Chapter 20
What's your meaning?
Transporting Tunnel
Eve's PoV
When i woke up i found i was with the person i was fighting with. He seemed to not want to fight anymore since he didn't attack me after i attacked him so we decided to team up and find a way out of here.
"So..why do you want Q-Proto" He asked after some time of silence. I dont answer him and kept walking. "So not gonna answer me huh." He said getting closer to me. He finally stopped trying to talk to me and we walked in silence.
After sometime i sighed. I feel abit bad to just leave him...he is helping me escape but he has Q-Proto. This is too complicated... I stopped and he bumped into me "Q-Proto-00 is needed for the revival of the nasods" I said and walked yet again.
"She has that much importance?" He asked and i looked back him. "Q-Proto-00 is a nasod not a human. She not restricted to gender." I say turning fully to him and he stops in front of me.
"So because of her race that doesn't mean she isnt living right now?" He asked. I...i cannot comprehend...what does he mean...living?
I wanted to know more. "What is living" I asked him. He got closer to my face, now looking me in my eyes. "That's a question a person must find their self. Now cmon, we got some visitors" I turn my head away from his gaze and saw several nasods and took out their weapons
"I am their Queen, they will obey." I held my hand out. "Do not attack" What is this? One of the large guards came at me with a electric sword. Before it could come down Elsword came and grabbed me. "Looks like they dont obey the Queen, outsiders of some kind?" It seems that way...
"Spectra sphere" I fired a multiple balls of energy at the nasods. Disobedience shall be punished. When they were destroyed a green smoke came off their bodies and small green tentacles began to crawl around their bodies.
"Is that normal...". I shake my head no. "This should not even be a function. How did it become like this..." Elsword began walking further in and we began to see small green spores around orange flowers.
"Woah..." We reached a dead end that lead further down. "What shall we do?" I was still being carried by him in his arms. It felt...relaxing..
"I guess this is the only way. Back there was another dead end and where we started from." He said looking down. I couldn't scan the bottom or even detect a thing. I looked at Elsword and he looked at me and sighed.
We have no choice. I held on to Elsword's neck and he jumped down. I have no data of this location so anything could happen.
Different Section
With Aisha and Rena
Aisha's PoV
I swear...we are walking in circles. I swear i saw that same rock i kicked to the side.
"Rena can't you use nature force to search for the exit?" I asked her and she shake her head. "I can but it seems like the nature around here is...giving misdirection, and i really wanna want to get out of here." She said hugging herself.
There are some kind of spores trying to attach themselves to us everywhere we went and starting to make our clothes greenish. Rena puts her hand to the ground and closed her eyes. "I can sense Elsword and Raven. I can't sense Q-Proto and Eve but that's probably because they are nasods.". Makes sense but how far down are we?
We were walking for sometime until we found some green and red spore infested nasod. They turned to us and began charging towards us. "Ice sphere!" I fired several ice blast at them taking a few out but some still kept going regardless of the damage the received.
"Storm front!" Rena fired a wind arrow that caused a a rapid storm of wind to break through the nasods coming at us. "Cmon!" She ran through the path she created and i followed.
As we ran, we kept finding more and more nasods everywhere with the spores. "Woah..." We stopped at a dead end fall. We looked back and saw nasod bees, drillers, and larger ones coming at us.
Rena looked at me and grabbed my hand. No no no no no no no please Rena N-
Why did we have to jump...
With Raven and Q-Proto
Raven's PoV
Me and Q-proto were fighting through the spore infested nasods that seemingly c9me from nowhere. Q-proto says she has no data on them so we have no idea where or how they came here. All we can do is fight our way until we fina an exit.
I must say though, Q-Proto is quite the learner. She is combining Elsword's style with mines and its making her deadly along with her long ranged attacks. As ling as she doesn't use any big attacks i know she has then we're ok...
"Can you can scan the area" I asked after we were done with group of nasods. Her eyes glowed and she looked at me. "I, cannot. There is some kind of interference." Must be the spores. These spores are sticking to me but it seems like Q-proto is staying as far as she can from them.
