~Chapter 54: Cargo Airship~
"Where are we?"
"This is the cargo airship... It looks like they found a way to power up the engines... But.. How? They may have drained a large amount of Aisha's magic, but not enough to power up the entire engine. Elsword's Cornwell and Memoria is also needed.."
"They must have used something else.. Like.. The El?"
Rena had a bad feeling as she gripped Erendil tightly. She was wary of her surroundings as the wind swayed her hair. Aisha wiped the dry tears and made sure that Aren and Elsa would be alright. She raised her staff, gathering energy.
"Oh...? It looks like I have company. I never would have thought Elsa's clone would be defeated and Aren would break out of the control. What a disgrace. At least the original Elsa.. Died."
They gripped onto their weapons and looked for the source of the echoing voice in the air. Chung raised his Destroyer into the air, about to bombard the ship, however, something jumped down from the sky grabbed his attention. He blocked the attack and knocked it back. He glared at it with his cerulean eyes as miniture Wally No. 8 appeared. Eve narrowed her eyes at it before pushing Chung out of the way. A laser was fired from the Nasod.
"Sweep Rolling."
Generating an Electron Triangle, it continues to rotate while locking the Nasod in one spot before slowly pushing it away. As the Electron Triangle disappears, Rena leaped into the air while kicking, making it seem like she's flying.
"What are those things?"
"They're security guards... It's a miniature version of Wally No. 8. Wally No. 8 was destroyed years ago. However, before I escaped... He began creating some versions of it and something else that is far more powerful."
"Apparently... There are three versions of it. The red's shoots strong lasers from it's head. The yellow's will launch homing missiles. The brown ones are the most basic one out of all of them. They can use an attack similar to Elsa's Windmill."
"How'd you know?"
"Moby and Remy gave me the data.."
"All we have to do is get them out of the way, right?"
"Yeah."
"Allow me to do the dirty work."
Aisha raised her staff, ready to cast a spell, however, Elsword stopped her from doing so. He steal her spotlight and tackled the Nasods with brute strength. Eve sighed at his recklessness as Aisha followed him and became his backup. Elsword was determined to foil Wally's plan. Aisha can clearly see that as she tightened her grip on her staff.
'Elsa... I won't let your sacrifice be in vain. I... I'll take care of Elsword in your place. I won't let him get hurt. I'll make sure that... He'll continue to smile. Although... If I'm too reckless and charge in towards Wally.. Would you forgive me if you see me dying even though you sacrificed yourself?'
"Gigantic Impact!"
On Elsword's side, there were swarms of Nasods heading towards him. Chung leaped into the air before rocketing towards them, slamming the ground. The impact created a slight movement on the ship and a crater below him along with flattened Nasods.
"Meteor Shower!"
With a swing of her staff, flaming meteors fell from the heavens as it burned through the hard metal of the Nasods. Elsword slashed down the last remaining of the Nasods. His ears twitched slightly from a sound from behind him, he spun on his heels and blocked a large laser beam that pushed him against the wall.
Aisha turned her head towards Elsword, lowering her guard. On her sides, she could feel tremendous pain as she was to be slammed against Elsword with the huge metallic arms. Aisha impaled her staff into the ground and used all her strength to stop herself from colliding into Elsword. Elsword stared at her with wide eyes before he glared at the huge chunk of metal. He carried Aisha away from the homing missiles heading their way.
"Giga Stream!"
"Swallow Assault!"
Eve fired a large beam of condensed energy with a red aura behind her from her slender fingers. Ara sneaked up and kicked the Nasod before escaping a stray metallic arm heading for her. Ara disappeared from the naked eye and began to unleash merciless slashes.
"Trapping Arrow!"
Rena leaped into the air, firing an arrow downwards. The arrow soon formed five traps in the way. The miniature Wally's were back, however, the five traps released Rena exploded within contact. She pushed on her heels and executed a forward thrust guided by a gust of wind. Within a moment, the Wally's were slashed down and laid still on the ground while twitching slightly with visible electricity. Her gentle spring green eyes stared at Elsa's now cold body and Aren's heavy breathing.
'Aren's having a hard time breathing... Hopefully, I can make a medicine for him to stop the heavy breathing... But... What would his reaction be if he finds out that Elsa is gone from this world...? Aisha awakened, but Elsa hasn't. Did Elsword make his decision without us knowing or.. Did Elsa willingly sacrificed herself?'
"Aero Tornado!"
"Gigantic Impact!"
Rena backflip into the air, releasing a giant sphere of strong gusts of wind. The sphere sucked the larger Wally into the gusts of wind. The blades of wind slashed through the pieces of metal before Chung flattened it with a strong impact into the ground. He sighed as Raven slashed open a door.
"Hey! I found a door to the inside of the airship!"
"Shall we go?"
"Yeah, but... What about Elsa and Aren? We can't just leave them here."
Elsword opened his mouth to volunteer to watch over them, however, Raven shut his mouth with a jab in the stomach. Elsword glared at Raven as Raven volunteered to stay behind.
"You guys go on ahead. I'll stay behind. I can also watch out for the ship's movements."
"But!"
Eve slapped her hand above Elsword's move and Chung threw him on his shoulders. Both of them heard for the door while Aisha was leaning against Ara. Rena gave Raven a gentle look and held up a pinkie. They made a silent promise as Raven hook his pinkie around hers. Rena smiled before running after the others.
Within a dark room, Wally smirked widely as he locked in on Elsword's group. He muttered a few words under his breath and pressed a button. The airship shook as Elsword's group began to be ambushed by various traps and enemies.
