An: Glad to see some people are reading my new story and let me a question someone asked.Guest: Im glad you find my story interesting and to answer your question. Im not sure how to answer without spoiling later chapters. This story is actually based on Lk but im not really using the looks or outfit. Its a bit similar to an OC but at the same time its not. This story somewhat follows cannon like places and ect but its really just an adaptation. I hope you understand and sorry for long and vague response. But if you see him as sheath Knight then thats ok too.
This applies to all characters as well
The chargers im basing the characters i use here are
Rena: grand archer
Aisha: Elemental master
Elsword: Lord Knight
Add: Lunatic Pysker( forgot how to spell)
other characters that will join will have their class orginal idea at the beginning of that chapter.
Thanks all for reading and now lets get onto the story.
Rena's PoV
I woke up because of the chirping birds outside. Ahh so nostalgic. I saw Aisha still sleeping like a log next to me, wait why is Aisha here in my bed? Oh right i went to Elsword's bed since i didn't really feel at ease. I think i know why Aisha's here though hmhmhm.
I didn't see Elsword though, where did he run off to so early. I went to to the bathroom to change back into my normal clothes. That bathroom still smells so fresh. Like it was built yesterday or something.
After i was done changing i walked out to see Aisha fully dressed laying on her back on my bed. She was reading with the book in the air looking focused. "Stare too hard and your face will get stuck like that" i poke her belly and she curled up slightly. Ah so she still ticklish.
"Hey, i gotta give 100 percent into everything or end up slacking" She says and jumped off my bed looking around. "Els still not back yet?" "No, i think he may have gone training"
"Am i that predictable to you guys?" I jumped into Aisha and we fell back onto the bed. Elsword was in the window with his arms on the entrance of it. He was also fully dressed but his hair was wet and he had a yellow towel over his neck.
He must have took a shower after training. I still remember the stench of sweat he built after every session. "Atleast you learned to shower" Aisha giggled at her own joke. Elsword flicked a rock at her head. "Well atleast it won't make my face stuck"
A few minutes later we were walking in the city heading for Hoffman's office. Since he's a trader he is always constantly busy and for us to get an appointment this early was purely luck.
We chatted about whatever came to mind. From what fruits grow here to how many tiles are on the ground. We stopped there because we no one wanted to count all those tiles.
We made it Hoffman's office which was colored white with two gray columns in the front. Looked like he wanted to be fancy but the builders said otherwise.
Aisha's PoV
We knocked on the door and waited for Hoffman to answer. He came after about 2 minutes and invited us in. "Good to see you again Rena, and Elsword." Huh he already knew Elsword too?
"Thanks for having us Sir, so about the information now" Rena got into her business mode. She's really reliable like this. "Yes about that, I need to be frank with you. I need something in return." Guess something happened on his end.
Elsword looked confused "Why didn't chief Hagus call a favor?" "He did, and that was for the house your staying in now" Ah well that explains that. "Also im a trader. To get something, you must do something first to gain that favor" He says with a neutral face.
"So whats the problem" Rena says to cut off Elsword before he could say anything. " A few bandits are causing trouble for not only my trading route but for the other trades here in Elder" Bandits. Again.
"So we take them out an you will give us the info?" Hoffman gives a small map of the nearby bandit fort. Wally's memorial bridge. Such a creative name.
"Ok then, lets move" After getting the map all we have to do now is take care of the bandits. Easy enough. "Traders deal and whatnot hmm" Elsword thought outloud. He looked interested than angry though.
We made it to the bridge which was just outside of the city. It looked quite peaceful. Small river passing though it it with some flowers growing near it. "No signs of bandits" Elsword says walking ahead. He needed to stay upfront since he's the vanguard.
We made it to the fort where the bandits are supppst to be held. We were planning on sneaking but the fort seemed so barren. We opted to just walk in staying on guard. Nothing happened. No guards near the entrance, not even a person walking around. No one was around, weird.
"Was Hoffman throwing us off?" Rena says with her hand on her chin. "Im not too certain, but i dont think he would lie l he would gain nothing from it" Elsword answered opening the front two doors to the inside. Even inside the fort there was no one. Almost as if they all left or vanished. No traces of them.
Somethings not right
"I say we turn this into an investigation" Elsword and Rena nod to my suggestion and we went further inside. We checked all the rooms finding only normal things such as armor, boots, tables, and leftover food. No people though.
We made it to the Kitchen. "Hmm you hear that?" Rena says going closer to large double door cabinet. She opens it only to find a large hole in the wall. It was the size of the whole cabinet and looked to be a cave of some sorts. "Well looks like our seach goes on" Elsword grabs the hilt of his blade and stand near the cave.