"So, you been with Elsword and the others for awhile. What are they like" I try to get some information on them. There powers, a magician, an archer, and swordsman. Seems like a simple set up but i feel them to be...unique.
"I, cannot give a full analysis of those humans but..." She pauses for a moment before continuing. "They, are good people and will accomplish great things" She said and kept walking. "I see." was all i could say before following her again.
We were walking until we fell down a very steep hill. The fall was long but we landed safely well more i than 'we' since Q-proto flew down to avoid it. I got up and say that we were staring to see some machinery around still operating.
We began waking again and on our way we say nasods laying around just about everywhere. "They are in a sleeping state. Attacking them will result in their wake. Proceed with caution." Q-Proto said walking ahead of me.
These nasods had no spores on them which was strange since the ones above us had them all over.
While walking we heard a sound. We looked around looking for it but saw nothing. Then suddenly Q-proto yelped was squashed by something that fell and it made a dust cloud. What the hell... did she...scream?
When it cleared up i saw Aisha and Rena piled up on Q-Proto. Where did they even come from. They got up rubbing their heads. "Rena say something before you decided my death. I like to know when im gonna die please and thank you." Aisha said helping Q-proto up.
"Have you, located Elsword." Q-proto said when she got back up ignoring the fact she was surprised and screamed. "Hey! what about us" Rena said crossing her arms. Q-proto looked up at her and stared.
"Is there, something amiss?" She asked finally. Rena sighed and held up a finger. "You gotta ask if we were ok before anything else. Irs proper etiquette" She said and looked at Q-proto again. "Now lets try that again." She said smiling.
"I must apologize for my ignorance. Rena, Aisha, have you sustained any injuries." She asked finally. I dont think we have time for this. "Why we are ok but thank you" Rena said cheery and smiling.
"Lets go now. I dont wanna stay here any longer so lets go find Elsword" Aisha began walking along with Q-proto.
Rena looked at me alittle nervous before asking me how was i. " Im fine. Lets go" I said simply and we began walking. Rena caught up with the others up front and began talking with Q-proto. Seems they want to befriend it or something.
With Elsword and Eve
Elsword's PoV
Me and Eve finally made it down, on top of some kind of vent. Since i was carry Eve she was ok, but my back was killing me. I might ask Aisha for a massage later when we meet up.
"Are you alright.." Eve said sitting on my stomach. "Ill live...lets get going." I picked her back up and began to get off the vent until it hit me. "Why am i still carrying you?" I asked and she looked at me. "I can request the same to you" Ok then...
I put her down and began walking again until we were attacked by some bats. "Energy needles" Eve fired the blast from her nasods and killed the bats instantly and kept going.
We then arrived to a ruined iron door that was rusting over. I attempted to slash the door open but the door was still tough, well in that case. I slashed the door again and turned on the chainsaw function on the sword.
It went through and i kicked the door open. In front of is was a narrow hall that had red, green and yellow vines in. "Eve stay close, those things seem to only effect nasods.". She stared at me and i looked back at her. What does she want now?
"Why do you concern over me. I attacked you. We should be at war. " Her eyes seemed to be zoned in on me. I then look back at her. "I still want to hear your side if why you attacked us. Until then ill take responsibility for you" I say taking off my shirt and draped it over her.
"The spores will come on the clothes but wont get to you." I say and got down. "Cmon on." i said and she stared at me for awhile and then got on my back and i began walking.
Her small nasods stayed from with my shirt that was over Eve and were ready to fire at anything that moved. We made it out the tunnel and saw we were in a new room. At the center of the room though, was a large nasod scorpion that seemed to be resting at the center. Which was also the gateway...
"We need to get past that thing but.." I can't fight back while im like this. There was some kind of green mist around us and i can't risk Eve right now or she might get infected.
