Vol 2 Chapter 38: A Roll Call Before The Trip
Happy 100 Chapters everybody. I'm happy that you all have stuck with me on this one. It's had its ups and downs but you all remained. I couldn't have asked for a better fan base than you all!! Cheers to 1M too. Couldn't have hit either milestone without all you beautiful people. :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Amagi: ".. Everything set up?"
Siduri: "Seems like it"
The two were sitting in the couch with 2 sheets of paper.
Amagi: "The people going will be Mordred, Momo, the two Valkyries that Lord Odin lend us, and an ally that from the Shinto faction that will be waiting for us there"
Siduri: "Are you sure that'll be enough?"
Amagi: "Whatever problem it may be, I'm sure they can handle the situation"
Sona: "I'll go let them know"
Sona got up and ran out the room as Brynhildr looked at the sheets carefully.
Brynhildr: "So you, Siduri, X and Eucliwood will be staying behind?"
Amagi: "Yes. Unfortunately, there's still a lot of work for us to do. The rest have done their part in aiding us and I can't thank them enough for it"
Siduri collapsed on the chair as she closes her eyes.
Siduri: "I'm going to be seeing numbers in my sleep again"
Amagi: "I'm sure we'll be caught up with all the work soon.. I hope"
Amagi dropped back into the sofa as she sighed in exahustion.
Amagi: "I'm surprised the Commander was able to do all of this while balancing school too. He truly is wonderful"
Siduri: "Just as long as he doesn't overwork himself to death. It runs in the family"
Amagi: "It does?!"
Brynhildr had walk out of the conversation as she sensed something in the room since she arrived. She approached the desk that the Prince of Heroes would usually work at and noticed a sort of door hiding underneath his chair.
Amagi: "Lady Brynhildr?"
Brynhildr: "May I interrupt you all for a minute?"
Amagi: "Hm?"
Amagi got up from her seat and walked over to the valkyrie who pointed towards the hidden door.
Brynhildr: "What might that be?"
Amagi moved the chair and tried to look for a handle.
Amagi: "It just has a keyhole. Strange, I don't think I've seen a lock like this?"
Siduri: "WAIT, WHAT?!"
She fell off the bed and quickly made her way to the other two. Upon arriving, she inspected the keyhole and noticed something.
Siduri: "A key with the most complex design is needed. A key he does not own anymore. A key he gave out"
Brynhildr: "Lord Y/n's most trusted ally, who is it?"
Siduri: "Shouldn't it be obvious?"
She grinned while looking at Amagi.
Amagi: "Eucliwood"
The three race out of the room in route to the L/n Queen's sleeping quarters. While on their way though, they encounter X, Sona and Mordred who were walking the opposite direction.
Sona: "Oh? There you all are-"
Amagi: "Let's go!!"
Sona: "Huh?"
The 3 follow after the group until they arrive at Eucliwood's room. It had seals placed that would fall once Eucliwood managed to get herself under control. They were still up.
Amagi: "We've arrived. This is Commander's first friend since arriving here. If anybody should have that key, it would be her"
Siduri put a hand over the handle as she looked at the rest.
Siduri: "What will we even find when opening the door?"
X: "Our friend. Someone who needs us there"
Siduri nods as she turned the handle and pushed it forward.
Siduri: "Eu?"
They walk in to see most of the room incased in a barrier while Eucliwood sat on her bed with her face buried in her knees.
Amagi: "Eucliwood"
She looked up slightly before burying her face back.
Eu: "What is it?"
Amagi: "We need your help"
Eu: "Did you find him?"
X: "Not yet"
Eu: "I want to see him again"
Mordred: "So do we"
Eucliwood put her notepad down as she threw herself onto the pillow.
Amagi: "I know what you're feeling, we all are.. Eu, we need you"
Eucliwood covered herself up and seemed to be shaking a little.
Eu: "It hurts worse than you know"
Eu: "You can't understand it"
Eu: "He got captured because of me!!"
Mordred: "STOP BLAMING YOURSELF!!!"
The Knight banged her fist on the window as the rest looked over to her.
Mordred: "Master did not get captured because of you!!.. Eu, I know you've known him the most so I get that it hurts"
She banged her head on the barrier as she clenched her fist.
