Guest: Thanks for pointing that, I plan rewrite the older chapters, and I try to simplify the character's appearance in the future. I'll cut down the explanation for Edens Zero characters or simplify them (Edens Zero character changes outfits in each arc.) tbf, I wasn't confident of the readers knowing how the character looks, so I tend to write overly detailed write ups of the character's descriptions.
Omar Saif: I am accelerating Labilia's character growth, ngl her rushed redemption wasn't satisfying in the manga. I have plans for everyone's favorite bitch and it will be pain. This is not a threat it's a promise.
This is going to be an exposition heavy chapter.
After Louise had calm down from her shock, she was sipping tea with someone claiming to be her Professor Colbert. And, he looked far from being middle-aged, he looked like he was in his early 20s.
"Kirche had the same shock expression as you did, Young Valière. But, it is nice to see you safe and sound." Colbert said with a sigh of relief.
"But, how did you become so young?"
"Well, it was a side-effect travelling through time had on me. I arrived on Bluegarden as as a 7-year old 20 years ago from the Reverse Summoning Incident on Halkegenia."
"But, that was hours ago..." Louise said.
"For you, but those that got sucked ended up in different times, planets and ended up younger. I was the first to exit the portal, followed by Kirche and Tabitha."
"Currently it's x492 the current galactic year. I turned into a 7 year old boy and ended up here at Bluegarden on x472, 20 years ago."
"While, Kirche and Tabitha both became 4 year olds and ended up at Lendard on x477. The both of them ended up befriending the royalties of Lendard. Kirche became the royal playmate of Princess Elsie Le Lendard and Tabitha, becoming the youngest Azure Knight of the Holoway Royalty, she became Prince James Holoway's bodyguard."
Colbert finished as he sipped some tea.
Louise eyes widen upon hear that information, "There is no correlation with Elsie Crimson to this princess, right?"
"No their the very same person." Colbert answered.
"But, how did a princess turn into a pirate?! Did Kirche corrupted the princess somehow."
Colbert sighrd, "No, there was a Civil War on Lendard, I don't know the details of what truly happened there as both Kirche and Tabitha swore secrecy to each of their own side of the story. Tabitha followed James Holoway to the Union and Kirche followed Elsie to form the Skull Fairy fleet. That is the extent of what I know."
"... So, Kirche and Tabitha are now enemies?" Louise said as she was wrapping around the idea of the former are now enemies.
"From, what I gather from Kirche, no. They will follow their own leaders, but they were still friends. They still up meet when they're on break and hangout in secret."
"I see..."
"Louise, I want to discuss something very important and listen to me well." Colbert leaned on his elbows on his knee as he covered his mouth with his hands.
"I am listening, Professor." Louise nodded.
"Tell me, Louise since we travelled in time where do you think are we? Are we the future or past?" Colbert asked.
"..." Louise didn't know what to say.
"Louise, I will tell you now. We're 6,000 years in the past. The Halkegenia that we know doesn't exist... I had found Halkegenia deep in the Frontier, but the kingdoms hadn't form yet."
Louise felt tears gathering in her eyes, "I-I trapped us here..."
"Louise, Kirche, Tabitha and I had come to terms with our new reality. But, Louise you just arrived and this will come as a shock to you and I wanted to tell you the truth."
"I would like to see this as a fresh start to your life. The cosmos is a massive place to go have an adventure, and since you're with Ziggy's grandson I know you're in good hands." Colbert smiled.
"Who is Ziggy exactly? I never asked Shiki who he was. But, I keeping hearing him being a Demon Lord or King by people..." Louise asked.
"I assure you he isn't as evil as the title would imply he is actually a force of good on the Sakura Cosmos. But, he shutdown a few years ago and had passed on."
"But, the Church says that-"
"Louise, I know we were thought by the Church many things, but I tell you now all of them are lies." Colbert told the pinkette with a serious tone.
"But-" Louise was about to argue by she was interrupted by Colbert.
"I want you to listen to me carefully, Louise. Do not trust the words of Brimir and his cult." Colbert his expression twisted into anger.
"What do you mean." Louise started to become worried and distressed by her Professor's words.
