Chapter 7: We believe...

The Calibara Forest were at peace once again, but now, Juan and Annelotte must face another challenge in their way... Eli Hunter, a knight and captain from the Queen's Army stood in their way with his bladed pointed at them! "Annelotte, Heir to the Kreutz Knights... Juan the Renegade Swordsman... You are under arrest for treason of the Queen and the Continent..."

"Damn..." Juan gripped his sword tightly with Annelotte doing the same. "Guess we can't back out of this..."

"So it seems..." Annelotte agreed to that. They were ready...

"I'M TAKING YOU IN!" The Knight charged forth towards the Rebel and the Princess Knight, as they prepared for the fight! Juan and Annelotte worked together to block Eli's blade with a few sparks flying! The two worked together to push him back as they did, but the Knight wasn't down yet!

He landed on ground but charged in once again, but this time attacking Annelotte with full force! She saw how his movements were strange and unpredictable like Juan's, but tried her best! However, the Knight was sent flying in the air with Juan noticing this in a heart beat! "Don't keep your eyes off!" Eli said to him as he slashed at him, but Juan didn't take his eyes off Annelotte as he also amazingly blocked Eli's attack!

"You got a lot to learn, Kid..." He told him as the Rebel shoved him to see the clear opening with a quick kick to his chest! The Knight slid on the ground when he was kicked, but thought fast! He stabbed the floor of the hard ground to slow him down as it worked! His eyes witnessed the view of the Rebel jumping in the sky to grab Annelotte.

He held her in a bridal carrying style, as the two looked at Eli. They knew that he was on fire for this battle... "Juan, throw me!" She said to him as he gave her a look of question why she said that. "We can possibly switch in this fight... Ready?"

The Rebel only smirked at her with a nod. With a great throw from her ally, Annelotte clashed her blade with the other knight as the two did amazing combat that kept Annelotte in the air! Every strike counts as something in a fight. However, Eli saw some of the movements as he read her movements with a quick eye. "SWITCH!" Juan's voice came from behind the Princess Knight as she placed her foot on his blade to jump away from the other Knight.

The Rebel came at Eli in full speed as he held his sword in his right hand with his handgun in his left! Pulling the trigger 5 times caused Eli to block them quickly using the flat side, but that's what made Juan smirk. Juan got close to the Knight as he did a spin in the air then kick the flat side of the sword hard into Eli's nose!

He was off balance with a clear shot of what to do now! He went in for the kill with a swing of his sword to end the match. Eli, saw a light flash before his eyes... That's when he transformed. It was the same form he used when he and the King of Gainos fought for the first time at the Kreutz Castle. Juan's eyes looked into Eli's demon eyes, having the Nephilem smirk, but Eli wasn't... He grabbed the Nephilem Sword with his hands as he tossed Juan aside!

Next thing he heard was the sound of a horse galloping near him, for he saw Annelotte riding on Ambrosius and carrying her signature lance! Her eyes shined a red light, using as much of her power as she needed! The lance was surrounded by a blue aura that made her dangerous to be around! However, Eli started getting a splitting head ache... He saw vague images in his minds... Two girls, one with white hair and the other with lavender... But there was a woman... Beautiful with long black hair... The knight tried to ignore it then was caught in the attack! He was sent flying into the sky with Juan jumping into the air to catch him, but Eli regained his balance and pushed himself in the air and bashed skulls with the Rebel!

Sparks could be seen with Eli grabbing his neck and slamming him down into the ground! Dust and dirt was formed into a cloud that had Annelotte not knowing what was going on... It wasn't until she saw Eli's body being pushed out of the cloud and landed somewhere else, but it sounded like he got punched... The cloud of dirt disappeared as what showed in the middle was Juan's new demon form. Eli witnessed the sight as he looked to see him wielding the Demon Sword. The sword that Delmore wielded, and Former Queen Aldra too...

"This concert..." Under the cloak collar that covered his face, he smirked under it. "Is just getting started!" The Rebel swung wildly fast at the Knight who kept his guard up until his final breath. Annelotte stood by Juan's side, with Eli just getting more upset.

"Why?! TELL ME WHY!" Eli shouted at the confused Rebels. "Why are you siding with the enemy!? Aren't you the King of Gainos!?"

"Yes... I am a King..."

"Then why are you doing this?!"

"A King isn't someone who sits on a throne and watches people... A King is someone who does great things for his people, and keeps them safe with his own two hands!"

"What?!"

"And as King, I'll continue to do so! With God, the Angels, my mother and father watching over me... And everybody by my side..." He couldn't help but smirk at him. "I'LL DO THAT! BECAUSE I'M NOT GONNA LET HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF!"

"NO MATTER WHAT, WE'LL KEEP THESE PEOPLE SAFE!" Annelotte declared as she pointed her lance at the other knight. "And we'll see to it! No matter what you say! No matter how hard you try to stop us!" Her aura rose up to incredible levels! Even Juan felt a chill in his spine! "We'll march forth! To finally give the people TRUE freedom!"

"Enough talk!" Eli shouted at them and was ready to attack again! "I'M TAKING YOU IN!"

