GL (GalaxyLight): I'm back for more. In this chapter, I'll be introducing the first boss of this story. And you might know who the boss is. Right guys?
Elsword: I hate that thing!
Elesis: Please don't bring that up. I have hard memories when battling that robot.
GL: Too bad, because you'll be facing it again!
Elsword and Elesis: NOOOOO!
GL: Sorry! But it has to be done!
Elder: Wally's Underground Laboratory
The four red-haired heroes continues their journey to find a way out of the Laboratory. Unfortunately, they had no luck so far. As they kept walking, they started to feel worried as if they're getting lost.
"Um...We're going the right way...Right?" Young Elesis asks the older siblings.
"To be honest...I have no idea..." Elesis answers as she turned to them feeling blue.
"WHAT!? YOU MEAN WE'RE LOST?! AND HERE I THOUGHT YOUR SENSE OF DIRECTIONS COULDN'T GET ANY WORSE!" Elsword scolded her.
"Sorry, Sorry, maybe I should have let you take the lead." She pleaded calmly out of guilt.
'That Elsword...is scolding my older self...HOW DOES HE DO THAT!?' Elesis thought to herself. She didn't think her hot-headed, noisy little brother who has become a mature and serious guy from the future, would be mad at his older sister. Was it because of her teachings in the future?
"Then do you know where the exit is, Elsword? I doubt you'd know." Elesis asked her brother making young Elsword snap back to reality.
'Maybe he's actually growing up.' Young Elesis thought thinking Elsword might actually be smart.
"Well..." He began scratching his head for a bit and closed his eyes. "...Dunno." He smiled while he scratches his head laughing making the rest of the gang do a Face Fault (Anime Fall) due to his shocking and simple answer.
"You know that was disrespectful, Elsword." Elesis groaned as she got up.
"Yeah, sorry." He continued to laugh.
'His stupidity is still there, so I shouldn't really be surprised.' Young Elesis thought to herself again while trying to get up. She knew even though Elsword has changed a bit in the future, he will still be Elsword whatsoever.
"So what do we do now?" Young Elsword asks.
"Guess we'll have to find a way out by luck then. Hopefully we can find something." Elesis suggested.
The rest agreed as they continued their journey. They hoped to find a way out, but it was the exact opposite. Ironically, they've been walking around for 30 minutes and still haven't found anything. They did ran into some Nasod that are still functional, but they seeped them clean like they didn't have a problem with it.
As they were walking again, the light that they were moving towards were getting dimmer. "Um...Is it just me, or is it getting darker in here?" Young Elesis asked.
"I guess the light in that passageway has blacked out." Elsword answered.
"We'll just have to go through it cautiously." Elesis instructs them. "Stay close and try not to get separated."
"You're the one to talk." Elsword whispered thinking Elesis will get separated from them and get lost again.
"What was that, Elsword?" She gave Elsword a smiling look although dark aura was spreading out from her implying that she's mad at Elsword.
"N-Nothing! Let's go!"
'Scary." The younger siblings thought in their minds.
They proceed through the dark entrance. When they were walking, it was already pitch black in there. None of them could see a single thing.
"I can't see anything!" Young Elsword yelled out.
"Don't worry, Elsword. I got you!" Young Elesis said trying to grab her little brother.
"Whoa! Hey! That's my leg!" Elsword cried out. It turns out Young Elesis grabbed Elsword's leg instead of her brother.
"Ah, sorry!" She let go of him and continued to find Young Elsword.
"EEK! Who just touched me?" Elesis squeal only to be hold on by Young Elsword.
"It's me." He answered.
"Please let go of me. You're touching something you shouldn't be touching." She blushes red but it didn't really matter since nobody could see it. Young Elsword didn't understand why but he let go of her.
"Ow! Who stepped on my foot!" Elsword called out.
"That was you!? Sorry!" Elesis apologized.
"WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE SO DARK!?" Elsword shouted angered by this situation.
After 5 minutes of getting through the dark and their...problem. They managed to found a faint light. They ran to the light as they cheered to finally get out of that pitch black area.
"Ow! That's bright!" Elsword yelped while rubbing his eyes.
"At least we're finally able to see things again." Young Elesis sighed with relief while holding tight to her little brother so they won't be separated.
"Sis...you can let me go now." Elsword whispered to her. She stammered as she let go of him.
Elsword looked right and left for something...or rather 'someone'. "Um...Where's my sister? She's not here." He shivered. This made the younger siblings freeze in terror.
Meanwhile
"Wait...isn't this place where I came from?" Elesis find light herself but she apparently went back to where she started in the dark passageway. She paused for a few seconds and began to feel embarrassed. Lucky for her nobody was around to see it. "You have got to be kidding me! Now I have to go back again. Hang on, guys! I'm coming back for you!"
