Ring of Fire And Unexpected Guest
Issei carried Angron for hours up the mountain and found it grudgingly steep, though Angron's weight wasn't even a factor that held him back. Issei felt like he was lifting a normal person. Angron was still paralyzed by the creature's neurotoxin but could feel it slowly going away, thanks to her unique physiology, it was as easy as her body burning off the venom. She could start to feel her toes wiggle. Issei could see her attempt to move her toes, he giggled at Angron's relentless trying to rid herself of her own paralyzed condition. Angron looked mildly irritated at Issei's laughter.
"What so funny!" She barked at Issei.
"Nothing." Issei said, hiding his childish grin. Issei had hiked a long distance from the mountain being able to see the forest that surrounds the mountain, which was burning in a wildfire in a raging Inferno. Issei could see the damage he did rapidly spread. Issei sighed happily, glad this piece of nature was being eradicated.
"Why are you happy to see this land destroyed?" Angron asked wondering why Issei would revel in the demolition of the forest, Angron found it out of Issei's caring nature. Issei's face had turned into a hardened complexion. Angron was taken back a little by Issei's bitterness toward the creature. Yes, it did try to kill them, but it was gone. There was no use for this hatefulness wasn't worth it; especially to the woods.
"When I shadow out." Issei tried to say when Angron cut off Issei.
"Shadow out?" She asked With a cynical Expression. "It's called shadowing out?"
Issei awkwardly darted, embarrassed by the name he gave to his new power.
"Well, I was just trying to think of a name for my new power, and with that weird stuff, I controlled the shadows. So I thought shadow out would be a fitting phrase, so I um!"
Issei was embarrassed that he said it out loud. Seeing it did sound a bit childish.
"Look, just give me some credit, that I can even figure the power out okay." Issei said noticing Angron was smirking at him.
"Oh beware of Issei as he will shadow out his enemies." Angron sarcastically said in a fake startled tone of voice that soon turned into laughter.
"Great when did you get a sense of humor." Issei grumbled as Angron laughed at his expense.
"When you freed me from the butcher's nails." Angron said happily. Issei groaned as he kept trudging on the mountainside. Issei held a soft chuckle, though continued his story.
"Okay when I was in that shadow state, I heard whispers." Saying in a grave tone.
"Whisper?" Angron asked in an unnerved.
Issei slowly nodded as he looked up, glimpsing how gigantic the mountain stood. Issei gulped as he wasn't half away there.
"They told me how that thing, was Tortured for years, by these horrible monsters. Then it escaped into that Forest. The damage was done to it, so it decided to torture others play sick games with, torture, and killed whatever came into those woods. I just put it out of its Misery." Issei said. His grip on Angron tightened on her body. Angron had worried about Issei's Conversation with these shadows
"they told me that they were tall and wore black armor and relished in torturing others.."
"At least you got a new arm out of it." Angron cheerfully said, trying to change the conversation.
"Yay I did." Issei happily agreed as he felt the feeling of his new arm. Though it looked different, he still felt like it was his hand, which was strange. He remembered how Ddragi power felt when it went through his body, it felt as though infinity Coursed in him.
These shadows; were in a league of their own. Issei felt like it fell into an empty abyss with no bottom, that all darkness was down in him, as it welcomed him into a tight embrace of power. Issei knew how terrifying it was, an eternal fall, something that could even scare a god.
"Let's not worry about that, All that matters now is that we're safe." Issei said he kept marching on.
They both stopped when they could see the morning light brighten up the gray cloudy sky, the morning had come and a new day has begun for everyone. Issei smiled at the light shining his way.
"Enough site seeing Issei." Angron said annoyed by Issei's dumbstruck gaze. Yes, it was a beautiful site but they were currently on the run. Issei immediately worked overtime running up the rocky ankle breaker path.
"Sorry!" Issei said quickly panicking at Angron's tone. Issei did take one more look behind him seeing the fire surrounding the mountain, with help from the pink cherry forest that spread it all around. Issei probably guess no one was in there besides themself. So knowing to not worry about.
—-
The Khan spirited for miles in seconds unrelentless, for at least a day. Despite her actions, she didn't even look tired or exhausted at all. The Khan soon stood at the edge of the forest, she could see the black smoke on both edges of the forest started to spread. The Khan ran through the forest with inhuman haste. As she was able to outrun the fire before it could reach her.
The Khan was on a steady pace to the mountain. She wildly breathe as she journeyed forward. Today she felt her heart's pumping in excitement for where the battle would take place and the Khan would bring her back.
She loved their freedom in this world, charging wildly into the wilderness. This was her moment to get her blood pumping as her hand eagerly hovered over her sword. She is always the quiet one of the group, but she used it to her advantage. Their freedom was on the line, as that boy was in the clutches of the mad tyrant Angron. It was a good thing she had experiences, liberating others from madmen.
The Khan was on her way to fight in a bloody battle.
—
Issei's pace to the mountaintop was surprisingly fast, granted he had a ways to go, but the fact he could do this was amazing. This feat of strength is unreal to Issei, finding it amazing he was acting on such a task. Issei even felt all of his senses heightened. He could even feel more of Angron arua. her Aura shined with Compassion, which made Issei safe, oddly making him feel weak knees.
Angron could slowly feel her body returning to normal, though her paralyzed state was still holding her from any major body movement. She was able to move her neck. Angron could have stared at anything around her, But she could only gaze at Issei with studying eyes.
Issei could see how Angron stared at him, he tried his best to dismiss it. Looking around to see their surroundings change he could hear the crunching of crips snow beneath his feet. The spike of the mountain protruded sharply into the air. They looked to be made out of grayish granite. He found it relaxing, the cold air nipped at his face. While a cool breath passed by. His armor oddly kept him warm. Angron could feel the heat coming off the armor.
