Chapter 53

Assassin's POV

Already?

I opened my eyes again and found myself in the gold void, Yashin was waiting for me and he had a smile in his face.

"You went through with it Assassin, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't proud." He said as he patted my shoulder.

"It… just happened. It felt out of my control."

"Despite that, do you know that you've just signed a huge amount of responsibility? That girl and you do have a strong connection and it just continues to grow. But you must be careful…" Yashin said as he looked down at the ground, "The Order doesn't care about who they take…"

"Shut up about them, I don't give a damn if they show up. I'll beat them back to whatever void they came from." Yashin let out a laugh.

"Confidence is a good attribute, but don't let it go to your head. An archangels mind is their greatest weapon." He said and I felt my eyes grow heavy, "The sun is rising, good luck Assassin…" again he muttered something at the end but I couldn't hear him.


I opened my eyes again and the first thing I saw was Blanc snuggled close to me. She was still blushing from the… "event" last night.

Trying not to disturb her, I moved her arms from around me and slowly got out of bed. Our clothes were still on the floor, I quickly put mine back on and started gathering Blanc's clothes.

I folded them up and sat them on her bed, that's when her eyes fluttered open and she yawned a little bit.

"Morning." I said and she looked over we me and rubbed her eyes.

"Good morning Assassin. When did you get up?"

"Not too long ago, only a couple minutes."

Blanc pulled the covers off of her and started to put her clothes back on, while waiting I used my archangel sense to see if anyone was around us.

"I'm gonna head out and see if Rom and Ram are awake." I said and Blanc nodded.

"Alright."

I walked out the door and went walking through the halls while looking outside. The sun was shining but that didn't melt the snow. The way the sun's rays bounced off the snow was honestly beautiful.

I was outside Rom and Ram's door and was about to knock on it, but I stopped. I heard laughing coming from inside.

I knocked on their door. "Rom, Ram. Can I come in?"

"Sure!" They didn't waste anytime, the door opened quickly and revealed Ram behind the door.

I stepped into their room and I saw their TV was on, a game was running and there were two extras in the room. One was the Lowean twins, the other were the twins I gave directions to Lastation. Now they were sitting here in Rom and Ram's room.

"Rom, Ram… when did you let these two in?" I asked and Rom looked up at me.

"A couple minutes ago. You're not mad are you…?" She replied and looked at me sympathetically.

"No, you just need to tell Blanc or me if you're having visitors." I stated and looked at the other twins. "I don't think I caught your names last time, one of you was Yang. I remember that."

The girl raised her hand, "I'm Yin! My brother is Yang." She said and moved to the right, revealing Yang behind her.

"H-Hi…" he said shyly and shrunk in size a little bit.

"Nice to meet you two, my name is-"

"This is our big brother Assassin!" Ram interrupted and Yin's eyes widened.

"Wait… Assassin? THE Assassin?" Yin started saying and I nodded slowly.

"Uh… I guess? My name is Assassin."

"No way! This is amazing! I never thought that I'd meet you in person!" She said and ran up to me, wrapping her arms around my waist.

"What? What do you mean?"

"Are you kidding? You're a hero! You saved the world from the evil diablos!" She said and I scratched my head.

"Hey now, diablos aren't evil. The name may sound like they are, but truly they're not."

"What are you talking about Assassin?" Ram questioned, "you kicked Noxious's butt back in Leanbox remember?" Oh right, but that was so long ago.

"I appreciate the respect, but it feels weird to be above everyone else."

"...hero." Yang muttered and walked closer to me.

"So I'm guessing you all met sometime?" I asked and both Ram and Yin nodded.

"Yeah!" They both said and Rom spoke up.

"When we went to get you something… we met them." Rom admitted and I smiled.

"Making new friends huh?" I said with a smile and patted Roms head, "You're such a nice girl." Rom giggled a bit, "alright, I need to go. Have fun and try not to be too loud."

"We won't." They all said in unison and I walked out of the room. I stuck my hands in my pockets and walked through the halls of the Basilicom.

My mind started to wander a bit as well. I've stated myself that I was the chosen archangel but am I really? No. I have to be, Kibo, Decker, and Yashin all claimed that I was. But I don't feel any different than I was before.

