GL (GalaxyLight): Okay, we don't want Elsword and Elesis to get captured so we gotta get this going before they do.
Elsword: Owwwww
Elesis: Still hurt from that, Elsword. 'rubbing her left arm'
Elsword: Yeah, but I don't know about you.
Elesis: I am fine and I have proof!
GL: You two can argue on your own time. We're doing this right now!
Note: The younger siblings will be named 'Young Elsword' and 'Young Elesis' just to know which Elsword and Elesis we're talking about.
Rena (Past): Ranger (Unknown Age)
High above Ruben Village, the ship of grand demons flies above the sky.
Elrios (Past)
Ship of Grand Demons (Scar's Ship)
"AARRRRGGGHHHH!" A red-haired boy was screaming at the top of his lungs. "GET ME OUTTA HERE! I WANT OUT NOW! YOU HEAR ME?"
"Elsword, you're going to waste your breath if you keep shouting like that." The red-haired girl said covering her ears.
Elsword and Elesis, the younger ones, were held in prison in Scar's ship. None of them had any weapons to fight back. All they could do is wait until something happens.
Young Elsword eventually gave up shouting and sat down in the middle of the cellar. "Man, I hope everyone is okay." He sighed.
"I hope for that too. I'm sure they're alive somewhere." Young Elesis said.
"They're alive somewhere? So they can be found and die?" He said not entirely trusting his sister's words. "Why is it...everything in Elrios seems to revolve around people dying?"
"That... is something I would want to know." Young Elesis answers. "All I can say is that people around Elrios protect their land from demons. Some gave their lives to protect Elrios. I know it's sad but this is the way of life here in Elrios. Sometimes when demons in Elrios are gone, they'll come back and invade again someday."
Then she knelled down so she can face her brother in front of her. "That's why we have to become knights so we can protect those people in need, Elsword. We can help Elrios make a better future along with everyone so they can be happy and we can be happy too."
Young Elsword didn't say anything and just sighed.
"Don't worry. We'll find a way out of here and save Elrios from these monsters. I promise that we will save this land. Have faith in your sister. You with me?"
Young Elsword nods as he slightly smiles. "Okay, I'm in...Thanks, sis." He still wasn't entirely comfortable though.
Just then a huge rumbling was in the ship meaning it's under attack. Three flying saucers were firing purple energy balls at it from behind, and they won't stop until it goes down.
"EMERGENCY! EMERGENCY!" The voice was coming from a megaphone outside the cellar.
This the demon general, Scar. You are all ordered to get to the main command bridge. That includes the two red-haired prisoners. No slacking! MOVE!"
Then the celler door was opened by one of the demons. "On your feet! The general wants you to the command bridge. And don't get any funny ideas. Now move!" He shouted.
The young siblings did as they were told and walked to the command bridge. "Why would the demon general want us there?" Young Elsword whispered to Young Elesis.
"I don't know, but best to be on your guard. Who knows what he wants from us." Young Elesis replied silently.
"Stop talking and start walking!" The demon shouted as they continued to walk.
The ship kept rumbling due to being fired by the saucers but the siblings kept going. When they finally got to the main command bridge, they saw Scar operating the command panel.
"I refused to let these insolent alien garbage take down my ship." He snarled. "I will give them a painful death! Fire all weapons!"
"FIRE!" The two coordinators shouted pressing buttons on their control pads. The ship then aimed all of their weapons at the saucers and blasts them all into bits.
"Hmph! They had a ridiculous excuse to attack us. They won't make this ship go down that easily." Scar smirked.
"Yeah, boss! You're the best!" Said one of the demon drivers who got off the seat to praise his general. This causes the ship to immediately descend fast. The driver ran back to his seat, grabbed the wheel and balance the ship again.
"You idiot! Who told you can get off the pilot seat. Pay attention, moron!" Scar growled.
"Yes, General!" The driver replied.
"General! There! 4 O'Clock!"
The coordinator shows them a holo-panel with a picture of two red-haired knights fallen by three Twinsers who are still laughing evilly.
Scar and Young Elesis twitched as he saw the knights, giving them thinking time, Elsword had no clue who they are due to how forgetful and blunt he is.
