for Els to even be touched by it. I grabbed Els and teleported out of that.
"Thanks Aisha." I smiled and got back to him taking him high up onto the rails and leaving him there. I focused onto Eve who aimed a million lasers, but what I did notice was that Moby and Remy, her robo-androids weren't with her. Somethings up but I couldn't hesitate and used time stop. "Alright get to Wally while they're frozen!" Everyone attacked him and destroyed him but the moment we did all of us got a sight of blue.
"PARTICLE RAY!" Eve screamed frying us. "You may have defeated him, but we are a different story!" Everyone looked at each other gravely, Wally didn't get to them, they lost their memory like they said, everything but each other. "Look while we are neutral." Great, they also think they have no side. Doesn't Eve remember her goal to get her Nasods back? What about Raven to help us fix what he did wrong. Thats when it hit me! Duh why not remind them their reasons.
"Hey!" They looked at me. "Eve, do you remember your reason to be even here in the first place." I yelled.
"Ofcourse I do!" I smiled. "I'm here to stay with Ravey of course and he's with me. Kind of obvious if you ask me, oh wait you did." I stuck my tongue out. "Do you dare treat us like that?! Particle ray!" Another blue flash but I dodged it, barely.
Els tried his Harsh Chaser but Raven thought otherwise. He smirked as he once again took the hit, "Charged Bolt!" As Raven was dragged in he unleashed his black sphere of spikes. Els grimaced pain going through him, a single poke from that sharp spike can cause us little damage to us actually, yet the pain is next to unbearable being impaled with several makes you wonder how to survive.
Raven's POV
Oh my gosh your about to find out what's really happening! (*coughnotyetcough*)
I woke up, coughing vigorously. I couldn't remember anything, but then, a flash happened in my mind. A girl, glowing silver hair. I tried to get up, but too much energy had left me to actually move very well. But another memory appeared in my mind. I was sitting next to the crying haired girl. I growled, who'd upset a spectacular beauty? Then me and the girl laid in the bed holding each others hand. Next her behind holding me and I laughed. I can't recall laughing at all.
The next is the form of me now. But the girl, had also changed longer hair and even more lovely looks. Enough to make me smile. Within that memory, had a bad moment, the girl and I had a problem very clearly. The girl kept holding onto me, crying and yelling at me. I appeared to be calming her down but every now and then the girl breaks down. The final memory had two distinct meanings to me. One, I loved her, I had kissed her for the day and two fellow android-like items followed the girl and appeared to serve her. The other, her name, 'Eve, Another Code' That had been enough for me.
I heard something shifting, it was her! I looked at her, and quietly got up from the bed. Eve turned, "Hello, Raven." I smiled, that's probably my name. "Um, I don't exactly remember anything, but I believe it was, we were, in love with each other?"
"That's what I remember. Well, what my memory tells me. Eve is it?"
"I don't know but I remember your name so probably. Then again I can't remember much just you, there was something that appeared but was blurred. It looked like it liked the color purple, There was a white,black and blue blur. Another green and yellow, and finally a red one." I nodded strange.
"I recall something like that, it appeared to make you upset." Eve nodded, well we don't know our names. "I don't know if that is certainly your name, but I'll call you Eve." Eve nodded.
I heard her hum. "Then, from my memory, I'll call you Ravey since I think we are dating." I nodded, that's a nice nickname. "So... what do we do." She swung her legs off the table she sat on. But a loud booming came out the door. I became startled, and Eve ran to me scared. "S-should we check it?" I pondered.
"I'll check it you stay here." Eve nodded and I looked at the door, reluctantly I opened it. I was greeted by a giant brown pile of junk. "Oh gross."
But then it stood up. "Hello, I am Wally. I am a nasod much like you girl, and partially you sir." Eve tensed up scared she hid behind me. "Do not fret, I am here to let you out." I don't know who the hell he is or what a nasod is. But I nodded and Eve followed, I held her hand to keep her safe. I remembered something than. 'Eve, I promise not to die for you.' The thought kept me thinking, I should protect her.
"There is no need to be protective Raven. I overheard your conversation and thought you deserved more information." The mechanical voice stated. "If you decide to be protective so be it, but I am merely going to tell you, I am here to protect you aswell." I don't trust that thing, something reeked and it startled me. "Raven." I looked at it and glared, but remembered it's a nasod and appeared to have a robotic eye, red like a laser. "Say 'Charged Bolt' while ripping the air with your arm curved slightly inwards." I nodded. "Eve stand back." Eve moved far enough as I yelled.
"CHARGED BOLT!" I yanked at the air. Not a moment did I yell CH- a black metallic armour like plating. Turned into a sphere the further I dragged into the air. Next spikes, large and sharp. Clearly deadly. Glad that Eve moved, Wally gave another command to Eve.
"Eve, you next. Say Particle Ray. Aim your arm at that rock." Eve nodded and pointed her fist at a rock. "open your hand so the palm is facing the same direction you point."
"PARTICLE RAY!" A blue beam exited her arm. I smiled. "T-this is really weird." But not a moment too soon the door that had been on the otherside, had been banged.
"Eve, Raven there are things out there that are going to try to destroy me, I may be dismantled and they'll try to take you. Don't let that happen." Eve and I nodded fearing what could happen.
TIME SKIP! Actually it's not really a time skip since I actually went back in time but right after I switched POV to Raven again
"Leave us alone." I growled. "We've told you everything you can leave or risk destruction."
But that blonde haired boy begged to differ. "Then how about ACELDEMA!" He shot his cannon at the sky and a dozen rockets attacked us. I saw Eve, arms stretched out. Shriek in pain. Then she fell, I blacked out next...