"Should we report or continue the seach, im staring to quest if bandits was really the ones at work here." Even though Elsword is in front and takes charge when its time, he always makes sure to get our opinion first before mindlessly charging in. He knows when to take charge, it makes him look cool.
"I say we keep going, if we go back now then we would to come all the back here which would just tire us." I nodded and we all went into the cave. I used a fire spell to illuminate our way down.
We were walking for some time, til Elsword drew his sword. I prepared my spell and Rena 3 magic arrows. "Somethings coming, almost like a hored" Rena says uncertain. We looked forward to see a large swarm rats coming our way.
Oh my El, why rats.
They jumped at us but Elsword swings his sword killing all those who jumped and knocked back a few. I cast a fire ball spell to burn out the ones that somehow gotten behind us.
Rena was shooting all the ones we didn't get. More and more began to come and we had to find a better footing to fight or else they will over take us.
Elsword grabbed me and Rena and ran further into the cave. As we ran Elsword charged though spider webs, bats and more rats. Poor guy, he smelled so nice this morning too and now this.
We stopped at a random section of the cave. But for some reason this part had lights. Small torches were set on the walls to light up the place. but the worst part was the sewer water everywhere.
We didn't get any on us, but if we did then these clothes will have to go byebye. Elsword sat down and leaned on a wall with his legs up after setting me and Rena down. He carried both of us and managed to still run fast, impressive i must say.
Rena grabbed my hand led me over to Elsword. She sat on his right, and i on his left. He was breathing a bit hard but he will live. "That was heroic of you Els hmhmhm you almost looked cool" I say leaning on his arm.
"Yea such a gentleman, you even avoided the sewer water so thoughtful" Rena also leaned on his arm. Elsword never minded when we got too close to him since we known him for some time now. Its almost as if he enjoys the skinship( In this case the closeness of his friends)
Elsword scratches the back if his bead with a grin. "Well i suppose i do try". Then we heard some kind of jumping followed by roar. "No breaks today huh" I say as Elsword sprang up.
3rd PoV
Charging and stop to stare toward Elsword, Rena, and Aisha was a strange giant rat like creature. The creature's fur was light yellow with a Mohawk going straight down to its tail colored white. "Wha-wha-what is that!" Aisha says getting into her position.
Elsword was the first to await what the creature would do. With all the sewer water he can't afford to do anything drastic, or cause more attention to them.
The monster simply jumped and began charging them with its head. "Aisha!" Elsword shouted as way to give the signal for spells. All 3 of them rolled out the way of the monster, its head rammed into the wall they were behind.
"Freeze!" Aisha shouted and froze the surrounding water around them. They all landed atop the ice. Rena begins shooting her arrows in doubles. The monster turns around swiping its claw all over to block the arrows. He then charges again toward Rena.
Instead of slamming into Rena, It get its thick hand cut by Elsword. The wound was large causing the monster to rear back in pain. "Not yet!" Aisha shot 3 fire balls at the monsters back, although it barely burned it. "Ah cmon!" Aisha now shoots ice spikes at the monster.
This time the spell in more effective, due to the spikes penetrating the monster's thick fur. "RAAGAHHA" The monster attempts to flee but Elsword thrusts his sword into the monster's chest.
It falls over with a large 'thud' and lies motionless. Elsword, Aisha, and Rena walked up to the beast carefully. On a closer look, the monster seem to resemble something. It had a snout with pure black eyes. It was a Phoru.
"What? is thing, a phoru?" Rena asked in disbelief. There was no denying the similarities between this and the some of the phorus back at Ruben village. "I think it went through some kind of mutation being here." Aisha says with a sorrow look.
Elsword sheathed his sword "That explains why fire wasn't effective on it, the fur did seem moist somehow" Elsword began going toward the exit. "Lets go, we now know we should really report this to Elder" Rena and Aisha nods to Elsword and begin following him.
Early Afternoon
The crew made their way back to Hoffman's office to report of the incident. "A mutated Phoru you say? i see . So they are real after all" Hoffman says with his hand on his chin.
"So there like a myth or something til now?" Aisha asked seeming bewildered. "Yes, Phoru's used be bandits themselves, trouble makers if you will. They would steal, or terrorise the citizens." Hoffman tells them grabbing a picture to show them.
There were different Phorus in the pictures though. There was a few red as well as black ones. The rest was white or light yellow. "Were the phorus here different here?" Rena gets the picture from Hoffman to give Elsword and Aisha a look.
"No not really more like there different types of phoru" Hoffman points to the red phoru. "Red ones are more faster than the others. They are fast runners but not too stronger". He points to the black phoru" Black ones are the strongest ones of the bunch but they are also the slowest"
Rena's PoV
After the explanation Hoffman gave us, he told us we should rest for now and get prepared for tomorrow. Me and Aisha are walking down the streets of Elder to spend time. Elsword went off to go find out more about Wally on his own. He promised he won't get into any trouble so we let him.