"TRY US!" Annelotte charged with her lance and Ambrosis! Juan charged in with her at the same time, as Eli started showing immense power! Juan saw... A shadow! That shadow took the shape of a demon roaring to the skies! That's when he knew this was gonna be a challenge now. The two clashed together at the young knight, with a mighty explosion happening!

Luna Luna witnessed this as she knew that was Juan and Annelotte, but felt that it was something she shouldn't interfere with... But she saw something, a small light that came from the sky... One thing she noticed though, this light had a pair of wings, but one looked to be made of metal... "What's that?" She asked herself. "Juan... I'M COMING HONEY!" She continued to run.

The battle continued to grow, as Eli slashed down at Juan with Annelotte coming in to save him! But then, at that moment all of them heard the sound of something in the air. Their eyes looked up to see a beautiful woman with blonde hair, but this woman wasn't an ordinary woman. She was angel! But, the weirdest thing was, she had a metallic looking wing. One thing out of the ordinary was the massive rifle she wielded in her hands!

"THIS FIGHT SHALL SEIZE!" The angel announced as she fired the rifle, shooting what seems to be... Holy Milk! Juan grabbed Annelotte and kicked Eli out of the way! In a quick moment, he jumped out of the way, slighty having some holy milk on the back of his talon-like foot. The Rebel felt the pain in his demon form, feeling it was necessary to transform back. "By the orders of Heaven, I shall... purify you?"

The angel aimed the rifle at the Rebel being aided by the Princess Knight. But, she could've sworn she saw a demon two seconds ago... But didn't lower her weapon yet."Juan, are you okay?!"

"Yeah... But that hurts..." He said rubbing the back of his boot. However, the angel lowered her rifle to be surprised in all of life at what she just heard...

"Juan?" The angel lowered her weapon... To think... That she of all people would meet him.

"Dammit!" Everyone looked at Eli as he got up, but injured. They could see some Holy Milk on him, having him revert back to normal. "You... Angel... Lend me a hand will ya?" He asked her, but the Knight fell unconscious... Juan saw this as he knew what he had to do. Even in pain, he had to stay strong. The Nephilem walked over to the half-demon Knight, seeing him exhausted and weak.

"Had me on the ropes, Kid." Juan said picking up Eli, having his arm over his shoulder. He dragged the unconscious Eli as he placed his body aside of the rode. He took his sword and stabbed the ground gently near the Knight. "Hey, Miss Angel." He called the blonde. "You have Holy Milk in that rifle, right? Can you pour into my canteen real fast? It's empty..."

"O-of course. Why though?" She asked.

"Well, I need to be at my full best to help him." He answered her, but this caused Annelotte to be in shock though!

"W-why help him?! He's the enemy!" She said to the Rebel.

"Just because he's the enemy doesn't mean he's a person, right?" He asked as Annelotte was questioned by this. "I hunt Demons... I don't like to harm innocent people..." Everything about him seemed VERY foreign to the Princess Knight. Yes she knew him for a well amount of time, but she still can't figure out how he thinks.

The Angel filled the canteen with her Holy Milk, giving it back to Juan. "Here you go."

"Thank you, but can you hold on to something else?" She was confused. That's when he started to take off his coat and shirt, revealing his bare torso to them... They witnessed the sweat coming down, and how well built he was... This cause them to blush. "Sorry, but after that fight, I needed to cool down." He said oblivious to what they're seeing. That's when he started to drink the canteen filled with the milk, but this... Caused them to blush a deeper red.

Some of the milk escaped his mouth as some were dropped onto his chest... "O-oh my!" Annelotte said wanting to look away, but couldn't...

Once they saw him done, some of the milk droplets fell either onto his neck, chest or his cheek. "Milk does the body good, you know?" He said smiling at them. But he saw the both of them having nosebleeds! "H-hey! You okay?" He asked as they nodded with no hesitation. "Alright... Well, gotta help the guy."

Juan faced the unconscious young man, as he closed his eyes to focus. That's when a green aura like appeared around his hands, turning into a bright emerald orbs. Eli started being covered in a green light by the Rebel, for they saw the bruises and cuts disappear from his body... The light faded with Juan taking his shirt and coat back. "Will he be alright?" The blonde angel asked him.

"He'll be fine. Trust me, but now's the time to bail." They nodded for the angel flew away yet she accompanied the two as they were running away. Behind them, Eli almost had his consciousness, yet it was still too blurry. He couldn't see straight, nor move his body.

"Honey?! Are you here?!" He heard the voice of a woman, see a beautiful one right in front of him. One thing about her was how revealing the outfit was... It seemed she examined the surroundings first then continued on running on the path. He didn't know what happened, as he felt a nap was the best thing now... The knight rested.

Thankfully, Juan and Annelotte were able to escape the area, but still had the Angel with them. "This should be good enough." Annelotte said taking a breather. "By the way..." She faced the angel. "Who are you?" She asked her.

"Oh! I completely forgot!" The angel bowed in respect the both of them. "My name, is Laila! I'm a Half-Angel!" This shocked the both of them, seeing this new friend they have made.

"Juan... She's..."

"A Nephilem... Like me..." He knew it.

