Land of Fire

  "Tch feels like I'm forgetting something but what is it about" The tracer paced back and forth as forgetting something was annoying him "Perhaps it was someone.... oh yes I had to bring Ciel back. Time to do that I suppose."
  
   The fields of Ruben was lush green as the energy of the el shard radiated with life. Near a cave was a pile of phorus sleeping together for warmth while in the middle laid a sleeping Ciel wearing a crown on his dark blue hair.
  
   "Wake up Ciel." He started to softly kick Ciel leg in hopes of waking him up.
  "Huh? A-Add is that you?" Still half asleep, Ciel tried to stand up without waking the phorus up but failed. Once the phorus woke up they started to attack Add in hopes of protecting their king.
  "Ciel call your little pets off before I need to defend myself, they're more of an annoyance than anything."
  "It's ok Mini and Poppy, this here is Add, a friend of mine." Ciel called off his guards and petted their heads
  "You named them, why am I not surprised. Also I only sent you here because I needed time alone to be with my Empress. Now time to return back to Lu since you've spent enough time here."
  "Please can you come pick me up later this afternoon, I don't want to leave the phorus, please Add."
   "I will not attempt to entertain such childish ideas of a 24 year old demon! If I need to act like a father to make you listen then I will!" Add was annoyed as he was impatient, in a sudden moment of anger, Add pinched Ciel ear and forced him to return back to Lu.

   After returning Ciel to his Lu who was disappointed in him, Add returned to Eve to regather with the rest of the group. Once they had rejoined up with each other, they started to make their way east and away from the dry desert and towards the burning lands of Lanox where fires burned with a high intensity without any signs of dying off. After surviving the heat, machines whirring while letting off steam started to rise up in the distance marking the village of Lanox.
     
     "How are my dynamo cooling system holding up Eve? It says that your internal systems are at 52.7°C which is hotter than I wish it to be."
    "They're doing fine, I am just a bit warm but hopefully my energy will last since I'm using more energy that I would like to." Eve continued walking with Add's dynamos surrounding her when Lu suddenly interrupted.
    "It isn't fair Add, all of us are sweating and dying from heat but you're giving Eve special treatment just because she's your girlfriend! Why can't we share the space so we can all cool down a little!"
   "Incase you haven't noticed, I'm sweating which I hate to be doing tremendously. Also we can't share the space since it's effectiveness will drop significantly the more people are in it."
   "Why can't we take turns then at least. We will die from heat exhaustion!!!"
   "Shut it Luciela, it would take about a day for us to die while she could die in a few hours. As you know she's a Nasod so unfortunately a machine that I have fallen deeply in love with but as heat increases within a system or machine, so does the entropy which leads to more errors or larger consumption of energy and this is partly known as the second law of thermodynamics. If that happens then there's only a few outcomes, she overheats and dies, she shutoffs and we need to carry her or worse case scenario is that she suffers a system overload and releases that built up energy, aka explodes."
    "Lu it's better that we let him be and there's a person over there that may be able to help us." Ciel placed his hand in Lu shoulder while still wearing the crown.
   
                      ♢♢♢
  
    "You're the fire priestess right? I've read about you in my father's books while growing up."
   The woman in-front of Chung with pink hair and a red dress giggled before replying "Yes I am the fire priestess and welcome to Lanox village!"
   "How do you people stand the heat in here, I can barely stand a day here"
    "Lu be quiet, we'll find a cool place soon so let's hear what the fire priestess says." After shushing Lu, Ciel turned to the priestess. "Sorry for her rudeness I'm Ciel"
     "All is forgiven and you get used to it after a while but the monsters here are making it hotter than it should be." A black haired woman in a wheelchair appeared while she was being pushed by a tall man in a black suit and an eye-patch on his left eye.
    "Is this the Elgang I've heard rumors about?"
    "The one any only, we've kicked the Nasod king butt and returned the El, defeated the succubus queen and sealed the dimensional Portals that Berthe and Amethyst tried to open up!!!"
    "I killed Karis and I prefer we don't talk about what happened in Fieta... I have bad memories from there." The Tracer soon felt the Avenger hand on his shoulder as she was breathing heavily with a nervous look.
   "I agree we should let Fieta behind... Add the shadow keeps talking to me." "Remember the dream where Add died in your arms and among the red Knights? It's only a matter of time before they die-one-by-one, kuhahaha!"
   "Is she ok? Does she need medical attention?"
   "She was corrupted by the Dark El so she becomes unstable at times but she'll be ok and we didn't catch your name miss?" Ara was there answering the lady's question when Elesis took out a small needle with a black but mystical liquid and injected herself with it, she quickly started to calm down afterwards.
    "I'm Edel, the chief of the village and this here is Sebastian who been taking care of me after my father died in a fire. And no Sebastian is not a vampire incase anyone was wondering."
    "Nice to meet you Edel and that's unfortunate to hear, I'm Raven an ex mercenary from Velder village."
    "Now that introductions has gotten out of the way, the forest nearby has been on fire and whenever we tried to put it out it'll grow again."
    "We've already put out the fire, got the fire shards that was causing them and removed the source. Hope you don't mind me keeping the shards since they'll be useful for me to learn my ultimate skill."
    "As Aisha said, we cleared the forest after getting lost. Turns out that even though Add the ruler of time and space, he still can't stop us from getting lost!"
  "SHUT IT ELBRAT! I need the coordinates first so I can create a wormhole."
   "Thank you I suppose for the forest but Gloria and Dark moon need to be rescued but we don't know where they were taken to."
   "Are they two small girls with white and back hoods and golden eye colors named Gloria and Darkmoon because we found them in a mine shafts while lost."
  "YES! Did you rescue them to somewhere safe!?!"
  "Don't worry and we even rescued Sdeing after we were forced to but he stares at me creepily." Ara tightens her grip on her spear.
   "Those are the dark and light priestess can you please bring them to us?"
   "Bring them out Add."
   "I was gonna do that Eve." Sdeing, Gloria and Darkmoon fell from the sky where the three priestess reunited with a hug."
   "I'm so happy to have you guys back! Did these people treat you well because if they didn't I'll punish them for you!"
    "The scary man made us cry!" The two said in unison while pointing at Add.
    "Don't worry I've already punished him for making the children cry, he also apologized."
    "As Eve said he apologized but I think we should continue with our mission. We heard there were rumors of the earth priestess according to Ain, is her presence here Ain?"
    "It feels weak but she's here. We need to hurry Elsword before they do anything to hurt her."
    "Sdeing is acting strange and we need to cure him before anything. The rest of Lanox will only get hotter, Sdeing can make you heat resistant gear to keep you cool but he seems to be under a spell. Sebastian please send for Pesop and Steel."
  "I will be back Edel."
 