"What was he?" Angron asked in her mind. As she continues to intently stare at him.
Issei couldn't help it, as he had to check on how the forest was trying to see if it was all brought down by the ferocious flames. He turned his head to see the forest was on fire, with the same blue flames that warped him, this terrifying armor. Issei could only nod calmly.
"Issei?" Angron said getting his attention.
"What is Angron?" Issei wondered what Angron wanted. She felt her heart's beat faster, as he gave her that considering look that made her knees wobble.
"It's nothing nevertheless, please move faster" Angron just Reassured.
Issei slowly picked up his pace, trudging along the stee,p snowy, rocky, floor faster. Issei looked towards the sky up ahead to see the clouds on the mountain start to darken a bit, and the rumbling of the thunder echoed down to them. Issei nervously moved his trudging into a run.
"I think there's a storm coming our way." Issei said, the wind started to pick up as the sharp sand from the mountain cut into Issei's face. Angron knew a storm was coming their way and from the looks of it a massive one. Angron slowly started to regret this plane the more they journey forward. I mean seriously after that foul Xenos paralyed her and their consent running from the other matriarchs. To say their situation wasn't good was an understatement. The wind started to pick up. Issei could feel a bit of pushback from the wind but nothing too horrible.
Angron faced the wind with a sturdier glare hoping for any hope of shelter. Then the sound of rumbling rock had loudened tenfold. Issei could feel the earth shake as a wave of white snow moved down right where Issei stood. His eye widened in horror as a giant avalanche was heading down the mountain. Angron could only utter one word under her breath.
"Fuck!"
Issei ran for cover charging down the mountain. Angron hated herself more; this journey to the mountaintop was nothing full of disaster. Issei began to run down the hill with such a slow place controlling his footing was extremely difficult on the slippery terrain.
"Damn it this isn't working, I might as well fall to get ahead of this avalanche!" Issei yelled in his head.
Issei could only think of using his power. So that's what Issei did. He concentrated on the unknown feeling letting the shadow within swell. The dark hugs his soul giving a strong confidence.
"There's a cave to your right, it hides beneath the ice." A raspy shadow said with his mind. Issei rapidly looked all over to find a clue to where this cave was until looking to his right shoulder, he could see a glass blue icy floor ahead of them. Issei began running full speed towards the icy floor ahead.
"Angron do you trust me!" He asked quickly. Angron looked deep into Issei's eyes and gave a curt nod.
That was all the confirmation Issei need as he leaped down on the icy floor, breaking through it to fall into a deep tunnel ice slide. The Avalanche washed over the entrest of the cave. Issei and Angron sild down the tunnel at fast speeds. Issei thanked himself for the armor that was protecting his bottom, as he could how the icy surface was like sandpaper. Angron had gained control over her arms and latching out onto Issei, pulling him into a deep hug. Their endless sliding turned into a ridiculously long time. Going through loop de loops, the two slowed down and slowly came to a stop. Angron and Issei both sighed in relief at how it was over, only to hear a Sudden crack beneath them and a steep drop. Angron screamed at the sound drop, as Issei slid down on the icy steep cave side, building up serious momentum.
"This is the worst choice of my life." Issei screamed only to be choked by Angron's bone-crushing hug. Angron was startled by their endlessly sliding but could feel an excitement swell in her. Her adrenaline flooded her mind. Angron felt a small laugh escape her lips that soon turned into mad laughter. Angron felt such joy on this tunnel ride. Issei felt his heart skip a beat when hearing Angron's laugh. That laugh was like music to his ears, daydreaming more about how to make her laugh and be happy.
Issei was snapped out of his daydream, a bright light shined in his eyes. Issei could see a light at the end of this twisted tunnel. They flew towards the light. Issei held on to Angron tight, while she did the same.
They shoot out of the tunnel only to see the grass ground underneath them. They were only a foot off the ground, but both knew the landing would be rough. Issei landed first on his back, while the massive matriarch landed on Issei thankful it was mostly her upper body, but her shoulder did dig into Issei's stomach knocking the air right out of his lungs. With a mighty thud, they crashed on the ground.
Angron looks at Issei with a cheerful smile, only for it to become an awkward gaze as Issei lay on the ground moaning and groaning. But she could see that his armor had taken most of the impact of her weight. Angron became worried only to remember that he had suffered worse. Angron noticed the bright ground around them and she turned her head upward to see the sun in the world's sky. It was a bright yellow sun. While the purple sky softly illuminated the cloud world above them. They had reached the top of the mountain, this Goliath mountain formation pierced the sky and reached for the stars.
Angron smiled at the beauty of this world, this majesty was superb to many other worlds she had seen. The true sky was amazing, Issei had regained his breath, to see the sky, at last, the purple was beautiful, and the softness of the colors gave hope and comfort to those who gazed at it. Issei then remembered what this meant, what his action did.
"We made it!" Issei said for the first time in a long time for Issei, he had kept his word, and fulfilled his promise to another. He didn't fail, even when tragedy would show itself, he stood tall. Issei felt himself falling into a joyful Excitement. Issei moved to his feet gently setting Angron aside, so he could stand tall and look to the sky with a full stance. They were at the top of the mountain and he could see a sea of clouds below them. That glitter soft yellow and orange light of the fluffy white clouds.
"We'll you win today, but you won't win forever, you'll fail and when you do I'll be there to kill you bastard." The curse in Issei spat in a venomous tone of voice
Issei remembered his dread curse, it was still in him, as long as it was there, he couldn't keep helping anyone if danger could pop out of him at any moment. Angron could see Issei was in deep thought. She could feel him thinking strong thoughts, she was starting to hang off her psyker abilities, though her skill was a novice compared to Maguns or any modern trained psyker.
