Hot Spring Madness Part 9
[10 minutes earlier]
Vali P.O.V
"Azazel you have to take things much more seriously." I said trying to get my adopted father to act like a proper adult.
"I could but it would be less fun that way." He replied in a dismissive wave of his hand as we walked to a bar close to the hotel.
"And besides you have a long way to go before you can keep up with me when I get a little serious in a fight." Azazel added to our conversation regarding his manners.
"That has nothing to do with what we were talking about." I said trying to return to our previous conversation.
"You say that ,but even so you want to get stronger no matter what." He replied deflecting my previous statement.
"Even though your getting stronger, your not able to reach a new level ,like Charlie, to show your untapped potential in using your abilities." He said gaining my attention.
"What do you mean Azazel?" I questioned as he directed our conversation to a person I consider a friend yet at the same time a rival.
Hearing me he chuckled "Serafall gives me a report of Charlie's daily life so that I would be in the know of how he is doing since that incident three years ago." He said in a somber tone.
At the wording that was implied Azazel caught my interest "What happened three years ago?" I asked not knowing what had happened.
Staying silent Azazel looked at his left leg and moved it uncomfortably "What happened three years ago is the same reason I have a new artificial left leg." He replied slightly moving it as if feeling phantom pain.
Realizing what he implied I was taken a back "Charlie was the person that took your leg?" I asked in suprise.
Hearing my question Azazel laughed a somber laugh "Your right and wrong at the same time Vali." He said looking up from his leg to stare at me.
Looking at his gaze I saw a look that I thought I would never see him have. The look of a man that was close to death and the type of person that almost lost himself to insanity.
"The thing I faced was in shape Charlie ,but at the same time that thing wasn't Charlie." He said stopping in the middle of the pavement.
"That thing had the face of Charlie ,but everything they did was beyond anything I had ever seen in my entire life as both a angel and a fallen angel ,hell I'm not even sure if that was worse then the great war that broke out in the 1600s." He stated before walking up to me and patting my shoulder.
"If you fight the thing that he keeps inside himself you'll have to use your Judgment Drive to live." He whispered into my ear causing me to stare at him in shock.
Staring at him I felt a large weight on my shoulders as I felt Albion manifest on his own "What's wrong Albion?" I asked as I only ever felt him do this a handful of times.
"I felt a presence similar to my own inside the hotel building." Albion said as I felt my Balance Breaker manifest around me.
"Albion what are you doing?" Azazel questioned in a surprised tone but looking at him and his body language I saw that he was ready for a fight.
"Do not get in my way Azazel I want to investigate the feeling that I felt in the hotel." Albion spoke in a serious manner.
"I understand but if you do anything rash then we will have a serious problem on our hands." He said trying to reason with Albion.
"I understand your worries Azazel but this feeling is similar to my own and I wish to know why it is the same to my own and I will find out even if I have to force my way through you." Albion replied in a serious tone as Azazel got ready for the next move Albion would take.
Faster than I could see I saw a armored fist nail Azazel in the chest and saw him get blown away from the strike as Albion made his way to the hotel.
'Vali I do not wish to harm you and your adopter I am only doing so to understand this feeling coming from the building.' Albion communicated to me before I was blown into the hotel front door and into the receptionist desk.
"It would seem that your adopter still has some of the original strength he had from the great war." Albion spoke in a low neutral tone as he got up and threw the desk at Azazel.
As Azazel caught the desk Albion surged faster than I could ever hope to match and punched through the desk and nailed a right hook across his face as Azazel was sent into a bit away before he grabbed Albion's arm and tried twisting it before Albion elbowed his jaw. and was about to punch him when Charlie walked up to us.
"Azazel...Vali...could you have a intervention later." He said in a patronizing manner that got under my skin.
Taking control I back fisted him as he gave me a look that promised revenge before he went through the door next to where the receptionist desk used to be.
Turning to face Azazel I got punched in the midsection and was sent into a tank that had fish swimming in it.
Shaking my head I saw Azazel up and stretching his body.
(Crack)
"Huuu man that feels better." He said in a relaxed tone after he cracked his bones.
"Albion stand down I don't want to have to escalated the whole situation here." Azazel ordered before looking around.
"Man I'm going to have to pay for the damages aren't I." He said before looking at me and Albion.
Before I could reply Albion took control and sailed past Azazel.
A second later I heard Azazel yell out profanity that I would not like to repeat.
"Damn it Albion calm down you almost got rid of my most important tool I have on me!" Azazel yelled out as I heard a chuckle from my left.
I wasn't the only one as Albion and Azazel turned to the side and saw a Confused Serafall with a unsure laugh coming from her next to a girl with a blue visor and a blue and white dress.
"Girl in blue and white what is your name." Albion ordered as he walked towards them.
"Hey wait-" Azazel said before we were shut up the the words that the girl said.
"My name is Mélusine, I am a descendent of the white dragon Albion and inherited the spirit of the knight sir Lancelot." She said in a impassive tone looking at us mainly Albion and ,by extension, myself.
After what she said Albion shut down and the armor around me came apart as only my sacred gear was the only thing that was apparent on me.
""What?"" Azazel and I said out loud as we just stared at her.
But before we could do anything we felt a aura of bloodlust fill the room as she walked towards us.
"And I will be your executioner for harming my king." She spoke before disappearing from our view.
""What?"" We once more said before we were thrown through the air and landed into the walls of the hotel before crashing onto the floor.
"Mélusine please don't do anymore harm to the hotel." I heard a out of breath voice call out from my right and saw Charlie with his shirt ripped apart and a mark on his neck before passing out.