"Ugh! I knew this happen. She seriously needs some help with directions." Elsword sighed. "I know it was a dark place, but she didn't have to walk another way."
'Well it is true I'm not good with directions.' Young Elesis thought to herself. 'I guess even when I grow up, I still have some weaknesses that would never go away.'
"So what do we do now?" Young Elsword asked them.
"Guess we'll have to wait for her then." Elsword sighed.
"Eh? We're not coming to get her?"
"Are you kidding? I don't want to go back in there and get hurt again. Besides, I think Elesis can manage on her. Trust me, she's really strong."
"Still stronger than you?" Young Elesis teased.
Elsword groaned as he slowly nodded. "But I'm catching up at least. I better catch up if I'm going get her to earn my respect. And when that times comes, I'll be ready to-" Before Elsword could finish, he suddenly heard something falling down. He turned around to see a piece of metal rolling right on his point of view. So he looked left and saw something familiar and it made him slowly fall backwards out fear.
"W-What's wrong?" Young Elesis asks as she went to him.
"T-That Nasod...It couldn't be..." He was too scared talk to what he has seen.
Young Elesis turned to what Elsword was looking at. She was shocked to see a giant bulky Nasod facing towards them. It had blue colour on the left and red colour on the right side. It was the Nasod Inspector.
'Wally already made that in the past? No wonder why it's so old.' Elsword thought to himself.
Luckily it was offline for now, but Elsword wasn't taking any chances. "Okay, you two please keep quiet and go back to that passageway." He whispered to the younger siblings.
"Huh? What for?" She didn't understand but she did whisper after seeing Elsword being cautious.
"You see, I sort of don't trust that Nasod. We fought it once and we almost got trashed by it."
"What!? Really!?"
He nodded. "To be better safe than sorry. Just tell your brother to get back to the dark passageway and move slowly."
Young Elesis did what she was told. She did find it weird that she felt like was taking orders from her own brother. But since he's older than her, there's no other choice for her.
When she walked to her brother, she accidentally kicked the rolled metal causing loud metallic sound. Elsword and Young Elesis gasped to hear how loud it was making the chances that the Nasod Inspector might hear it. They turned to see if it was moving or not. It's eye wasn't on meaning it is still offline. They continued to stare at it waiting for it to do something. After waiting, they gave out a sigh of relief when the Nasod was still not doing anything.
'That was close. I need to be careful the next time.' Young Elesis thought to herself. She looked away and back to Young Elsword.
Elsword however was still looking at the Nasod Inspector due to having a cold feeling towards it. He had a thought that the Nasod's eye was going to glow orange like the last time he encountered it. And believe or not he was right. The Nasod Inspector's eye glowed orange shocking Elsword. It was looking at the young red-haired siblings. None of them doesn't seem to notice it.
"Come on, Elsword. We have to go back in there." Young Elesis whispered.
"Eh? Why? Do we have to?" Young Elsword pouted.
"Yes. This is an order from your future self. Come on! Let's go!" Before they could go back. Young Elesis heard something from behind. She turned shocked to see the Nasod Inspector attempting to punch her and Young Elsword. Luckily it was parried by Lord Knight Elsword.
"Go! Find my sister! She'll be a great help right now!" Elsword cried out to them.
"What about you!?" Young Elesis called back.
"I'll try to hold it off as long as I can. Hurry! I can't stay like this any longer!"
Young Elesis knew that he would be too reckless to fight it on his own. And from the looks of that Nasod, fighting it alone may not be a good idea. "Understood. Come on, Elsword. We've got to find my older self."
"But what about-"
"He'll manage on his own for now. We've got to find her now!"
"O-Okay!" The two young siblings went back to the dark passageway to find Elesis.
Losing sight of them, Elsword side-stepped away from the Nasod Inspector's fist. "Alright! You ridiculous giant metal-head. Let's see what you got!" He cried out as he charged towards it.
GL: I think I should stop here. If I'm going to do a boss, it's going to take incredibly long to detail it in words of the movements, the skills and the conversations. It's tough, so I'll do the boss in the next chapter.
I have a question by the way, it may happen a couple of times in the story. Does Elesis have a bad sense of directions? I'm not trying to be rude or anything but I've heard she's not really good at it. If she is, I kinda understand it. I know she's really strong and all, but I'm pretty sure she has a weakness that might be ridiculous in sorts. I'll be using that weakness of hers a couple of times in the future chapters and stories. I sort of find it funny if she's the one who gets lost and confused to where she is going. I don't know why but it to me it fits her. She's kinda like Zoro from One piece. Anyway, Leave your answer in the Review box if you know.