Issei slowly turned around to the mountain only for his eyes to widen in surprise. Angron also looked to do the very same, for they didn't stand on a mountain, they stood on a great grand tree, as millions of branches of different sizes stuck out from it. A miracle to this strange world. The tree stood alone, for there was no other in sight. Angron oddly felt the tree give off a warm psychic glow.
Issei then picked Angron again in a bridal style. A quiet whisper came from her lips. What Issei didn't know was that Angron could feel her legs move again, but she didn't say a word for she loved the way Issei held her. Issei looked down at Angron with caring eyes.
"Come on let's find some shelter." Issei said in a caring tone of voice. That made Angron's hearts beat faster. Issei noticed that trees were still walkable like the mountain, he even had a better footing, as the bark dirt, and the grass was much better to walk on.
They two had made the journey up this miracle of nature, finding it to be amazing. Issei could see holes in the grand trees that poured water down below, there was a forest growing on this grand tree. Moss draped ever were. All kinds of colorful Mushrooms sprouted everywhere. There was something about its beauty that made it unique compared to what Issei has seen before. It had an alien yet familiar look. Issei kept walking. The temperature up here was surprisingly warm, so it was a nice change of pace for them and that sun that happily shined in the purple sky.
Angron then pointed to a hole by the side of the tree. Issei could see it as well, it couldn't have hurt to see what was in there.
"Angron, are you sure we could sleep outside here?" Issei said nervously.
Angron raised a suspicious look at Issei.
"What the matter sacred." Angron taunted trying to loosen up the situation. Issei looked at Angron with a nervous glare.
"No I just don't want to fight, any more horrible monsters is all." Issei argued back, Angron could help but laugh at him.
"Oh come now Issei, after you slaying that Xeno, I'm sure nothing should be a problem when you shadow up." Angron said, laughing at Issei's choice of words. Issei sighed, annoyed that Angron was taking so many jabs at him. Then an idea popped into his head as he thought of a devious plan for revenge.
"Alright let's go find somewhere to rest." Issei urged in a happy tone, Angron narrowed her eyes at his cheerful action, feeling that childish humor in his Issei devilish smile also gave it away.
"What are you smiling about?" Angron asked.
"You'll see." Issei said as he ran towards the Entrance of the wooden cave, Issei could see it was more of a large divot than a cave. Though Issei didn't reject it, the opposition is better than the alternative.
They laid under the wooden ceiling, as it provided a new amount of shade. Issei set Angron down on the wooden floor, as she gently handled her so that she would hurt herself. Angron couldn't help but smile at Issei's carefulness even though she didn't need such treatment. When she was such a durable being. Angron then gave Issei a hard glare.
"What are you doing?" Angron asked.
Issei then put on a devilish smile as he looked at Angron's unprotected neck. Issei's hand slowly started to move toward her neck. Angron couldn't feel any malice towards her, so she allowed it.
"Nothing too serious." Issei said while shrugging his shoulders nonchalantly. "I'm just getting some friendly payback."
Issei then slid his hand on her lower neck and began tickling her neck. Angron for the first time in her life held her breath as she had an uncomfortable feeling build up in her, as she felt Laughter switch on In her. Angron had endured many forms of torture but Issei was relentless to try and make her laugh. The worst part was that she was losing. Issei began to move on her neck faster trying to get a laugh out of her, he could catch a glimpse of that emotional wall crack oh so little. He always wanted to make a person that was so closed off from others laugh. Issei then remembered a very important fact. He had two hands now. So he worked on the other side of her neck, both of his hands working in tangent to break her will to not crack up.
"You surrender?" Issei asked in a playful mocking tone. Angron couldn't help but smile at Issei's nonstop tickling, as the sensation of joyful tears leaked out of her eyes.
"You'll have to do better than that Issei, I don't crack so easily." Angron cheerfully challenged. Angron didn't even know what she was doing, this childish behavior shouldn't have stopped the moment Issei touched her, but damn it. She loved everything about Issei, how he smiled, and always made an effort to keep his word. Issei gave a cocky smile.
"Alright, you asked for it." Issei said as he began to move his hands faster on her neck, wanting to make her laugh like no tomorrow. Angron couldn't last that much longer until Issei gave a poke at her neck that finally broke the barrier that held all her laughter. Angron let out a laugh for all the world to hear. Issei couldn't help but stop to hear her laugh, Issei couldn't help but join in. Angron loved laughing; it felt so amazing to express herself in such a way that was impossible for her.
The two couldn't help but giggle with each other, Angron slowly sat herself up, leaning on a nearby wall sitting across from Issei.
Issei's eyes widened as he could see Angron was moving.
"You can move, that's wonderful." Issei cheerfully said. He then awkwardly rubbed his shoulder in a panic. "Hey sorry about that I um please don't be mad at me."
"Oh don't worry I know, you only meet to cheer me up and get your revenge, which I might say is very devious of you." Angron quipped, as felt the kind aura that glowed off him. "I don't mind if you touch me."
Issei blushed at the remark, though his mind did go into a dark place, as a feeling of guilt settled in himself. Angron sensed Issei's feeling of guilt.
"Issei what's amiss?" Angron asked in that gentle voice.
"You don't mind when I touch you?" Issei asked as he felt uncomfortable with what he did. "I'm sorry it's just I act before I think and I should have asked your permission and I'm just kind of an unattractive guy"
"Issei do you think you're unattractive?" Angron asked surprised this was even a question. Angron felt anger flare within her.
