GL (GalaxyLight): I'm back for another round. It's time to face the first boss of this story. As you can see, the Nasod Inspector is a ridiculous machine with lots of attack power and defence power, especially defence. Even though Elsword and Elesis destroyed it in their time, it was hard for them. NOw they're going to face it once more.
Right now, Elsword is holding it off for the younger red-haired siblings to find the Grand Master. But the question is; how long can Elsword hold it of for?
The young El-siblings were running around the dark passageway trying to find Elesis from the present. However, they couldn't find her over the pitch blackness.
"Hey! Older me! Where are you?" Young Elesis called out for her. But there was no response.
"Sis, I can't see anything." Young Elsword said to his sister.
"Me too. But if we don't find her, we'll be-"
"Guys? Is that you?" They suddenly heard a voice of a 19-year old woman who accidentally bumped into them.
"Ah! There you are!" Young Elesis cried happily. "You have to get to your Elsword. He's fighting a red and blue Nasod thing."
'Red and blue Nasod thing?' She thought to herself. She thought it sounded familiar to her so she paused for a bit. 'Red and blue Nasod... That's sounds a lot like..." When she was about to find the answer, she realised what the answer was and gasped. "WHAT!?"
"You know that thing too, right?" Young Elesis asks.
"YOU LEFT MY BROTHER THERE BY HIMSELF!?"
"Y-Yeah! He told me to go and look for you while he holds it off."
"UGH! THAT IDIOT!" She always knew that her brother would be reckless at things. But taking a risk that high would be too much worry for her. She fought the Nasod Inspector before, and took quite a beating from it when defeating the robot. She knew that Elsword cannot defeat it alone. Trying not to getting mad again, she began to calm down a little. "C'mon! We have to go and find him!" Elesis then runs.
"Umm... I think you're going back to where you were again." Young Elesis called her having a odd feeling that Elesis is going back to the start again.
"R-Right!" Elesis turned around and went past the young El-siblings and went to the other direction. The little siblings notices and followed her as hard as they could through the dark.
On the other side, Elsword got sent flying after trying to parry the Nasod Inspector's punch. He stabs his sword to the ground to decrease his flying speed and land safely. Though he's been holding it off for so long, he was breathing heavily.
"Mortal Blow!" He shouts as he rapidly smash the ground to cause rocks to shoot up and hit the Nasod. But that attack hardly slowed him down. "Darn it! Gotta move!" He whispered as took some steps backwards. He ran but not fast due to his exhaustion on that last attack.
He turned to the Nasod Inspector who was about to fire a missile at him. He tried to run faster but his exhaustion was wearing him down making him slower. The Nasod Inspector fires it's missile at him. 'I can't escape from it!' Elsword thought to himself. 'I'll just have to block it and hope that I will survive.' He lifted his sword to parry and hope that he will live after the blast.
Just as the missile was about to hit him. It was immediately blown up before it could even hit Elsword. He covered himself with his sword from the explosion to avoid getting blown away and hurt by the heat. After the smoke faded away, Elsword looks around to see if someone hit the missile, because he didn't get hit by it and he knew somebody hit the missile from behind. He turned around to see his sister who used Saber - Extinction on the missile.
"Sis!" Elsword cried out as he got up. "I'm glad you made it! We need to-" Before he could say anything else, he was cut off as he was immediately clonked on the head by his sister.
"YOU STUPID IDIOT! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TRYING TO DO!?" She shouted incredibly loud making Elsword move his head back by Elesis's scream. "I DON'T KNOW WHETHER YOU'RE EITHER BRAVE OR STUPID, BUT TAKING ON THAT THING BY YOURSELF IS TAKING IT TOO FAR. YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER THAN THIS, YOU MORON!"
"Look at you! You're already covered with smoke and dirt, and you're even tired out." She continued scolding. "I thought you understood that you can't take on beings that are powerful than you. But in the end, you're still a reckless boy."
"Everybody have limits, you know. You may be strong but you're not invincible. I know you're trying to protect us, but that doesn't mean you have to risk your life for us. We still need you... I still need you..." She was almost about to cry as she forces herself not to when she fell to her knees to see his face in front of her.
"Please don't do that again. I was so worried about you." She slowly grabbed a Complete Recovery Potion from her inventory and gave it to her brother.
