Chapter 14 (S) first steps of the plan
For the past few months Emerald Sustrai and Mercury Black has been partners to each other and have also been working for someone name Cinder Falls. Through a string of events the both of them have found themselves doing several jobs for Cinder. From the set of assignments that they've been doing for a while they have learned that Cinder has big plans on the horizon and wants to make sure that everything is prepared.
"So how long do you think this'll take? I have 100 lien that says this'll take at least a whole day because you're lost." Mercury had said in a mocking tone
"I don't see you trying to help me Mercury, so you can either lead us in the right direction or you can shut up." Emerald had said in an irritated tone
"My talking is what's helping me pass the time until we find the group of runaway White Fang Members. So, I guess you're stuck with my lovely voice until we get to our destination." Mercury had said to Emerald in a mocking tone
"Whatever, let's just get this assignment over with." Emerald had said in an even more frustrated tone
"By the way what's your thoughts on Hazama?" Mercury had asked in a curious tone
"He's creepy and sneaky enough to remind me of a snake for some reason. To be honest I'm surprised that he's not a Faunus." Emerald had answered
"That statement implies that all reptile Faunus are creepy and sneaky. I thought you weren't a racist great thief Emerald." Mercury had said in a mocking tone
"You know what I mean Mercury, still I can't believe that his real name is . . ." Emerald had said before stopping after seeing a camp at a distance
"It looks like they had set up camp let's go and wait for them." Mercury had said before he and Emerald went to the small camp and hid themselves
A few minutes had passed after Emerald and Mercury had found the small camp of the White Fang runaways. While they were waiting four Faunus had returned to the camp and from the look of things they had went hunting. Though they appear to be simple White Fang members they are armed with a rifle and various melee weapons.
"Doesn't look like we have a good haul but it should last until we get to the nearest airship port." A Dog Faunus had said while carrying a large bag
"Are you sure we shouldn't go to the authorities? I mean they can protect us and deal with the White Fang members." A Rat Faunus had said to the group
"We can't do that, they will have us arrested once they find out what we've done for the White Fang. Not to mention that we had only gotten away because that kid and his oversized doll was distracted with the others. If the other White Fang members find us they will kill us since they don't tolerate runaways." A horse Faunus had said
"All the more reason for us to keep going before someone finds us here." A bear Faunus had said in a calm tone
"It's a bit too late for that." Mercury had said before jumping down from the tree surprising the four members.
"Who are you, and what do you want from us?" The rat Faunus had said to Mercury in a panicked tone
"Well I had heard through the grapevine that a certain group of Faunus had decided to run away. Now I don't know if you've forgotten but your White Fang brothers and sisters don't take to kindly to runaways. Now it falls on yours truly to deal with a few loose animals." Mercury had said in a mocking tone
After a brief moment the rat Faunus had leaped towards Mercury at a very high speed. Once the rat Faunus had gotten close Mercury had flipped backwards kicking the Rat Faunus upward. Then Mercury had started to rapidly shoot at the him with his boots and in a few seconds the rat Faunus had fallen to the ground but he wasn't moving.
The dog Faunus had gotten a rifle and proceeded to shoot at Mercury. Unfortunately for her, Mercury had decided to run around the camp dodging the shots at high speed. As Mercury was running he had gotten closer to the dog Faunus and was prepared to attack her. The horse Faunus had figured out what Mercury was trying to do and he jumped very high into the air and made a diving kick at Mercury. A quick second after noticing the Horse Faunus attack, Mercury had jumped into the air as well and his feet and the Horse Faunus's feet had collided with each other.
"He's stronger than I thought." The dog Faunus had said as she was reloading. After reloading her rifle the dog Faunus had taken a quick sniff of the air and noticed something odd.
"He's not alone, someone else is here with him hiding!" The dog Faunus had said in a panicked tone
Before the bear Faunus could ask her for more details she was pulled away from the other Faunus into the forest. Though she was away from the group she wasn't pulled away too far and was still relatively close to the others. However, before she could attack Mercury and help her friends she lost sight of all of them because they all disappeared in an instant in front of her very eyes. The bear Faunus was confused as to why all of them disappeared but did not panic. Though before she could do anything further she felt a strong slash through her back. She couldn't do anything and the next second she fell down. Though before she lost consciousness she saw a dark skinned young woman wearing green and white walking towards the group of Faunus that is fighting Mercury before jumping into the trees.