"Louise in the Four Great Cosmoses, there is a group called the Oracion Seis Galatica or OSGs. They're six of the most dangerous outlaws in the Cosmos and Brimir Nidavellir is part of that." Colbert explained.
"Why is he a criminal?! He was the noblest of all mages, he wouldn't do such things!"
Colbert sighed, "That's thing at first he wasn't, went I first met him during my time as a Union soldier even part of his fleet as his Captain. He was even part of the OGS's counterpart, Oracion Seis Interstellar. He was called Sanctus, but he changed after our expedition." Colbert used projected a hologram of Brimir.
He had light pink hair and deep violet eyes his attire consist of a lavish mage's coat and having light colored armor pieces on his chest, arms and legs. There was distinct lack of emotions in his facial expression.
"Expedition?"
"To the Frontier, it was a vast expanse of space that wasn't charted. We were searching for Mother in the deep into the Frontier. But, Brimir didn't like what he found there and the journey had changed him."
"How did he changed?"
"You see Louise, his Ether Gear Void at first it wasn't a well understood power but it was known to be the purest form Ether could take. It's like a blank canvas wherein you could paint whatever you desire. But, the more power Brimir had taken into himself, the more he lost his mind. He became obsessed of idea of being reborn through Mother, and made it his life's goal to reach her. The power of the void takes from you your emotions, feelings, sensations and your mind."
Louise felt a sinking feeling as she listened to Colbert
"This expedition was an desperate attempt to cure himself, and during the expedition we had found Halkegenia."
Louise's eyes widen from what Colbert said.
"But, it wasn't the planet of humans or mages. It was the home of the elves, it was there planet before we arrived." Colbert had somber expression as he told this Louise.
"The elves had a way to commune with Mother, as they were her children. We thought we had found a way to Mother, they even welcome us and treated us guest. But, when asked if they can open a path to Mother, they decline as he wasn't suppose to reach her. And, the worst possible scenario happened."
Colbert exhaled as he seemed to recall a horrible memory, "He massacred the village of elves out of spite, he killed innocent men, women and children because they deny him."
Louise gasped in horror as she listened to Colbert.
"I was the first to admonish his vile actions, and he punished me speaking out by imprisoning me in the brig for insubordination. The others that weren't comfortable with the act, were forced to follow his orders to massacre the Elves that deny him access to Mother's Temple or his so called Holy Land. He even forced the Chieftain's daughter to be his first familiar, the Gandalfr."
"I thought I was about to watch helplessly as he killed elves with no remorse. But, I was lucky when a young James Holoway and Tabitha freed me. With their help we had managed to rally the majority of the Sanctus Fleet for a coup against Sanctus."
"Did you win?" Louise asked.
"Yes, but we paid the price with the blood of a lot of Union soldiers. We have managed to convince the Chieftain of Elves to fortify the Temple and defend it against Sanctus. His loyal crew the Saints of Sanctus were extremely powerful Ether Gearist that push Me, James, and Tabitha to our limits."
"We managed to hold out long enough for the Jaguar and Eraser Fleets to arrived, and they managed rout the remnants of the Sanctus Fleet." Colbert took a sip of tea as took a brief break.
"Then what happened?" Louise asked.
"The Union had made relief efforts to the elves for the damages caused by Sanctus, now calling himself Brimir, The Prophet of the Void. The elves rejected any help from us, they told us to leave the planet and never to disturb them again. And with the power of the Temple of Mother they had teleported the planet into deep space."
"How could they just move a whole planet?" Louise asked.
"We don't know but they left traces of Mother's Ether which left that area of Frontier Space covered in a dense Ether Fog that will shut down any ordinary battleship."
"Louise, I urge you to forget what the Church has taught us. The Brimic faith is a lie, even now he is gathering strength in the cosmos by indoctrination of people into his cult." Colbert warn the pinkette.
"I will trust your words, Professor." Louise said silently.
"Good, heed my warning do not get involved with that madman. If you ever encounter him run."
Louise's tea had gone cold and she prepared to leave.
"Louise before you go, take this." Colbert handed Louise a smartphone and Guild Card with her name and picture.
"You are familiar what a smartphone is?" Colbert asked.
"Yeah, Rebecca taught me how to use one." Louise explained as she fiddle with her new phone.
