(Y/n)'s P.O.V

We were walking threw a forest and it was TAKING US FOREVER AND FELT LIKE WE'RE GETTING LOST!!!!

"It feels like this forest goes on forever" Kamui said.

"You said it brother, just how big is it, I wonder...." I said, as I rubbed the back of my head.

"Don't worry, Kamui and (y/n)" Azura said.

"It is long, we're on the right path" Alex said.

'Thank gods, I cant bar you wining any more' Dark said.

'Hey now' I thought offended. Honestly i shouldn't be surprised.

"You both have been here before, then?" Kamui asked the step siblings.

"We're not sure" Alex said shrugging.

"We have very faint memories of this place" Azura said.

"Some things are familiar" Alex said.

"I was young.....holding my mother's hand" Azura said.

"I was around Azura's age...holding my father's hand" Alex said, the two step siblings had a tear or two fell down their face.

"Welcome, all of you" a male voice said.

"Have you been enjoying your visit in Valla?" A female voice asked.

We turned around to see the blue haired women and a black haired man that we meet before!!

'Well f***' Dark said.

'Language' Luna thought to Dark.

Soon the shadow surrounding them disappears and...they look so much like Azura and Alex.

"Mother?!" Azura asked shocked.

"Father?!" Alex said in the same tone as Azura.

"This can't be possible!! You both-" Azura said but was cut of by the blue haired women.

"I am Arete." Arete, the blue haired women said.

"I am Arekkusu" Arekkseu, the black haired man said. (Me: Arekkseu is the Japanese name for Alex btw).

"Faithful servants to the great ruler of this land" Arete said.

"The mighty king Anankos" Arekksu said.

"No way....." Alex said covering (her/his) mouth with (her/his) hand.

"Servants?" Azura asked, her mother and step father.

"Of course, everyone who lives in Valla is king Anankos's servant." Arete said.

"Knowingly or not" Arekkusu said.

"and while we were unsuccessful the last time we met." Arete said.

"we will redeem ourselves today" Arekkusu said.

"mother...." Azura muttered.

"father....." Alex said.

"you were the mage we fought when we first come here, then..." Azura said.

"and you were the ones we fought the second time we came here..." Alex said.

"..." they both stayed silent.

"that means my father is....no..." Cookie said, as tears formed in her eyes.

"what vile magic is this? I know you said that Anankos could turn the dead to his will, but this..." Xander said.

"unbelievable. we have to fight, Azura and Alex's mother and father in order to proceed?" Ryoma asked.

"talk about family drama" Luna said, and she flu.

'not the time for jokes' Dark said.

"Azura... Alex....I can't imagine how this feels..." Kamui said.

"are you both alright?" I asked the duo.

"we're okay" Alex said.

"we know that these things isn't our mother and father" Azura said, say what?

"without any memories of being our mother and father." Alex said.

"you both are nothing more then puppets." Azura said.

"you both know that, didn't you?" Alex asked.

"'mother', 'father' what nonsense..." Arete said.

"....the only thing we know--the only thing we need to know--is this" Arekkusu said.

"you all must die" Arete finished.

"king Anankos has declared it be so" Arekkusu said.

"and we will fulfill his wishes!" Atete said.

'I'm already starting to hate them' Dark said.

"...get ready Kamui and (y/n)" Azura said.

"everyone else too...ready your weapons." Alex said, I could see that they are hurt inside.

"we're doomed if we don't get pasted them!" Azura said.

the battle began.

me and Alex partner up, I really felt bad for (her/him) and Azura.

I run up and transformed into my dragon form and attacked a shadow sword mater.

I used my water blast at him but it didn't kill him.

he ran up to me and tried to attack me, but I dodged it.

Alex used he magic to kill the shadow sword master.

I saw Kamui was with Azura taking down enemies near us.

I ran up to a shadow flyer or whatever class it is, I forgot and slashed it, Alex blasted it with fire magic.

we ran into a forest and saw a treasure chest and run up to it.

"you open it" I said to Alex.