"Who told you weren't, well there very wrong you are a very handsome person and anyone who would think otherwise is a fool, who would dare not compliment, your slim physique, and nice soft hair, while your eyes are like chocolate Diamond? I clearly see your masters were not only stupid but blind as well." Angron's said in anger tone of voice.
Issei blushed at Angron's rant. Although he did wish that Angron would understand that Rias wasn't an evil person, just high Maintenance.
Angron felt her blush as well, she didn't want to risk the relationship with Issei. Her love could wait for all she cared. The topic needed to change immediately.
"Never mind my words, please let us change the conversation," Angron said quickly, trying to change the subject. Issei was surprised that Angron was blushing at him.
"Oh my she actually finds me hot, oh my god, I don't know what to think, I mean I don't mind, Angron has the hottest body ever and the most beautiful laughter. Hell, she knows how much of a pervert I am and she still likes me.I ..I …I oh god why does she have to say such nice things." Issei thought in a panic.
"Issei can you please explain your power, I think now is the chance to tell me. Before any interruption." Angron said to reinsurance Issei that it was now or never. Issei knew as well.
"Okay I don't know how to tell you this, but when I went to sleep before you took me into the forest, I saw someone in my dreams." Issei said retelling his story. Angron wonders who talked to him.
"The man who talked to me called himself Que, He said that he was happy to meet and that I pushed my own sacred gear out of me when I attempted to make myself stronger, I push away Ddragi." Issei's voice started to shake in horror. Angron could tell that Ddragi was someone significant in Issei. Angron felt Issei's pain and it reminded her experience when she lost Oenomaus. Angron sat near Issei and flared her power to suppress Issei's depression. Issei happily gazes at Angron.
"Thank you, so he told me I kicked out my friend and that I would get new powers, he just told me to figure it out on my own, then you woke me up." Issei said he was building up to the big curse news.
Angron had thought of that name, in her old home world culture Que meant never-ending darkness. So It kinda made sense for Issei's power. She couldn't help but compare Issei to the Emperor. His shadow was the exact opposite of the Emperor's light. She loved it to no end. Angron could see how Issei was moving uncomfortably
"Issei is there more to the story is there." She said figuring out there was more. Angron gently watched him. Her eyes showed Issei that he was protected. Issei nodded at Angron.
"Yay you see I'm cursed, it happened a while back when I and my Friends had to stop this egomaniac God called Loki, he was trying to bring the end of the world. We were there to stop him, I almost lost my like but we beat him. Though before I beat him, he cursed my very soul. It always kept replaying my trauma in my head. God, it was awful. It made me lash out like an animal, I became a monster of rage and it probably didn't help that I had a weapon to kill a god, so I got over it but I guess it was still there." Issei said In a raspy breath fear in his breath.
"And if I don't find a way to stop it I'll die." As soon as those words left, Angron's arms jolted around Issei in a hug like no other. Angron hugged Issei in a spectacular hug of devotion. That Issei could feel Angron's warmth inflame his heart in an Inferno of love. Issei blushed red.
Angron touched her forehead against Issei as she gazed into his eyes with a burning desire to rescue him.
"That won't happen as long as I'm here with you." Angron stated in a strong voice. Issei now understood what having weak knees for another was like and by god he loved it.
Issei had to force himself out of this warm lovestruck bliss to tell Angron more important information about his condition.
Issei in a soft whimper tried to try and talk to Angron before he passed out from a nosebleed.
"Angron… Can… You.. take the curse out of me, you're the only one who could get it out." Issei asked, trying to get rid of this curse to see the others. Angron heard Issei and let him go to stand on his own feet, though he did wobble from post-overdose passion from a super warrior Princess.
Angron gave Issei a curt nod.
"You saved me from my own Mutilated mind, now let me save your soul, I promise to save your life," Angron said as she knelt by Issei's side like a knight making a promise to a sovereign.
Issei blushed intensely but was beyond words to say anything to Angron.
"Thank you." Issei said with a spirited smile. Angron.
"I don't know how to remove your curse but I will try until my last breath leaves my body." Angron promised with her gentle voice. Her hands were planted on Issei's hips. Issei's arms wrapped around her neck. His dark cold armor made Angron shiver from its icy-cold touch.
The two gazed at each other with adoring eyes, each refusing to leave the other gaze. The second slowly turned into slow hours as they studied each other, finding the Beauty in one another, their faces inches away from each other.
"I will help you Issei I promise." Angron whispered.
"Angron." Issei whispered back.
Issei's brain was on pause as his heart was working in overdrive for this person in front of him. The two could only sit in the other present, enjoying the warm company it brought. They both oddly felt each other faces getting closer. Inch away from their lips meeting.
A small shy squeak was heard by the two of them snapping them out of their lovers' daze. The two turned their heads to see Logar of the World bears standing shyly away from them. There was a long awkward silence that settled in the wooden tunnel.
"Uh hello." Issei said awkwardly to the newcomer. Logan picked on Issei friendly as she smiled at Issei's nice gesture.
"Oh hello, it's nice to meet you." Logar happily said back.
Angron slowly let go of Issei and stood tall, finding out that Logar and Angron were both the same height. She grabbed the two-chain axes, one in each hand. Angron stared down Logar with an intense stare, while Angron held her weapons in a threatening manner. She even used her newfound psyker power to emanate an aura of fear around to sacred off Logar. Though she felt this wave of malice and unwelcome Energy, she stood her ground as tears began to trickle from her eyes. She had overheard some of their conversations.
"Is it true Angron, are truly free from the butcher's nails?" Logan said, trying to understand the site that was unfolding right in front of her eyes. The answer was obvious when she could feel another matriarch present like no other.
"Please bring to light the truth, I beg of you please. I want to know if you have been cured, then it is a miracle itself." Logar begged in an optimistic voice.
