The meeting part 2
Momon and Oda fight had begun so Nabe and guan decided to fight in the clouds. Nabe still in her [queen of lightning form] while her opponent guan yu hasn't done a single action.
"Shall I begin our duel?" Said Nabe
"Please do." Said guan
Nabe raises her staff shooting lightning in the shape of an arrow towards Guan. Guan lifts his arms and a red portal appears before him consuming the attack. A few moments later another portal appears behind Nabe returning her attack. The attack hits Nabe but it doesn't do any damage.
"In that form of yours any electric attack seems to negate itself. A good test of your power Lady Nabe."
"Seems like that portal attack will be useless against me since my own attacks won't cause me harm."
"Seems so but I haven't yet to attack."
Guan summons five portals before him and enters one. 10 portals appear around Nabe. Nabe patiently waits to figure out his attack. A few seconds pass and branches appear throughout the portals trying to grab Nabe but she increases her electric aura making the orbs to spin around her body setting the branches on fire.
"You have to try harder than that."
"I will."
Nabe fires few attacks into the portals but they just redirect and fire from another portal.
(Quite an annoying skill.)
"Sir Guan mind telling me what your art called."
"It's called [1000 realms]."
"Why is it called that?"
"You can figure it out."
A few minutes pass and a fire attack in shape of a dragon bursts out all 10 portals.
[electrical shield]
The orb floats above her head making an eggshell of pure electricity overpowering the attack. Nabe sent an attack into the portals but it didn't reappear.
(My attack didn't return so are these portals connected to another or are they gateways to something else. Need more information.)
"I would have imagined fire would have weakened you Lady Nabe."
"My attack produces more heat and is faster so your basic attacks such as those will not harm me."
"You're quite the Sage who was your teacher I must speak with him."
"My teacher has would have the attitude if she was here right now. She would have pull you out of these portals and beaten you near death."
"You must have had a rough training."
"Unimaginable training but when the Emperor arrives you'll be able to see her. She is probably on her way now."
"Please do introduce us when the time comes."
"I will but let's finish this bout first."
"Agreed."
Each of the 10 portals around her unleash a different attack, Nabe flies upward to avoid damage but the portals continue to track her and reappear in front of her. A large portal appears before Nabe stopping her in her tracks. A river of water emerges from the portal placing her in a bubble. Nabe turns off her [queen of lighting] to prevent serious damage. Guan appeared out of the portal and approached Nabe. Nabe was holding her breath while she was trapped.
"Lady Nabe a woman of your talent to be caught so easily your teacher will be very disappointed."
A vein appears on Nabe forehead and she begins to yell at him but she can't be heard since she was underwater. Guan removes the water around her head so she can speak.
"Hey, don't you dare insult her or I'll end you!"
"It seems like you care a lot about you teacher but I believe she choose the wrong student."
A loud crash is heard beneath them so guan looks down to see Oda flying into the castle wall. A moment that ends their battle.
[fireball]
Nabe shoots an attack into the water holding her which produced a lot of steam that covered the two of them.
"Did you miss lady Nabe shall I stand closer."
"No need I already won."
[Electrical fang]
Nabe teeth become dragon fangs of pure electricity and she bit down sending the electricity shocking them both. The attack doesn't do much damage but blinded guan. A moment of lapse concentration drops the water orb around Nabe body.
[queen of lightning]
Guan tries to flee into another portal but as he halfway in Nabe staff morphs grabbing his leg ensuring he can't run away.
[lightning gauntlet]
Electricity forms around her fingers like brass knuckles. She pulls Guan out of the portal, guan grits hit teeth for the upcoming attack. Nabe punch connects hitting him in the jaw with a right uppercut. The attack sends thousands of volts running through his body stunning him. Nabe unleashes a wide right hitting the stomach. Guan summons fire from his fingers trying to grab Nabes neck but Nabe overwhelming lightning negates the fire. Nabe grabs guans hand bending them down by her own strength. Guan gets on his knees before Nabe.
"You are skilled guan in terms of magic but my teacher also taught me how to fight without magic and that is why you lost!"
"Damn you!"
Nabe Looks upwards
[Dragon storm]
Dark clouds appear overhead turning the bright sky into a fearsome storm and lightning starts raining down hitting the two. Nabe is unaffected by the lighting but Guan screams in pain and passes out due to the pain. Nabe let go of Guan and he begins to fall. Guan falls onto the building crashing through the roof. Nabe floats down gently seeing Ren inspecting the crater.
"Hey, Ren who, is it?" Said Momon
"Its the other guy." Said Ren
Nabe floats down into the building.