I looked outside again and saw a flash in the forest. I used my archangel sense and felt a presence. Someone's out there…

Slowly walking outside, I crept up to where I felt the presence. I took my pistol out of it's holster and aimed it in front of me.

I was now right by whoever was in the forest. I could hear some moving from the bushes.

I aimed my pistol at the bush and cocked the gun, "Come out now." I demanded and the figure stood up. "Kibo?"

"I was about to call you." Kibo said and stepped out of the bush. "I needed to talk to you."

"Alright." I said and put my pistol back in it's holster, "What did you need?"

"To know if you're the chosen one. I'm still not sure so I need to check." He said and summoned one of his swords.

"Um…"

He held it to his arm and sliced it, blood rose out of the wound and trickled down his arm, he put his sword down and caught some of it in his hand.

"Your turn." he said and nodded to the sword.

"O-Okay." I said and picked up the sword, I held it to my arm and cut it. Blood trickled out and Kibo caught it in his hand. Both blood drops mixed together making a bigger splat of blood.

"As I thought… it's the same." Kibo said and looked behind me and nodded. "I'm sorry."

"Sorry for wh- GAH!" Kibo didn't even waste time, he slashed me in the side and I spun around and fell on one knee. He slashed my ankles, causing more blood to gush out of me. I could no longer stand…

Kibo held me up by my hair and soon, a bunch of people came walking out. A robed female, because of her chest, another female only this one was in a regular Lastation schoolgirl uniform, but she had a blank face, like she had no emotion at all. She had chocolate brown hair that went down to about half her back. Another robed person came out and standing beside him, with a bright smile on his face, was Decker.

"See? I told you he could do it." Decker told the robed man and the man nodded and looked at Kibo.

"Good work Prince Kibo. You've proven yourself well." the man said, his voice was deep and raspy, like the final boss of a game.

Kibo nodded but didn't say anything.

The man removed his hood and revealed his hair. It was white as snow and he had two different eyes. One was the bloodiest red you could think of while the other was as blue as the sky. He had two scars above his eyes, one looked from a sword wound while the other was from a bullet i'm guessing.

"Chosen one. We've finally found you." the man said and smiled a little bit. "We shall finally end this prophecy before it begins anew…" his smile disappeared quickly.

"Kibo… you traitor…" I muttered, I clenched my fists and Kibo restrained me. "So you're The Order?" There may be one option left…

"I'm surprised you knew. Yes, we're the archangels that shall end this prophecy. You shall stand trial for your actions."

"Trial?" It's now or never… "Blanc… please hear me… I'm outside and there are dangerous people out here. Get Rom and Ram and get out of here!" There's one… "Riddek… call Noxious and anyone else you can and get to Lowee quickly!"

"Contacting the others huh?" Decker said and I quickly opened my eyes again. "Don't worry. They'll be out here soon…"

As if on cue, Rom and Ram walked out and behind them were the two twins I left with them. Yang had his hands on Rom and held her arms behind her back, she was on the verge of crying but so was the boy. Ram was slowly walking beside them as Yin was holding her hands out and stepping like Ram.

"Leave them out of this!" I yelled and the leader shook his head.

"No can do. We know that you and the CPU have already, have do I put this, shared each other's love already-"

We could all feel those icy glares… it didn't take long for an axe to come flying out from the clearing. The leader of the Order stepped back to avoid the axe, which came circling back to where it was thrown.

Blanc was flying above all of us with the most pissed off look I've ever seen from her. She landed in front of us and glared at every single member of The Order. Including Kibo.

"I'll say this only once. Let everyone go, or you all will feel every one of your bones breaking!" Blanc yelled and the leader stood unfazed, if anything he started clapping.

"Heh heh heh. Here she is, the CPU of Lowee." he said and nodded. "I see that Kibo was right about his evaluations… You are certainly smaller."

That wasn't good to say… Blancs eyes almost lit on fire when she heard that, "What?! That's it, you're dead meat!" she yelled and dashed towards the leader.

"Blanc no!" too late. The school girl jumped in front of the leader and smashed her arm into Blanc before she could even make contact. Blanc flew back to the trees and collided with a bunch of them.