Mercury has consistently parried the attacks from the horse Faunus while dodging the rifle shots from the Dog Faunus. After kicking the Horse Faunus away, Mercury had dashed towards the Dog Faunus while dodging the shots from the rifle. Before getting too close Mercury had slid under the shots and had gotten closer to the Dog Faunus at a very fast speed with the Dog Faunus being unable to do anything to attack Mercury. In a few seconds Mercury had slid under the Dog Faunus managing to trip her up causing her to fall. Though before she hit the ground Mercury had hit her stomach with a very strong blast from his boots. The blast had knocked the dog Faunus back a good distance but before Mercury could finish her off he had blocked a kick from the horse Faunus.
After blocking the hit Mercury had jumped over the horse Faunus managing to get behind him. Then Mercury had jumped kicked the Faunus pushing him towards the dog Faunus before landing. After recovering Mercury had dashed towards both the dog and horse Faunus and delivered a very powerful kick to finish the both of them off. After the both of them had landed their bodies had stopped moving indicating that the both of them are dead.
"Well that went well, a bit easier than I thought to be honest." Mercury had said in a casual tone
"Really, I counted at least two times when you needed my help." Emerald had said in a sarcastic tone
"But as you can see I had it under control, wait is that a hint of concern I hear in your voice Emerald? I knew it you really do want me." Mercury had said in a mocking tone before getting punched in the arm by Emerald. As the two were walking away from the camp the both of them had heard a loud roar. When they both turned to see the source of the roar they saw that the roar came from the bear Faunus from earlier.
"YOU TWO KILLED THEM!" The bear Faunus yelled with a great amount of fury in her voice before charging at the duo. A brief second after charging both Mercury and Emerald had attacked the bear Faunus with a powerful attack finishing her off quickly.
After a few minutes both Emerald and Mercury had walked a good distance away from the camp and the deeper into the forest that the both of them are in. Once the both of them see that they are alone they decided to make a call to Cinder to inform her that the runaway White Fang members are taken care of.
"Yes?" Cinder had said answering the call
"It's done ma'am those runaways won't be a problem anymore." Emerald has told Cinder over the scroll
"Excellent work both of you, now there aren't any loose ends to worry about with the White Fang members in Atlus. Roman Torchwick is to deal with a runaway in Vale but that is none of your concern. The both of you did well." Cinder had said in a pleased tone
"Do you want us to go to Vale then Cinder?" Emerald had asked
"Not yet, there is another assignment both of you must do and this is a top priority. Hazama will be patched through so he can give you two more details." Cinder had said before Hazama was patched through the scroll
"Hello, can everyone hear me?" Hazama had said as he was put on the scroll line with Cinder while speaking to Emerald and Mercury
"We can hear you." Mercury had answered
"That's good, I hate to have this mission briefing be plagued with miscommunication because of a bad reception." Hazama had said over the scroll line
"What is it that you want us both to do?" Emerald had asked slightly curious
"Well the task is quite simple really. You see a legendary hero has resurfaced and he is on the move. Now as things stand he can't stop what has already begun since he's late to the party. However, he is still strong enough to be a real pain and the last thing we need to do is to underestimate Hakumen of all people. Since him and that cat are going to start causing us problems soon we need someone who can go toe to toe against Hakumen and I know just the person." Hazama had explained to Emerald and Mercury
"This person you have in mind, do you think he can kill Hakumen?" Emerald had asked in a slightly curious tone
"It's hard to say, but the guy can keep Hakumen busy for a good while so that armored prick won't be too much of a big problem for us in the long run. Now the person you need to get was one of Remnant's biggest problems since he killed a lot of civilians, Huntsman and Huntresses. So I must advise you two to be very careful when you two are freeing him from his prison." Hazama had told Emerald and Mercury
"Wait we're busting someone out from jail? This assignment is sounding a lot easier said than done." Mercury had said with Emerald nodding agreeing with him
"Don't worry the both of you aren't going to jail, the both of you will be going to a special prison that is housing one person. Contact me once you two arrive so I can help with the security systems since there will be some guard robots there." Hazama had said before hanging up
"I expect the both of you to fully cooperate with Hazama for this assignment. I will meet up with all of you after the assignment." Cinder had said to the duo
"Don't worry ma'am we won't let you down." Emerald had said
"I know you won't." Cinder had said before hanging up
"Looks like we'll have our work cut out for us." Mercury had said before leaving with Emerald
(Facility entrance)
It had only taken Emerald and Mercury a few hours to get to the location that was sent to them by Hazama. The both of them are very curious about the person that they were sent to free but they are also cautious since they know nothing about the person other than the fact that years ago, he was one of Remnant's biggest problems. As the two were walking mentally preparing themselves for whatever they will find they came across a bunker that looks highly advanced. After confirming the location they had called Hazama to get further instructions.
