Summon 7 - Magutal Wetlands
"Argh, this is horrible! What's with this crazy humidity!" Tilith curse the weather from the wetlands. The humidity of the place ruining her hair making it frizz up. Tatsumi pray to her telling her to be here, but he hasn't arrived yet. "My hair and clothes all feel sticky and gross!" She added, gagging at the thought of staying with these clothes more time than usual.
"Ah! Tatsumi... You made it!" She exclaimed in happiness. But that happiness faded away as soon as she saw his face. It seems that either he was crying yesterday or that he broke something in anger.
"Yeah... Good to see you too Tilith" Tatsumi said, emotionless. Tilith cringed at the sound of his voice. Before, his voice had at least excitement in it for battling someone else... But now, not even the simplest of emotion were felt in his voice. It seemed like he closed himself from everyone.
"Are... Are you alright" Tatsumi looked at her worried face. Her eyes looked at him pleading for him to tell her his problem.
"I'm fine..." He sighed, remembering the events that happened the day before. "It's just that someone reminded me of my past... the hard way" Tilith looked at him with a bit of sorrow shown in her face. She really wanted to help him. Although he was supposed to be in perfect condition for his awaiting confrontations, she really cared for him.
"C-Can you tell me?" She blurted out, making Tatsumi widen eyes as he looked at her.
"Huh..." He couldn't even think of anything to say after the sudden question. He really didn't expect that the goddess ask him about his well being.
"I-I mean" She stuttered out. "I heard that talking about it help..." She added stuttering, even if it was a bit. She saw the emotionless face of one of the chosen ones by Lucius.
"But if you don't want to talk about-"
"Alright..." Tilith looked at him in shock. She didn't think that he would accept her idea that easily. To hear him just accept it that fast, comparing it to how he looks... It amazed her. "I'll tell you... my story" Tatsumi added, thinking that if he relieved himself from the guilt, he could feel better.
"I was an orphan... Never knowing my mother or father. I was raised in a village to the north of the Empire. I was raised in the local orphanage until I was old enough to leave and made friends with Sayo and Ieyasu, my two best friends." He said as he also told her about the recognition he got in the village.
"Me and my two friend went on a journey towards the Empire to get jobs to help our village. But we were attacked by bandits and I got separated from them. I later arrived at the capital, in which I encountered an Earth Dragon" He then explained the danger beasts and everything that happened that day. From meeting Leone, to getting robbed by her, and to being picked up by Aria.
"Only a day pass when a group of assassins called Night Raid showed up at the mansion. That was the day... That I found the truth" He told her about the storage room filled with bodies, including his two childhood friends.
He also told her about the many things that he did:
Killing Ogre.
Killing Iokal.
Killing Zanku.
Killing a gang of men selling drugs.
Finding out the Shele died.
Killing the Kobores Brothers.
Killing the Three Beasts and seeing Bulat's death.
Winning a tournament and being kidnaped by Esdeath.
Him escaping from Wave.
Killing Dr. Stylish and his minions, and getting two new members to the team in Susanoo and Chelsea.
Getting trapped in an unknown island with Esdeath.
Killing Kurome's puppets.
Finding Chelsea dead.
Saving Mine.
Killing Wild Hunt.
Getting Mine as his girlfriend.
Getting poisoned by some wires in Incursio's hilt.
Getting the notice that his girlfriend is pregnant.
Attacking the Empire and...
He finally transforming into a dragon and dying.
Tilith couldn't believe the many things that he had to go through. Tatsumi had suffered from day one! Not having parents was something the fear. Never feeling the love of a mother of the compassion of a father, could be stressful for a kid.
"I'm sorry..." She looked down. Ashamed to even call herself a goddess. Gods in general are supposed to help humanity in anyway possible without interfering with them. Letting a child grow without parents... It broke her heart.
"It's alright..." Tatsumi said, letting tear out of his eyes. "I just want to see my daughter someday..." Tatsumi looked at the thundering sky in hope. Hope to one day be able to reunite with her.
"I'll wait for you at the ruins beyond the wetlands... Alright?" Seeing him nod, she turned around to leave, but not before looking at him with an 'I'm sorry' kind of look and vanished.
He just stared right there where she was, thinking if he should summon his units or not. He didn't want to take his anger on them, but he could use the help. He ponder for a while before deciding to not summon them. Being alone for awhile would do him good.
He walked. Trying to find monsters to get his mind out of the gutter and when he finally saw a group of yellow slimes... He let everything loose.
Activating his Teigu, the active form of Incursio covered his body entirely in smoke, before replacing it with his armor. With Neutone in hand, he moved his auxiliary weapon with grace cutting through every slime in the area 'till there were none slime alive.
