Welcome back everyone to the start of chapter 7 of the story. And it's with great pleasure to announce you that my country is finally available for FGO downloading on the App Store, making me no longer an illegal player (Yay!). Actually never tought they would do that,but, here we are.
And now with that out of the way, let's start it!
(Edit: Sorry for making you wait longer than normal. I had to take care of some things in the past weeks, hence why the long wait.)
DISCLAIMER: All the Nasuverse characters belong to Nasu and are property of Type-Moon, with the exception of the OC's that belong to me, the author.
"Rise and shine brat." The sound invaded Nala's ears, waking her from the sleep. "Time to be useful to me once again." Said the voice that Nala knew very well at this point. One that she despised to hear. It confirmed that what happened to her was true. She had been captured and it wasn't a bad dream she had.
Jeanne Alter walked torwards the girl, grabbing her arm, not giving Nala time enough to wake up and get on her feet properly. "Understood?" Said Jeanne Alter as she discomnected the chain to the wall.
"Y-Yes..." Nala said, still a bit sleepy, her eyes opening slowly. She wished to rub her eyes if it wasn't for the chain tying her arms behind her back that prevented her from doing that. Nala let out a yawn instead.
"Enjoyed the night here?" Jeanne Alter asked her with a malicious smirk. Nala didn't respond. It was painful having to wait for sleep to get her as the guilt weighed hard on her chest. A very hard night for Nala. She couldn't do anything other than blame herself during that time.
"I'll take that as a no then. Better get used to it. It will be the first of many." Jeanne Alter pulled the chain, indicaiting Nala to follow her. "But first, you'll help me get rid of that annoying group of yours."
"!" The mention of the group made Nala lift a bit her head up. She wanted to warn them. She wanted to keep them safe. But she would just be the bait for their downfall. "Damnit! If only I could do better. B-but what can I do against somenone like her?" Nala lowered her head again, staring sadly at the floor as Jeanne Alter guided her through the castle's halls.
The two eventually reached to the outside of the castle. Jeanne Alter made a sign for Nala to stop. "Now, it's time you see what a real dragon can do."
"Ritsuka! Wake up! Ritsuka!"
"Nghn..." Ritsuka woke up to Romani's agitated voice. "What was it doc? Do you wake people like this?" He put an hand behind his head, a eye still closed.
Peko also woke up with the screams. "Huh, what time is it?" He stretched his arms while asking.
"Senpai! Peko!" Mash appeard in front of them by the tent's entrance. She also looked agitated. "Jeanne as went alone to the village!" She said wich shocked Ritsuka and Peko. It was quite the way to wake up and hear this.
"And my monitor is detecting many singals coming torwards the village! It's many really! I detect a strong one in particular. It's probably the dragon witch!" Romani told the trio what was happening.
Peko turned his head to Ritsuka. "Don't tell me Jeanne is..." What Peko tought was also everyone's tought there. It was clear what was Jeanne's intention.
"She's weakened! She won't be able to defeat the dragon witch!" Mash warned the group.
"We need to catch up to her! Let's go!" Ritsuka quickly got up, decided to head were Jeanne went.
"Right behind you master!"
"Sure!"
Mash and Peko said as they alongside Ritsuka runned away from the camp and in direction of the village.
"I have to reach in time! Or else they're all gone!" Jeanne said to herself as she sprinted through the forest. The words of the voice she heard still echoed in her head.
"I-I can't let that happen! I have to save them!" The image of her mother appeard in front of her. "I have to save her!"
The saint run and run, nearing to the line of trees were rays of light glowed through the gaps beetween each tree,indicating the end of the forest zone.
"Hope it's not too late!"
The citizens had returned to the village. Altough half of it was devasted by the monsters yesterday, people deemed it was safe enough to come back to their houses. At least those who still had it. Some even returned to help in the reconstruction of the buildings that were destroyed and burying the corpses close to the walls of the village. It would take time to get things back to normal, but the inhabitants were already working to get the wounds healed.