"Those villagers are under Twinser attack!" Said one of the demon coordinator.
"Your...Your orders? Should we help them?"
Scar thought about until Young Elesis piped up. "You have to save them, Scar." She said making the demon general turn around and look at her.
"Hey! Don't disturb to the general!" One of the demons shouted at Young Elesis.
"Silence!" The general shouted at him. "Continue..."
"Those two may be at use to us. Maybe they have something they could tell us about these aliens. They could explain about something we don't know about. Please! Save them!" Young Elesis pleaded. Some were small lies though.
The general gave some thinking time and sighed. "I really wanted to get rid of every Twinser I see, so I guess going down there would be enough..." He agreed to Elesis terms which surprises her. "Fire the spiked Spiral" Scar ordered.
"Aye, general! FIRE!" The coordinators shouted pressing buttons on the control pad. The guns on the ship began to space out to reveal a big launcher inside the ship. The ship fires a giant spiked energy ball made out of pure steel. It landed directly on the three Twinsers crushing them literally while avoiding the two knights.
"That should take care of it." Scar smirked and then walked to Young Elsword and Young Elesis. "You two take care of things from here. Go down there and get those knights."
"Eh? Why us?" Young Elsword complained.
"Because this was your idea. Now go before I change my mind!"
"Come on, Elsword. Let's not waste time." Young Elesis said dragging Young Elsword out of the room.
Elrios (Past)
Ruben Village (Ruin)
One of the demon guards escorted the young siblings to the door that leads outside of the ship. They also got some demonic swords in case of any ambushes coming.
"Don't take too long. If the general gets impatient, he'll come after you. Trust me, he wasn't happy when that happened the last time he waited." The guard explained. "And don't try to escape either if I were you."
"Don't worry. We won't." Young Elesis faked smiled which creeped Young Elsword out. "Come on, Elsword. Let's go and get them."
As they were walking, Young Elsword asked Young Elesis a odd question. "Sis, why did you say you want to save those knights here?" He asked.
"Well...you see...something about them makes my body tingle for some reason." Young Elesis explains. "When I first saw them, they had a look that I somewhat find it...odd. I mean they have red hair like us. And their faces as well. It's like they bear a striking resemblance to ours."
"Say what now?"
"I'm not kidding! Didn't you take a closer look on them on the screen? Look, I just have this feeling that we have to rescue them. I don't know why but something tells me to do so. Now let's go already!"
The young siblings make their way to the older ones who were still unconscious. When they found them, the two tried to wake them up. Up close, Young Elesis had a even more fishy feeling towards them now. Young Elesis tried to wake the older Elesis while Young Elsword tried to wake the older Elsword. None of them moved a muscle. Young Elesis tried to feel her older self's heartbeat and it was beating slowly.
"She's not dead, just out cold. I'm glad for that." Young Elesis sighed of relief. "What about you, Elsword?"
"He's not dead either." Young Elsword replied. "His body is still warm."
"That's a relief."
"#%& " They heard a voice from behind. It was the Twinsers, two of them to be exact because the third one was nowhere to be seen..
"What? I thought Scar got rid of them." Young Elsword said shocked.
"They must have survived that attack. Looks like we got no choice but to fight." Young Elesis drew her sword and was ready to attack. Elsword did the same.
The only thing they weren't expecting is that the Twinsers have guns which Young Elsword is unfamiliar with but Young Elesis was.
"What is that?" Young Elsword said confused.
"ELSWORD! WATCH OUT!" Young Elesis screamed she charged at Elsword and tackled him out of the way and the Twinser missed his shot.
"Ow! what was that for, sis?" Young Elsword grunted as he was rubbing his head.
"Those things are called 'guns', Elsword. They're like bow and arrow but faster and more painful than they look." Young Elesis explains him. "So I suggest you immediately move around when they aim at you. That way they can miss you."
"...Okay..." Young Elsword slightly understood.
One of the Twinsers blasts another energy shot on Elsword. This time, he reacted and dodged out of the way by running on the left side. He then immediately jumped up and slashed him making wounded and dizzy.
