A/N: I decided to add Fruits Basket and Kampher in Book 2, also, what do you think of a Yulie/Natsuru pairing? Also, to answer your questions, NO NAME, I decided not to put in the avatar in this fic at the beginning of the fanfic cause this fanfic will focus on Zoey and Alice and their connections to the Athwani which will be explained later on in the story. Also, there will be changes to this story which I will not spoil, but let me tell you, it will be epic. On with the fic!
Chapter 10: Friend or Foe? Part 2 of 2: The Qwaser and the Dragon and the Black Knight
The party was walking up the steep rocky road of the Flandar Trail. Yulie sighed and said "Boy, this looks steep." "You're telling me…" Leonard sighed.
Kara sneered. "Giving up already?" Kara mocked. Eldore turned to the party and said in a serious tone "The climbing is the least of our worries."
"Figures…" Alice sighed in annoyance. Lili then got an idea. "Hey, angel girl…" Lili called out to Nanael. "I have a name you know! It's Nanael!" Nanael fumed, levitating up in the air in anger.
"Sorry… Nanael… Do you think you can fly up the distance to find out if there are monsters in our way?" Lili suggested. "What do I look like, a scout?" Nanael glared. "Please, Nanael? We need to know what's up ahead." Nowa pleaded.
Nanael looked at Nowa's pleading eyes. 'Damn… There's no way I will resist a young girl's eyes….' Nanael sighed in defeat and muttered "Fine…" Nanael took to the skies.
10 minutes later, Nanael flew back down to the party with a frown. "I see monsters and yellow giant dragons." She reported.
"Earth dragons… They have the power of the earth and are dangerous. Luckily, Leonard's Knight is able to defeat them." Eldore explained.
"So…" Cham Cham was walking next to Iroha. Iroha explained the situation to her. "We had to beat these evil people called the Magi and rescue a princess?" She asked her friend. "Yes. Master Leonard seems focus on rescuing Princess Cisna. That is why he is using the Knight's power to save her." Iroha nodded.
30 minutes later
"Hah! Here we go!" Cham Cham shouted as she hurled her boomerang at the weakening ice giant, it slammed into it, the ice giant growled in agony as it fell on its back, dead. Cham Cham smirked as she did a victory pose as the boomerang came back to her and she grabbed it.
"Wow! I'm impressed, Cham Cham! That boomerang of yours is handy!" Yulie commented on Cham Cham's fighting skills. "Not bad… for a half cat girl from Green Hell from another world." Kara remarked nicely.
Cham Cham stared at Kara. "How… did you know about my home?" She asked confusedly. "Just me speaking nonsense…" Kara shrugged. "Really, Kara-chan…?" Jean asked confusedly. "Don't call me that…" Kara glared at Jean who gulped nervously.
"Well well, so this is the pactmaker of the White Knight?" A child's voice asked amused. "Hmm?" Eldore glared at two people who are walking towards them.
"What the? What are two children doing here?" Mai gasped. The first girl is about 11 years old, has yellow hair tied in two long ponytails, she wore black clothes with a black hair band for women, next to her is a girl slightly older than the girl, she has red hair and wore blue and white clothes.
"Who are you?" Leonard demanded. "The name's Katja, and this is my servant, Hana Katsurgi." Katja smirked cruelly. Hana remains silent as she bowed politely.
"This is no place for children to play around. Aren't little children afraid of the monsters dwelling here?" Kara frowned as she puts her hands on her hips.
"D-Don't talk to my Queen like that!" Hana snapped. "Queen…?" Alleyne raised an eyebrow in question.
"So uh… Katja, is it? Judging by your clothes, you and Hana came through the Knight Gate, correct?" Leonard asked. 'Who is this girl? I feel an odd energy coming from her.' He thought to himself.
"Correct, pactmaker of the White Knight…" Katja nodded. "Wait, how did you know Leonard was the pactmaker of the White Knight?" Yulie demanded. "I saw him transformed when he fought those three idiotic women. Ah, I heard legends of the Knights…" Katja smirked darkly as she glared at our hero.
"What?" Leonard frowned, he got his sword ready just in case. "The Knights… five giant war machines made by the Ancients according to your world… We Qwasers want the power of the Knights to become even more powerful. But sadly, there's a few who feel the other Qwasers will use it for evil, namely Sasha." Katja stated in a cold tone.
"A… Qwaser…?" Maron blinked. "A Qwaser is an anthropoid being who possesses supernatural powers affording them utility over a single chemical element. Their powers relied on fuel to help them use their powers. That power is known as Soma." Eldore glared at Katja.
