Distortion 25
In an observation room, Hunter and Noel were standing inside it, looking at a one way glass window at a concerning sight. They had just returned from their adventure to help Makoto reforge the blade that she had found back into it's original shape. What they had not accounted for was to be separated from her while trying to find this weapon, ending up lost inside the cave complex and by the time they found her, had to pry her away from what seemed like a black gooey mass, the reforged blade by her side.
At that moment, Professor Kokonoe entered the observation room, standing a distance from them as she chewed on the lollipop that was in her mouth. "Tell me what happened in as many words as you can what on earth happened out there." Kokonoe said bluntly as Hunter and Noel looked at each other, unsure to explain exactly what they had experienced. The looks Hunter and Noel gave her as they struggled to come up with a logical explanation to what they saw were enough to tell Kokonoe to back off the conversation.
"The important thing is that you brought Makoto Nanaya back… even if she is in her current state." Kokonoe said as another person decided to enter in the room at that moment. "You can say that again, I could barely recognize her with her current look." Kagura Mutsuki said as this alarmed Hunter in particular as Kagura leaned his back on the observation glass window and tilted his head to look at Makoto himself.
While her general appearance had not changed, what had clearly changed was the color of her hair. Instead of being the normal brown hair it usually was, it had turned to pure white with red highlights appearing where lighter shades of brown should have been. It wasn't just her hair that had gotten a massive change as a small amount of black mass that Hunter had pulled Makoto out from remained, gluing itself to her as no amount of pulling and prying from the mechanical machines could get the stuff off.
"I always knew she was the reckless type but this is overkill even for her." Kagura said, scratching his head as he did not know how to interpret the situation in front of him. "While I am glad she is here safe and sound, seeing her like this doesn't make things any better. Especially for you guys." Kagura said, looking right at Hunter and Noel, Makoto's two friends and the only other people who saw what truly happened to her in that cave.
"Please. Can you tell us anything about Makoto's current condition, anything that may help us to actually understand what is going on with her?" Noel questioned as she had hoped that Kokonoe of all people would be able to make sense of what was happening with her knowledge of science. Kokonoe herself could feel the expectant eyes of Makoto's best friends fall on her as she bit down hard on the lollipop, cracking it as she stared right back at Makoto, biting down on her lip.
"In her current state, she's basically in a comatose state from what is clearly a near death experience. Normally I would say it's up to her if she awakens… if she awakens that is." Kokonoe said as she took a deep breath, feeling the eyes of Hunter and Noel stare harder at her, their want for answers clearly there. "You said that you found her with that blade stuck inside her right? So I decided to do a simple Ars Magus aptitude test on it see if I can find anything on it."
"An Ars Magus Aptitude test? Like what the NOL does for it's students when they come in?" Noel said as Hunter scratched his head at that, his face already telling the question Kokonoe expected. "Yes, I did it because I wanted to test a simple theory and what I found is that it had the same Ars Magus apitutde results as Makoto did when she first did her Ars Magus Aptitude test." Kokonoe explained as this made both Noel and Hunter look at each other even more confused, wanting to know desperately what a couple of numbers actually mean for their best friend.
"It means that whatever that thing Makoto found is, it has fused with with her to an extent. More specifically with her soul for something. That's all I can really say at the moment here because the situation we are dealing with is something beyond even my own understanding at the moment." Kokonoe said, understanding her answer will prove unsatisfactory towards Noel and Hunter as Hunter slowly approached her.
"What do you mean fused with her soul? Are you trying to say that weapon somehow has Makoto's soul deep within it?!" Hunter demanded as Kagura reflexively got in his way, using himself as a way to shield the professor from what he presumed to be was incoming harm coming her way. "That is exactly what I am saying. I don't know the specifics, but whatever that weapon is, it seems to have a similar process that made the Nox Nyctoreses and it sucked up Makoto's soul into itself. For what purpose I don't know other than without a soul, Makoto ain't waking up ever." Kokonoe said bluntly as Hunter smashed his hand on the glass panel as hard as he could, frustration building up within him.
"So what can we do to free Makoto's soul from being trapped this weapon holding her soul in?!" Noel questioned as Kokonoe scratched her head at that. "There is no way to free a soul that is absorbed by a weapon. Unless you have intricate knowledge of the soul, one cannot hope to interact with souls, let alone reuniting a body missing a soul with it's lost soul." Rachel Alucard responded, appearing in the room in her trademark rose petals teleportation that was soon followed by her sitting down on Nago who had immediately became a chair for her.
