Elysium's Heroes
Chapter 10. What's the plan?
Rex was half awake and half sleeping. He noticed he was very warm and very comfortable. He opened his eyes and got greeted by a beautiful sight as he was being hugged by Pyra and Mythra next to him. Pyra was on his right and Mythra was on his left. He looked at the clock and noticed it was already 9AM. It was time for breakfast but that meant Pyra needed to get up. He remembered how easy it was to wake her up from last time. he didn't want to move. Besides he was very happy in what position he found himself in anyway. The warmth he felt from his most trusted blades was a feeling unlike any other. Both of them in their pyjamas. Beautifully asleep. Only he got to see them this way.
He closed his eyes again snuggling between them to get even more comfy. Pyra still had her hands on his chest while Mythra's were on his belly. He didn't have a shirt on. Only his shorts. He must have forgot when he got into bed yesterday, not like he wanted to anyway, Pyra and Mythra loved touching his abs and muscles. He didn't mind their warm hands touching them either. That's when he noticed Pyra had her eyes opened. Rex a little shocked; "I really though I moved careful enough this time." He thought to himself.
Pyra put a finger before her lips. "Shhh" Rex just nodded and smiled at her. As she got closer and leaned in for a kiss. But she really went for it this time. Practically leaning herself entirely over him. Mythra was still sleeping like a log. "I won't allow Mythra to beat me." Pyra whispered into his ear. "I'm not sure if I should intervene or enjoy your rivalry that you two have created between each other." Rex whispered back. Pyra put her knee between his legs and pressed her chest upon him to whisper one last time. "You should just let it happen." As Pyra and Rex started their passionate kissing Mythra started to wake up from all the noise.
"What the…?" Mythra woke up in her usual confused self, she was a little calmer about it though. "What's the matter? Pyra asked with a playful smile. "Nothing I just want a turn, quit hogging him all to yourself Pyra!" as now Mythra leaned in for a passionate kiss. Pyra just smiled and let it happen. Suddenly without any warning or knocking the door of the room flew open and Nia stood in the door opening.
"Hey Pyra, would you mind making some break…fast… …?" "Ohhh well what do we have here...? Hehehe." Nia grinned at the marvellous sight that she witnessed. "Well, you kids have fun but I'm not waiting much longer for breakfast Pyra." Nia said as she closed the door. "Oh already 9:15 AM? Yeah, I should really make breakfast." Pyra said. "Well… you two have some fun. But not too much fun, I'm warning you." She said as she closed the door behind her. Rex laughed it off, but Mythra seemed a little nervous. "What's the matter?" Rex asked. "Pyra is usually really kind but when she is serious you need to be careful. That was her serious tone she just gave me." "Wow even after all this time I am still learning new things about you two." "Well, she said to have fun so come here." and so Mythra and Rex continued.
"I'm sorry about dragging you out of your fun Pyra. but we need to have a good breakfast for the fight that we are going to have today." "Don't worry I made sure Mythra won't go overboard. And if she does, she is going to have some problems with me." Pyra said as she turned on the stove.
Nia: "Wow Pyra what's this about huh? I have never seen this side of you."
Pyra: "It's my serious side, it's to make sure Mythra won't go overboard."
Nia: "Go overboard with what?"
Pyra: "With Rex."
Nia: "You two are really making a fight out of this aren't you?"
Pyra: "Yup, and if she won't listen, then that fight will turn into a full-on war."
Nia (A little scared now): "And what will that mean…?"
Pyra (With a grin): "Let's just say Rex won't see the sun for a while."
Nia: "I never took you for the greedy type."
Pyra: "Don't worry I am only greedy about Rex. I don't need anything else."
Nia: "That boy is so lucky…"
Pyra: "Yes he is."
Mythra and Rex got down from the stairs and noticed Pyra and Nia already eating their breakfast. Rex and Mythra got at the table to join.
Pyra: "Did you behave?"
Mythra: "Sigh… yes Pyra I behaved."
Pyra: "just checking."
Rex: "Hey can we talk about our plan for today?"
Pyra: "Right, what is the plan?"
Rex: Well… Tora made some improvements for Poppi to get easier to Ophion. So, if we need to get to his head than we can do that.
