The Quote I wanted to post in this chapter:
"Once the new age awakened, the old age will disperse into nonexistence..."
First day...
Unknown's POV...
I was, walking in a clearing towards the house. It's nearly a day since Draking disappeared. And that day, where Xemelisa's self, almost break.
Nocios was in the training ground under the house, a wide training ground that could almost fit the Pentagon. Good thing that Xemelisa wanted to cooperate on training with me. Nocios was the strongest since Draking left, but he's not really the strongest, and according to what I've heard him. Xemelisa was something. I don't get it at first but somehow he thanked me for comforting Xemelisa. I'm confused at that part but I shrugged that off.
"Hm?" my thoughts halt when I step something. Lifting my foot up, to find a weird stone with a strange power symbol. I kneel down as I analyze the thing, red and blue lights was flashing in the power symbol.
"What is this thing?" I reached out, for it, only to hear a scream. Scream inside of me.
"AHHHH!" I heard Lifey and Deathia cries. I tried to talk but somehow my mouth kept close. I clench the stone harder.
"Wha-what the!? Lifey! Deathia!" Lifeo's voice shouted.
"What the hell is going on!? Wha-!?" Deatho's voice ring but his voice suddenly static.
"Deatho! Lifey! Deathia!" Lifeo cried out, "Unknown-sama! Help us! There's a mons-!?" His voice didn't finished as the static once more could be heard.
As that happening, I was both clenching the stone harder and my chest as I felt a hot pain suddenly. Instead the stone break from my death grip, it made my hand bled. Until something flashes to my mind.
I saw Lifey and Deathia in an instance with something pulling them in the darkness faster than I could imagine.
Then I've noticed Deatho, his mouth was open but but appeared at the corner of his mouth as I saw a black spike jutting out of his chest. Then his body was covered in black until he was pulled too.
Lastly, I saw Lifeo, staring right at me. He seems talking to me but I couldn't hear his words until something black pulled his foot towards the darkness below.
"AHHHHH!" I once again yelled as my eyes flashes with red and blue until it turned half red on the left and half blue on the right with a power symbol with a half dark on the left and half white on the right.
A certain picture appeared in my mind. Four orbs, one was purple, the other was black, green and white.
Until I lose my consciousness.
Second day...
I flutter my eyes open as I groaned in pain as tried to move only to feel a strong headache.
"U-Unknown?..." I heard a door open nearby along with a soft voice whom I recognize.
"Xem?" I said, my throat was dry and itchy. Somehow I can clearly tell that I was in a bed. Looking in front, I noticed her carrying a small bucket with a damp cloth in her hands.
"Well it seemed that you're finally awake." I was startled that I suddenly heard Nocios voice beside the bed. When the heck did he appeared?
"It didn't seemed matter right now anyways." I sigh, as I put my hand behind my neck, rubbing it.
"As for why you're awake..." Nocios motioned something as he sat and reach something behind him. Pulling out a stone with a power symbol... from before...
"From before?..." I thought confused. I shows a puzzled look from Nocios who noticed his confusion.
"What do you mean you don't know?" Nocios furrowed his eyebrows.
"I... I don't know really... I was just walking then..." I trailed off, he heard the Infinities screamed in pain but for somehow. He didn't know why.
"I'm sorry... but I really don't know what happened." I finished, unsure somewhat.
Nocios stared at him before looking back at the weird stone before throwing it at him.
I managed to catch it off guard since I was in deep thought. I raised my eyebrow at Nocios.
"Keep that in you..." He said turning around towards the door. He started to leave but not before giving me a last look.
"...something tells me that you need that." He said, closing the door. Leaving me and Xem alone.
I stared at the door then turned my gaze to the stone in my hand. Something doesn't add up here.
HDD...
I raised my eyebrow as I raised my head while looking around. Xem was watching me with a confused expression, "Unknown?"
I did not mind her. I look back at the stone. Something tells me... tells me...
"Xem, we're going to train right?" I ask, still looking at the stone.
"Yeah. If you want, maybe we could train later before going out from this world. Since you've just-"
"Let's go." I declared.
