Phenex Files Pt. 2: Hero
Immediately after the battle with Black Jackal, Asagi flies through the air away from the fires in the decaying area of the forest. Immediately after helping Daniel and taking down the Black Jackal. Asagi makes a beeline for his home in Jacksonville, Florida. His mind running with thoughts of the others. As he lands in front of the building he sighs opening the door when he's blasted by a ball of magic.
Asagi speaks while his breath leaving his body. "Why?!" He lands on the ground and whilst grabbing at the spot of impact sits up looking to see who blasted him. When he spots who it was he groans at her. "Enya, darling, you can't just blast someone when they open the door."
Enya shouts at the red headed Phenex, angered. "The House freaking blew up and you vanished! What did you expect me to do?!"
Asagi groans falling back, nearby hiding in a rooftop a person watches, his hair white as he stares down at the group. "That's fair, I guess..." Asagi says laying on the floor fully again.
[Phoenix Files Part 2: HERO]
[Four Years Later]
After the battle with Kokabiel, Asagi sighs knowing that this will be his first break from jobs in months. Asagi relaxing for a moment looks to his team and smiles at them to a mixed reaction.
Enya returns the smile looking to her boyfriend. "Its nice to see you smiling again."
Damien smiles as well lowering his crossword puzzle fully relaxing. "Yeah, I can agree to that."
Raynare glances to Asagi and scoots back away from him. "It's kinda creepy if you ask me."
Joel grins patting the fallen Angel on the shoulder. "Be nice, Raynare."
Raynare rolls her eyes. "Fine. Why are you smiling at us like that?"
Asagi lets out a small chuckle whilst turning away from the group. "I don't know. I just... feel like we're finally being allowed some time to rest after years of hard work."
Raynare raises a brow. "What?"
Damien chuckles as well. "I hear that."
The pair stand together looking into the distance as this image fades cutting to Asagi sitting in silence in a dark and empty room the only things in the room with him being CrossFire as it drips with a dark liquid that appears to be pooling below it. The door to the room he's in opens as he slowly glances back past his disheveled red hair.
"Get out." He speaks, his voice raspy as if he hasn't drunken in days,
"Come now, Phenex, squad mates should get along don't ya think?" The person in the door way speaks with a grin, his voice smooth, with a hint of darkness to it.
Asagi glares at the white haired man. "Get out." Asagi growls very quietly at the white haired male. He then looks towards the door he exited through.
The screen then shows Asagi seated on a plane with Damien, Joel, and Enya next to him in the private jet. Each doing their own things. Joel lays his head against a chair relaxing. Damien flips through his crossword puzzle books, Enya asleep. Asagi smiles to himself as he keeps aware of his surroundings. As he glances up when the bathroom door opens.
Asagi glances back to Crystal stretching closing the door. "You enjoy yourself Crystal?"
"Yup. By the way, where's Raynare?"
"She's with the pilot."
"Who's the pilot?"
"I'm owed a few favors. I'll leave it at..." His cup begins floating into the air alerting him. "...son of a bitch." Asagi spawns his wings and bursts through cockpit door finding Raynare unconscious and the pilot dead he takes control as Joel joins him. "Joel. Grab Raynare, Crystal get the others!" Asagi is very clearly perturbed by the sight of the pilots corpse.
He uses a magic circle to open the plane allowing for the others to fly out as he directs the plane away from a nearby city aiming for the ocean. Just before impact Asagi burns the body of the pilot turning the body to ash upon impact while he flies through the hole watching as it nosedives into the water. Joel, carrying Raynare, Enya & Damien fly next to him
Joel turns to Asagi. "Any idea what that was about?"
Asagi looks towards the sinking remainder of the plain muttering to himself. "He's alive...?"
"Hey. Asagi!" Damien snaps his fingers getting his attention.
Asagi finally focuses on the group his eyes clearly stunned by his finding.
"Asagi? What's wrong?" Enya asks also concerned.
"Have Crystal take Raynare to Kuoh with Azazel. I have news for Ruval... and father." Asagi gives the orders immediately, and swiftly makes a glyph for himself and the others.
Cut back to Asagi now eating a small tray of food, this meal consisting of a few slabs of meat, a blob of mashed potatoes, and assorted vegetables. He silently eats ignoring the other presences in the room with him. One with light gray hair. A green shirt under a dark jacket and dark pants. Next to him, the white haired male who spoke to him prior. The pair speak to each other.
"So? Vali, I hear the plans for his attack are under way?"
Vali shakes his head. "The trickster isn't ready yet. The meeting needs to happen and we need to reveal ourselves before he can start."
"That's... wonderful. Well, we might as well fill in our guests."
Vali scoffs. "Why did you bring a Phenex here? Against his will no less."
"He is a valuable asset. His close association should lead to better attack strategy's. Wouldn't you agree, Asagi?"
