October 11th Dragon's Smith Underground Laboratory

"Fuck." cursed Zael now in deeper voice before he was slapped in the back of his head by Arturia. "Stop cursing, Zael." scolded Arturia to Zael, "I know the process it's painful, but it doesn't mean that you have to curse." continued Arturia sternly to Zael who only sighed to her decisive nature.

"Yes, dear." said Zael to Arturia who only nodded with a small smile in her face. "Ria, you should head upstair and watch over Sasuke and Fang now." said Zael while checking his armor which was scattered in the floor. "Why?" said Arturia jokingly while inside she'd already known why he's worried to them, Zael only gave her a blank look.

Giggling for her husband attitude, Arturia only replied a quick yes and headed upstair. Grumbling, Zael decided to gather his armor and put his cloths on. After a few minutes, Zael decided to check himself in the mirror which put in the corner of the room.

He was now standing in 5.7 feet show that he now much taller than before. His cloth consist a gray sleeveless shirt, a pair of pants with a matching color. In both of his hand, was a pair of gauntlets with a gray colors and white lines trimmed in its. He also wore a pair of greaves with a same colors with his gauntlets.

His hair was still silvery white and his skin now was still tan but not as tan as before. He now had a pair of mismatching eyes, his left eye was a raven black while his right eye was sky blue with a slitted pupils.

After a few minutes, Zael headed to the armory that was placed near the lab. He went to one of the case that was placed in the center of the room. He could see that the armory had been very messy. It's show that it hadn't been cleaned for a long time.

'Guess, I had to tidied it up later.' thought Zael while observing the damage. Most of the shelf had broke and some of the weapons that had been put in the shelf now scattered in the floor. All of it was covered by dust and there was many spider webs in the ceiling and the shelf. Some of the weapons condition were very bad, 'So many rusts in these place.' think Zael and sighed since there was another job that needed to be finished.

He turn his head back to the weapon case in the center of the room and started to unlock it. Inside it was a sword with a silvery white colored in its blade. It had bright gold hilt and it had three green jewels that positioned in between the blade and the end of it's hilt, near the end of it's hilt, and the center of it's hilt.

This was Alondite, the holy sword that was trusted to him by his friend Ike who believed that his world wouldn't needed any of this kind of weapon any longer. Shame that he couldn't take Ragnel with him.

Zael then picked up the blade and held in both of his hand. Suddenly, the blade of it shine in bright light and he felt a warm feeling in his heart. After a few moment, he swung it for a few minutes and then sheathed it in his waist.

He then closed the case and then walked out the armory. 'Forgive me Ike, It seems i had to break my promise with you to not use Alondite.' thought Zael with regret filled his heart for breaking his promise with him.

October 11th Dragon's Smith

Right now, both Sasuke and Fang had finished cleaning the shop. Sasuke was currently dusting the weapons in the shelf that had been fixed while Fang was currently sweeping the floor of it.

"Finally done." said Sasuke while wiping his sweat from his head. "I thought we would never finish it." continued him while Fang glared to him for acting innocent.

"And who's fault that keep make a mess, huh Sasuke?" said Fang in harsh tone. "Me?" ask him, "Yes, you are you idiot!" shout Fang to him.

"Sorry.." muttered Sasuke to Fang who still glared to him. "Ara.." a sudden voice caused both Sasuke and Fang turn to the source of it.

"We'd just left you two for a few minutes and now you've already started to fight again." said Arturia sternly who now standing near the door.

"At least both of you had done your job well." continued her to them who now looked down to the floor feeling shamed for making a mess to the shop.

"Now then, clean yourself first Fang, Sasuke after that head to the living room. Zael-kun should already done his preparation by now." said her in warm tone.

Both only nodded and head to the bathroom while Arturia head to the kitchen helping Sasuki preparing teas for all of them later in the living room.