"Hey boys, how did everything go?" Said Nabe
"Well Momon defeated Oda and I didn't get to do anything so im kinda annoyed at that and Momon can't move since he pushed himself to hard to win." Said Ren
Nabe runs over to Momon but trips and falls. She tries to stand up but she has exhausted herself as well. Ren takes a big breath in then out.
"Seriously you two, don't tell me you can't move." Said Ren
Momon and Nabe do a thumbs up in agreement. Ren walks over picking up Nabe and placing her on Silver.
"Can't you guys change back because Silver is no longer fluffy." Said Nabe
"Can't until the magic wears out and since I didn't get to fight seems like it'll be about a week." Said Ren
Nabe tries to hug Silver but it was like hugging a bed of nails. Ren walks over to Momon and picks him up over his shoulder.
"Momon how do you keep getting heavier?" Said Ren
"Strength training." Said Momon
Team darkness leave the building seeing Evileye with some adventures behind her.
"Report Team Darkness." Said Evileye
"We defeated their elites with no serious injuries and request healing for them." Said Ren
"Will do and good job Team Darkness but lady Lele wishes to speak wish Nabe, Lord Wen wants to see Ren and Momon you're with me." Said Evileye
"No break I guess." Said Ren
"No, their isn't." Said Evileye
A few healers went to heal the exhausted Momon and Nabe. Team Darkness then spilt up to deal with the various political situations at hand.
Nabe heads towards Lord Akio and adventures camp. Arriving at the camp there were many tents now there are magical log cabins everywhere even Lord Akio has one. Nabe knocks on Lord Akios door. Kenji opens the door and invites her in. Kenji escorts her to a dining room in the cabin. Nabe spots Lord Akio and Lady Lele enjoying tea.
"How did the duel go between the Jade Dragon, Lady Nabe." Said Lord Akio
"A victory for Team Darkness." Said Nabe
"It's as you said Lord Akio they did win against them." Said Lele
"Why was I summoned here." Said Nabe
"I want to know more of the land my people will be living in from now on." Said Lele
"The elf race is treated extremely well in the service of Emperor Ainz." Said Nabe
"Does slave trading still exist in your Empire." Said Lele
"No, it was abolished with the forming of the Empire and the Elves have their own territory to live without fear. King Mare and Queen Aura have lead the elves into a golden age for our people." Said Nabe
"I know who they are I met them after the attack on Heaven City, so I have an important question regarding them two."
The room goes quiet with tension. Lady Lele looks at Nabe with intense eyes.
(I must answer correctly or we'll lose the elves.)
"Why are those two so cute?" Said Lele
"Those two were chosen by Emperor Ainz and are two of his guardians...what, can you repeat that question." Said Nabe
Nabe looks at Lord Akio who has a grin across her face. Nabe looks back at Lele who face is red and is breathing heavily.
"Those are the cutest elves I ever seen especially that King Mare in that outfit it was very... tempting." Said Lele
(Oh supreme being damn it, She's a lolicon. Please forgive me your majesty for what I'm about to do.)
Nabe goes into her bag and pulls out a magic crystal. She places it before Lele and actives it. A image of Mare appears with only wearing a towel around his slim figure. Lele nose begins to bleed seeing this image and her body begins to twitch in pleasure. Lord Akio was enjoying the image but not quite as much as Lele
"If you stay loyal to King Mare and Emperor Ainz while keeping your people under your command you'll be greatly rewarded." Said Nabe
Nabe pulls out 3 more crystals and places them onto the table. Lele looks at them like a wolf looking at its next meal. Nabe coughs breaking her out of her predatory mode. Lele stands up and bows towards Nabe.
"The elves of the east shall be loyal to the Empire and await our Emperor to take us to our new home." Said Lele
Nabe bows back acknowledging Lele so Lele picks up the crystals and takes them to a room in the cabin and you could hear the door lock.
(Please forgive me your majesty and please don't send the queen after me.)
"Nabe now that you have dealt with the Elves I have a proposal for you." Said Lord Akio
Nabe sits down ensuring the seat isn't wet.
"What is it and I'll pass it on to the Emperor."
"Your Emperor wants an embassy in the capitals but how about I give him my land and Lord AoI Is also willing to give his up to allow your Empire to reside here."
"You would be stabbing your own king in the back."
"I know that . . . and I can't wait but I want to be an ambassador for the east and be allowed to live in your Empire."
"I'm assuming Lord AoI wants to go as well."
"Yes but this is more for me."
"Can I ask why."
"Once the forgotten are defeated the Jade Kingdom will try to regain their control over the continent especially since the elves decided to leave."
"Emperor Ainz could ensure everyone gets their own land and ensure peace."
