!Quick Warning!
This chapter is going to be very Sad, don't worry… Evelyn is mostly safe… mostly
Also, Vulgar language warning
The morning sun was rising as James woke up from his first night in the Cathedral. Standing up, He made his way to the Commons room to find the rest. Rose was doing Evelyn's hair. Izuki and Tenko were studying from Tenko's notes and Ray was modifying his arm. "Good morning then, Yeah?" James said looking at everyone. "Where is Lady Shimura?" James added looking around. "In her quarters, She often sleeps longer then us and plays a large role in the cathedral" Tenko responded without breaking his eyesight from the notes. "Right…" James said, Looking around. "Got a Washroom?" James asked, scratching his neck. "Yep, Rose can take you there." Tenko added. "Do you have a daughter, Tenko?" Rose asked, snarling. "No?" Tenko responded. "Then you take him, I'm spending time with my daughter" Rose said. "But she isn-" Tenko said before being cut off by a throwing knife, An inch from his hantand piercing his notes. "Yes. She. Is" Rose said with a murderous aura around her which caused Evelyn to panic.
-Quick Interlog-
Evelyn's Quirk is "Essence", though blind, She can see Auras and intents when they are in great magnitude, In other words the only reason Rose missed was because Izuku was right there, A non target was close to the Target.
-now back to the story-
Rose panicked and knelt down which when she did Evelyn calmed down. "Wh-What's wrong sweety?!" Rose asked Panicking. "I-I-I saw a dark r-red c-cloud a-appear in front of m-me. Rose, shocked as she hugged Evelyn. "It's okay sweetie, You're safe" Rose said, smiling too which Evelyn reached out and put her hand over Rose's heart. Evelyn then hugged Rose and smiled. "Moma!" Evelyn said loudly with a smile. Rose started to cry tears of joy, hugging Evelyn back.
Tenko, now terrified, got up and escorted James to the Washrooms. "Here they are, Inside is a wooden cabinet and a 20 foot by 20 foot hot spring, Towels are in the cabinet as well as other skin care supplements, Keep in mind the washrooms are available to anyone but you shouldn't worry about it too much, Everyone is in the commons" Tenko said while walking away. "Thanks" James said while walking in and freezing as he saw Asui sitting in the hot spring with a green thick paste on her face and grey, round stones on her shoulders and eyes. James tried sneaking out before Tsu spoke. "I know you're there, You're not the first to see me naked and you won't be the last, If you have no issue with it you're welcome to join me, Ray's Ray dehydrated me a bunch" Asui said as she laid her head back a little more. James thinking "well… I gotta scrub myself up, She doesn't seem to mind…"
James stripped down and slid into the spring about 7 feet away from Tsu. "You know, For someone who lives in the woods, You are awfully jumpy to be in the same area as a naked girl" Tsu said teasingly. "Sh-Shut up…" James said embarrassed as he started washing up his hair, ears and tail.
-back at the commons-
"No Ray… you cannot put a Vibrating setting on your arm, A magnet and grappling hook setting sure… But no Vibrating" Rose said, covering Evelyn's ears and scolding Ray. "Oh C'mon, what is life worth living if you don't live a little?" Ray said with a grin. Rose facepalmed and uncovered Evelyn's ears. "Mama!, I can see something!" Evelyn said tugging at Rose's sleeve. "What do you see?" Rose asked. "Colors… faded purples, All around below." Rose seemed alarmed. "JAMES, ASUI, IZUKU, TENKO, LADY SHIMURA, RAY, EVERYONE TO THE BUNKER!, Evelyn, Do as I say and Stay close, Until you hear that it is safe, Stay by me"
Rose picked up Evelyn and ran to the catacombs safe room as everyone else followed, James being soaked and Asui in a trance, James jumped out the water and prepared for a fight. "Asui, Towel up and head to the catacombs, We are under att-" James said before being launched back into the spring by a thick, Hard limb of a Monster, Hulking in size and standing in the doorway. "Asui… Stay put" James said before transforming to his were form and jumping on top of the monster, Ripping into its head, Tearing out parts of brain and grey matter. Asui remained terrified in the spring, Hiding in the water, James tearing more before the monster dropped dead and James switched back. "Change of plans, Asui, Stay in the water, They won't see you, I'll make it to the catacombs and help defend" James said running out with a towel around his waist and tearing through monsters left and right before making it to the catacombs and getting in. "Asui is camo'd in the Washroom, is everyone good?" James asked, looking at Everyone. "Yeah… Just shaken" Izuku said. "Good" James said before Rose stepped outside with her sword and locked it behind her.
