KAT: Phew. Kaze' Aaze almost managed to suck me in the darkness, and by darkness, I mean, writer's block.

-Kaze' Aaze's Corner-

Kaze' Aaze: Darn it! She managed to wake up! Oh well, back to the cauldron. -_-"

-Back to KAT and the others = w =-

Arme: Well, at least you're still uploading.

Jin: Ya! We missed you!

KAT: Anyway, where's Geno?

Sieghart: Here he is! *tosses Geno to KAT* Have fun! *disappears from the scene*

KAT: Oh, I will *smirk*

Disclaimer(Geno's voice): KAT owns the plot and me. But she does not own the real characters of Grand Chase and the game.

KAT: Good boy. *pats head*

Geno: ...


Arme teleported her current teammates and herself to Serdin. She spotted the elders and the high mages who bought them time by creating a huge barrier.

"Thank goodness you're here. Our barrier can't take much more damage," an elder said.

"Please evacuate everyone, we'll handle the monsters," Arme said. The mages and the elders nodded and started gathering the people of Serdin in one area, after that, the elders teleported the villagers and themselves inside Serdin Castle's basement.

"Good, let's get going!" the mage fought as many monsters possible to prevent any more damages to her beloved home.

"Lire how's your side?" she contacted the said elf.

"Well, no harm done here, the only thing weird thing is, both the Orc Lord and the Black Fairy Queen are here."

"No signs of danger here, yet." Arme said.

"Arme…big trouble," Jin said.

"What why?" she asked.

"Dark Amon's here," he said. Geno took out his Cutlass, prepared to cut.

"Arme? Is there something wrong?"

"Um…guys, since you're done there, do you mind coming here?" the mage said, trying not to overreact.

"We don't mind, Elesis is practically screaming 'Is that the best you've got!' everywhere. Why?"

"Well, in that case, please tell the others that Dark Amon is here." Arme calmly evaded an attack.

"What?! We'll be right there as fast as we can." With that said, Lire dismissed herself from their conversation. Geno held his Cutlass as though it were a dagger. He managed to copy Lass' fighting style, annoying the thief.

"Mommy? Where are you? MOMMY!" a voice of a young child echoed. Dark Amon looked for the source of the voice. There, he spotted a little girl, roaming the streets, much to his irritation.

The voice alerted Arme.

"Lillia? Is that you?" she searched for the little girl. She froze when she heard Lillia's bloodcurdling scream.

"LILLIA!" Arme screamed one more time, her tears started threatening her. Lass took the child in his arms and took the blow, only to be thrown like an unwanted ragdoll.

"Mr. Lass? Are you okay? Mr. Lass!" the child started crying, annoying Dark Amon even more. Lass regained his consciousness and shielded Lillia with his back. One more blow and Lass' spine will finally break down into pieces.

"Lass! Get down!" Lire yelled. The thief did as he was told. Lire shot an arrow as a decoy and led him to a secluded area.

"Arme you weakling! Stop spacing out and help Lass!" Elesis yelled, running past through the mage. Arme finally realized what had happened.

"Lass! Lillia!" she ran to the two.

"Arme! H-he's bleeding!" Lillia cried as she spoke.

"Shh, he'll be okay Lillia," she cooed. She took out a flask of red potion and drank from it. She place Lass on her lap. She parted his mouth with her finger; she brushed her lips against his and passed down the potion to him. She did this just incase if Lass has suffered a really severe case of internal bleeding.

Then she pulled back and started chanting a healing spell. She was already worn out.

"Lillia, please watch Lass carefully," she said, forcing herself not to topple over.

"Okay Arme," she said and sat down beside the unconscious thief.

Oh no…my vision's blurring. No! I must stay awake! My friends still need me! Arme forced herself to walk.

The others were quite tired. Lire was the decoy for tonight, she was really tired herself. Dark Amon was wounded, but is far away from tired.

Arme noticed his movements. Her eyes widened. He's about to create his shield! She took out her lamp and rubbed it twice. Ifrit appeared with a fiery entrance.

"Take care, master," he disappeared in the lamp after giving his master his blessing. Arme nodded and rubbed her lamp three times. Arme ran behind Dark Amon, who was busy targeting Lire.

"Don't alert him of my presence," she contacted all of her friends at once. They nodded and got up. Undine joined the game and concealed herself, then she appeared before Dark Amon afterwards, freezing him before he could move.

He was now worn out, but still not enough to make him leave.

"Elesis! Do it now!" she gathered all her strength to shout her lungs out.

"DRAGON DIVE!!!" the red haired knight sent out her strongest attack as sword master. With that, Dark Amon's finally defeated.

Arme's legs could no longer stand. She sighed in relief.

"You okay?" Elesis asked, offering her hand.

"Just tired," she replied, accepting her offer. Before she could manage to stand up, she lost consciousness. Elesis helped her stand straight.

"Guys? A little help here?" she asked. "my arms are pretty sore, I might drop her!" she added.

"Ryan, you can handle Lass. I'll handle Arme," Ronan said, he gave the mage a piggy-back ride and decided to return to the headquarters first, with Elesis in tow. Then, Geno came afterwards.

Ryan gathered enough strength just to transform into a wolf.

"Lire, could you please place him on my back?"

"Sure," the blonde elf managed to drag the thief towards Ryan and placed him on his furry back.

"There's still room, want a ride?" Ryan asked.

"No thanks. I'm sure you're tired, me riding on your back will just tire you more," she replied. Then she felt someone tug at her shirt. She turned around, only to see a little girl.

"Yes?" she asked.

"W-will Arme and Mr. Lass be okay?" the little girl asked with pure innocence. Lire smiled and patted her head.

"Of course." She replied with a smile. They entered Serdin Castle, hoping to see the little girl's mother there.

"Lillia! Thank goodness you're alive!" a woman from the crowd immediately approached them and hugged her child.

"Mommy!" Lillia hugged her mother back with a smile.

"I thought something happened to you. Are you hurt?" the mother asked.

"Nope! Mr. Lass and Arme saved me!" Lillia said. The mother stared at her daughter disbelievingly.

"Is that true?" she asked the two, and a wolf.

"You have a good child. She would never lie to you," Lire said.

"B-but how could Kaze'Aaze's vessel…"the mother trailed off.

"Kaze'Aaze and Lass are two different people." Jin said.

"We'll be leaving now," Lire said. The woman was surprised seeing Lass unconscious on the wolf's back.

"Bye!" Lillia just waved at them, oblivious to the fact that her mother was too shocked to speak.


KAT: O w O *stare------~*

Elesis: Stop staring, you're scaring the reviewers!

KAT: I was? Ok, i'll stop.

Jin: Read and Review!

Ryan: *sobs in a corner* I hate wolf leashes...

Lire:*pats head* Don't worry, KAT will pass down the wolf leash to Kaze' Aaze.

Ryan: Really?

Lire: Yup! ^_^