"Wait, you just wake up. Let me tak-" Xem tried to convinced me.
"I'm sorry but I'm okay. Let's go in the under ground." I stubbornly said.
She was silent before speaking. "Follow me."
Life I said before, the underground training area was huge as hell. After all, they put a fake forest here, hiding both the house and the underground area.
I was in the middle of a gigantic area, looking around me nothing but stone walls and everything. A large crystal in the middle that lights up all the area with ease.
I stood in front of Xem. Who looks at me with concern.
"Are you sure about this Unknown? You've just wake up somewhat in th-" I cut off her sentence when I raised my hand at her.
"I'm fine, like I said. I need to train, for you guys saves me. I can't help it but somehow angered to my myself where even I couldn't protect nor see what happened where I'm like normal with no happening around me!" My voice was raising slowly until I stomp my foot on the ground. Angrily to myself.
Xem didn't seemed unfazed what I shout but what surprises her is that she stared me through the eyes.
Even if I'm not stronger than them, I wanted to be stronger. Screw that badge going from Rank B where I just arrogantly said to myself that I ended up falling! Forget my old life! My family, my mother, my father, my siste-
I widen my eyes. But... I don't have a sister, only I remembered is my mother and my father... that's all. I've heard that they've died
I winced suddenly. Something flashes my mind.
Xem sighed, but she smiled until it turned into a grin. "Give me what you've got!" she said.
Shaking my head off as the slight pain passed by. Pulling out my sword, raising it in front of me. My sword was: A gray base with a slight blackness in the left outline and a slight whiteness in the right side. The handle was made in a cool looking bronze type that somehow shined in the crystal's light.
Pointing it towards Xem, "We neither. I wished Nocios was here. But I can manage."
And we dashed each other.
As we got near, I started slashing both vertically and horizontally while keeping my feet stay still. Xem did have a weapon. A long black katana with white handle. She was carefully trying to block my attacks, she surprised me with a kind of block that she spun around and block it in time.
Pulling my sword backward and goes in a stab. I was hesitating to do it since I don't wanted to hurt her, so she dodge. Albeit barely though. I jumped back, she suddenly disappeared, in her wake was a smoke that dissipate quickly. My instinct tells she's behind me, I quickly raised my sword, just in time she almost tried to cut me. She was smiling, she was not holding back. But me on the other hand was holding back by making a fatal attack.
"You're holding back." Xemelisa said, sparks was flying in our interlocked weapon. She seems disappointed.
I remembered my words, guess it was. I pushed back harder... but it's weird. I didn't use any large energy. Somewhat I chose small energy which was strong enough to push her.
She disappeared from her place as my sword collide in the ground. Making a small shook.
"That's... weird." I thought, confused at my sudden strength. Lost in my sudden distraction, I didn't notice that I move sideways, just in time for me to see a blade that was threatening to cut me in half.
Jumping away as I raised my head. Quickly dashing to my left as quickly as I could once I raised my head because Xem was already dashing, despite dodging her with ease somehow, I cannot fully retaliate due to some smokes or that first distraction caused all of this.
"Damnit... focus..." I thought deeply, sensing around me while still running. Closing my eyes as the whole world tinted in dark blue... I feel a pulse behind me.
"Behind!" Quickly as the light could spread, I slash behind me while fully turning around. I smirk as I interlocked with a black blade.
"Not that bad. Somehow even you're an agent C going to B, you're still powerful, even Ss or As can outstand the X. Specially Onii-cha-" she said, feeling somehow proud of me but halt, she disappeared.
Looking deep into her almost pupiless eyes. I could see a full worry and a slight anger. Though the anger is still something to me. I know she may love her brother that much, I understand. Though what confuses me is where her anger is directly.
Looking at my palm, four pulse rings my ear. Remembering everyone inside me, which I somehow got worried since they didn't said anything after I woke up. And that voice... HDD?
Shaking my head, "I hate to ask, but can you invite Nocios to join? I have to try something..." I said to her, which she raises her eyebrow, quizically looking at me. Understanding my determination to get stronger but she doesn't like doing by force. Or specifically, full force.