Elsword looked at himself realising his mistake was not only taking on the Nasod himself but also upsetting and worrying his comrades and sister. He was always reckless. The first thing he'll do is charge towards the enemy without thinking. He always kept worrying his allies.
Somehow, what he has realised is that what's he's been doing was not the way he liked it to be. He didn't want them to worry him, because it kept getting them involved in things he didn't want them to be in. But it was all because of Elsword's hot-headed attitude and his recklessness. He didn't want them to worry anymore. He wanted them to fight with their own method, thinking he can count on his allies.
Even that said, he still wants to protect them. He didn't want any of his comrades to die. He wanted them to live and keep moving while they still have a life of their own.
'I'm sorry, guys.' Elsword thought to himself.
He tighten his fist and gave Elesis his answer. "I will. I don't want to put anymore risks for anyone else. From now on, I'll not just fight for you and everyone else, but I'll also fight for myself. I'll fight by your sides and never separate from you in battle."
Elesis wiped her tears and smiled happily as Elsword understood. "Thank you, Elsword. Now how about we deal with this robot? We've beaten it before and now we're going to do it again together." The present El-Siblings turned to the Nasod Inspector was activating combat mode again.
After Elsword drank the Complete Recovery Potion and smiled made a smile of a wild animal. "I'm starting to feel excited for some reason. Maybe it's because we're battling a strong enemy with only the two of us. It's sort of like the old times."
Elesis chuckled "You may be right about that." She readied her sword while Elsword readied his.
The younger siblings who managed to get out as well, hid behind some metal and watched them get ready. 'We're going to see them fight for the first time.' Young Elesis thought to herself. 'Oh wow! I'm feeling so excited to how strong I am and how strong that Elsword has become.'
"Aww. I want to fight too." Young Elsword whimpered.
"You'll get to fight some other time. This one is too dangerous. Let's just let our older selves handle this."
"Fine..."
They continued to watch as the older siblings were getting ready. They were now prepared as well as the Nasod Inspector.
"LET'S DO IT!" Elsword shouted as he and Elesis charged to the Nasod together. The battle begins!
The Nasod Inspector slammed his giant cannon vigorously onto the ground and fires, causing a series of giant explosions which was approaching to the siblings. Luckily, they already knew that technique when they last fought it and jumped high up to dodge it. Elesis jumped over the Nasod while Elsword stayed on the front side.
"Armor Break!"
"Power Break!"
The El-siblings both attacked the Nasod as well as they broke it's defence at the same time. They both did countless slashes at it to stun the Nasod so it couldn't do anything. That's when both of them were ready for the giant offence.
"Flame Geyser!" Elsword slammed the ground to create a pillar of fire greatly damaging the Nasod.
"Power Burster!" Elesis stroke hard on the ground to create a pillar of fire similar to Elsword's.
The Nasod Inspector was sent high in the air because of their attacks. That was Elsword and Elesis's chance to jump high above the Nasod and landed a strong vertical slash on it, forcing it down very fast and crash to the ground. As they landed, the siblings did a hi-five for the cunning plan they did.
'Wow! So this is their power. Amazing!' Young Elesis couldn't feel nothing but excitement. She never knew their older selves could be so capable in defeating strong opponents. Young Elsword watched with sparkles in his eyes. 'He seems excited as well.' Elesis thought to herself when she saw him.
As the smoke faded away, they noticed the Nasod Inspector was still functional and has activate Defence Mode.
"Cheap shot!" Elsword gritted his teeth a little as he made a 'tsk'.
"We'll have to lower its defence again as use magic attacks. It is weak to them after all." Elesis instructed.
The Nasod Inspector then aims his mini-cannon towards the ceiling and fires, causing yellow flares to start floating down slowly. The El-Siblings carefully ran passed the flares as they were getting closer to the Nasod.
He then fires a giant laser on them. It was ridiculously fast, but there was just enough time for Elsword to Dodge Roll and Elesis to Dodge and Slash the Nasod Inspector.
"Rushing Sword!" Elesis shouted as she slashed him with a penetrating cut and got behind him again. She and Elsword hit him with Armor Break and Power Break to decrease his defence again. Then they were ready to use magic attacks.
"Triple Geyser!" Elsword slammed the ground to create three pillars of fire.
"Mega Burster!" Elesis stroke hard on the ground to create a gigantic pillar of fire.