"Angron." Issei said, trying to gain her attention to not fight her sister. Angron eyes reckoned towards Issei. She couldn't just fight in a berserk rage, she wasn't that monster anymore, and Issei did have a point, maybe a little contact with others would help. At least Logar was one of the least she disliked, she always knew she was the runt of the litter.
"What do you want, Logar?" Angron asked in a calm, wary tone of voice. Logar had a simple smile at the confirmation of Angron's. It was true she was free and if Logar's ears didn't deceive this boy saved her. How in the world could he do such a thing? not even the god Emperor of mankind could save her sister.
"Oh joy my sister you are saved, please I understand that you won't let the boy-." Logar tried to say only to be cut off by Angron.
"Do not call him boy, his name is Issei." Angron growled in annoyance. Logan apologetically bowed. Issei actually didn't mind what he was called but it was nice to be called by his name.
"Forgive me, dear sister. Issei. I believed you were a hostage, but I was mistaken." Logar then switched her attention toward Issei. He found that Logar had a gently holy aura that warped around him.
"Now that I see you are lovers, may the emperor bless your marriage and happy marriage life." Logan cheered. Issei blushed at the Matriarch's words as he almost kissed Angron. Though Angron was not ashamed of her actions.
"Logar if all you wanted to do was exchange words then I'm unfortunately not in the mood and also my romantic feeling for Issei are no concern to you." Angron started in a calm Serious voice.
Issei's face flushed red, he wonder if Angron is serious about her feeling for him. Did she love him? A doubt spread through his mind as he felt a pain in his heart. Issei soon felt light-headed but didn't show any signs. Issei calmly stood his ground, as he felt a sharp pain spear his heart.
"Got yay!" a deep demonic voice sharply rang through his ears. Issei could only stand still like nothing was the matter. Angron sensed the curses present and kneeled by Issei flaring a wave of calm emotion in Issei.
" Dammit that one was close, I don't know how much longer I can keep it away, it feels like every time I push it back it gets stronger." Angron thought worriedly
Logar only eyed Angron with keen studying. Logan couldn't help but feel there was a completely different person in front of her. Angron spoke calmly, her eyes showed a want to understand and a living aura to work things out. The thought of violence never crossed Logar's mind, she only wanted to talk to the matriarch who stood in front of her.
Angron could sense Logar's emotion, she could feel Logar's excitement about learning new knowledge. But she stopped when she felt a familiar voice
"Please Angron, where your words are true, did this Issei save your mind." Logan asked, wanting to know more about Issei.
Angron sighed in defeat; there was no denying what she said. Angron pinched the bridge of her nose.
"Logar I know your yearning for knowledge, but I couldn't answer you truthfully, even if I wanted to, but I will not give Issei up, without a fight." Angron started at Logar with a stern glare. Angron's hands clasped her weapons tighter. Logar would not need to use her first but had words.
"I know, I can not stop you, but perhaps I can stop that curse that haunts your beloved." Logar suggested. Angron could feel no Malicious intent or trickery of any kind, Logar only spoke the truth and perhaps she did. The word bearers were known to be spiritual in some ways. Angron began to see more of the pros than the cons.
"What do you know?" Angron asked. "You're not going to take him to Maguns are you?"
Logar jested to move towards her book, wanting to ask for permission before taking off her hip in a swift motion. Issei's ears furthermore perked at the news; anything was worth a shot.
"Well Angron, as someone who has experience with studying many religions in their day I can happily say that I have had my strange encounter with supernatural things." Logan said in a happy tone like she was waiting for a moment like this to happen. Issei is thrown off by her happy tone.
Issei felt the pain in his chest but still walked towards Logar.
"So um hi I'm Issei-"
"Hyoudou, you lived on holy terra itself, while your nation was Japan itself. You are a kind, well-mannered man, Oh my you must tell where this Armor came from." Logar said, cutting off Issei and making the boy wonder why he even needed to introduce himself, also what was that last part about trauma? Logan could see Issei's Confused expression.
"Oh my forgive me, I just heard so much about you and I couldn't help but want to know more about you. Rogal talked so highly about you." Logar said happily, turning into excitement. Angron felt a small gasp between her lips. Rogal found Issei respectable. Rogal was such a wall to others. The fact she said more than two words was a miracle. Angron could help but oddly smirk at Issei.
"Did Rogal speak highly or did she simply tell what she saw?" Angron asked sarcastically.
"Issei if you could make Dorn say such nice things about you, I wonder what songs of satisfaction you would make me sing on those long nights." Angron quipped though her blush did suggest a more romantic sentiment. Issei still blushes like a tomato. Logar blushed as well. How Could her sister be so seductive to Issei? This was the same person who ripped people apart with her bare hands only to try and mate with Issei.
The feeling of pain slowly eased away, as it only confirmed that Angron may have loved Issei. The truth was he didn't know how to feel about Angron, should he just keep his emotions to himself, though the last time it happened, it ended horribly for him? Perhaps he could tell Angron how he felt, maybe that's the key to beating this cause. Though this newcomer sure helps too.
"I'm sorry I never got your name." Issei asked Logar. The matriarch smiled at Issei.
"Oh sorry, I'm Logar matriarch of the Word bearers." presented herself with happy cheers.
Issei couldn't help but stare at Logan's strange attire. Her style was very religious. The symbol of the book that had a flame on it was oddly similar to the cross. While her beauty was amazing, Not to mention the Religious writing that was tattooed diagonally across her eyes.
"So you said you could help me with my curse." Issei asked, attempting to get some answers for himself.
"Well perhaps maybe you should tell me about the nature and history of this Curse, there could be the answer in yourself or the past that could help." Logar inquired of Issei.
