The Holy Sword
Chapter Eleven: The Klessirpemdo
Dalkia is burning in flames. Sasuke looked at the Carriage's window as he can see some corpses of Dalkia soldiers devoured in flames. Sakura looked Sasuke happily.
"You must be really worried on Abelia…" Sakura said.
Sasuke faced towards Sakura. "Of course; even though Abelia left the unit, she is still a member of this unit…" He replied.
Eurydice smiled and nods her head. "I just hope she's okay."
Lumaria stands up and went towards Sasuke. "Sasuke-kun, I'm just wondering… who's Abelia-san?" She asked.
Sasuke smiled and chuckled. "She's the sharpest woman in the Parousia Military Academy. She became a member of this unit too but Emperor Strife ordered her to destroy Dalkia herself." Sasuke replied.
Lumaria smiled and faced at the window. Suddenly, the horses stopped walking as they reached Dalkia's forest, which has still a few more strongholds. Sasuke looked at the window and saw a lady with golden curly sides hairstyle. Sasuke gasped and went down the carriage.
"It's Abelia!" Sasuke told them. Eurydice smiled and proceeded nest to him. The others just proceeded after her.
As they reached outside, Abelia was panting really hard and she looks quite injured. Girardot went down his horse and walked towards Abelia. Sasuke and Eurydice ran towards Abelia while the others just looked around the place.
Lumaria sighed and glared at Abelia sternly. 'That must be Abelia-san…' She thought.
"Hey, Abelia! Are you alright?" Eurydice asked.
Abelia stands up slowly and faced towards Girardot. She breathes deeply and pants repeatedly. "T-The capital in front of me… and I don't know what to do… Onhent Dalkia… Roin…"
Girardot smiled. "Save your thanks to Sasuke. He just told us to come here and see you." He said proudly.
Abelia blushed shyly and faced towards Sasuke. "General Girardot… Sasuke… I… I never asked of you… to… to help me…" She said.
Sasuke smiled and held her hand. "You don't have to say that, Abelia. You're still a part of the unit. We just can't leave you behind." He said.
Eurydice grabs the medical kit from Alyanna's hands and went towards Abelia. "Well, I'll just take care of her, Sasuke." Eurydice said.
Abelia went towards Eurydice and smiled at her. "Eurydice, I just miss you so much. Ugh, even my units can't do it… Notus and Ishtar are both sent back to Grandall again because of their critical conditions…" She said.
"So you're now alone on taking on the last strongholds of Dalkia here?" Girardot asked.
Abelia sighed and nods her head. "Yes, they are only five strongholds left until we reach Revless…" Abelia said.
Sasuke smirked and looked at the strongholds. "Well, Abelia will just stay here and take a rest with Eurydice then as we take care of these…" Sasuke said.
"Jinkai and I will also stay here with these two ladies. We'll be waiting for you here in the main base." Girardot said as he puts the giant stick with a Grandall flag on it.
Sasuke smiled and nods his head. "Okay, then… General Girardot…" Sasuke replied as they proceeded to the first stronghold.
Unlike the other missions, the strongholds are arranged diagonally. There are 4 major strongholds and a main stronghold. Even though it looks like there are only a few enemies, this mission is not as easy as Sasuke thought. They have to occupy the first stronghold to arrive to the second stronghold.
Meanwhile, at the main stronghold, Luna is standing and holding a radio phone. A squeaky voice suddenly spoke from the radio phone.
"Ready, guys?" It was Aege, as Luna expected.
"So these guys just don't want to give up, huh?" Heal-do replied. Luna smirked as she knew her unit is ready to fight them.
Lupi smirked and held her lance. "It's been a while since we've had the challenge." She said.
Luna presses a button on the radio phone and spoke. "This is the final battle, guys! You who control all creation! Draw out your true swords!" She told them.
They all raised their new weapons inside their strongholds. There is one lady in one stronghold, and unlike their previous encounters with Grandall, their swords look more powerful.