   After Sebastian returned with Steel and Pesop, Steel reunited with her father who had been lost for some time. Once Pesop was updated on the situation he informed them that it is possible to cure Sdeing weird and perverted state but they needed to go to the geysers and gather some of special water that flows there.
   The geyser was filled with merman and mine workers who showed a similar state of being as Sdeing. Raven noticed that the water seemed to rejuvenate his Nasod body, allowing for faster movement. Quickly slicing down each mob. Elegance with each step. His sword shined in the sun that mesmerized his comrades until they reached the door to where the mermaid slept, the one that they were told about before going. 

  "Jin it's time for us to leave as the master had ordered"
  "Keke I think these hero's will enjoy dealing with the corruption. Such a shame we can't watch them.
   "Let's go In we still have more to do before it's ready" The two blue demons bolted quickly through the air.

   "H-huh intruders? Be gone or I will kill you!"
   "Sirena don't attack us!"
   "Elsword she has been corrupted. She won't listen to the word of the goddess even if we tried. We shall cleanse her of the darkness."  Ain created a large sword using the goddess power to slice at Sirena, causing her to become enraged.
    "Ara, Raven! Distract her while I provide suppressive fire!" Ara and Raven ran up to her, focusing her attention on them and away from Chung who fired missles at her back.
    "Allow me to help Chung." Moving to the opposite side of Chung, Ciel unleashed the weapon of Marbas and fired heavy, condensed demon energy between Chung's missiles to prevent a delay between shots.
    "WATCH YOUR FIRE DEMON BOY!" Ain instantly yelled at Ciel after his 2nd bullet while he kept on slicing away at Sirena.
    "Fascinating. Ravens Nasod skeleton has been reacting with the water and storing up energy that's ready for a single sudden burst of energy. At the same time there's been small ruptures in space and time that are being caused by Raven. Kek I must study this water's abilities." Add had been on the sidelines watching and monitoring Raven incase the Nasod core started to take over.
   "Everyone! Move away since Add says Raven core is reaching critical!!"
   "Will do Mrs.Empress!"
    Raven's had already started to glow red from constantly hitting Sirena armor like scales as any higher could prove fatal but after Eve warned the others, Raven was free to unleash his ultimate potential. Raven started to move around Sirena but with careful footwork to maintain direct contact at all time while increasing his speed to the point where he became a blur of light and started to gain elevation  within the matter of seconds before he spent the last bit of stored energy with a sudden slice downwards that ripped apart the fabric of space for a split second. The final slice by Raven knocked her unconscious before sending her flying. Raven was left breathing heavily after forcing the Nasod skeleton to it's limits.