Issei nervously gulped and gave Logar an anxious look. Angron immediately stepped to his side and gave Logar a stern gaze. Making Logar back petal a bit.
"How did you even find us." Angron asked.
"We'll Actually you found me, you see after I heard of you taking Issei, I had to find him and write down everything he knew, my journey to this mountain was miscellaneous but educational. Though I did get hit by a rock, which oddly gave me a sign to move to the mountain which I now know is a tree." Logar retold, Angron then awkwardly stretched the back of her head. Issei slowly turned to see Angron act a little stiff.
"You good?" Issei asked Angron as she nervously looked away from Issei.
"Yep nothing wrong, please continue your story Logar." Angron asked in fastly.
"Then I found you here in each other's arms." Logar simply stated flipping through the pages of her book. "Well I'm glad I know you're fine, but there are those who are after you."
Angron raised her eyebrow at the information.
"Let me guess Leman is coming for me."
Logar said nothing but her silence spoke for herself. Issei had wondered who this Leman was, it was obvious she was another matriarch.
"Don't worry Angron if you just tell Leman you're okay I'm sure you'll be able to talk things out." Issei said, which only earned him a Skeptical look from both Angron and Logar.
"What? what's with the looks." Issei asked.
"When you meet her you'll understand, besides I loathe her tremendously." Angron stated. Issei was baffled by Angron's words. Issei wanted to ask what was wrong with Leman.
"Why?" Issei asked.
Logar stopped Searching through her pages, took a deep sigh, and had a sad look on her face.
"Should I tell him or you?" Angron said to Logar.
"That knowledge is Forbidden Angron." Logar warned as it sound if Angron spoke these Secret words there would be tremendous consequences.
"It isn't knowledge only rumors, you see Issei Leman as the honor of being the emperor's executioner; she killed two of our sisters, for noncompliance." Angron spoke in a grave tone of voice. Issei felt anger boil within. How could this Leman Do such a thing to their own family? Logar could see Issei's reaction and refused to allow Angron to spread such lies.
"It is only a rumor, nothing else." Low Garza tried to reassure Issei that Angron's news was based on false facts, but Issei only calmed down a little.
"Issei I have waged a war against Leman once when I was enslaved by my nails. Leman confronted me about my actions toward my children. I unfortunately now see my actions were wrong." Angron spoke in sadden tone of voice, Issei could see the regret in her eyes, as she lowered her head in shame.
"Wait your mom, you have kids?" Issei was surprised by the news, it didn't subtract from her beauty it just meant she was a hot mom by his ideals.
"No, you see some legions of Space Marines have gene seeds in them, it enhances them to have supreme levels of strength and power. They were the warriors the emperor promised."
"Oh." Issei said not quite understanding but putting the pieces together in his head. Logar could see the confusion in Issei.
"It is alright lost one, your time passed years ago, but now you are reunited with the holy Emperor light." Logar thought hopefully.
"Issei I want you to understand what I did was not my choice, I was a mentally sick person, in my years of conquest, I killed so many innocent people, but my greatest shame was I hated my legion, I hated them because they were never going to replace the ones I lost. So I thought I could share my pain to make them understand what monsters are, so I Implanted in all of them the butcher's nail. I know it was sick of me and Monstrous. Leman came there to stop me and bring me back to the Emperor for judgment. We clashed blades, I won against Leman but she had withdrawn her force." Angron exampled her eyes widen as she watched Issei's head look down as his eyes were obscured by shadow. Labor chucked at Angron's retelling of her story.
"Why do you laugh," Angron asked angered by Logar's chuckle.
"What is so humorous?"
"Oh, Angron you think you won that battle against Russ, did you not see her troops had you surrounded, while most of your Amry suffered more casualties than her Legion?" Logar said. "Perhaps your nails obstructed your memory as well. Angron annoyingly grumbled but was glad she didn't rage out at such a small sinker. Issei said nothing as he could only stand quietly. Angron began to worry more.
"Issei?" Angron asked now seeing how her choice could have upset Issei, felt an ache in her soul. She didn't want Issei to hate her, he was the only one who understood her. Logar watched the sense unfold in front of her. Angron
"Tell me you feel bad about it, tell me you hate what you did." Issei asked.
Angron stared wide-eyed at Issei at his request. The trust she had built for themselves was at risk. Logar wants to answer for Angron so that maybe Issei could understand the tricky nature of the war. Issei was from such a young naïve age of humanity. His judgment on morals may have been a little outdated.
"Yes I felt horrible, I know that doesn't make a difference, I don't want-"
"Will you save them?" Issei asked. Angron's eyes widened in surprise at Issei's answer. He then walked forward to Angron standing two-to-two with Angron not a once of fear was in him as he kept his head down.
"Wait, I don't understand?" Angron does not know what to say. Issei asked for an answer, not raising his head until he got one.
"I know you want to be alone, but if you can't go I understand. You were sick and no one could help you, but I wanted you to try, if I'm asking too much then I understand. But if you're going to free me, why not free them as well." Angron is uneasy to answer Issei; there was so much misery when she led her legions. There were Oceans of blood on her hands. Maybe Issei was right, maybe she could fix the wrongs. Angron grimly chorales.
"You want me to redeem myself don't you." Issei looked up to reveal his bleak eyes. Angron couldn't look away from Issei's gaze. She grumbled in defeat.
"You don't think you deserve another chance, you can think now, you can make better decisions now. Go back and show them that you are a good person, make the wrong right." Issei cheered on trying to give Angron a chance for herself. " I know you want to be alone but dammit I've diluted myself for too long and so may you. Do you think your companions would want you to be alone for the rest of your life, they wouldn't want that for you Angron, they would have wanted you to live and be happy." Issei had taken a silent pause before he took a deep breath "take it from somebody who's held onto their past For too long, it hurts and just does more harm than good. Your past doesn't define you, it's what you do after that. So please Angron you can make it better between your sister and legion, but if you want to be alone I understand. It wouldn't be the end of the world."