"And what is that Soma?" Cute asked confusedly. "Um…" Eldore tried to think an excuse so he won't say the word that may offend them. "It's… breast milk." He sighed.
"What? Breast milk…?" Reina's eyes turn white dotted. "As in… a woman's breast milk…?" "Ewwww!" Yulie stick her tongue in disgust. "So you want my Knight?" Leonard frowned as he unsheathed his sword.
"Correct… As I remember, a pactmaker's pact with the Knight is forever, so all I had to do is kill you and take your Knight for my own purpose. So will you die for me?" Katja glared at Leonard. "I won't die! Cisna needs me and today is not the day to die!" He charged at Katja.
Qwaser of Copper: Katja
Leonard yelled out a battle cry as he gets ready to slash Katja. Katja smirked as a clay and blood female manikin appeared out of nowhere, she wore black clothes and blocked Leonard's attack. "The hell?" Leonard gasped in shock.
"As I thought… this is the Qwaser of Copper's puppet, Anastasia…." Eldore frowned. "This isn't gonna be easy…"
"Anastasia, kill him softly…." Katja ordered. Anastasia readies her claws and begin clashing with Leonard's sword.
"Leonard! Don't lose to her!" Zoey shouted encouragingly. "I know, Zoey!" Leonard nodded as he slashed Anastasia three times. Anastasia kicked Leonard in the chest, knocking him back a little bit.
Leonard landed on his feet and gritted his teeth. Anastasia charged at him. 'Foolish boy… He doesn't stand a chance. Not even Sasha was able to defeat me, we fought once, but it was a draw…' Katja smirked darkly.
But suddenly, before Anastasia can strike, Leonard warped out of the way. "What the?" Risty gasped. "Where did he go?" Hana looked around for Leonard, so did Anastasia did the same.
Suddenly, Leonard appeared from behind and slashed her three times, making clay water sprouting from its back. "Damn it!" Katja growled. "Hana… Now is a good time to give me your Soma…" Katja got out a whip and begin whipping her. (I hope that's allowed in this fic.) "Ow! U-Understood, my Queen!" Hana winced in pain.
'Damn it! If I don't do something, that thing will be back up for round 2! I got to stop her!' Leonard thought vigorously. Leonard rushed up to Katja and pointed her blade behind her head.
"My queen!" Hana stammered. Katja gasped in shock as she turned to see Leonard's blade inches towards her neck. "Call off that thing or else I'll kill you!" Leonard growled.
"…" Katja narrowed her eyes at the blade, and then she smirked. "I had to hand it to you, White Knight… You fight well to defeat my manikin, that's rare. So… I surrender."
"What?" Leonard arched an eyebrow. "You're giving up that easily?" Yulie fumed.
"I take it you have some important business to attend to in this area. Would you mind telling me what it is?" Katja said calmly. "Why should we trust you? You want Leonard's Knight!" Alice shouted angrily.
"Alice, it's okay. I don't know why she wants my Knight, but maybe she can help us…" Leonard reassured her. "But…" Alice started to protest, but nodded.
15 minutes later
The party with their newest members is now near a cliff like area and explaining the situation to Katja and Hana.
"Rescuing a princess, eh? Sounds like the Super Mario games, only with magic and fantasy involved." Katja smirked. "B-B-But my queen! They say these Magi guys have one of the five Knights on their side! Do you think we might stand a chance against it even with Leonard's Knight?" Hana stammered. Katja glared at Hana.
"Silence, Hana. This Black Knight will be a excellent source of workout I need. Now no more talk, Hana." Katja issued. "Sheese, I feel sorry for Hana, being treated around like that…" Yulie whispered into Zoey's ear.
"Yeah… I wonder how Katja got Hana to be her slave?" Zoey nodded. "Hey guys! Come check this out!" Cham Cham issued everyone to calm see where Eldore is. The party see the entire Flandar Valley from the cliff.
Leonard then noticed something. "What is that?" He pointed to what he is pointing. The party looked at his direction and saw a huge city on top of a giant turtle slash centipede like monster moving through the valley.
"That is the free city of Greede, beyond the rule of both Faria and Balandor…" Eldore folded his arms. "Holy crap…" Risty gasped in awe. The monster stopped midway and let out a soft roar.
"So what makes it a free city?" Maron asked Kara. "Who knows? All I know that Greede is beyond the rule of both countries." Kara shrugged.
"We wasted enough time. Let's hurry on over to Greede before that thing moves again." Alleyne issued. "Yeah, what Alleyne-chan said, right?" Jean nodded. Everyone nodded in agreement and pressed on.