"Eve. Got any plans?" I asked her and she stirred abit on my back. "Stealth is not an option due to the other nasods laying about the vicinity." She said in mumbles. How to get past here. I looked around until i saw a high platform that was out of the green mist.
I could put her there and fight them and when im done i could go retrieve her. I jumped up to the platform and placed Eve down. I wrapped my coat around her more and then stood up but i was stopped.
I looked back to see Eve's hand clinging to my white undershirt. "What are you planning." I turned back to her and placed both ny hands on her shoulders and looked her in the eyes. "Ima gonna go and try to take them out, when they are all distracted, you will fly through the door and get out." I told her but she didn't seem to sit well with the plan.
"Negative, i am the Queen this is my responsibility to take care of this matter as well." She began to get up but i stopped her and sat her back down slowly.
"Dont worry about me. I have my friends to find in her as well so i have to stay in here anyway." She was still abit hesitant but finally sat down. "Keep my sword with you for now. Might come in handy plus i can't really work with this one."
I jumped down from the platform and faced the nasod scorpion. It woke up along with the other ones and they began to look at me and crowd. They showed their weapons and looked very much battle ready.
I breathed out and went into my battle position. "Ok...lets go."
3rd PoV
Elsword charged into the crowd of infested nasods and broke though their front lines. The nasod scorpion jumpee back and fired light orbs at him at which he dodged. He turned back and kicked one Nasod and it broke instantly.
'Pretty frail' He thought and then ducked under to avoid a blade thrust. He rose up and punched the blade arm of one in two and grabbed the nasod and threw it at others coming toward him.
He jumped to evade two electric blast aimed for him. The blast went past each other to to the attacks destroying them. "Searing maelstrom!" Elsword shot a large flame at the floor that created a small storm burning all that got caught in it.
He was then knocked while airborne into a wall by the nasod scorpion. It then fired more energy beams but Elsword recovered in time to get out the way. Elsword rolled out a sword strike from one nasod who attempted a surprise attack in him. 'I need this' He thought tearing off the blade off the nasod.
He charged into the crowd again slashing his way through to the nasod scorpion. The nasods began firing projectiles at him, but he parried them only taking a few in his arms and legs. He jumped up and fired multiple fire balls at the nasods creating a dust cloud.
He came down and began taking out the nasods while in the dust cloud. He then began searching for the scorpion through the dust and found it charging a blast. ''Won't let you-!' Elsword was slashed in his chest by a nasod that came from his side.
He jumped back and narrowly dodged a electric rod that was swung at him. 'I can't keep up!' He then kicked another nasod blader and was backed to a corner.
When he looked up he saw the scorpion fire its charged shot at him. He side stepped but the blast caused a shockwave that knocked him to his knees. "You need backup.." Eve said coming down next to Elsword.
"Heh, i thought you left. You had chances ya know" Elsword said breathing a bit hard. "shut up" Eve simply said and fired blast at the nasods. She materialized a thin black spike in front of Elsword. "Will this suit your needs" She asked and Elsword smiled. "Heh just what i need really." He broke off the spike and looked at it with a grin.
Elsword got off his knee and went over to Eve and took her hand that she held out to attack. "You take the big one ill keep the small ones off your back." Eve stared at him for while before nodding. Eve then flew into the air and went straight for the nasod scorpion.
The smaller one tried to intervene but was stopped by Elsword who was burning them with his fire. Eve landed in front of the scorpion and fired blast at it. It began to invade them and then counter them with its own. It then charged Eve and attempted a stab with its needle, but it was parried by Elsword.
Moby and Remy went under Elsword arms and fired fired dual laser at the scorpions and it managed to pierce its body. The scorpion began to squirm but still had fight left in it.
It jumped into the air and fired multiple orb blast at Elsword, but Moby and Remy created a barrier around him to protect him. When the blasts were done Elsword charged the scorpion the moment it descended.
The scorpion parried Elsword's first strike but not the second one. Elsword cut the tail needle clean off and then sliced its head. The scorpion attempted to rear back but Elsword thrust the spike into it stomach and began to slice it open. It fell down motionless. It then began to glow and exploded.
