Chapter 28

A reunion

Hope Bridge

Noon

Hope Bridge was a bridge that served as a wall to separate two parts of the city, mainly between the poor and the rich. The first bridge separates the poor and the rich while the second separates everyone from the Palace.

Elesis PoV

We were pushing the demons at the second bridge that was at the palace. Me along with Edan are leading the charge. Valak was sent to the other side to take care of any other demons sent after us.

We had to push to the palace. If there was a chance Berthe was here, then we need to get this over with. He was the reason for all this...

Fighting on the bridge was easy, however this place was no mans land as on the side was the other bridge and it made us easy targets if we weren't paying attention.

There was no way to reach them so we had no choice but to fight any that made it in our way. however.

When we made it to the first gate on the bridge, a large giant puppet demon with circus like attire landed in front of me and Edan It had a large torch.

It swung its torch at us and we jumped back. From the fire, came multiple smaller puppets identical to the larger one.

Edan pointed his blade at it. "Seems like it wont let us pass." He says and i sigh, more blocks to the palace i suppose.

The small puppets jumped at Edan first, at which he sliced all them in a horizontal swing. I charged it but it jumped away quickly. Tch, scared huh.

It swings its torch in the air and more small puppets fall from the fire in front of us. Edan walked ahead of me. "I will take this one on, you go ahead and get these troops to the front gates." He says bolding his blade straight.

"You sure?" I dont want to leave him to die, he was one of the only people i called a friend. "Dont forget who your talking to." He says with a smirk.

Its best to just keep moving for now. I nod to him and gather the troops. "Cmon! this way!" i say leading past Edan. The puppet tried to stop us but was tackled by Edan to lower part of the bridge. I hope you know what your doing Edan.

Edan's PoV

Now that Elesis and soldiers are gone, i can focus on this demon. I can't go full power yet, i need know everyone is out of sight.

I charged the puppet and swing at it. It dodged up with surprising amazing mobility and fired fireballs at me. I jumped away in time and more small puppets arise from the flames. These things are too weak, it can't take a hint can it.

They jumped at me and i swung my blade , killing them all instantly. The puppet began laughing and swung its torch insanely. I see an opening.

I charged with blinding speed and struck it right through. I ended up behind it and it fell down motionless. "That was unexpectedly easy." I didn't have use all my power and i could catch up with Elesis soon...What?

I turn to see a horde of smaller puppets come out the hole i made in the Larger one. They began to dance and run around in a frenzy. There was also 3 small puppets that looked similar to the larger one on standing near it. One of them glowed and began to decompose. What the-

On instinct i jumper up to avoid a hit form the large torch of the puppet. So it wasn't dead. I looker around and saw that it was now two puppets left. They had to have something to do with him. I looked up and saw a few soldiers still passing. Damn..

It swung its torch and small fire wisp formed from the flame trail it left. The wisp fired at me. Nothing i can't handle. I sliced them all in perfect cuts before they could hit me.

I ducked under in time to see the large puppet try and throw a jab at me. I thrust my blade into its arm and it reared back in pain. It flung its arm back to make me release my blade but i kept on, i wont go out that wasy demon.

I took out my blade and jumped off it. I look up once more. "No soldiers" I say to it. "Finally." I thrust my sword out and placed my palm on the edge of the blade.

"This mission is important see. I can't jeopardize it due to me wanting some fun so ill cut to the chase." This is a secret only Valak knows and i hope to tell Elesis of it as well. I close my eyes.

"Devour, Calax." I ran my sword across my palm, cutting and making the blood splash onto the blade. The blade began to glow red. The wind around us began to pick up around us violently. "Always the flashy one you were." I say.

I opened my eyes whuch were now in a deep red. My blade had a blood red aurora surrounded my blade. Everything was now a clear red to me. I could hear much better now. "Finally, i eat." I hear the voice in my head.

