As Elliot's stares in disbelief at what he is seeing before his eyes he

cautiously extends his hand towards Rean expecting his hand to go

as if Rean was a ghost but the complete opposite happens. Seeing Elliot

raise his hand he also raises his hand and touches Elliot's confirming

that he is real and that Elliot is not seeing a ghost or mirage and gives

him one of his familiar smiles. Elliot realizing that he is not seeing

things replaces his shocked expression immediately with tears of joy "

Rean your back your really back!!!" he says moving from his seat and

wrapping his arms around Rean in a tight hug " but why would you

come back to us after all this?" asks Elliot " because i can't call myself a

friend and simply watch as my closets friends suffer because of my

decision" answers Rean returning the hug "and i'm sorry for having

caused everyone so much pain for my selfish decision without anyone

else's input says with tears forming in his eyes " Rean don't say that

we all knew that there was no other choice that you could've made

in that situation even if it we didn't want to believe it" says Elliot " your

right but now none of that matters he says and this time I'll make sure

nothing will seperate class 7 from each other" says Rean. After the two

finish comforting each other Elliot starts to wonder about something

else "what about Crow and Millium are they here with you ?" asks Elliot

as if to answer him Crow and Millium immediately burst open the door

and rush over to Elliot " Hey Elliot hows my favorite violinist doing" Crow

says putting his arm of Elliot's shoulder and ruffling his hair up with his

other hand " Crow your i can't believe your here" Elliot says before

almost having the wind knocked out of him by Millium hugging him

"Elliot!!!" she shouts " Millium your here as well" says Elliot while trying

regain his breath " were here to" says Musse as she, Kurt, Juna, Ash, and

Altina enter the chapel as well " Rean's old students your here to how are

you all here why are you here?" says Elliot " its along story" says Ash ,

after everyone enjoying their small reunion with Elliot left the chapel

and brought Elliot up to speed about how Rean, Crow, and Millium

managed to beat Ishmelga thanks to the mysterious voice and how

they showed up at the monument were they met up with Kurt, Juna,

Musse, Ash, and Altina. They also told Elliot about how they were trying

bring the old Class 7 back and reunite everyone like it was before this

is were Elliot's expression showed some uncertainty " i don't about that

idea" says Elliot " i mean yeah i want us to be together again but the last

time everyone was together it was really tense " how come?" asks Juna

" well because when Rean, Crow, and Millium left we thought you'd be

gone for good this time which resulted in us mainly feeling sorry for

ourselves this eventually evolved into us being frustrated with everyone

else and eventually each other in fact this actually wasn't the first time

we had a get together that had a tense atmosphere" he says " so what

happened on that day?" asks Kurt " well at first we all thought that this

would be another tense get together until Machias and Jusis just

snapped and got into an argument with each other we all tried to calm

them down but it just ended up making things worse" Elliot answers "

i don't remember exactly what they were arguing about but all i know is

that it almost ended in things getting violent and by the end of the day

this get together ended with Class 7 being disbanded and we all went

our separate ways" everyone sat a pondered on everything that Elliot

told them. " that's what could cause Class 7 to get into an argument like

that to were everyone turns violent" ponders Rean " so there's nothing

else you can tell us ?" asks Juna " yeah pretty much that's all i know"

answers Elliot " so what are you guys going to do know ?" he asks " isn't

it obvious we are going to find the others and collect more information,

then we can find a way for everyone to reconcile with each other and

get Class 7 back together" answers Juna " right Rean" hearing her

ask him for conformation Rean snaps out of pondering and nods

in agreement " theirs no point in thinking about this with such little

information I'll have to wait for us to gain more later" he confirms in his

mind " we'll if that's how it is then count me in I'm tired of seeing our

group in shambles" says Elliot " we were hoping you would say that"

says Ash " welcome aboard" says Crow " so were do we go from here"

asks Kurt " we'll the first thing we should is get back ton Valimar and

Ordine they should be able to get us to a new location" says Crow

everyone agrees and begin to head out of the Chapel. As the group

heads out they notice that it is currently night time in the village " huh

its night that's not good for us" says Elliot " why is that ?" asks Kurt " if i

remember correctly the Luniarian Nature Park is closed by now" says

Rean " that means we can't get to Valimar and Ordine from here" " i

guess that means we're sleeping at the inn tonight" says Crow " i guess

we should rent out two rooms then one for the guys and one for the

girls "says Rean " it's starting to feel like were having a field study again

says Elliot feeling nostalgic" Rean would you like me to keep you warm

tonight especially with how scarred your body is right now says Musse

staring longingly into Rean's eyes and hugging his cursed arm " yep

definitely getting separate rooms for the guys and girls says Rean

quickly walking ahead of everyone towards the inn " awww says Musse

in fake disappointment " some things never change" says Juna

sighing. So the group enters the Inn and rents out two of the rooms for

the night one for the boys and one for the girls while the girls. As the

groups split off the boys and girls choose their beds while making

Musse isn't able to try anything during the night. as everyone is sleeping

Rean wakes up to see that Elliot is not in his bed, wondering what is

wrong he quietly exits the boys room and sees Elliot sitting at one of

the tables pondering about something Rean heads down the stairs and

approaches Elliot " having trouble sleeping?" he asks to Elliot behind

him " huh oh yeah kind of" answers Elliot the two look at each other in

silence for a minute trying to figure out something to say " umm Rean

can we talk?" asks Elliot " huh sure anytime" says Rean taking seat on

the other side of the table "so what's on your mind?" he asks "well the

thing is I've been pondering something and its made me very nervous

Rean the scars from Ishmelga's curse they're not dangerous are they?"