Angron had thought deeply about Issei's words. Angron cursed at how Issei made so much sense. She was no one's slave, especially to her past and the family she had they loved her so much, why wouldn't they want her to be happy? She could finally let go of it. Maybe today was the day for change. Angron, moved by Issei's words, didn't know what to say. She sat down on the ground mentally defeated by Issei's caring words.
Logar watched the two with widened eyes as Angron couldn't exchange the words to make a statement and sat in defeat. This Human had found the words to change a Matriarch, his words came from the caring human soul. Logar couldn't help but be impressed at the site she witnessed.
"Amazing." Logar whispered under her breath.
Angron softly chuckles. " All this time I tried to study you, but I was so blind to see you were studying me, bonding with me, your kind spirit and gentle humanity brought me back to mine. I thought that person was long gone. I thought Angron died on that mountain but I was wrong. She was still there waiting for someone like you to come and pick her up."
"You silver tongue devil, where did the shy boy who was at my mercy go? Now all I see is a strong man willing to fight for others that don't deserve it?" Issei smiled at her expression.
"Angron to be fair I think you're a better lover than a fighter." Issei tease.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAH." Angron Laughed hard at the joke holding her side in pain for this feeling of joy overwhelmed her. "Oh careful you, I know you get nosebleeds every time you're enticed by something alluring, I'll bleed you before you know what hit you."
"Oh really you'll be surprised then to find out, I'm not your ordinary pervert, I'm always at the top of my game, and if you think your rocking body will kill me then you got another thing coming." Issei happily changed.
Angron enjoyed this side of Issei, his brave attitude was quite funny. Yet loving and tender, maybe she could hope to see more of that in the future.
"Well if you two don't mind I think I've found what you need." Logar said, gaining the two attention.
Issei, glad to hear the news, walked over to where Logar stood, As Angron did the same. In Logar's grand book the page that was laid out in front of them had many strange symbols, but it has a picture of a man laying on the ground as black smoke leaves his body. Three people circle him, while one kneels by the person and lays their hands on her forehead.
Issei was unable to read a single word because it was in a language he had never seen. Angron raised her brow in wonder at what this page meant.
"What does this mean Logar?" Angron asked.
Logar smiled at the question, for she would gladly explain the deep history of the pages, telling every important detail to complete this ancient ritual. That many had died to just hide from the great crusade.
"Well Angron this is-" Logar tried to say only to be interrupted by Issei
"Oh this spiritual cleaning, I have heard of these, sometimes priests use these on people who have felt emotional damage or have had religious doubt." Issei explains.
Issei was met with a curious glance by Logar, while Angron smirked at how Issei answered before Logar. Issei awkwardly looks at the two rubbing his armor arm. embarrassed at his interruption.
"Dammit, these are two beings of Supreme skill and Strength, why would they need his input?" Issei thought Angrily. Logar could only happily smile at Issei
"Why yes, that's correct my you have such a variety of knowledge." Issei shyly smiled at Logar. He never really got any compliments on intelligence but it was nice.
Logar pointed at the man who laid down on the book.
"You see this is a spiritual cleansing, but the ritual says it shaves one being of their burdens and cleanses the soul, but we are currently missing some things." Logar Informed having a sad tone in her voice, disappointed that they would not be able to act on the ritual now. Issei was also saddened by the news.
"What do we need?" Angron asked intently.
"Well, we need a third-person body to help with spreading herbs, and sadly the most important element is that we need a Psyker." Logar listed in pondering tone of voice.
"Warp sorcery?" Angron said in a heated tone of voice. Warp sorcery is a disrespectful form of controlling the warp. The wretched matriarch Magnus the red was famed for it. Logar shook her head and sighed heavily; many of the matriarchs disliked the wrap, while Psyker we're seen as taboo.
"There is no Warp sorcery; it is quite easy to establish, even an amateur Psyker could do this." Logar stated.
Issei raised his hand.
"Okay, I have a question what the heck is Pskyer, and what's the warp?" Issei asked, wondering what the heck the warp even was. Logar would love to answer this man's questions.
"Issei the warp is a Dimension that we use for travel, its origins are very unknown to us but we do know that some beans are capable of using the warp and Psyker can manipulate reality itself by using the warp." Logar examples. Issei was in awe that a psyker could manipulate reality itself.
"Wow!" Issei said.
Logar chuckled at Issei being in awe.
"Yes, Issei a Psyker is a site to behold." Logar said excitedly. Angron snorted at their awe.
"Yes, it is a site to behold, especially when they're not exploding or turning into monstrosities by accident." Angron joked "make no mistake though a Psyker is powerful, their Powers can corrupt and destroy themselves and it happens more often than you think."
Issei Thought how crazy it was they could explode but hey that's just Issei.
"But unfortunately Magnus is our only option or should I remind you she is the only Psyker on the planet." Logar stated.
Angron smirked at Logar. She oddly was disturbed by it. Issie wonders the same as well.
"What are you smiling about?" Logar asked. Angron could only hold her hand out towards Logar, she closed her eyes and calmly breathed. Logar began to think if Angron had brain damage from her butcher nail brain removal. Issei knew Angron had special powers to control emotions, but what was she going to do?
Angron slowly opened her eyes to show that they were glowing yellow. Logar gasped at the spectacle in front of her as she could feel the psych energy around her.