In the middle of it, a middle aged woman was wandering through the wreckage, looking around as if she was trying to find something. She fixed her eyes in a small building that despite the cracks it had, it was still standing up, almost unscarred amidst the demolished of other not so lucky buildings. It was a flower store.
"Oh,good! It wasn't destroyed!" The woman walked to the store. Once next to the entrance, she observed all the flowers that were in exposition, mainly some blue ones. She grabed one and admired it's beauty, before closing the eyes and putting the flower close to her chest.
"These were always your favourite, right Jeanne?" The woman smiled, thinking on the memories of her daughter. Then she proceeded to join both hands and pray.
The woman begged. Begged to God that the person who saved her yesterday was truly her daughter. That the rumours of the dragon witch being Jeanne D'arc were all but false. That she could meet with her daughter once again and live the rest of her days seeing Jeanne has a happy woman with a good and peaceful life. She derserved it after all she's been through.
"Everyone, run! It's back!" The screams and panic pushed the woman out of her thoughts. She was confused. Another attack? With little to no time to breath after the last massacre?
The woman stepped away of the flower store and looked up in the sky to see what it was. The sight of it terrefied the woman to her core. Huge amounts of the same flying creatures that attacked the village yesterday, close to a hundred or perhaps even more. But what stood notorious between all the monsters was a giant black one. It was clear that one was the leader by the sheer size of it as well as the most powerful of the horde.
At its top, a human figure could be spotted if the eyes looked hard enough.
"Look at all these common peasants that you fought so hard to safe. Thinking the worst had already past." Jeanne Alter giggled as she observed the collective chaos of the village while standing in top of the huge dragon and talking with Nala.
The girl looked in terror, seeing the poor civilians being tormented again. How could someone enjoy such evil?
"Wouldn't be a shame if all that effort went to dust in just a second?" Jeanne Alter grinned at Nala, her vile intentions being clear.
"N-No! Don't do it!" Nala begged to Jeanne Alter. Unfortunately, that was the only thing the girl could do. "They have suffered enough already!" Nala knew it was useless to try and convince the dragon witch but she had to try.
Jeanne Alter simply turned her head to stare at Nala. "Are you the one in charge here?" She asked annoyed but also threatening, being received by a reluctant silence from the girl.
Without saying a word, Jeanne Alter returned her attention to the village below them. It was time for the dragon witch to show her prisoner what real power meant.
The saint, already exiting out of the forest, was met with the huge shrill roar of the flying monster in the sky, it's mouth wide open to the dark clouds above. The large neck of the creature was glowing. It was charging it's attack.
"Jeanne!" Her name was called out. Looking behind her, Jeanne saw Ritsuka, Peko and Mash coming out of the woods.
Eventualy, they reached her. "Why did you go away without telling us?" Ritsuka questioned her, before looking at the dragon that was nearly ready to lunch the blast from the mouth.
The next second, was too fast for everyone to react in time.
"Wipe them out, Fafnir!" Jeanne Alter yelled and the black dragon did as it was told, releasing the blast upong the village.
"NO-" Nala screamed as she could only watch the blast falling on the area about to be eradicated.
The middle aged woman on the floor didn't run unlike the rest of the civilians. It was useless running. It wouldn't escape them from death. So instead, the woman gazed at the figure on top of the dragon. Her iris shrunk upon looking at the figure. It couldn't be, but, it looked exactly like her.
Like her daughter.
Her daughter was really the dragon witch? Her beloved child was after all, the one behind all this genocide? Jeanne has really lost her way? Were all questions the woman made to herself as the blast and it's brightness would get near and nearer.
"Jea-" Was all that the poor woman could say, as in a mere fraction of a second, the blast erased her whole body.
A stretched arm trying to reach out to what was now a devastated giant hole full of smoke and black ashes was all Jeanne could do.
It was gone. Every citizen alongside the village was gone.