"And, this will act as your Galactic ID, being an unregistered person will make things difficult for you. You might get into trouble in some planets that would need an ID to enter. If you lose it, you could always create a new one with your phone." Colbert demonstrated this by using his phone created another hardlight copy of Louise's ID.
"Your friends are probably waiting for you, so go along now." Colbert waved for Louise to leave.
"Thank you for telling all of this, it was nice seeing a familiar face in this new world." Louise told Colbert.
"Think nothing off it. Have fun exploring the cosmos and always be wary of its danger."
With that Louise had finally left his office.
"Was it wise too give her too much information on Brimir?" a feminine voice asked Colbert.
"Amira, I assume that Noah sent you to eavesdrop on me?" Colbert put gaze on the woman who decloaked herself on a corner of the room.
Amira had blonde hair tied into curly twin tails and brown eyes. She was wearing an open sleeved skin-tight jumpsuit with the zipper of her chest being open enough to expose her cleavage.
"Not really, I was just really curious of Louise. You mentioned her being the cause of your time anomaly, I also heard from Jesse that Louise had the same Ether Gear as Brimir too." Amira made her to the tea cup that Louise used and drank the rest of it.
"I already told Noah that Louise is off-limit for one of his hare-brained schemes. I would prefer to keep it that way." Colbert a sent a glare to the blonde spy.
"You can't protect that brat all the time, especially if she involved herself with Rebecca and Shiki so trouble will find them." Amira shrugged.
"It's a matter of time before those kids get involved with the cosmos' big names out there if they want to get all of the Shining Stars."
Colbert sighed, knowing the spy was right, "The best I could do is armed them with knowledge and tell them to be cautious."
Jinn had cuffed Labillia dumped her on the cargo hold of the starship alongside with the other B-Cubers and celebrities.
"Jinn we have new orders, Sister informed us of another target." The older of the Vanish Brothers spoke.
He had a shaved head but there is a long que tied around his neck, he had sharp eyes and his face had a stylized wolf tattoos under his right eye.
His attire only consist of a white chinese tunic with green accents and black black pants paired with dark martial arts shoes. He had black gaunlets on his hands.
He threw a dataslate at Jinn's direction which the O-Mech android caught with ease.
"Her name is Rebecca, she is a relatively obscure B-Cuber, Illega is a big fan of her."
"I see..."
"She won't be an easy target, the girl can defend herself and she has a strong Ether Gearist for company." the young Vanish Brother spoke.
Paradoxically, the younger brother was a giant standing nearly 6'5 feet tall. He had dark curly hair that juys wildly around his head, he had an orange headband with the same stylized wolf as his brother.
His attire consist of a dark biker jacket and white pants that had cut-off to show his O-Mech legs.
"We'll assist you if her company proves to be too troublesome." the older brother said.
"Very well." Jinn nodded as he vanished like the wind.
The Vanish Brothers soon followed.
After exiting Colbert's office, Louise had found her way into a table where Shiki, and Pino were waiting for her.
"Hey, Louise! How did your talk went. Did you become friends." Shiki said with a easy-going smile on his face.
"It's complicated, I don't want to talk about it for now." Louise as she sat on the vacant chair on Shiki's right.
Shiki looked over the pinkette with a worried look, "Did he hurt you?!" Shiki exclaimed.
"No, no, no. It's just that I am still thinking about what he told." Louise admitted with a sigh.
"Miss Louise, are you going to be okay?" the pink robot asked the pink haired girl.
"Just give me some think to mull over it." Louise's stomach decided to growl.
Louise went red as she desperately tried to hide her face.
"And, some food!" Shiki grinned.
"I guess eating something is in order." Louise grabbed the menu.
Louise didn't know what she was looking at, all she can see are foreign symbols that was alien to her. The picture on the menu helped but even she couldn't identify some of the food here.
"Miss Louise are perhaps not familiar reading galactic common?" Pino asked.
Louise nodded to her shame.
"I detect a smartphone on you, could I perhaps borrow it?"
"It's fine here." Louise fished out her phone and gave it to Pino.
Pino began clicking some thing on the phone, there was a short pause. Then Pino pressed her tiny finger for the last time.
Eyeglasses made of pink hardlight Ether formed in-front of them, "Here try using these Miss Louise."