"Not possible since Daichi is in charge, he is a smart man but lacks the skills to run a nation and only will cause more problems ahead."
"You want to run and ensure you don't get involved in any power struggle."
"Yes, I do."
"Why?"
"I was once married to a brave warrior but he died against the forgotten. With him gone the royalty and nobles decided to attack my lands and people taking everything. Many of my people died due to starvation, thirst, and hunger. I want my people to leave this land and these selfish people to start anew in Emperor Ainz Empire!"
"I see I shall tell Emperor Ainz and recommend it but it may not work so don't hold your hopes to high."
"Thank you for your consideration."
"Is that all you wish to speak with me about if so then I should take my leave."
"That is all, sorry to take up your time."
Nabe stands and bows leaving Lord Akio. A few adventures escort her to a cabin labeled Team Darkness.
(How does Emperor Ainz deal with politics?)
Ren knocks on a steel door in his tiger form. He can hear yukis little feet running towards the door. Yuki opens the door with a smile on her face looking at Rens knee caps. Yuki slowly looks up and her happy face turn to fear seeing a large beastman look down on her.
"Hi Yuki."
"Who...are you?"
Ren gets on one knee to get on eye level with yuki and begins to pet her head.
"How can you forget me?"
Yukis face begins to light up realizing who it is. She hugs Ren tightly.
"I'm sorry for not realizing it was you Sir Ren but how did you get so big."
"Its a secret."
Lord Wen comes around the corner seeing a large beastman and begins freaking out. Before Lord Wen starts calling the guards yuki was able to calm him down.
"Oh it you Sir Ren, your appearance has changed quite dramatically."
"I had to change because of that Jade King so what did you want to discuss with me about."
"Please sit down."
Ren sits down on a chair than Yuki jumps on his lap, Lord Wen sits across from him. Before Lord Wen can speak Ren raises his hand stopping him.
"If its about Yuki the answer is still no."
"I know but I have another request."
Lord Wen face becomes stern staring into Rens eyes without the fear from earlier. Lord Wen sits up straight and gives off an air of royalty. Lord Wen waves his hand making yuki fall asleep.
"I want you to kill my father, The shogun."
Ren smiles seeing the resolve in Lord Wen eyes.
"Seems like I was being played by the fool wasn't I."
"Sorry, but it was necessary to play the fool. The kingdoms rot piles up everyday but if we win the rot shall increase. I must assume position of Shogun in order to stabilize the land."
"Why isn't your father doing a good job."
"Ever since my brother died his mind has been lost even refusing to see his granddaughter. The people look at the shogun for strength but he has fell into a hole and I'm afraid he can't be saved."
Lord Wen gets on his knees and grovels before Rens feet.
"Please I beg of you kill my father and I'll aid you with all of the Gold Kingdoms might and resources."
Ren stands from his seat placing Yuki on the chair. He heads for the door.
"I'll have to discuss this with the Guildmaster but if you keep your word I'll consider it."
"Thank you."
Ren leaves Lord Wen room.
(Why can't anything be so easy.)
Momon and Evileye head into the fortress. They arrive at a room similar to a throne room. The room has green colored banners across the wall. Daichi sits at the end the room. Momon and Evileye stand before him.
"I'm pleased that you came to hear my request."
Eveileye nods but Momon stares at him with some anger.
"Why have you called us?" Said Momon
"I saw your fight against the Jade Dragon and if your Emperor has more warriors of your caliber the forgotten shall be easily defeated." Said Daichi
"I shall say it again, why have you called us here." Said Momon
"A man that likes to get straight to the point. Well I want you to kill the other kings and their generals."
Momon takes a step forward about to activate [will of the first] but Evileye grabs his arm stopping him.
"Why should we?" Said Evileye
"You probably already know this but before the forgotten came the Jade Kingdom ruled this land but since we have fell the other kingdoms have become quite unruly."
"The death of their leadership will allow to take control and rule over this land like you did before." Said Momon
"Yes, and I'll give you all the support you need for the final battle against the forgotten."
"We cannot do such matters unless we have spoken with the Emperor until he gives us orders otherwise we shall not participate in such actions." Said Evileye
Evileye and Momon turn around and begin to leave the room.
"Whenever you decide to listen to my advice, I'll be here."
Momon and Evileye leave without saying a word. They continue to walk towards camp and arrive with Ren. The three enter seeing Nabe awaiting them.
"Who shall speak first?" Said Evileye
Nabe raised her hand up.
"I shall, I spoke with Lord Akio and Queen Lele. We have Leles full support and Lord Akio has two requests."
