Chapter 7 : Darkness is Coming
Solica : Hello readers! Sorry for the long wait, the Battle Mage event in GC Indonesia is prevent me to type this chapter.
Aira : It's hard to use Battle Mage.
Solica : Yeah. Battle Mage charging MP reallllyyyy slowy. By the way, where is Elyce?
Blade : She's resting in her bed. You put many garlic in her food before right?
Solica : Oh! I remember. Serves her right I guess. Lol.
Aira : So that's why she passed out when we're eating...
Solica : Okay, we'll begin the story now. Enjoy!
The memories of the past
There's no way I can forget about it
Should I always keep it in my minds?
"Chaos Knuckle" Blade muttered as both of her hands covered with darkness aura.
"Darkness Magic? No... this one is different. What's that?" Aira thought while watching the hedgehog.
Blade suddenly disappeared from where she stand and then reappear in front of the golem's body.
"Haaaa!" She punch the golem's hard body multiple times with her ridiculous speed. Her attack resulted some cracked on it's body. The monster roared in pain and backed away.
"Not enough? Try this... Reckless Rolling!" The dasher circle her body and rolled so fast towards the golem. Her target is too slow to react and get caught by Blade's skill. Blade stop rolling as soon as her skill hit the monster, and she's back to standing position even thought it's not straight.
"Ugh... I feel sick... it really was a bad idea to use that skill" Blade nearly puke but manage to hold it, remembering Aira is watching her.
"Are you alright Blade?" The mage asked behind the rock where she's hiding.
"Yes, don't worry" The hedgehog walks toward Aira.
Surprisingly, the blue golem that already down because of Blade's skill, get up again and wants to land some punch to the dasher. The punch is so fast and Blade is too late to dodge it.
"Crap! I'm sure it was already dead!" The red dasher doesn't have any other option and she just defend herself helplessly with her hands.
DYNAMIC BURST!
A powerful blast send the blue golem flying and crushed it into tiny pieces when landing. A white haired man with a green sword standing at where the golem stood before.
Meanwhile at Sieghart group...
"Okay, let's get down" Sieghart take one step in the slide.
GRAMPS! Elesis shout while running towards Elyce and the rest of her group. The savior followed by her group too.
"Eles- Whoa!" The immortal slipped and fall down in the slippery slide, making a loud thud sound when landing.
"Is your ass okay Sieg?" Elyce asked while grinning.
"Yeah, it's okay. Wait... You're more concerned about my ass than my condition?"
"Yup! It's good to see your ass in a good state, better than seeing you healthy"
"I swear I'll torture you after this is over..." Said the Prime Knight in threatening tone.
"Just try" The vampire chuckled a bit.
"By the way, where's Aira?" Ronan asked, breaking the fight.
"Down there. Zero, May and Dio already went after her not too long ago before and Aira send her pet to inform us about her location" Mari point to the small ice fairy beside her.
"I'm Celcius, nice to meet you!"
"Aira's pet? That mean she's the one who eavesdropped us before, right?" Ryan glared at the ice fairy, followed by the rest of Chase.
"M... More importantly, we need to go to my mistress quickly! Let's go!" Celcius fly down quickly before anyone can reply.
"She's smart for a pet" Lire.
"I'm agree with you" Elesis replied.
Back to Aira's group...
"Ah! Zero! Ouchie..." Aira failed to stand up because her right ankle give her a sharp sting when she's trying to do it.
Zero heard Aira's voice and walk quickly towards the mage, ignoring Blade that still standing in her place.
"Did you get hurt?" The wanderer kneeling down beside Aira.
"I sprained my right ankle. It's not that serious, don't worry" The girl smiled, making the wanderer sighed in relief.
"Now, what's going on here?" Dio asked Blade as soon as he and May arrived.
"Well..."
Continue with Elesis group...
"There they are!" Ronan shout, seeing Dio and May chatted with someone that looks like a beast.
"Hey! Dio! May!" Elesis shouted loudly, making the two demon and the unknown beast person to notice her immediately.
"What's going on here? Looks like there is a fighting before..." Said Arme, seeing the blue golem pieces.
"May, explain it to them"
"Aww, why me? You can explain it to them too, Dio" May shrugged, but still explaining.
"Zero, can you help me up for a while? I want to examine that golem corpse for a while. Something is bothering me"
The white haired man become silent for a moment and then he nodded.
"Thanks... Eeeekkk!" Zero carried the blue mage in "Bride Style" He begin to walk towards the golem corpse, doesn't mind being stared by the other. Aira blushed really hard and she covered her red face with her hands.
"What they are doing? Wedding training?" Asked Elyce, still watching the couple.
"I never know they want to get married" Lass.
"Whoa! At last Zero take some step forward" Jin wipe his drool, thinking something dirty about them.
"Way to go Zero!" Amy cheered.
