Chapter 23 Arete and Arekkusu undone
(Y/n) P.O.V
We were all walking threw Valla.
"Hrm...." Ryoma seemed to be detracted by something.
"Ryoma? Is something the matter?" I asked the lobs- er Ryoma.
"You look lost in though" Kamui said. (Me: *sings*lost in thoughts all alone~...sorry I had to)
"Ah, Kamui, (y/n)....I was just thinking about Scarlet. If she were still alive and with us. I'm sure she'd do something to dispel this mood" Ryoma said sadly.
'Well just to be honest, I kinda miss her....' Dark said.
'Same, even tho I knew her for a day and a half I think' Luna thought.
"Yeah...." i said sadly, I miss her a lot.
" I guess your right" Kamui said.
"I wish I was strong enough.....if I could...I could revive her...but She won't really be at peace" Cookie said sadly.
"It's alright Cookie, we all know you tried your best at saving us all. Thought there's something bothering me about Scarlet's death Kamui and (y/n). I've been trying to find the right time to bring it up...." Ryoma said.
"What is it?" Me and Kamui asked.
"I need to know who killed her" Ryoma said, I can see it in his eyes that he wanted revenge.
"Oh, I don't know what is was, but I want to revenge Scarlet" Luna said.
"Ah, So you're curious about that as well, prince Ryoma." Gunter said.
"Indeed" Ryoma said.
"What do you mean?" I asked my older sibling.
"Wasn't it a random soldier that killed her?" Kamui asked.
"Not a random soldier, Kamui. A spy. Scarlet's killer...is most likely one of us" Ryoma said, wait what?!
'Bi*** what?' Dark said.
'Is he messed up in the head?' Luna thought.
"That can't be!" Kamui and I said in sync.
"Think about it. We were the only ones who jumped of the bridge" Ryoma said.
'True, but you guys jumped first so you can't be 100% sure' Dark said.
"And you both said it yourselves that you both, Lady Cookie and Scarlet were attacked as you four were falling, milord(s)(And Milady)" Gunter said.
"Fair point, and don't forget I was there too" Luna said.
"Ah, I see...why didn't you say so" I said.
"I see what you mean..." Kamui said.
"For you four to be ambushed as you all fell...the killer must have jumped with our group. You both wanted us all to trust each other. So I didn't want to say anything...at least not until I was certain" Ryoma said.
"We appreciate that, big brother" Cookie said.
"However, it's possible that we'll encounter even stronger resistance from here on in. We may even reach Anankos soon." Ryoma said.
"It would be tragic if someone were to betray us during our final battle." Gunter said.
"But we have no idea who the traitor could be." I said.
"What can we do?" Kamui asked.
"Sit still and sleep?" Ayla asked, Cherry hit her over the head.
"We're not gonna do that idiot" Cherry said, glaring at Ayla with her purple eyes.
"You to stop it, your embarrassing yourselves and me, we already have enough problems" Cookie said, as she sweatdrop.
"I'm sorry Kamui and (y/n). I don't have a answer right now. Don't loss faith in those that have pledged to follow you both. Just....keep this conversation in mind" Ryoma said.
"All right, fine" I said, sighing.
'Your gonna forget are you?' Dark asked.
'Most likely' I thought.
"Thank you for bringing this to us, Ryoma" Kamui said.
~time skip~
We were walking through the area until Arete and Arekkusu teleports in front of us, but they didn't have the shadow area this time.
"You must leave this place are once" Arekkusu said.
"We will not allow you to approach the castle" Arete said.
"Leave, or we will destroy you" Arekkusu said.
"Arekkusu, Arete!" Me and Kamui said shocked.
"We won't leave!" Alex said.
"You must let us pass" Azura said.
"Another fight, then?" Arekkusu asked.
"We know you both wouldn't listen to reason" Arete said.
"That's why we brought a friend of yours" Arekkusu said.
"What are you talking about?" Luna asked.
'These guys are weirding me out' Dark said.
"Not to worry—if you live long enough you'll understand" Arete said, these people are crazy.