The cores were shattered into oblivion, in which only dust remained in their place. Yellow globs from the slime were around the dust unmoving as it later disappeared form the area.
Tatsumi, still clad in his armor and after making Neutone fade away, ventured even further with a light walk, enjoying the wetlands that he walked through to get to his goal. He came to a stop when he saw a horde of harpies surrounding a dancer.
The dancer made some move in which made her glow yellow for a bit, before the glow ended and the glow went towards the harpies, making them faster. But for Tatsumi... It wasn't enough.
Making himself faster than the harpies, he slashed them like nothing with the claws that his armor produced. Feathers fell to the floor as each harpy fell to their doom. The dancer stopped her dancing, realizing that before she hit the floor... She was already dead, beheaded by the claws of the Teigu.
Tatsumi looked briefly at his hands, covered in crimson blood when he remembered the first day he killed someone to help another. He didn't ponder on it to much, realizing that he must advance further into the wetlands.
After walking further down the wetlands, he could se that the rain got harder and lighting was cracking the rocks that resided in the wetlands, but none were in his area. Soon after, a shadow covered him. He quickly prepared himself, but couldn't see anyone around him, but went he looked towards the sky he saw a flying boat filled with pirates.
Realizing that they were his enemies, his adapting armor produced his wings, making him able to fly. At top speed, he arrived to the boat in less that a second. An after image left on the ground as it disappeared seconds later.
The pirates shot at him, but what went out of the gun's barrel was lighting instead of the bullet. As the lighting was close to him to crisp Tatsumi to ashes, the lighting collided with his armored arm making the lighting course through his body without a harm. The lighting bullet were kept being fired although not doing anything towards the armored-winged Tatsumi.
Tatsumi propelled himself towards the pirates using his claws and talons that his armor had made for his in his latest adaptation. Blood was spilled in the entire deck, when he felt a kick against his armored figure with a clang. Although no damage was done, he could still feel the hit from the kick.
He turned around to see the captain, who was glaring at him. Tatsumi sighed before he disappear. The pirate captain widen his eyes, feeling blood from his mouth. The captain momentarily looked down and saw the armored man with his claws in his heart. Tatsumi crushed the heart as he watch the pirate fall down to his doom.
Tatsumi looked everywhere in the ship, noticing that the dead bodies already disappeared since they were summoned by the Goddess of Creation. The ship began to shake as if falling and Tatsumi jumped out of the ship proceeding to walk away, ignoring the explosion that the ship created when it touched the ground.
And he didn't have to move for long until he saw someone waiting for him. A silver haired man looked at him with an annoyed looked on his face. Tatsumi didn't showed any kind of emotion on his face, but on the inside he was still angry.
Tatsumi vanished from sight leaving the man there doing nothing. The man's analytic mind knew one thing... He couldn't win against this man. Feeling his body tremble at the sight of his incoming death, the man could only mumble his name.
"Weiss..." The silver man mumbled out as he fell to the ground, dead... Before disappearing in a flash like the rest of his previous enemies.
Smoke covered Tatsumi once more as his active Teigu returned to it's inactive form. Sheathing his sword, Tatsumi looked at where Weiss fell dead before feeling something familiar. He was getting a new unit...
Tatsumi gasped as a green spiritual orb got out of him and materialized into a woman. A light blue haired woman with light blue eyes appeared in front of him.
"I am Eriana, the princess and shrine maiden for all sea fauna. I will gladly aid you, if it serves to protect the seas" The woman said before giving a small smile.
Tatsumi nodded and Eriana frowned at him. Why the look?
"Why you look so down?" She ask in a motherly tone. He was compelled to talk, but managed to not divulge her anything that may bring her curiosity.
"Nothing... Just reminiscing about all the things I've done"
"And what have you done?" His eyes twitched a little. She really wanted to help him, but couldn't she understand that he wanted to be alone?
"Many things... Things that I regret and things that I don't. For now... I just want to be alone" She looked at him for a while before begrudgingly nodding and fading away.
The look she gave him was of a mother looking at her child in disappointment. Maybe he reminded her of a son? He just knew that she will be asking more and more question to 'help' him. He sighed preparing himself to the unwanted questions that will come from the woman who is his newest unit.
Tatsumi made a little prayer for Tilith, telling her that he would rest before going towards the remains of the cathedral. And made himself way towards his house were he kept pondering all night about his life. Unknown to him that his units were able to see his past when he thought of it.
A/N: I KNOW... WHEN SAYING TATSUMI'S ACHIEVMENT AND/OR EXPERIENCES, I MAY HAVE NULLED SOME OF THEM. I'M NOT GOING TO READ TATSUMI'S WIKI TO LOOK FOR THEM...
