Me: Welcome back to the story, my readers! This chapte-
Elsword: Shark.
Me: What?
Elsword: In chapter 2 you said we would meet Lunarium's OC, but I saw nobody new in Chapter 3.
Me: Oh yeeeaaa. About that, I will wait for other OC's, because I still need to think of a way to introduce them, sorry Lunarium Prince. 3:
Elsword: =w=
Me: ANYWAYS, This chapter... Eh, can't find a way to summarize it atm, so just read for yourself.. And, when will I make Xen stop ranting on about kicking Lunarium's OC's ass? I'm sorry for that man, promise I'll take care of your OC when he appears, promise. X3
Xen's POV
"...What?! Raven, you don't have any lightnin' rods?!" I say, irritated at the half-nasod.
"Like I said. The Black Crow is low on supplies, so we don't have much metal or anything." He replies bluntly.
"Agh, Crap!" I kicked a chunk of dirt in the ground out of it and threw a piece of Hellfire at it. "I thought that I could've pulled a new trick off using my lightning to override the guy's scorp and take it as my chance to kick his ass!"
"Xen, seriously, how much longer do you plan on ranting on about kicking his ass?"
"No idea."
I was about to say something until Elsword told us some news, "Guys, news from Eve. She took a quick scan on the Plains and no different scorpion has caught her sensors. We came here for nothin'."
"Oh, ok..."
So, we came for a lost cause. There goes a week worth of saving some of Velder, and it seemed that Elsword caught onto my thoughts. "Oh, c'mon, Xen, we can still beat up some demons and help Velder any way we can!"
"Yea, guess you're right. Let's head back to Velder."
We board the Crow airship that Ravens commands, because apparently the ride we used to get to Altera mysteriously disappeared, and according to Aisha, she said, and I quote, "I guess our ride just disappeared into thin air, just like what happens to Elsword's chances of getting a girlfriend!"
When landed back at Velder after another week and everyone got off the airship, the ship flew away back to Altera. I looked at Velder when we landed and it was total chaos. I guess two weeks are worth the same amount of time worth of Velder going right into hell.
Elesis' POV
So, I guess I should've stayed in Velder to help protect it for a bit while the others checked out the Altera problem. (But I can tell Xen feels the opposite; He was still hyped to kick No's ass, speaking of which, why does he keep on ranting on about that? It's like a thing he does 24/7, which I see him do whenever he goes out on his 'walks'.) When we arrived back in Velder, it was like hell broke loose.
"Oh shoot, Velder's got more demons in it than ever, now! We need to get the citizens of Velder through Southern Gate!" I exclaim. Before I knew it, we were throwing demons to the ground. "Nuclear!", "Violent Attack!", "Sword Fire!" I could hear Raven, Rena, and Elsword throwing all they got at the demons, and the rest weren't too far behind. It felt like it took months or years to clear out many of the, for a path to the Southern Gate. Sooner or later, Xen ran up to me and said "Yo, Elesis, I ran to Southern Gate to see if it was safe for citizens, and it was littered with Demons! I cleared 'em out before hand, but I got a feeling something's up there I can't handle alone."
"Oh, I think I may have an idea who or what it is." I say with an idea in mind.
"'Think'? Well we need to get the others to help send that thing flyin' if you know what is is."
I nodded and looked around to see Velder Knights and the Red(?) Knights, whom Penensio is leading, helping fight the demons. I yell out for everyone else, "Guys, we need to head to Southern Gate! Xen feels that it has some big baddy up there! We need to go there. I'm sure the Velder and Red Knights can handle this on their own!" Everyone nods and jumps from their spots and to us.
"Ugh, demons, get outta our way!" Xen yells, frustrated. "Xen, leave the path to me, I got this." Chung said calmly, with a slightly mischevious grin spread on his face. He pressed a few buttons under a plate, on a panel on his Destroyer and held one down and whispered to it to himself. White, small bombshells fly from the sky, hitting several demons, blowing them up, but enough to clear a path for us. "Just testin' out Carpet Bombing." He smiled and ran towards the cleared up path for us. "I really thought the bombs would be bigger, because those ones were pretty small.." Xen commented as we dashed until we got to the top of the walls on Southern Gate.
We looked around and saw a wall of rubble blocking our path behind us, and more rubble fell and blocked the path we used to get here. "Crap, they knew I'd bring you guys all here!" Xen exclaimed as Chloe was visible from ontop of the rubble behind us and laughed. We turned to her. "Yes, now I can sacrifice you 9 for the Dark Nephillim! Get ready, El Search Party, as this will be your doom!" Chloe yells down at us while she raised up her hand, and she backflips off the rubble, which the Dark Nephillim bursts out from under, roaring a great roar. "Run, now!" I yell while the whole gang runs along the walltop. Elsword planted some runes while running but they didn't seem to do anything.
We had to keep avoiding every attack it throws at us, from slaming claws to laserbeams to purple crystals flying from the sky.
We continously ran until we hit a dead-end and we turned to see the Nephillim roaring louder than last time, as some of us covered their ears. "Alright guys, we gotta fight back!" Xen exclaimed while throwing several spheres of Hellfire and shooting arcs of lightning at the Nephillim. Chung was throwing grenades and shooting tons of blue and red rockets. Raven was running up to it, slamming it in it's face, jumped back, and repeated. Rena shot arrows towards it. Everyone was doing their best to take it down, but nobody had too much luck, besides Ara, who managed to knock the enormous beast out of balance with a few claw n' spear slashes, making it wobble and seemed to give Xen an opprotunity to attack.