Soon they teleported away.
"Just when I thought we can go one day without fighting" I said as I brought out my Yato.
"Here we go, everyone!" Kamui said.
Let the battle began.
I scanned around the islands, they were mainly abound of flyers...then I saw SCARLET?!?
"Cookie....look" I said as I made my hybrid friend turned around to see a shadow Scarlet.
"No way....in the name of grandpa no...." Cookie said as she covered her mouth.
I saw ice started to form under her feet.
Soon i saw her eyes and body started glow and used her magic to teleport.
"Well, I need a ride" I said, then I jumped on Camilla's dragon.
Camilla flew threw the skies fighting the other flyers.
I jumped off and landed on a island and transformed into my dragon form and water breath the enemies away.
I saw Kamui as he use his yato to kill a enemy that was in front of him.
I teamed up with big brother Ryoma and kill/defeat all the enemies in our way.
soon Scarlet came up to us with a shadow area around her.
"this presence... it feels so familiar. is....is that you Scarlet?" Ryoma asked.
Scarlet said nothing.
"no, it can't be...this may be Scarlets form, but the women herself is long gone. even knowing that. I... I can't...forgive me Scarlet. at the least, I will give you peace..." Ryoma said.
'pity' Dark said.
'yep' Luna thought.
I attacked Scarlet first, doing a lot of her HP.
Ryoma used his lighting sword to finish her off.
his to over powered.
"thank... thank you" Scarlet muttered.
'she can finally rest in peace' Dark said.
'I guess she will' I thought.
soon I say a girl with red hair and eyes, it looks like she's a healer. a tall man with black hair and brown eyes, he might be a swordsman. and a boy that looks like to be around Cookie's height ...and that's also a wolf.
"hi guys!" the black hair man said.
"Ivan! Rose! Spike!" Cookie said.
"y-yes that's us" the red head girl that I guess is Rose.
"we want to help!" the wolf boy that I guess is Spike.
"but how did you get here?" Kagura asked.
"oh, we followed you guys down here" Ivan said, i'm done.
I sighed as I ran up to Kamui and used fire blast on the enemy behind him.
a enemy tried to attack me, but Luna came behind me and went beast mode on him.
I went up to Alex and Azura and helped them defeat a enemy.
"whats up?" I asked.
"heh, pretty okay so far" Alex said, as (she/he) blasted a enemy with (her/his) tome.
"I guessed much from one of the best people with water powers and magic" I said, as I saw Azura stabbed a enemy with her weapon.
I teleport us to Arete and Arekkusu, and got ready to fight them.
"why is it that looking at you both gives us such an incredible headache?" Arete asked, as she glared at the step siblings.
"I...we..could it be..." Azura stuttered.
"no matter--killing you both will make the pain go away" Arekkusu said.
"prepare yourselves for the next world" Arete said.
"after our last encounter." Alex said, as (she/he) grabbed (her/his) tome.
"we readied ourselves for this moment" Azura said.
"we knew that, if we met again. we might have to be the ones to take you down" Alex said.
both of them got ready their weapons.
Alex sent a fire spell at (her/his) father, I ran up to Arekkusu and tried to attack him but he block it.
I jumped back as Arekkusu sent a thunder spell at me.
Alex and Azura made Arekkusu and Arete HP go down a lot.
"its over" Alex and Azura said as they finished of their parents.
"we..." They both said, quietly.
we have won the battle.
we all went around Arekkusu and Arete as they both were on the ground.
"Azura, Alex...." they both said.
"did they...?" Alex asked, looking at (her/his) step-mother and father.
"just say our names?" Azura asked.
"come closer, Azura, Alex..." Arete asked the step-siblings.
"M-mother...?" Azura asked.
"father...?" Alex asked.
"it cant be" Azura said.
"you remember who we are?" Azura asked.
"Soon...Soon... our bodies and souls will disappear..." Arete said.
"we'll be... forever released from Anankos's control..." Arekkusu said.
"ah, our sweet Azura and Alex...we finally remember you both..." Arete said.
"can it be true?" Alex asked.
