~Chapter 28: Invading~

"Echo. I have a new job for you to do."

"Wally.. What is it that you want me to do?"

"Invade Elrios Academy and steal this item for me. It's just a memory chip, but... Only people from Altera have the perfect memory chips for the plan. That's why.. Tonight, you're going to invade into the place and find Eve of Altera. After you find her, steal a memory chip from her."

"When should I start?"

"Tonight."

Echo's green olive eyes glowed as she smiled brightly at Wally and skipped towards her room. She prepared to intrude and wasn't going to hesitate to kill anyone if they stood in her way.

'Stealing a memory chip from someone from Altera... This is going to be hard. Wait.. Altera... I hope.. This Eve hasn't found out about the Elsa clone and the mission. As long as she finds out, Elsword will be a hindrance if she foils Elsa clone's plans. Hmm.. I should.. Destroy Eve. I need to get her out of the way. If Eve is not in the way... Then... Everything will go just as according!'

Echo smirked lightly as she grabbed all sorts of potions and jumped out of a window, landing gracefully on her feet. Echo skipped towards the academy and prepare herself to sneak into the academy.

While Echo works on her plan, Eve was in Chung's arms safely, and sleeping soundly. Chung watched her sleep with a worried expression. He couldn't help, but feel that something bad was going to happen.

'Eve... Lately, we've been sleeping together secretly, but... There will be a time where we have to sleep separately and I won't be able to watch over her. Eve is a strong girl, but.. There's no way I'll let her fight and get herself injured.'

Eve turned in her sleep and rubbed her head against his chest. Soon, the clockhand moved and it hit twelve. It was finally midnight, and Echo successfully sneaked inside. She pulled up her mask and ran towards the dormitory. She took out a potion of bubbling green liquid and poured it on the front door. The door rapidly melted silently as she smirked lightly. The doors were no longer there, and Echo casually walked in.

'Let's see... There are thousands of students in this academy. There should be two dormitories.. I can't search for Eve by checking each dorm. Maybe... Elsa's clone knows.'

Echo took a small red pouch and sprinkled a little of the contents from the pouch onto the ground. A minute of waiting, a faint red trail appeared and continued on towards the direction of a certain dorm. Echo smiled and followed the red trail without any doubt in her mind. Finally, she stopped in front of a dorm, and she took out a bobby pin from her hair.

She silently slipped the bobby pin and began to pick the lock expertly. Soon, a soft click could be heard as Echo turned the knob. Inside, Elsa's eyes snapped open as she grabbed her blade and swung her blade around, releasing a circular shockwave.

"Sonic Blade!"

Fortunately for Echo, she tripped over her own feet and fell, dodging the attack. The shockwave from Elsa's blade created an explosion, waking everyone up. The alarms went off, indicating that there were intruders. Eve's eyes opened as Moby and Remy flew to her. Chung stood up and grabbed his Grenades and Destroyer.

Echo who heard the alarms going off, she closed the door to Elsa's dorm and choked Elsa. While Elsa was shocked to see her creator in her dorm.

"Elsa! You idiot! Why'd you attack me! Now look at the mess!"

"I-I'm sorry..."

"Whatever. Is Eve of Altera in this dormitory? I want to find her."

"Y-Yes.. She's in this dormitory. However, I'm not very sure of her dorm number. The only thing I know is that she's always with Chung Seiker of Hamel."

"Chung Seiker... Interesting... Oh well, now that you caused a commotion.. It'll drag more attention, meaning... Eve will come here."

"Elsa! Are you okay?!"

Echo smirked and nodded her head towards Elsa. Elsa bowed down to her and her eyes glowed. She raised her blade and spun in a whirlwind. Echo nearly dodged it as Elsa's attack collided with her door, obliterating it into bits and pieces. Elsa stopped in her attack as Aisha appeared in front of Echo and swung her staff towards her. Echo's eyes widened as Aisha mercilessly released a lightning bolt and a meteor.

"Infernal Wave!"

Echo was thrown against the wall as she looked at Aisha with surprise. Aisha raised her staff and collected the force around her and readies an attack. Eve released a force and electric wings were formed on her back. Eve raised her hand and sent out beams of energy from her fingertips.