"B-but this does not make any sense!" Annelotte shouted, causing the Rebel and the half angel to be confused. "She has her wing exposed! But you don't!"

"Yeah... That's puzzling me on why that is..." Both were wanting to know why, but mostly Juan himself. "I don't remember being born with a wing..."

"W-well... We're gonna have to figure out that later." This was a question of the ages for Juan. "Anyway, shall we proceed?"

"Seems like the best choice of option." He said to her with a smile, before turning to the Angel again. "Thanks for the milk by the way. I really appreciate it."

"You're welcome! Anything for a fellow Nephilem!" That was then the half-angel flew away from the two so they could continue on their path. Yet they felt like they'll see her again in the near future of their journey...

Juan's House...

Naomi was doing her basic training as always, with every punch came fire thanks to the Ignis Gauntlets. As soon as she was done, she started kicking the air many times at amazing speed, thanks to wearing the Tormenta Greave-boots. Everyday, she always trained to keep her body in shape. The wife of Juan was done for the day, as she placed a towel on her shoulder while taking a drink. "In perfect health as always, I see?" Naomi looked to see a familiar face, and another wife of her husband.

"Cleaning the front, Irma?" She asked her as she nodded. Irma changed over the years. She had gained an X mark scar on her right cheek from all the training to improve her skills. Her hair now passed her shoulders from the years that has gone by. She was wearing a new outfit that was made for an assassin. She wore an opened small vest that barely covered her breast yet she also wore a velvet bikini top to cover them incase if her bare breast pop out. Her left arm was covered by a black sleeve, with the other uncovered and exposed. Her hands were covered with fingerless gloves.

Her lower body was covered with a small black skirt having a red sash tied to her waist with leather on it to have small knives tucked away. Her legs were covered with knee passing socks and a leather thigh pouch on her right to place items in. On both sides of her waist were her signature weapons. The dagger sheathed on the right side, the sword sheathed on the left side of her waist. Her feet were covered with a pair of black strappy high heel boots.

"Yes, and I just finished." She answered placing the broom down as it leaned on the wall of the house. "How is your training?"

"It's great! Being a mom and a fighter is a challenge that I don't intend to lose!" She said full of postive energy.

"Yes, I know what you mean." She said looking at her in full eye contact. "When Clara was born, I knew that I would need to do to take care of her..." When the two were having a conversation, until Irma heard the sound of an infant crying! "Oh? Feeding time?" Irma jumped on the roof, opening a window and entering. She saw a child with dark skin like hers, having the same hair like her mother aswell. "Did you miss me, my daughter?" Irma carefully picked the child up as she embraced the infant with all the love in her heart. It started to calm down slowly, as Irma started removing the left side of her bikini to reveal her breast. "Drink from here. It's near my heart." She kissed the child on her head first then feeding it.

She felt the bonding between her and the infant, as she began singing a melody for it. Irma had become a wonderful mother...

"HOLY POSE!" That sound came from another room, being it Melpha. She was still training her Holy Poses, being in a room with a cross that looked like the one back at the church. The room looked like a small meditating room for any kind of meditation, especially for the Holy Poses. "I can feel the energy... It's pouring through my body." She felt the light of God shine apon her. Melpha slightly changed. Her hair was now at the length of her back, wearing something completely new.

The white tight bodysuit she once wore was gone, replacing it with now with just white lace panties, and nothing on top. To cover the top was a different blue dress, but the back was open. The front of the dress was revealing, but her nipples were covered, so no problem. On the lower part of the dress had an open side so it was comfortable to walk in, but it seemed covered. Also to mention, it showed off her lovely legs at any given moment when she felt like it. This dress also showed how sexy her hips were too. Her feet were covered with lovely shoes to match. "Lord... Please bless this house, these people and the children with your light!" She continued to pray, until she stopped. A knock was heard at the door for it to show it was a child.

"Mama Melpha, are you okay?" The child showed to be a... Lala! Wearing a red long sleeve shirt, wearing a pink skirt.

"Oh! Lala!" Melpha opened her arms to the child as the pink haired half slime ran into the Archbishop's arms as Melpha hugged the child. "How's everyone?"

"Well, Mama Nyx is resting with Sonata, Mama Naomi is training, and I think Mother Irma is feeding Clara."

"Thank you." She ended the hug, but saw the child showing tears... She knew what this meant. "Melona will be back.. And everyone else too..."

"What about Mama Shizuka?" She asked her.

"Shizuka needed to help Tomoe with many thing in their home country, but I promise one day we'll all be one BIG happy family again..."

"Promise?" She extended her pinky, with Melpha wrapping her pinky around the child's.

"Cross my heart." Melpha hugged the child, until they heard some sounds of a child.

"M-mommy..." Melpha's eyes widen to hear those words, as she let go of Lala for a quick second. She held her hand as they went to a pair of baskets near the wall of the room, where the cross hung above. There, rested two children, but one was older than the other.

"Molly... Did you just say?" Melpha looked at the older child, as she smiled at the woman. Melpha could not help but smile at this. "Her first word... Reminds me of you, Lala..."