The puppet fired fire wisp in a frenzy the moment i lifted my foot, too late. Before it could even realise, i was already right in front of it. I l9oled at it before it saw me standing in front of it. "Your too slow." I say and swung my blade effortlessly.

The blade cut through the puppet's skin like butter. I then went right through him. "Time to eat." I say and cuts began to form on the puppets skins. Purple blood gushed everywhere on it and fell it down.

I turned to it and looked at one of the puppets go into it and the wounds on its body begins to heal. It gets up but now sports a frown. "Hmph, well im sure you still have a few more lives left." I point my sword at him. I haven't felt like this in a while.

Hope Bridge

3rd PoV

Elesis led the soldiers to the palace's entrance. The place was just how they left it, or had to have left it. Everything was intact spare, some few damages but nothing serious.

Elesis made it and saw the demons guarding it. Up in the higher platforms were cannons and in the distance archers. Elesis drew her sword along with the other knights.

Before either side could attack, a loud bird like sound is heard. Then a black bird in dark green scale armor landed in front of Elesis and the knights. On the back of the cockatrigle, was a glitter spearman who dons green and black armor with a large sword staff and spear on his back.

"HA! I knew we would met someday again you red rat." Elesis heard a familiar voice and stopped moving. She looked up and saw him. Berthe, was standing on a roof with his same devilish smirk.

Elesis looked at him with surprised but not for long as it turned into a glare of hatred. "You..." She said lowly. Berthe came down next to the armor clad glitter. "I had business here but now i have something else to do." He said and then turned his head. "This way, rat." He jumped over and Elesis followed withoit question.

"You guys defend this area, i have to take care of this first." She said. The armored glitter sheathed his sword staff and drew his spear. I, am Mcgard the Blitzkrieg, you shall not proceed any further human." He pointed his spear at them and the glitter behind him charged. The humans also began charged and sword clashing along wiyh grunts are heard.

With Elesis and Berthe

Commercial Area 1

Sun set

Velder's largest commercial area within its walls. It served a multi community complex but was now deserted and barren. It had also served as a direct passage to the to the Southern Gates.

Elesis and Berthe landed on some houses roofs. Elesis was still glaring at Berthe and Berthe was but smiling at the while predicament.

"Ha! so here as well, tell me, where is that other little pup that was with you." He said. Elesis didn't answer him and drew her sword from her back and lets its weight fall to the floor.

"I have been waiting for this. I trained so hard for this." She said slowly, her hair covering her eyes. She lifted her face up with eyes of pure hatred. "The day i can kill you." She picked up her sword and swung it releasing a blast of energy in an ark form.

Berthe jumped up, evading the blast with a smirk. Elesis then then jumped at him, breaking the roof under her as she charged at him, blade drawn. She thrust her sword at him but he dodged by hairs length.

He went for a jab at Elesis but she quickly ducked and swung at his arm. Berthe quickly retracted himself away from her and backed jumped to another roof. He closed his mouth and opened it again to release an ice blast.

Elesis turned her sword to the flat part to defend against the beam. Her sword began to freeze over and she sidestepped out of its path. She swung the ice from her blade and again charged at Berthe.

Berthe held his arms up, showing the metal plated armor gloves on his wrist to block Elesis's attack. He pushed her back and fired more ice blast from his mouth.

Elesis sliced down the blast and for the final blast she released a sword wave to cut the final blast. Berthe jumped out the way and the sword wave destroyed the house. Berthe landed on the ground and looked up to see Elesis coming down with her sword in front of her.

Berthe hook punched her blade away from him. She slid on the floor but then came back at him again. She and Berthe entered a battle of who can gain the advantage. Elesis's strikes were parried by Berthr and vice versa.

They ended in a clash of strength finally. Elesis rooted her feet into the ground making her almost immovable to Berthe's pure strength. He was going to go for a point blank blast but Elesis caught on quickly and slashed his mouth.

She jumper away before Berthe could swipe her with his claws out of pain. Elesis jumped onto a roof and up into the air and charged her sword with energy. She then pushed herself midair at him with her sword getting brighter.

