This is the 3rd chapter. I don't own the series of Danmachi or the videogame of Kingdom Hearts.
Nehz XZX: I understand that, you're trying to make the reviews readable while try to be reasonable, but there are some possibilities that there are some insults to it. Though, it's not the first time whenever I saw some flame reviews in the different stories I've been working on. But just to let know, I'm just doing this story my way, and I'm taking it slow because I've been working on a different stories.
Also, it'll be hard to try given them rough details, but knowing about the Gods and Goddesses from the different Pantheons, they might've gathered some information about the past events. Especially to the 'Prince of Lies', 'The Trickster', Loki.
Also, I'm not saying that Sora is stupid, he's just not the brightest tool in the shed. True that Sora is intelligent by his own rights, but he can be a bit childish and like Mushu said, 'He would fall for anything'.
And it's understandable about the last part of Ryuu and Astrea, but to give you a heads up, some women likes strong men, some likes men who's smart, though it's complicated.
The Aeshma Familia
After Ryuu, Astrea, and Fenris have settled with an agreement on going to the beach, they set the supplies somewhere inside while they get change at the changing room. The area where they went for was as full as they thought, which it's no wonder that the beach is packed with adventurers who wanted to spend some time there and relax for all of their work of adventuring.
Fenris was the last one to change since he had nothing to change, because they have to purchase some swimsuits. He's now wearing a black swim trunks.
After coming out of the changing room, he saw Ryuu and Astrea were waiting for him. But Ryuu and Astrea noticed his physical appearance which it got them impressed and blushed, but shocked that Fenris has some battle scars on his chest that was like a vertical slash, some number of scars on his left arm, his shoulders, the left side of his rib, and his right forearm. They can tell that Fenris has been through a lot of battles during his travels and his time as a Keyblade Wielder.
"Well...Shall we find a good spot?" Ryuu suggests, clearing her throat while regaining her composure, but still blushed from his cheeks.
Fenris, Ryuu, and Astrea started walking out of the sun and hot weather towards the fitting spot on the beach.
However, Fenris is starting to notice that the people, especially women, were staring at the Keyblade Wielder. He wasn't recognized, but nevertheless, the woman are staring at him the most and started giggling at him. He had a feeling that he's getting some attention from the female adventurers while the male adventurers were staring at Ryuu and Astrea.
Apparently, Fenris didn't like the attention from them, but it's obvious that he has a body that's well-developed and muscular. Also, it happened during his lifetime of training in martial arts, magic, and the Keyblade back at Daybreak Town, which of course, the girls paid mostly attention to him instead of training, which he didn't appreciate it.
'Geez, it's like back at Daybreak Town all over again, where I was mostly focusing on training while the girls my age were paying attention towards me. It's annoying.' Fenris mentally thought with annoyance.
As they continued walking while try to find a spot, Fenris saw the beautiful blue sea. It immediately reminded him of the Waterfront Park: Dock, the Beach, where he spend his time with his late friends at the beach, and where he and his former comrades fought against the Heartless called Shipwreck Shark.
Fenris immediately snapped out of his thoughts and back to the present while following with the others.
They have placed their things at the spot. Fenris helps Astrea take care of things, while relaxing and enjoying the sun.
It seemed Fenris was taking a liking by this new world, which made him a little bit happy, considering that he was from another world called Daybreak Town, which he needs a change of pace while try to get used to live here in the new world. What's more, there were 2 girls with swimsuits next to him. He knew that both Astrea and Ryuu too had dealt with hardships, considering the loss of their comrades because of the Rudra Familia and the Juggernaut.
Meanwhile, there were more and more curious people, mostly girls and young women, watching them relaxing while looking at his physique, which it got him annoyed. Ryuu and Astrea noticed the female adventurers staring at Fenris, which it got them jealous.
Then out of nowhere, they heard a scream which it got Fenris' attention. He turned his head, seeing one person run towards the beach, then the others started to scream and immediately more people did the same. Fenris noticed something that was coming from the sea, seeing a very large fin.
Then, that being emerged from the sea which was a Monster. Fenris noticed that it was a sea serpent that has parts of the shark. Fenris then rush towards that monster with his Guardian Soul Keyblade from his right hand.
(Vim and Vigor-Kingdom Hearts 2 Soundtrack)
The sea monster turned its head towards Fenris, who's charging after it and readied his fighting stance. The sea monster lets out a roar and moving after him with its mouth open, about to eat him.
"Fira" Fenris aims his Keyblade, unleashes the fireball at the sea monster.
The sea monster pulls back and lets out a scream in pain while its mouth is burning.
Ryuu, Astrea, and the adventurers were speechless when they saw Fenris is fighting against the sea monster. The Aeshma Familia also noticed the Keyblade Wielder fighting, but some of the Aeshma Familia recognized him which it got them angered that he beaten them with ease. Oriana and Karen were also speechless, but also impressed of Fenris' magic.
