~Chapter 46: Unknown Help~
A glowing screen showing the map to Wally's castle, including all of it's secret doors, interiors, and short cuts. Eve traced her fingers across the screen as the other watched intently.
"If we split into groups, I'm sure we would be able to attract less attention. Chung, Ara, and I would go to the eastern side of the castle. There would be a trap door that would allow us to enter directly to the front entrance. We will distract the enemy while the two remaining groups would invade and destroy their front lines."
Eve paused in telling of her plans as she stared at the others. Chung began to memorize the castle's map in his mind as he already discussed the plans with Eve. Elsword and Ara slowly nodded as the information sinks into their head. Elsa, Aisha, Raven, and Rena nodded their heads as they waited for Eve to approach further into the plan.
"Elsa, Elsword, and Aisha would be together, Team A. You guys would enter directly from the southern interior. There's a wall there that can be pushed open and you'll be able to enter the castle's chambers. From there, you'll continue on forward, and keep on going straight. Raven and Rena would be Team B. You guys can enter the western side. All you need to do is jump over a wall and you'll be in the garden, and.. Be careful. There might be.. Some strange Nasods there."
"Hey... If Elsa, Aisha, and I are Team A. Raven and Rena are Team B. Is it possible that...?"
"Team D."
"Why not Team C...?"
"D stands for Decoy. And there is a Team C. You'll figure that out later as I give out the planning. Now.. Let's discuss the positions our enemy has their best people out there. Elsa the clone would be guarding the higher interior where Wally would be hiding and according to my database... Aren Haan would also be there."
Silence overcame them as Chung's expressions darkened with hate. His fists are clenched as he remembered the day that Eve was injured. Ara and Elsa's expressions were not of hate, but sadness. A brother, a friend... Is now their enemy.
"Below them would be Echo. She would bring out any kind of alchemist potions that she's created over the years she's trained in it. Also.. At the entrance, Toma would be guarding there. Team D, like I said, would be decoy and attract his attention and the soldiers. I have a few warnings though.. Beware of Nasods that were created by Wally. Also, since Altera might be providing supplies to Wally, I believe there would be Electrifying Tongs around the areas."
"What does it do?"
"It stuns you, and you'll remain vulnerable to any attacks for about a few seconds. Now.. We have only one chance. We'll head out during the nighttime. At that time, their security would be lowered and we'll use that moment to invade."
"So.. We'll be starting to sleep an hour later and save up as much energy as possible for tonight. Latest would be during midnight. For now.. Let's relax and enjoy our dinner before going to sleep. Eve and I will wake you guys up if it's over the decided time."
Chung softly took Eve's hand and led her to the kitchen. Elsword stared at Elsa and Ara for a moment before going towards Aisha. Raven took Rena to the kitchen along with Elsword and Aisha. Food from various kingdoms were on the table and looked elegant and delicious. Preparing a feast to boost the morale of the group up would be a great help and adding the sleep. Chung smiled at Eve as she returned it with tightening her grip around his hand.
Outside, Ara sat on the roof, staring at the sun with her golden eyes. She reached out for it before thinking of her brother once again.
"Ara! Come over here! Look how pretty the sun is!"
Aren reached his hand out for his sister as she tried to grab it. She was unfortunately a bit too short to reach for it. She looked around before landing her eyes on a chair. She placed it in front of the building and grabbed Aren's hand tightly. Aren laughed as Ara squealed, holding his hand tightly.
He immediately pulled her up, hugging her tightly. He grinned as he pulled her cheeks apart and placed her in front of him. Ara's eyes stared into the sun's setting form. The sky was rosy, yet reflects an orange color. Ara smiled brightly as she waved her arms around.
"Ara, you'll always be my baby sister."
"...Aren.. You really know how to ruin my mood, don't you? I'm not a baby!"
"My baby sister."
Aren grinned as Ara pouted at him. She sighed as she leaned back against her brother and silently admits the fact that she's his only baby sister, and will always will be one.
"Baby sister..."
"Aren always mentioned how his baby sister would always spar with him and try to aim for her goal. She would try to watch the sunset with him whenever he or she has a chance to do so. Ara.. You were special to Aren. It almost made me jealous."
Elsa sat down behind Ara, and leaned back against Ara's back. Their back touched each other as Ara sadly smiled. Elsa clenched her fists as Aren was the one who injured Eve.
"No... It's not as special as you think. I... I'm a burden to him. Always sticking to him like glue. I.. I guess I have a brother complex. I can't let go of my brother as he was a family member and someone who understands me. When he wasn't beside me, I couldn't help, but think... I was just acting strong in front of him when actuality, I was just a weak little girl."
"Not at all. Aren... He has never considered you a burden to him. When I traveled with him, he continuously told stories of his baby sister and would never get bored of it. Don't feel like you're a burden to him. You're his determination in life."