October 11th Dragon's Smith, Zael's Study Room

Right now, Zael was currently reviewing all the reports that had been sent by his allies, 'So far no trouble.' mused Zael while stamping the paperwork.

Suddenly there was a ring in his desk, he immediately picked the phone and said "Yes?".

"It's me, Arturia." replied Arturia in the phone, "Ah Ria, What's it?" said him to her while checking the paperwork.

"I already told the others to meet you in the living room." said her to him, "Tell them to meet me in my study room, I had enough seats to them." replied Zael immediately to her.

"Okay then, Have you done it?" asked her to Zael curiously, who was confused to her question and replied back "Done what, Ria?"

"I mean, Have you contact Asuna to come home immediately, Zael?" asked her back to him, Zael froze and replied "Not yet, I'll contact her now, thanks for reminding me, Ria."

"Don't mention it, Zael. We all know what you do when you're in this situations." replied her to him, assuring it's not his fault.

"Thanks again, Ria. I'll head back to work now please tell Sasuke and Fang to head to my study room now, I'll call Asuna now." said him to Ria while feeling guilty for forgetting Asuna.

"Like I said, don't mention it. Love you Zael." said her to him, "Love you too, Ria." replied him back, putting back the phone back Zael only sigh for his stupid mistake.

'Now, I know why I forgetting something.' thought Zael bitterly to himself, he opened his drawer and took a note that placed in the top of the papers.

Checking the notes, he took the phone and started to dial the number. After a few moment, a click was heard in the other side and "Hello?" said a woman from the phone.

"Hello, Asuna it's me. How's the vacation?" replied Zael to Asuna, "Fun, Did something happen Zael?" replied Asuna back to him.

"As a matter of fact, Yes we are, dear." said Zael to her and continued "I need you here immediately, can you reach here in time?"

A chuckle was heard on the other side and she replied "Yes, I can. Should I bring Yui too.?" said her to him.

"Yes, you can Asuna. Tell Yui I look forward to see her again." replied Zael to Asuna, "Yes, I will. Love you Zael" replied Asuna to him.

"Love you too Asuna." said Zael and he put the phone back and resumed his work.

Few Minutes Later

"Sorry for the wait, Sensei." said Sauke entering the room with Fang behind him.

"Don't worry, you have just come in time." said Zael while drinking his tea in his desk.

Sasuke then went to the couch in far right of the room while Fang was arranging the paperworks that now scattered in the floors.

"Thank you for your help Fang as always." thank Zael to Fang, while Fang only nodded with a small smile in her face.

"Sasuke." asked Zael to Sasuke. "What's it, Sensei?" asked Sauke to Zael.

"Where's Ria?" asked him to Sasuke who replied "Ria-ne still polishing her blade in armory with Asuna-ne."

"Asuna's back?" said him and Sasuke replied with a nodded to him.

"I see." said Zael before there was a ringing in his phone, he quickly pick it up and said "Hello, this is Zael, who am I speaking?"

"It's me." said Arturia in the other line to him, "Oh, what's it Ria?" asked him to her.

"Asuna had just back and her armor is in poor condition." said her to Zael, "I see, and now you and Asuna still fix her Armor." said Zael while tapping his hand to the table.

"Yes, and my blade. Could you start the meeting without us? Cause there still many pieces that need to be fixed." said Arturia to Zael who replied "Very well then, I'll debrief you later after you fix everything okay, Ria?"

"Okay, and sorry for troubling you Zael." said Arturia to Zael. "Don't worry, it's not your fault. Just be careful when you fixing Asuna and your equipments." said Zael assuring her it's not her fault.

"Will do." said her and the line was off.

Zael put the phone back and then turn to Sasuke and Fang and said "The meeting will start now.", "The others?" asked Fang to him and he replied "Ria and Asuna still fixing their equipments. We will start the meeting now since we're already three hours late."

Both Sasuke and Fang nodded their head and Zael began the meeting to deal the current problem.