They snapped out of their thoughts as Astrea instructed Ryuu to get the adventurers out for water while Oriana and Karen decided to do the same.
Fenris then returned to his fighting stance when the sea monster somehow, recovered fast from the flames and stares at the Keyblade Wielder with anger. The sea monster then wriggled fast towards him and out of the water. Fenris knew that the sea monster is too fast for him to run, which the only option for him is to fight. The sea monster was about to open its mouth again, Fenris high jumps to the side and dodging that bite while had a chance to counter.
"Thunder Barrage" Fenris then lets out a projectile lightning slashes at the scales of a sea monster, causing the monster to scream in pain.
"Glacial Arrows" Fenris then fires the ice arrows right at the sea monsters head.
The sea monster is now even more angry while gazing at Fenris.
"Everyone is out of water, Lady Astrea." Ryuu informed the Goddess.
"Good, now I think he doesn't need to be afraid for everyone's safety." Astrea comments.
"I should go and help Fenris." Ryuu suggests.
"No, he'll be fine. He knows how to fight." Astrea assures her with a smile, watching Fenris fight against the sea monster.
While at the sea, the sea monster opened its mouth which Fenris could see some kind of energy accumulating from its mouth. Fenris then switches his position to a defensive stance. When the energy is fully accumulated, it shoots a blue ray towards him.
"Reflectga" Fenris then uses his magic, forming a barrier of light when it guards the blue ray, and reflects right back at the sea monster when the blue ray froze it.
"Heaven's Sword" Fenris then flash-step towards the sea monster and lets out a lightning slash, shattering the sea monster into pieces.
(Music Ends)
After the fight was over, the sea monster vanished before a glowing stone appeared, falling in the water. Fenris then walk towards, grabs it and wondering what it was.
'Doesn't matter, I need to go back with the others.' Fenris mentally thought.
As he went back to the beach, while the Guardian Soul Keyblade vanished from his hand, he approaches Ryuu and Astrea. He also noticed that the two girls had a shocked expression on their faces.
Then, he saw the other people were staring at the Keyblade Wielder with awe and stunned of his actions, which it got him confused. Not only they were stunned of Fenris' power, but they began to let out a roar with cheer. Fenris couldn't help but sighed, feeling annoyed which he's not used to be the center of attention.
Ryuu and Astrea noticed that Fenris is holding an item from his hand which it's valuable, but unfortunately, the Keyblade Wielder isn't an adventurer yet, but he was able to save the adventurers from the sea monster. Fenris even remembered how Astrea informed him about the currency called 'Valis' from this world instead of 'Munny' from Daybreak Town and fighting against Heartless. He even made suggestion about exchanging some 'Munny' from 'Valis', whether it may or may not work, it only depends if he can get some information from the Guild.
Then, Fenris, Ryuu, and Astrea turned when they noticed the Aeshma Familia and a God named Aeshma approaches the three.
Aeshma has long, unruly dark red hair and yellow eyes. He's topless, exposing his muscular body, and wears brown pants with pale covers, a belt, earrings, necklace, and bracelets.
"So, you must be the new adventurer I've heard about." Aeshma said, crossed his arms with a smirk. "While I'm impressed of how you beat that monster, but I didn't approve of you beating my Familia."
"That's funny, because your couple of cronies were harassing Oriana and Karen, only because these guys couldn't take 'no' for an answer." Fenris retorted with a glare. "You should put them on a short leash."
Aeshma didn't like that respond, but can tell that he's telling the truth. He then turns to his Familia, who flinches while cowering from behind since he'll deal with them later. Aeshma then turns back to Fenris as he spoke.
"The only reason why we're looking for a girl is because one of them has to marry Enoch and bear a child." Aeshma states, gesturing to Enoch. "And this guy right here, that's Enoch. He's the result for my past experiments."
Fenris then noticed something about Enoch, he can tell that he's strong, but not on his level. Aeshma then turns to Ryuu and Astrea with a lecherous grin on his face, much to their annoyance.
"And by the looks of it, you seem to have some gorgeous women with you." Aeshma said. "I was hoping if one of you would marry..."
"We're not interested." Ryuu and Astrea told him.
"Oh come on, you didn't let me finish." Aeshma said with a chuckle, scratching the back of his head.
"I think you said plenty. Just take that answer and leave." Fenris told him. "It's their choice to marry, and you can't treat them like some property. Women are meant to be treated with respect, and there's no way they'll marry someone, like you or Enoch or any other creeps. Neither of you would understand their feelings, not in a million years."
Both Ryuu and Astrea couldn't help but blush of Fenris' statement while Aeshma and his Familia didn't like his comment when Enoch is starting to get angry.