The girl lifted her arm and it started to change form, it opened and soon a gatling gun was where her arm was. "Target aquired. Confirming kill." a robot?!

"NO!" I yelled and everyone looked at me, "Don't… just don't… Blanc and I never advanced our relationship. We've never ever done… "that" yet." I lied as a last resort and the leader looked at Kibo.

"Is this true?"

"...yes. He hasn't yet." he said and the leader nodded.

"I'll go with you… Just don't hurt anyone else. Please." I said almost on the verge of tears.

"...Very well." the leader said and Decker's eyes widened.

"Wait, what if he's lying?"

"Prince Kibo has been a watchful eye on him, he would of known if the chosen one did something like that."

Kibo forced me on my feet and shoved me forward. Making me fall again.

"Big Brother!"

"Let Assassin go!" Rom and Ram both protested but the female robed girl looked over at them.

"Try CPU Candidates and you might end up with the same fate as him." she warned and I looked at the two Candidates, even Ram was close to crying.

"It's alright." I said and then Blanc got back up.

"Let him go!" she yelled and was about to dash towards us again, but the robot raised her weapon again.

"Blanc stop!" I yelled and she did quickly. "You can't do anything else. It'll be bad if you do."

"Assassin, stop! Let me help you!" Blanc protested and clutched her axe with a tighter grip.

"I won't let you hurt yourself anymore…" I muttered and put on the most serious face I could. "My job is to protect you CPU's. Let me go with them, that's an order."

"Assassin!" she yelled and glared at me, "Damn you! Dammit Assassin!" she started yelling.

"It is wise to listen to him CPU, you won't like that outcome if you attacked." the leader said and nodded at Kibo. "Let's go."

Kibo picked me up and started walking off with me, I was left staring at Blanc, Rom, and Ram. The three Loweans were stuck staring at me with one glare from Blanc and the Candidates a scared look. Blanc dropped to her knees and I swore I heard her voice in my mind. I could tell what she was thinking.

"Dammit Assassin… I hate you…" From how the words sounded, she was obviously crying. Seeing her in CPU form and crying brings terrible pain to me. But this is what I had to do… to protect them.

It didn't take long before I left the vision of the CPU and CPU Candidates of Lowee…


Noxious's POV

Today I went to Leanbox to test out a new Diablo artifact I created with Risoria and Nagao.

"Noxious! Today was my day off…" Risoria complained while we walked through the woods.

"For once I agreed with her." Nagao added, we kept walking.

"I'm sorry but I need to see if this works before I go off using it." I replied then I stopped. "Alright we're here." Looking at a small lake with a waterfall hitting it from above. I turned to Risoria and Nagao and pulled out a curved black dagger with a red orb in the blade. I charged at both Risoria and Nagao.

"Noxious what are you!-" before they could finish I slashed them in the side. They stood there and looked at where I slashed.

"What did you do to us?" Nagao asked, I put the dagger away.

"I used a voice extraction dagger, it'll bring your voices out in physical form and be able to communicate with them." I explained then Umbaroth came out as his huge dragon form as well as a huge green and black snake.

"Shinkei!" Umbaroth yelled

"Ssss, Umbaroth!" The snake yelled back we all stood there and watched as the two collided making the ground below us shake.

"SHINKEI!" Nagao yelled then the snake stopped and looked at him.

"SSSS, Why do you interrupt our fight after we just sssstarted again?!" Shinkei replied in an angered tone.

"For once I agree with Shinkei, why must you interrupt our fight?!" Umbaroth agreed. I walked in front of Nagao and looked up at Shinkei and Umbaroth.

"Listen Shinkei and Umbaroth I don't care about your fight, but both of you can help me with mine." I stated.

"HAHAHA A HUMAN TELLING USSSS WHAT TO DO!" Shinkei laughed but Umbaroth stayed quiet.

"Shinkei, I must warn you that this boy is the new diablo king. he could kill us at any minute." Umbaroth warned Shinkei.

"Umbaroth are you ssssseriously sssscared of this boysss title?!" Umbaroth nodded. "Pathetic! I'll kill this boy in a sssecond!" Shinkei started charging at me opening his fangs, he tried biting me but I grabbed the top and bottom of his fangs.

