The gang arrived at Elder and were greeted by the merchants of the town, Hoffman was the first one that spoke. "Did you get Wally?" The gang shook their head but with a smile.
"We didn't get him but he won't be coming for a long time!" Said Elsword giving a grin towards the merchants which only cheered.
"You didn't catch him but you drove him away, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts." Said Hoffman with a smile until he saw Add wounded.
"You better heal yourself Add, Echo could you go help him?" Asked Hoffman only to notice that she was already giving Add a potion.
"Drink this, you'll feel much better." Said Echo concerned but with a smile.
"Thanks Echo, i owe you one." Said Add while drinking slowly the potion.
"Were did Wally go?" Asked Hoffman to the gang but they didn't really know.
"I think i know where he went." Said Add much better than before, he took his PHC and made a holographic screen appear showing a map. "This is where we are, before Wally could escape i putted a transmitter on the nasod he flew, since i could only map Elder i can assume he went towards this direction." Pointed Add.
"Isn't that Bethma village? That's a two day walk, half a day if you went with the cobo services." Noted Hoffman.
"A two day walk? Piece of cake." Boasted Elsword wanting to walk.
"Can you tell us more about Bethma village?" Asked Rena.
"I can but for now let's celebrate your return, everyone was waiting for you." Said Hoffman pointing to the center of the village that had a banquet ready for them.
"So much food!" Said Elsword and Chung in unison.
"I guess we can rest a bit, i mean we can't overwork ourselves." Said Add while walking to get some food.
"What are you three waiting for? Come on relax a little bit. Its going to take at least a full day for Wally to reach Bethma so might as well party before we go." Said Add to the girls while giving them a smile, they shortly joined the guys.
The party was going pretty smoothly, Elsword and Chung sometimes pulled a prank or two but they were harmless. "Add are you sure your okay?" Asked Ara concerned.
"I'm fine Ara, go out there and party with them ill join you shortly." Said Add while sitting on a bench, Ara wanted to stay but then went towards the girls. "(I admit I'm not fine but i can't ruin their fun and i can see that my creations suffered major damage, i need to repair them later)" Thought Add to himself.
"Add?" Asked Echo a little concerned.
"What is it Echo?" Asked Add quickly leaving his train of thought and giving her a smile, which made Echo's concern fade away.
"Come with me! I want to talk with the rest of them with you!" Said Echo wanting to meet the rest of the gang. Add got up and walked towards the gang with Echo beside him.
"So what are you guys talking about?" Asked Add towards the gang.
"Oh nothing much, why is Echo with you?" Asked Chung confused.
"Oh right, i wanted to introduce Echo to the rest of the gang since you and Ara already knew about her." Noted Add.
"Hello everyone, I'm the town alchemist nice to meet you." Said Echo giving a small bow.
"Hello Echo I'm Aisha, that's Rena and that Cherry head is Elsword." Introduced Aisha only to get a glare from Elsword.
"Nice to meet all of you, Chung how's the disfrozen capsule?" Asked Echo.
"Their great! I can't believe that a simple mix of ingredients could become so powerful!" Said Chung appreciate of Echo's help before.
"That's what alchemist do, even though that was an accident on my part." Said Echo scratching her cheek a bit.
"A-aaaadddddd~" Said Eun while embracing him.
"Eun could you not do it for one day?" Asked Add annoyed.
"Come on! I fought with you guys i deserve a reward!" Said Eun pouting.
"*Sigh*...Fine." Said Add while petting her head and scratching her ears making the gang watch them a bit weirdly.
"Oh...that feels nice..." Said Eun with a delightful face.
"This is what i have to put with." Said Add still annoyed but giving her a smile none of the less.
"That's not fair Add!" Said Rena with Aisha beside her. "If you pet her you have to pet us!" Said Rena while pointing to both of them.
"Ill give two reasons that i won't pet you. One your not an animal spirit and two this is the only thing i can do or ill face something that i don't want." Pointed Add out making Rena curse something out of her breath.
"I can pet you." Said Elsword bluntly only to get a kick to the stomach. "W-why?" He asked before dropping.
"Add is funnier to mess with than the both of you." Said Rena looking at them and pointing at Add.
"This is what i have to face everyday." Said Add to Echo who could only pat his back.
Some time later Add started to notice that some kids were watching his dynamos with awe. "Mister what are this things?" Asked a kid.
"Those are my creation, don't mess with them okay?" Said Add giving them a smile, but the kids didn't listen and tried to grab them. "You won't be able to catch them they will just float higher." Said Add laughing a little bit, but then the kids did something they shouldn't, they took Add's eye patch. "Hey give that back!" Yelled Add while closing his left eye to not fright them.
"No we won't~"Said the kid mockingly. "Grr...dynamo go get my eye patch back." Ordered Add but they didn't more. "Dynamo?" Asked Add signaling one to land on his hand. "Oh no...your almost fried! I need to repair you when we go back to the inn." Said Add concerned about his creation. "Nasod armor confirm your status." Ordered Add.