"How dare you! You have the gall to disrespect Lord Aeshma!" Enoch shouts angrily.
"Nobody asks you." Fenris remarked. "Besides, your shirtless God didn't earn any of my respect."
"Why you..." Aeshma growled in anger while Astrea and Ryuu started to giggle. "...Boy, you don't know who you're dealing with."
"Oh, I know who I'm dealing with. I'm dealing with a shirtless, self-proclaimed God, who is nothing but a womanizer and wanted for your errand boy to marry a woman who barely knows." Fenris said.
And that was the last straw.
"THAT'S IT! I am not going to be insulted!" Aeshma yelled, had enough as he turns to his Familia. "I want all of you deal with that boy!"
Fenris then tosses the item when Ryuu catches it as he then brings out his Guardian Soul from his right hand and his Oathkeeper from his left hand. Aeshma and his Familia were shocked of his weapons that are shaped like keys, but quickly regaining their composures as they charge after him while Fenris does the same. Fenris makes his first move by crossing his Keyblades while the Aeshma Familia raises their weapons.
"Glacial Sword" Fenris then flash-step towards the Aeshma Familia, sent them flying when they grunted in pain while their weapons were frozen as they fall down to the ground. "All bark and no bite."
Aeshma and his Familia were shocked that Fenris was able to beat them down easily with only one strike and freezes their weapons. The mages from the Aeshma Familia began to use their incantation which Fenris notices that they're about to use magic.
"Too slow! Lightning Tornado" Fenris then began to use magic of his own, unleashing a lightning tornado as the mages were sucked in and scream when the cyclone spins them around while shocking them with lightning.
After Fenris made a quick work with a mages, who're fallen down to the ground while feeling numb, Enoch walked towards him with a scowl.
"I commend you for your mastery of magic and your strength, but it won't save you for long when I'm done with you." Enoch told him, began to incantation. "Arise, hero of old: Hoplizon Teleios"
Enoch uses his magic to enhance his strength, then raises his hand, aiming at Fenris.
"Explode, waves of the heavens: Ekrixi Teleios" Enoch then uses his magic, firing his magic at Fenris.
"Reflectga" Fenris then uses his magic, forming a barrier of light to protect himself while reflect the magic right back at him.
The magic then hits Enoch, sent him flying as he crashes against the ground. Fenris then vanishes his two Keyblades, walking towards him with a serious look on his face.
"Are you done?" Fenris asks.
Unfortunately, Enoch isn't finished when scowls at the Keyblade Wielder as he charges after him with blind rage, about to deliver a punch when Fenris easily dodges and delivers a chop to the back of his neck, knocking him out.
After the pointless fight is over, Fenris turns to Aeshma with a glare on his face. Aeshma is completely stunned, never thought that the Keyblade Wielder could even defeat his Familia so easily, even he defeated Enoch without even breaking a sweat. Even though, Fenris have fought worse than this and during his travels on daily basis. Aeshma is now enrage when he was about to use his powers, but...
"Aeshma, that's enough!" Astrea shouts, earned his attention. "Just face it, you've already lost the fight because Fenris has proven that he's the strongest, if not, experienced fighter. And if you continued this transgression any further, there will be consequences if the Gods have found out about this."
Aeshma couldn't help but click his tongue in respond, knows that she's right when he notices the entire people were watching the scene. He then decided to call it off, helping Enoch pull himself up while his Familia stands up, walked away in defeat.
Fenris can only watch Aeshma and his Familia left the beach and out of sight, crossed his arms when Ryuu approached him.
"I believe this is yours." Ryuu said, extends the item to him.
Fenris nods, grabbing the item.
"Well, since the relaxation at the beach has been ruined, I'm afraid it's best that we leave." Astrea suggests.
"What about that shirtless guy? Won't he be coming back?" Fenris inquires.
"I wouldn't worry about that, Aeshma may have to find someone else who can marry Enoch and bare his children. But unfortunately, it won't happen because of his Familia's utter defeat." Astrea told him. "Then again, you did face worse enemies that's far more powerful than the sea monster and Aeshmas Familia."
"Which it does explain of those battle scars you have." Ryuu adds, noticing the scars on his body.
"Yeah." Fenris said quietly. "But it's just something I didn't like to talk about it. And participating at war is not something to boast, either."
Ryuu and Astrea can understand, decided not to pry as they decided to head towards the changing room since they had enough excitement for one day. But unknown to them, the words have spread throughout Orario and Melen. Since the adventurers are tourist, they would spread word around the known world about a mysterious warrior fought and defeat a sea monster, and the Aeshma Familia.
That's it for the 3rd chapter.
I know it's short, but this is the 3rd part of Prologue. Just bare with it.