"Mother..." She whispered to herself, letting her head to lower. Mash seemed to notice it.
"Jeanne...we..." The shielder could only wonder what was going through the saint's mind.
"W-we couldn't do nothing." Peko sweat at the sight of the destruction caused by the firepower of the dragon. "It was just...too sudden."
"So this is the real power of our enemies huh?" Ritsuka was in awe by the black dragon's power too. "We alone like this won't do. We're outclassed."
Peko still wanted to think on a less negative outcome "But hey, there could be survior-"
"No, Peko." Romani's hologram appeard. "My sensors detect no life in the area in front of you. Sorry to say it but, there's nobody to be saved."
Peko didn't argued with the cruel truth told by Romani. He just stood silent and accepted it. No normal being would have survived that. "I see..."
"Y-you just killed them. All of them..." Nala stared in shock to the destroyed area below her. All those people that she saw and fought so hard to survive yesterday, were killed with no such effort. That lady she met. Her own mother...
Jeanne Alter meanwhile was watching satisfacted to the death she had caused. "Of course I did. I'm the Dragon Witch after all 'duh'. Like, did you tought all that thing about me genociding and mass killing people were rumours?" She giggled before putting her finger under Nala's chin in order slowly raise the girl's head. "If you thought so I'm more than happy to have proved you wrong."
Just as Jeanne Alter was watching the surrounding area of the destroyed villaged, the witch caught sight of what she was looking for. "Oh, they've come just as I expected." She grinned evily while still looking at her target before speaking to Nala. "Ready for it brat?"
"Better we can do is to gather other heroic spirits if we want to have a chance to defeat the dragon as well as the dragon witch herself. Mash said to the others.
Ritsuka and Peko both nodded, agreeing that it would be their best option right now. Jeanne however, still stood silent and off from the conversation. The saint's mind was in a total different place.
"Mother, why? Why they did this to you?" Jeanne clenched her fist. "If only, I wasn't weakened... That dragon witch,she-"
A small touch from Mash broke Jeanne's inner toughts. "Hey Jeanne, are you hearing?" The shielder asked with a bit of worrydness in her face.
Jeanne tried to shove it away. "Don't worry Mash, I'm fine." The saint smiled.
A huge and loud sound came from behind her as well as a momentaneous strong breeze that catched the group off guard. It was the huge dragong with it's owner stepping down from it's head to the ground.
"Looks like we finally meet, saint." Jeanne Alter's talked with a smug in her face. Her eyes meeting Jeanne's. The ruler saint looked in shock to her counterpart right in front of her. She was an almost perfect clone of Jeanne's aside for different skin tone and personality.
"It's her! Mash!" Ritsuka did not waste time and put himself in front of Peko, calling his other companion to guard them both. This was about to get dangerous.
Slightly behind Jeanne Alter, Nala was standing with the chain wrapped around her arms and the rest of it in Jeanne Alter's hands.
"NALA!" Peko shouted his sister's name, about to run torwards her without thinking, only to be stopped by Ritsuka.
"Don't Peko!" He exclaimed. "It's far too dangerous now."
Altough not wanting to stand by and wait to rescue Nala, Peko admited that what Ritsuka was saying was quite true. Nala bit her lip and tried to not make contact with him. She believed to have let them down.
"Soooo is that all of you?" Jeanne Alter asked while staring at the opponents in front of her, looking now at Ritsuka. "Is that the human master that will try to stop me?"
"Y-yeah." Ritsuka tried to say with determination.
"Hmm ok then." Jeanne Alter analyzed calmly. "...heh...eheheheheheheheHahahahahaha!" The witch bursted out laughing like crazy, making her opponents take a more defensive posture.
"Hahaha. Ah, is this some kind of joke?" Jeanne Alter mocked them. "Other me, you truly are pathetic! It suits you having joined forces with other clowns!" The witch laughed some more looking at her counterpart expression as well as the others. "Those stupid faces, it almost makes me die of laughter." She turned her head to look at Nala. "This is the kind of people you hang out with? So ridiculous, isn't that right Gilles?" No response came.