"There's my chance! I'm gonna take this thing down!" Xen yelled, passion burning in his eyes, as he ran to the side of the Nephillim, and ran around it fast and his body was completely coated in flames and electricity. "What's he doing?! Trying to make a hurricane from ember and sparks?!" Chung exclaimed. "No, is it not obvious? He is using friction, heat, and momentum to blast a hole through the entity, 'Dark Nephillim' approximatly 1000x1800 as of size." Eve replied, like it was a math question, as easy as 1 + 1. Xen then stopped abruptly when he got onto the side of the Nephillim. "Assault Blitz!" Xen yelled as he charged at the Nephillim with so much force, there was an earpiercing BOOM!, and smoke was surrounding the beast and Xen, the rest of us are blown back. When the smoke cleared up, we had won. Xen ended up on the opposite side that he was on, and there was a hole in the side of the Nephillim (God, I'm using 'the Nephillim' way too much.) And it collapsed on it's side, the inside of the hole on it having shocks of electricity going between each wall of the hole, which also burned.
"YEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHH! EAT MY FLAMES, CHLOE, THAT WAS MY WEAKEST ATTACK AND I ALREADY TOOK DOWN YOUR PATRON GOD! GIVE ME A CHALLENGE, ALREADY!" Xen roared into the night sky as the rest of the Elgang cheered, except for one specific Nasod Queen, who wasn't even there. Elsword seemed to have noticed this, as he looked around for her. "Uh, hey guys... Where's Eve..?" He asks questioningly.
"If I were to guess, she may have gone to that strange lab in Velder as soon as the smoke appeared. She had a wierd feeling about it and told me she might check it out." Chung guessed. We stood around and looked in eachother's eyes and nodded, as we had an idea of what it could be about. We all scaled down the large wall and quickly ran to the lab in Velder to save our Nasod friend.
Xen's POV
I had been confused about what was going on. "Guys, what's up, who are we savin' Eve from?" I asked. Nobody answered as the situation may or may not have been dire. When we reached the building we needed to go to, we immediatly got in, and saw the poor Code: Nemesis backed against a wall, as she was being faced by a man in a long, white scientist coat. He had white tied back hair and had 6 Purple floating objects floating behind him.
"Kekeke... Eve... the Nasod Queen... if you wish not to give me your code..." He said as he slowly approached her with purple electricty emmiting from the floating objects. "...I'll force you to do so!" He continued, laughing a laugh only a lunatic could possess. Chung immediatly ran toward the whitehair man and slammed his Destroyer into him, while blasting a rocket out from the other end to boost the power of the impact, and sent the man flying as well as his floating things following him.
"Keep your hands off her, you lunatic!" Chung yelled while standing infront of Eve protectingly holding his Destroyer. Elsword ran up, too, and had a rune in his left hand as he pointed his sword at the man with his right.
"Tch, I'll get her code next time! And when it happens, you'll be helpless, Nasod Queen! And you will remember me by Add!" He laughed as he fled away on his weapons.
"What was that about?" I asked.
"Honestly, I wish to know the answer of that question, too. But if I would guess, the man seems to wish for the Code I contain on my forehead," She points at her forehead and it was a blue orb with gold surrounding it. "Something that makes me a Sentient Nasod. I do not know why, though."
"So... I guess we'll seem him later on..?" Elsword asked.
"Yeah, and I guess we'll be the ones to stop him." I reply. We walk out of the lab and the outside of the camping area to see very minimal demons, less demons that were during both post, during, and before the 14 day lasting invasion. "Wow, guess killing the Nephillim impacts on the demon invasion, eh?" Elsword asks
"Yes, but it's not completely over yet. We need to defeat the general of the demon army in order for it to be 100% over." Raven replies.
When he said that, Ara seemed to tear up a bit, as she already know who Raven is talking about. "'Ey, come on Ara, I'm sure we can save your brother while savin' him. You can trust us!" Elsword said, heartily.
"Mm.. Thanks, Elsword... And all you guys." Ara said wiping a tear from her eye.
I look into the sky. "So, guys, I'm sure we all know where we're goin' next, right?" I say with a large grin on my face. We all nod and say in unision, "Hamel, here we come!"
"By the way, Xen, you said Assault Blitz is your WEAKEST attack... what's your STRONGEST if Assault Blitz was your weakest, as it took down Nephillim even while it was really strong?" Elesis asks curiously. "Eh, you'll find out in the future, why?" I reply
"Just curious..."
"Oi, curiousity killed a cat!"
As we all head to the dock, we boarded the ship to Hamel, and saw before us a beautiful blue and white city. Hamel.
However, little did I know, something would happen to the El Search Party... Something bad.
Me: YEP! And thaat's it!
Xen: I'm gonna what? What is it? TellmetellmetellmeTELLME! D
Me: Nope! Not until you get 2 or 3 chapters into it! But, I'll give you a hint; It has something to do with the hint I gave in the last chapter~!
Xen: *^*
Me: Oh, and sorry if this was a short chapter like the last legit-chapter, I get pretty lazy.