"Status: Slightly damaged but easily repairable." Said his creation making Add's tense go down. "Good...at least your well." Said Add. "Hey kid give me my eye patch back!" Yelled Add again but the kid pretended not to listen. "Okay then i have to take it from you." Said Add grabbing his eye patch through a dimensional gate without realizing he opened his left eye.
"M-mister...W-what's wrong with your e-eye?" Stuttered a kid afraid, only then Add realized his eye was open and quickly putted his eye patch.
"Don't worry its just my curse." Said Add walking away from them and going back to the gang.
Hours passed and the sun was already setting. "Guess we should go back to the inn." Said Elsword a little disappointed.
"Yeah we need to get ready either way for tomorrow." Said Rena in a calm manner while some kids were whispering to their parents something.
"Mommy...look at that mister, he has a dark eye." Said one of the kids pointing at Add.
"Don't go near him." Said a mother while looking at Add.
"Guess that would happen eventually." Said Add with a sad smile. "I'm going on ahead to repair my stuff, see you guys later." Said Add walking towards the inn.
"Add..." Said Ara concerned.
After Add went inside the inn he went towards his room. "Dynamos lay on the bed." Ordered Add which they followed his orders. "You too nasod armor." The nasod armor did the same. "Its time for me to repair you." Said Add opening up his dynamos, some wires were shot up and the magnet field was instable. "So that's the problem." Said Add replacing the wires and stabilizing the field. "Now your turn armor." Add opened his armor and saw that the space and time flow circuit was slightly damaged. "I just need to replace that..." Said Add summoning a circuit and replacing the old one. "Dynamos, nasod armor status report." Ordered Add.
"Status report concluded: all systems fully operational." Both creations said in unison.
"Thank El that it wasn't that serious..." Said Add with a relief without noticing someone was in his room.
"Gotcha!" Said Eun on top of him on the floor.
"Eun what are you doing here?" Asked Add in a calm manner trying to not panic.
"Well Ara was concerned about you, so i took her place and came checking on you." Said Eun still on top of him. "What luck! Your nasod creations are down! I finally got you where i want you to be." Said Eun seductively.
"Eun please get off of me." Said Add trying to keep himself still cool.
"Come on...i locked the door so its just you and me." Said Eun on his ear.
"Correction its you, me and Ara. I want to hear on her part what she thinks." Said Add pushing Eun a little away from his face.
"Fine..." Said Eun giving Ara her place, realizing that she's on top of Add she began to blush.
"W-what!? Eun why did you change!?" Stuttered Ara blushing madly and embarrassed.
"Now Ara i need to ask you. Do you want to do this?" Asked Add waiting for her response.
"..." Ara remained silent until Eun took her place again.
"Looks like she can't answer you, so ill give you mine which is yes!" Said Eun excited and getting close to Add.
"Please don't." Begged Add trying to escape her grasp.
"Your not getting away." Said Eun grabbing both his arms.
"Dynamo!" Yelled Add but they were still recharging. "Crap...Stop Eun!" Yelled Add which made Eun flinch a bit.
"You don't want me?" Asked Eun dropping her ears.
"Eun what is my goal?" Asked Add towards the fox spirit.
"Isn't your goal to go back in time?" Asked Eun that still hasn't grasped his meaning.
"What do people do when they have a goal like that?" Asked Add again.
"They go back and st-" Eun finally realized what Add was trying to say. "Stay there..." Eun was now sad knowing his friend will someday leave.
"You finally realized...ill be gone." Said Add also sad.
"But until then you'll stay with us right?" Asked Eun trying to keep her spirits up.
"Of course, why would i ever leave you guys?" Said Add with a smile without realizing that Eun was kissing him. "!" Eun done the thing Add didn't want to do.
"*Knock*knock* Hey Add have you seen Ara? We looked around the inn but we didn't find her, is she with you?" Asked Chung which made Eun break the kiss and turned to Ara.
"Y-yeah I-i'm here." Stuttered Ara for what Eun made her do.
"Oh okay, we need to prepare for tomorrow morning so don't take too long." Informed Chung while walking away.
"A-ara c-could you get off of m-me?" Asked Add blushing while looking away.
"A-ah y-yes!" Said Ara while getting off Add.
"Well that was certanly something that i wasn't expecting." Said Add while getting up and scratching the back of his head. "You better go prepare your stuff, tomorrow morning we need to go to Bethma." Said Add trying to not look nervous.
"Y-yeah s-see you later." Said Ara still blushing while leaving his room.
"...Fuck me..." Said Add while looking down trying to process the new information in his head. "I hope that this doesn't repeat during our trip..." Said Add while preparing his stuff for tomorrow.
Ara's 3rd person p.o.v
Ara was still blushing while getting inside her room. "Eun what did you make me do!?" Yelled Ara towards the fox.