Everyone in the room was alarmed to see Rachel appear at that moment, and also understanding of the current situation she was in. "Do not worry though, Makoto Nanaya is very well used to having her soul displaced from her body and drifting into places it shouldn't be. She has done so once already when she stood too close to a cauldron back in Ibukido." Rachel explained as Noel shook her head at that. "Ibukido… What was she doing at Ibukido? And why was she near a cauldron!?" Noel questioned as Rachel simply remained calm.
"Regardless of what she was doing there, her soul is strong and hardy, having survived a trip through the boundary which would have ripped apart most souls. So her soul residing in the weapon is not the immediate cause of concern that you all should have right now." Rachel explained, side stepping around Noel's question. "The more important question is the reason why Makoto Nanaya's soul is currently residing in a place that is not her own body. It could be for many reasons but I suspect the weapon itself is the main reason." Rachel explained as Hunter kept quiet hearing that, pondering what she had just said.
"For the time being, Makoto Nanaya will be safe inside this room so long as we keep both her and the weapon safe from any kind of harm." Rachel said as Hunter simply nodded his head hearing that. "In the mean time, we should try to focus on our own thing is what you're going to say right?" Hunter said as Rachel was surprised to hear such a calm response from a man who normally would be hasty to get answers to her cryptic choice of words.
"I know it's not like me… but if Makoto's the way she is because she is trying to get back the person she loves then there is nothing we can do about it but help her to the best of our abilities. That means keeping her and that thing safe…" Hunter said as his hand drifted towards the hilt of Draco, resting on his hip as Rachel couldn't help but be intrigued by his choice of words. "Do the words you speak reflect your own thoughts or the thoughts of Draco right now?" Rachel asked as Noel couldn't help but react to that, about to defend him before Hunter raised his hand to stop her.
"Both Rachel. Sure I would like to ask whatever that thing is how to undo what it did to Draco but at the same time, I care about the safety of my friend and won't do anything to jeopardize her survival in any manner. I am simply doing what I can in this shitty situation at the end of the day…" Hunter said, taking a deep breath after saying that as Rachel couldn't help but smile at that slightly. "Truly you have grown to be a well rounded individual Hunter Long. That is your best dignified response yet." Rachel commented as Hunter simply flinched hearing that.
"H-Hey now… that's not fair teasing me in a situation like this." Hunter complained as he did not expect nice words to come from Rachel at that moment as he was more used to the cold Rachel rather than the Rachel who would give compliments here and there. Rachel simply chuckled some more, amused by his reaction as Noel couldn't help but relax hearing that. "Is there anything I can do to help Makoto with her current situation? With the eye of the Azure?" Noel questioned as she clenched her fist close to her chest and waited for Rachel to give her answer.
"It's simple really. All you need to do is just focus on saving that other friend of yours before something terrible happens to her. That is the very least you can do for the friend who is currently unconscious as we speak." Rachel simply replied as Noel thought about Rachel's words before looking right back at Makoto who continued to rest peacefully. Thinking about Rachel's choice of words, Noel herself couldn't help but feel reassured that her own goals had not changed but she needed to keep on moving with her own goals to see through to the end she desired.
"Thanks for the advice Rachel… I...I feel better a bit for now." Noel said as Rachel approached her and placed a hand on Noel's shoulder. "I understand you wish to help her. But this is something she must resolve on her own. Besides the woman has enough moxie inside her to overcome any obstacle. As a friend, her friend, place faith that said moxie will see her through." Rachel said reassuringly as both Hunter and Noel nodded and smiled hearing that.
"Well, if Makoto caught us moping like the way we are right now, she wouldn't let us off the hook." Hunter said, helping to lighten up Noel's mood as she couldn't help but appreciate Hunter's choice of words. "In any case, why don't we go and get some fresh air, if we spend all of our time watching our friend here, we might start getting wrinkles." Noel teased, trying to lighten up the mood as Hunter nodded his head, leaving the room along with her as it was just Rachel, Kokonoe and Kagura that were left in the room.