"Ahhhh! It's not like thatttt!" The water mage's face become deep red like a lobster.
"They are... couple?" Said Blade, confuse at the situation.
"Soon they will be a couple" May smirked.
"Noooo! Don't believe her!" Aira panicked.
"May... The explanation..."
"Geez... you ruined all the fun , Dio"
The female demon continued her explanation.
"Uhh.. you can stop now"
The wanderer followed and he stopped near the blue golem pieces. Aira begins to examine it carefully, there are a pool of black liquid on the floor.
"That's... Zero, let me down for a while"
Zero put the mage down slowly. Aira can stand, but one hand hold onto Zero's shoulder while the other carry her umbrella. She point her blue umbrella to the black liquid and chant something in low voice. The black liquid evaporated and disappeared without a trace.
"What are you doing?" Asked the man.
"Just... some kind of cleaning. Come on, let's join the others"
Aira carried by Zero again in the same style and walk to the rest of the Chase.
"That black liquid... Is she find me already?... I hope nothing bad's happened next time..." The water mage thought, as she fall asleep soon afterwards.
"How long are you gonna carry her like that Zero?" Elesis asked, getting annoyed by the way Zero carried Aira.
"She sprained her right ankle, so I carry her"
"But you can carry her in your back! Even Ronan never carry me in that "Bride Style"!" The red savior lost her temper.
"Is that suppose to be a compliment?" Ronan.
"Just think it that way and you'll be fine" Ryan patted his friend shoulder slightly.
"She sprained her ankle? Let me heal her" Arme approach the girl in Zero's arm, and begin to use her healing magic.
"How can she become so quiet?" Sieghart.
"She's sleeping..." The Battle Mage stopped her magic, finished healing Aira's ankle.
"Looks like she's comfortable in your arms Zero." Said Elyce, teasing the wanderer.
"What do you want to do now, Blade? Do you want to join us?" Dio asked the hedgehog.
"Well, I got lost here and already shout for a help countless time. No one came until I found you all. I guess I'll join you for now"
"So that weird sound is coming from you huh? Silly me..." Elesis feel relief by her information.
"Let's just go back to the castle. That stair can help us go up" Lire point to the stair behind the blue golem's corpse.
Everyone nodded and walk to the stair.
"Oh you're back already. How's the mission?" Knight Master asked the Grand Chase who just arrived at the castle.
"This girl is the one who makes that weird sound. She says that she wants to join us too" Elesis grab one of Blade's hand and pull her in front of the Knight Master.
"Hmmm... We need to talk to the queen. Follow me. The rest of you can rest in your room" The blond woman walked away and followed by the dasher.
"I'm going to put her in her room" Zero leave the Chase, stilll carrying Aira in his arms.
"I'll go with you" Dio followed the wanderer.
"What's wrong with them?" May confused by Dio and Zero weird attitude.
"Dunno. Maybe Dio get jealous at Zero?" Amy wondered.
"Or maybe Dio get jealous at Aira..." Elyce statement make the other stare her with are-you-crazy? look in their face.
"Dio is mine! And always will be mine!" The female demon shouted.
"Just kidding, don't get so angry May" The black haired girl chuckled.
"You..." The summoner give the vampire a sharp glare.
"Yeah, yeah. Let's get back to our room. I'm sleepy" Sieghart yawned. He steal a glace at Elyce and the girl replied with a smile.
No one replied but they walk to their room, sleeping.
Dio opens Aira's room and let Zero go in. The wanderer placed the sleeping girl in her bed carefully. He wants to get out from her room right away, but Aira's hand grabbed one of his hand.
"Umm... Do you want to leave me again?" The water mage talked in her sleep, still grabbing Zero's hand.
The Drakar hears Aira's word from the door, he catch the word "again" that makes him down to one conclusion.
Zero looks quiet shocked for a while. He come closer to Aira's ear and whispered something to her that makes her loosen her grip. The white haired man move her hand slowly and place it on her stomach. After that, he go out from the room and closed the door slowly.
"Zero, that's..."
"Let me explain it to you..."
"Excuse me, your majesty" The Knight Master knocked the throne room's door lightly and then open it.
"Oh, Katherine. Who's that?"
"She's founded by the Chase in the water tunnel near the town. She's the one who makes weird sound"
" I can tell you about that" Blade explained about what happened in the tunnel and her identity to the Knight Master and the queen.
"So you have nowhere to go and wants to join Grand Chase? Said Queen Selia.
"Yes, it's okay if you turn me down"
"No, no. I allowed you to join. You saved Aira, so you must be a good person"
"It's not that I save her because I want to, but it because she's... Never mind, at least now I have some place to stay" The red girl thought while rubbing her head.
"Welcome to the Grand Chase, Blade" Said the queen and the Knight Master.
"Thanks" Blade smiled a bit.
