Kiro: I wouldn't be writing if it wasn't for spider, I want you guys to know that q.q

Rena: Hey I noticed you guys haven't used Ara haan.

Aisha: Are you both against Ara?

Spider: This story is based on the ice burner 'Arch devils' and I didn't see Ara set yet but I have now and she will be added later on.

Kiro: Yea not like I'm against using her or anything…

Chapter 4

"This pendant was made from the Arch angles the ones who tried to stop the demons long ago it's made to greatly weaken them so they will be easy to fight." Elesis went on to explain.

"Are you sure?" Aisha questioned examining the object closer.

"The demons have no knowledge of this so we have an advantage."

"What's the catch?" Raven asked.

"As long as we can use it before the gate opens we won't have to fight off the invasion." Elesis added.

The pendants look more like magic necklaces. Each string was a rusty brown color; most likely it's made of copper. The gem at the center of the string is oval shape and a light sea blue color. Raven took out a knife and cut everyone's hand, even his own. The gang looked shocked at Eve's blood which was just Nasod fluid. They each took a pendant and dripped their blood into the gem. Afterwards the team cleaned their cuts which stung. A messenger ran up, bowed, and then handed Elesis a letter. Elsword threw a tantrum since the same message boy he met before was so sweet to his sister but not him.

"A group of powerful demons have gathered in center of Velder." Elesis read aloud.

The team rush back to Black Crow airship. Meanwhile the Arch Devils all sat in a circle with wind fragments. The fragments looked like broken pieces of crystals yet had air swirling inside them. After calming their selves they began the resurrection.

"King Slash King of darkness awaken to open the door, make all light perish and kill all joy in your wicked name. During your glory open the Gates of Darkness!" The Arch devils repeated.

The team had finally arrived in Velder. They rushed to the center of Velder trying to be as stealthy as possible. From about a block away to the Arch Devils they could hear them chanting the chant. When the team finally got to the Arch Devils it was too late. A mostly red vortex appeared in the center of their circle. The force of wind was so great it blew the heroes back. A person emerged from the vortex and as he did the Arch devils bowed all the way to the ground.

"You have all done well my fellow Arch Devils." The person said as he went over to pet the dark Eve named Anti.

She enjoyed his touch which brought grins to both of their faces. He then stop and summoned his sword. After he received it he tossed it in the air which made a mini vortex. The old gate behind them opened at first slowly and then fully. Demons of all kinds ran out and attacked everything in sight right away. The people of Velder began to panic at the sudden attack. The heroes helped the local law gather everyone into the underground shelter. After getting everyone to safety the team sat around in a circle to create a counter attack.

"Just like the demons said Slash is the key to opening the portal. All we have to do is take him down. So here is what we will do; it won't take all of us to defeat him me Elsword and Raven will go to the demon world and defeat him, the rest of you will take down the other copies in Velder and protect the city. Chung I've heard of your people its best that you lead the defending team. Oh and you might need this." Elesis proposed as she handed Chung his pendant.

Everyone nodded in agreement as they split up. Chung went into another room where the team was keeping their weapons and gear. Eve grabbed Elsword arm before he could leave the room.

"May I have a moment of your time?" Eve asked.

"Is something wrong?" Elsword asked as he stayed. He could tell something seemed different about her.

"Nothing is malfunctioning at the moment, thank you for your concern. I am however…" She bit her lip before lowering her head hoping to hide her blush. "…worried if you will return from that world."

"Eve! This is me your worried over you know I'll be just fine." Elsword chuckled.

"How can you be so sure when no one knows what will happen?" Eve raised her head to look him in the eyes blushing a cherry red now. "I don't want to lose you."

"Well just in case I don't make it back there is something I want you yo know." Elsword whispered to her as he stroked her cheek.

"Wha-"

He then leaned in and kissed her. Not some childish kiss either a kiss of passion. The same passion he had been longing to show the so called emotionless queen. She kissed him back after awakening from her shock. However after a few moments they broke away recalling they still have work to do.

"I'll be back." Elsword smiled as he left.

Elesis, Elsword, and Raven finally were ready to go and save the world. The three heroes marched off towards the portal into the unknown. Meanwhile Chung led Velder army and his fellow companions to defend Velder. Aisha, Chung, Rena, and Eve gave each other a slight nod as they saw the first wave of demons approaching. The cries from the demonic creatures send chills to your soul. Raven, Elsword, and Elesis finally reach close to the portal but a very large army of demons are protecting it. The infiltration team gives each other one last glance as they run off to slaughter those who stand in their way. In the first wail you hear metal clash against metal. The war has started.

Chung split his friends to lead different groups of the army. The demons as suspected were ruthless and fierce they attacked in well thought out patterns. After a while of endless waves Chung's group finally got a moment to rest. Chung decided to check on his comrades during his short break. Eve and Rena are doing well leading and holding off the new waves. When he finally reached Aisha however she had her back against the wall against enemies who resist her magic. Seeing his lover powerless and defenseless Chung went into a fury and blasted her foes into pieces. Aisha had sent her group away to fight off the small group since they proved too much for Velder army. However she didn't notice until after they left that her magic was useless against them.

"Are you okay?" Chung asked as he knelt down next to her.

"I think so."

Aisha tried to stand but she fell back down. Chung quickly picked her up bridal style as he carried her back to her group. On the way they talked and joked enjoying each other's time. As Chung placed her down to be healed he gave her a quick but sweet kiss. After watching her for a few moments he returned to his group. A young man ran up to Chung telling him a large demon is destroying everyone they send to stop it and they need his help. Chung goes to his comrades groups since he figures he will need everyone's support. Now they are one army again and they rush to the last known site of the giant attacker.

"He's really big." Aisha said as she looked up at him.

"No kidding." Rena mumbled.

A dark creature made of stone stood before them. Some sort of spiritual ooze spilled off the pile of rubble. A crystal with a gold lining surrounded the wind crystal inside its body where the heart should be. The creature was about 8 feet tall! Rena was the first to attack the beast she slid between it's legs and shot three arrows at it. The arrows didn't even pierce it's skin. It quickly turned half way and back slapped her into the wall. Chung jumped in the air and fired rapidly at it but that did no good either. Eve rushed up to the beast and did basic attacks with her loyal drones. After seeing her attacks were useless the thing kicked her away. Aisha and Chung charged the beast together but it proved nothing to the over sized creature. The comrades regrouped as rethought over what was stoping them from injuring it.

"it's laughing at us." Rena pouted.

"With it's stupid ugly crystal." Aisha groumbled.

Eve stared at the foe and shot an electron ball into the center of the crystal at the end of her glide. The creature cringed in pain at her attack as it tried to recover. The team then noticed how to take it down now and attacked in unison. In the end they turned it into rubble and smiled at their acomplishment. Rena sighed as her smile dropped into a frown. All the other members except Eve who had seen her get a little upset. As Rena heard her approach she put on a smile trying to cover up her true feelings. Eve gave her one look and they could tell they were feeling the same thing. The same pain and yearning for their lover who has gone some where to do something. For the first time ever they hugged each other.

Kiro: We need some more Rena and Raven..

Spider: Don't worry I know all you hidden Chung&Aisha lovers out there in the future you will be satisfied.

Aisha: So we will have our time?

Elsword: Of course not!
