~Chapter 57: Bits And Pieces~

Elsword rushed over to Aisha and slashed a metallic arm off in fury. His blazing eyes grew worried as his hand caressed Aisha's cheek. Aisha's eyes were closed while her heartbeat was faint. He pressed his head down, trying to make sure the faint heartbeat didn't stop, however... In his mind, the heartbeat stopped.

'Aisha... Is dead...?'

Aisha's bright smile came into Elsword's mind before a sudden cold wind rush by him. Elsword's mind began to fell into a void of darkness. While in reality, Chung continuously blocked attacks from Wally for Elsword.

"Elsword! This is no time to be spacing out!"

Wally's core began to glow a faint yellow light as Eve immediately concentrated on her fingers, creating a large force field with glowing electron wings on her back and a special gear behind her.

"Giga Stream!"

"Karma!"

With her voice echoing throughout the room, small, yet powerful beams were fired along with condensed energy of the stars aid in doing critical damage. Rena swiftly kicked her leg upward with as much force as she can. Wally was knocked back on his feet and was caught off guard as Rena proceeds on calling forth the powerful gusts of the wind rising from magic circles.

"Carpet Bombing!"

Without any sense of hesitation, Chung raises his Destroyer up into the air, firing off a signal flare that went through the metal roof before calling forth two waves of powerful airstrikes. Wally's core began to glow deep red before flashing the red light continuously.

"Wally is... Malfunctioning?"

In response to those words, yellow flares came down from the ceiling, from his cannons. Chung's eyes widened as the distance between them was far too great for him to activate 'Wonder Wall' and reduce the damage. Eve waved her arms around before releasing an aura around her and Rena. A faint blue light shone and an image of a shield appeared.

"Wonder Wall."

Chung silently cursed before hoping for Eve and the others' safety. The faint blue light surrounded him and Elsword before the flares reached them. Ara managed to stay on high grounds, avoiding the damage completely. As soon as the coast was clear, Ara pressed on her heels before slamming down her spear into Wally's metallic head. The shadows gathered beneath her feet as it did high damage against Wally.

Wally shook Ara off him as he proceeds to flatten her. Ara impaled her spear into the ground before pushing herself away from the flattening. Eve and Rena immediately took the chance to finish Wally off.

"Giga Stream!"

"Aero Tornado!"

A large field was formed and small, yet powerful beams were fired. They did wondrous damage in addition to Rena's continuous spinning sphere of wind. Wally fell to the ground as his eyes began to lose its previous glow, but... He was not finished. In a fit of rage, Wally violently spun and slammed the girls against the girl, sending them across the room with yellow flares burning through their delicate skin. Chung was about to end it all with homing missiles filled with rage, but a certain red head and violet head beat him to it.

Aisha could feel her ribs poking against her flesh while Elsword was helping Aisha stand as she leans against him for support. Elsword stared at Aisha with relieved eyes before both concentrated on attacking with all their power.

'This is my chance to finish off Wally... Something I wasn't able to do, but now I can... Without Elsword and the others' help.. I don't think.. I would have reached this far. If I attack with all force, there's no doubt that.. I won't wake up for a while, but... It's better than death. Elsa, I'll take care of Elsword soon...'

"Blaze Step! Gust Storm!"

"Triple Geyser!"

Aisha tapped her feet against the ground and waved her staff. Flames spurt from her feet. Aisha muttered words under her breath as she elegantly spun before slamming her staff into the ground. There was a strong gust of hot air before elegant, yet dangerous flames surrounded her and continuously damaged Wally. In addition to Aisha's deadly flames, Elsword' blazing blade was stabbed into the ground as the ground below them shook violently. Three flaming geysers erupt from the ground.

"Carpet Bombing..."

Chung just had to add in more damage with deadly waves of airstrikes. There was a loud sound before Wally collapse. Aisha breathed heavily as her eyes began to blur once again and this time, her eyes will remain closed for a while.

"Aisha!"

Elsword's voice echo throughout the airship as Raven looked up from his position with worried eyes. Aren's eyes opened slowly before turning his head over to Elsa's cold body. Despite the aching, his arms reached for Elsa's waist before hugging her tightly.

'Elsa... You're cold... I'll warm you up somehow, that's why... Wake up soon. I don't... Want to be alone without you. And... You still haven't gave me your answer.. At least, give me your usual reactions when I'm hugging or kissing you...'

Elsa stared at her best friend in shock as his lips was pressed on top of hers. Aren soon released her lips as he shyly smiled at her. Aren caressed Elsa's cheeks with his shy smile widening slightly.

Echo who was hiding in the bushy leaves of a tree, smiled widely as she knew what's behind Elsa and Aren's best friend relationship. Elsa snapped out of her shock and slammed her fist against Aren's skull. She pouted slightly as she faintly blushed while looking away.

"Elsa. You're so cute."

"Shut up."

"I love you too."

A tear flowed down from the corners of his eyes. The tear fell on Elsa's own eyes as Aren eventually slipped back into darkness with Elsa beside him. Raven stared at Aren with sad eyes before seeing a faint trace of a certain red head who was watching Aren sleep with a gentle smile.

"El-"

Elsa put a finger against her lips, indicating for Raven to be quiet. Raven nodded his head silently while Elsa brushed away stray bangs from his face. She then proceeds to punch Aren on the head softly before looking towards the sky with distant eyes.

"Hamel is in sight..."

Raven looked out from the edges and his eyes widened. The airship was right above Hamel and... It was slowly falling and the fact that the airship was actually a bomb itself.

'Were we... Too late?!'