"Particle Ray!"

Echo dodged half of the numbers of Eve's attack as she attempt to run away. She threw a potion and it exploded into a gas, covering everyone's vision. Chung slipped on his helmet and raised his Destroyer and shot out series of homing missiles. The missiles followed Echo and damaged Echo gravely. Her mask was blown away and her face was revealed.

Aisha's eyes widened in shock and sadness as she realized her friend was invading the academy. She stopped charging up for Magic Missile and dropped her staff. Aisha took a step back and almost tripped if Elsword hadn't caught her by her waist.

Echo pushed herself up and threw an explosion at the students. Chung took Eve's hand, pulling her towards him, and avoided the blast. Elsword turned his body around while holding Aisha, creating a faint red aura around him, negating the blast. Echo jumped out of the window with injuries and disappeared into the darkness.

Aisha slowly shed tears and Elsword was frozen as he stared at her crying. Eve and Chung immediately knew who the intruder was and began to talk in secret about it. Rena and Ara comforted Aisha as her tears flowed almost endlessly.

'Echo..! Why?! Why are you invading into the academy..? You.. You even tried to harm Elsa.. How could you try to hurt someone without blinking an eye..? Echo... You weren't like this back then.. Didn't you say that Alchemy should never be used for evil? Didn't you say that Alchemy is something that should be used for good...? Yet... You're contradicting your words... Echo...!'

~Author's Note~

I'm sorry if the chapter sucks.. I was in a rush. I still have to finish this one shot I've been writing these days. And... O: My homework! History vocabulary and math homework! Oh my god!

Anyways... I can't calm down! I'm glad I finished English and Science... Oh! And has everyone recycled for Earth's Day on Elsword~? If you have, then you must have gotten those cubes.. :3 Aren't you happy? The cubes give out el shards, weapon enhancement stones, magic stones... And... I think that's all. I forgot.. Anyways, good luck on the Tears of the Ruben Forest and start recycling! :D

Here are my replies to my reviewers~

RubyCrusade: Well.. There are many authors who also add plot twists.. So, I'm not the only master! XD All authors on this site are plot twist masters~ If I'm going to make someone die... Then maybe it would be... *stares at Aisha* Aisha~ :D I like Aisha, but hate her so much in PvP. She runs too much. Well, it's not her fault, but the player's for running away, but still! :( I don't like Aisha in PvP, but I like her in other stuff. XD Well... Unfortunately, no one's curious about their engagement. XD

Konjiki No Yami: You can't blame me. XD I have school. Well, if I managed to finish my one shot, then maybe I'll have more time to write the next chapters for this story and update faster. Then again.. I'm busy.. XD

Katarsus: Ooh.. An avid reader? Nice! You read all of the chapters in an hour? :3 Awesome~ :D I'm glad you like this story. More is coming very soon, so no worries! :D

Yumi-San Angel: Who knows~? Only Raven knows. XD Right now, Seris is a huge fan of Raven and Rena. Didn't you see her saying to name their child "Seris"? XD

Reaper53: Okay... O_O Enjoy reading?

Kat Neko983: September 1st.. Okay~ Cheve is coming soon, after the Elsword and Aisha tragedy. XD Btw.. Is Kiyo going to tell me the pairing he wants and the plot?!

Hospes: Those with strong wishes always end up going in the wrong path, and end up in darkness. Your question has been answered. Aisha's reaction... She pretty much broke down. Yeah, many of the couples I support usually have their personalities compatible. For example, Eve and Chung's personality supports the other and very compatible. Elsword and Aisha... Complete opposites, and opposites attract. XD Rena and Raven.. They were destined. XD You and Seris should be sisters. XD

Kiyo-Kun Blade: Fate is always cruel. You should know that by now. Battle scenes... I'm not very good. Not as good as ShiraCirca. :3 Btw... Which pairing and what plot do you want? o; Please tell me!

Ada Gaeshi Hart: Plot twists are everywhere. XD I'm sure you can write a story that'll be better than mine~ :3 Everyone has a potential in writing a story out of their creative imagination. Like i said... 200 reviews will be a miracle. XD

Thanks for reading!
