~Chapter 45: A Family Is A Family~
"Nice to meet you! I'm your older sister, Elsa. Let's get along as you grow up to be a fine man."
A young Elsa grinned as she held her baby brother in her arms. Elsa... She has someone who can fight beside her. Someone who she'll want to protect. Someone who she'll always care, even when she's an old woman.
"My brother is my family. A family is a family. Even if he's dead or forgotten me or he hates me.. He'll always be my family."
"Windmill!"
"Maelstrom Rage!"
Elsa spun around with her blade, forming a whirlwind that will continuously inflict damage. Elsword pushed down onto his heels and thrust a Cornwell forward, erupting into a frenzied storm of Cornwells. Both attacks clashed as Elsword began to thrust a Cornwell forward, attempting to pull Elsa in.
Elsa immediately bend down, and concentrate on her energy, a red outline appearing around her. The damage was lessen, and Elsa was pulled in, however, Elsa immediately locked Elsword in a series of deadly slashes.
"Mega Slash!"
Elsa ended the series with a full powered Mega Slash and slammed her fist against Elsword's chin, doing an uppercut. Elsword was lifted in the air for a moment before receiving another full powered Mega Slash. Elsword was knocked back from the slash as he stared at her, gripping his blade tightly.
"Elsa... Why do I have to learn swordsmanship? Especially from you. Couldn't it be Lowe or father?"
Elsword stared at Elsa with an eyebrow raised. Elsword finally grew up into a young boy. Elsa was enthusiastic to teach Elsword everything she's been learning. And.. She couldn't help, but be strict with him.
"Because Lowe is just a year older than you. He doesn't have that much experience with a sword as I do. Also.. I've been training with a sword for at least six years now. I have more experiences and I can give you more tips than Lowe can. Also... I'm your older sister."
"So what? It's not like you're an expert. Father has more experience in swordsmanship than you/ Six years can't be compared to thirty years. That's five times yours."
"Father is busy. I may not have the experiences' worth like him, but.. I'll learn more as time pass. I'm your older sister. I have the resposibilities as one. I want to teach you the things I've learned and protect you."
Elsa stared at Elsword with a serious look on her face. Elsword glared at Elsa for a moment before softening up. He sighed and swung his blade, pointing it at Elsa before speaking.
"Whatever. Hurry up and continue the training!"
"Triple Geyser!"
Flames surrounded Elsword's blade as he slammed it in front of him into the ground. The ground shook as three flaming geysers erupt from the ground. The blazing flames burned Elsa's skin slightly along with her long crimson hair. She stared at the ends of her hair before chopping it off with her blade. She held the cut hair in front of her and threw it up in the air. Both hands were on the hilt and Elsa spun around. A circular shockwave was unleashed, stunning Elsword.
"Sonic Blade!"
Elsa positioned herself for the next attack. She launched herself forward, swinging her blade around her 360 degree, slamming her blade against the hard ground. This sent out a shockwave, strong enough to lift Elsword into the air.
"Fatal Fury!"
Elsa striked Elsword several times, knocking him off his feet. Elsword glared at Elsa before raising his leg and kicked her in the stomach. He slammed his blade into the ground and punched Elsa in the face. At the same time, he slammed his knee against Elsa's arm, grabbing her blade. He slammed the hilt against her spine and knocked her off her feet while throwing her blade away.
Elsa crouched down for a bit before launching herself towards Elsword, and gave him an uppercut. She immediately socked him in the eye and kicked him in the face, below the chin. Elsword coughed out blood and wiped his mouth, clenching his fist.
Small fists were made as Elsword continuously slammed his fist against the hard wood. He slammed his knee against the wood, frozen for a moment before clutching his knee.
"Why must I learn martial arts all of a sudden?! First swordsmanship, now this?! Elsa!"
Elsword's blazing red eyes glared into another similar blazing red eyes of his older sister. Elsa's arms were crossed as she raised at eyebrow at him. She sighed and knelt down to his level and stared into his eyes.
"Well... You can't just have swordsmanship.. What if your blade gets knocked out of your hand.. What will you do? Throw random punches or kicks that can be dodged easily with a pro around. No matter how lucky you are, random punches or kicks will get you nowhere in the world. So.. It's best if you learn martial arts. Plus.. You get to be stronger as well, and maybe even combine some skills with the blade."
Elsa stood up and whipped around, slamming her leg against a wooden dummy and smashing it in half. Elsword clenched his fists and stood up, continuing his punches and kicks with determination.
Elsword lowered his body and position, swinging his leg, bringing Elsa down. His leg locked hers in a tight grip as he tried to reach out for her neck. However... Elsa somehow got out of the tight grip and jabbed her knee against Elsword's thing which gave him.. Thousand times the pain he had in a battle against Aisha.
Elsa did a somersault, and kicked Elsword in the face once again. As soon as she was standing normally, she grabbed her blade and rushed forward. Elsword's eyes watched Elsa's actions closely before he calmly moved past her and jabbed her against the spine. Elsa fell forward slightly as Elsword grabbed his blade, and stabbed it into the ground, creating three flaming geysers.
"Triple Geyser! Rage Cutter!"
Elsword immediately stabbed a Cornwell into the ground, creating a magic circle and mini Cornwells erupt from the circle. Elsa was continuously damaged by the Cornwells and the strength in Elsword's attacks. Elsa was proud of him, and decided to finish the battle now.
A red aura was released from Elsa as her blade was transcended, increasing her range. The red aura that was released created a small shockwave that pushed Elsword back slightly. Elsa pushed back on her heels before launching herself forward and began to spin around. A whirlwind was formed and deadly slashes from the continuous whirlwind was made. Elsword was slammed against a tree. Elsa immedaitely stabbed her blade against the rough bark, next to Elsword's delicate neck.
"Elsword! If I defeat you once more after I come back from Feita, then.. You'll have to promise me something!"
"Like?"
Elsword stared warily at his sister as he slowly took a step back. Elsa was... Slightly offended, yet at the same time, amused. Elsa smiled with ideas of what to do if Elsword did get defeated by her. Then again... Elsword would grow stronger.
"I'll tell you when I think of a good one. Now.. Let's continue your training before tomorrow comes!"
"Unlimited Blade!"
Elsword's eyes slowly closed as his back slid down from the rough bark. Elsa caught her brother, looking at him with worry. She slipped her arms under him, carrying him in her arms easily. She ran past Raven and the others, into the cabin.
Aisha was about to follow them, until Rena stopped her. Aisha was confused, and a bit annoyed, until she realized why Rena stopped her. Raven reached his hand out towards Aisha with his blade in his other hand. The Elemental Master took his hand and smirked lightly. Both raised their weapon and an explosion could be heard.
Elsa slowly changed the towel on Elsword's forehead and softly rubbed against his bruises with an ointment. Elsword slowly opened his eyes and stared into his sister's eyes.
"...I'm sorry. Elsa... I couldn't accept you as my sister.. That clone imidated you, and hurt my friends.."
"That's okay. Elsword.. You've grown strong during the years I haven't been with you. Also... You're my family. A family is a family. You'll always be my brother, even if you hate me, forgot me, or you're gone from this world."
Elsa pinched Elsword's cheek softly as she grinned. Elsword softly smiled at his sister. He was finally reunited with his sister. A family... Is a family no matter what happens.
