The next month rolled. And sure enough flynn was kidnapped. Alongside sitri. The entire month we spent searching. Until we went into jeritza's room to find manuela wounded. We saw a stairway behind the bookshelf
"She's bleeding pretty bad. Edelgard. Dimitri you take her to the infirmary. The rest of us. Let's find out where this leads." i said. Edelgard and dimitri carefully lifted manuela while the rest of us went down in the darkness.
Underground chamber/shujinko pov.
"It's way too creepy down here. And it smells funny. and…BAH! A person! And there unconscious!" hilda yelled. I looked over to see flynn and sitri unconscious.
"There they are!" i yelled.
"Yes…but there's someone else too." hilda said. As the figure came over to us. With messy blonde hair and a shaven beard. He's wearing dirty armor. And a bandana head wrap. Someone I recognized immediately. My scumbag brother. Shin.
"So this is where you ran off too boy!" shin yelled. As he approached.
"You know him?" lysithea asked.
"Yeah. wish i didn't. Golden deer! This is my scumbag brother. Shin." i announced.
"You mean the same one who tried to rob your family blind to feed his drug habit?" hilda asked.
"The same one who tried to kill you because you stopped him from robbing your family?" claude asked.
"The ones whose actions caused your family to abandon you?" lysithea asked.
"The very same." i replied.
"You're still mad about that?" shin asked.
"No. if our parents want to let you rob them blind Under the bullshit pretense of "family always sticks together." than fine. I don't care anymore. I found a new family. True friends. And three beautiful girlfriends. My life has gotten alot better after I moved to fodlan. While you no doubt continued going down that downward spiral! But before we try to kill each other again…mind telling us why you stabbed manuela and kidnapped flayn and sitri?" I asked.
"It's simply a job. Some old guy with pale skin and a forehead you could land a plane on offered me a big pile of gold bars in exchange for the green haired brat. The hag and the green haired bitch just got in my way." shin replied.
"Solon…if your working for him. Than that means…" i said. As i drew my dan tien dao. "i have to kill you." i said.
"Really boy? You've fallen pretty far if you're willing to commit fratricide. Though i did say i was coming for you after that beating five years ago." shin said.
" If a thirteen year old boy can beat you. Than this i'll be a joke." claude said with his trademark grin. Causing shin to grit his teeth in anger.
"We'll see how easy this will be when i'm ripping your spine out!" shin yelled. He charged at claude. Heavily damaged broadsword that was essentially missing half in hand. I got in the way and blocked. I then pushed him back.
"You've had this coming for a long time. You loser!" i yelled.
"I'm not a loser!" shin screamed as agarthan soldiers appeared.
"Shujinko. Leave the mooks to us. This is personal for you. So go kick his ass." natsu said with a grin.
"Thanks natsu." i said as everyone fought with the agarthans. Me. byleth. Claude. And my girlfriend all rushed toward shin. Everyone had something to say to him.
"So your the fell star? You don't look like much. But that's not surprising considering you're a bastard child. Of a sluty nun and a dirty mercenary! What's the matter. Upset i heard the slut you call a mother?" shin asked.
"No. You're not worth my anger. The dirt on my shoes have more value than you. My dad is a mercenary. But at least he raised me right. Unlike the idiot enabler that your dad was." byleth said with venom.
"Oh i'll be worth your anger when i run you through with my sword!" shin yelled as he swung his sword. Byleth dodged. And retaliated by swinging the sword of the creator in it's whip mode and slashing him across the chest. Hilda than took a swing.
"Nice bod…why not ditch that boy who never succeeded in anything in his life. And be with a real man?" shen asked.
"No thanks. As someone from house goneril. I have higher standards than to date a drug addicted loser. And a perverted creep." hilda said.
"I'll show you loser! You pink haired bitch!" shin yelled as he swung his sword at hilda's neck. She ducked. And put a hand axe in his side. He pulled out the hand axe. Lysithea was next.
"A kid? Seriously? Fighting is for adults! Go back to the playpen!" shin yelled.
"I'm more of an adult than you. It's obvious to anyone except you and your enabling parents. That you deserved that beating. But i do have to say thank you. If not for you being a piece of garbage. And your parents being enablers of your awful behavior. I would never have met shujinko. So thanks for that." lysithea said with a grin.
"You little brat!" shin yelled. He swung his blade down. Lysithea jumped out of the way and threw a hade omega at the guy. Despite that he was still standing. Marianne had something to say next.
"You look like you're ready to jump into a noose. How about you do it and save me the trouble?" shin asked.
"How about you take your own advice…considering you've done nothing but cause trouble for literally everyone around you…even i find you pathetic." Marianne said with coldness in her voice.
"you dead eyed freak!" shin yelled. Marianne dodged his sword. Which was easy to do considering how blinded by rage he is. Making him utterly predictable. She retaliated with an aura spell. And despite all the damage he's taken. He's still standing. Now it's Claude's turn.
"Got something you wanna say pretty boy?" shin asked.
"Well. me and shujinko have that in common. We have brothers who want us dead. But at the very least. Shahid only made things bad for me. Not anyone else! You are just a lousy leach." claude said with unusual disdain.
"Enough! Enough of this! I will not be looked down upon by that stupid little boy! And his human pets!" shin yelled with utter fury as he began swinging his sword like a maniac. Claude dodges with grace and does a sweet flip putting about four arrows into shins back. This was the last bit of damage he could take. As he finally fell to his knees.