Louise followed what the tiny robot told her and wore them, when she looked back at the menu she could now read it.
"Thanks, Pino." Pino beamed happily from Louise's praise.
"Wow! I didn't that thing could that, space is really cool." Shiki said.
"Universal Translators are a very common addition to any device in the cosmos." Pino explained.
After looking over the menu, she wss still unfamiliar with the selection. She knew some of the basics like spaghetti and meatballs, and various stews. But, things like Hamburger, Hot Dogs, French Fries, Noodles and Softdrinks were unknown to her.
The guilds best seller and recommended is their Shooting Star Burger. Louise wanted to try it, so she ordered one.
Shiki and Pino had to instruct her how to use via clicking what she wanted with the menu. The wait wasn't long as her order was done very quickly.
A robot waiter arrived bringing Louise's order, "Have a great day, ma'am. You can follow up any order you want, just click on the menu." the robotic female voice said. She did a curt bow and leave.
Louise is now looking at a burger on a plastic wrapper, fries on the sides with a cup of iced tea. It looked like a sandwich but the bread was made into a bun.
Louise was surprise how big this burger was around quarter of a pound of a beef patty, bacon, melted cheese, fresh onions, tomatoes and lettuce.
Shiki had ordered the same thing but it was significantly bigger than her burger.
"How do I eat this?" Louise asked as she wasn't obviously given any utensil.
"With your hands, like this." Shiki demonstrated putting his burger over his mouth and taking a massive bite on it.
"Looks barbaric..." Louise said, but she followed Shiki's lead though she did it more gracefully than the gravity user.
This was her first bite of the food of this new world. She didn't like how greasy it was, but it wasn't bad after getting used to the sensation. She was pleasantly surprised how delicious the burger was, the presentation could do some work but it was taste over form.
The fresh produce made a nice contrast with the crunchy bacon, the meaty patty and the smooth cheese. It was a novel flavour experience. She kept eating the burger until it was gone satisfying her hunger.
She didn't eat like a pig like Shiki did, she had to occasionally wipe off some of the mess taking a bite off the burger did with the disposable tissues given to them along the order.
Even if the food was delicious she still have class.
"It's delicious right?!" Shiki asked as he grinned at Louise.
"Shiki wipe your mouth." Louise told the boy as she shoved a tissue in his face.
"Sowwy." Shiki said as he was muffled by the tissue over his mouth.
Shiki took the tissue and began wiping away the leftovers on his cheeks and mouth.
After their short lunch, Rebecca had returned to the table.
"Hey guys, something happen while I was gone?" Rebecca asked.
Shiki shrugged, "Nothing really."
"Louise how did your talk with the Deputy go?" Rebecca turned to Louise.
"It did go well, as it can be. The Deputy was someone I knew."
"Wow! So he came from the same planet as you, what a small world, huh?" Happy said.
"Something like that. So, how did your talk with Guild Master went?" Louise asked.
"He wasn't in the office, so Happy and I decided go back another day."
"Anyways, Me and Pino had thought about to go look around Bluegarden." Shiki said.
"Well after everything that happened today a stroll around Bluegarden doesn't sound half-bad honestly." Rebecca said.
Louise was amazed to what Bluegarden had to offer from entertainment, service and food. As she was guided by Rebecca she had seen many diverse peoples from the common citizen, middle class workers, robots and aliens of many shapes and sizes.
Louise swore she saw an Elf that was mingling with other humans, robots and aliens. Everyone here co-existed with each other and to Louise this was a foreign idea. Even the standard commoner in Bluegarden had a better quality life relative to a noble in Halkegenia.
Louise had to gawk how the very rich lived, having Mansions that made the Tristanian Royal Castle look modest in comparison. Rebecca had shown Louise pictures of such mansions from the Ethernet and video of douchey influencer from B-Cube showing off these mansions.
They were like commoners who given access to riches only nobles could dream of.
Louise had askes who rule everything in the cosmos, and Pino just knew the answer.
Apparently, Monarchies and Empires had faded out and went out of practice. Only a few planet practice these government type if they still have a royal family they became a figurehead to the planet while the planet is led by a parliament. And, a large majority of planets had a democratic leadership.
Where the masses can vote in a senator to represent them in the Galactic Union, and the greater cosmic community.
