Xen: Why?

Me: Oh, uh... why..? Oh, for no... particular reason...

Xen's POV

"...Crap! Ambush!" I yell as Elsword, Raven, Rena, Eve, and I are surrounded by Demons

Elesis' POV

This is not how I thought the mission would go...

So far, Chung and Aisha got down after putting up a good fight, at least they managed to give the Shadow Master a few burns, shocks, and Cannonballs to the face and to his Shadow Ball. No kidding. He actually has a Shadow Ball under him instead of legs... Weird.

Ara's still scratching the Shadow Master in the face and stabbing him. Something in my head goes "Ding!" Like a lightbulb. I remember that there's something I can start doing at this time... And I plan on doing it. "Ara! Get away from the Shadow Master, I wanna try somethin'!" I exclaim. Ara nods and jumps away from the Shadow Master. "Here goes nothing!" I say as my right arm is coated in flames. "Blaze Wing!" I thrust my arm in a punching motion and a homing Fire-Line fires, darting around the area, hitting the Shadow Master several times. However, it starts fidgeting and it starts going everywhere. I duck to avoid getting a face-full of Blaze Wing, as it also flies towards Ara, whom manages to inch away from it a bit, making the Blaze Wing only burn the tip of her nose, which she pats to put out. The Blaze Wing dissipates and the Shadow Master is covered in burns.

"U-Ugh.. You damn kids are lucky... But... The repeated year of the possessor of the flames from hell was born is also known as the year Hell has been released. 10 members of a team who have defeated demons and searched for a crystal. 4 will be gravely injured out of all. 4 separate from each other. 1 will fall. Who will own these roles, and who will survive?" he says. "Wait, what? What does that even mean?!" I ask, before the Shadow Master falls to the ground covered in burns, however the Shadow Master isn't the only thing burnt; the whole area is burnt too. Then, the whole area starts to crumble and fall into water suddenly.

"Ara! The Resiam is sinking! Go Grab Chung and jump down to the water! I'll grab Aisha!" I yell. Ara grabs Chung and his Destroyed-Which is deemed too heavy for her- and jumps off the nearest ledge with the bottom being water. I run up to Aisha and pick her up, and run to the same ledge Ara hopped off of. I hold by breathe and jump off the ledge. I feel the wind blowing against my face as I free fall to the water, and all of a sudden, SPLASH, I hit the water and sink slowly. Oh crap! How are we gonna get outta here? We're gonna drown! I think as I look around frantically around for Ara and Chung. I see them down at the bottom, as Chung's Destroyer is weighing them down like an anchor.

I swim towards them at the bottom and try to help Ara pull herself, Chung, and his cannon, which is just as hard for me, as I am carrying Aisha on my back. We start to lose our breath, and I am frantically struggling to bring Ara, Chung, his Destroyer, Aisha, and myself up to the surface. Then we open our mouths and we find ourselves a surprise; we're able to breathe underwater for some odd reason. But it's temporary, as we need to breathe in some bubbles in order to keep on breathing in the water. "Oh... Thank god we can breathe under water for a short while... C'mon. Let's go find the exit to this place... it's crawling with creepy stuff, like Armored Crabs, Iz's, Laguz's, and a lot more..." I tell Ara before she nods, and we start walking in a random direction, occasionally breathing in bubbles to breathe. "Ugh.. wha... what's going on..?" Aisha speaks up on my back suddenly, which gave me a small scare. "Eep! Oh, hey Aisha, you're awake..." I say.

"Ugh... yeah... W-wait a s-second... are we... UNDERWATER?!" Aisha screams, confused.

"Yeah, but we can still breathe as long as we inhale bubbles. It keeps our oxygen filled."

"Oh, thank El..."

"Thanks, El." I say jokingly with a grin. I see Chung start moving on Ara's Shoulder, and starts to wake up. "Hey, guys... where are we..?" He asks, while his Destroyer is in Ara's hand, which must weigh her down no less than 5 tons. "We're underwater, breathing." Ara explains to Chung blandly. She let chung down on the ground, and I let Aisha down on the ground too, while she's looking around in the water, mystified. "Woow... So pretty!"

