Phase 29: The Disturbance

Gliding through the air, Auel glanced at the unconscious goddess he was carrying in his arms. He smiled, thinking how angelic she looked and how vulnerable she was. He was nearing his destination, so he slowed down his speed and started descending. He landed in front of an abandon warehouse near the pier. Holding Fllay tight, he made his way inside and placed her carefully on a sheet that was already spread on the floor.

Once again he glanced at her and caressed her cheek. "Fllay, you're still beautiful as ever," he whispered softly as he leaned down to kiss her temple. He pulled back and stroked her soft red hair gently. "I'm still in love with until now…"

"Indeed you are," a deep and calm voice spoke up.

Auel stood up with a serious expression. "I have captured the goddess of death for you, Gil," he said.

A dark blue light shone in the middle of room, which later formed into a shape. As Gilbert materialized, he walked over to Auel and congratulated him on a job well done. He knelt down beside Fllay and placed a hand over her head. He began chanting an incantation, making his hand glow in bluish color. "Let's see if we can tap into her mind," he said, concentrating even more.

Auel turned around for he couldn't bear to see his beloved Fllay get controlled by Gilbert. He knew how painful Gilbert's mind control spell was at first. He was pretty sure Fllay would do her best to prevent him from getting into her head, but that would be very difficult considering her present state. He wanted to stop Gilbert somehow, but he knew it must be done for the sake of Asgard and Midgard.

Since the mind controlling process would take a lot of time, Auel decided to go outside and freshen up a bit. He could use the salty sensation of the ocean breeze at this time.

As he gazed out into the ocean, he remembered the times he used to spend with Fllay back in Asgard. Those were some good memories until he got maniacally crazy over Fllay. He didn't know what came over him. He let his heart control his mind completely, causing him to hurt Fllay real bad. He couldn't forgive himself after what he did to her and neither could she. He sighed deeply and balled his hands into fists. He stared hard on the ground with gritted teeth, feeling angry with himself.

"I'm so sorry, Hel…" he whispered softly to the wind as he knelt down. He punched the hard concrete and lowered his head. "Until now… I'm still hurting you… But I have to follow Gilbert."

"Um… are you all right?" a voice coming from behind him asked him in a mild manner tone. Auel straightened up and turned around to see the red-haired Meyrin with pigtails. "And who might you be?" he asked in a cold voice. His eyes grew stern as he crossed his arms in front of his chest.

Meyrin stepped back and clamped her mouth in surprise. She couldn't believe her eyes—Auel, her official new crush, was standing right in front of her! She was hoping to meet with him someday and she just got her break. A smile formed in her face as she bowed her head politely. "I'm Meyrin… Meyrin Hawke."

Auel raised an eyebrow. "Meyrin, huh? Weird name…" he said it so bluntly. He turned around to once again face the ocean. "How come you're asking me if I'm all right? I mean… You don't even know me and I definitely don't know you."

"I was just passing by when I saw you on your knees. I thought you were in pain so I decided to approach you to aid you in any way. But I can see you're fine, Auel-san." Her smile grew wider.

Upon hearing his name, Auel immediately looked at her in surprise. "How did you know my name?"

"Uh... Eh…" Meyrin didn't know what to say. She couldn't possibly tell him that she eavesdropped on his conversation with Dullindal-sensei, because it would surely cause trouble for her. Her eyes darted all over the place as she tried to come up with a reasonable excuse.

Auel tapped his foot impatiently. "I need an explanation here."

"Well, I saw you talking to Dullindal-sensei the other day and I was also just passing by at that time. Also, I've heard that a lot of girls are interested in you at school, so they just kinda ask Dullindal-sensei for your name." She spoke very fast as she fiddled with her fingers. She felt so nervous and scared of what Auel might say to her.

But Auel simply replied, "Oh… okay…" He felt relief assuming that Meyrin didn't know anything about his true identity. "Since you already know my first name I might as well give you my full name. I'm Auel Neider." He raised his hand to shake with her.

She stared at his hand for awhile then looked straight into eyes before taking his hand. His firm grasp of her hand made her blush a little and turned her hand icy cold.

"Woah, your hands are cold!" He reluctantly took his hand away from her. "Are you sick or something?" He placed a hand on Meyrin's temple to feel her temperature. But his action only made her more nervous and cold, and Auel was beginning to worry.

Gosh, what to do? What to do? Auel is touching me for crying out loud. Do something, Mey. Um… Uh… Her mind went ballistic trying to think of a way to calm down. She looked at her watch and pretended that she was late for an appointment with her friends. She told Auel she needed to go, and Auel nodded. "It was really nice meeting you," she said, meekly. "Bye…" She went running off, her cheeks stained in red, and disappeared around a corner.

"Weird girl…" he muttered under his breath, turning back to the ocean once more. Well, he had to admit Meyrin was a cute girl with a pleasing personality. But he wouldn't dream of going out with a girl like her. Right now, he only had Fllay in his mind.

As Meyrin exited the pier, her heart wouldn't stop beating. She felt ridiculous for being a nervous wreck in front of Auel, her crush. But still she was happy for finally meeting him and being able to shake hands with him. It would be a memory she would cherish forever.

Norns' Mansion

"Jean, are the cookies ready yet?" Miriallia asked who was in the living room. She walked into the kitchen only to see Jean in the arms of Rey. The goddess's eyes grew wide as marbles as she shouted her sister's real name, "Verdandi!"

Rey cast a deadly stare at her, sending shivers to her spine. "Now that you're here, Urd, I'll capture you as well."

