Ashi: Sigh…..it's almost here…..just two weeks away…..
Aschlyn: Almost here, huh? Well, time to test the caliber of your skills on this test.
Ashi: …..
Aschlyn: Unresponsive huh? Well anyway, Ashi would like to thank DanteShindo and ice tear for their name suggestions for , but we're gonna make the final verdict for more names after this chapter for chapter 13. For now, it's Luke for the disclaimer!
Luke: DeathhunterAshi does not own Tales of the Abyss, but she does own the Oc's and a few of the artes. The rest of the artes belong to DanteShindo!
Ashi: There's a warning this time because of Aschlyn's mouth. She will be cursing a LOT this time.
Aschlyn: Hey! Anyway, now on with the story!
Chapter 12
"So let me get this straight, YOU'RE my conscious; the same ass-hole who's been insulting me in my head every chance she got?" I said, obviously annoyed at the outcome.
Not only did I get my side sliced brutally opened by Mikame AGAIN, but this bastard that's supposed to be me is nodding at me with a smug grin on her face.
"Ugh, I swear to Jashin, what did I do to deserve this bakayaro?" I mumbled while sitting in the dark corridor of my conscious room.
"Geeze, no need to insult me like that. And here I went through all the trouble to get you here so that you could see your beloved bro again." (her temporary name) said while grinning and I flinched.
This is something I never told anyway, but my brother and I have a special mental link; Even though we're seven years apart in age. Huh, I guess the sudden teleportation (getting obviously hit by a truck) knocked the connection out of balance.
"'How the heck did I repair it?' Well it was simple! All I had to do was to wait for a point where your emotions were at overdrive! The encounter with Asch the Bloody helped trigger it!" said which made my eye twitch.
"Whatever." I mumbled while closing my eyes, opening the mental link to my brother.
"… … … Hello?" I heard a semi-deep voice say as my heart practically flipped in happiness.
"Nii-San! I finally got a hold of you!" I shouted in happiness, glad that I was able to speak to my brother once more.
When I opened my eyes, I was still in the labyrinth, but and a man with light blond hair styled like Kratos Aurion's, a black collar, a blue jacket with a strange fire symbol on it, baggy black pants, black glasses, and barefooted was there. When he opened his eyes, you could tell that they were a piercing ice blue, just like mine. Though, the first thing he did when he saw me was that he punched me in the face.
"You…..idiot! Just what the hell happened to you? You've been gone for almost three months you little redheaded bastard of a sister!" he yelled as he pulled me up by the collar of my jacket.
Oh yeah…he's pissed. He's usually stoic and quiet, but when something pisses him off, like me or his girlfriend, or our family getting hurt or threatened, you'll wish you were dead from his wrath. I remember one time he got stabbed in the stomach by Mikame, causing a fatal wound, but he was fine after a few weeks! No wonder we're called the bloody princess and immortal seraph combo!
"Ittai, I didn't mean it on purpose! I still don't know myself about how I got here!" I yelled while flipping up to my feet and holding him in place, besides that fact that he was as tall as Pein.
All of a sudden, Baltheir pulled me into a strong hug, something he subtly does unless he was with his girlfriend or me.
"Damn it….don't do anything like that ever again! I didn't want to lose you….not you too!" He said as I felt tears fall from his face.
I didn't know he was so sad…I wish I knew before…nii-san….
"Oy, Bal-Bal, when she wakes p and you leave, could you tell everyone on your side of the world what REALLY happened to Aschlyn?" surprisingly asked which made me look at her in surprise.
"Right. So Luka, where exactly are you? From the way your clothes look, you're not on Earth anymore." Baltheir said, making my eyes widen (geeze, all sorts of surprise today, huh?).
Wow, I must've really worried him if he's THIS talkative.
"Well, if you can tell, I'm on Auldrant-Home of Luke and friends!" I said half jokingly.
"Why do I have a feeling that you're going to be horribly teased when Jade finds out your nickname?" Baltheir said as he facepalmed.