"why?" Alex asked.

"because I don't have the ability to do it with out a key" I said, elbowing (her/him).

Alex sighed as (she/he) opened the treasure chest and we got some power up or something.

"cool" I said.

we ran up to a shadow monster and I used fire blast at him.

"you won't stop me" me and Dark said at the same time as I used hydro pump at the shadow monster.

I ran up to Kamui and helped him by killing the shadow sword master behind him, LIKE A BO$$!!!

Kamui turned into his dragon form and used his tail to kill the shadow monsters that were around us.

in a way this is fun and scary at the same time...well war isn't fun at all.

soon 4 people came into the forest.

"what the-?" I asked confused.

"lady Kagura! lady Cookie! you both are alive!" one of the girls said.

"Ren?! Sataski?! how are you here?" Kagura asked.

"Ayla? Cherry?" Cookie asked, shocked too see a red head girl with white and red armor, and a purple haired girl with black and purple armor.

"we followed you guys here" Sataski said.

"ya, we killed a few of those things on the way here" Cherry said.

"that will explain the blood on your weapons" Cookie said, sweatdroping.

"are you gonna tell us who they are?" I asked.

"oh, I'm Ren, Lady Kagura's retainer and i'm a Wyvern rider" Ren said.

"i'm Satsuki, another retainer of Lady Kagura and i'm an outlaw" Satsuki said.

"i'm Cherry, a retainer of Lady Cookie and i'm a mercenary from nohr" Cherry said.

'that will explain the black and purple armor.' Dark said.

"i'm Ayla and i'm a master of arms and i'm from hoshido" Ayla said.

"that will explain the white and red" Luna said.

"we're here to fight" Ren said.

"glad to have you" Kamui said.

I saw Cookie turned into her dragon form and fly up and blasted all the enemies like it was nothing.

I used dragon vein to destroy the trees that was blocking me and Alex way to Arete and Arekkusu.

we ran up to them.

"everything that we do" Arekkusu said.

"we do it in the name of the great Anankos" Arete said, they are crazy that's for sure.

I used my yato to slash Arekkusu, it took a lot of his HP.

Alex blasted Arete with (her/his) magic and stole 50% of her HP.

Arekkusu used his magic to attack us but I blocked it with my sword.

"I make my own fate" I said and attacked them with all my power taking them down.

"you seem....stronger then before" Arekkusu said.

"we should have accounted for that" Arete said.

we have won the battle.

"you've fought well, we must retreat" Arekkusu said.

"but you haven't seen the last of us" Arete said, then they teleport away.

"mother..." Azura said,  eyes slightly widen in sadness.

"father..." Alex said with the same face as Azura.

"Arete and Arekkusu gave no indication that they would spare us. had they won the battle. it's sad but that was definitelynoy your mother and father." Ryoma said.

Cookie hugged Azura and Alex.

"we know...." Alex and Azura said.

"we just never thought we'd see them again" Azura said.

"much less like this" Alex said.

"it's....not easy." Azura said, sadly.

"Ryoma is right" I said.

"those weren't your guys mother and father...." Kamui said,

"at least, not the women and man you guys remember them as." I said.

"my mother and lex's father taught us the songs we know." Azura said.

"but that's not all." Alex said.

"as their lives were fading away, they taught us all she could about the history of Valla." Azura said.

"Azura's mother and my father were special to us. they were the ones who showed us how to live." Alex said.

"it is entirely thanks to them that we're here. fighting against Anankos" Azura said.

"....their gone, Azura's mother and my father died." Alex said.

"even they look the same. without there souls in their bodies. that's not them." Azura said.

"will you guys be able to fight them?" I asked them.

"if we should run into them again?" Kamui asked.

"we think so" Alex said.

"yes. me and Alex can defeat them" Azura said.

"we know that's what they would have wanted us to do" Alex said.

"that means....my father is...." Cookie said, eyes widen in sadness and fear.

"gone" Xander said, Cookie tackled him into a hug and cried into his armor.