Asagi doesn't respond as he jams his spoon into the steak.
We cut to a resplendent palace the building seemingly under repairs. Five individuals currently stand outside the building. On the steps overlooking a grand entrance field. The five individuals being Lord Phenex, Lord Tempest, Riser Phenex, Ruval Phenex, and Revar Phenex. As a magic circle forms on the ground at the bottom of the steps. Exiting the circle Asagi stands with Enya, Joel & Damien the four all readied for a conflict. Lord Phenex leads the group down the steps as Asagi meets them halfway.
Lord Phenex speaks out to his son in a grandiose fashion Asagi ignores this, and walks up the stairs. "Welcome home, son."
"Father. I have... troubling news."
Lord Phenex's gaze turns series. "Troubling?"
Ruval steps forward, the heir to the Phenex house crossing his arms. "How troubling?"
Riser scoffs. "It must be something if you're resorting to your family, little brother."
Asagi shakes his head. "As much as I'd like to speak of it here. It'd be best if this news was relayed in private first." Asagi begins leading the group through the palace as they've made their way inside and begin walking down several corridors towards a darker, far darker area.
Lord Phenex catches his sons drift and turns to the others. "Very well. Riser, Revar, fan out your peerages around the palace. Send word to Ravel and my wife to evacuate the staff to the safe house. I want my peerage to be here before the end of the hour. Lord Tempest, if you'd like your son can join Ravel in evacuations."
Lord Tempest nods. "Yes, he's far too young to be involved with matters this grim yet."
Ruval steps forward. "Father, Sir if I may, I'd like Riser to be placed in charge of the defense team."
Riser scoffs. "I'm not missing out on this news."
"Riser, be quiet. Why request this Ruval." Their father inquires from his eldest son.
"I believe Riser could use the experience in leading a defense pact. And as Revar's peerage is mostly made of defensive fighters, and Riser's consists of high offense, it'd be best to send an offense strategist in case of a long range attack. I recommend my queen be placed as the second in command."
"Yes, he is well suited to lead a defensive fight. I will accept your request. Riser meet with Ruval's queen and gather yours and Revar's peerages. Asagi, let's not wait further."
Lord Phoenix opens a door and allows for the others to enter as Riser leaves the group and Revar closes a magic circle to his peerage following the others lingering ever so slightly a gaze on Joel. The room barren and colorless is lit by a series of candles. Asagi takes a seat on the opposite side of his father who sits at the head. He glances to Ruval & Revar seated in between Asagi's peerage & Lord Tempest.
"You look perturbed, son, what news have you brung?"
Asagi sighs, his mouth covered slightly by his hands as he speaks grimly. "Recently I fought with Kokabiel alongside Daniel Star. However, after the fight upon my return home, the vehicle my team was traveling on was attacked. Our pilot, a human named Anakin, was killed by what appears to be Black Jackal. I fear he may be making a move to attack those connected to or to attack members of the Phenex house."
Lord Tempest speaks, as he looks to Asagi fully serious. "If this is true, then I shall warn those under my watch. I'd recommend everyone associated with us be warned as well."
"Yes. Ruval, gather your knights, have them make the rounds and inform the other household heads."
Ruval bows his head before standing. "Yes, father." He stands and makes his way out of the room.
Asagi leans back in his chair briefly as a magic circle forms, Raynare & Crystal rush out as Raynare barely falls through however before the circle closes it suddenly turns black and explodes filling the room with smoke.
Asagi reaches forward for his teammates. "No!" He's blasted back after drawing CrossFire.
Enya & Joel draw their weapons meanwhile Damien rushes forward grabbing Crystal and Raynare dragging them back and away from the fight as Lord Phenex & Lord Tempest take ahold of the pair allowing for the young male to draw his weapon.
Damien raises his rifle kneeling in front of the two heads of households. "Please allow us to make up this defense, Lord Phenex."
He nods as Lord Tempest and himself take Raynare & Crystal to the rear as Asagi groans trying to stand.
"Damien, stay by him, okay? Enya orders raising her blade for battle.
Damien nods. "Yeah, I know." He creates a glyph that summons his Winchester Rifle.
The trio stand ready to fight when the wall next to them explodes revealing members of Riser's peerage. Enya eyes them doubtingly as they all draw their weapons Ile & Nel attack Enya the pair using a chainsaw each she's forced to block and avoid attacks from the pair. Joel jumps back avoiding an attack from Xuelan she's blasted back by Damien using his rifle.
Damien growls. "Enya, stay with them. Joel, grab your AR-15. I'll deal with her. There's still two more." He fires another shot at Xuelan. "Go now!"
Joel does as he's told summoning an AR15 Arma Light and releases a few precise bursts at Burent, Marion, and barely misses Siris who goes to rush at him when she's blasted back by a flame sent by Asagi.