The explosion then started a fire inside the cave and small embers quickly turned into wild fires. The spores began making a strange sound similar to a dying animal.
Elsword looked over to Eve and saw she was having abit of trouble. He went over to her and she grabbed his hands and flew up into the air. She flew through the hall that was once guarded by the scorpion and they managed an escape.
When they reached the end of the hallway however, they were met with a large turret tower with a large spore inside it that was slowly being burned by the fires that somehow spread to it.
"Eve we gotta go up, or its gonna kill us both" Elsword said hanging. Eve commanded Moby and Remy to fire lasers at the ceiling for an exit.
Elsewhere
With Raven and the Others
Raven was the first to smell the scent of something burning and alerted everyone. "Whaaa" Aisha said exhausted. "There seems to be a fire in the inner parts of this cavern." Q-Proto says to the gang. "How are we gonna get out?" Raven says a bit panicked.
The smell of burning plants began to fill the air followed by the weird sounds the plants made as they burned. Soon a wall exploded in flames near the group.
Q-proto looked up and created a black spike drill. "We make our own exit." She said and flew up and began to drill through the ceiling. "What about Els?" Rena said worried. "He shall survive. He is most likely with the Queen so his chances are high already" She said and continued drilling.
After sh gbe made the hole, she created thin black spikes to make the others climb up on.
Return Plains
Morning
With Eve and Elsword
Elsword and Eve emerged from ground and then was shot up by the explosion from underground.
When they came to, they found themselves in the middle of a field with some buildings in the distance. "We are in the return planes." Eve said getting up and walking over to Elsword. "Ah...ok..." Elsword slowly got up and looked around.
"Eve if your supppst to be the queen why didn't those other nasods obey you?" Elsword asked holding his chest wound. "I do not know. Sometime i do not believe i have any control over them at all." Eve said looking down. "What makes you say that?" Elsword was now more interested in Eve. "Well-" Eve was cut off by a stange sound.
Elsword then heard the sounds of small steps. He looked around and found he was surrounded by small nasod scorpions with mouses, bees and even mice. "Your race is too versatile, Eve." Elsword said leaning on Eve's back. Eve looked back at him with a plain stare.
"Oh...so here you are." A voice came from above and they looked up to see a person they knew. "You" Elsword said narrowing his eyes. Add looked at Elsword with disgust. "Your still alive. Well i don't care. I want you Eve" Add landed to the ground with his dynamos pointed at Eve.
Elsword stepped in front Eve and glared at Add. "Yea, no. She's with me" Add laughed before getting into a attacking stance. "Your wounded boy but if you really wanna die then be my guest." Add then flew straight for Elsword.
Elsword shoved Eve to the side and blocked a electric powered punch from Add. Add then went for an axle kick but Elsword leaned back to evade it and kicked him away.
Elsword jumped back and clasped his hands. "Searing maelstrom" He shot a firestorm at Add who dodged out the way when it was close. When he was in the air he saw Elsword in the air as well waiting on him. "hmph" Elsword smirked and kicked Add back down to the ground.
Add recovered and held out his hand "Pulse Cannon" Several beams fired from Add's dynamos at Elsword. Elsword dodged a few but one went through his arm but didn't faze him by much due to his sword trainings with his sister.
Add then flew up and charged energy in his feet. "Quake buster" He shot out a blast that his the ground and was going for Elsword. Elsword rolled to the side but was caught off guard by Add's flying punch that sent him flying
Elsword crashed into a wall but still rose back up. He wiped some blood from his mouth. He then saw the nasods began to fire at him at which he jumped on to the top of the building. Add was also under fire by the nasods as well and flew higher to evade.
"Forgot about those" Add said in annoyance. He then dove down charging his body with purple energy. "Stasis field!" A large pulse of energy discharged off Add's body destroying the nasods instantly and blew back Elsword.