Louise was surprised that Pino knew all of this and tell this to Louise.
"Pino, you sure do know a lot about space, huh?" Shiki asked even as the talk of cosmic politics went over his head.
"Well, Master there are some things I don't know like the dog that goes 'puunn" you talked about." Pino pointed out.
"Oh you mean these fellas." Rebecca showed them a picture of a Nikola Canis on her phone. It was a selfie taken with Rebecca and Shiki on his first day on Bluegarden.
Happy looked unnerved by them.
"How is that a dog?" Louise looked at the white snowman in confusion.
Rebecca just shrugged casually, "They just are."
They had ended up in alleyway as Rebecca knew a shortcut to a park with a Sola Tree she wants to show them.
But, as they went into the middle of alley someone had dropped down in-front of them.
It was a green haired ninja wearing a black cloak.
The group tensed up, and immediately knew he was up to no good.
"Who are you?" Shiki asked as his markings flared up as a warning.
"Someone who is doing their job." he answered as he suddenly vanished in a swirl of wind.
The next moment he was in front of Rebecca with a punch aimed at her. But, before his fist made to Rebecca, Shiki had grab his arm in tight vice grip. He subtly increased his weight which Jinn immediately noticed.
"So your job is bullying women?" Shiki snarked.
Shiki went for a kick to his face, but Jinn had decoupled his arm from himself putting distance between him and Shiki.
"What the? Your arm?!" Shiki said in shock as he held the appendage.
"Master, my analysis shows me that he is 60% mechanical, he is an O-Mech Cyborg." Pino had a halo that says 'ANALYSIS' over her eyes.
Before information sink in, the rocket on the arm came online and went straight for Shiki's face, he managed to bend his back to avoid being.
Jinn made other into a ninja handsign as redirected his arm around Shiki.
Shiki had managed to dodge the rocket arm that was orbiting around him. Until it returned to socket on Jinn's arm.
Shiki didn't saw Jinn approaching from behind kicking Shiki in the back which sent his flying backwards.
"Hey have a taste of this you ducky!" Rebecca shot Jinn in the head with her Ether Rifle that was also Happy.
This momentarily stunned the green haired ninja, he recovered quickly eas he backflip away from Rebecca's covering fire.
Shiki had also recovered and he had a fist covered Gravity Ether ready to pummel him. But, Shiki's blow was intercepted by the backside of a Wok. The older Vanish Brother arrives with Wok with a long handle.
With a quick movement he flipped it with the front-side and slammed the Gravity Coated Wok back at Shiki with arms blocking the hit. Which sent Shiki flying back.
A shadow loomed over Rebecca when she looked up, she saw the young Vanish Brother aiming a kick at her.
But, Louise quickly act by sending an explosion his way which hurled towards his group.
His biker partial shredded by force of the explosion, "You bitch! This was favourite jacket." he exclaimed.
"Calm yourself brother." the older brother spoke.
"Yeah, bro." he glared at Louise.
"Jinn take care of the boy, and we'll handle Miss Rebecca here."
Jinn nodded as he rushed at Shiki with Wind Ether enhanced attacks, "Skymech Ninjutsu: Windstorm Palm Strike." Jinn thrust his palm forward and blasted into the highway besides the alleyway.
"AARGHH!"
Jinn immediately pursuit the gravity user using his Wind Ether to fly.
"Shiki!/Master!" Rebecca, Louise and Pino collectively shout.
Before they could move to assist Shiki their path was blocked by the Vanish Brothers.
Rebecca had the worst case of deja vu with these two.
"Who are you suppose to be?" Rebecca aimed Happy at them.
The older positioned himself in the front and put his left hand over his chest in vertical angle.
The younger brother was behind but mirror his pose.
"We're the Vanish Brother, the Southern Wolves of Norma." they both said in-sync.
The younger brother jumped up on Wok's handle and his swung his around to launch at great speeds towards the girls.
Rebecca was quick enough side step and avoid the kick. She noticed older brother went after her with his Wok ready to swing at Rebecca.
Rebecca duck under the swing and shoot at him in retaliation. The older brother was quick to use the backside of his Wok to absorb the Ether from Rebecca's bullet.
Ether marking flared in his face as he face the front side of Wok towards, "Reflect." he shouted.
