Moemon Ranger: Memories of Oblivia Revoir
Chapter 83
The group moved into the next room, the room right before the hall that Purple Eyes had been. There, they were faced with a surprising sight. Four elderly people were sitting at a table, sipping tea. It was Arley, Doctor Ed, Kasa, and Hocus.
"You guys are…" Petal said, shocked.
"The Tea Party." Kellyn said, frowning. "So you're behind this."
"Whoa, I didn't even think of that!" Petal said, surprised. "Nice job."
"Yes, indeed we are." Dr. Edward said, standing up, frowning. "We were the ones who manipulated the Moemon Pinchers for our bidding, and we are the ones who rule over the Steelheads."
"Who are you, really?" Petal asked, frowning.
"We are the Tea Party." Dr. Edward said, standing, holding his arms out. "The four of us began working as the Tea Party 40 years ago. We've been all over the world, stealing anything worth calling treasure. We're such a perfect team, that it amazes even me."
"The Tea Party…" Kellyn said, frowning.
"Yes." Dr. Edward said, nodding. "I am the master planner, Kasa handles disguises, Hocus is crafty, and Arley is strong. Together, the four of us are invincible. However, even the greatest team cannot defeat old age."
"Suddenly, it's his life story?" Kellyn asked, frowning.
"As we grew older, we decided to separate, and I moved to Oblivia. However, as I lived a life of leisure, I felt myself growing stagnant." Dr. Edward continued. "However, I heard legends of the Immortal Ruler of Oblivia, who wore sacred golden armor. So, I contacted my old friends, and decided we would perform one final heist."
The four stood, and they could see that Kasa was wearing the right gauntlet of Weiss's armor, Hocus wore the left, Arley wore the chest, and Edward wore the shoulder pads.
"Now, we have obtained eternal life, and unlimited power." Edward chuckled. "With this, we shall continue our thieving for an eternity, and become rulers of this world. However, this great ruler also controlled an undefeatable power, the power of the Ancient Weapon. He who controls this armor controls the power to tame even the Celestials themselves."
"We won't let you." Petal said, frowning. "We shall be the ones to stop you."
"You can't stop us." Edward said, chuckling. "I, Ed the Thinker, shall obtain power beyond your control."
Edward held up Weiss's mask, and placed it over his face.
The entire temple began shaking. The Tea Party turned and walked towards the far door, but Petal and Kellyn charged after them. However, six Steelheads got in their way.
"You shall not pass us." The Steelheads said, standing in a perfect wall.
"Damn…" Petal said, cracking her knuckles. "In the time it would take us to get rid of them, they'll get away…"
"Hello there." A voice said from behind them. Petal and Kellyn turned to the owner of the voice, surprised.
"Who the hell are you?" Kana asked, frowning. Standing in the doorway were a black haired couple, a man and a woman.
"Our names don't matter." The man said, laughing. He had short, messy black hair and piercing black eyes. He wore a black shirt with no sleeves and black pants, and carried a Japanese sword at his waist.
The girl wore a black jacket over a white tank top that revealed her stomach, and wore a black miniskirt. She had messy black hair that fell down to her shoulders and stuck out in places, and cold, almost dead black eyes.
The man drew his sword and charged at the Steelheads cackling like a madman, the Steelheads scattering.
"…We can handle this…" The woman said, cracking her knuckles, making a martial arts stance.
"…I guess we can leave it to them." Kellyn said, shrugging. The group charged after the Tea Party into the next room, and out onto the veranda, where they saw a large shape emerging from the ocean. The figure was an enormous castle mounted on top of a floating island, and it soared up into the air.
"Farewell, Rangers." Edward said, looking back at them as they climbed aboard the island. "I doubt you'll be able to stop us, but you're welcome to try."
"Edward!" Kellyn exclaimed, charging towards the edge of the Veranda. The island pulled away from the ruins, and drifted off into the distance.
"I'll go." Kana said, frowning. She jumped into the air and flew towards the island, but was knocked back by a force field.
"What the hell?" Kana exclaimed, hitting the force field. "Why can't I get through?"
"Kana, come back for now." Petal said, frowning.
"But…" Kellyn said, frowning.
"There's nothing we can do now." Petal said. "We need to regroup."
"How are we going to regroup?" Kellyn asked.
"I don't know, but we'll find a way!" Petal said, frowning.
"Those guys are invincible now!" Kellyn exclaimed. "They're immortal."
"Not quite." Kellyn and Petal turned to the room to see the two from before standing there.
"They aren't immortal." The man said, shaking his head.
"How do you know?" Kellyn asked, frowning.
"I think that the biggest piece of evidence would have to be that armor." The man said, frowning. "If that armor really granted immortality and made the holder invincible, then why isn't the original wearer of the armor still here to protect it?"
"…" Kellyn and Petal were silent for a while, and then face palmed.
"The armor doesn't make anyone immortal." The woman said, shaking her head. "All it does is grant the wearer the power to control the Celestials."
"And that doesn't make anyone invincible or anything." Petal said, frowning.
"The Celestials aren't the most powerful things in this world." The man said, laughing.
"What?" Petal asked, frowning.
"The Celestials are no match for the power of Longinus." The man said, laughing.
The woman took out a phone and pressed a few buttons, holding it up to her ear.
"Lori, it's us." The woman said. "Open a gate."
A gateway opened up in front of them.
"Come on." The woman said. "We're going to bring down the gods."
EoS: So, who could they be?
Lauren: I wonder…