Mythra: "I still can't believe Malos corrupted him. Was taking our memories not enough power for him?"
Pyra: "I don't want to talk about that anymore. I just want to pretend it never happened. It was so horrifying."
Mythra: "It felt like we were running away from our own memories in order to save them. But to no avail."
Rex: "I'm so sorry… I just wasn't strong enough to help you."
Mythra: "NO! WE should have been more open to you earlier. WE should have been more honest from the start."
Pyra: "…"
Nia: "…"
Rex: "Don't blame yourself for this Mythra."
Mythra: "Think about it. The moment we were being honest about our power is the moment Pneuma was unlocked within us. And you accepted it without any hesitation."
Pyra: "She has a point. I should have been more honest with you as well."
Rex: "Look you can't force your own feelings. Don't forget you were so afraid of your own power you didn't want to live anymore. You can't just casually force feelings like that to the side. I am glad you were finally able to open up to me and I wouldn't have had it any other way. You did it when you were most comfortable to do so. That's what's important."
Pyra: "Thank you Rex."
Nia: "Uhm not to break the emotional moment but is this it? Is this the plan?"
Rex: "We don't have anything else."
Tora and Poppi QT got downstairs and joined their dinner.
Rex: "Is everything ready Tora?"
Tora: "Tora ready as he ever be!"
Poppi QT: "Poppi Has fully charged Ether Furnace. now completely ready to take on the enemy."
Nia: "Wait… Malos Got a hold of Ophion thanks to the Omega Fetter from Genbu right? Won't we need that in order to get him back under control?"
Mythra: "It won't be much help now. The omega fetter was merely used to change his regular instructions. Malos did the reprogramming by himself."
Rex: "Then let's go, Malos couldn't do anything that you can't Pneuma so we shouldn't have any problem. And if we do… we might need to defeat him to reprogram him.
The party made their preparations to change Aux Cores, Accessories and Pouch Items and went to Azurda in order to get to the Cliffs of Morytha.
Azurda: "The cliffs of Morytha will take a while. Since the titan is rotting it didn't join the collision of Elysium so the journey will take some time." The party got onto Azurda's back and flew towards Morytha. "Is Siren going to be a problem as well?" Nia asked "Nah, Siren has always been under my control. He should get down whenever we order him to do so." Mythra answered. Pyra noticed Rex standing on his hut talking to Azurda.
"So, are you sure about this Gramps?" "Thank you for your concern, Rex. But I am quite happy with how we Titans live." "Okay… I was just making sure." "Are you disappointed Rex?" "Not at all, I am glad you are happy with your life. I guess I am just a little sad that when I die it will take a long time until I can see you again. Because Titans grow so old." "Oh Ho, you are making me emotional Rex. But I will see you again afterwards though it may take some time, and hey, you have Pyra and Mythra there with you to keep you company until I come around, right?"
"I will watch over him." Pyra said who walked up to Rex and pulled her arm around him. "And besides Rex, you are only 15. you still have a lot of years before you die. You shouldn't have to worry about stuff like that yet." "Maybe not but I will make sure Pyra and Mythra will be there with me." Rex said. Pyra said nothing but simply smiled and closed her eyes as she leaned her head against his shoulder. "Rex I am afraid it will take a while before we get there. And it's already evening. You should take a rest. Tell the others to get their sleep. We should be there by tomorrow morning." "Okay Gramps but don't overexert yourself, okay?" "Oh, you know me, I don't ever use more energy than needed."
Rex got down from his hut and told everyone to grab some sleep. Everyone should be ready for tomorrow. Rex got to his hut to sleep while Tora and Nia grabbed their sleeping bag. Pyra and Mythra joined Rex in his hut before he went to sleep. "What's the matter? Rex asked when the girls entered his hut. "Well… we told you right? We don't want to be separated anymore." the bed of his hut is very small and barely fits 2 people. Pyra and Mythra changed into the form of Pneuma. "There, now we should fit right?" "I… I guess so…" as the couple cuddled under the blankets Pneuma made sure to give Rex lots of kisses before sleeping. "Let's continue were we left off this morning huh?" Rex just smiled. "You two are the most beautiful woman there are." Pneuma blushed and tried to hide it by immediately kissing him again. "Thank you, Rex."
