I know it's been a long time since I updated! I'm so sorry, I lost the book
I wrote the drafts in...
Chapter 6: The New Sword
"Well, it looks like our map was upside down," Ivan announced. "That's why we couldn't find our way to that Art Museum."
"Oh crap. So where exactly is this Art Museum?" Garet demanded.
"It's near the old National Library at City Hall." Jeremy replied.
"So are we going to ride in that bumpy blue horseless carriage with a cover again?" Feizhi asked.
"Nope, we're going by bus!" Kara replied.
It was a lousy ride. Everyone on the SBS Bus were staring at the weapons our group held.
Finally, they arrived at the Art Museum. Surprisingly, there were no visitors. Expectedly, Alex was there again. He scowled as the twelve approached.
"What are YOU doing here?"
"Alex, go back to Weyard and stop all these foolish nonsense!" Kraden said sternly.
"Foolish nonsense? Kraden, you want to explore this 'Earth' too, don't you?" Alex said, smirking.
"Do you?" Felix glared at the old scholar.
"Well... actually, I... Fine, yes I do! But I'm not wreaking harvoc in here!"
"I don't have time to chat. Ciao!" Alex warped off.
"He must be in the museum!" Isaac cried.
"After him!" Piers yelled. They dashed in to see Alex staring at a glass display. Inside was a shiny sword with a gleaming emerald at the top.
Alex smashed the glass and the alarms went off. He reached for the sword and as soon as his hand touched the handle, thorny vines erupted from the skin and clung to him. Alex gave a yell and pulled away before the vines could drain his energy away.
"Is it... an Earth Elemental sword?" Jeremy whispered.
"Weapons don't usually have specific elements," Kraden replied. "Unless..."
"The Apocalypse Blade still won't accept me," Alex frowned.
"Alex!" Two unknown guys entered the room. "We got more of it!"
Alex took from them a bag and emptied the contents around the altar of the sword. The stuff that poured out were coins and notes.
"Alex, what in the name of Mercury are you doing?" Mia asked.
"This, my dear Mia, is the Apocalypse Blade. I'm surprised, of course, that such a powerful artifact lies in an ART museum. This is a Living Weapon and so far it hasn't accepted me as an owner. The Apocalypse Blade's previous owner was a glutton for money, so I figured if I showed off a bit of wealth, it'd allow me to lift it," Alex replied, smirking.
"So you STOLE all that?" Kara cried.
"Nope, we borrowed it without asking and don't intend to return," said one of the men.
"Oh yeah? It's wrong to steal!" Sheba cried, rushing forward with her Atropos Rod, which gave a howl. "Life Shear!"
Alex's companions dodged the large scissors.
"Diamond Berg!" Alex's strange looking companion attacked Piers, whose Excalibur countered with the same attack.
"Thor!" Ivan summoned the god of thunder, crashed through the ceiling and destroyed practically the whole building and attacked the enemies. Garet cast Flash over Kraden, Jeremy and Kara.
"Damn you! Ice Stalectites!" Alex yelled. (This is an original attack by yours truly. Water Elemental attacks are limited in my opinion, it's time to create more)
From the sky, large ice spikes came crashing down, severely injuring the group and felling Ivan.
"Oh noooo... Cool Aura!" Jenna said faintly, holding out her arms.
"Petra!" Felix managed to nail the two unnamed freaks.
"Revive!" Isaac pulled Ivan to his feet.
"Die, all of you!" Alex aimed his sowrd at Sheba, whose Atropos Rod lay a few metres away. Out of desperation, Sheba grabbed the Apocalypse Blade and blocked the blow with it.
"What the heck?" Alex pulled away and stared.
"Sheba!" Kraden looked sick. "You pulled out that Living Weapon!"
"What's a Living Weapon?" Sheba asked. Alex growled and lunged for the sword, but the Jupiter Adept leapt away swiftly, landing beside Felix. She handed him the long blade.
"From the vines, I deduce it an Earth Elemental Sword!" Sheba said, smiling. Felix grinned and dropped the Tisiphone Edge, gripping the Apocalypse Blade with both hands.
"Hand it over, Felix!" Alex demanded as he charged forward with his weapon ready.
"Take THIS!" Felix slashed forward with his sword. Cracks appeared in the ground and chunks of granite flew up as a wave of light soared forth. Alex's companions were felled immediately. The blue haired Adept collapsed, panting.
"We'll meet again sometime," he breathed, then warped away.
Mia quickly healed everyone with Pure Wish. Jeremy, Kara and Kraden emerged from behind a cupboard of vases.
"Kraden?" Isaac asked. "What is a 'Living Weapon'?"
"A Living Weapon... I didn't think it really existed..." Kraden sighed, shaking his head and looking at the Apocalypse Blade Felix held.
"Just tell us what it is!" Garet yelled.
"There was a rumour, no, a legend, about four Adepts. Each of them was able to wield one of the four elements skillfully. Nobody could be better. However, the first weapons they used to fight were dead. Even with unleashes and what nots, the weapons were just tools for battle. So the four decided to make live weapons, weapons that could think and act on its own. These were called 'Living Weapons'." Kraden finished.
"But how come weapons of Weyard turned up on Earth?" Jeremy asked.
"I'd like to know, too. But maybe Alex was just assuming that it was a Living Weapon, because it was powerful. There are 8 of them altogether, two of each element. All were super powerful artifacts that chose their own owners, people they deemed worthy of using them. And well, this blade hasn't ever spoken, has it?"
"Shows how much you know!" an unfamilliar voice said.
"Who's there?" Feizhi called.
"This!" Felix held up the Apocalypse Blade. The emerald on it was blinking simultaneously.
"You're the Apocalypse Blade?" Jenna asked, looking suspicious.
"Yeah. I am Apocalypse, one of the two Earth blades."
"So you CAN talk. And there ARE weapons with elements!" Jeremy exclaimed. "Damn, I want one in my save file!"
"How come you let Sheba pick you up? She's no Venus Adept!" Kara said, feeling pissed that this powerful weapon had not chosen her as an owner. To fight with Isaac against the forces of evil...
"Well, Living Weapons can tell what the holder is thinking about. Sort of a Mind Read, yeah. And this girl was filled with fear, scared of what might happen, so I decided to be a nice guy. Besides, I was sure she couldn't wield me well and will hand me to one of the earth adepts! And I was right, wasn't I?" Apocalypse said.
"I wasn't scared!" Sheba protested.
"Well, Felix! Wanna be my partner?" Apocalpse asked, ignoring Sheba.
"Um, kay. Just don't bully Sheba!" Felix said. "Garet, you can have the Tisiphone Edge, it's better than the Fire Brand."
"Why, Felix, do I sense a bit of overprotectiveness over a certain someone?" Apocalypse teased innocently as Garet threw away the Fire Brand and grabbed the Tisiphone Edge.
"Shut up!"
Just then, dozens of policemen holding machine guns entered.
"You are surrounded! Surrender immediately or else!"
"Oh no..." Isaac looked around them in horror.
............................................................................................................................................................
Well, what will our guys do now? I swear, I'm really trying to update quickly, but...
Also, it should be plain that this story supports Felix/Sheba. As to the other pairings... Heheh, you'll find out soon enough!
Also, to Inuyasha fans, I'm sorry, I finished this fic before I realised why it seemed so familiar. The 'Sheba pull out Apocalypse blade' part is almost exactly the same as the 'Kagome pull out Tetsusaiga' part in the manga!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