Mordred: "But that doesn't mean your pain hurts any worse than ours!!!"
Amagi: "Pain isn't something we are supposed to measure. It's something we all should heal together, equally. No pain is bigger than losing someone you love, and we've all lost that someone we love"
Mordred: ".. Eu, we all need to stop sulking, that includes me!! We need to do this or master will NEVER come back!!.. please"
She falls to her knees from venting a little as X puts a hand over her shoulder.
Mordred: "I don't know what it may be that Amagi needs, but I'm sure it can help out in the search.. Eu, we all need your help. You're the Queen. When the King falls, we all turn to you for orders.. A King that's weak will lead to the eventual collapse of a Kingdom"
For a second, the room fell in silence as they all sat back and felt that sense of hopelessness once more.
*tear*
They turned back outside to see the seals fall one by one. The cube had begun to slowly fall as they tried to make sense of the situation.
Mordred: "What-?!"
Eucliwood had rose up from the bed and dropped down to the floor with her notepad in hand. She was writing something and stopped just infront of the group.
Eu: "Thank you"
She turned the page up as she stuck a thumb out.
Eu: "I am the L/n Queen"
She still looked hurt but did her best to muster her strength.
Eu: "You're right.."
Eu: "I have to be strong.."
Eu: "Or I won't see him again"
X: "That's our Queen"
X, Amagi, and Mordred went over to hug her as Brynhildr tapped Sona on the shoulder.
Brynhildr: "It seems like she's somewhat returned"
Sona: "It took some time but.. It's good to see her trying to do something. Ever since I've known her, she's always stuck by Y/n, never leaving his side unless it's something important"
She looked at the group and smiled a little.
Sona: "She's going to have to do this without Y/n, but she isn't alone. She's got a family with her. Come on, I'd like to know what important matters happened that you all rushed her"
Eucliwood overheard them and turned to Amagi.
Eu: "What do you need help with?"
Amagi: "Right, did Commander ever give you some sort of key?"
She reached into her shirt to pull put a necklace with a miniature key on it.
Eu: "This?"
Siduri: "That's it!!"
She walked over to it but saw that it was too small to fit in the hole. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Siduri: "*sighs* It should be bigger"
Eucliwood pulled it off as the key immediately grew in size.
Siduri: "It can do that?!"
Brynhildr: "What are we waiting for? Let's go"
Amagi: "You're right, let's move guys"
Once the group return to the meeting room, they walk over to the desk and insert the key inside. The sound of many gears turning is heard before a click let everyone know that the door was now unlocked.
Amagi: "It's open"
She went over to see if she could lift it but it opened on its own, revealing stairs down.
X: "Want me to take the lead with you?"
Amagi: "I'd feel safer that way"
The group walks down the stairs to see golden walls leading the hallway down to a door.
Amagi: "Please try not to break anything"
Mordred: "How can we break anything? It's just a hallway"
Amagi: "You'll find a way"
Mordred: "Oi"
They walked down the long corridor and were met by another keyhole with a handle.
Amagi: "We'll use it again?"
She inserted the key which led the door to open once again. Amagi turned to the rest and nodded.
Amagi: "Here we go"
She pushed the door to find a large room with a sort of containment.
Sona: "What is this?"
As they waltz in the containment had a large see through window where the group noticed a bed and restroom in the open.
Mordred: "Was someone kept in here?"
They noticed a lot of desks full of experimental items on them.
Amagi: "Is this, a collar?"
X: "It has some odd design-"
Upon touching it, she sensed a beast aura coming from it.
X: "What the hell is this?"
She opens a drawer and finds a notebook with the title, Beast X. As she pulls it out, X turns to the first page and finds the same collar on it.
X: "Beast tamer. This collar will be placed on the beast's neck and forcibly put it under control (It shuts down their powers) [Still in process]"
She turns the page and notices a gun with a large title over it.
X: "Black Barrel... It doesn't have any description on it"
Sona: "It looks like a regular rifle"
She continues to look through the weapons, even finding some he's already used.
Amagi: "It's Commander's Empyrean Musashi"
Eu: "What's that?"
X: "Anu is the weapons name. This sword is used to cut open the sky and athmosphere to reveal a constellation. It channels the fire power of the stars and drops it over the enemy/enemies"
Mordred: "I WANT THAT!!!"