Sasuke opens the door of the first stronghold. "Well, who wants to go inside and defeat the enemy?" Sasuke asked them.
Leraje smiled and bowed towards him. "I'll fight now. This time, I promise I could help." He said. Leraje walked towards the stronghold's entrance.
Lumaria faced towards Sasuke. "Um… Sasuke-kun… I'll just accompany him as a Halteese soldier." Lumaria said.
Sasuke nods his head. "Do as you wish, Lumaria. If Leraje loses, you'll just fight the enemy." He said, handing over Lumaria the Grandall flag.
Sakura smiled. "Good Luck to you two." Sakura said.
Lumaria smiles and proceeds inside.
Inside the stronghold, Leraje can feel fire burning. Leraje sighed and wipes off the sweats on his forehead.
Suddenly, a red-haired lady with heavy armor appeared. She is holding a different kind of lance, the Blazecleaver.
Lumaria gasped in fear and moved away from Leraje.
"I am Lupi of the Klessirpemdo! I am the fires of hell. You won't stand against my sword." She said as she looks at Leraje sternly.
Leraje smirked and drew out his Fallen Antler Rapier. "Is there no other solution to this?"
Lupi's lance started to be covered in flames. Leraje gasped and moved right to dodge Lupi's first attack. Leraje kicks Lupi's back, making her fall down on the ground.
Lupi stands up quickly and attacks him. Leraje screams in pain. Lupi tried to grab Leraje's hand for a throw but Leraje used his rapier to dodge the throw attack.
Leraje went away from Lupi, making her confused. "So, are you going to give up now?"
Suddenly, Leraje stabs Lupi's back, making her sputter out blood and fall down the ground. "You should watch your back…" Leraje said.
Lupi gasped and looked at the window sadly. "L-Luna… forgive me…" She said as she loses consciousness.
Lumaria sighed in relief as the place stopped burning in flames. Leraje smiled and bows down. "You can raise the Grandall flag now. Sasuke and the others can now proceed." Leraje said.
Lumaria chuckles and went towards the flagpole. She looked at the Grandall flag she was holding and raised it gently.
Suddenly, Sasuke came with the others. Leraje smiled and went towards him. Sakura looked towards Lupi's unconscious body.
"This girl is quite tough. What shall we do to them?" Leraje asked.
Sasuke smiled as two Grandall soldiers came. "We just came to arrest them as Strife ordered us to." A Grandall soldier said.
The other one grabs Lupi's body away towards their carriage. Sasuke sighed. Strife is really changing.
Aeneas grabs his lance and looked at Sasuke. "Riese and I will just proceed in the next stronghold. We'll just raise the Grandall flag when we're done." He said.
Riese smiled and grabs Aeneas' hand. Sasuke nods his head. "Okay, then. We're counting on both of you." He said.
The next stronghold is surrounded with water. Aeneas and Riese know that this is another effect of the Klessirpemdo's powers. The floor is slippery, as if it is covered in ice.
Aeneas looked at his lance. "I'll fight her, Riese. You'll just stay here." Aeneas said.
Suddenly, a blue-haired girl appeared. Unlike their previous encounters, she's wearing a better dress and she even has her true powerful weapon, the Leviathan.
"Hey, I have the same weapon as her, Aeneas. I'll just defeat her." Riese said.
Heal-so smirked and showed off her UGLY face to the two. "I am Heal-do of the Klessirpemdo. I am the water of origin. Your sword lacks conviction. You cannot defeat me! Well, I rather fight the guy with the lance. He looks stronger anyway." She said as she plays with her swords.
'Heheh, I'll beat this guy easily since he's slower than that little girl there.' Heal-do thought.
Aeneas sighed and held his lance to prepare for the fight. "Okay, then." He replied.
Heal-do chuckles and rolled her body to attack Aeneas quickly. Aeneas screams in pain and his body slides quickly near the edge. Aeneas quickly goes up but then Heal-do ran to attack him again. Aeneas falls down on the water, which made him lose the battle. The water looks very deep, which made Riese worried.