"Entertain me while we head to Hamel... Enjoy your time together as long as you can. That is... If you don't die."
~Author's Note~
Ah... I'm back to my 2 days update~ :) Tomorrow, I'll be heading to Knott's Berry Farm for a performance and then around 6:30PM.. I'll have to go to this special event from my school for the invited ones.
My friend thinks it's for the smart people or for those with GPA of 3.5 or higher... Eh. I don't know. OAO Anyways... I don't know why, but I always lag in Altera's field. And I finally finished the 250 field monster quests! :D I got the key and... I was expecting a level 8 magic amulet, but.. I got a 6.. Sadly. I'm trying my luck again on Chung if I'm not too lazy. I still have to finish the world champions thing for my Chung. The clothes is the reward and then I'll trade it for a Deadly Chaser's gear like my Code Nemesis... Anyways...
I just realized that I've been spelling "miniature" incorrectly during all these years. QAQ
Here are my replies to my awesome reviewers~
Konjiki No Yami: I wish, but... I don't know. Well, it depends. As I'll be working on Assassin's Love after Eternal Soulmates.. I don't know if a sequel will work out. XP
An0n Author: *facepalms* Damn it! Anon! Come back! OAO *takes the cookie and gives back a house-sized brownie* I thank you for the compliment, but get Anon back here! QAQ Your sister dies, but... She'll be in your heart?
Kat Neko983: I didn't want to make you cry! I'm so sorry! Wait... You didn't cry in real life, did you? Damn it. Elsword! Get out here and comfort your girlfriend!
Sweet Trickster: So many conflicted emotions..Well, it was a hard choice for Elsword. His long-lost sister or a girl who has tried to befriend him countless of times? So.. I chose for him by flipping a coin. Tails for Elsa, heads for Aisha. And it ended up with heads like twice, so... Yeah, the result is finally out. Elsa dies, Aisha lives. My brother said, "Damn.. I can see people flaming Wally and trying to kill him as many times as they can." Well, the unhappy people are definitely charging for his head. XD His opinion of them would be, "Arrogant brats who think they can defeat the Great Wally?" I'm glad it interests you~ If possible, I'll put up another preview. XD
RubyCrusade: Nooooo! *throws myself out to catch you* To make up for crushing your dreams.. I have a surprise for you~ *winks* Well, as I explained in a reply.. It was by flipping a coin twice. XD Aisha got out of the death. Aren... Yes, I have future plans for him, that may take his life away. XD I have to worry about RC since... Who knows what she'll do to herself. OAO
The Cynical Asian: *hugs* I love you. Thank you so much for the skill note. :) Now.. If only you can go on, so we can add each other and talk. :D Anyways.. Elsa might have a small chance of coming back... *spoilers* Of course, that all depends on a coin as well. :) Elsword will still get the angst. :D Yeah~ They're going to go after you! And.. Ooh~ They're already going after you? XD *holds you back from leaving*
Helringo: *snaps pictures along with Els and puts it in a couples album that I support* XD Aisha.. Destroy my pictures, then you'll be the next one to be killed.
Tsunderee: Tsundere are fine. XD I go on everyday, so no worries. And.. Chung x Eve for eternity! :D
Rosamanelle: *Wally switches with another Wally and puts Elsa in another crystal* XD True love.. Elsword would be hesitating the whole time, so I helped him out with a flip of a coin~ :3 And... :3 Deadly Chaser x Code Nemesis has always been a cute/hot/sexy couple. :D Assassin x Mistress of Destruction. Royalty. Personality compatible and compliments the other well. Elsa is created from a part of the original, and she holds some of Elsa's hidden feelings. *hugs* Don't cry... QAQ
sOdAPopgrl133: Ooh! :3 You actually took your precious time to review this story of mine once again?! I'm honored! *gives tea and chair for you to sit* XD And yeah.. It's short. I try to update as much as I can so no one will wait for forever. XD This story might be over 60+ chapters... XD I'm glad you like the plot. :)
NobelTJ99: You really are going to talk about fishies for a long time... XD Pretty badass+pretty lagging. OAO
Yukiryuu Acchan: Fate is so cruel nowadays. QAQ Aisha lived... Elsa died.. XD Oh, you never knew she was Wally's slave.. Echo is one of your favorite NPC? Mine would be... Probably Echo, Praus and Hanna~ :3 Dang.. XD Most of the time, I'm successful since no one distracts me. XD Berthe is strong.. I can't freakin' use 300 MP skills... OAO I just hate the roars. XD Thank you. :3
BIAxDiA: *bows down* I'm sorry.. QAQ I will not let my stories end with a bad ending.. :D They'll be mainly happy endings unless a bad one fits much better. A lot has happened to them as they mature. *wipes a stray tear* Oh and I love dark, twisted, gory romance stories~ :3 So.. The story is based on my likes. XD Sort of.
Orithia WindBell: Aww, that's okay~ :3 You reviewed at least. XD Elsa died with honor. Elsword's thoughts will be hidden until a few chapters later? Damn right. XD Wally's going to have his head rolling on the floor pretty soon. XD I go to the laboratory since it's more challenging. And... Wally is not the father, he thinks he is. XD I knew it. XD Let me review my opinion. Don't worry, I won't flame you. XD Eve VS Chung... It's partially correct since it's in the tournament battles in the beginning of Eternal Soulmates. And... There's a scene in there that is going to be in Eternal Soulmates.. Guess which one~
Thanks for reading!