She came down breaking the ground beneath her. "Extend! Blade of Victory!" She call forth and a large blade of light extend led from her sword overlapping with her real sword.

The blade extension caught Berthe off guard and cut off one of his horns. "RAAAAAAAAA!!!!!" He roared in pain, pushing Elesis back but she recovered quickly.

Berthe stuck his arms into the ground and lifted a large portion of the ground and threw at Elesis. Elesis stood there with a not so impressed look and thrust her blade at the rubbish, shattering it. Berthe snuck under the rocks and went for a sneak attack.

"Not so fast!" A voice came and Berthe was sent flying into a house. Elesis looked over and saw a blond haired boy in white armor. He had a large white cannon with a wolf head. She recognized this kid, he was the prince of Hamel, Chung Seiker.

Why was he here was the least of Elesis worries as Berthe jumped out from the collapsed house. He landed on a high roof top with a furious expression. His armor was broken and he had wounds and splinters on body along with breathing a bit hard.

He pulled out a red jeweled pendant. "I.Will.Not.Forget.This." His words dripped in venom. "Now! fall Velder!" He said and the jewel began to glow.

With Edan

Edan made it to the Palace Entrance and saw the battle taking place. Before he could, a large magic circle enveloped the place, shining purple and red. "What the..." He said as small flame fairies dropped from it in large numbers.

With Elesis

Elesis observed the large magic circle in the skies but decided not to pay mind to it. She looker at the battered up Berthe. "Burn!" A great flame came from behind him. Berthe then teleported in a purple glow and disappeared. The flame wave encased the whole area and set everything on fire.

Elesis looked around and then heard loud crashes and then saw fires everywhere even in the distance. She saw a pile of flaming rubbish about to land on her and was going to jump until Chung tackled her.

The rubbish crashed trapping them in the pile. Chung was on top of Elesis and began to blush. "S-s-Sorry i was-" He was kicked off by Elesis who had an stoic face on. She picked up her sword and slashed out the rubbish. "Are you alone." She asked the boy finally addressing him.

"No, i came here by my self." He said and got up with his cannon. "I would ask you questions but nows not the time." She said and began to look around for exits. "I see, but it is good to see you again, Miss Elesis." He says sincerely, but Elesis was in no mood for anything right now after meeting with Berthe after all this time.

"Yea sure."

Chung's PoV

Me and Elesis were making our way back to the bridge. It was night so we had to get out as fast as we could but. These fire fairies are getting in our way. They were nothing Miss Elesis could not have handled but they were pretty annoying

She didn't seem like she wanted to tall, just get to the objective which was the bridge. It was kinda awkward since she said nothing the whole time. Well i guess she needs to focus right now.

When we made it to the main roads, we felt rumbling. Miss Elesis grabbed me with one hand and threw me into a burning house. She got in to and gestured a "Shhhh" sound.

She looked out and i felt the ground rumbling. Then a large giant, tank rolled right by us. It was a black armored plated armor with yellow trims. Behind it, was a whole army of demons with high class armor and weapons.

I covered my mouth, to stay quiet and keep fresh air in my lungs. We can't stay in hear or we ill die before they kill us. Miss Elesis walks to the other side of the room and kicks the burning wall and gestured me to follow.

"Stay close, were heading for the Southern Gates to get out of here and make it back to the suburbs." She says and i nod.

We went through many houses and i swear i almost passed from the fumes of the fires and other materials burning. We made it out of the area and was going up a bridge. In the distance, i saw a bridge bridge like wall on fire. The demons just dont care do they...

We made it to the gate and saw more glitter guards by the gate. They wanted to make sure no one made it out huh. We sneaked passed them and got into the woods.

Velder Camp

Dawn

The way through the forest was a rough one. Even though Miss Elesis knew where to go, it still took us all night to get out of it and back camp. When we got there a few soldiers whispered amoung themself and ran off.