"Hazama are you there?" Emerald had asked
"I'm here and I see that the both of you have managed to arrive at the location." Hazama had said
"What do you want us both to do from here?" Mercury had asked
"First the both of you are going to go inside and follow the route I will send to you two shortly. The both of you don't have to worry about cameras because using some hacking I had put them on a feedback loop. I had also managed to disable the alarms but there could be a few hidden ones I couldn't disable so I highly recommend that you two exercise caution." Hazama had instructed to both Emerald and Mercury
After hearing the instructions both Emerald and Mercury had entered the facility and proceeded to follow the route that was given to the both of them. As both Emerald and Mercury had followed the route they made sure to go through the facility hallway with caution in case there were some guards that were on patrol. As they were walking they had noticed a guard that was walking through the hallway and was armed with a rifle.
After seeing the robot guard Mercury had jumped onto a wall and dive kick the robot destroying it in one hit. The noise had attracted the attention of the other robots and can be heard coming to the location of the destroyed. Mercury had looked around quickly and found a vent, quickly getting an idea. After seeing the vent Mercury had blasted the vent open dived into it to get out of sight before the robot guards came.
Once the robot guards had arrived they had immediately went to the destroyed robot and scanned the area. Unfortunately for them the scanning did not last long because Emerald had arrived and quickly slashed at the robot guards managing to destroy a good number of them without being detected. The last robot guard that she didn't destroy was quickly dealt with by Mercury as he was getting out of the vent.
"Well that was fun." Mercury had said in a casual tone
"Come on let's get to the location and before more of those guards shows up." Emerald had said before her and Mercury continued following the route
After a few more minutes of following the route and avoiding the robot guards along the way. Emerald and Mercury had managed to come across a large door that looks very sturdy. When the two of them looked at the door they noticed that along with the sturdy look there are also a large number of locks on the door itself. Emerald and Mercury sees that whatever is locked up behind this door must be very dangerous and powerful if such a door is made for this person.
"Wow I'd hate to be the person who has to be locked up in there." Mercury had said
"This is a good time to call Hazama." Emerald had said before using her scroll
"Hello Emerald and Mercury, how are things going on your end?" Hazama had asked
"We followed the route you gave us and we came across a locked door. I don't think either me or Mercury have anything that will break it down. What else are we supposed to do?" Emerald had asked
"You should see a computer console at the corner of the door. Once you see it put in the code I will text you in a few seconds." Hazama had said before hanging up and sending the text message that has the code
"Alright I got the code now all I have to do is put it in and then. . ." Emerald had said as she was putting the code in. After the code was put into the computer the large sturdy door had started to open up slowly after unlocking all the locks. When the door had cracked opened Emerald and Mercury had felt a deadly cold air. The air was so cold and strong that if it wasn't for their aura they would either pass out or die.
"The text I received also says that there is another computer console inside and I need to put the second code in." Emerald had said while trying to keep herself warm
Once the two had stepped inside they felt that the inside of the room was more frigid than the outside. They couldn't believe how cold the room was and find it very hard to believe that someone is sealed inside this very room. As the two were looking around they saw the computer console and Emerald had decided to put the code in.
After the code was put into the console the room had suddenly made some noise. Then after a few seconds the room had moved everything from the center of the room and the floor at the center had opened up. Then a capsule had risen from the ground and inside it sleeps a large man with brown skin with blue hair. Above the man holds a description which has the man's name.