"Really?!" Lala smiled. Her smile was faced the little girl named Molly. "Hi, Molly! I'm your big sister! Lala!" Molly was a 2 year old child. Her hair was a dirty blonde hair with her mothers blue eyes. And then, they heard the sound of an infant making happy sounds. Lala and Melpha saw the son of Melpha and Juan; Sayo. "Hello, Sayo~!" Lala said kissing her baby brothers forehead.

"Sayo, can you hear me?" Melpha asked her son, only hearing happy sounds from him. She took it as a yes. "It's me your mother. And right now, by your side is your sister." She whispered to him. "I want you both to love each other very much, and by each others side. And remember to help your other brothers and sisters too, like Lala here." She smiled. "Let's put them to bed." Melpha picked up both of her children as she was able to enter the room where they could sleep, but she saw Irma feeding Clara while singing a melody.

Irma spotted the blonde haired woman. "Oh, hello Melpha." She said with a smile. "Lovely as ever."

"And you're beautiful as well, Irma." Melpha placed the children in their respective cribs, smiling at them as they slept. "Juan will come. I can feel it." She said to the assassin that she was technically married to.

"Same..." She nodded as she stopped feeding her child, Clara. "Shall we let them rest?" Irma asked the blonde beauty. The two exited the room as they held hands together, with Lala holding Melpha's other hand. The came down stairs to see someone sleeping on the couch. "Nyx must've pushed herself too far, again."

"So it seems." They looked at the housewife. Nyx changed, like everyone else. Her hair was the same length, but she tied it in a ponytail. Her outfit was now a purple long sleeved shirt that exposed her cleavage. Her left ear was pierced with a beautiful gemstone dangling. On the stone looked like a flame inside it. Her lower half was covered with a black skirt, and her feet weren't covered at all. Sleeping with the wife was, Risa, Maria, and Sonata. However, Sasha was no where in sight.

"Want an apple, mommy?" They heard her voice from the kitchen.

"That would be nice!" The two looked to see Naomi spending time with her daughter, smiling, laughing and having nice memories. The two other woman only smiled as they looked each other, sharing a giggle. It was then, Irma and Melpha shared a quick kiss. This was one big happy family...

Heaven

Heaven was like always, well except a certain angel. "Alright, that's the last report for the week!" A spunky and cheerful blue haired angel said. After all this work, she was finally able to stretch out her arms. "Man! It's great the Head Angel gave me a hand with this! Otherwise, I'd be dead." It was then the angel started hearing the sounds of an infant. She couldn't help but smile as she looked to see that of crib by her desk. "And that gives me time to spend time with you!" She smiled at what inside the crib, was a baby angel. However this angel was different, for this was the offspring of Juan and Nanael.

The infant made sounds of happiness to it's mother, as she smiled at it. "Catalina, please grow up big and strong." She said to her child.

"Lady Nanael!" The angel however got distracted by someone saying her name. Out of the clouds showed Laila, having a smile on her face. "I'm back!" She said cheerfully. "Lady Nanael, I met someone who I thought I'd never meet in a thousand years!"

"Oh? Who did you meet?" The angel asked the blonde haired half breed.

"I met your husband! I met the Renegade Swordsman!" That's when Nanael's eyes widen, feeling surprised by this sudden outburst. Nanael only smiled at her attendant.

"I see. How is he?" She asked her. "Is he healthy?" She asked her, breaking eye contact.

"He looked healthy as a horse." The blonde told the blue haired angel. However, Laila looked at the angel dressed in red, hearing sounds of sobbing quietly, seeing her shake. That's when Nanael hugged Laila tightly, as their body (and boobs) pressed together, with the blue haired angel shaking. "L-Lady Nanael?"

"I'm fine..." She said with a sniff. "Just... Give me a moment." Laila could sense the sadness, feeling some tears drop on her shoulder. Her hands rubbed Nanael's back so she had more comfort from the blonde. "Thank you... Laila." Nanael said as they stopped hugging. "It's just... When I heard that you met Juan, I got sad that I wasn't able to with all this work."

"Why don't we go see him now?" She suggested. "I sure he'll be happy to see you."

"You're right... We should go." Nanael dried up her tears, with Laila helping her wipe them. "Laila, someday you'll be a great wife and mother someday."

"Like you?" She asked.

"Yes..." She nodded. "And who knows what fate has in-store for us..."

"I agree." The blonde and the angel smiled at each other, until a cry was coming from the crib. Nanael looked down to see her child as she held her in her arms.

"It's okay, Mommy's here." Nanael whispered to the infant. "I promise, we'll Daddy soon."

"Why not now?" The two heard a very familiar voice. They looked at the same direction where there stood herself, the Head Angel. "Do not bow, Nanael, Laila." She said to them. "Nanael, I've seen much hardwork coming from you."

"Yes, every last text is complete until the next week." She said to the 6 winged beauty. Also her husband's aunt.

"Please, go and see Juan." She said to the blue haired angel. Nanael slowly smiled at the Head Angel, having tears of happiness forming from her eyes.

"THANK YOU!" She lowered her head in thanks to the Head Angel. "Catalina, we're off!" Nanael held her child closely as she jumped off the cloud and flew slowly to the surface. She remembered the first time she had ever flew down, even though it wasn't a pleasant one. But her one mind was on one thing. "Juan! I'm coming darling!" She shouted with a happy noise from her daughter. Nanael kissed her daughters forehead, being so happy of this moment...