We are now passing by a blacksmith shop with a very large man working on a sword. He looks up, nods and goes back to work. "Hmm the city looks nice but its kinda boring in my opinion" Aisha has her hands behind her back.
"Well maybe because there was always something going on in the village." Its true, everyday something was happening. There was never a dull moment there. "Lets see what we can find around in the city" I say walking ahead with Aisha in tow.
Wally's PoV
'Plans are moving nicely i supppst a little leisurely walk around my city is well deserved' Im walking down the sidewalks of the city streets with my guards. I have guards as well as sword at my waist in case i need to defend my self.
But i maybe getting rusty now. Im not like how i used to be back in my prime. I crack my shoulder and turned the corner. The city its so... peaceful. This city does well in concealing any problems that rise.
While walking i saw in the corner of my eye something peculiar. A purple head girl and a blonde hair girl. Nothing out of the ordinary, except the blonde is an elf. An elf here in the city? interesting.
I turned to two of my guards. "Send two stealth soldiers to track those two" The two soldiers nod and leaves silently. I know these two from somewhere, i have to keep and eye on them.
"Sir, Add would like to have a word with you" A soldier says with Add behind him. Seems Add has a new attire.
He now wears a open zipper white jacket with purple lining and his signature purple power insignia on the back. He has a dark purple shirt under jacket with black gloves. For his bottoms he has on dark a very dark shade purple pants with black boots armored boots.
His dynamos also yoo a change. They now have a sharper shape, with light purple gems in them. They are black with a purple line going through all them.
"I take it you didn't come here to show off the new attire." He puts his hands in his pockets and walk off "Follow me,theres somethings up"
Interesting.
Evening 3rd PV
Bandit Fort.
Add and Wally made their way the bandit for that was beyond the memorial bridge.
They went inside to the large cabinet door and stood there. Wally raised his eyebrows in confusion. "Why are we here"
Add didn't turn to Wally. "Your little experiments are running about in here" Add side glanced Wally" Seems like someone found out this location, there gonna investigate tomorrow most likely"
Wally placed his hands behind his back. "No worries there efforts will be fruitless as there are a quantity in there" Wally says with a confident smirk.
Add sighs "They already killed one of them and many of the rats down there that were guarding have been killed off" Add then walks in front of Wally
"Lets make a little deal shall we? kekekeke"
Back In Elder
nightfall
Elsword makes it back to the house with a map he and Hoffman made. After scouting the cave further, Elsword and Hoffman found it leads almost directly under Wally's castle.
Elsword had took care of more rats on the way and took out some normal mutated phorus. He attempted to converse with them, but they already lost their minds.
After waving off Hoffman, Elsword opened the door and walked to the dinning area. "Look who finally shows" Rena and Aisha are in their sleepwear sitting at the dinner table with food fully cooked.
It was large bowl of pasta on the middle of the table with mash potatoes next to it. "Hehe sorry was doing somethings with Hoffman and got distracted of time and my orginal goal sorry" Elsword sat at the end of the table.
They began eating and Elsword explained that he want back into the caves to take care more of those rats for tomorrow. "We figured as much, you should go shower now, you kinda stink". Aisha giggles.
After everyone was done showering and dressed for bed, the group was now sitting on their beds talking. "I still think its stupid how just because there a different color, they become faster or stronger" Aisha complains with a book in her hand.
"Yea i kinda think he's pulling our leg, but we have no choice. Also we found that the cave leads directly under Wally's castle" Elsword says playing with the candle light. "Hmm i think we should sleep now, can't be exhausted for tomorrow" Rena flips over to her side and closes her eyes.
Everyone says their 'goodnights' and drifted into their sleep. But they couldn't shake this watchful eye feeling
Add's PoV
Midnight
Kekekeke, finally things can get interesting. This deal is in high in my favor. "You have a creepy smile again.." The little girl next to keeps telling me. "When things start going your way Echo, hoe can one not smile?"
Echo, the said alchemist genius. She seems like a young girl but she's actually older than me. She wears a long brown over coat, and occasionally pulls something from there. Whats in there? Her whole shop?
We're currently inside Wally's nasod garage working on his latest project, or projects if you will. If i i can build this by tomorrow morning, I can get a move on in my seach for Eve.
"Heeeey" This girl always interrupts me. I sent 3 nasods toward her to pick her up. "Thanks" She gets back to work. In order to build this many in one night, it require almost 100 dynamos, but with Echo's assistance it they can be finished by tomorrow before sunrise.
Alchemy sure is helpful kekekeke. I look over all of them. "With this many, He probably could take over Bethma" Echo comes to my side.