Eve went over to Elsword to help him up. When she looked up her neck was grabbed by Add and was in the air. "I suggest you worry for yourself" Add said with a grin. Eve was struggling to get out of his grasp was freed when a arrow struck Add's arm dropping her immediately.
"Gahhh!!!!!" Add held his hand and took out the arrow which hurt more than getting hit by it. Eve took the chance to take Elsword with her fly away. She saw saw the others who she fought with the last time.
She flew down to them and placed Elsword on the ground with them. "Els!" Aisha aid and ran over to him. The others looked at Add and got into a defensive position. "Tch, nothing but hindrances" He said and flew into the air and zipped away.
"You what happened." Raven asked Eve. "We were fighting the nasods that was in the cavern underground. "So explain yourself, why did you attack us" Raven said with a hand on his blade. "We have no time for that, we need to get Elsword back first." Rena said with Aisha nodding.
"Your coming with us though." Rena said pointing to Eve and she nodded which surprised everyone. "I want to communicate with Elsword some more." She said simply and walked over to them.
"Uh...ok then" Aisha said and they made their way back to the Pongo village.
Pongo Village
Night Fall
When the crew got back the went straight to Adel's house to give Elsword treatment. When Elsword was safe, they decided it was time to talk to Eve who was just as quiet as Q-Proto. They all sat down in the living room with some tea.
"So, why did you attack us" Rena asked looking over to Eve. "I needed to retrieve Q-proto-00 for my mission." She said simply. "Why is she involved." Aisha asked next to Eve. "She is essential as well as me and my sister to the revival of our race." Eve said taking some tea and took a sip.
"Your race seems fine to me. Your race is everywhere on this island." Raven said crossing his arms. "Those are nasods who have devolved from their orginal forms. They are primal and it is shameful to see them that way to us." Aisha then joined in. "So this plan of yours. How does it work exactly?" She asked.
Eve did not answer since she did not know her self. "I am unaware. This was a solution presented to us by our king. I do not have details." She sipped on her tea some more. "So what if it doesn't work and you end losing your self." Raven said bluntly.
Eve then looked down. Was it true? was the fate of their race was the only thing on the king's mind? She felt that something else was going on but she couldn't put her finger on it.
"I wish...to not speak anymore if you would please." She set her tea cup down. "No we're not done ye-" Raven then received glares from Aisha and Rena. "Take your time" Raven walked out the room. "Sorry about that Eve" Rena apologized to her.
"Anything you wanna ask us Eve? we did just question you without any consent to your opinion." Aisha asked playing with Q-proto's hair, to which Q-proto didn't mind not one bit.
Eve looked up to Aisha and Rena. "Then please tell me." Rena and Aisha raised a brow. "What is like to be living."
Elsewhere
Altera Core
King Prime was still searching for Eve for hours but no luck. Its almost as if she went off radar since even if Eve was to be somehow lost he had connections to whole island so finding her would be trivial.
But in this case she was nowhere up until now. He found that she was with a group of humans thay seemed to be heading in a different location. "Hmm" Prime placed a hand on his chin. "If i must hypothesize, they are heading for that settlement created by those animals." King prime thought mused.
He then pulled up a monitor and contacted a certain someone. When the screen lit up it showed a nasod with a black and red mask on and thin yellow lights glowing on it.
"Crow..." Prime said before continuing. "I need you to do something" King prime said and the nasod Crow nodded.
An
Sorry this took awhile to come out with.
Was trying to decide how to go about this chapter and wanted to make it bit longer than usual.
Also everyone might be job switching soon and here's the reminder for everyone as of right now.
Elsword- actually still a base but a bit taller with hair that reaches his neck.
Rena- still base.
Aisha- still base.
Add- psychic tracer
Raven- Weapon taker
Eve- code electra with other job class skills only limited to first jobs.
Also if i make it seem like Add is just some villain who just get beat and runs off i apologize. I want to make all the characters build some kind if fighting experience instead of getting power and knowing how to do things without any battle experience.
Peace