"You sure, Unknown? You may seem stand well to me alone. But..." she trailed off as she frowned. I was giving her a my full blown smirk.
"Do it." I said.
She seems hesitated but with a sigh, she signed in defeated as she leave the area to call Nocios.
Fourth day...
After two days damn tiring to an almost death battle between me and the two ranked Xs. Speaking of almost death battle, I hardly use too many energies, somewhat cheating them. I hate to tell lies but needed to in some ways. I can tell them maybe once I have a free time both mind and physical.
All three of us turns into free for all in the training ground, decided to enhance our skills and strength by having free for all battle to each other. Keeping a wise distance for all of us. Making a triangle. This day will be serious, because in midnight, we'll get going tomorrow.
"We decided to get going to our destination. This day will be a full training for us, it's been a long time since I, Draking and Xem trained due to maybe we could destroy the fake spells that maybe the people in the Chaosses tracked us down." Nocios stated. Drawing two of his black bladed daggers with from his sheath and held the white frilly handle with the blade pointing downward. It seems menacing enough to cut the steel in one go without using mild energy.
Me and Xem also unsheathed our own weapons as we readied our stance. The silence filled the air as weird wind somehow swept. A short second after it pass by, all of us dashed towards the middle. In a contact from our weapons, a small sparks appeared. I suddenly got interlocked with Xem as we both pushed each other as another small blade came from above breaking our impasse. Stumbling a bit as Nocios flies over me, quickly raising my sword as I hold my ground harder as I could. Pushing Nocios away as he disappeared but I almost drop my sword when I saw Xem charging at me in a stab motion. Moving sideways as my blade only contact with hers all the way through. Hearing a clank in the air, raising my head above as I saw Xem and Nocios fighting right away. Both parted away fast after their blades made contact, small spark light can be seen in their blades when contact and a small smoke in their wake as it vanished instantly. Feeling a pulse behind me, ducking forward when I heard a slashing sound. I jumped away as I turned around just in time to see Nocios' dagger quickly whisk through my left cheek, leaving a small cut line as I winced.
Groaning I dashed towards Xem, she sees me as she charge towards me. I furrowed.
"Menacing Pierce!" she cast as a shadow under her suddenly charge faster than I could see and formed a dark figure behind me. Widening my eyes as I jump high to avoid Xem's katana. Quickly putting my eyes on the shadow she summoned who was nowhere to be found, when upon touching the ground, I heard an unknown pulse behind me then I grunt when something jabbed me behind my back, breaking a few bones from my spine.
"Crap... I'm losing my pace." I thought worriedly. Slowly turning around with an audible wince, managing to stand on my ground. I started to pant, sweats poured in face. Nocios and Xem appeared in front of me, both somehow tired but they stand and still raging down to strike. I gulp, somehow feeling cocky, the atmosphere was indeed serious.
Taking a small breathe to calm myself and the adrenaline coursing in my veins. Closing my eyes, after closing it, the world outside tinted in dark red. Feeling a loud pulse in front of me and behind. Opening my eyes quickly I could as I spin around, sending the what felt like a blades from my sword. Looking in front as Xem widen her eyes, I grinned but moves to the side as I saw a body flying straight towards me, passing beside me as the body disappeared before it collide from Xem who was raising her arms to defend.
I saw Nocios collected her daggers as well as Xem's katana and gave it to her. Looking at me, with suspicion in eyes.
"Unknown, your eyes?" he said. He and Xem suddenly siffened, a sudden chill erupted my spine when Nocios glared. As well as Xem, suspicion and anger as well. I widen my eyes.
"Wait, what's going on? My eyes what?" I ask, feeling something wrong with me.
They stared at me like they almost wanted to kill me. Until I blinked, the feeling then washed away. Then their eyes widen in shock, perhaps?
"H-how...?" Nocios said, completely taken aback.
"Unknown... are you..." Xem muttered.
"Wa-wait! What's really going on!?" I almost yelled, slowly getting frustrated.
Nocios seems calm down a bit and look at me intently, "Can you say the word the one you heard somewhere...?"
I look at him with a quizical look, "The one I've heard?"
"Do you remember a strange voice? The one that said something to you?"