"Thank you.. Elsa. Oh yeah, I've been wanting to ask you this for a while, but.. Are you and my brother.. Lovers? If you are, I don't mind getting a niece or nephew anytime soon. In fact, I'll babysit them for you guys~"
Ara smiled brightly as she turned around, facing Elsa. Elsa was red in face and restrained herself from doing any violence towards Ara. Ara... Is an innocent girl. Elsa stayed silent which made Ara think that the answer is yes. Ara smirked lightly before hopping off the roof. She opened the door to the cabin and shout out towards Elsa.
"Elsa! Hurry up and get in, or there won't be any food left for you and the baby~!"
This caused Elsword who was drinking his soda, choked violently. Eve was surprised to hear the sudden exclamation and gave Chung an opening. Chung immediately leaned in and slipped his tongue in and gave her berries. The juiciness of the berries were sliding against Eve's tongue and it's flavor remained on both of their tongue. Rena squealed and bounced around.
Aisha pat Elsword's back as he tried to regain his breath. Raven sighed and watched Elsword in slight amusement. Elsword continuously muttered of how his sister is a grown woman, but already having a child... Eh.. The remaining mutters shall be left unknown. Elsa blushed bright red as she chased Ara inside. Everyone had a smile on their face. A genuine smile, but.. This genuine smile might be their last.
Echo gracefully typed on a screen and sighed as she stretched her arms. The capsules released two people. Elsa the clone and... Aren. The clone's hair was a darker shade of crimson red as her eyes are black. Aren.. His hair was complete silver with red glowing eyes, a demon..
"Well.. You guys are given a new appearance, extra boost in your powers. Hopefully, you'll be able exceed normal people."
"You don't have to worry. Although... Why did you give Aren a new appearance? He's just a puppet. He doesn't need a makeover.."
"Wally's order was to make sure for complete restoration and recreation with extra boost. Also.. Aren may be a puppet, but if he retains his original appearance, a small chance he will regain control of his body and reck our plans. If he can't recognize himself, he will just merely stay in silence and lower chances of regaining his body. Aren. I wonder if it'll surprise the sister and his lover with this kind of appearance."
"Who..?"
"No. Never mind. Elsa, your armor is over there with Aren's. Make sure you go to the highest interiors. You have to make sure Wally is safe from nonsense."
Elsa the clone nodded her head as she walked towards their armor. Aren followed as they put on their gear, leaving Echo's new chamber. Echo sighed and laid back against the chair. She stared at the screen before her. She began to type something on it and sent it to... Eve of Altera.
'Now then.. I better leave out some clues for them. Eve is an unpredictable person, but.. Surely she would choose the most convenient area for them to invade. In this case, it would be the southern, eastern, and the western area. What can I do to make sure they get in here safely..?'
Echo slowly walked off, leaving the glowing screen on. At that moment, Toma came into the chambers, looking into Echo's files. He sighed as soon as he found out Echo's true intentions. Wally abruptly appeared behind Toma as Toma backed off with a feeling of fear.
"So... She thinks she can help those brats in here by sending them the information she already has..? Heh. She'll learn.. Not to betray me."
A low chuckle echoed in the chambers as Toma began to fear for Echo's fate. Echo began to leave small micro-chips against the Electrifying Tongs and also set a bomb in the entrance.
'I hope.. This will be enough to help them.'
~Author's Note~
Yes, I'm done! :D Now... I don't have anything to say except.. Three day weekend, woot! :3 Now.. I'm sleepy. It's almost midnight.
Oh yes! I bought myself a new pet. That cute one that just came out. It's still a Life Crystal.. Since I've been doing those PvP Season 2 quests in Altera and the equipment level is too low for it to eat. And I'm not willing to feed any seeds until it's necessary.
Also.. I finally kept 1,000,000+ ED! :D An acheivement, since I always end up using it all up.

AsianAlex: XD Dang.. You must hate Elsword. Or was it Mario..? I remember Ruby mentioning that you/Mario torture Elsword because you hate him, the opposite of her. Wel, it's the truth~ :3 Good romance stories. Maybe I'll try to make it 50+ chapters. The story is.. Well, it's going to be ending after the outcome of Hamel VS Altera war which is already happening as we're talking and.. A happy ending.
Sweet Trickster: Well, I can't leave everyone hanging at this thin line, waiting for those thick-headed siblings to get over the conflicts. I need the information on Chung's dad. Oh well.. I shall call him the latin name I gave him. No worries, you're useful to me. XD

Yukiryuu Acchan: Elsword and Elsa are now acting like siblings. :) Aren.. He's going blind in Ruby's story. i don't think anybody's going blind yet. Well.. Actually, Aren might go blind with a certain attack from a certain somebody. Eh. XD I don't know anymore, even though it's my story. Oh.. So you have a crush on somebody? Well, is he someone worth your tears/happiness/excitement? If he is, the go for it! If he rejects you, cheer up and prove to him that you're one of a kind. ^o^ Fangirls are nothing! And.. I'm not interested in guys because most I've met in real life are complete jerks and.. They hate me. And I hate them. The feeling's mutual, so eh. :D Girls.. No interest in them because.. I'm not going lesbian anytime soon. That's in real life. In game or with people that I'm close to, guys/girls, I will act differently.