"Alright. Now that her friends are out of the room, tell us truthfully why Makoto is in the state she is in right now." Kagura questioned as Rachel simply approached the glass and observed Makoto Nanaya from the safety of the window. "I truthfully cannot say, what the professor said is the most likely conclusion. Makoto Nanaya's soul is truly resting within that blade. Which tells us that weapon is not any normal weapon if it is capable of holding a soul the way it is right now."
"So are you trying to suggest our weapon here is actually secretly a Nox Nyctores. A lost Nox like what Hunter is using?" Kagura suggested as Kokonoe couldn't help but sigh at that ridiculous notion. "If anything, our weapon here is clearly more of an Ars Armagus like the Izayoi rather than another lost Nox Nyctores. Draco is the only one that has ever earned that title and it took mother several attempts before she found a way to seal that thing away." Kokonoe replied, trying to move the conversation into something more sensible.
"For once, the black haired womanizer could be closer to the truth. The place that the eye, the woman with moxie and the flame went was where Draco had been originally sealed. From what I heard from the two, the reforged blade was remade there because when Miss Nanaya came to the cave before hand, it had still been broken." Rachel said as this made Kokonoe's eyes widen and Kagura to actually point at himself, surprised that he was correct about something for once.
"Tell me, did your mother ever decide to record the way that she sealed Draco? She would have written such a method should Draco had freed himself." Rachel suggested as Kokonoe wanted to retort that her mother was not that much of an idiot to forget something as basic as sealing away a dangerous weapon like Draco but in her research and notes, she had found nothing to suggest that Draco had actually been sealed in any way.
"As much as I want to say you're wrong… Mother never did leave behind any notes as to how Draco was sealed. I honestly found it frustrating that I was unable to find anything of significance when it came to how Draco was finally defeated." Kokonoe said as Kagura simply nodded his head at that, knowing better to gloat at that moment at how his theory was considered correct over the actual professor who made it her living to create working theories.
"Then it appears our weapon in question may be involved with the history to be Draco. It could be pure coincidence that they found the missing piece at Draco's resting place, regardless, it is only fair we consider every possibility." Rachel said as Kokonoe and Kagura nodded their heads at that, deciding that was the best course of action that they needed to take at that very moment. "In that case, I can send some of my men to investigate and isolate that cave. Don't want certain masked individuals peeking their heads into stuff they shouldn't be at." Kagura suggested.
"In that case, I will go and get Tager ready to head out. You might as well have the extra muscle with your men out there." Kokonoe said as soon Kagura and Kokonoe took off to get their men ready for the situation in front of them. Rachel however waited for them to leave before she brought her attention to the individuals who were waiting for everyone else to leave. "Do you two have something that you need me for?" Rachel questioned as Es and Amy emerged from their hiding spots, Es's face remaining stoic while Amy's face was much more serious in comparison.
"Yes we do Rachel Alucard…" Amy said with a seriousness in her voice as Rachel simply took a small breath as Nago slinked his way towards her. "Be careful princess, they seem pretty angry to me." Gil said, the bat floating behind her as Rachel simply nodded her head at that, slapping the bat down in the process. "So… what do you require from me? I have not been intervening as much as I should be and my powers as an observer have been diminishing. Do you think I would have any further desire to interfere in the matters in the world?" Rachel questioned as Amy took a deep breath, ready to speak out her mind before Es cut her off.
Es: No. you have not been intervening ever since your appearance when we were dealing with the error. And while you have not been intervening, you have been aiding Makoto Nanaya in other manners that did not require direct intervention.
Rachel: I was merely observing the woman. Is it wrong for an observer to observe their target?
Es: If I am not mistaken, your main observation target is supposed to be Ragna The Bloodedge. While it is true you are allowed to observe other targets besides him, we cannot help but be alarmed by the increased interest in a singular woman.
Rachel: Why it's simply because Makoto Nanaya is a woman who has gone through so much grief in her life yet here she is, fighting for her very life for the life she desires. Are you two here to directly intervene and end her life?
Amy: Normally this would be the perfect chance...but lucky for you, your woman with Moxie has done something that we did not think was possible. Because of what she did, we have to change our current tactics.
"Is that so?.. if that is the case, what brings you two here? You both don't seem interested in giving me a sort of victory parade? For the fact that you two were unable to kill a woman who is truly dedicated in getting her own future?" Rachel teased as Amy took a deep breath, knowing what Rachel said was just merely a bait in order to force her to act. She was not going to act rashly and fall for the vampiress's jests and taunts as she turned towards Es to speak instead as she continued to calm down.