I put my finger on my chin as I think hard. Finally gotten a strange voice, "Yeah..."
"Can you say it loud and clear?" He seems hesitant saying that.
Looking at them. They seemed creeping their hands on their blades but I shrugged it off, I gave them a grin.
"HDD!" I shouted at them. Then my vision becomes white.
End of Unknown's POV...
A pillar of light suddenly burst out from Unknown as Xem and Nocios cover their eyes with their arms. Feeling the intensity of a light that makes the place shook a bit. The light slowly subsided. Both person slowly lowered their arms as they look where Unknown was once, if only a new completely different person, was on his place.
A male person. His appearance is: Black hair with spiky part at the back and a bangs that seems long specially the middle and the sides. Pale skin. Wearing what supposed to be like a plug suit, that covers all his body except his neck and head. The plug suit has a white and black colors and a bit bulky like looks. The shoulders and knees seems more bulkier than the rest. He looks pretty tough.
Xem and Nocios stared at the man who's eyes still closed at the moment.
"I... I knew it..." Nocios quitely said, teeth was gritting, eyes still widen in shock.
Xem didn't bothered asking, she knew as well when she looks at his eyes. Those sinister yet familiar looking crimson eyes of 'his'. Unknown has the same eyes. By now, she didn't know if this was Unknown or not.
Nocios on the other hand, seems stiffened. HE knows already that stone was something, because he felt four living pulse inside of it, AND he heard a voice calling Unknown's name. This is... ridiculous to say the least.
The man in the place of Unknown seemed stayed strongly quite. But the aura seems Godful.
Then, his eyes, slowly opened. A sudden strong wind released as a powerful unknown energy as both individuals have to almost buried their feets on the ground to maintained being thrown by an energy. The winds calm down as Xem and Nocios we're forced to look at the man's eyes.
Blue bright eyes with white bright power symbols. His stare seems shakened the place a bit. Those ironed, stern look.
"Crap..." Nocios muttered quitely as he draw out his own daggers. As Xem shook out from her stupor as she put her katana in front of her. Her knuckles seems starting to pale not noticing as she grip the handle quite painfully.
The man seems to stared at them, then his irises moves. From left to right, from right to left, down to top, top to down. He seems analyzing the place...
"U-Unknown...?" Xem blurted out loud enough, she didn't know why she wanted to call him but she somehow needed to know if this was Unknown. It was like she was being haunted by 'his''s transformation... those demonic looking eyes...
She was really shaking, somewhat afraid of what the man's response.
The man's iris looks at Xem. Then grinned.
"Hi there Xem! Nocios!" He shouted, closed eyes with a large grin.
...
... What...
... the...
Seems wrong...
Nocios fells unconscious...
As for Xem? Well...
Let's just say she fell unconscious as well...
"Woops! My bad!" Unknown said laughing hysterically.
He put a finger of his chin while examining himself. "This suit seems pretty good details. I like it Idea." he says to the air.
Suddenly a new voice response, a woman's voice. "Glade you like it! And by the way, you can meet them now."
A female person appeared in front of her, along with Deathia, Deatho, Lifeo and Lifey. The Infinities seems fine though their outfits was a bit tattered and some bruised from their skins, but something's wrong with their faces. The female person's appearance is: A pale blonde hair that reaches her waist, there's a black leaf with flames design tied beside her hair making a small ponytail. A ruby sharp eyes. Fair skinned. Wears a dark red, small dress that reveals her stomach. Short-short style one piece with gold detailing and a belt around her waist. Her clothes was underneath of a dark red, oversized jacket with red, gold, and black detailing. It is worn open and has a big loose belt. A tight leggings that was connected to her short-shorts was black in the upper part until going down the color changes into a tint red with a long flaming-like designed at the lower. She wears a matching boots.
"Thank you for the help, I almost lost hope on myself." Unknown thanked... Idea? Maybe that's her.
Idea looked at him for a moment before looking away, responsing, "No problem. Maybe I can explain later what our plan will be. Let's go."
Unknown look at where Xem and Nocios are. "Maybe I need to EXPLAIN it to them." he sweat dropped.