Eleven Forest

Alleyne was focusing on everything, training really hard with Seto. Seto used a wooden stick for his size, training in basic combat with his mother. He was able to get some moves down, having his mother and father's genes. Alleyne smiled at the hard work he did, but she sighed as Seto accidentally hit himself on the head. "Ow..."

"Let me take a look at it, Seto." Alleyne got on one knee as she looked at the bruise on Seto's head. She began to blow on it gently, then using Eleven Medicine. "Better?"

"Yes! Thank you, Mother!" Seto bowed to his mother in respect. Alleyne could not help but smile at this, seeing her own son train with her felt like great bonding time. "Is this the way?"

"Yes, but you're putting to much strength into it." Alleyne said as she showed her son how to properly how to use the staff. Seto witnessed how amazing his mother was, as she stopped showing him. "You need to let the body and your spirit flow together."

"Alright... ONE MORE TRY!" Alleyne looked at her son, giggling at how determined he is. The two went back to training, preparing for anything...

Hinomoto

Peace has returned to the beautiful land of Hinomoto, where the Empress of the land controlled without the dreaded council at her back. Yes, everything was peaceful so people could laugh, love and talk. Children could sleep, play and eat. Everything was at peace. "Akane! C'mon! This way!" A young girl with black hair shouted at another.

"Wait for me, Chiharu!" Another one with black haired said to her. The both of them were twins. The one named Chiharu wore a blue yukata with a warrior priestess headband, while the one named Akane wore a red yukata with the same headband. One thing about them was this, their eyes. Chiharu had two different colored eyes, one violet on the left, the right was the same as her fathers; Green. Akane was the one with the normal set of violet eyes. "Jeez! Why are you so troublesome?!"

"It's more fun to get in trouble!" The two twins played at the Shrine of the Warrior Priestess. They made it to the entrance with no one there. "I don't see her... Or him for that matter."

"Do you really think we lost them?" Akane asked her twin.

"Positive. Let's go." They two quietly tip-toed at the entrance, not even seeing a Warrior Priestess. "Carefully..."

"THERE YOU ARE!" They heard the voice of a female woman, coming from the sky. There they saw the shadow of someone, but were then caught by someone. "Haha! We win!"

"Momma Shizuka! Your boobies are real big!" Chiharu said, almost dying from them. Her face was blue.

"P-please! I can't breathe!" Akane was also dying, having her face blue. Shizuka let go of them, for they hit the floor. Next thing was a hammer hit them gently on their heads, seeing a boy standing there with a toy hammer.

"We win." He said to them, having a smile. This boy had short silver hair, the color like his mother's hair. He looked to be about the age of 4, with the twins the same age. His eyes however had the same color like his fathers, green. One thing is that the boy's face looked like a young Shizuka. He wore a black gi with tabi shoes, the usual training uniform.

Speaking of Shizuka, she had changed since the past 4 years. Her hair became longer after years. It was at the length of her waist, as the long strand of hair she had was the same as it still reached to her breast. Her clothing was different as well. She wore a fishnet shirt that covered only her chest and arms. Over that was a black sleeveless open shirt that revealed her much of her cleavage. Under that was her usual purple and black edged tunic. The red obi bow was now tied at the back this time. On the lower half of the tunic, covering her legs were black sexy stockings. Her feet were covered with dark purple socks and tabi shoes. On her head was the Warrior Priestess headband, were it was like the others. Her arms had leather armguards with a simple shoulder pad on her left. Her left hand also had a ring on her ring finger.

"Aww! NO FAIR!" Chiharu said, throwing a pout.

"Nice game, Hikaru. Mother Shizuka." Akane said, being a good sport.

"Girls, are you out there?" The twins heard their mother's voice, seeing the door open. What was revealed was a beautiful black haired woman wearing the usual robes of the Warrior Priestess, but wears an extra robe. She held her gentle smile as ever, but her eyes were different. They were white, due to her Blindness Curse the Swamp Witch placed on her.

"Hi Momma!" Chiharu said to her mother, running up to her and hugging her. "You're as pretty as ever!" Tomoe ducked down to embrace her child.

"Thank you, Akane."

"EH?! Momma! I'm Chiharu!" Chiharu pouted again, looking at her mother as she gave a nervous chuckle.

"S-sorry. I'm blind, so it's hard to see."

"That's okay, I forgive you!" Chiharu said kissing Tomoe's cheek.

"C-Chiharu! That's a little bold, don't you think?!" Akane stated to her younger twin.

"Oh c'mon, it's just a sign of affection I have for my Momma!" Chiharu said to the older twin. Shizuka and Tomoe could not help but laugh at the two.

"That's right. I keep forgetting who acts like who." Tomoe said.

"One acts like the water of a pond, calm and natural like you, Lady Tomoe." Shizuka said looking at Akane who was confused. "While the other acts like an energetic wild fire inside of them." Her eyes looked at Chiharu who smirked at the white haired Kunoichi. "But mine, well..." Shizuka hugged her little Hikaru. "Mine acts like both of us!"