3 hours l later
Each of them are now done. I look outside and see the sun is now over coming over the horizon. "whew just in time" Echo says falling onto my dynamos, lucky i catch her. This girl helped me in designing my new dynamos so im in her debt.
iI leave the castle to take Echo home. She's deep in her slumber. 'hm she's pretty light' I made it back to Echo's house and put her in her bed. Just before i could leave "Bye...Add" She says still in her sleep. I look back and saw her eyes half open. "Yea see ya, and uh...um thanks" I pat her head and walked out.
While walking back to the castle, i saw a couple guards walking past me in a rush. Hmph i should care anyway, im departing here today and i couldn't be any more happy.
I made it back to the castle and made it to Wally's bedroom. He really used his title as Lord of Elder. The itself was about the size of a house in the city. Gold and silver statues alike are placed all about the flawless wooden tables. The carpet was red and his bed was empty.
Wait, empty?
Its barely even sunrise yet. Where could he have gone. I looked around the room looming for clues a particular stone sculptor caught my eye. It was a bust of Wally made of clay. "If everything is made of silver and gold, then this hold some level of significance" I touched the bust and low and behold he eyes glowed.
The statues that were aligned amoung tables pushed into the shelves and began to open an door. "A secret door. All these rooms you have and you still used this" I shake my head and walk down into the door.
The tunnel was illuminated by small lights at the top of the ceiling. After a leisurely walk down the tunnel. I was now in a gigantic room. In the center was a large, somewhat old modeled nasod.
It had a turrent and laser beam cannon on top for a head. The body was large and bulky with two large boxes in the chest area and shined lights. One arm was a gatling gun with three large rocket guns on the sides of it.
The other half was a full hand cannon with a laser scope for accuracy. The bottom of the body was on four wheels for mobility. This isnt a nasod, its a war machine. I looked and saw Wally looking down at me with his hands on his back.
"I had no doubt you could have failed to find this place, Add." He says with a smug look on his face. I got on my dynamos and flew up to the platform he was standing on. "What the hell is this are you planning a war!?"
This thing looks like it can already handle itself without any backup. "Hehe oh no not war. But something more. I plan to use this model to bend all to me." He says hovering his hands. Now that i look at him he seems different.
I narrowed my eyes "Tch is that so" I fired two beams at Wally. He blocked the beams with his arms unscathed but...
His hands were metal. Be tore off his shoulder sleeve coat to reveal his new arms. "Hmhm so predictable Add. In order to take all in this world, you cannot bear the curse of humans slow and fast approaching demise!" He jumped at me with his fist ready for a forward punch.
I dodge out the way in time and he landed to the ground with smirk. " I dont need you anymore Add, but those dynamos are to stay" This guy!
I flew to the ground firing particle balls at him. he began charging at me with his arms shielding his body. Well then. I activated Nasod Armor level 1 and just before he can punch i countered it with my punch. Our fist now in a battle to over take each other Wally stares at me with his smug look.
"I won't allow you to leave without those dynamos, with them his can be the ultimate killing machine" I dont care what he kills, but this thing is just trouble. And i won't allow dome man he can't even make his own nasod have one.
Wally's hand began to over take me slowly. But he forgets my dynamos can fight as well. Just in time a dynamo came right near my cheek and fired at Wally's face. He attempted to backflip but was still hit by the laser. "Gah you little brat!!" His eye now has a burned line going down it.
He turned his arm into a blade and rushed toward me. Kekekehahaha interesting! lets see how the Nasod Armor can be used!
He thrust forward with the blade but side stepped out the way. He charged my hand with the nasod armor but he caught it with his other hand. "Heh" He smirks but a dynamo came to fire a particle ball at him, forcing him to let go of me.
He skidded back and jumped forward. He rushed me with his blade, but i put up particle shield just in time. The shield began to crack after too many slashes. When it shattered i took that time to deliver a particle powered punch to his gut.
He coughed out and i punched him away with my other hand. I jumped on my dynamo and fired a particle prism to encase him. He got up realizing he was trapped, began thrashing and slashing at the prism. I left four dynamos to keep up the barrier and left on the other three.
I flew up to the ceiling and began a fire frenzy around the whole place. The whole place began to rumble and rubble began falling. Guess the place wasn't so sturdy after all. The place began to collapse and i realized we were underground.
I flew to the exit with the other four dynamo i left coming back to me. With all seven i was at top speeds. I looked back and saw Wally get into some type of pod that was in the pod. He got away, but atleast i dont have to worry about this thing.
I made back outside and flew all the way to be able to see all of Elder. I looked down and saw guards everywhere and people wondering about what the large noise was.
It was now sunrise. I looked down and saw Echo waving at me bye. i did a small wave back at her and flew off.
Now, on to Altera. Ill be there soon, Eve