"Too late, Ashton and Katsuya are here too. Along with….." I said as I clenched my fists tightly.
Baltheir's eyes narrowed into a glare since he knew exactly what I was talking about….WHO I was talking about….
"Don't worry about it bro! I'll be fine! I swore an oath that day and I plan to keep it!" I said while grinning.
Baltheir smiled a little before ruffling my hair (is this a habit upon overprotective, stoic older brothers?).
"Beware then, imouto. I may find a way to come after you to that world. So don't die out there." Baltheir said while grinned evilly.
"Well, I think it's about time you head back to the real world, see ya!" said as she abruptly pushed me off the cliff while I was screaming…And then woke up.
"Woah! That the flying f*** happened?" I yelled and then winced when I felt my injury stretch.
As soon as I found out that somebody was carrying me, I looked up at my "caretaker" and saw Luke. Well, at least I thought I did. Instead of the redheaded idiot apprentice, it was none other than Asch the freaking Bloody! I then did the next thing any logical, sane person would do- scream.
"WHAT THE FUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" I yelled when Asch dropped me on the ground.
"Damn it! What the hell are you screaming for you idiot!" Asch yelled back at me while I stood up with a slight stagger.
"Idiot? You're calling me an idiot? Why the hell did you kidnap me you f***er!" I cursed while pointing my finger at him.
We were obviously on the Tartarus heading for Chesedonia, but that didn't matter due to the fact that Asch and I were busy shouting and cursing at each other.
"Wow Asch, who knew you were the type to yell at girls?" Sync said while walking up to the both of us.
I scowled and refused to say anything while Asch roughly grabbed my arm and threw me in a vacant room with everything but my weapons.
"You bastard! Give me back my weapons!" I yelled while Asch simply sneered at me.
"Just be glad with what I left you. We'll be at the Zao Ruins in five days after we stop at the Desert Oasis.
Asch said and walked out of the room.
What he didn't know was that I was grinning the whole time after he left while taking off my jacket, revealing my black tank-top and a black collar with a tag on it.
"Hey Guy, did you hear all of that?" I said while pressing onto a small button on the collar.
"Every last word Asch. Are you okay out there?" Guy asked from the communicator installed there on the collar.
"Yeah, hold on; Purify within the song of light, Healing Sonata!" I said as I felt my injury stitch and close up from the arte.
"Like the idiot God-general said, we'll all be at the Zao Ruins in about five days. That's when I'll break away and get back to you guys." I said and switching off the communication, telling him that I'll keep in contact.
I snickered to myself while taking out my iPod touch (Which was officially and grudgingly named Luke the Hedgefox) and turned it to the song "Replica" by Megpoid Gumi.
"Hey, Nii-san, are you there?" I asked mentally as I heard the said blond yawn, along with a few growls from .
"What's up? And that the song "Replica" playing in the background?" Baltheir said while adjusting the glasses on his face.
"Yes, and I have a devioussss idea." I thought while hissing evilly, even when I felt my brother shiver slightly.
"Why do I have a bad feeling I'm going to regret this, imouto?" He said while I simply laughed, even as the song switched to "Lost Destination" By Len Kagamine.
"I think that its time the Oracle Knights and the God-generals learn about one of the major reasons why I was in both the Akatsuki division and the Ad Libitum division of the "Tales Of" Club and "Naruto" Club." I laughed evilly as I began my plan to horribly embarrass the strongest people in the Order of Lorelei.
Well, that's it for chapter 12 again! Next will be chapter 13- the unlucky chapter! XD
Fun Fact: Aschlyn was born on May 16 and is a Taurus.
Character song: Goodbye by SR-71 (Aschlyn Strider)
I don't know why, but I wanted to put up some random fun facts about the group for this. So with each new chapter, there'll be a fun fact and a character song for each character. Also, I'm planning on putting up a poll for whether Aschlyn's brother, Baltheir should come in or not (personally, if he does come in, he'll have a crucial part later on in the fan-fic)
Anyway, that's it for now, Ja-ku ne!
