Chapter seventeen

(Y/N) POV

Ever since we returned to the base, Saber kept asking me, where I was? What I was doing? With whom? I was doing and where I got the armor from? 


I explained to him that I was in the city and I got the armor after an old acquaintance, but he still asked who.


-Saber, explain to you that I got it from an old friend.


- All right, but tell me from whom? I just want to know.- he said.


"You're not gonna be angry?- I asked.


- I don't promise.


"Okay let me tell you. I got it from... Pythor.



He shook his head in confusion.


- Pythor?...Pythor... PYTHOR P. CHUMSWORTH?! This Anacondrai?!


- Yes.


- What is he doing here?! 


"He got here with the Traveler's Tea... he wanted to go elsewhere, but the tea didn't work for him and he got here. He has managed to settle in.


- As soon as I meet him...


- Oh, come on. Let's go see Axl, who has a live performance on TV. - I said turning on the mini TV (I had him in my room).


He growled angrily but said nothing. We watched Axl cook a dish from his mother's recipe. The host of the show tried to make a joke, but the audience fell silent. His sister joined the giant informing that their parents were missing. We looked at each other, nodding our heads in agreement, and went to the garage. When we got there, Axl was talking to Clay while his sister was holding things in her hands, barely supporting them.


- I have to deal with family matters. -Axl said.


- Don't pretend, we've all seen the show.- Macy said, entering with the others.


- Well, almost everyone because this program goes down. The title scares off and viewers need a good program. But Macy said there were problems, what's up?- Lance said, standing next to Clay and Macy.


- The inhabitants of our hometown began to disappear. Almost all our neighbors are gone, mom and dad went looking for them.- Axl's sister said.


- Well, they are already dead.- Saber muttered.


 I heard it and kicked him lightly in the side.


- This is a really commendable step.- Macy said.


"So what's mum and dad missing and me and Axlin have to look for them.- Axl said.


- Relax Axl, you don't have to do it alone.- Aaron said.


- But it's a family matter. -Axl protested.


- But we're like family. We're all going with you.-Aaron said.


- Awwww.- I called with Saber.


- Wait, since when am I doing that?- the lion asked himself.


- Hmm, you can see that the knights are making you a cute cat. -I was teasing.


- Shut up. I'm not cute, I'm dangerous. -He said.


Axl's sister, at Aaron's statement, began to cuddle up to Robin and Avie grew awkward next to him. Moments later the boy ran away. Lance "heroically" promised the girl that he would save her parents and she started hugging him, forgetting about Robin. I started to giggle a little. Clay ordered a trip to Axl's hometown.


= Time Skip =


We got to the village where it was almost empty. When we left Fortrex, the townspeople happily ran up to Axl. The knight promised them that he would do everything in his power to worry the inhabitants. Lance again "heroically" promised them that he would save them. Unfortunately, the sensors have not detected any use of forbidden power, so we have nothing to look for. Back then, Clay had planned an ambush with the monster bait, and that was Macy's. 


The monsters soon came to kidnap another "victim" without knowing it was a red knight. When the girl came out, she shocked the monsters and then the others appeared, starting the fight. Unfortunately, there were too many monsters and they had to "back out" but this is the next phase of our plan. Me and Aaron spied on the monuments to lead us to Jestro. They were so stupid, that they didn't notice us.


- Stealth, stealth, I'm sneaking.- he mumbled to himself, I looked at him.


- Nice slogan, archer.- I said, smiling under the mask.


- Thanks, Buttercup.- he said, winking at me with a smirk.


- Can you stop flirting?- Saber asked annoyed on the communicator, while the others chuckled in the background.


- Saber, we don't flirt, do you even know what, that means?- I asked on the communicator.


- Yes I know. Kai told me. Don't think I haven't heard you and Lloyd doing it.- he said in retaliation.


 Knights started to laugh. I widened my eyes, Aaron frowned, and his face turned to a scowl??


( A/N: Hmm 🤭)


- Knights, remind me to hit Kai on the head one day, okay? And second, we weren't flirting, just teasing, nothing more. Third, Lloyd is not for me and I think he fell in love with one princess. And fourthly, it is not the time to talk about such things, understand? -I asked.


- But of course Buttercup ~ they said in chorus, teasing me.


- I'll kill you, I swear.- I said, threatening and ending the conversation.


Suddenly, out of nowhere, gargoyles appeared and started throwing stones at us, distracting us. Eventually, knights in their mechanical armor appeared and helped us fend off the monsters. Merlok ordered us to invade the mine, when we entered Fortrex blocked the entrance to the mine by the cloud.