Jeanne Alter realized that her friend was nowhere to be seen. "Oh, yeah. I forgot that we did end up not bringing him."
"Enough of that nonsense of yours!" Jeanne shouted at her dark counterpart. "Are you, really the other me? I must know since I can't even fathom nor imagine the idea of destroying France ever in my life. So I ask you again, are you truly me?" Jeanne questioned her Alter part.
She seemed displeased by Jeanne's questions. "My, you really are slow aren't you? Think with me you stupid saint. This country betrayed me and spat on me, leaving me to die miserably, after all I done for it. It's enough reason for why I'm destroying it. Even a child would understand that, don't you think?" Jeanne Alter smiled to her other self.
"So I'm going to erase every living being on this country. Cut the bad root that is humanity and France will turn into a dead place full of silent corpses. That's the salvation of the new Jeanne D'arc." Her smile grew wider. Jeanne on the other hand clinched her teeth. Never she expected to have all this darkness inside of her. "If you don't acknowledge it, then you can't possibly be the other 'me'. Unless..." Jeanne Alter giggled. "You're in denial."
"She's terryfing. Can we really beat her?" Mash whispered to Ritsuka.
"I don't know. At least, we outnumber her." Ritsuka replied to Mash.
"However..." Jeanne Alter started to speak again. "I'm not here to kill you all, for now." Her words confused Jeanne and the trio behind her. "Instead, how about we make a trade here and now?" Jeanne Alter pushed the chain on her hand, making Nala involuntary take steps forward and almost fall to the ground. "I believe this girl here belongs to you right?"
Peko got upset seeing Nala being treated like that. "W-what do you plan to do with my sister?!" He yelled only to be calmed down by Ritsuka.
"Oh so that's your brother eh?" Jeanne Alter looked maliciously at Nala. "Thinking about it, you two look quite identical. Twins maybe?"
Nala was shaken in fear. "P-please, d-don't hurt him. Leave him out of this." She begged weakly.
"What's your plan here?" Jeanne demanded to know.
"Like I said, I just want to make a trade here. I'll give you this girl back and in return, you give me that saint to me." The proposal shocked everyone from Jeanne side including herself.
"Senpai, what do you think?" Mash asked to Ritsuka, thinking hard about the decision. It was lose-lose situation for them.
"I also want to save Nala, but right now, we-"
"We still outnumber her, right?" Peko said. "E-even if Mash and Jeanne are weaker, we might have a chance if it's two against one." The idea didn't looked bad, unfortunately for them, Jeanne Alter had overheard the conversation.
"If you think it would be as easy as that, think again boy." She raised her arm and snapped her fingers. Suddenly, four people were surrounding the group.
"Master! We're surrounded!" Mash exclaimed while looking at the new enemies around them.
"Damnit! This is bad! Those four are servants!" Romani holgram appeard, informing the group of the situation. "There is no way we could possible win this in a fight! We are now both outclassed AND outnumbered!"
"This is a warning to not even try and do something funny." Jeanne Alter warned them. "Now, have you guys decided to trade or not? Remember, my patience has limits."
"C-crap! What do we do now?" Peko asked, slowly losing his posture. For him, there couldn't be any other way to get out of this alive without trading Jeanne. If that meant Nala was safe and with them again, it would had to be it, even if it hurt. "I don't want to do this to Jeanne but, it's our only chance..."
"Master, I don't want to put pressure in you but, what's your decision? I know it isn't a easy one but we need to act fast now." Mash told Ritsuka, also feeling the frustration and anxiety within her rising.
Ritsuka right now, felt like a huge mountain was above his shoulders. This whole responsability was something he wasn't used to it. "This situation is way worse than the one in Fuyuki. There's not a way we can save Nala without trading Jeanne for it. If we end up fighthing here, we will certainly die!" Ritsuka at this moment didn't know what to do, only feeling anger on himself. "Damnit! I'm a master aren't I?! I can't even think straight! What the hell am I doing? What I'm supposed to do?!"