"M-Mom! Your boobies are suffocating me!" Hikaru said, with Shizuka easing her grip.

"Whoops. Sorry, kiddo." Shizuka only kissed her child's cheek, having him smile. Everyone looked to be very happy at this.

"Lady Tomoe! Lady Shizuka!" The two heard the sounds of one of the Warrior Priestesses. "Urgent news!"

"Well, don't keep a secret. Tell us!" Shizuka said to her.

"It's Izumi! It's seems she has disappeared!"

"Oh no... That girl is so troublesome!" Tomoe said as she seemed a little angry. "Do you have any information on where she went?"

"We have witnesses saying she went to the Continent!" Both of their eyes widen as they smiled now.

"I see... Prepare a ship." Tomoe ordered.

"B-but Lady Tomoe, what will happen to you?"

"Just get the ship ready! We'll be fine!" Shizuka said to her as she was in fear. The girl nodded and ran to the nearest port. Shizuka and Tomoe only smiled at this, knowing what would happen now. "The Continent... Boy, it sure has been a while."

"Yes... Do you think Juan is doing fine? Along with everybody else?"

"You mean, Father?" Akane asked her mother, as she nodded.

"Hey, Momma?" Hikaru got the Kunoichi's attention. "Can we go too?" He asked her. Shizuka knew how stubborn her own son could be as she nodded. "We'll be able to see Dad, right?!"

"Hey, of course! I'm sure your Dad would love to see us again!" Shizuka said to Hikaru. "But you guys need to get ready, okay?"

"Yes!" Akane was full of spirit now. Shizuka placed her son down as he went with his sisters inside the shrine to get dressed. The two woman stood at their spots as they smiled at each other.

"Lady Tomoe... Are you ready?"

"Yes... For I feel that we'll have another adventure again." Tomoe said to the Kunoichi. Shizuka walked to where Tomoe was, being closed to the beauty. That's when Shizuka did it, she kissed her on the lips with Tomoe full of surprised. "S-Shizuka! That's shameless!"

"Oh c'mon! We're married, right?" Shizuka gave a wink, even though Tomoe could not see it, she could feel it. "Now, let's get ready. The Kunoichi lightly slapped Tomoe's rear as she jumped from the sudden moment. She blushed brightly, knowing what just happened. Tomoe placed her mind back together as she needed to prepare.

Shizuka packed what was nessacary for the journey, making sure to pack extra throwing stars and kunais. "Now lets see..." She opened a closet, seeing many outfits. "No... No... Too flashy... That's my wedding dress..." She checked all of them. She saw a leather one, but felt it would squeeze her chest. "Screw it, I'm sexy enough of what I have on already." The kunoichi was confident. "And good of my weapons..." Shizuka looked at her hand as it transformed into a blade! "I still got it!" She cheered.

Tomoe packed many of the necessary things aswell. This time, she picked out her weapon. She held onto the great sword she obtained from her previous journey, but now Tomoe was able to find another hidden deep in the Shrine. She placed both of them on one side of her waist, being ready for a fight.

The twins however wore the exact same clothes as a priestess, but smaller to fit their size. Hikaru came out to see them wearing their robes, but he didn't change. He still had on his training gi and tabi shoes. It was time to go. Shizuka, Tomoe and the children sailed off with the rest of the Warrior Priestesses seeing the two leave. "Juan... I hope to see you again..." Tomoe whispered.

"We'll see him. I promise." Shizuka said to her. The kunoichi and Priestess looked out into the sky and ocean, hand in hand. "Still... That Izumi is such a troublemaker..."

"I wonder what she did now."

"She probably just ran away because they found out she was a farmer." Shizuka said chuckling.

Somewhere at the ocean near the Continent

"ACHOO!" A young girl with black hair tied in a ponytail sneezed. "Crap... I think I'm getting a cold..." The girl said as she rode on a boat. There, her eyes saw it. "THERE IT IS!" She saw it. The great land that she had heard from many. "Look out everybody! Izumi, the War God Fencing is here!" She raised up her sword as she felt like a lot of adventure would be here. "And who knows. Maybe I'll settle down with someone here too."

MEANWHILE!

Juan sneezed as Annelotte looked at him. "You okay?"

"I might be getting a cold..." He answered her.

The Desert

Many would assume that the desert is nothing but a wasteland of sand and death. However, that is not true. There in the desert was a kingdom. A kingdom that was ruled over by the Queen, as she and the people lived happily. "My Queen, your bath awaits." One of the many servants said to her.

"Finally, I need it..." The Queen said as she was bare naked. Her amazing body entered the lovely water of the outside baths. "Such relaxation..."

"Queen Menace, how's the young master?" One of her servants asked.

"You mean, Aaru?" The Queen asked. "He's sleeping at the moment. I recently fed him and had guards watch over him." Menace poured water on her beautiful body, with some of the servants servicing her. They're breast touched Menace's at times, while they would also rub on other parts of her body. "Do I make a good mother?"

"Yes! No doubt, My Queen!" One of her servants answered. "Why would you doubt yourself?"

