Chapter 8
-Smell the flowers-
-Plains of Torigoth-
"...*Yawn* " Azurda greeted a new day with a tired face ; 5 minutes more wouldn't be too bad..
His morning routine was simple : Flying around their camp if they had uncessary "Visits" , do what must be done if nature calls and check Romeo and Juliette.
"..Nothing around here - OH ARCHITECT WHAT HAPPENED?!" His screams caused to see what yesterday was a plain bursting with nature's life
To a mere plain full with bones or remains of monsters ; performing a feat such like that would totally crown this mysterious perpetrator as the Apex Predator or Merciless Hunter.
The Larva once Titan came back faster than the Hyper Clock Up system.
[Perphaps TORNA? Animals went berserk feeling the Power of the Aegis on Ether? Some Hunter?] His old mind creating theories of all types came back to the camp.
"Rex! Pyra!" Moving them to awake , Azurda tried all he could : Shouting , removing some hay , touch their heads , shake them and yet..
"...ZZZZZ.." They were lost inside a dream.
"..." Our Larva Titan tried to move Pyra first by opening Rex's arms..
"..GRRRRRR.." Growling Rex's body got stronger out of nowhere, Azurda let go..
[That noise...] Those were exactly the same noises he heard Yesterday's midnight!
You know what? Screw it ; He's going to have 10 minutes more of sleep.
-Hours later-
Sun raised proud ; birds were singing ; people going to work and kids to school and...
"...*Munch* *Munch*" Rex ate some remains of an Ancient Sauros.
He awakened first , Gramps and Pyra still on deep sleep nearby..so he did his morning routine.
...Calm down some Rider Powers...
Say he is "Human" can be an understatement..
"..I really want to say to someone "Hello! I'm a Century King ; Overlord ; Bugster ; Orphenoch and Undead! nice meeting ya!" Imagine their reactions! They would surely think he's a character created for a Fiction by how stupid it sounds.
"However would Pyra be affected too?" His mind didn't think it..
If Zi-O's Power is linked to another...
[She gained some armor? I guess back in Torigoth..But what would happen if?] Overthinking as always , Rex had many questions.
Would the [W and Revice Ridewatchs change]? Could she feel this constant hunger?.
His breakfast started as something simple and ended with him questioning his own nature and place in this world.
Would Pyra have nightmares with Him too?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Would Pyra feel jealous when she learns he owns a bunch of Legendary Swords such as the Seikens or Zanvat?.
Rex came back carrying some leftovers of his breakfast to share ; comparing Gramps and Pyra ..he perphaps eats too much.
"It's a new day everyone!" Said happily
"Morning Rex" Pyra thought how many days would take them to reach a nearby town.
Walking? Days..
"We should get going" The safest route would be through a nearby forest.
"Sure let's get going" Rex put Azurda inside his helmet , it looked like some sort of Pet (Cute for Pyra).
"Ok" Pyra walked suprising Rex..
"Where are you going? We have a bike you know?" That felt like an insult ; He's a Kamen RIDER ; He has a collection of vehicles!
Deploying his Ridestriker , Rex started it
[VRRRROOOOOM] The machine roared ready for action.
"I-is it safe for me to ride?" She felt how he struggled when they escaped from the Ancient ship.
"Sure! We are just two" One should use a helmet but given his circunstances..
"Ok.." Pyra placed in front of Rex ; The Young man prepared himself..
"..Hrhgg! Too Heavy!" Pyra will remember that.
"What!?" She quickly got up , Rex realized what he said..
"Emm...I meant the Bike! it's too heavy for me!" Fixing his mistake , Rex transformed it into the Junglaider.
"This one is better for both , let's get going we still have sunlight to spare" Pyra took her position again..
[VRRROOOOOOOOOOOM!] Motor roaring Blade and Driver departed with their few belongings.
"W-We are going too fast!" Pyra didn't expierence this before!
"I know! that's the idea" Rex looked carefully as they entered to an open area.
-Airspace of Gormott-
"Here are your reports Lady Morag as you requested!" Inside a ship Mor Ardain's troop were retreating to a nearby town to find answers about "Torigoth"
"Good , Dismissed" Morag checked some destimonies ; when she arrived finding panic spread all over town..and those weird testimonies..
"I-It was a human sized monster! b-but it looked like a bat!"
"It started bitting people and transforming them into stained glass minions!"
"No Human or Blade could harm it! My Brother who just became a driver died because of it!"
"It all ended when a Demon King and his Blade ; The Aegis! Right! THE Aegis , I thought those were only fairytales but no.."
"He..fought them without effort and seemed to hold back! His suit looks so techincal , like a Clock!"
"He used same devices as the beast! Like a clock device"
"Then he gained a bat for armor!"
"He..Killed the Beast by burning it and then..it broke appart!"
She has heard various crazy reports on her career but these quickly ranked number one.
"Bat monsters? Demon Kings? The Aegis?" She didn't want to believe however seeing Despair and Shock on survivors faces.
she could tell lies were not spread.
"Do you believe previously collected testimonies Brighid?" Her Blade also acted strange.
"I will believe when I see it by myself" Brighid next to Morag totally lost in thought.
[Rex..What have you done?] She refused to accept the idea of a guy who just flirted with her (Poor advances but still he could improve , no one had done so before) did an entire massacre.
To think such power is with Myhtra..It would be weird considering her current goal..she wouldn't ask him to end her...
[You know..this feels..nice] Mythra's voice echoed inside Pyra's head.
The Redhead was having a blast riding Rider Machine with Rex..
Her fears vanished ; Wind softly kissed her head , letting her hair go free..
[I wouldn't mind doing this once in a while] She didn't want to admit it..but with Rex she felt..safe..
"Hold on!" His voice so firm as he performed a stunt to gain speed (and Impress them but he won't admit it).
"See that Pyra?!" Gosh that smile of his...
She wanted..wanted him to say her name.
"I..I.." "Pyra" tried to say something yet she couldn't..
"I see a nearby town! " Azurda abruptly awoke by Rex's driving skill (Bumps and all that noise did annoy).
"That's where we are going! But..when did it get so late?!" Time did not wait as night slowly started.
"I am delighted by the fact we could arrive so early" Pyra regained control of herself.
"Ahh , Ventisca Town also known as "Windy City" I have heard good stories back in the day" Rex's mind travelled back hearing "Windy City".
"Such a lovely place" Our party stopped near the entrance and walked around to NOT look suspicious.
"..And..what to do now?.." Stopping at the entrance Rex turned to Pyra.
"If my approximation is correct we could rent a ship and sail towards the World Tree , we do expect some sort of defense system right?" Pyra nodded there is one..Artifice Ophion..or just Ophion.
"Or just stay here for a while and rest , hit the town , I saw a Carnival near Town's center" Pyra did want to stay..and so Mythra.
But each break they take Malos could use it as advantage on this Race towards Elysium.
"We should stay..recharge batteries..and maybe change clothes..because."Pyra didn't want to say Rex could be a criminal , he only nodded.
"I saw an Inn near a Water Tower , why don't we discharge our little belongings there and then we can explore and buy?" Both nodded exploring a bit..
Little they knew someone was spying them.
"Bingo" Said the Figure striking Jackpot.