"Thats good, The Elves are the only ones that can't be taken over by the forgotten and what are Lord Akios requests?" Said Momon
"She and Lord AoI want to seek safe Asylum in the empire under the pretext of being representatives for the two kingdoms. They also want to take their people as well." Said Nabe
"She has helped us so we could put in a good word for her with Emperor Ainz." Said Ren
"If we did it'll only cause more tension between us two since we have taken the elves under our banner." Said Evileye
"Either way its up to Emperor Ainz if he is willing to accept her plan or not." Said Momon
"Ren, what about you?" Said Nabe
"Well Lord Wen is quite cunning. He has been playing the fool since the beginning to lower our guard, even the marriage proposal to yuki was also a ploy. He wants me to kill his father to allow him to become shugon to unite the people."
"Did he give a reason for why?" Said Momon
"His father is overcome with sorrow and grief so their military and leadership is in disarray so having him killed will allow him to take his place and organize the people. They have the largest force in terms of number."
"Emperor Ainz must be informed of this but he'll most likely say no due to lack of information." Said Evileye
"What about you two?" Said Nabe
"Well the Jade King wants us to kill all leaders of the two other kingdoms so the Jade kingdom can rule over once again." Said Momon
Nabe and Ren aren't shocked to hear this but are puzzled how could he lead them.
"If we do kill everyone he would give us any aid correct but how?" Said Nabe
"The remaining Jade government is only a handful of people so leading the other two kingdoms will be impossible." Said Ren
"I think he may have lower ranking members moving against the current leadership so he'll have control over everyone." Said Evileye
"That's one possibility, but I think the Jade Kingdom isn't as weak as we think." Said Momon
"Why do you say that Momon?" Said Nabe
"Well its kinda hard to think that the powerful Jade Kingdom would fall so quickly without ever meeting the imposter and his elites till we arrived. The Jade Dragon members and the Jade King could easily deal with class 6 forgotten." Said Momon
"I agree as well. There is also another issue that has been bothering me as well." Said Evileye
"What would that be?" Said Ren
"Where are the other forgotten?"
Team darkness looked at Evileye with confusion.
"Well if the forgotten take living hosts to become twisted creatures why is it they all have been human's types of forgotten?"
They understood Evileyes question and came to a shocking realization.
"Thats true even the class 4 and 5 looked human so how come we haven't run into beast forgotten or monster forgotten? Said Momon
"Maybe the imposter wants to impact the mentality of people by only fighting their own race. If I was fighting another type of forgotten I would be thinking it as another enemy but if it were my own friend or family member I don't know what I would do." Said Ren
"Maybe but we cannot knock out the possibility that their something bigger than a simple enemy controlling a unknown force. Emperor Ainz always wants to learn everything about the enemy before attacking." Said Nabe
"I propose that our rogues do some digging around the capitals so we have a better understanding of what's happening in the shadows." Said Momon
"I'll handle those matters, so don't worry about the politics. I want you three to travel to the remaining races and gather them to face against the forgotten." Said Evileye
"But Guildmaster what about the negotiations with the other kingdoms?" Said Ren
"After you three display your power we will have the upper hand so don't worry about it. We adventures are still strong without Team Darkness around."
"Yes Guildmaster, but will you be sending other teams as well since time is against us." Said Nabe
"No, I want Team Darkness to split up." Said Evileye
The three are shocked hearing something that has never occurred in Team Darkness history.
"Guildmaster, we have always been together. If we split up it might be harder to achieve our goals." Said Momon
"I know but this is my order. I want Nabe to head the mines and find out what happened to the dwarfs and where the forgotten first appeared. I want Momon to head towards the demons and end their civil war. Ren, head towards the beast kingdom and get their support. Pick your team of 50 adventures and you will leave in a week's time. You'll have three months before Emperor Ainz arrives and the final battle begins." Said Evileye
The three stand before Evileye and bow.
"Yes, Guildmaster!"
Team Darkness heads towards their rooms and begin to plan for their journey. Evileye begins to remember her time with her husband Momon the 1st. She smiles and mumbles to herself.
(I miss your dumb pickup lines and our time together dancing. You were such a romantic and even told me your real name, Pandora. I hope your watching me from above because the real adventure begins now. I need as much help as you can give.)
The Mines
A large group of dwarfs are running over a stone bridge that crosses a large chasm. Two groups are crossing the bridge. Dwarfs with heavy armor and another with just normal clothing. The groups surrounded a single dwarven girl carrying a blue orb. The dwarfs cross the bridge and stop standing their ground at the end. The ground began to shake uncontrollably as hordes of forgotten begin rushing out of tunnels. They stop at the other end of the bridge. A single dwarf forgotten stands before them.