"It says Azrael the mad dog." Emerald had said reading the name
"Wait we're freeing the Mad Dog Azreal. Do you know who he is Emerald?" Mercury had said in an impressed tone
"No I assume from your tone that you know about him?" Emerald had asked
"Azrael is one of the strongest people in the world and he used to be a soldier. However, the reason he is so infamous is that when he is on the battlefield he will kill anyone regardless whether or not they are friend or foe. In fact, you know how kids hear about certain stories to stop them from misbehaving like for example the boogeyman. Well Azrael is the Boogeyman to every Huntsman and Huntress and the scary part is that NOBODY has seen him at his full strength. I'm starting to see why Hazama want us to free this guy, but I hope he doesn't go berserk on us. After all he is called the Mad Dog for a reason." Mercury had explained in an amused tone
"Guess we'll find out soon enough." Emerald had said before putting in the code that will free Azrael
Azrael was in a deep slumber for a very long time. During his slumber that lastd for many years he is still reliving the dream of his fight against the Huntsman and Huntresses that sealed him in the first place. Three Huntsman had stood out to Azrael in his dream. One of the Huntsman is a man with black hair who is armed with a scythe, another is a metallic man with a pistol, and the third is a large man with red skin wearing glasses. He remember fighting many other Huntsman and Huntresses but those three stood out to him. Before Azrael could relive his memories of his battles and dream of a good fight he felt his body being slightly warmer. Then he was able to move his body and before he realized it he was out of the capsule that he was sealed in.
"Hmm my body feels strange, I am free yet my senses feels odd. In fact, it feels like an illusion." Azrael had said before grabbing Emerald from where she was despite her using her semblance on Azrael to stay hidden. Mercury had tried to attack Azrael but his kick did nothing since Mercury was knocked back from Azrael's skin. Then in an instant Azrael had grabbed Mercury by his neck and is now holding both Emerald and Mercury.
"Your illusions do not affect me in any way kid. So, tell me who sent you and you might live." Azrael had demanded
"We were sent to free you, someone wants to speak with you and make you an offer." Emerald had said
"I see well lets not keep your boss waiting." Azrael had said before letting the both of them go
(The forest near the Facility)
A couple of minutes after Azrael, Emerald, and Mercury had left the facility they had found themselves inside a forest. Azrael had looked around the area and noticed that there is some tension in the air. After a brief moment Azrael had swung his arm and smacked a tree away from his path. After doing so he had noticed the top half of one of the robot guards and realized something.
"An alarm was triggered some people are waiting to ambush us. By my count it looks like eight people with five of them being machines. Tch this sounds like a boring exercise but it is a chance for me to stretch." Azrael had said before stomping the ground causing the robot soldiers and two regular soldiers to come out of hiding.
"Each of you are in a restricted area, stand down and surrender or we will have no choice but to use aggressive action." One of the soldiers had said
"Try me." Azrael had said before stretching his arms out send a small shockwave. After a moment Azrael had moved to each of the robot soldiers and destroyed them with relative ease. The soldier who was close to him had tried to attack him with his baton. The attack had unfortunately did nothing to Azrael and instead knocked the soldier back. Azrael had noticed the soldier and hit him with a light kick. Though the kick was light it felt powerful to the soldier and sent him back crashing through several trees in the process.
The remaining soldier had fired his rifle at Azrael but each shot felt like small pellets hitting a steel door. Azrael had looked at the soldier not noticing and caring about the rifle shots hitting him. Azrael had moved quickly in front of the soldier and lightly tapped him on his shoulder. The tap felt like a sledgehammer hitting the whole right side of his body and the soldier ended up collapsing. After he fell he had noticed all of the robot guards destroyed and his partner dead lying down on a broken tree.
"What are you?" The soldier had asked with fear in his eyes
"Bored." Azrael had said before stomping the soldier. Emerald and Mercury had looked at the fighting sight and had a stunned look on their faces. They had slowly realized that Azrael is very powerful and noticed that he had managed to deal with everyone without even trying.
"Do you like what you see?" Azreal had said out loud confusing Emerald and Mercury. After a second Cinder had jumped down from one of the trees and started to clap at Azrael for his actions earlier.