Idea chuckled. As for the Infinities...
"I'm n-never..." Deathia muttered, she was clearly shaking but not out of fear, completely flustered as her rosy face clearly can see as shadows loomed at her eyes. She was clear as day was both angry and flustered at the same time.
"C-calm down, Deathia..." Lifeo tried to as he made an awkward laugh.
"..." Deatho was calm, though his cheeks shows a slight hint of redness.
"G-guess that's it..." Lifey, as well as Deathia, has a rosy cheeks. Completely awkward atmosphere surrounding them except Idea and Unknown in the front.
As for why... let's head straight before Unknown's transformation...
Inside Unknown's Inner World... (Before Transformation)
"Ahhh!" Unknown's cry can be heard echoing in the darkness as he felt himself 'falling' in the darkness. He don't know what really happened but after saying that word, the world somehow stopped outside. And only to find himself shortly that everything around him turned black for some reason and started to 'fall'.
"What. The. Instincts going on!" He cried louder, arms flailing as he tried to fly from the neverending pits of darkness where he don't know if he was falling or just being falling... what else?
"Wait..." Unknown thought something... he slowly move his body straight. Upon straightening, his feet touch the 'ground'.
"Yeah! I knew it was my levitation!" Grinning in the darkness as his teeth glint.
"Unknown-sama!" a male shout could be heard behind him. Turning around Unknown's different eyes met with the four Infinities.
And oh... quick note. Lifey and Deathia was hanging in a, awkward position, don't think greens guys.
"Lady Ance! Just shut your mouth up for a second!" Deathia shouted to a floating author behind the 'camera'.
Ance:
...is that even part of your script?
"Sorry there, kinda go out for a bit. Okay ahem..." Deathia cleared her throat, awkward. A dark tentacle was around her stomach, one of her legs was almost left hanging in the middle air. Tentacles gripping both her arms tightly as she struggled.
Lifeo shook his head, he was hanging upside down, tentacle was encasing at his left foot. "For breaking a fourth wall in a middle of the battle. It was new to me."
"..." Deatho was quite as both his hands was hanging in the air extend in opposite direction.
"It feels sticky suddenly..." Lifey muttered under her breathe as she tried to move in her place. Tentacle was both encasing almost above her knees, as well as her arms hanging in the air.
Unknown tried not to look at Lifey and Deathia with an almost 'green' things forming in his mind. Without knowing that, Lifey and Deathia along the others sense his mind going out.
"U-Unknown-sama!" Lifey shouted, face was started to steam out, completely awkward on what Unknown was thinking.
"U-huh?" Unknown stuttered, unsure if he was calling this a 'rescue' operation when they're chatting in the middle of darkness.
"We're out of the way in this story, somehow..." Deatho commented, looking around.
"There the damn fourthwall break again. Okay enough of it!" Deathia shook her head.
As Unknown got out of his stupor. A loud roar could be heard in the darkness.
"Here goes the damn monster..." Deathia says as a large white single eye with black dot in the middle appeared above them.
"What the instincts is that!?" Unknown said, taken aback as he stared at the eye above him.
Everyone looks at Unknown who noticed their stared, "What?"
"Can you fly?" Lifeo asked.
Unknown thought of that, "Nope. Never try using it."
"Great..." Deathia tried not to face palm.
"Worry not dear strangers!" a new female voice said out of nowhere.
"Now who's that damn voice appeared once of out a year again?" Deathia annoyingly says.
"Don't be a downer. I'm a friend one, maybe I can help your friend fly. Sounds good?"
"Don't know if I can trust you?" Unknown said, with a hint of doubt in his voice.
"That choice of yours, you can change it after I show you. Okay get ready!"
"Wha-!? Wait I don't know how to!" Unknown said as he started to float in the ground. Unfortunately, unexperience.
"Just imagine you're really flying, it will work."
"I said I'm not ready yet!"
"Oh come on! You can do it!"
Unknown shook his head as he tried to concentrate, imagining himself slowly ascending higher and higher. Until he felt himself far enough from the giant eye.
The monster above seems stared at him intently, no blink can be move.
The Infinities below seems watching the scene takes place.