Louise wasn't fast enough to dodge as she was hit in the gut with compressed Water Ether to the gut, causing her to double over.
"Hnrk." Louise held back tears from the pain.
"Louise!" Rebecca didn't noticed the younger who was behind her, the only think she remember was being kicked hard in the stomach before losing consciousness.
"Miss Rebecca!" Pino began running towards Rebecca's unconscious body.
"Damn, pile of scrap!" the younger brother was about to kick Pino.
"Pino! Watch out!" Happy had transform himself back to his cat form, he tackled Pino taking most of the kicks blow.
Parts of his face was cracked and his entire left arm got destroy from the force of the blow.
"MISTER HAPPY!" Pino began shaking Happy's unresponsive form.
"Brother take the girl, we got what our cilent wanted."
"Yeah, Bro." the younger brother carried Rebecca on his shoulders.
"You BASTARDS!! Let Rebecca go!" Louise channelled willpower on her staff aimed at them.
The older brother saw the explosion coming and he moved to block it with his Wok. But, he shocked the Wok didn't absorbed the explosion but created a hairline fracture on the Wok. The force of the explosion pushed him back a little.
His younger brother moved and kicked the pinkette on her temple knocking her unconscious.
"That's for my jacket you bratty bitch." he spat.
"Bro, what do we do with her." he gestured at Louise.
"We leave her be, we have completed our quota with Miss Rebecca. I call back Jinn to rendezvous point" he told him.
With that Vanish Brother left with Rebecca on hand.
Pino was sobbing as she didn't know what to do with Happy and Louise down, while Rebecca was taken by them.
Shiki was about to crash on a moving truck, but he got his bearings. He flipped around the truck as he reset his momentum from Jinn's wind blast.
"Wha-" The truck driver was shocked of Shiki's sudden appearances.
"Sorry!" Shiki apologized he jumped around dodging Jinn's relentless rocket fist.
Shiki began jumping from car to car to avoid the rocket fist. When Jinn caught up him, he going for a punch.
But, he shifted his Gravity to be under the ninja. He used both of his legs to kick him upwards. Jinn spun a few before he centred himself with his wind.
Jinn was looking around trying to find Shiki. He looked up and saw Shiki with his fist gathering Gravity Ether.
"Magimech Attack: Gravity Fist!" Jinn didn't had to block as Shiki scored a direct hit on his stomach. Jinn gasped for air from how heavy the hit was
Jinn was sent flying back to the ground, he activated his Wind Ether he could crash on the road. The cars swerving around him.
Shiki landed shortly after.
Jinn flew upwards as Wind Ether was gathering his right arm, "Skymech Ninjustsu: Windstorm Blade!" he slashed his right arm into an X-pattern creating a X-shaped wind blade.
Shiki altered his gravity to avoid the wind blade.
The had cut through the road beneath Shiki leaving a massive gash on the road. Cars around the blast were sent flying off road. 8 car were sent flying off the freeway.
Shiki heard the screams of panic from the people in the car, he hesitate to save them.
"Magimech Attack: Gravity Center!" Shiki began tagging each car sending them back on the freeway.
The last car was too far away and Shiki had manually chase it and lift it back with his own body.
Shiki made a sigh of relief as he got the cars accounted for.
The people in the cars began moving away from the chaos.
"Phew." Shiki wiped the sweat off his brow.
Shiki glares at the green hair ninja who just standing there, "You could have killed those people!"
"And, you wasted your time helping them in the middle of our battle?" he shot back.
Jinn's attention seems to be somewhere as he listen to his communicator.
"The target has been secured, fall back."
"My job here is done." Jinn began walking away in the opposite direction.
"Hey! Are you running away?! We aren't finish!" Shiki prepared a combative stance.
"My name is Jinn, we shall finish our fight on Guilst." Jinn made a handsign and he vanished in a swirl of wind.
Leaving Shiki there.
"Shiki!" Louise shouted from the sidewalk.
Shiki's veins ran cold as he saw the state Louise was in and anger was rising from him.
Louise's pink hair was frazzled, her clothes was in disarray and there was blood flowing from her temple. In her arms was an unconscious Happy with his arm missing and part of his face was broken. Pino was right behind Louise.