"Heimdall, you bastard! Release my sister immediately!" she uttered, her aqua-blue eyes enraged. She positioned herself to cast a spell. "Release her now or I'll kill you."

"Fighting me is futile. If you don't want to get hurt, I suggest you submit to me." Rey raised his arm, pointing it at her, as he gathered his aura at his palm.

Miriallia gathered her own aura and formed an energy sphere. She was going to throw it at Rey when he suddenly disappeared from her sight. "What the!" Before she knew it, he was already behind her. "Heimdall!" Without letting her move, Rey slapped his palm on her temple and smirked. He used a minor constriction spell, which causes a temporary shut down of your powers and consciousness, to finally capture the goddess of the past. As Miriallia slowly closed her eyes, she fell to the floor and blacked out.

The watchman of the gods picked her up and teleported out of the mansion to where Gilbert was.

Kira was walking towards the mansion when he felt the dark aura of Rey. Then he saw a flash of light bolting out of the mansion and into the sky. "It must be Rey," he said. He had a bad feeling about Rey's visit to the mansion. In addition to that, he couldn't feel any of the Norns' auras. Growing worried, he rushed into the mansion and looked for them. After 5 minutes of search, he sat down on a couch in the living room and sighed. Nobody was home. The mansion was completely deserted and he knew the reason why. "Heimdall, I'm sure he did something to them."

He had to inform Cagalli and the others about this. He was pretty sure Gilbert was planning something diabolical with the Norns. Standing up, he placed his right hand over his left and muttered a teleportation spell that allows him to transport directly in front of the person he desires. When the spell was done, his body glowed in bluish color as he slowly faded away like the dusts.

Shinn's House

Shinn was pacing back and forth in his own living room, trying to find out where Auel could've taken her. Following Cagalli's advice, he rested to gain back his strength so he'll be prepared to face Auel. "We have to find my daughter," he said, sounding mature.

"Don't worry, we'll find her." After telling him this a thousand times, Cagalli herself was starting to doubt her words. But she can't lose hope for her best friend.

Suddenly, Kira materialized in front of Cagalli, which scared the pants out of her. She scolded her brother for doing that and hit his arm lightly. "Hey, sorry… I didn't mean to." Kira laughed as he scratched the back of his head. But his laugh stopped when he noticed Shinn's serious expression. "Shinn, what's wrong?"

Instead of answering him Shinn just turned away and faced the wall.

"Don't give me that. Come on, Shinn, you can tell me," urged Kira. He was about to approach Shinn when Athrun stopped him by grabbing shoulder. He turned to Athrun and saw him shaking his head slowly. "Why?"

"A guy name Auel, also known as the god Tyr, came and fought Shinn and Stellar in a battle," Athrun started explaining, and Kira sat down beside Cagalli to listen. "After the battle, he abducted Fllay."

"Tyr is in this world and he just abducted Fllay? No, this is not good. From what I've heard before, Tyr had a bad reputation because of what he did." Kira clasped his hands together and placed his elbows on top of his lap.

"What bad reputation?" Cagalli asked.

Kira hesitated for a moment, knowing how traumatic the experience was for Fllay. He swallowed hard and bit his lip. "You see… Fllay was r-"

"Shut up! Don't say another word, Freyr!" Shinn blurted, clenching his fists.

"Shinn…" Cagalli said softly.

Stellar rose up from her seat and placed a hand on the god's shoulder. The blonde goddess looked sincerely at him, telling him it will be all right. "I'll try to locate Tyr and Hel for you. You just have to wait, Loki-sama," she said.

The trickster god calmed down a bit and sat down. "Okay…" He lowered his head. "I'm counting on you, Skuld," he told, and Stellar nodded.

Cagalli wrapped her arms around herself and shivered at the thought of Fllay's traumatic experience. Even though Kira didn't finish his sentence, she knew what he meant. "Kira, I hope nothing bad will happen to Fllay." She looked up at her brother, with eyes of concern.

Kira felt Cagalli's concern for he too was experiencing the same thing. Taking a quick look at Stellar, he suddenly remembered his visit to the mansion. "Wait a sec! Stellar, I have to tell you something important."

"What is it?" Stellar said, noticing the fearful expression on Kira's face.

"I don't know how to say this but I think you're sisters were abducted by Heimdall."

Stellar's eyes grew wide with horror. "My sisters? No…! This can't be. Where are they now?" Now she was the one panicking.

"When I went to mansion I saw a flash of light flying out. I quickly entered the mansion only to find out you're sisters are missing. In addition, I also felt Heimdall's aura at that time." Kira explained clearly and slowly.

"No… no… My sisters…" She placed her hands on her head and dropped on her knees. She shook her head vigorously.

"This," Cagalli muttered, "is not good." She knelt beside Stellar and pulled her to her arms. She let Stellar rest her head on her chest as she rubbed her back to comfort her. "First Fllay…and now the Norns…? What is that geezer up to?" She turned to her brother for the question, but she only received a pessimistic look from him.

"Damn you Gilbert!" Shinn punched the wall with both of his fists and leaned his head against it. If he ever found Gilbert, Heimdall, and Tyr, he bowed to kill them no matter what. He swore upon his life and his immortality.

Athrun felt so useless at the moment. Everyone was experiencing a gruesome state, which was getting complicated by the minute. He silently leaned back on the couch to think. Auel is one of Odin's minions, so it's possible that his mission is to abduct Fllay. And Heimdall was ordered to take Jean and Miriallia. Jean and Miriallia were his minions once… and… Oh no! Athrun was struck with one horrible idea, which might be one of Gilbert's objectives.

To be continued…