There was suddenly a divider that spilt the weapons to the spells the Prince of Heroes was working on.
Sona: "Should we really be peeking into his work?"
X: "He won't mind"
Amagi: "Ninsun?"
X: "It is a protective barrier that symbolizes Gilgamesh's mother protecting him by praying to the God Utu to bless her son and Enkidu on their journey.. It has an incredible shield capable of holding back a 2/3 powered Ea *gulp* I wonder how he managed to find out that?"
Mordred: "No way he actually fired it at himself?!"
X: "That's enough. We can ask master about this when he comes back.. For now"
She puts it away and walks over to the cell.
X: "Who was in here?"
She opened the door and everyone felt am aura leave the room that reminded a few in the group of one person.
X: "..."
Mordred: "..."
Amagi: "..."
Eu: "..."
Sona: "What the hell is this?!"
Brynhildr immediately closes the door as everyone is able to relax a little and breathe.
Amagi: "W-What the-.. I felt like I was about to collapse"
X: "We need to find master.. and ask him what he was doing here all this time"
Brynhildr: "Before that, we have to put everything back like how it was. Amagi, you still need to work on what the Kyoto team has to do, did you not?"
Amagi: "R-Right. *clears throat* I have the team assembled. Mordred, you're going to be leading the team to Kyoto were a Shinto faction hero will be waiting for you guys. Apparently they require some help"
Mordred: "Shinto faction?"
Amagi: "Commander was maintaining a good relationship with the head Goddess over there. I don't want to break off his hard work so I'll be sending a few of our team to help out"
Mordred: "So I'm going then? Alright, I won't let you down"
Amagi: "Good"
They leave the room and close it off once again until the King of Kuoh returns.
Amagi: "We'll send you off tomorrow. For now, train or rest up. Up to you"
Eu: "I want to go to"
Amagi: "You can't go. Hades is still after you and-"
Eu: "You said you needed the Queen to step up.."
Eu: "As the Queen, I'm going to do that.."
Eu: "Mordred was right.."
Eu: "I depend on Y/n too much.."
Eu: "I have to show that I'm strong.."
Amagi: "Eu-"
Eu: "If I show that I'm vulnerable and weak.."
Eu: "Kuoh will look weak too.."
Eu: "I refuse to spit in Y/n's face like that.."
Eu: "He worked hard to make it look strong.."
Eu: "To heal Kuoh. I WILL go to Kyoto. Queen's orders.."
Amagi looked at the L/n Queen with worry as she knew she was hunted by a powerful God.
Amagi: ".. *sighs* I guess you win then. Just.. promise me you'll be safe"
She gives her a thumbs up as she pulls out her scythe.
Eu: "If Hades wishes to capture me, let him try.."
Eu: "I'm doing being dependant and weak.."
Eu: "When we get back Y/n, I'll show him that I'm strong.."
Eu: "Strong enough to be able to walk by his side"
Mordred: "You aren't the only one"
She pat Eucliwood's head as she grinned.
Mordred: "She'll have me and the rest of the team there. We'll keep her safe Amagi"
Amagi: "I'll put my faith in you all"
Brynhildr: "Then if that's done, I guess you won't need us to guard the house any longer?"
Amagi: "We appreciate the protection you gave us Lady Brynhildr. Thank you all for your hard work. I'm sure you all are anxious to see your familes once more. Thank Lord Odin for me if you can"
Brynhildr: "Will do. I'll let Rossweisse know of the plan you got. From what I know, she too will be going to Kyoto"
Mordred: "Rossweisse? Haven't seen her in a few weeks. I'm glad to be able to talk and maybe train with her again if she's up for it"
Brynhildr: "I'll pass on the message to her as well... Is it true that.. She.."
She looked a little nervous which confused the group.
Sona: "Lady Brynhildr?"
Brynhildr: "I overheard from Lord Odin that she'd be having Lord Y/n's child in the near future-"
Amagi/Eu/Mordred: "NO!!!"
X: "Maybe?"
Mordred: "FATHER!!"
X: "*shrugs shoulders* He did do it with Kaga. I'm sure he can do it with whomever he wants at the moment. That includes you so be prepared-"
Mordred: "STOP!!!"