"Yeah... It is Hamel Waters..." Chung says. "But, anyways, we should start looking around for an exit before we run out of breath." We all nod in agreement. If Xen was here, he'd say: Oh, you don't say? I wanna get outta here not because I'm gonna drown, but my powers ara gonna suck and I won't be a badass! I wonder what he's doing right know.

We continue to wander around the Sunken Resiam looking for a way out, constantly consuming bubbles. Once, we couldn't find any bubbles and when there were only a very few streaming out of a crack in the ground, and we nearly murdered eachother for the bubbles. Then we noticed a gate. Chung busted it open with his Destroyer and we entered. When we enter, the gate immediatly closes behind us and we hear sounds of a large snake swimming through the water. Immediatly, an enormous seasnake appears behind us; The Coral Serpent. It roars and opens it mouth. At first we were confused, and then, it started spewing out poison. Lots of it.

We rolled out of the way and I tried throwing a ball of fire at it, then realized; We're underwater. So no fire. The Serpent threw itself against the ground towards me. I pull out my Claymore and start to block it's head with my Claymore, and I struggle. While it's distracted, Chung fires cannonballs at it, which seems slow, Aisha whacks it with her staff, because A. Her fire is useless, B. The lightning will spread, and C. The ice she makes will freeze partially of the water. So she's whacking it with it with a staff. Ara is lucky; her powers aren't crippled. She's slashing at it with her spear and clawing it and throwing darkness at it. The Serpant backed away from me and slithered away and into the background. It started to suck up it's breath, and released a large, cold, swirling, underwater tornado from it's mouth. "Ru- Eh, Swim!" I yell as we swim to the corners of the area and behind columns, which are cracking.

Just when they are about to break, the serpent stops and swims upwards, then dives towards us. "Oh, crap, brace for impact!" Chung warns and he digs his Destroyer in the ground, and holds on to it, as well as Aisha. Ara and I dig our weapons in the ground to brace for impact. I notice something gloing blue on the ground... The Serpent slams right into the middle of the area and the water vibrates and hits us from the force. However, when it gets right back up, the same glowing object is right in it's mouth and travels down it's throat. Chung pulls out a button and presses it, and boom; the serpent blows up from inside. "...Xen would love this." Chung says.

"Chung, what the heck was that?!" Aisha asks. Chung pulls out a grenade.

"A grenade, is all. I figured it would be hard to kill it from outside, but easy inside."

"Whoa."

"Wait, guys... how long have we went through without consuming bubbles?!" Ara asks, and we look at eacher, as we all start to cough and hold our breath. We look around frantically for bubbles. None. Then we see an exitting gate. I signal towards the others for it and we start swimming for it. When we open the exit's gate and immediatly go through it, we get fresh air and some water got through, but not too much. We all pant heavily and see a ladder leading upwards and look at eachother.

"I'll take a guess that this leads to Ancient Waterway." I assume. I climb up the ladder, followed by Aisha, Chung, then Ara, and when we get to the top, we see the sky again and alot of cracked stones, and demons littered around the path, some with nasod spears in their face, cuts and bruises, and Fist and Leg marks on them. "I think the others already went through here." Aisha says. We start walking and head down any path we see that has any dead demon there. We see an opened gate, inside the large room is a four legged beast on top a crater and two holes in the same wall. "Judging by the large crater and holes in the wall, I can tell Xen came in here, too..." I say

"Huh? Why, I thought he was supposed to wait at Hamel for us?" Chung asks

"He was. He just didn't and decided to come here after scouting." I answer and walk through one of the holes in the wall and so do the others. Ara, Aisha, and Chung grab me before I walk off of a ledge. "Wha- Oh my god, what's going on down there?!" I ask while I look down to see Xen shooting Hellfire and Lightning, Elsword throwing Runes, Raven punching, Rena kicking, and Eve shooting guns and spears, all in order to fend off the demons ambushing them on a slowly sinking platform. "We should help them!" Aisha says. We nod and Aisha floats downwards while she's on my back, and Ara warps down somehow with Chung, and we start to assist the other 5. Xen goes up to us, back towards us. "Geez, took ya guys long enough! What gave?" Xen says while facing the demons, and I back up against him, back-to-back.