"I'm just a little out of it, lately." Menace replied. "Maybe, because I haven't seen my King in so long."

"Surely he will return!"

"Yes! In due time!" Another servant agreed with the other. After the baths, Menace got changed as she needed to check what was happening in the kingdom. Her appearance of clothing changed over the years. She wears a tinier bikini top that was in a snake like design that only covered her nipples. Underneath her breast was an accessory wrapped around her body, with an emblem of a pyramid on it. Hanging from the emblem was a gold edged piece of cloth that had a blue and white diamond design. She still wears her famous blue striped panties. On her upper arm was a snake themed arm band. She still had the white cloth around her arms aswell. Her feet were covered with brown knee length leather strapped high heel boots.

"Setra." She called the name of her staff.

"Hey there Milady! You're looking lovely as ever!" He complemented his Queen.

"Thank you, Setra." She said getting her grip on the staff. "Now then, any news so far?"

"Well, not really. But everything is going great in town." Setra informed her. "And the fact of free trade so we get amazing things from other places!"

"That's great to hear!" Menace said. "I just hope everything becomes better for everyone." She said walking towards a balcony. "And the Amara kingdom becomes bigger, so that way we can alway make sure that we're at tip top shape!" Yes. Menace knew that she could reach her goal. "And, Juan can also stay with us too! It's gonna be amazing!"

"Where is that slouch anyway?" Setra asked.

"Setra! Don't call him that!" She snapped at him. "But, I don't know..." She looked out into the sky. "However, my heart is telling me he's near..." She only smiled... Menace could trust her heart without hesitation. The Queen sat at her throne, relaxing while Setra was chasing skirts of the servants again. "Juan... I know you're near... I can feel it..."

Gainos Castle Dungeon

Many were on the lookout of this dungeon. This dungeon holds a cell for a certain person, chained inside. "Do you think she's dead?" One guard asked another.

"No way... She can't die so easily..." The other responded to her. They kept on guard duty, until something hit their necks! "OUCH!" The guard took out whatever was in her neck to see a needle. "What is this?! Wait... Why am I so... Sleepy?" The guard passed out along with the other... Footsteps were heard for whoever made them pass out came from the shadows.

"Sleep tight." The woman's voice was familiar, seeing it was Agathe. "Now then..." The assassin grabbed the guard keys, smirking at the door. She opened to find the jail cells empty... It gave a creepy vibe to her... It wasn't until she finally reached it. There she saw who was in the cell, with many chains on her. "It's been a long time..."

"I was about to say 'nice to meet you', since I didn't recognise you at first." The woman said.

"I thought it was rumor... But it seems that it's true..." Agathe said as she opened the cell. "I'm just glad your safe, Risty..." She said her name. Risty changed since the years had gone by aswell. She wore a purple bikini top and bottoms, with a piece of brown cloth tied to her waist. On her was a red tattered cape, with black bracers on her upper arms and black gauntlets with golden protruded knuckles to pack more of a punch. Her feet has open-toed black shoes, with some bandages on her left ankle. She still had that tattoo on her right thigh. Her hair was now tied in a high ponytail with long bangs on the side of her head.

"Good to see you again too." Risty said to her.

"Someone also missed you." Agathe said as she giggled. Coming down her leg was a snake, that had Risty in fear! But then she remembered who it was again.

"N-Nice to see you too, Keltan." Risty said as the snake slithered on her body, with it's tongue contacting her cheek.

"See? He misses you so much!" Agathe said as she smiled. "But everyone else too..."

"How's Juan?"

"He seemed to be good. From what's been going around, they say he was traveling with a Rebellion Group."

"Well, that's just like our husbands style." She chuckled. "Anyway, you gonna unchain me now?"

"Yes, but you're gonna have to remain here still." Agathe said to her, as Risty was confused. "There are too many guards now, plus I have no idea what will happen when you escape."

"Same... I have a bad feeling about this place... It's not like it when Aldra was Queen..."

"Right... Delmore is gone for good... But I have this weird sense that there is a greater darkness here..." Agathe felt nervous. "I'll come see you at times..."

"Alright, I'm gonna train for a bit." Risty said as Agathe released the Benevolent Bandit. It was then that Agathe kissed Risty, with Risty giving in. "See you soon..."

"Back at ya." Agathe left Risty there, as she started training. "Hopefully we get this damn curse off me... I haven't eaten in so long." She gave a might swing to the air, knowing full well that something will happen in the future. "Leina... Now where did YOU go?" She asked.

Somewhere else...

"That was a nice nap..." A woman said as she stood up from the ground. Where she slept was inside a cave, where it was perfectly safe. "And it seems to be day... I must've slept longer than I thought." She giggled. However, the small giggle was interrupted by the wind, which was very powerful... Her body felt the breeze, but something about it wasn't a normal wind... The woman looked out to see nothing... But felt like the wind had a connection... "Juan?" She said the Rebel's name. The woman inside the cave reached out her left hand, seeing a wedding ring on her ring finger. "I knew you'd come back..." She smiled...

()

Juan and Annelotte kept walking on their path, knowing damn well they'll succeed. "Are you sure you're okay?" Annelotte asked him. "You've sneezed about 3 or 4 times now."