Asagi growls at her survival. "Son of a-!" "He fires a second stronger blast at Siris. He stands a magic circle forming above his hands and an item falls into his hand revealing an Benelli M4 Shotgun that he uses to continue blasting the knight away. "Make a fighting retreat! Inform each of my brothers of the events."
Siris grins as she stares at Asagi. "It won't do you any good. What's happening to you is happening with each of their peerages."
"So, there'll be no qualms when you die?" Asagi inquires.
"Jackal has a price your head. But the chance to destroy the entire clan... that was Master Kael's plan."
Asagi glances back puzzled. "Kael?" He turns back to Siris confused. "Einz?"
Siris shakes her head. "No."
Asagi smirks after she speaks blocking her sword with his arm before reaching with the blocked arm grabbing the hand holding the blade. He pulls her forward placing the end of the shotgun to her jaw loaded with magical energy. "I'll get answers from Jackal." He fires the gun into her skull.
The others are stunned by his blatant murder of the knight that it allows for Enya to take advantage and using her blade to sever the arms of Ile. Nel seeing this charges at Enya. Joel takes advantage redrawing his sword and quickly decapitating Burent and stabbing the blade into Marion's spine separating it in two.]
Joel hums. "Hey, that was fairly easy."
Marion looks up at the others speaking to herself weakly. "Master Kael... we failed..."
Damien finally defeats Xuelan loading his magic into his Winchester and blasting a hole through her chest he kicks her away afterwards towards Asagi's sword.
Damien turns towards Asagi. "We should go-"
An Explosion bursts out from near Xuelan's body forcing Asagi and Damien back. When they recover Asagi grabs CrossFire from mid-air as he, panicked, looks around for Enya & Joel.
Style Kael walks forward swatting away the smoke. "Well, you failed more spectacularly than I anticipated." Style pushes the hair in his face out of the way before he nods forward, two dirty rags dash forward grabbing Enya & Joel wrapping them up. Asagi extends CrossFire towards Style as Damien aims his Winchester Rifle. "I wouldn't, not unless you don't care for their lives. I could understand why though. A simple boy, who can speak to Dragons & a girl, who should've died a decade or so ago.
Asagi locks eyes with Enya, Asagi's breath shakes as Damien's eyes only grow darker. "Stand down.. He lowers CrossFire.
Damien glances to his best friend. "Sir?"
Asagi lowers his head. "Stand down, now..."
"Asagi, if we don't-"
A single tear falls from Asagi's face. "Damien please. I don't want to lose the three of them."
Damien turns his head full to Asagi. "Three-?" He realizes what Asagi means. "No... when? How?! Why?!"
Asagi lowers CrossFire as Damien lowers his rifle. Himself not making eye contact with anyone. Asagi looks behind everyone hearing boots clicking. We see a pair of black boots rising up from them the body of Xuelan drops now only a husk with her clothes the only way to recognize her corpse. As it rises it reveals Black Jackal, his armor now evolved.
"Oh, a child now, Asagi?" Jackal taunts.
Damien glares at the foe. "That's Jackal?" He asks.
Asagi nods. "Yeah..."
Damien glances to Joel who moves his eyes from side to side reading Damien's mind & body, however this doesn't convince him he lifts his rifle and fires at Jackal who moves Joel in the way causing the bullet to hit Joel in the leg.
Asagi reacts quickly grabbing the gun from Damien. "Stop!" He throws Damien's Rifle across the room before turning to Jackal. "What... What do you want?"
"Well, it's not what I want. But..."
Style sighs. "Our boss wants you to join us."
Asagi glares. "And who's "us"?"
"The Chaos Brigade. You have only two choices. Kill him..." Style gestures to Damien. "...and join us, or refuse and Jackal kills them." He gestures to Enya & Joel.
"You... you want me to make that choice...?" Damien curses under his own breath as the situation dawns on Asagi fully.
"I... I can't... I can't kill him..."
Damien smiles. "Hey... boss."
Asagi glances to a smirking Damien as he walks toward him drawing a pistol and shooting by Asagi's arm forcing his blade to be pointed towards Damien who throws his pistol at Style before running himself through with Asagi's sword. Asagi looks in shock to his friend. "I trust you whole heartedly... Asagi." Damien says with a smile
Asagi takes a step back and falling backwards. Asagi looks to Damien his eyes widened before we cut to black
End
[Post Credit Scene]
Cut to Raynare & Crystal as they sit in front of Azazel who has Vali & Asriel standing behind him.
"So, we have to deal with one of the Kael's... and Jackal." Asriel sighs with the new information. He turns to Azazel. "Shall I inform my informants?"
Azazel shakes his head. "No, I'm sure Sir Zechs already knows this. Though, I'd like you to inform Lerajie & Alabaster. They should still be stationed in London."
"Yes, Sir. I'll be back before the meeting."
Azazel grins. "Understood."