She was heavily leaning on her staff.
Shiki was at her side the moment he saw her. He took Happy off her arms and he began looking over injuries.
"Louise what happened?! Where's Rebecca?" Shiki frantically asked the pinkette.
Louise couldn't look Shiki in the eye as she bit her bottom lip in shame, "They took her... I couldn't stop them, I was so weak, I am nothing but a zero!" Louise berated herself as she felt her tears flowing hard.
She couldn't save the one of the few people who was nice to her, and she felt worthless for her pathetic showings.
"Louise stop that! It's not your fault." Shiki puts his free arm around Louise and put her head into his shoulder.
"I swear that those bastards will pay for hurting all of you!" Shiki told the pinkette as he grit his teeth in frustration.
Louise's continued sobbing into Shiki's shoulder and cling to him for comfort.
"That Jinn bastard told me their from Guilst, don't worry we'll save Rebecca." Shiki reassured as he rubbed circles on Louise's head.
Weisz punched a nearby wall in frustration as he was kicked out of the brothel, because they taught his ID fake.
"Of fucking course it would be invalid!" Weisz screamed out.
'Welp so much for introducing myself to the ladies of the future.' Weisz sighed.
He just wandered around Bluegarden for a while have no goal in mind. It would be an headache and half to create a new citizenship in Bluegarden. Weeks of doing jack all, he had no connections and he didn't like menial guild work. His glee (the currency in EZ) wouldn't last the week.
As he was wandering about, his eye caught the prettiest woman he had ever seen.
She had luscious dark blue hair tied in a high ponytail with a yellow ribbon and she had rich chocolate brown eyes. Her skin was more on the tanned side.
Her attire complimented her gorgeous figure, she was wearing a heavily modified yellow yukata with maple leaf print all over. The sleeves were detached and her front was open to reveal a skirt and thigh-high stocking hugging her delicious thighs.
"Why is there a creepy perverted man ogling me." she said aloud as she looked at Weisz.
"Hey, I wasn't ogling you!" Weisz denied the young woman's very accurate assessment.
She covered her mouth, "Forgive me, sometiems I can't stop saying my thoughts out loud."
Before Weisz could put on his Steiner swagger on this blue haired beauty, a emergency announcement came alive on one of the skyscraper's holoprojector.
"Breaking News, multiple reports of B-Cubers and celebrities were kidnapped or have gone missing. Authorities are currently investigating which syndicate is responsible for such heinous crimes." The female news reported.
Weisz's brow furrow in concern, 'Wasn't Rebecca a B-Cuber?' the blonde thought.
"Pino! Contact the Edens Zero so Witch pick us up in the docks!" Shiki shouted.
"Right!" Pino answered.
Weisz saw Shiki ran past him as he carried an injured Louise and Happy in his arms, while Pino was clinging on his shoulder.
'Shit was Rebecca kidnapped?' Weisz's furrowed deepens in concern.
"The Edens Zero... Crap I did it again." the woman said.
"Did you know about the Edens Zero?" Weisz asked the young woman.
"Actually, I have been searching for it." she said bluntly.
"Say, I could take you there if you do me a favour." Weisz said with a smirk.
"Very well, I will accept any of your demands, no matter how lecherous it is - Oops, I did it again."
"Don't worry it will be hands off, no touch." Weisz had an easy smile on his face as he raised his arms.
Weisz closed on her ears and whispered what he wants.
The young woman had a slight blush but shook it off quickly, "Very well, I fulfill your demand safter I help you rescue Rebecca and you bring me to the Edens Zero."
"I'm Weisz Steiner by the way and you are?"
"Homura Koegetsu." Homura introduce herself.
"Follow me, we have a battleship waiting for us."
Homura nodded and followed the strange perverted man.
And done...
I hope you guys don't mind the lore dump at the beginning with Colbert.
So yeah Brimir is a bad guy and he starting his space jihad on the elves for the Holy Land. Btw, i have zero (heh) knowledge of ZnT lore and I am spitballing with him. But, iirc he still did some horrible shit.
I change some history of the EZ timeline too fit what I want.
We are going to enter Guilst Arc.
As Kenobi will say "You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy."
I might bump the rating to M cuz like EZ can be dark and morbid.