"Indeed… and it appears that due to the actions of Makoto Nanaya, we must now prepare for the worst possible situation to hit all timelines right now." Es explained as this intrigued Rachel. "You mean besides the current disaster that we are currently approaching with the machinations of a crazed woman?" Rachel questioned as Es and Amy nodded their heads. Their choice of words made Rachel become curious as to what kind of disaster would prompt such a response from them.
"At least that was something the Master Unit was able to manipulate with due to events having already happened enough times for her to make her decisions. The new timeline Makoto Nanaya seems to have created appears to interfere with the natural flow of time as we speak." Amy explained as Rachel raised her eyebrow with interest. This was the first time Rachel Alucard was hearing that timeline had been changed. She had not felt the Master Unit's usual tampering of time that she would employ or multiple waves of Phenomena Intervention that the Master Unit would have used to adjust the timeline to be in her advantage.
"So what will happen now? Will you two still choose to close up loose ends? Or proceed to another plan that the Master Unit has tasked you two to do." Rachel questioned as she couldn't help but ponder about the Master Unit's plans. "That is not for you to know. May if I remind you that you are stepping over the boundaries observers have established." Es explained as Rachel simply shrugged at that. "I was merely asking a question, not expressing my intent to intervene." Rachel simply replied as Amy couldn't help but find Rachel's way of sidestepping over what they were saying rather annoying.
"We came here to give you a warning to not interfere any further than you have already. I know you are not going to respect our wishes so consider what we are saying just a gesture of goodwill, a warning per say." Amy sternly said as Rachel remained quiet and stared at her as the two took a glance at Makoto Nanaya and her currently sleeping state. "Even if we killed her now, her body is not the problem right now, it's the fact that sword is holding her soul in and we can't get it out. She might as well be locked inside a vault." Amy continued as Rachel couldn't help but nod her head at that.
"So what are you going to go? Leave her be and wait until her wish is granted to hopefully return her soul back to her body?" Rachel said as Amy couldn't help but feel like she was talking to a mind reader as Es maintained a neutral face as she decided to answer next. "That is precisely what the Master Unit has deemed to be the best possible course of action we must take in order to ensure the world's survival." Es responded as Rachel maintained her composure hearing that.
"To think that the Master Unit is truly capable of such flexibility. Well do not let me stand in your way. Go and do your duties, Gatekeepers." Rachel said as Amy took one deep breath before focusing her gaze on Makoto Nanaya. "I only have one question that I wish to ask you. You don't have to answer it but I just wish to question." Amy said as Rachel found no immediate reason to refuse her request.
"Why do you think that people fight against what is given to them? We were guiding Makoto Nanaya towards a future she would have been happy...right?" Amy questioned as Rachel nodded her head at that, noting the choice of words. "That depends really when you say that. Did Makoto Nanaya really think she had the life she wanted? Or was that just what you thought Makoto Nanaya would have been happy to have in her life?" Rachel worded as Amy was about to respond before realizing the meaning behind Rachel's words.
"Then I guess I will use the time she gave herself to observe for myself the future she truly wants. One that she was willing to sever all other timelines for." Amy said as she looked at Es. "Come on us, let's not waste any more time. We got to settle some things of our own in the meantime." Amy said as Es looked at her with the innocence a child may have. "If that is the case, may we have some pudding as a refreshment." Es commented
"Fine fine… but after we are done alright." Amy said as Es cheered with the same deadpan look on her face before the two vanished in thin air, leaving Rachel by her lonesome. "Well Well Well, truly you have managed to surpass all expectations Makoto Nanaya. I wonder, what did you manage to find at the end of that tunnel of yours." Rachel Alucard mused as she decided that she had spent too much time observing the now white haired squirrel beastkin as she decided that she should leave right now.
...Doing her duty of observing the whims of fate…
For how long has he been walking? How long has he walked the vast stretch of nothingness in front of him? He had forgotten about how long he has journeyed, forgotten the pain such a long and tireless journey would be. His desire to eat and drink had long since vanished as he was running on fumes at this point. He felt the world fade in and out as his consciousness threatened to fade away from his mind. Yet despite everything he was feeling, he simply continued to keep walking.