"You, what have you done?!" Riese asked furiously.
"What, now I beat that pathetic boyfriend of yours then I shall make you drown in the water too!" Heal-do said in her little squeaky voice.
Riese grabs Aeneas unconscious body on the water and lays his body down in the floor of ice to make him safe. Heal-do started making faces.
"You think just because I have the same weapon as yours, you can defeat me easily, you ugly, annoying, random-named idiot!" Riese said as she grabs her wave swords.
Heal-do gasped and glared at her furiously. "Grr… Heal-do is a pretty name! ARRGH!"
Riese smirked and went towards her back to attack. Heal-do screams like a baby. Then Riese moved her sword vertically, which make her stab Heal-do's abdomen and make Heal-do fly in mid air.
Riese grabs Heal-do's body and attacks her head. Heal-do feels pain in her head, which make her touch her head in pain. Riese chuckled as she sees another opening. Suddenly, Riese finally stabs heal-do's chest, making her cough up blood and lose consciousness.
Riese sighs in relief and grabs the Grandall flag. She looked at it happily and raises it on the flag pole. She went towards Aeneas to see how he is doing now.
Suddenly, Aeneas' eyes started to open again. His whole body is drenched in water. He can see Riese looking at her happily.
"I… defeated her, Aeneas. And you're okay too. I was so worried that I didn't even have a scratch from her!" Riese smiles.
Aeneas never saw her smile like that before. It's like, too beautiful… or too cute. "Oh, that's good." Aeneas rises up his body. Then he sees Sasuke and the others walking towards them.
"Is Aeneas okay?" Sasuke asked.
Riese faced towards Sasuke and nods her head. Leraje looked at Heal-do's unconscious body, which is being held by the Grandall soldier again.
"This girl is going in the dungeons with her friend. Strife really wants them to be in prison." The other Grandall told Sasuke.
Leraje moves his glasses and faced towards Sasuke. "You know what I think I noticed something from the enemies today…"
Sasuke looked towards him. "What?"
"Well, the first enemy is using fire to defeat me, while this girl is using water to defeat them. It's like they are controlling the four elements of creation… First, fire… Then water, it can be said that the next enemies are using the powers of wind and earth."
Lumaria raised an eyebrow. "How can you be so sure? There are five enemies, not just four…"
"Yes, there are five enemies… but only four are using those powers. Probably the last one is the leader… or the heart." Leraje replied.
Riese smiles and grabs Aeneas' hand to stand up. Sasuke smirked. "Now I know who I am going to fight again, for the third time… It's Luna again. Argh… Can she ever give up?" Sasuke said.
"Don't be too arrogant again, Sasuke. I notice that these girls are using their true swords. And they are stronger now…" Riese said.
Leraje and Lumaria nod their heads. Sakura smiles and went towards Alyanna. "Well, Sakura has something to ask, Sasuke." Alyanna said.
Sasuke smiled and went towards her. "What is it?"
"Um… can I defeat the next enemy?" Sakura asked shyly.
Sasuke chuckled and held Sakura's right hand. "Of course you can. Alyanna will go with you." Sasuke said as he hands Alyanna the Grandall flag.
"Just raise this Grandall flag to let us know you're done." Sasuke said.
Alyanna and Sakura nod their heads and proceeded. Ailian smirked and looked at the two. "Well, that means Meiga and I will go to the next one after those two, right?"
Sasuke nods his head and smiles happily. "Yes. I'll take care of the main boss. I know she wants her revenge anyway." Sasuke said.
Inside the stronghold, Alyanna and Sakura can feel a very string breeze blowing. "So Leraje was right. These enemies are using the elements of the world… This enemy must have been using wind…" Alyanna said.
Sakura smiled. Suddenly, a girl with short, yellow-green hair appears. She looks familiar for Alyanna, since she fought her before. This time, as Alyanna notices it, she is wearing more revealing assassin-like clothes and she is holding a weird kind of Kunais.