Where were then told to halt and looked around saw guards weapons drawn nervously. They made way and out came a woman in shining white armor with red trims came out along with Mister Edan and another man.

I knew this woman she was the princess of Velder and one of the most powerful mages in this continent. She was Noah, the Unrelenting Ice storm. She did not look happy at our sight and Mister Edan kept his head low nut his fist were clenched.

"Prince Seiker, i shall address you later." She walked over to Miss Elesis and looked down on her. "Do yoi, realize what you have done. You abandoned your position to fight alone and costed us everything." She said in calm yet furious manner.

Miss Elesis only stayed quiet and looked at the ground. "Elesis Sieghart, i personally sentence you to imprisonment for abandoning your post as captain and selfish acts against the Kingdom." What!

Elesis says nothing and mister Edan goes and takes her hand gently. I could tell he didn't want and i think i even heard him mouth 'Im sorry' to her. Princess then walked over to me with a calmer face.

Oh boy...

Spiraling Corridor

Morning

Aisha's PoV

It was now time we headed to the Under ground chapel. We took the other day off and since then Elsword has been usually quiet, like in deep thought. Must be about the loud explosion we heard last night. Lento said it was in Velder. Our camp was also moved closer into the Shrine for easier access.

We went down the entrance we had left prior before. When we got down it was felt way different then the rest of this place. The place was like a ruined library with scattered and torn books almost everywhere.

"What are to secure the path to the Spire, so we have to find a way to ascend from here." Lento says while Allegro looks at the map. "The fastest way is to pass through the Underground Garden." He says.

"How do we know demons haven't already took this and that place already through." Elsword said walking ahead with Lento and Rena. "Even if they did, we have no choice. I sense movement ahead." Eve said and her two drones new and improved drones came to her side.

I look ahead into the darkness and saw nothing but i know better than doubt Eve's scouts. Several purple wisp were fired at us and we all rolled out the way. Magic? they have magic as well?

A felt something hut my leg and jumped back. Blood was now running down my leg. A spearman came out the from above the bookcase behind me going for a spear thrust. Too bad, my spell casts are faster.

I held out my hand and a magic circle shield came to from my hand. The attack was block and i threw him down to the ground. It got up but Lento impaled it with its spear.

"Aisha, stay close to me." Elsword said getting next to me. He-Hey! i can fend for myself! oh whatever.

Underground Chapel

The Chapel held many magical tomes as well as a holy ground for ancient worshipers. It was also directly connected to the Underground Garden, which has not been used for centuries.

3rd PoV

The crew made it further down the Chapel, encountering more and more glitters as well as strange plants and glowing wisp, similar to the ones in the corridor. Rock golems were ask present here.

Elsword was taking any weapon he could take from them, although they would eventually break after a while or fighting with a golem.

They finally was met with a large gate and went through it. Behind the gate was a large blue room with strange plant growth everywhere. "Not as bad as Altera's spore but still nasty." Rena says looking around.

In side the large veins of the plants were large pods in them, twitching and moving. "What do you think is in there" Raven wondered. "More plants i guess." Elsword answered looking at them as well.

They then heard a loud and high pitch scream coming from behind them. They covered their ears and looked behind to see a strange plant standing on its roots.

Elsword threw his spear he picked up earlier at the plant to shut it up. "Jeez, what the...heck..." Aisha says looking up. Everyone else did and saw the giant blue green and red pods produce blue liquid and opened making something large come out of it.

The thing got up revealed to be a golem but very much different. It had moss and spores covering its body. Its arms had grown three time larger then normal and had a plant eater like face with tenticals sprouting out its back. It was now much larger than normal, towering over the crew as stood similar to a gorilla.

"What the." Elsword said as they backed away. "Should we take them out or retreat for now." Raven asked. "There just plants, fire should be effective." Aisha said and pointed her hand out. "Fire storm." A magic circle appeared from under the golem and burned it.

The smell was revolting and when the smoke cleared, the golem only had minr burns on its body. "What!" Aisha shouted and Elsword grabbed her and began running back.