As for Young Elesis, she was handling herself better than Young Elsword, because she was making consecutive slashes on the Twinser and already made him dizzy as well. It wasn't a surprise for her younger brother because he knew she was strong enough to end it so quickly.
After both of them were stunned, Young Elesis finishes them off with one strong skill. "Flame Geyser!" She shouted as she slams the ground to make a big pillar of fire below the Twinsers. As the pillar of fire burns them, they were all sent flying into the sky.
Elsword sees how amazing his sister was. He realized that he needs to keep up with her so he can learn it and protect her as well. 'I have to get stronger, so I can be as strong as sis.' He thought as courage was filing him up.
"There. That takes care of that." Young Elsword breathes as he put his sword into the ground.
Then Young Elesis notices a shadow behind Young Elsword. She looks up only to find a hidden Twinser ready to assassinate her brother. "Elsword! Look out behind you!" She screamed.
Elsword's eyes widen as he turned around to see a Twinser with a dagger ready to assassinate him. Elsword was too scared to what he saw, he couldn't move. Just as the Twinser was about to stab him, an arrow was immediately shot to him causing him to fly through Young Elsword and die as he fell to the ground.
The two young siblings turned to looked at the one who shot the Twinser. It was a green-haired girl with a bow and long pointy ears, revealing that she's an elf.
"Hello." She greeted them as she walked to them.
"Are you the one who fired that arrow?" Young Elesis asked. The elf nodded. "Thank you. You saved my brother's life." She bowed her head. Young Elsword was still shivering from the assassination attempt. Young Elesis had to comfort him for a while to calm him down. Eventually he did.
"my name is Rena. Nice to meet you." The elf said as introductions were in order.
"I'm Elesis and this is my little brother Elsword. It's nice to meet you too." Young Elesis introduced.
"Hi there." Young Elsword waved his hand.
"So what are you two doing here in this village? It's all a wreck now." Rena asks.
"We're here to pick up some people." Young Elesis explained.
"You mean them?" She asked pointing at their older selves.
"Yeah...What about you?" Elsword asked.
"I'm here to scout any survivors that are still in Ruben. I saw a huge ship in there and thought there might be trouble. You guys must be lucky to be here and alive." She smiled.
"I could say the same thing to you elves." Elesis smiled back.
"You guys should come with me. That ship might take off any minute. So lets leave."
Before Rena could move, Young Elesis stopped her. "Actually...can you leave us here?" She asks with a downed face.
"What? Why?"
"We...have something we need to do on our own." Young Elesis was trying her best not to tell her that they're here to rescue a pair and bring them to the demon ship.
"Then why don't I-"
"We can't let you get involved to this. This is our quest. Besides you have jobs to do on your own so you don't need us."
"But what about you guys?"
"Don't worry about us. We can take care of ourselves just fine. We're strong enough to handle things on our own. So please, just leave us here and go on your own."
Rena pauses and thought about and made up her mind. "Okay...whatever you say. You guys must have your reasons I guess." She sighed. Just as she was about to leave them, she turned to them with some words. "Just be careful, okay?" The young siblings nodded as Rena left the village.
"All right! Let's get these two back to Scar's ship." Young Elesis said as she was picking up her older self. "Who knows when more of those awful aliens will return anytime soon."
"Right!" Young Elsword answered picking up his older self. The two carried their older selves to the Ship of Grand Demons.
Suddenly without the younger siblings knowing, Elsword, the one from the present slowly opens his eyes as he notices that he was being carried by a small red-haired boy to a demon ship. 'Is that...me?' He then notices her sister being carried by a red-haired girl. 'Isn't that...sis..." Elsword was beginning to lose consciousness again. 'Where...am I being taken?" he thought before he collapsed again.
After the young siblings got back to the ship with their older selves inside, the ship lifts itself up back to the sky once more.
GL: That should be it for now. I will also be adding the elgang in the past in this story as well. Because, well, it can't always be Elsword and Elesis, can it? Anyway, it looks like the siblings from the past and present have finally met each other. What will happen then? Will the siblings from the present tell the truth about their true identity or will they keep their mouth closed for the time being? The answere will be in the next chapter.