"Watch out, Sakura. This girl is quite fast…" Alyanna whispered towards her.
"I am Elua of the Klessirpemdo. I am the wind of creation. I can not lose against you." Elua said.
Sakura scratches her head and grabs her Halberd. "This is gonna be great!"
Elua forms Ninjutsu seals and fire comes out from her mouth. Sakura moves left to dodge it and attack her back part, making her scream in pain.
Sakura moves her Halberd like a paintbrush and repeatedly attacks Elua, making her paralyzed in pain and fall down on the ground.
The wind is like moving her away from her, but luckily her long-ranged weapon still reached her to attack her again. Elua screamed in pain.
After standing up from the ground, Elua jumps like a ninja and tries to hit Sakura. Unfortunately, Sakura crouches. Sakura hits Elua's back, making her scream in pain and fall in the ground unconscious.
"I'm sorry, Luna… I… I can't hold them back…" Elua said.
Sakura breathes deeply and wipes off the sweats from her forehead as she holds her Hyup do gently. "That girl is quite tough."
"Yep…" Alyanna went towards the flagpole and raised the flag quickly.
Suddenly, the group finally went inside. Sasuke saw Elua's unconscious body being carried by the Grandall soldiers.
"Three down, two to go…" Sasuke said.
Sakura went towards Sasuke and hugged him gently. Lumaria looked at her in envy.
Lumaria headed towards them. "This time is not good for public display of affection, Sakura-san…" Lumaria said in envy.
Sakura blushes. "Oh, sorry… hehe… I just feel safe with him…" Sakura said.
Sasuke smiled and held Sakura's shoulder. "It's okay, Lumaria… we're not in a very difficult mission." Sasuke said.
Ailian smirked and headed towards the next stronghold. Meiga smiled towards Sasuke and waved his hand. "We shall be going now, Sasuke…" Meiga said.
Sasuke waves his hand back. "Okay. Just raise the flag when you're done, okay?"
The next stronghold is really strange for Ailian. "The girl here must be using earth then…" Ailian said as she draws out her sickle.
Meiga nodded his head. They can feel a little earthquake from the ground and it gets stronger as they hear louder footsteps.
A little girl in pigtails and heavy armor appeared. She has a ragged cape and has a childish face…
"I am Aege of the Klessirpemdo! I am the earth of foundation. You shall not pass!" She said.
Ailian smirked and her sickle became longer. "At least you're not gonna run away… little girl." Ailian said.
Aege ran towards her and attacks her but Ailian crouches to dodge it. Ailian extends her sickle and ties Aege's body. Aege screams in pain as she gets hit by Ailian's punch.
Aege stands up quickly but then Ailian ties her sickle around Aege's neck to strangle her. Aege coughs out blood as Ailian releases her.
Ailian went away from her and extends her sickle to attack her abdomen vertically. Aege screams in pain and falls down on the ground.
After Aege gets up, Ailian extends her sickle and ties Aege's body again. This time, Ailian made Aege fly up in the air with her sickle and quickly sends her down.
"You… shall… not… pass…" Aege said weakly.
As Ailian expected, Aege screams in pain and loses consciousness. Meiga went towards the flagpole quickly to raise the Grandall flag.
"Well, that means this mission is going to be finished sooner…" Ailian said.
Sasuke and the others finally came. The Grandall soldiers came again and grab Aege's body.
"Four down, one to go… Luna, you just hate to lose, huh?" Sasuke whispered.
Sakura smiled. "So who will accompany you this time, Sasuke?" She asked.
Lumaria sighed and hoped it was her time. Sasuke held Sakura's face and chuckles. "Of course… you'll be coming with me…" Sasuke said sweetly.
Lumaria slaps her forehead and glared at Sakura furiously. Sasuke and Sakura went towards the next stronghold.
"I'll go now with her, guys. Just wait for us at the main stronghold." Sasuke said.