Oh, and while they were walking, Ymir took the liberty of gathering some rare minerals so our heroes can make armor and stuff when they get to Greede.
After emerging from the tunnels, they were almost there till they heard the flapping of wings…
"Wait… What's that noise?" Cute gasped. Suddenly, a dark dragon swoops past them, forcing all to shield themselves. "What the…" Leonard gasped. Yulie pointed out and exclaimed "Look! Up there!" The party sees the dragon soaring towards the sky.
"A dragon…" Kara muttered. The dragon eyed the party then it eyed Kara who made a scowl. With a roar, it soar towards the party!
"Ah crap!" Nanael swears as the party dodged it. Eldore stared at the dragon's odd behavior. "What? It's attacking?" Eldore murmured.
The dragon then landed on its feet. It is known as the Draconian Descendant, the Ancient Dragon! The Ancient Dragon then attacks!
Draconian Descendant: Ancient Dragon
"Verto!" Leonard transformed into the White Knight. "Whoa… So that's the White Knight!" Cham Cham gasped in awe, but snapped back to reality as she leaped into the air and slams her boomerang into the Ancient Dragon's head, making it recoil.
"Come on, dragon! Get some!" Risty challenged as she charged at the Ancient Dragon, but the Ancient Dragon swipes her away with its tail, making her fell on her knees.
"Risty!" The White Knight shouted in worry as he slashed the Ancient Dragon three times with his sword, giving it some large damage and making green blood fall on the ground.
"Not good…" Yulie grimanced as she fired three ice arrows at the Ancient Dragon, giving it some minor damage. The Ancient Dragon breathes five fire balls at the party, they dodged it.
"Crap, crap, crap, crap!" Alice panicked as she dodged them and fired gun shots at the Ancient Dragon, giving it some damage.
Maron detached her claws and used her mind to make them hit the Ancient Dragon for bigger damage. Suddenly, she looked up and gasped. "What's that?" She pointed up, the party looked up and saw something coming towards like a comet.
It was the Black Knight! The Black Knight got out his sword and clashed with the Ancient Dragon.
"What the… I thought the Black Knight is evil!" Cattleya gasped as Rana hugged his mom tighter. "Not him again…" The White Knight growled. "Leonard, remember… one of the Arks is guarded by a dragon…." Eldore advised.
"What? You think this is the one?" Lili frowned. The Ancient Dragon knocked the Black Knight back a little. Then, they took to the skies and clashed. The Ancient Dragon rams into the Black Knight into the ground. The Black Knight slowly got up.
The White Knight punched the Ancient Dragon in the face, making it recoil. Suddenly, Risty glowed with red energy, so does the White Knight. "A Fusion Verto? Risty!" The White Knight shouted towards her.
"Ugh… Damn… I'm coming Leonard…" Risty slowed got up as she turned into energy and went into the White Knight. The White Knight's cape is now red, and he is hold giant versions of Risty's mace and shield.
The White Knight struck a pose and shouted in both Leonard and Risty's voices "White Knight Benevolent Bandit of the Wild Mode!" The White Knight sweat dropped.
"Wow… what a long title…" Leonard's voice said embarrassed. Risty appeared, naked and transparented with a scowl. "Never mind that, Leonard! We got to help the Black Knight, even if he's our enemy!" She shouted. The White Knight nodded as he slams his mace on the Ancient Dragon's head, making it roar in pain.
"Sonic Blade!" The Black Knight shouted as he hurled an red energy slash at the Ancient Dragon, giving it some damage. Next, the Ancient Dragon managed to hit both Knights with its claws. But the White Knight bashed its body three times with his mace.
The Black Knight thrusts his sword at the Ancient Dragon's body 10 times, giving it some hurt.
"Time to end this!" Risty's voice shouted as the White Knight hit the Ancient Dragon three times with his mace, making it recoil in pain. The Ancient Dragon lays on the ground in pain.
The White Knight walked up the Ancient Dragon in concern. "Leonard! Wait! Don't kill that dragon! It won't hurt us!" Zoey pleaded. "I won't…" Leonard's voice agreed. Suddenly, a red burst of energy hit the Ancient Dragon, killing it. The Ancient Dragon roared in agony as it fell to the ground, dead. It came from the Black Knight!
"Bastard!" Reina growled in anger. The Black Knight flies towards the burning corpse of the Ancient Dragon and inspected it. "No… This was not the one." Dragias' voice came out of the Black Knight as it flew away.
The White Knight glared at the Black Knight retreating.