"Hehehehehe. Look at that pathetic mice there. Scrambling his brains to think on the most awful plan." Jeanne Alter laughed at Ritsuka's indecision, before turning her attention to Peko. "What about you little boy? She's your sister right? Don't you want to see her safe and sound next to you?" She taunted the boy.
"I..." Peko hesitated in his words. Deep down he truly wanted Nala to be safe but also didn't want to throw Jeanne under the bus.
"No Peko, you shouldn't bare to make this decision!" Ritsuka tought while looking at his friend. "I-I am the leader here. It's my job to make a decision for the best of everyone. I hate to do this but I need to! Or else we all die."
Ritsuka had decided. "I-"
"I'll go with you! Let the girl go." Jeanne was quicker in answering than Ritsuka, hoping that the human master wouldn't feel guilty for making the decision.
"Oh, so you are coming on your own volition? " Jeanne Alter smirked.
Ritsuka, Mash and Peko were shocked by Jeanne's action of letting herself be traded in order to have Nala back. She was indeed a selfless saint.
"J-Jeanne-san! Are you sure?" Mash questioned Jeanne.
"Yes I am. If it means you can get your friend back then I have no issue with it." She smiled at the trio. "Make sure to find other servants and bring her down. And don't worry, I believe in all of you."
Even if it taked a lot, Ritsuka had to respect Jeanne's decision. She decided for them, even if it involved her. She made the decision for them despite knowing she wouldn't benefit and only get prejudiced. So, Ritsuka silently nodded, accepting Jeanne's decision.
Peko also stood silent, admiring the selfless act of the saint. "She did that,for us and sis?"
"Ok then." Mash sadly let Jeanne go ahead, accepting her choice.
"Gosh, you're such a goody two shoes aren't you?" Jeanne Alter felt like getting sick by her counterpart act. "Whatever, now walk nicely over here."
"Let the child go first." Jeanne responded.
"Not a chance. How will I know that you're not lying? Come here first and I'll let her go." Jeanne Alter requested.
"Do you think a saint would lie?" Jeanne asked to her counterpart. "Also how can I make sure you aren't lying too?"
This was visibly putting Jeanne Alter angrier. "I still won't bite it. Also if I wanted to kill you, I would've done it a lot sooner."
The two Jeanne's stared at each other, before the saint decided the witch's condition. "Fine then." She started to walk torwards Jeanne Alter.
"No! Don't do it, it's a trap!" Nala wanted desperatly to tell her, but she was scared that if doing so, would cost her life. However, she also didn't want to watch all her companions and brother being killed while watching powerless.
"Yes, come closer stupid other 'me'. Shoving my sword into your body will feel amazing. And then all of you mices at the back will be quickly killed by my servants. What a way to dispose of trash like you." Jeanne Alter was liking how things were going as she planned. However, she didn't knew what her other part was thinking at the moment.
"Hate..." Jeanne told to herself as she was taking her steps torwards her Alter counterpart.
"This feeling...is it hate?" Jeanne took another step. Her mind could only think about one thing.
"You killed my mother...and enjoyed it. How dare you?" Another step.
"That face of yours. That smug and cruelty. It angers me." Jeanne's soul felt heavy and heavier. "I'll make you pay Dragon Witch, for all the suffering you've caused." Whispers and murmurs echoed in her head, encouraging the saint's hate.
"I have to think on something. I have to, or they all die!" Nala closed her eyes trying to think on something. "C'mon,c'mon...that's it!"
As Jeanne Alter watched her other part walking to her, she started to feel the chain she was holding moving. Looking briefly to the side she caught a glimpse of Nala struggling against the chain. "Hey now, stop it brat." She hissed to Nala, still maintaning her smile and trying to not lose focus on Jeanne in front of her.