"Yes I am very impressed with your skill and power Azrael." Cinder had said
"I know you sent those two to free me now tell me what it is you want." Azrael had said in a bored and disinterested tone
"Several of my associates have heard of your talents and we believe that you partnering with us will be beneficial to all parties. I would like to give you more details of our current plans but only if you agree to work with us." Cinder had said
"What do you have to offer me." Azrael had said slightly intrigued
"If all goes well, then we will ensure that your actions will be well rewarded especially with the plans we have for the world." Cinder had said
"I don't care about your world plans all I want is to have fun and my fun is fighting someone powerful. If I work with you can you promise that I can fight a powerful warrior?" Azrael had said
"You seek to fight powerful opponents, if that's the case then I know someone who will be perfect for you. Also once all is said we will make sure that you will be properly compensated. So tell me Azrael what will it be?" Cinder had said
"Hehehehe I see that your capable of getting me what I want. Alright then I'll join you and your associates. By the way I sense that your power is incomplete, I have a good idea of why so once you get the other half I hope you'll fight me one day. After all it has been years since I fought one of the Maidens." Azrael had said which shocked Cinder, Emerald, and Mercury
"You know about the Maidens and fought one of them?" Cinder had said
"Yeah but she got away, I'm not mad though since fighting her was boring." Azrael had said which shocked everyone
"I would love to hear more of this story but we should get going before more soldiers arrive. Emerald, Mercury I want you two to meet me at the docks so we can get ready for our trip." Cinder had said before leaving with Azrael
(Altus Shipping Docks)
It had taken Emerald and Mercury hours to get to the Docks without drawing too much attention to themselves. After arriving they had decided to sit around a wait for Cinder to arrive so they can proceed to go to Vale.
"I am not looking forward to seeing Roman again, something about that guy gets on my nerves in every way." Emerald had said in an irritated tone
"The guy thinks he's some kind of big shot criminal but if only he could see the big picture then he'll realize that he's just small fry." Mercury had said
"Let's just give it time he'll be knocked off of his high horse soon enough." Emerald had said
"You know I heard that there is a White Fang runaway hiding in Vale named Tukson. I think that we should go and deal with him. It will knock Roman off of his high horse and it should impress Cinder. I see a win-win situation if this goes smoothly." Mercury had explained to Emerald
"Hmm well that does sound like a good idea. Not to mention it will be nice to see that wannabee crime boss squirm." Emerald had said to Mercury before spending a few minutes later of waiting for Cinder
"Excuse me." A young voice had said calling out to Emerald and Mercury
When the both of them had looked to see who it was they saw a young blonde kid wearing purple colored clothes and glasses who is Carl Clover. What made Carl stand out even further to Emerald and Mercury is that he is accompanied by a large purple metallic figure. Looking at the figure the both of them feel some intense animosity coming from the figure that felt like it was waiting and ready to attack. Though what held the figure back is the young boy who is near the figure.
"Yes how might I help you little boy, are you lost?" Emerald had asked Carl
"You see I was out running some personal errands and my sister felt something that was quite odd to her. I know that it's strange but would you mind if you could answer a question I have?" Carl had asked Emerald
"Oh um sure, I'll answer as best as I can." Emerald had said
"Do you know anything about the Maidens?" Carl had asked which slightly surprised Emerald and Mercury
"Oh um the only thing I know is from those fairy tales that I was told as a kid but that's it." Emerald had answered
"It's unfortunate that you told me that answer. Because you see I believe that you know more than your telling me. In fact my sister is telling me that your lying." Carl had said in an intense tone
"I'm telling you the truth kid I'm . . ." Emerald had said before jumping backwards to avoid a hit from the purple figure Nirvana
"You see my sister senses abnormal aura on you, so that leads me to have believe one of two scenarios either you have the abnormal aura or you have been around someone recently who has it. That power will lead me to my father and I intend to make him suffer. So tell me the truth who has it." Carl had said in a tone indicating he is ready to fight
"Kid you do not know who you're dealing with. So I suggest you walk away or else you'll regret it." Mercury had said ready to fight as well
"SIS!" Carl had yelled out causing Nirvana to attack the two
After dodging the attack Emerald had proceeded to shoot at Carl as she was running around the docks. Nirvana had used its metallic body to defend Carl from the shots from Emerald. Mercury though had found himself in front of Carl and was prepared to give him a direct kick. Though before Mercury could attack he noticed a few small sized dolls near Carl and they were armed with a weapon. After a brief second they all fired flamethrowers at Mercury causing him to get away quickly before he got burned by the flames.