Once again, Elsword and Elesis's stronger magic attacks sent the Nasod Inspector high up but higher than last time. This time, only Elesis jumped above him while Elsword was still on the ground grinning as if he has a plan.
"Saber - Extinction!" Elesis slashes her sword downwards creating a slash wave damaging the Nasod a lot.
As the Nasod Inspector was falling down, it was Elsword's turn to do his part. "Sonic Blade!" He creates a circular shockwave by quickly swinging his sword around him. The sword hit the Nasod making him stunned by the shockwave. It was their chance to now attack.
"Now! Before he gets back again! Finish with everything you have!" Elesis called out after landing on the ground. Elsword nodded and went Awakening Mode as well as Elesis did the same. They both charged their energy together as red aura of Destruction and Annihilation were flowing through them. Finally they unleashed their final attack.
"Double Slash!"
"Judgement Drive (Sword of Judgement)!"
Both of them stroke the Nasod with a stunning slash and then finish him off with a giant strong final slash. Unknowingly, the siblings activated their skills simultaneously as Elesis spots the power between Double Slash and Sword of Judgement joining together as one, making a gigantic explosion. It was so strong and big, it almost covered the entire area. Noboy could even see what was going on because the light was too bright and the force of the explosion was too strong. Elsword and Elesis stabbed their swords onto the ground and held onto them tightly to avoid moving backwards by the explosion. The younger El-Siblings took cover behind the metal as Young Elesis holds tightly on her little brother.
Several seconds after the explosion was finally fading away. The older siblings lifted themselves up after panting a couple of times, and looked around for the Nasod Inspector. But instead of the him, they saw numerous Nasod parts falling down on them.
"Are these...?" Elsword questions but couldn't finish.
"Yeah! They're his..." Elesis answered.
"Then that means...we won?"
"...Yeah"
"We won... WE WON!" Elsword lifted his arms up and a called out with victory.
The younger siblings saw what they have done and hugged each as they spun around together. As for the older siblings, they both did the same thing together. After they finished, both of them realised what they were doing as they looked at each other very closely. They immediately blushed deep red as they let go of each other.
"S-Sorry! That totally came out of nowhere..." Elsword stammered.
"N-No! I'm sorry for doing that." Elesis replied back while blushing.
'Why do I sense a weird feeling towards those two.' Young Elesis thought to herself. 'I mean they're siblings as well as us, and normally it's okay to hug each like that, even if they're the opposite sex. So why are they embarrassed. Do they have some sort of...' She pasued for a bit and thought of something way too high... as if they were not siblings but something else. 'N-Nah! I'm pretty sure I'm just thinking too much.' She shook her head.
"Are you two okay?" Elesis asked when she came to them.
"Ah! Yeah! We're fine!" The younger Elesis stammered a bit.
"That was amazing! You guys are really strong!" Young Elsword cried with sparkles in his eyes.
"Well, we're are you from the future, so it's likely we'd grow stronger now and then." Elsword smiled as he scratched his head.
"True." Elesis slightly giggled.
"Let's just find a way out of here already." Young Elesis stammered who was slightly embarrassed a bit.
"Ok ok ok! Let's go!"
So forth they continue their journey. Their walk didn't last long until the place got darker as they reached to a dead end.
"DEAD END!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?" Elsword shouted.
"Hold on! I see a light on the edges on that big rock that is blocking the path." Elesis explained. "If we can push it, we might be able to get out."
"That just might work." Young Elesis agreed.
So all four of them pushed the big rock together. The rock didn't move since it was so heavy, but the four did not give up. They wanted to get out of the laboratory as soon as possible.
"You know, if rocks weren't that heavy, we wouldn't be struggling with them, we could perhaps lift them." Young Elsword said as he was bored when silence was around.
"Stop complaining and push." Young Elesis ordered him as her little brother kept his mouth shut.
As they pushed with all their might, the boulder slowly moves forward and right since the older siblings were pushing it on the left. As it moves, a bright light shines from the outside.
And done! The first boss is done and now they're out of Wally's Underground laboratory. What about Wally? I don't think I even want to talk about him since he's not anywhere.
To be honest, I'm not that good a labelling battle scripts. It's difficult to describe how the characters move to their positions and how they will attack. It's complicated nowadays.
The reason I let Elesis shout 'Judgement Drive' instead of Sword of Judgement is because she actually says it when activates Sword of Judgement.
Anyway, now that they're out, what will they find outside? The next chapter is waiting.