" no i don't think so" says Rean" i mean besides causing me to have

episodes of weakness but that's all that happens" " okay that's good"

says Elliot " im just glad that nothing bad will happen to us while

traveling" " what do you mean?" asks Rean" your afraid theirs a

possibility I'll lose control of myself again right" Rean says in realization

Elliot's only is nodding head" I'm sorry Rean i know that you, Crow, and

Millium have just gotten back but the last time we were all together we

had to be very careful so that you wouldn't go berserk so i just want to

be sure tha..." before Elliot could finish what he was saying Rean

immediately starts laughing leaving Elliot confused " um Rean?" he asks

" I'm sorry its just that i forgot that your always worried about us" Rean

answers Elliot looks embarrassed at Rean " don't worry about it Elliot

that just defines who you are, why your a valuable member of

Class 7, and a great friend" he says smiling " thanks Rean" says Elliot

returning the smile " is that all that was on your mind" Rean asks " yeah i

think I'm good now" " that's good because i think some people are

eavesdropping on our conversation" he says loudly while starring

towards the stairs" "crap" says Juna " told you he would sense you"

says Crow peaking his head out the door Rean immediately hears the

sounds of shuffling towards the girls room and the closing of the door"

seems i wasn't the only one that was worried about you huh" Rean says

while standing up" anyways I'm heading back to sleep are you going to

do the same or stay up a little bit longer" he says " yeah i think that's a

good idea" answers Elliot as he joins Rean and they both head back to

the boy's room. After having a nice rest the group collects their things

have a quick bite to eat from the Inn and begin heading back to the

nature park. After a few hours of traveling the group makes it to the

Nature Park were meet with the caretaker again" well if it isn't the group

from before i see you found your friend" he says " yeah pretty much"

says Crow " so is it okay if we can enter the nature park" he asks " oh

yeah i was just about to open the park but be careful i heard some

unnatural sounds going on in the park so watch out" the group thanks

the caretaker for the information and head into the nature park. As the

group makes their way through the park towards Valimar and Ordine

the sounds that the caretaker mentioned start to become noticeable "

what is that?" asks Kurt "don't know but it's close" says Ash "well

whatever it is it sure sounds loud and angry" says Millium another sound

was heard but closer " um hey we left Valimar and Ordine over there

right" asks Juna while pointing toward the direction of the sounds " uh

oh" says Crow " come on we need to hurry" says Rean " we can't

whatever those attack Valimar and Ordine" everyone nods in agreement

and they start running to Valimar and Ordine's location. As the group

makes into the area they spot the source of what was causing those

sounds a group of Archaisms that seemed to be surrounding Valimar

and Ordine "Archaism's what are those things doing here !?" asks Juna "

no idea but that doesn't matter anyway the only thing that does matter

is turning these things into scrap metal" says Ash drawing his axe"

agreed preparing to destroy obstacles" says Altina summoning Claimh

Solais " wait there's something wrong with those Archaism" says Rean "

how so" asks Kurt as if to answer Kurt's question the group of

Archaisms turn around to reveal a corrupted form of an Archaism" what

the hell is that ?" asks Ash pointing at what seems to be some sort

crystal like objects poking out of the Archaisms exterior shell "i have no

idea but it looks to be some sort of corruption" says Elliot "i think your

right alright then everyone be very care..." before Rean could finish his

corrupted arm suddenly starts to tremble and the veins in both his

corrupted arm and on the corrupted parts of his face start to shimmer

a little causing lurch over and fall on his knees in agony his eyes then

begin to change to a more demonic look like then ones he would have

when his ogre form went berserk " what's happening to him?!" asks

Juna " those eyes" says Altina backing away they begin to hear sounds

also coming from the corrupted Archaisms as they seem to react to

Rean's corrupted parts as well. Suddenly the Archaisms begin engage

their weapons and prepare to attack the group everyone immediately

draws their weapon " everyone we have to defend Rean don't let a

single one oc those things touch him" says Crow but before they could

even prepare for that they hear Rean give a demonic roar and faster

than their eyes could track dash directly towards the archaisms and

unleashing a huge barrage of slashes with gale immediately cutting

every archaism in half he then stops in front of the archaisms and

finishes them of with a demonic crescent slash causing the archaisms

to explode with the archaisms gone Rean seemingly starts to turn back

to normal and starts to fall but Kurt and Crow manage to catch him"

Rean are you alright" asks Crow " yeah im fine just drained" Rean

answers before starting to cough up blood from his body being pushed

to hard " well as normal as i can be right now" he says giving a weak

laugh. after giving Rean a minute to recover the group prepares to leave

for then next location" alright then Valimar how are we doing on the

recharge" Rean asks " i should be able to get us to the next location ,but

are you sure its fine for you to move yet?" says Valimar " yeah I'll be fine"

Rean answers " but man what were those things is this the "darkness"

that the voice mentioned" Rean ponders in his head " so were are we

heading next" asks Musse " let see then Valimar can you update on the

other members of class 7 besides Elliot " wow it really is Valimar and

Ordine" says Elliot whispering to Millium " yep its them alright" she says.

"excluding this location i detect seven other signatures one has moved

to another location" says Valimar " alright then Valimar lock on to one of

the signatures and send us there " says Rean "acknowledged" says

Valimar " you do the same Ordine" says Crow " understood" says Crow

the two divine knights then open the spirit path and the group are sent

to the next signature.