Mercury had then proceeded to shoot at Carl with his boots and each shot had reached Carl. Though to Mercury's surprise he had noticed that Carl had a mechanical shield up that protect Carl from Mercury's shots. Emerald had changed her plan from attacking Carl at a distance to attacking him close up. Though before she could get close Nirvana had extended its claws and attacked Emerald. Though with good reflexes Emerald was successful in dodging each attack from the claw and had gotten closer to Carl.
Unfortunately for Emerald, Nirvana had noticed Emerald and hit her with a punch that was strong enough to knock her back far. After recovering Emerald had decided to use her semblance to mess with Carl's senses so he could bring Nirvana to a different location.
"Ada they disappeared do you know what happened to them?" Carl had asked the metallic figure
"I see so one of them is using an illusion to mess with me. Thanks sis I'll be careful now that I know your with me." Carl had said
"It looks like he can talk to that doll and not only that but that doll is immune to my semblance, this isn't good." Emerald had thought to herself
Mercury was doing a little better than Emerald but only a little. After another failed shot, He had decided to hide behind one of the metal crates so he could think of a plan. Then after seeing a container being held above him it has given him an idea. Mercury had jumped to the container above and using the container and his strength he had launched himself towards Carl at high speed prepared to give him a strong and fast dive kick. Once Mercury had kicked Carl he had managed to not only break the mechanical shield but also knock Carl back. Though before Carl could get far Nirvana had caught Carl.
"Hmm the sound of his boots hitting my shield. I see what I can do now. Legs Deactivate." Carl had said which confused Mercury for a second. Though after a brief moment Mercury had fallen over being unable to move.
"What did he do?" Mercury had said trying to get up but being unable to. Though before Mercury could try to do anything further Nirvana had teleported near Mercury and attacked his mechanical legs.
After seeing what happened Emerald realized that Carl's Semblance has the power to control technology. Though before Emerald could attack Carl, Nirvana had teleported in front of her and grabbed her by her neck and raised her up. What Emerald saw next is Carl walking closer to her.
"I could have had you and your friend killed but I need you two alive for information. Now you two will tell me what you know about the Maidens and if possible tell me where my father is." Carl had said in a sinister tone. Before he could question Emerald further, Nirvana had thrown Emerald near Mercury and caught an arrow that was heading towards Carl.
When everyone looked to see who made the shot they all saw that it was Cinder who shot the Arrow at Carl. After seeing Cinder Nirvana had focused its gazed entirely on her and was proceeded to go towards Cinder with Carl following.
"I see that you have an impressive weapon at your disposal child. It's a shame that you choose to rely on it knowing that its power is not truly yours." Cinder had said
"My sister is no weapon and I would appreciate it if you remember that fact. Though since we are on the topic of using a power that is not our own then you are a hypocrite. My sister tells me that she senses a Maiden power within you and that it is incomplete. If I had to make an educated guess, I'd say that you had stolen the power of the Maiden from its rightful owner but the process was interrupted and you could only claim half of it." Carl had said slightly irritating Cinder before she fired at Carl
Nirvana had blocked the shot and had extended its claws to attack Cinder. Acting quickly Cinder had gracefully dodged each attack From Nirvana. Though she did not notice five smaller dolls that are armed with weapons and proceeded to fire at Cinder. Fortunately for Cinder, she had generated a barrier and blocked the shots from the small dolls. Cinder had then proceeded to send a strong fire wave destroying the dolls in one move.
"Truth be told I don't care how you gained your power but I do know that you have information so tell me, where is my father." Carl had said in a sinister tone
"I don't know what you're talking about." Cinder had said before charging towards Carl
As Cinder was charging Nirvana was doing the same thing and the two had clashed against each other. After the clash the two had proceeded to fight against each other and showing no sign of slowing down. After pushing each other back Cinder has gotten an idea and proceeded to shoot several arrows into the sky. After that she had proceeded to attack Nirvana with her swords and the two fought against each other intensely. Then after a brief moment Cinder had Jumped back and shot a fireball At Nirvana only to be blocked. After the attack Cinder had smirked after a quick glance at Carl.
When Carl had wondered why Cinder would smirk he had noticed that the arrows that Cinder had fired into the air earlier had landed near Carl and after a second they all exploded. Carl was push back a good distance and after Nirvana had turned to tend to Carl Cinder had launched a powerful attack at Nirvana and pushed it back a good distance near Carl. Unfortunately, Nirvana was disable unable to move and Carl was unconscious.