Even the voice was quite...
Slowly, in Unknown's eyes, a flicker of bright light blue eyes can be seen. Then disappeared.
The young man grasp his own sword with sheathe in hold. Slowly pulling it out in a slow but flawless move.
"So what now...?" He asked from nowhere. Until the voice response.
"Defeat it. You can save your friends, after defeating it... perhaps I can show myself now. But this monster blocks me from appearing. Good luck." the female voice said, a silence erupted again.
"Sounds a real bet. Here I go!" Unknown grinned as he dashed much faster upward, instantly going up to the monster.
The eye seems catches it too. From its iris, it sprout tentacles and quickly lunged itselves from Unknown. Obviously, to attack him.
Unknown got the call, quickly stopping for a moment to slice an incoming tentacle that was very fast coming to him, faster than the eye could followed.
"Whoa..." He said in amazement as well as surprise. But regain composure shortly. His attacks was slowly getting faster until it turns into a barrage of attacks since the tentacles was getting more and more any moment. He was getting closer to the monster as the tentacles was getting fewer but his energy was the one troubling him.
"Hey! Can you help me here! I'm losing my energy!" He shouted while still sending a barrage of attacks from the tentacles that was suddenly in jet speed.
"Hmm... I can give you a something called 'skills". Wanna try?" the female voice said.
Unknown hold still for a moment before backing up away, instantly turning around before dashing forward, fleeing from the tentacles who was trying to catch up to him.
"Sure, tell me." Unknown stopped. The others below shot their eye wide.
"Master! Dodge!" They shouted.
Time seems slowed down. Or rather... the tentacles slowed down.
"Jardin des Lames..." they heard Unknown uttered. They look back to where he was but he disappeared. They noticed that the tentacles was being cut to pieces in impossible speed as it goes towards the monster above.
The monster didn't try defending itself as all tentacles disperse into thin air. Then Unknown appeared closely near the monster eye creature.
First time, the monster blinked at him.
"Who are you? Human... You are, quite strange to stop my... 'attacks'..." It uttered in a monsterly way tone.
Unknown scoffed, brushing his hair off with his hand. Closing his eyes... the air suddenly turns into a calm one...
"Reach the button..." he heard the female voice said to him, his concentration deepened more. The monster didn't make a move as it eyed him... with, curiosity? Or cautiously?
Then, he felt air whipped around him. He felt it brushed his skin under his clothes.
"Now, pushed it..."
Then, a light encased him. Blinding both the creature and everyone below him. After the light subsided... their jaw almost dropped into an impossible length... Not from the eye creature, more like, its eyes just widen.
"Hard Drive Divinity..." a mature man said, at the place where Unknown supposed to be. "...Complete." the man grin.
Ance: Hello everyone! I'm SO VERY VERY sorry about I didn't go on in this chapter. I tried my best but it will be very slow to begin with. I'm really afraid to said this story was gonna stop cause it holds a lot of information about my OCs and everything that's to me.
Also, forgive me for many mistakes from the previous chapters. I will use the Old Time of Chaosses (means this current story time) rather than the New Era of Time from my story called Ultimension - Randomness. I have been killed for many weeks by this damn writer's block and I couldn't think, all seems random that is even suits out in my Randomness story. Gosh I hate it like that. Also, the previous chapters that I wrote with the name of France (with a bold letters representing me), think of it as me. For those who wait still for this chapter, I love you very much now and then.
Anyway guys, I'm Author Heart by the way. Ance is my personal first name. In my little bro's story (His name is Author Candidate- James), my full name is Ance Xila Scott. Not only I have my candidate but I have my Oracle as well. (Author Oracle - MiddonaitoShi)
Oh also, I'm hiring some Authors (Authorians if already hired) to be my 'Managers'. There are different types of Managers type, you can find it in my bio. If you wanted to join, talked to me in PM. I will survey you, depends of what the title you've chose. (For those who forgot this already, feel free to turn back in chapter one)
That's all for today, see you later everybody! Have a wonderful day! If you have any ideas, some suggestions. Feel free to ask me whether in review or in PM. I love both ways. I miss this story a lot. See yah!