The dwarf eyes are black but rugged as if they were replaced with stones. Flesh is seen hanging in his beard. His skin is becoming stone and each move he takes rocks grinding on each can be heard. He has a crown on his head that shines in the lit torches that light up the mines.
"The orb return it to us and we'll let most of you live or don't and you'll die. Either way you're fighting against your king and that is punishable by death."
"You're no longer our king! You have no right to be called a dwarf!"
"I'm a true dwarf you are merely crude copies."
A dwarf knight wakes in front of his people to stand proudly before death.
"We are the ground beneath our feet, we are the mountain that touches the clouds, we are the last of a race, we 700 shall fight to the end because we are the True Dwarfs!"
"Hahaha, a foolish sentiment to a bunch of stupid fools!"
The dwarfs that seemed to cower before their end are standing beside the knight with their heads held up high and bravery keeping their hands from shaking. They each stare down their former king and are ready to fight. The king takes a step back seeing such power. He snaps out of it and commands his army to attack.
The dwarfs brace themselves for the attack. Time seems to have slowed down But at the back of the dwarfs is the little girl holding a blue orb. She is crying in her father's arms.
"My little lily, you must be strong as the mountain because you are our last hope."
She pulls away from her father trying to hold back hear tears. Her father places his hand on her cheek. One can feel the roughness of his hands from all the years working as a blacksmith but to her they are the softest hands in the world. She stops crying to look at her father's face. Her father has a warm smile.
"Lily please run as fast and as far as you can, find help and make sure that orb doesn't fall into the forgottens hands. I'll be waiting here for your return my little mountain."
"Do you promise?"
He lifts his hand holding out his pinky.
"Yes I promise."
The two share a pinky promise and smile with their end looming over them. The people in front of them begin promising to lily as well.
"We all promise that we'll be waiting for you. Lily you can leave without worrying about us because we won't break our promises."
"Yes papa."
She begins to run away from the fight with a brave smile. Her father watches as she leaves into a tunnel that leaves to the outside world. He turns around joining the ranks with the last of his race.
"You all promised my little girl that you all will be here when she gets back so don't you die or you'll break her heart and I'll kill you myself! So charge those bastards and show them the power of the dwarfs!"
The dwarfs begin running towards the forgotten clashing with them in the middle of the bridge.
(Please be safe my little mountain and papa will make sure these monsters won't leave this spot. Wife please watch over our little girl and give me the strength to end these monsters.)
The beast kingdom
The beast kingdom capital city in in flames as forgotten have entered the city from the underground and are causing havoc throughout the city. The prince of the kingdom with the General start running towards the throne room to get the king and queen. But they are shocked to see that when they open the doors there are many dead bodies scattered around the room.
"Father, mother, why have you killed everyone?"
The lion king and queen stand atop a massacre. Blood and limbs of the high council and their attendants cover the walls and floor. The king holds a red orb and blood is flowing into the orb.
The General moves the prince behind him and draws his sword.
"Prince please leave because they are no longer your parents. They both have become forgotten."
The lion king and queen turns around and begins to lunge towards them.
"Run your majesty!"
The prince runs away leaving the General to fight against his parents.
(What should I do?! What should I do?!)
"Prince! Where are you!"
The prince turns to see a group of soldiers searching for him.
"I'm here!"
The soldiers head towards him and surrounded him protecting him from any attack.
"Prince, where are the king and queen and the General?"
"Mother and father have turned and the General stayed behind to hold them off."
The men were shocked to hear this. The prince wants to cry but he holds his tears back to stay strong.
"Your majesty we must leave and regroup."
"What about the civilians?"
"The forgotten attacked from the inside and opened the gates. The city has gone quiet its only a matter of time until they find us so we must leave."
forgotten begin running out of the castle spotting the prince and his guards.
"More food!"
"Damn, we must run!"
The soldier picks up the prince and begins to run away.
(Someday I'll return to end the forgotten and reclaim my home.)
The demons
Three armies stand before each other waiting for a single movement to kill one another. A Large frost dragon stands before his army. A large basilisk stands before his army. A forgotten giant stands before his.
"May this be our final battle old friend because we are tired of living in this worn torn world. We shall fight till our heart beats no more. We shall take as many of our brothers as well."
"Friend please reconsider we could avoid bloodshed and eliminate the enemy that has started this."
The forgotten giant pulls out a yellow orb. The orb is emitting a fog throughout the battlefield and orders his army to attack. The armies begin to clash with one another.
Three major events are occurring throughout the continent. The events are pieces to solving the mystery but you'll have to find out next time!