"Yeah, well, we didn't know until now! Besides, weren't you supposed to wait at Hamel for us?" I scold

"What, and let you guys have all the fun? No way, Elesis, if you plan for someone to wait somewhere while everyone else is gonna fight, I ain't your man! Besides, we got more important stuff to do, like beat up a bunch of demons!"

I sigh. "Fine, but we're not done yet." I say, and Xen nods. We turn our attention back to the demons. We throw several attacks at the demons for what seems like forever and it seems Xen is getting tired, he even nearly fell over. "Xen, what's up? You look hella tired!" Elsword says. "I used up a lot of energy on those attacks on the Light Tarnavash, and I think I'm takin' a late reaction..!" Xen replies tiredly. Then the Demons disappear and the sinking platform stops moving. Something above us in a deep tone laughs. We look up and see something on top ov a ledge in the high wall the platform sank to.

"Hahaha! Now that your tank is outta gas, let's see how you well you greenhorns can fight without it!" The voice says. It belongs to some kind of big wrestler guy with a mask on his face and a champion belt around his stomach.

"Wierd..." Elsword says.

"Grey." Eve comments.

"Zombie-ish." Raven says.

"Fat." Aisha says.

"Victor!" Xen exclaims.

All of us look at him.

"Well, looks like ONE of you knows me!" Victor exclaims.

"You know this creep?" I ask. Xen replies with a grimace on his face that says, Wish I could say no, but this guy is really wierd! I kinda know him, but I wanna pound him in the face 5 Billions Times if I wasn't so tired. "Yeah. I read about this guy in Velder's Library in the book, 'Lists of Top 10 Demons of each Genre!'. He took 5th place in 'Most Strangest', 2nd in 'Most Fattest', and 1st in 'Most Violent'." He says instead.

"WAAAIITWAITWaitwaitwaitwaitwait, Velder still has a library?" I ask

"Yep. Of course they do."

"And they have THAT kind of book?"

"Mhm."

"And you READ?!"

"Unfortunatly, yes."

I shook my head quickly to get my mind off of the fact Xen reads and turn my attention back to Victor. "I'm here to take you bugs down!" Victor yells with a thumbs down side and hops of his post and into the middle of the platform and we are all pushed back from impact. Xen tries too throw a large ball of Hellfire at Victor but to no avail. "Crap, I can't do squat, I'm too tired!" Xen exclaims. Victor laughs again, "Aww, what's the matter, is your tank broken down? Guess you'll have to fight with your own weapons and not rely on him!"

"Ugh, he's starting to annoy me!" Xen says and runs up to him, but a bit slowly, and slugs Victor right in the stomach and gives him a good headbutt to the chest, and Victor is thrown down.

"Just because I don't have my powers being useful at the time, doesn't mean I don't have my fists!" Xen exclaims. I remembered that before taking on the energy of Lightning with Hellfire, he would use his Fists and Hellfire instead. But since he got Lightning, he barely uses his fist anymore. But he still knows how to fight with them. "What?! I didn't know you know how to use your puny hands, too, Wielder of the Hadesflame!" He exclaims

"It's called HELLFIRE!' Xen yells as he body slams right into Victor's stomach, forcing blood out of his mouth, leading to an uppercut to the chin, and Victor is sent flying, then Xen doubles over holding his right arm with his left. "Crap... It's been a while since I've punched that hard with just my fists... It's made my arms weak, but not the strength." He says. Victor gets up from the spot he was thrown to. "Ugh... Yes... now you're completely helpless... It's time I destroyed you all, now! FOR THE DEMON ARMY! GAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAH!" Xen backed away and everyone and I readied to fight, but we seemed just as tired as Xen. "The demons weren't the real ambush... They were just cannonfodder! Victor is the real ambush!" Elsword says.

"Yeah, that's right! Ran will pay me quite a lot for getting rid of you annoying brats!" Victor exclaims.

"I'm 21!" Xen says.

"I'm 24!" Raven exclaims.

"I'm 20, and so is Ara!" I yell. However, Ara seemed to have become quiet when Ran was mentioned.

