Chapter 21: An Unexpected Death
Pablo stood in front of the emperor of Zaibach. This was the man who found a dry, barren land, full of dying people and turned it into a utopia. Nonetheless he was crazy~ soon Folken would be killed by this man and the deaths of many wonderful characters would follow …
"I know the secret of Atlantis!!!" Pablo shouted.
Doinkork's eyebrow raised. He looked at the group of people around this stranger who claimed to know the secret of Atlantis. Doinkork lowered his huge thrown with the push of a button, beckoning Pablo.
"Come here boy~ I do not want the others to hear …" Doinkork said and Pablo walked up to him.
The circle around him and the throne raised so that no one could hear them. Pablo looked at the emperor and shuddered. Apparently the rumors about his nudity were no lie~ he was glad of the old man's beard.
"Tell me the secret of Atlantis!!!" he commanded.
Pablo reached into his pocket and pulled out a piece of parchment, handing it to Doinkork. Doinkork eagerly opened the sheet.
"This is not the secret to Atlantis!!! This is merely a …"
While Doinkork had occupied himself with the paper Pablo had taken his sword and pieced him through the heart. The man's eyes glazed over as he fell of the side of the throne~ he landed with a thunk … the emperor's rule was over~
Pablo pushed a red button on the throne's arm rest and it lowered to the ground.
"Hear me!!!" he shouted to every one "I have killed the emperor~ I am your new emperor now~"
Every one just stood still~ not knowing what to do … Kiran and Victoria were the perspective ones this time. Victoria saw why he killed Doinkork~ he had altered fate and saved many lives~ not only that but now he could rule Zaibach and change it's future.
Victoria took advantage of the confusion.
"All hail Emperor Pablo!!!" she said illustriously and bowed.
Kiran followed her salute.
"Yes!!! Long may he rein!!!"
Ry, just plain out confused, joined them … and soon every one, for the time being, let it be.
"My first command as emperor," said Pablo walking towards Victoria, "is that you continue your training and bring more people like myself to Gaea~ they shall become a second army that will assist the slayers~ but be not of them …"
"Yes, my emperor …" she said.
Pablo turned to Folken. "As for you … I want those rooms in the Slayers' corridor to be installed immediately. After you have done so you will meet me and teach me anything I'll need to know about being an emperor …"
Folken nodded, "Of course …"
Next was Dilandau. "I'd like you to see that at least 10 more Alseides' are made for the new comers … I trust you, Dilandau, and I want you to stay in charge of all major military maneuvers … the new army will assist you when ever you need them."
Dilandau liked this new emperor … he was straight-forward and he was a great strategist. He couldn't believe how he out smarted Doinkork and (unlike Doinkork) he was not old~ he was just a little older, about by a year or 2, then himself and was already changing Zaibach for the best, improving Doinkork's mistakes.
Dilandau nodded. "As you wish …"
"You are all dismissed … take the day off … " Pablo said and waved a hand.
Dilandau's eye twitched … and the Slayers simply didn't know what to do … every one stood baffled at the concept but soon walked out from the room.
Dilandau went to the melef hanger, Folken to his library, Kale and Justin to guard, and Kiran, Ry, Victoria, Miguel, Dallet, Viole, Gatti, Chesta, Viole, and even Guimel gathered in front of the Slayers' gym.
They sat down and discussed what had just happened.
"I like him!!!" Viole piped up.
Every one agreed and Victoria told Kiran and Ry of the depths of Pablo's actions.
"You mean he saved Naria, Eriya, Folken, and the dragon slayers' lives?!" Kiran asked incredulously.
"Yes ... as well as many other citizens of Zaibach" Victoria said.
By now people had begun to spar.
Viole with Chesta and Gatti with Miguel. Ry and Kiran decided to try each others' skills and Dallet offered to spar with Victoria. Victoria looked to her far left and saw Guimel sitting by himself, looking at the floor.
"Can I take a rain check?" she asked and walked over to sit by Guimel.
The golden eyed girl sat down by him. His eyes bugged out and he apologized hastily.
"I'msorryifyouwantedtositherepleaseforgivemeI'llmove …" he said and stumbled away.
(A/N: English translation: "I'm sorry if you wanted to sit there … please forgive me, I'll move!")
Victoria looked at him with sad eyes. He used to be so confident and nice~ he was now a nervous reck …
"Guimel … it's ok … sit here, I just wanted to talk." Victoria said pointing next to her.
"W-with me?" he whispered incredulously.
She nodded. "I don't know what happened to you that day~ but I'd like a fresh start …"
Guimel was confused.
Victoria held out her hand.
"My name's Victoria. It's nice to meet you."
He shakily took her hand and shook it. "M-my name's Guimel-l …"
She smiled. "Care to spar with me?"
He was about to decline but tried to go along with this "new start" thing …
"Ok …" he hesitantly accepted.
Dallet watched Kiran and Ry spar~ it kept on going because Ry used his strategies and Kiran with her speed. Each had a fault though~ Ry's was his habit of over doing it and Kiran's was strength and getting tricked.
Every once and a while Dallet looked over his shoulder and checked on Victoria.
He silently glared and seethed at Guimel. Why would she even converse with that scum?!
Guimel charged her and she blocked. Guimel was way better then reputation gave him credit for!!! Victoria grunted~ he was great!!! Guimel knocked her over and pinned her down. He saw what position he was in and horrible memories flashed through his mind … he jumped off and turned away.
"I'm so sorry ... I didn't mean t-- " Guimel looked down ashamed.
Victoria sighed. "It's ok, Guimel."
"Excuse me." he said and ran off.
Victoria shook her head but decided he needed some time alone~ she was right ... he really was sorry for what he had done …
A/N: Hehehehe!!! I finally posted!!! WOWWY!!! Pablo the emperor?! Guimel forgiven? Dallet jealous? New comers? Doinkork's death? SO MANY NEW THINGYS!!! Well, not really new now~ but it would have been … Lol~ Well, I g2g~ I hope you enjoyed!!! ~CrimsonFire