The two got away quickly. Alyanna smiled and jumps around the room. "Hehehe… Sasuke has a girlfriend… Hehehe…"
Ailian giggled. Lumaria's jaw dropped, since she never saw Ailian like that before…
"Don't be so ridiculous, Alyanna. Sasuke is just being nice to her…" Leraje said.
"Yeah, yeah… I know I can be so silly… hehe… Well, we shall be going now then. I know General Girardot is worried about us…" Alyanna replied.
"Okay, then… let's go." Aeneas said. The group went away and waited for Sasuke at the main stronghold. Everyone is counting on Sasuke… everyone counts on him to end this war… anyway, this war is almost over, since Dalkia has a few strongholds left…
As Sasuke and Sakura gets inside the stronghold, they can see waters surrounding the battle field. Luna is seating and looking at the sun.
Sakura just stayed behind while Sasuke went towards her. Luna stands up and faced towards him. Her weapon is really different… what's that sword?
"So you've come. This time, it will not be the same unlike our previous encounters, see can if you defeat…" She pointed that blue sword towards him. "…this sword!"
Sasuke drew out his blade and smirked. "Hmph. Don't get too cocky…" Sasuke said.
Luna jumps and kicks him off. Sasuke was hit quickly… that sword is making her strong… what is that? Sasuke stands up from the ground and moved left to dodge Luna's body roll attack.
Sasuke kicks her back, making her scream in pain and fall down on the ground. Sasuke kicks her feet as he wanted to remain Luna lying down on the ground. Sasuke stabs her back, making Luna scream again.
Luna stands up and glares at Sasuke furiously. "Bastard!" She twirls her sword to attack him but Sasuke used his sword to block that attack. Sasuke crouches down and attacks Luna's Abdomen, making her paralyzed and fall down on the ground again.
Sasuke smirked and finally stabs her chest. Luna gasped as she spits out blood.
Sakura headed towards the flagpole to raise the Grandall flag. Sasuke knew this mission will be over quick. Luna gets mad and punches the floor. She grabs that strange sword and hides it on her pocket.
Two Grandall soldiers came and grabs Luna's body. Luna started whining. "Why… Why can't I win?! No… Waaah!" As the Grandall soldiers carry her towards the carriage going back to Grandall, Luna suddenly loses consciousness.
Sasuke sighed and hides his sword again on his belt. Sakura went towards him. "So Strife just imprisoned them… Well, so we're heading to Dalkia's capital really soon." Sakura said.
Sasuke nods his head and went outside the stronghold. Sakura follows him. "Yes, Sakura… but we better Ask Abelia where can we go to reach Revless…" Sasuke said. Sakura nods her head. The two went back to the main stronghold, knowing that the group is waiting for them.
At the main stronghold…
"Sasuke-kun! You're back! I knew you can defeat that Luna-girl. You're so great and—" Lumaria's speech was cut by Ailian, who covers her mouth.
Sasuke went towards Abelia while Sakura just went towards Alyanna to tell what happened. Abelia looks better now. Eurydice was sitting on the carriage beside Abelia and Jinkai. Girardot was on his horse.
"Abelia, We'll be proceeding to Revless at noon." Sasuke said.
Abelia smiled and looked towards him. "Yes. Revless is just beyond this place. I just want to warn all of you that Revless has a lot of warriors." Abelia said.
"There's nothing to worry, Abelia. I'm sure we'll defeat them easily. I'm ready to fight Queen Aurelia…" Sasuke said.
Girardot chuckles and went towards Sasuke. "Yes, Sasuke. I know this war is going to be over soon… now who wants to eat some barbeque? We still have a lot of food inside the carriage!" Girardot said.
The entire unit cheered with joy. Another mission was complete again, and they reunite again with Abelia. But what is in store on Revless? Do Revless have strong or weak enemies?
TO BE CONTINUED…
A/N: Finally, this chapter is done… Sheesh, I even finished it in my own birthday today… well, the next chapter is based from Chronicle 12! I'm almost done on the first part of CotS.