"It's a shame that one so young has to know the embrace of death so quickly but if you are prepared to fight then you should know the consequences." Cinder had said getting ready to fire an arrow at Carl
"That will be quite enough Cinder." A male voice had said getting Cinder's attention as well as Mercury and Emerald. When they all looked at the source of the voice they saw that it was an adult blonde male wearing what appears to be a mask. Though what made the man stand out is that he is accompanied by a metallic figure but it is colored crimson
"Is there a problem Relius?" Cinder had asked
"I want to see how much further his strength can grow. The fact that he followed my bread crumbs and has deduced so much shows that he has potential. He even managed to fix his sister." Relius had said
"You monster, I've finally found you." Carl had said barely able to stand up
"Ah it seems that you still have enough strength to stand up Carl." Relius had said
"I had looked for you, and now that I've found you you will pay for what you've done to my sister." Carl had said in an angry tone
"Ah I remember now, the Aura Weapon Nirvana. Your sister has volunteered for the process and I have learned much from the process." Relius had said
"YOU TURNED HER INTO A MACHINE, I WILL NEVER FORGET WHAT I SAW THAT DAY! I KNOW THAT YOU HAVEN'T FOGETTEN EITHER FATHER!" Carl had yelled surprising Emerald and Mercury who heard the whole thing
"Wow and I thought my dad was terrible." Mercury had thought to himself while listening
"I see that you hate me my boy, but your hate is a candle to the sun." Relius had said
After a moment Nirvana had restored some of its energy and Carl commanded it to attack Relius. Though after a second the crimson colored Nirvana had clashed against the purple colored Nirvana and was ready to fight.
"Your Aura Weapon is connected to your aura Carl, I assume that your fight against Cinder has weakened you greatly and as a result your sister is weakened as well. Though I should do the honors of introducing you at least. Meet my greatest creation the very thing I have desired, something your Aura Weapon doesn't compare to. I introduce to you Fluctus Redactum: Ignis." Relius had said
"Wait Ignis, you monster you went that far! I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!" Carl had yelled with fury in his voice
"If we are ever to see each other again then I shall tell you more." Relius had said before Ignis had punched Nirvana and attacked Carl. With too little strength and aura left Carl ended up being unconscious.
After knocking out Carl Relius had proceeded to walk towards Emerald and Mercury and glanced at Mercury's mechanical legs After the glance Cinder had walked towards the two as well.
"It should take a few hours to repair your legs though you and your friend must rest for a couple of weeks if you want to avoid suspicion and recover your strength." Relius had said
"What about the kid he could expose us before we can do anything." Mercury had said
"He knows nothing and does not know who we are nor what we are planning. Besides in the unlikely scenario that he talks about what happened here. Each of you were only defending yourselves after all he does have an Aura Weapon and they hold great power. Now let's go before someone arrives." Relius had said before he teleported him, Cinder, Emerald, and Mercury away from the area.

"My goodness this child is injured!" Litchi had said after seeing Carl's injured before using her scroll to call someone
"Linhua I need you to call your boss and get the clinic to open up I have a kid here who needs immediate medical attention. I will also assist with the treatment I will get there as soon as I can." Litchi had said before hanging up and getting to Carl only for Nirvana to block her way
"Listen I don't know who you are but the kid needs help. I see that you are damaged as well and whatever happened I see that you were protecting this child. Please let me help him, I promise I will do everything within my power to give him the best treatment." Litchi had said causing Nirvana to stand aside and let her get Carl.
"Thank you he will be taken care of. If you want you can come with me to the clinic." Litchi had said before running to the clinic while holding Carl while Nirvana followed them
(A/N)
I have been given some good suggestions about the two vs two sparring battles and I noticed a common request for certain brothers to work together. There is still time for the requests and a fair heads up the two vs two spars will not happen next chapter but it will happen very soon and it will not be a long wait. Also, once this story reaches volume two then there will be more varied sparring battles.
One last thing in an upcoming chapter I will post a poll about a chapter concept I am thinking about but I want to get to a good point in this story so I can properly prepare for that chapter since it will take place within volume two.
So read and review
Thank you
