Chapter 21
And I'm back with the next chapter. Time to see what happens now. On with the chapter!
____________________________________
It happened almost too quickly for Add to register. (Y/n) pulled him to the side towards the crowd of people who had been ignoring what was going on. Add pulled (y/n) to him to break her fall just in time to see bullets of some sort zooming past them. (Y/n)'s father held a slightly surprised expression for only a few seconds that morphed into irritation.
"I saved you," (y/n) whispered in relief as she buried her head into Add's chest. The crowd of people simply weaved around them, not even caring or noticing that they were almost shot. Add wasted no time in lifting himself and (y/n) up.
He would have carried her if he'd had to but she stood on her own. "Add, we have to run," she said. Add nodded, but stayed put. He only pulled (y/n) closer to him and told her to stay still. Add saw (y/n)'s father mutter something, and he saw the person, more like nasod, that must have been responsible for almost killing him. Add clicked the button on his wristband hoping that it would take them somewhere away from where they stood.
To his luck, it actually did and wisked them away to Elder. He'd still had it set up to teleport to different places there. Unfortunately, the teleportation device didn't do well with long distance travel so the wristband snapped from overuse once the teleportation was complete. "You okay?" Add asked (y/n).
"No," she replied. Add just stood there as (y/n) cried into his shirt.
When she finally stopped, he asked her again. "You okay now?" he asked.
"Define okay," she said as she let him go. She was still wearing the cloak from earlier which she used to dry her tears. "They're going to search for me. They'll want to kill you."
Add sighed. "Looks like we both have past enemies to deal with, but don't worry about them right now. We're in Elder, so I can take you to that place I mentioned earlier. Stop worrying and leave everything to me," Add said.
"You know I can't do that," (y/n) said sadly. She was right but she was also wrong.
"Come on, let's go. Have your dynamas out at all times just in case we need to fight something," Add said.
"They're dynamos, Add," (y/n) corrected. She was already starting to relax a little.
"I bet you'll feel better if you took that cloak off. It seems kind of retricting doesn't it," Add said as they walked to Elder. "I'm not taking it off even if it is a little restricting. I'm a vigilante, remember," she said.
"You're telling me that my old jacket is a part of your vigilante outfit? You like me that much?" Add teased.
"Shut up," she muttered in response.
"So if you took off the cloak, people would recognize you as the hero and not the villan right? That means that Red Knights will be less likely to attack us. You know how much they bug me," Add said. After a short moment of silence Add was about to try convincing her again.
"Okay fine. I'll take off the damn cloak. If random people start running away and I go after them, don't say I didn't warn you. I have a job to do," she said. She threw the cloak at his face and kept walking.
They weren't very far from Elder's outskirts so it didn't take them long to get there. It was just like the old days. Everyone avoided Add like they would a plague, and they stayed even further away from (y/n), some not even risking looking at her. Add didn't blame them.
(Y/n) looked like he did when he was younger. The only differences were that she was only five inches shorter than his current height and she was also a girl which made her attempt to intimidate people even more intimidating. Add found it all absolutely hilarious.
With him leading the way, they finally made it to the place that Add wanted to bring (y/n). "It took me a minute to remember where this place was, but I remembered eventually," he said as he saw the surprised look on (y/n)'s face.
"You're paying right?" she asked as she stared through the windows of the candy store where they'd met Ciel all that time ago. It made Add wonder if Ciel was here again this time.
"You don't think he's here do you?" (y/n) asked as though she'd read his mind.
"Even if he is, I doubt he'll harm us. We have a truce with the El Search Party still don't we," Add said. That convinced (y/n) right away and she didn't hesitate to go inside the store. Ciel wasn't there, but a certain other member of the El Search Party was.
"Elsword? Why are you here?" (y/n) said when she spotted him. He turned to look at them and was quite surprised to see them. Then his expression suddenly changed to fear.
"You guys aren't going to try killing me because my sister broke the truce are you?" he asked.
"Yeah because that's why she asked why you were here in the first place.....No you idiot! We aren't here to kill you," Add said.
"Wait...did you just say that your sister broke the truce?" (y/n) asked. Elsword nodded and looked at their dynamos like they would come at him at any second. He didn't have his sword with him. It was probably because he was on break like Ciel was last time they were at this store. "How? She doesn't know where we are and she hasn't attacked us yet."
"You see what had happened was, this guy on the nasod researchers most wanted list came and attacked our base here in Elder. He kind of threatened us into helping him search for you two. He had these really huge nasods and they had missiles and his name was...I can't remember his name. Wallace? Wilton?" Elsword was saying.
"Damn that Wally. He doesn't give up does he?" (y/n) hissed.
"Yeah that's his name! Wally! I hate that guy," Elsword said muttering the last part. "He also had these other people with him too. One of them was a nosod though. They were looking for you, (y/n). They left already though. Hey wait where are you guys going?"
"None of your concern. Just know that you won't have to worry about our problems anymore because we're about to solve them," Add said as he and (y/n) walked out the door.
"I think I just might actually be an assassin," (y/n) said while suddenly illuminating with a moderate amount of nanite energy.
"Who do we take out first?" Add asked.
"Wally is such a nuisance don't you think?" she replied.
"Wally it is," Add said. And this is where the true conflict all began.

I did it! Two chapters in a row! I'm proud of myself for that. It was easier for me to write knowing how I want the story to end but you guys will figure that out later. Until next time you cool readers!