    "Are you ok Raven? Ain go check on Sirena" 
    "I'm, I'm ok- I just need to rest after that. This power overloaded my system, I felt the Nasod core trying to take control- I'm scared Rena, what if I lose control again!?!" With the stored power out of his system, the ex mercenary started to have a small mental collapse at the thought of going on a rampage if he were to lose his sanity.
    "Ain, how's the priestess or is something the matter?"
    "Mr.Ancient, what is that despicable figure infront of me!?! I feel a familiar darkness coming from it!" Anger flowed from Ain mouth as his eyes met that of a white glowing figure who wielded a large scythe fabricated from the abyss.
    "A dimensional distortion, in other words a version of you from another timeline, quite the interesting specimen he is."
    "Why have you strayed from the goddess, answer now before your chance passes!"
    "I heed a warning. Your existence shall be ended by Ishmael upon completion of your mission. Diverge from the goddess and submit to the void and release yourself from the chains you carry." The being's voice echoed, voided of any humanity that may have remained.
   "I exist merely to serve the goddess orders, do not try to tempt me for its pointless."
   "With the power of the void you can revert the demon realm back to the perfect state of nothingness. Does that not interest you?"
   "Only Ishmael should hold that power and she will after I restore the holy El."
   "Why do you mindlessly serve the one who shall kill you? I see the fear of death that's in your soul, join me brother and avert the same fate of the Nasods."
   "NO! I do not fear death unlike you who is a disgrace with your mere existence. Repent you bastard for I will be your exectioner!" Ain called upon the ultimate weapon of the goddess but hesitated.
   "If you do not fear death then why do you hesitate on killing me? You can still avoid your fate, contemplate what I said carefully. I must leave but we will meet again." The betrayer sliced open a gate to the void with his scythe and made his exit from this timeline.
    "Ain, what's wrong!" Elsword rushed over to him who had fallen on his knees in distraught.
    "I can't let my faith waiver for a second Elsword. I have to temple to strengthen my faith with the goddess so I can be ready to kill him on our next encounter."

   "You know, no one went to check on Sirena during that whole conversation between Ain and himself."
   "It's rather strange Add that you seem to care for her which isn't like you. Unless if you prefer her physical features over mines."
   "You've seem to have changed a lot my Empress after we rescued you. Also you have nothing to fear when it comes to her."
   "How so?" Eve stood with her arms crossed, curious at Add's remark.
   "She has very little to offer aside her looks so as a result I would grow bored of talking to her in such a short amount of time that it isn't worth. On the other hand, you are someone who continues to peak my interest even after years because you are quite unique Eve that even when I look through time, there is no one else I rather be with than you. Ain't I the luckiest man to have landed in the same time period as you my queen and I must admit I truly do adore your kisses." While Eve was blushing after being left speechless, Add grabbed Eve chin and laid a kiss upon her lips.
    "Love you too Add..." was all that she could muster afterwards.

                      ♢♢♢

     The couple had returned to Velder where Add's lab had remained. Eve was in the kitchen with Ophelia, preparing a meal for Add who would forget to eat since he is busy working away at his desk. Oberon and Eve's Nasod scout was cleaning up any balled up pieces of paper he would throw in frustration.
   
    "Seems like Velder has started to repair since we were last here, right Add?" There was no response. "Add? Oberon is Add still there."
   "Master Add is still at his desk."
   "Thank you." Eve walked over to Add and hugged him for she knew something was the matter, even while working, Add would least response back.
   "Ah yeah it has. Sorry I got caught up with my calculations."
   "Tell me what's wrong, you look- frighten." She started to fear whatever he was working on since very few things could scare Add.
   "Do you remember the Ain we met, the one with the black scythe? He wasn't a dimensional distortion"
   "Then what is he?"
   "seems that he's able to walk through the void until he finds a "door" to any timeline location that wants."
   "I do but why are you scared? Couldn't you defeat him like you always do?"
   "No... I had been studying him during that conversation and turns out that the power of henir has accepted him, fused with him and now he owns the power of henir while I merely manipulate it... He could kill us all if he felt like it."
   "But that doesn't mean we can't defeat him together as a team, please take it easy love, you make me worry.
    "You don't understand my Empress, the void has been devised by the mind of a mad man, he watched as time ran out, moment by moment until there is no time, no space, only him!" Fear started to consume him as he hugged Eve to find a moment of comfort. "I'm scared Eve."
    "Please don't cry my love. We can always run away, hopping between timelines, we can do anything you want but please stop crying, you'll make me cry too if you don't stop." She softly rubbed the back of the crying Esper's head  who had buried his face in her stomach.
    "We can run Eve but one day we have to stop. Our only hope is he is either peaceful, Ain from our timeline or the goddess will be able to stop him."
   "Then let us find the goddess. Everything will be alright Add."
   "I hope you're right my queen."
   "The food is almost ready so come eat before I force you to..." Eve simply kissed his forehead and went back to the kitchen to check that Ophelia didn't burn the food.

A/n: Hi yes sorry for the really long delay. I've been writing parts of this chapter for a while now but I never finished it till now. Also stuff happened IRL which made it hard to enjoy writing. Ontop of that I entered a story contest so if you want to see my story entry then just read "skin as white as snow" 
 
   Finally I wanted to say 2,500 views even though I at over 3,000 now so thank you very much, sorry if I don't update often but thank you nonetheless and to kinda celebrate it, I've decided to let yall have the IGN of my character since I do play on NA server so Add me if you play on NA too.

xXTimeLordXx  (my DiE)

Now about the story, yes Ain just showed up out of no where since he joined the el gang since the start but he wasn't released till now so I'm just gonna insert Ain but this time it'll be Arme and Apostasia.
Also if you got the Black Butler and Doctor Who reference then props to you, and here's a hint, think of the Rings of Akhaten.