He could have stopped at any moment but he didn't. Why did he continue venturing forth the way he did when the easiest thing to do at this point would be to just stop and let the world claim his worn and weary body. It was all for a woman. One of the simplest desires a man could ever have. Yet at the same time, it was that simple desire that kept him walking, kept him moving. Kept his will to live going as he lifted his weary head, the stump of his arm swaying in the air as Sora looked at the vast darkness in the front of him with a tiredness to not even speak or think.
"Accept your role. Continuum Error. Accept your death is the best for this world." A voice spoke to him as Sora shook his head in weak defiance. He would have preferred if there was something physical to fight in front of him as what he was experiencing right now reminded him of who he was before. The only memory he had of him starting to truly live as a human being was when he was found by his beloved big sister. The first woman who helped him start living.
'Alice…' Sora thought as he shook his head, not wanting to give up as it would disgrace the memory he had of her as he marched on with a sudden burst of energy. "Do not refuse your destiny. Accept it with purpose." The voice continued, it's purpose was to drain Sora of the energy to continue on his pointless quest. To make him accept the inevitability of the death that was coming towards him. Sora continued to ignore the voices coming towards him, focusing on his main goal.
"Makoto…" Sora said simply. Makoto Nanaya, the woman of his life truly keeping the fire of his life burning as while he continued to take each step towards what he had hoped was his final destination. "You are a nobody. Even if you were to escape, you will still have the label of a nobody on you. Nobody will remember you, love you, care for you. You will be just a husk of a man. Withering and left waiting for death to finally claim you." The voice said as Sora felt something drag on his feet as he looked down to see a horrifying sight to most people.
Hands. Multiple shadow like hands grabbed all over his legs. They were trying to pull him back, force him to stop walking as he felt his body slowly sinking in like quicksand. Sora took a small deep breath before he continued to march on, ignoring the sinking feeling he was getting. "I must live… I will live… I promised her." Sora said to himself, the flame of life burning bright within him as the promise he made to Makoto that day they were separated remained in his heart. His body was screaming, begging for rest. His mind had felt the tolls of what was being screamed at him, trying to find a retort that would repel the voices only to stumble upon nothing but his heart remained strong and refused to break.
Sora then felt a hand grab his remaining arm, trying to pull him even deeper into the mass of shadows that was growing underneath his feet. With a rough tug, Sora managed to free himself from the hand trying to drag him into hell itself. But Sora could feel the weight of the world continue to pile on more and more as he wondered how much more of a beating his body could take before it refused to move. He knew that despite his massive willpower, he was running on fumes at that very moment and any longer he would simply cease.
"Makoto...give me strength." Sora simply said, mustering up the words to make a plea of strength. Even if it was futile, a simple prayer was enough for Sora to give him the determination to keep on moving. As soon as he said those words however, he felt a gentle wind blow right at him, making him look ahead to see a figure standing in front of him, the light shining at their back as this prompted Sora to move closer towards the figure. A small hope had grown in his heart as he did not dare to speak another word for fear that what he was seeing is simply put a mirage.
Sora raised his hand up to the air, desperately reaching out as the person extended their hand to grab his hand. At first, he couldn't help but feel like he was grasping at a mirage but for some reason, this person was giving him faith, faith that his trust in said person would not be betrayed at that moment as without hesitation, he grabbed the hand right in front of him, finally feeling the soft touch that this person had as Sora felt his vision slowly fade in and out as he felt the person pull him in closer to embrace him, giving him a warmth he has longed for.
"It's alright Sora...I'm right here." The new voice said as Sora focused on the figure hugging him, her soft and supple figure pressing on his face as he couldn't help but unconsciously hug her tighter. The warmth he felt, the comfort he felt. It was almost as if he was truly holding onto her. Holding onto Makoto Nanaya. "For everything you have done for me… Let me help you this time...Sora" The voice of Makoto spoke as Sora felt comfort and safety in said voice, nodding his head and not refusing her offer as soon Sora began to feel his body become much lighter.
Suddenly the exhaustion he had felt was all blown away, the shadows gripping down on his feet were burned away by the light as the last vestige of the shadow arm continued to desperately cling onto Sora's hand in a futile attempt to keep him trapped but alas it was never meant to be as the world around him finally became clear, the singular color that surrounded Sora's eyes for the longest time became something completely different.