Rena's POV
"Oh my gosh! Chung you idiot why did you do that!" I whacked him.
He rubbed the back of his head. "Well that was plan B. Wasn't it?" He argued.
"Yeah! After they..." I yelled but he stopped me.
"After they let their guard down. Besides they couldn't dodge it they told us they lost their memory of everything but each other." Feeling bad, Chung got them both, and helped them on their feet. The arm remained gray, but the skill he had used definitely was Raven even if his eyes differ. Eve is the same.
"If they really are them." I insisted. "How do you explain his arm, and their eyes?"
Aisha shrugged. "Maybe," Els insisted. "Maybe they are, just the job change." Ara shook her head. "Why would that be old friend."
"First, I am not old! Gosh, four years older and I'm old?! I'm not even a technical adult yet! Second I live in a freaking village that guards the seal of gods. I have to be very observant. Raven's eyes was golden orange and arm black. Eve's eyes are supposed to be cerulean blue." I nodded made sense. Eyes don't just change, hair thats fine but eyes? That's like, rippi- um you don't need to know that...
"Hey!" Els yelled. "Hurry, let's get them to their room. Maybe if they wake up in a familiar scenery, they'll snap back."
I shrugged. "It's worth a shot." we ran carrying the two possiblities with us. I heard grunting as we just entered our house. "CRAP!" I yelled.
"Aisha quick!" she nodded.
"BINDING CIRCLE!" Each of us covered our ears. A trick to stop that from us getting caught. Aisha quickly ran up with them. "Alright. Let's find out what these keys can do. Maybe Raven and Eve are at that place over there." I nodded, if there truly is another one maybe we can find them there. But then something stopped me.
"Guys, what if this is really them? Maybe they'd be mad if we left them. We should stay and try and see if they could remember, what if they run out and leave us?" Everyone thought it over Chung put his hands on my shoulders.
"Your right, let's act like we normally would an they might snap back at it."
Eve's POV
I woke up remembering what just happened. Aceldema, that darn attack. I got up next to Rave and tried to wake him up. "Ravey," I cooed. "Ravey, wake up." I smiled hearing him get up. I kissed his head. I may have lost a majority of my memory, but then again, I remembered enough to find him. "Good your awake."
"Hmm, I feel like I should b doing something." He poked his forehead. "Oh, I think something's telling me to ask what you want to eat." I felt something poke around my memory.
"Can I get waffles with syrup, strawberries and some extra sugar?" He nodded. "Memories are weird." He nodded.
I poked around the corner, it's those dang idiots! I stormed right back up the stairs. "I can't believe we're at their house!" I screamed. "The weird part being, I recognize this place. Hey Ravey, this looks like our place back at the where ever we were." Raven followed just as freaking pissed as I was. "First they demand us, next they threaten us now they've kidnapped us?!"
"First it's asking for memory, then an assault, and they've taken us to a copy house?!" He screeched. "That's it I'm talking to them." I followed, I mean have you ever seen him pissed like that? The tensions thick enough to kill. I snickered at the thought, they should have never messed with us. When we said to leave us alone, we mean it. Besides, who the hell kidnaps a girl that can shoot lasers, and a guy who can break down a wall with a punch?
I strutted next to him holding his arm, the one like us together. "Alright we want answers!" I yelled at them.
"Hey Eve, Raven, I see your awake." The blonde girl smiled. I simply scowled.
Raven stood up, "You better listen good because we don't freaking care right now but answers. You better tell us why the hell have you decided to badger, attack, and take us. And what's up with this stupid copy house we had back where we were!" They all looked surprised.
"Easy." A purple haired girl said. I instantly hated her, she looked roughly like the blur. "Your Eve and Raven our friends! You were taken by Wally, there 's a freaking hole in your wall! Not to mention that you lost your memory don't you remember us?"
"Hey Rave, maybe they're the blur I saw. The ones I can't remember?" He nodded.
"Then let's leave." He motioned and I followed but that girl stopped me.
"Just where do you think your going?"
"LEAVING!" I yelled. "If there is anything I remember you we're the one that made me cry for so long!" Everyone except Rave looked at me. "I remember that at most and you've proved your definitely no heroine. You people have just threatened an interrogation, tried to beat us, and took us from home!"
The red headed boy scoffed. "I know you remember, you just need the right things to spark that memory." I rolled my eyes. "You won't believe it but your true goals probably can get that memory jolt."
"I'll believe that when... when I actually can believe something as idiotic as that. Much like your existence how pointless." I laughed and took Raven's hand.
"Eve, your here to stop the Nasod King from getting too many Nasods on the wrong side." I stopped and trembled, N-nasod, K-king? That's very familiar, then Raven took my hand and I tried to shake it off, but it felt like I am missing more information. "Oh and Raven, your here to make everything right you know don't you? I mean you killed half a city and tried to make everyone forgive you." Rave stopped. He looked at nothing but shook it of, somethings wrong.
We still left and took path to a forested area. I smiled a memory came up, slowly I'll piece this together. One way or another.
That's it for now. I've been thinking, while I write this. I have other things going on in my Doc Manager, I wanted to add, another story just like, a couple 1000 words every chapter just like, for you to wait shorter times. I've been thinking of a (over used? My story has been pretty original so far. Do you think I can't add a twist you couldn't expect?) high school themed. However this is a special one. They are exactly what they are except for Eve, she'll be a nasod, yet pretend to be human. Raven got his arm, and blah blah blah. I'm gonna try and I'd like the opinion okay?