A few painstakingly moments pass as the door unlocks and Ray burst through seeing Rose's Half destroyed body laying bleeding fast. "no no no No No NO!" Ray said running over and hugging her. "Hey little bro…" Rose said coughing up blood and having a faded smile. "What's life worth living if you don't live a little… right?" Rose said, Smiling with a chuckle before the light faded from her eyes. Ray Enraged stood up and his core was burning brightly as he stood up and his voice boomed with an other worldly echo. "Bury her body in the catacombs with her sword, Shield and Armor, We will hold her funeral after…" Ray said before he stormed up the stairs, His clothes slowly igniting and burning away as he left, Soon after a massive heat wave struck everyone and Ray returned with his core a Blue beacon of light with a blinding core.
Minutes later after his Core cooled off, Ray seemed emotionless as he carried Rose's lifeless body to her tomb in the Catacombs among the fallen ArkAngels. "This Ceremony is to honor her valor, may Her valor, Her courage, Her Care and Her soul, May they be remembered and honored in the afterlife... ". Ray said before a small bit of steam rolled off his cheek. Evelyn was sorrow as she tugged on Ray's arm. "C-Can I say something?" Evelyn asked with a tear. "Yes Little one, She would want to hear her Angel's choir as she passes" Ray said standing back. "All though I know she wasn't my actual mommy… she treated me like her daughter, Her child, Her sweetie, and all though she isn't my real mama, She is still my mama, Even now… These people are my family and this temple is my home, And if mama is listening… I love you mama"
-editor's note, I know this is my fictional story But I'm actually tearing up…-
Everyone was in tears as Lady shimura placed the top of Rose's Tomb upon the rest, She waves her hand over the lid and as she did, Cracks formed and made the words "Mary Rose, A warrior with a mother's embrace and a knight's valor"
Days passed and no monsters attack which made everyone Uneasy, James took care of Evelyn as James had the least contact with Rose and had the least grief, Enough so He could take care of her, Ray spent hours in his room, Only coming out to eat. Days… Weeks… Months passed. Izuku felt anger as he'd lost an ally and had no chance to fight the Nomus to get Jame's Artifact. Until one full year passed after Rose's death which Ray wasn't seen all day… a week passed and no signs of Ray. On day 7, James peeked in Ray's room and found it empty, Everyone started to panic before Ray returned. Soaked in blood and guts carrying two partial Nomu corpses and lifeless eyes. "Where are the Artifacts you damn mutt" Ray was angered.
-CLIFFHANGER-
-jk not really-
"They were supposed to have them" James respond. "And yet they don't, So where are they?!" Ray asked Aggressively, His core heating up. "Listen Ray, Calm down" Izuku said. "DON'T FUCKING TELL ME TO CALM DOWN, YOU ARE THE GOD DAMN REASON I LOST ROSE" Ray's core started spinning faster. "Ray, Calm" Asui added before standing back in fear. "TELL ME YOU DAMN FUR BALL!" Ray exclaimed before his core almost stopped completely in an instant and Ray dropped to his knees, Evelyn hugging him as Ray's core cracked from thermal Shock. Ray collapsed and Izuku quickly ran over. "Get him to his bed… his core is damaged" Nana said before picking up Evelyn.
-now a cliffhanger-