Victor turns his attention to Xen. "Now, Xen, I know you want to bring your 'giryfriend' to life, Right?" Xen's eyes were wide, jaw dropped, and astonished. "Wait... what? How do you know that, you creep?" Xen demands.

"I just know. I heard from a demon that had stuck around you when you didn't even know. Trust me, the only way that can happen is if you were to kill Ran, the Demon General! And that's impossible, too! Hehehahahahahah!" Victor laughs. Xen has a look in his eyes. One that makes you know he'll do whatever it takes to do whatever he wants; A look of hope.

"W... What? How does that work?!" Xen asks.

"Ohoh, I know you don't need to know how, I know you're still wanting to do it! I know most Bearers of Hellfire Powers are Reckless, and I can tell you're as reckless as every other Bearer of Hellfire!"

"There... there are more like me..?"

"Yes, however some don't own the same personality like you, so they're much more careful, means they'll be much harder to kill. However, it'll be easy to kill YOU."

Xen looked hopeful and surprised, and somewhat afraid, too. He's about to be killed, while tired and unable to use his powers. "THIS IS THE END, GREENHORNS! DIE!" Victor yells as he charges towards us. He's about to throw a blow to end us all, but then a large purple sphere of energy rams right into Victor and an explosion happens and we're all blown back. "Woah! What's that!?" Raven asks. "I don't know!" Rena says.

"Xen?" I ask him.

"No... not me." He replies. When smoke clears, it's the appearence of a man. A man in a Black Vest over a longsleeved Purple Shirt, along with Black pants, as it appears to be a White Haired Man in a Butler kind of suit with Six Objects floating behind him. ..."Add!" We all say, especially Eve. "Whoa, dang man, what's with the new get-up?" Elsword asks curiously.

"I couldn't understand all of the complicated Installs, as it was limited to 3 Install Abilities at a time... So I decided to go with Nasod Armor. More limitless specialties... And more power..." Add answers.

"Alright. Now, why are you here? To save us?" Chung asks.

"Only because of Eve, nothin more, nothing less. I didn't come for the rest of you fools. If there is no more Sentient Nasods on Elrios, I might as well be living in hell. So I helped."

Elsword scoffed, "Dude, what's your deal with Eve?!"

"Well, Eve is the only Sentient Nasod left in Elrios, and I studies Nasods as a child... I must keep Eve alive so I can continue researching on Nasods."

"Awww, you like herrr, don't you~?" Aisha rolls her tongue. Reminds me of a *Blue Flying Cat that talks.

"What?! No! I only care for her Code, not for Love, dammit!"

"Whatever..."

"Never thought I would say it, but I guess... we owe you, Add..." Elsword admits. "If you want, you can help us out and beat up demons..?"

Add starts whispering to himself, then says, "Fine. I'll join. Just don't consider me a 'friend'."

Few of us Fistbump the air, some of us have no reaction, some sighs disappointed, and Eve mouths to Elsword, 'Why?!' look over at Xen and notice he looks confused and hopefully, and I'm a bit worried, so I walk up to him, "Hey, Xen, cheer up! At least you know how to revive your Girlfriend, right?" I peptalk. I noticed Ara gave Xen a glare and at the same time worried.

So, now 10 Members, huh? Great. We need all the help we can get. I wonder what's next.

Suddenly, I remember something. "Xen! I need to tell you something I heard from the Shadow Master when Aisha, Chung, Ara, and I defeated him!"

*Blue Flying Cat that talks: a Reference to Fairy Tail character, Happy, who would usually tease his friends (Lucy or Gray especially) with, "You liiiike her/him" whilst rolling his tongue (The Tongue Rolling is noticable in Original, not in English Dubbed.) (I do not own Happy or Fairy Tail. Both are owned and belong to Funimation, and Hiro Mashima especially.)

Me: Done! :D

Xen: Why did you make me seem so pathetic against Victor on that last most part of it?

Me: So I can introduce Add. I needed to bring the whole party together.

Xen: Oh... Cool.

Next Time!: Promises and Secrets!

Xen: Eh? "Promise and Secrets!"? What's that supposed to mean?

Me: You'll find out sooner or later. Don't think too hard aboutbit though. And be sure to share your thoughts in the reviews! Feel free to do so. You don't have to, though. X3