"I told, I'm fine." Juan said to her. "I can get rid of some cold in a day." Annelotte decided to trust him.

"JUAN!" The two were caught by surprised as they turned around to see no one. "UP HERE!" Both of them looked to see someone... It was an angel...

"Wait... NANAEL?!" He questioned as it was confirmed to be the blue haired angel he married. He gained a big smile to see her again, as Nanael flew down low enough to have her lips press against his! The two kissed for some time, with Annelotte watching happily. They separated as the Angel showed the infant in her arms. "Catalina..."

"She's got your eyes..."

"She's got your smile." Juan replied to her. Nanael looked at Annelotte, confused on who she is. "This is Annelotte. My-"

"Hold up!" Nanael stopped her husband's sentence. "Hold her for a second." She gave Catalina to Juan, who held her close. The angel inspected the lavender haired woman, while touching her too. She placed her hands on her hips, while even to go as far as groping her breast! Nanael smiled at her, giving a thumbs up. "I approve!" Juan could've sworn he heard the sounds of a game show bell ringing. "Juan, you can take her. I don't mind, and I think it's more fun with more."

"Wait... You mean...?" Juan looked at his wife as she nodded.

"Yep! You can bed, love, or marry her!" Nanael said as Annelotte started freaking out with a bright red blush on her face! "Welcome to the family!" Nanael said as she hugged Annelotte.

"W-wait! We're not like that!" Annelotte tried to convince Nanael, but it seemed she was failing badly... "Please! Hear me out!" This might take some time...

Back at the sight, Eli was still resting. He began to open his eyes to see the sight of the forest above, with some birds passing by. "Shit..." Eli cursed at this. "I messed up..." He tried to get up, but could barely do it. His vision started to blacken, having him fall again.

"Excuse me?" His ears got the voice of someone. A female. Eli wiped his eyes to see that of a woman... She was cute. "Do you need help?" She asked him, giving out a hand. Eli took it, as he got a good look at her in the process. The woman was quite cute, with amber eyes and long brown hair tied in a single high ponytail. Her chest looked to be that of a D-cup. She wore a white sleeveless shirt that exposed her belly with a orange hood attached to the shirt. On the center of the shirt was a metal ring that showed some of her cleavage. On her arms she wore orange armguards and orange leg guards with boots. On her waist was an orange miniskirt with a leather belt that had pouches attached on the back. "You look terrible."

"I'm fine, thank you." He said to the beauty. He noticed something though, the weapon she carried looked like a staff... And her ears... Her ears were pointy. She was an elf... "Um, who are you?" Eli asked her.

"Me?" She asked him for he nodded. "I'm Nowa! And this...!" Out of the hood appeared a monkey, as it looked at the knight with eye contact. "Is my good friend Ruu!" The monkey lifted it's arm, giving a sign of "Hello" to the knight.

"I'm Eli. Eli Hunter." He introduced himself. It was then, Eli knew that something was about to change...

END

Hi guys! Hope you enjoyed the chapter, and the redesigns of some of the characters! Not gonna lie, it kinda gave me a tough time of describing them. But it was fun, and I actually tried my best with the word editing and stuff. However I felt like I still fucked up... So my apologize. And I'm actually hoping I got you guys in such high spirits since Nowa has returned, because I was sad when she didn't return in Rebellion.

Nowa was actually one of my favorite characters too. I think the main reason was because she was always curious... And how she always went commando! YEAH! That's like the 2nd reason.

ALSO! GUYS! I saw Godzilla 2014! IT WAS THE HYPEST! I'm not gonna do spoiler because it's just epic! Sadly, I thought Rodan would be in it, but Rodan ain't. It's a whole new different monster this time, but THAT'S STILL AWESOME!

Well, I guess you'll have to wait for the new chapter, BUT! I'm gonna get right on it! And since summer vacation is coming, more time for me to kill! Isn't that great? Maybe I'll take a break here and there, but still, I'm excited!

Wanna know what's funny? When I said the Q&A would stop, more question came in... Ain't that irony? So I'm just gonna answer 3, okay?

Q: Love this chapter, but why put lemons in the story now? (This question is from the previous one)
A: Here's the thing, it wasn't lemons, it was erotica. What I'm basically saying it's just got sexual at the start, but it didn't go full penetration fucking. So, it's pretty much teasing... Sorry.

Q: What was with that Naomi thing you did at the end?
A: Those my friend were lines and quotes for Naomi in the Queen's Blade and Dissidia: Final Fantasy crossover I plan on doing. I put it there so people could see, and possibly give me suggestion for more or improve them. Juan's line are on chapter 16 at the bottom. Enjoy.

Q: Wait, Naomi has powers?!
A: Not powers given by birth, but powers in her weapons. Remember the Ignis Gauntlets? The ones Juan got in the first story? They are fire gauntlets, but at the end when they face Delmore, Juan give the gauntlets to her, and the Tormenta Greave boots Juan got when fighting a speed demon Delmore summoned to kill him. Go to chapter 12 of this story. The list of weapons is there... I think.

Well, guess I have to show you the line I prepared for Delmore. The Swamp Witch will be next. Hope you enjoy!