"Angron your psyker how wonderful." Logar then happily giggled. Angron's smirk began to grow, as Logar's giggles turned into full-blown laughter. Logar's eyes began to worry as she found she couldn't stop laughing. Angron crossed over her arms as Logar fell to the ground in a laughing fit. Issei couldn't help but laugh as well.
"So what was that about Magnus being the only psyker." She said sarcastically. Issei knew that going back to the camp is not opposition for himself. Logar began to laugh harder, holding her stomach.
"No more…Please AHAAHA, I yield… AHAHAAAHAA!" Logar said in between laughs, Angrons eyes faded away to show those calm yellow eyes. There was so much going on that Angron smiled at the breathless Logar.
Logar slowly stood up and held on to her book, she was so happy that their Angron was a pskyer. It was all thanks to that boy Issei, he had done so much for them and now this miracle of a psychic feat was possible. Logar thought this boy was of some divine presence disguised as a human. Perhaps he was an angel of the Emperor. Logar would gladly want to know more about this person.
"So will you help us?" Issei asked.
"Yes I will, there's a debt to pay and I will gladly help Issei." Logar said bowing her head to Issei. "I would be honored to aid you, but we have a problem."
Logar looked at both of them with a concerned look. There was something in her golden eyes that showed disappointment in their situation. Angron realized that they need a third prison to spread the herb also we don't have any sacred herbs.
"We're missing a third person for the ritual and we don't have sacred herb." Angron sadly stated. Logar then looked at Angron with a sly smile. Issei didn't want to back knowing he could put the others in danger.
"The herbs are not a problem I always carer some with me." Logar show in her satchel. Issei looked in the back to find some of the planets had a familiar look to them.
"Logar that looks like weed." Logar offend by Issei's words, scoffed at the insoluble. "Issei these are sacred plants, planted and picked with gentle care."
Logar pulled a five-limped green fern. Issei didn't want offended Logar so he apologetically shook his head.
"Sorry no, I'm not saying that it's a bad plant, it's just where I'm from people use that to get high." Issei awkwardly scratched the back of his head. Logar studies the plant before putting back in her back.
"Perhaps they look similar, but to completely different plant." Logar said in a high might voice. Angron laughed and rolled her eyes. Issei knew what he say but wouldn't push the subject any further. Issei didn't want to offend Logar anymore.
"So where do we find another person to help." Issei asked. A silence took over to group all wondering how to do the Ritual. Logar found some joy in speaking with Angron, at least she wasn't mocking her every second like most of the others did.
"Perhaps I could be of assistant." a voice said from the shadows. Angron stood in ready to fight at the shade where the voice came from. Issei looked toward the direction to see a grove of trees that stood in the far right of the group. Logar also stood her ground while also ready to use her words, to talk to any who would dare want strife. Issei used his new powers to see who hid from them. Issei thought of the shadows.
"Tell me who hides in the shadows" Issei whispered in his mind, Issei then heard a small squeaking voice whisper back to him.
"The night hunter watches." Issei widen in surprise, but a nervous feeling settled in Issei.
"Konrad!" Issei yelled into the open. Angron and Logar both stood in front of Issei. If Konrad was here it was gonna be a slaughter. Angron and Logar both held their weapons ready for a fight, Angron glanced at Logar with a surprised look.
"You're going to fight with me?" Angron said.
"Yes because protecting Issei is the best for everyone and won't let anyone hurt him, the information he knows is too great to be lost, also he seems like a swell champ." Logar said, making Angron chuckle.
"Now I know they're wrong about you, no runt would stand by me now." Angron complimented. Logar smiled at the comment. "You're not so bad when you're not growling wildly at everyone."
"Ditto." Angron jokes.
Then a loud thud was heard In front of them, both turned to see Konrad standing in front of them with an angry scowl. Her dark blue armor shone in the sunlight, as Konrad growled in pain at the light for it mildly Reddened her skin. Her helmet formed around her face. It matched her armor color with glowing red eyes and goggles that Shine bright red, while on each side of her helmet had red bat wings. Konrad's home world was constantly covered in darkness so her vision was more in tune with that of darker places, while brighter lights actually hurt to bathe in for prolonged exposure. It was the same reason why her skin was so pale
"Sister there's no need for the fray, I come here to offer aid to your cause." Konrad said as she gestured with her arm out in the open. Issei pokes his head out from behind the two matriarchs standing in his way. Konrad felt her hearts beat faster just the mere sight of him made her feel joy. Oh, that strange armor looked good on Issei. Konrad had taken a step closer to them but stopped when Angron stepped in her path. Angron used her power on Konrad to sense any hostile thoughts, only to be flooded by feelings of worry and lamentation that had filled her mind. Issei thought Konrad didn't care for him, but he knew better. Konrad stood tall and knelt to both Angron and Lorgar.
"Let me help you save Issei." Konrad whisper.
Issei stepped forward to the kneeling Konrad. "Come on let's get this thing started."
Konrad was glad she wore her helmet, for Issei would not see the tears of joy that poured from her eyes. Angron rolled her eyes but chuckled at the site in front of her. It was then she felt Konrad's feeling that made her pause, as a burning affection for Issei surged in her mind. This was the same feeling she felt when she decided to fall for Issei. An Epiphany hit Angron like a thunderbolt. Konrad fell in love with Issei.
Angron felt Envious boiling in her, Issei only needed one and that was Angron herself.
"Konrad you made a rival today."
I'M BACK BABY! BACK from an amazing vacation, the Next chapter is going to be out next Monday. Sorry if guys had to wait to long. Also tell me what guy think about Issei heartbreak story, let me tell you people will be forgiven. Though the chain of command has changed. We also will be seeing Chaos next chapter be on the look for that.
I thought Angron's empathy powers will be way more effective than you think. Now that is out of the away time for more casting.