Unfortunately for her, Nala's struggles only grew along with her movements going wilder by the second. Peko alongisde Ritsuka and Mash were trying to understand what Nala was doing.
"What are you doing sis?" Peko wondered.
Jeanne seeing this, took advantage to get ready in case she found an opening in Jeanne Alter.
Nala's noises and struggles in the chain were rapidly making Jeanne Alter loosing her patience. "Keep the fuck quiet brat!" She said more loud and angry, hoping Nala would cowardly obey her and stop the struggle.
"I won't! This is perhaps the only chance of foiling her plans for now." Nala continued her struggle, trashing wilder and wilder against the chain.
Jeanne Alter has had enough. "For fuck sake!" She stopped looking to Jeanne and grabbed Nala's shoulders with both her hands in a tight grip, trying to physicaly stop the struggle. "Listen here you fucking-"
"NOW!" Nala with a quick movement, raised her head as fast as possible and bashed the back of it successfully in Jeanne Alter's nose,breaking it.
"Argh!" The pain caught Jeanne Alter by surprise and unintentionally she let her grip on Nala go, freeing the girl from her grasp.
"It worked!" Nala exclaimed, taking this chance to start running away from Jeanne Alter.
Seeing the opportunity, Jeanne quickly summoned her sword and charged torwards her dark counterpart.
"Hrgh! You damn insects!" Jeanne Alter roared and quickly took the hands out of her nose, showing it all bloody, and summoned her sword fast enough to clash with Jeanne.
"Well played Nala!" Ritsuka shouted with a smile on his face. It looked like the situation was turning in their favor.
Mash didn't waste time and sprinted torwards Nala. "Keep running Nala. I'll cover yo-"
A big clash occured. Mash's shield was fending off the sword of Saber-Berserker, stopping the shielder in her tracks.
"The other servants! We forgot about them!" Peko shouted as the other three servants were ready to attack them.
Meanwhile, the two Jeannes were still clashing their swords. Jeanne Alter took a quick look to the chain that was moving on the ground next to her right foot and almost out of her reach. "No you fucking wont!" Jeanne Alter stomped the chain with her foot, putting a stop to Nala's running and making the girl fall to the ground by the sudden stop of the chain.
Just as Jeanne Alter did that, she looked Jeanne in the eye to see what she wasn't expecting to see on her saint counterpart. Anger and hate filled in her eyes. They could tell to Jeanne Alter that the saint was with every intention of killing her here and now. "Heh, see? Can you feel what I felt? " Jeanne Alter smirked. "If so, then we are the same. Don't deny those feelings other 'me'. Accept them!" Jeanne didn't reply. Her grip on the sword grew stronger.
"Now how are we going to get out of this?" Ritsuka protected Peko behind him as the other three servants approached.
"Hmmm, what would Magi Mari say in this situation?" Romani rubbed his hair, trying to think of soemthing. "I know! Let me check her site to see what advise she can give us!"
"Is it really the time for that?!" Peko shouted comically at Romani.
Then, when it seemed all was lost a distant noise and voice came from nowhere.
"Wassup my homies!!!!" The voice could be heard from afar as well as some...singing.
Everyone in that moment raised their heads and were shortly met with a big chariot falling right in the middle of the battle.
"What a-" Ritsuka and Peko said in unison.
"Doctor are they what I'm thinking they are?" Mash asked to Romani, still fighting against Saber-Berserker.
"Yes Mash, they're servants! We're safe!" Romani shouted in happiness as the recent arrived servants were attacking the enemy ones.
"Quick! Hop on all of you!" A man at the front of the chariot told Ritsuka and Peko as he was playing a violin that seemed the source of his attacks.
"Wait! We still have to rescue Nala!" Peko replied and immediatly went after his sister that was still lying in the ground a few meters away from him.
Mash took the opportunity that the enemie servants were occupied to retreat back to the chariot. She looked back and saw Jeanne was still fighting the dragon witch.