"I'm sorry Ara, i guess i was in the moment!" Said Eun with trying to sound calm but failing.
"Why did you kissed him!? Why!?" Asked Ara towards the fox that was blushing. -(Only Ara can see Eun blush)-
"Kiss?" Asked Aisha with Rena behind her.
"(Oh no.)" Thought Ara to herself.
"We are in trouble..." Said Eun while the girls were narrowing their eyes.
"What did you do?" Asked Rena calmly towards a frightened Ara.
"Eun...kissed Add." Said Ara which hit the girls to the core.
"WHAT!?" Said the two in unison not believing that Eun did that.
"Why did you do that!?" Asked Aisha furious.
"Did you want to kiss him?" Asked Eun in a monotone voice.
"I...yes..." Said both girls blushing.
"Then what are you waiting for?" Asked Eun curious.
"It needs to be at the right time and mood!" Said Rena puffing her cheeks.
"Well i kissed him when he didn't had no one around and his creations were down." Clarified Eun.
"Lets go Rena we'll make him fall for us and not force him!" Said Aisha leaving the room with Rena behind her.
Add's 3rd person p.o.v
Add finished packing his stuff for the trip to Bethma and now is checking if he has everything. "Tent, check. Food and water, check. Snacks along the way, check. El shards for power, check. Okay I'm good to go." Said Add while storing his stuff in his PHC.
"*Knock*Knock* Hey Add you there?" Asked Aisha from the other side of his door.
"(Shit! Forgot that Eun would tell them.)" Thought Add to himself while opening the door looking and the magician. "Hey Aisha how can i help you?" Asked Add trying to sound calm.
"What Eun said is true? Did you kissed her?" Asked Aisha with worried eyes.
"She kissed me when i dropped my guard..." Said Add disappointed with himself.
"Did you kissed her against your will?" Asked Aisha again with the same eyes.
"Pretty much...But i tried to escape but to no avail." Clarified Add knowing she wouldn't buy it anyway.
"Okay if you didn't want to kiss her that's good enough for me." Said Aisha which made Add surprised that she would buy it.
"Well i wasn't expecting for you t-"
"However! Me and Rena will sleep in your tent as payback." Said Aisha with pointing at Rena beside her.
"(I knew it was too good to be true...)" Thought Add. "Just sleep in my tent? No whacking on my head, no punishment just sleep?" Asked Add admired that it was just that.
"We won't let you sleep that much with us around~" Said Rena teasing Add.
"(Nice knowing you sleep...)" Thought Add to himself. "Fine..." Said Add while hugging the two. "Don't expect me to sleep anyway." Said Add to both their ears making the girls blush, he then when closed his door and made sure to bring a bigger tent.
"I haven't read any data since i came here. Might as well read it now." Said Add while making a looking at the data he collected on his PHC, took him about one hour to read everything. "...We grew a lot." Said Add having a smile on his face. "Nobody can stop us if we stick together, but who's the strongest one on the party?" Asked Add to himself, everyone was very powerful right now so he couldn't really tell. "Well i guess i have to wait to see." Said Add while lying in his bed closing his eyes.
Dream
Darkness, as far as you can see only darkness is there. "Where am i?" Asked Add walking around aimlessly. "Am i dreaming?" He continued walking aimlessly until he saw a small light in the distance. He walked towards it as it became bigger and bigger, when he touched it he was in his house with his mother outside. "Mother!" He ran outside where he saw his mother with her white long hair. "Mother is...is that you?" Asked Add touching her shoulder from behind.
"Add..." The figure spoke.
"Mother!" Add said happily looking at her to see her smile. "I found you..." He started crying.
"Live Add...live..." Said the figure.
"Mother...?" He said to nothing again. "A memory? Why? Why does this dream harm me?" He said again to the abyssal darkness around him, another small light appears from afar he walks through it and experienced again. "Why!? What did i do to deserve this!?" He yelled angrily towards nothing. "When will this nightmare end?" He said crying on the spot, then he felt something warm around him someone was embracing him. "Who are you?" He asked but got no answer nor did he need it, the warm feeling of someone hugging him made him forget the nightmare and relaxed while smiling with that person embracing him.
Aisha 3rd person p.o.v
Aisha was in her room preparing her stuff but it took her too long to prepare so it was now late at night. "I wonder if Add is done with his stuff?" Asked to herself only to walk towards his door and open it to see him asleep now. "He must of done it a few hours ago." She said while noticing something, Add wasn't wearing his eye patch and she saw a tear flow down his cheek. "Your crying?" She said silently but heard him murmuring saying.
"Mother..." This made Aisha concerned so she shut the door silently and laid herself in his bed hugging him, this made the tears stop flowing and made him smile.
"Don't worry Add...I'm here you don't need to be sad." Was the last thing she said before sleeping with him the rest of the night.