The golems began to run after them on their arms. "Plans anyone?!" Lento shouted to them. "Survive." Eve said flying ahead of everyone. She stopped let everyone pass her and held out her hand. "Flash grenade." Moby and Remy shot out a beam of light at the roof making rocks fall to block the golems from reaching them.

The went back to the gate where they came from and closed it behind them. They were now back in the library and sat down to gather breath. "Why do...plants...mutate...everything.." Elsword said with Aisha in his lap and his back and head against the wall.

"And there was seven of them. We need to find a way past them." Raven said leaning on the wall. "Eve, think you scan them if we manage to take a sample?" Elsword asked. "I believe so, the plant itself is enough." She said and he nodded. Aisha got off him to get up.

"Me and Raven will go back to take a piece of the plant. Rena, Aisha and Eve will stay at the gate and provide us backup." Everyone nodded but Allegro timidly raised his hand. "What about us?" He asked and Eve turned to him tutoring her head

"What about you?"

Raven's PoV

Me and Elsword was walking back to the same area. Eve sealed the first path we went through. We were now at the edge of near a cliff. "How far does this place even go." I amuse aloud. Elsword shrugged his arms.

We saw one the same plants and low and behold more golem pods. There was more of these things. Great.

We found a vein and i tried to cut it a piece but it was surprisingly tough. "Let me try." Elsword punched the vein, battering it and bruising it. It looked easier to cut but was still tough.

Maybe i should stab it and Eve could take the sample of the blue liquid it produces as a sample. "Well just do this." I stabbed it and it began to move but that's not the only thing that moved. The whole place began to move and a roar was heard below.

The shaking was pretty strong and threw me and Elsword to the ground. "Guys!" Rena shouted. "Come on!" we were about to go over to her but then...

A large blueish green tenticals came from the trench and swung around. We began to run but it smashed its tentical on Elsword back. It smashed him to the ground which also broke the ground we were on. No!!!!

Rena's PoV

"ELSWORD!!!!!" I screamed. No not again! i try to go over but Lento held me back. The place began to collapse and the place was soon covered by rocks. No!!!

Aisha was banging her hands in the rocks. Eve was wide eyed and surprised.

"We did not predict this." Lento said. He began to talk more but i zoned him out. It all happened so fast, i couldn't do anything... Again, Elsword is separated from us.

"Why does this happen." Aisha fell to her knees. "We should head back fo-" I turn to them. "You head back!!" I screamed at them. Lento turned around and took Allegro with him. "We will. Come when you are in the right mind." He walks off.

"Rena." Eve said placing her hand on my shoulder. "Raven and Els." Aisha went over to us. "Do not worry" Eve said walking over to enclosed entrance. "You told me Elsword is hard to kill no?" Yea but this time he might actually have died.

"He told me he once took on many wounds while fighting an enemy and was flung into the air into a desert and still survived." She says. "If he can survive that, he can surely survive this." She looked back us.

"Have some faith in them."

Elsewhere

Velder's Hallucination

A area of Velder of where The Sullen Hysterical Joaquin, made as his own area. The place used to be a large residential area and had houses and a town square.

3rd PoV

Berthe was no longer wearing his armor. He was sitting on a desk with his large arm out while Joaquin was injecting him with a rer and purple gas colored fluid in a syringe.

As the liquid went in, Berthe grew blue veins around his body, covering him head to toe. He gritted his teeth as liquid entered his body "Have you found where the water wisps to be?" Joaquin asked as he got up and went over to his desk.

"Hamel, sadly. I will in a few days. I need to lay for awhile. Also that damn red hair rat injured me too much to fight another battle." He said as the veins died down.

"Well as long as you don't screw up. Then all should be well. You get you want. I get what i want." Joaquin goes over and pull up a map of Velder and laughs.

Berthe looks over to side and goes into thought.

"I will become king. I will rule. And soon i will have the power."