"I said, STOP FIGHTING!" I yelled and threw Shinkei by the fangs.

"Gwaaa!" Umbaroth flew down right where Shinkei landed.

"Shinkei, you see what I mean?" Umbaroth asked, Shinkei started to get up.

"I've fought countlesssss diablossss and humansssss but this one peakssss sssome interest." Shinkei acknolegded then they both turned to me and the others. "What must we assssist you with diablo king?" I grinned.

"I need transport to Lowee." I stated.

"What?!" Risoria and Nagao yelled in a shocked tone.

"Noxious you seriously did all that just to get to Lowee?!" Nagao said grabbing me by the shirt.

"Could you've just gone there rather than coming to Leanbox?" Risoria asked.

"Yes I could've, but I wanted to see how you guys were holding up here in Leanbox since a group of Archangels called the Order have been wandering around causing destruction." I replied then Nagao let go of me.

"Don't worry about us, we will protect Leanbox and everyone. Especially my goddess Vert!" Nagao stated in a happy tone then Risoria punched him in the gut.

"You only call her goddess because of how big her breasts are!" She said then looked at me. "Don't worry Noxious we'll make sure everything is okay." then Umbaroth walked up to me.

"We should leave now Noxious while there's still wind blowing." He said then I nodded.

"Yeah, let's go Umbaroth." I jumped up on his back and he started taking off.


We soared across the skies at a high speed, I'm lucky just to stay on though. "Umbaroth! Slow down a bit!" I yelled.

"I cannot slow down Noxious I need to keep a certain speed to keep us in the air." He replied, I sighed.

"Fine I guess i'll do this then!" I pulled a black rope out of my creations and threw it around his neck, Umbaroth started going all over the place.

"Noxious! I-I can't breathe!" He struggled and threw me off his back. I looked down where I was falling and put my hand into the black aura.

"Diablo Claw!" I yelled and used my arm that started forming red lines to make a red magic circle. "Wingless Diablo!" another magic circle appeared on the ground as I landed. I felt no pain from the fall and looked around to see the Lowee Basilicom.

"Noxious!" I looked over to see Riddek running up to me catching his breath.

"What's wrong Riddek?" I asked then he stood straight.

"Assassin's in trouble! He's been taken by some Archangels…" My eyes widened and I clenched my fist, them bastards…

I didn't tell Riddek who The Order were yet, I wanted to see how Blanc was doing since I did the same with Noire.

"Blanc is in her room. But she's also in her CPU form so watch out if she gets hostile." Riddek warned me I nodded and proceeded into her room, she stood at the window looking at the night sky.

"Um hey Blanc-"

"What is it!" She cut me off, I walked over and sat on a chair.

"Are you alright?" I asked, she turned around with a pissed look.

"I'm fine and I don't need you to tell me that."

"Then what about Assassin?"

"What about him? I don't care about people I hate!" I looked at her with a pissed look as well.

"Look here Assassin didn't want to leave you, he wanted to make sure you were safe!" I got up and walked up to her, she pulled her axe out and put the blade to my neck.

"Alright you damn demon. I'll slash your head off right here and now!" I opened my mouth a little bit.

"Do it…" I whispered, she put her axe back and slashed my head off, both my body and head hit the floor. She stood there and tears started to come out of her eyes.

"I did it and now I definitely can't save Assassin…" her knees fell to the ground as she cried.

"Now that's what I was waiting for." I said as my body moved off the ground and I walked over to where my head laid. My body picked up my head and reattached itself back together.

"How did you…"

"I will bring Assassin back and I will make sure I bring him back to you!" I stated then her head lifted and she stood up.

"Then make sure when you find him… call him an idiot for me!" I nodded and smiled.

"Got it, CPU of Lowee." I walked out of the door and walked outside of the basilicom, my body felt heavy.

"I better hurry before it happens…" I started to see a vision of a guy with bright blue electric markings on his right arm, his eyes glowing bright blue and black sweat pants which were a little torn. I couldn't see his face but I knew just from the vision that it's someone I don't want to face…