"Jeanne we need to retreat now!"
Peko runned as fast as he could and dived next to Nala, proceeding to grab the chain behind her. "Don't worry Nala I got you! I got you!" Peko shouted in a frenzy, trying to pull the chain away from Jeanne Alter's foot. However, the dragon witch wasn't taking the foot off the chain for nothing. Even when fighting Jeanne, she made sure to still be stepping on the chain to make sure Nala wouldn't escape.
"C'mon, just a little bit of streeeeeeenght" Peko pulled the chain as hard as possible but still wasn't enough.
Seeing this, Nala assumed that she had no escaping here. "Please Peko, leave me! You have to go with Ritsuka and Mash now!"
"Are you crazy! I'm not leaving you behind again!" Peko shouted as he was now grabhing Nala's legs and pushing it, trying to see if the result could be different.
"No Peko, leave! Or you will get captured as well! I don't want that!" Nala shouted back, trying to change her brother's mind.
"B-but, I also don't want to lose you!" Tears were appearing on the boy's face. "We will look for dad together, right?!"
"Jeanne! Peko! We need to leave now!" Ritsuka shouted, but seeing the difficulties Peko was having trying to save Nala, he was about to step out of the chariot.
A arm in front of him stop Ritsuka. "Don't do it. It's dangerous to risk it that way!" The woman with a big and bulky red hat next to him said.
Jeanne wanted to continue her fight, but a gaze at the situation, told her that she had to wait for another time. The saint stepped out of the clash and runned away but not before giving a serious stare at Jeanne Alter, making sure to transmit the feeling the two would meet again.
"Ah! You're all running now? As if I'd let you escape!" Flames started to spawn on Jeanne Alter's hand.
"Yes we will look for him together Peko! I promise you that! I won't go down that easily!" Nala made herself brave again for Peko's sake.
Peko cleaned off his tears, not wanting to appear as a crybaby in front of his sister again. "Then, I'll become stronger and rescue you Nala! Just wait for it!" Peko said, trying to make sure his voice wouldn't crack.
Nala could see something in her brother's face. Determination. She felt what Peko was saying was true. He would become stronger to save her. "Heh." Nala smiled. "Then make sure you do it, Peko."
Peko nodded silently, right in time as Jeanne was passing next to him and grabbed him, with the two heading torwards the chariot and leaving Nala once again behind.
"Gah!" Jeanne Alter launched her blazes the moment Jeanne and Peko jumped into the chariot.
As they calmed down and eventually vanished, it showed the chariot was already gone, and the dragon witch enemies had escaped, much to her frustration.
"Haaa, whatever." She said, looking to her servants around her. "Disperse and find them!" She ordered. At that moment, the four servants dissapeard from her sight, leaving her alone with Nala.
"And you..." Jeanne Alter looked menacingly at Nala on the floor, who this time, stared back at her with a defiant stare. "you will
regret screwing the whole thing."
To be continued...
So before anything, I'm sorry for the wait once again. My personal life during these weeks weren't let me get much time to write this chapter as well as some days I didn't felt like writing it /
But thankfully chapter 7 is here and you don't have to wait god knows how long for it anymore. Hope the next one doesn't take much time.
I also admit this was a chapter a little difficult to write. It was a chapter focused almost solely on the first encounter of Ritsuka and pals with Jalter, so perhaps for some of you it was quite a slow chapter with mostly talking as well as many toughts from different characters.
And why is Jeanne acting quite angry at Jalter hm? Well you'll see in the next chapters since it will introduce to a main theme I planned to do in my story.
Also, character development incoming to Ritsuka and Peko? Maybeeee.
Either way, that's all I wanted to say, and see you next time in chapter 8! Peace!
Random Note: Ok I admit that Multiversus had a huge hand lately in the long wait for the chapter. But it's so addicting man! I just love beating the shit out of random characters like Steven Universe with Finn. Yeah I'm Main Finn and don't care about your opinions about him being op! Deal with it.