"is it really you mother? father?" Azura asked.
Alex and Azura walked closer a bit.
"Azura, Alex wait! this could be a another trap!" Ryoma said.
'what would you do if you say your mom and dad dying? to soon..?' Dark asked, I facepalmed.
'nope don't think so' Luna thought.
"but...it might not be" Alex said.
"what do we do?" Azura asked.
"Azura, Alex. you both know." Kamui said.
"you always known" I said.
"Kamui...(y/n)" Azura and Alex said.
"you both are alright" Azura said.
"of course..." Alex said.
"we will trust, that is out mother and father--" Azura said.
"that they are telling the truth!" Alex said.
they walked closer to them and went down to their level.
"mother..." Azura said.
"father..." Alex said.
"Azura...Alex...you both grown so much." Arete said.
"we're so happy" Arekkusu said.
"at least you remember us." Alex said.
"we've missed you both so much..." Azura said, as they both had a few tear.
"we're sorry for leaving you both alone" Arekkusu said.
"you both have been suffering alone for so long" Arete said.
"No, we were never alone" Azura said.
"we've had the royal children from nohr and hoshido, by our side. also the princesses from kalos and Sagara too." Alex said.
"and others have joined to help us, too" Azura said, smiling.
"that's wonderful..." Arete said.
"we wish we had more time..." Arekkusu said.
"I can feel myself slipping away. so is Arekkusu..." Arete said, then they both started to turn to water.
"Mother! Father!" Azura and Alex said.
"you both can't! we just got you back. don't go!" Alex said.
"Azura, Alex...we're so proud of you two" Arekkusu said.
"thank you for being our little girl(s)(and boy)..." Arete said.
"we're glad we saw you one last time" Arekkusu said.
"we love you both so much, Azura, Alex" Arete said, then they fully disappeared into water.
"mother? father? mother! father!" Azura and Alex said.
"i'm so sorry, Azura, Alex" Ryoma said.
"..." Xander didn't speak.
"I won't forgive him." Kamui said angerly.
"same. Anankos will pay doing this" I said glaring at the ground. making a fist.
~timeskip at the astral planes~
its night time and I went to go get water.
I saw Cookie near the river, a small blue area was around her, and ice appeared under her feet.
I walked up to her, and sat next to her and asked "you okay?"
when I sat next to her, tears started to come out of my eyes.
"y-ya i'm fine" Cookie said, but more ice came out of her feet and the tears came out of my eyes.
"no your not, I can tell. I remember when you were 5 and you did the same thing. tell me what's wrong" I said, she looked at me then back at her feet.
"i'm scared of this war. i'm scared of dying. I don't want to lose any of my friends and family. what's the point of this war? why does my fate have to be this? why did my father left me with the hoshidans? why I have to go threw all the pain and suffering in the lab with all the people? i'm really scared" Cookie said, as she freeze the water a bit.
my red eyes widen, that's how she really feels? and she never told anyone?
"sometimes i wonder... why Anankos is doing this? why he put all this people in danger? why he's making people die for his quest? I just want everyone to go home" Cookie said.
"don't worry, you won't die and everyone who lived and go home, i promise" i said, wiping the tears from my eyes.
Cookie showed me a map of Kalos.
"i used to live here, until team eclipse started hunting us. my dad took me away, and when he made to hoshido, he left me there...all i can remember he said from that moment is that he was looking for uncle Z2, and I guess you know the rest. got kidnapped by king Garon, I ran away when I was 8" Cookie explained to me.
I remembered now, I remember that when we we're kids. A few weeks after Silas, Kamui and I became best friends, Cherry was with us as well. She and Cookie became best friends in a week or so. Cherry was a knight in training and she was training under Xander before Kamui. One day, Cookie disappeared, Cherry was leading one of the teams to look for her, but of course she was never found.
"don't worry, everything will be alright" i said, moving my baby blue hair away from my eyes.
Me: all done
Cherry: and we are glad, we add some off our friends Tytv123 and Well-Life-Aint-Fair
Ayla: yep
All: bye!!