"For the record shin. The golden deer are not my pets. They're my family." i said. Shin just chuckled.
"So this is how you've fallen? That you associate and mate with monkeys? How far you've fallen boy." shin said. That pissed me off so i backhanded him right in the face. I then picked him up by his hair. And put my dan tien dao to his neck.
"Monkeys or not. Their smarter than our parents. Goodbye brother." i said the last part with disdain i was about to slit his throat.
"Shujinko stop!" a voice yelled…the voice of my so called mother. I turned around and saw my mother and father. I sighed and dropped shin.
"Hello…saya and daniel." i said. They looked at me with shock.
"Shujinko. I'm sorry for what happened five years ago. So please. Help your brother up and-" saya said. I got pissed.
"Oh great armageddon blade! Five years and you two learned nothing! How empty is our old house!?" i said.
"We…have nothing left…but family sticks together no matter what!" daniel said.
"Seriously?" hilda asked.
"I get that family sticks together. But there comes a point where you have to realize. There's no helping someone like him. Shin is a cancerous wart who will only bring harm to those who are stupid enough to get anywhere near him." lysithea said.
"Young lady. I don't appreciate such smearing of my son's character." saya said.
"She's not smearing! She's right on point! You two are just too stupid to see that!" hilda yelled.
"The fact our house is empty now proves that. And where is shiva?" i asked.
"Shiva moved into her own apartment two years ago." saya said.
"Well she's smarter than you two. Incredibly selfish. But smarter." i said.
"Shujinko! Don't say such awful things about your own sister!" daniel yelled.
"Why shouldn't i. She literally said nothing and walked away. While you two were throwing me out. That scar hasn't healed! It's still fresh! The bridge is burned! And I don't want anything to do with any of you ever again!" i yelled.
"Shujinko…" saya said as she tried to put her hand on my cheek. But i smacked it away.
"Take shin and go back home. If he sets foot in fodlan again. He will die. If not by my hand. It'll be by the church of seiros's hand. The two people he kidnapped. Our two highly important church of seiros members. The church of seiros is the biggest power in fodlan. And the archbishop is ironically not a very forgiving woman. She's sent people to the axe for less." i said as i walked away.
"That was…rather harsh." ignatz said.
"Are you sure you want it to end like this with your folks?" raphael asked.
"No…but if they want me to forgive them. They gotta realize where they screwed up first. Which hasn't happened. You heard them. our house is straight up empty because of shin. And yet they still haven't given up on trying to help someone who refuses to be helped. And that…is not my problem anymore. I have you guys now. And that's more than enough." i said.
"Well thanks for considering us family. But we're not a replacement for a mom and dad." leonie said.
"Let it go leonie…he's right to be upset. That man clearly has no intention of changing and cleaning up his act. And despite that. Those imbeciles still try to help him. Despite it bringing nothing but harm. If they want to reconnect to their good son. Then they have to actually cut off the parasite that is shin!" lorenz yelled.
"Not very noblisitic lorenz…but thanks. I'm glad you understand where i'm coming from." i said. As began to walk to the stairwell that led us down here.
"Did you kill him?" athro asked.
"I would have. If not my parents jumping in and stopping me…again." i said.
"So. are they still the same enabling idiots they were five years ago?" natsu asked.
"Considering my old house is now completely empty…yes." i replied.
"Not your problem anymore. Let's grab flynn and sitri and get out of here." natsu said. Me and athro nodded. I picked up stiri while athro picked up flynn. And we headed up.
Natsu pov.
"I know your there!" i yelled. And out of the darkness came yoshanai.
"So you bested shin? Figures. That berserker serum addicted buffoon couldn't best a thirteen year old boy. But now that we're alone…I can finally exact revenge on you for my father!" yoshanai yelled as he charged.
"What the hell are you talking about!?" i yelled as i also charged. After a lot of clashing of sword and axe. Yoshanai got the better of me. Leaving a massive wound on my chest.
"Pathetic. Is this really how far the man who killed my father has gone down in strength?...oh well. An easy victory is still a victory." yoshanai said as he raised his sword ready to behead me.
"Forgive me…profesor…el." i said. As i waited for the blade.
"Don't you die on me natsu! Get up!" a voice yelled. I opened my eyes to see a hand axe fly at yoshanai. He blocked only to receive a killer axe to the gut. Being wielded by edelgard.
"You made a big mistake princess." yoshanai said. As he ripped out the killer axe and threw it to edelgards feet. She picked it up and aimed at him.
"Maybe you're right…but I don't care. Natsu saved me. So I'll save him." edelgard said. As she pointed her axe at him.
"You both will share a grave!" yoshanai yelled as he charged. Only to get slashed in the back by byleth.
"Get away from my students." byleth said with anger in her voice.
"Tch. three warriors is more than i care to fight. I'll be back. My family will be avenged." yoshanai said. He warped away. Byleth and edelgard helped my up. And took me to the infirmary everyone was shocked that i got this badly injured. I was put in the bed and given medical attention.
"You look terrible dear." manuela said. As she was in the bed next to mine.
"No worse than you professor manuela." i said. I sighed. Hope i can recover before the battle of the eagle and lion. Otherwise there going to have a massive handicap.