Was he really walking around in just a blank space for so long? So long until even the sensation of standing on something different was enough to bring a wave of emotions into him. "I...I have been wandering for so long…" Sora muttered, unable to muster any more words as he felt his weary body slump as the woman he presumed to be Makoto nodded her head before resting it on top of his head in an affectionate manner.
"I know… You really have been fighting with your all to get to me haven't you." Makoto said as Sora nodded his head again, embracing her even tighter as he didn't want to let go, fearing that if he did let go, Makoto would escape his grasp and she would get further away. Even with just his one hand, Sora refused to let her go as the Makoto like figure simply smiled and rubbed the back of his head. "I can feel it…. You want to be with me. You need to leave this place. Place your faith in me Sora. Let me be the light that guides you back home." Makoto said as Sora did not care if this was a trick being played on him, he had been wandering in the dark for so long, he needed to go into the light and embrace something new.
"Alright… I'll place my faith in your hands….Makoto." Sora simply said, the exhaustion finally leaving his body and for the first time in a long time, sleep was returning back to him as he felt his body get lifted into the sky. His body felt extremely light as his thoughts began to leave his mind as he closed his eyes and allowed his body to slump. His mind finally free from the anguish he had felt as the only thing he had thought about was one thing.
...He was finally progressing somewhere…
While it was well known that most Hierarchical cities are often build up high in the mountains, back in the early days of Hierarchical city construction, land had to be created in order to make room for these massive cities to be built, the foundation of the city so to speak. As a result, much of the unused land that was abandoned afterwards was returned to mother nature, allowing for the sprouting of new forests and landscapes that would have been lost to time itself.
Inside these massive forests, a woman was wondering her way through, keeping track of her surroundings, her choice of garments would have suggested that she was not a hunter but a mercenary but it appeared that her clothes were struggling to fit in her sizable breasts and hips. She scratched her head with her right hand as her left arm was coated with a massive golden gauntlet that appeared to be special.
"Dammit, it's already getting dark out here." the woman cursed as she scratched the bridge of her nose, a massive scar present as her tan skin was feeling the last inches of the sun's rays touch her as she ruffled her gray hair a bit. She had thought she would be able to make it to a hierarchical city but it appeared that she was going to be too late to reach one in time as the border usually closed their gates at this time. She would need to settle with making camp at this large landscape, not that she minded.
"Right. Time to find a spot to camp at least. And maybe some fresh meat so that I can enjoy some meat and not eat rations again." The woman said as her golden eyes scanned for what she had hoped would be the perfect spot to rest her weary body on. As she relaxed her muscles a bit, she immediately tensed up when she heard the sound of something hitting the ground with a thud that prompted her to keep track of her surroundings.
Whenever you heard the sound of something falling to the ground that was either two things. One that was the sound of a wild animal losing their footing and falling to their demise. The other more likely option was that there was a predator in the area, prowling and looking for it's chance to devour her whole as she decided that the best option at this moment was to carefully inspect the area and ensure her camping area was going to be safe.
"Bring it on. I'll happily make you my dinner for tonight." The woman exclaimed, punching her fists together as she was just excited that there was going to be something hefty to devour for tonight. Wild beast boar would be preferable but if she had to eat something gamey like the wild cats in the area or even a breowl, she would happily take it over having to eat a stodgy piece of porridge again.
As she reached the source however, it was none of the above that she had spotted coming her way. It wasn't a wild animal or even a dead carcass for her to claim as her meal. It was in fact a body, lying still on the ground as the woman stared in shock. She couldn't help but slowly approach the person, wondering if this was a wanted criminal who had been running away from the NOL. The white hair this individual had at first made her think she had managed to stumble upon a weakened Ragna the Bloodedge but upon closer inspection, the individual looked nothing like the SSS Ranked criminal's mugshot.
"What do I do?.." The woman mumbled to herself as she stared at this new person who had stumbled in front of her. She wanted to leave him be and let him be someone else's problem but they were in the middle of nowhere and she was in an area least traveled by most people. The woman scratched her head as she figured that she might as well take this person in and make sure they were nursed up to health, especially for the fact that this person was missing an arm in the middle of this forest and she didn't feel like leaving him behind to die.
...As unknown to her, she was about to save the person the world tried to make forget…
