Man oh MAN do I wanna just say stuff and be like 'muhahahaha-' but you'll get no spoilers from meeeee!!! xD Anyways, that is my reply to all of your theories, guys xD Anyways, I believe this next chapter should clear a few things up, while confuse you even mean able... Oh! so there is going to be a bit of switching from one scene to another, so keep in mind of that. I put the 'scene-title' above each part anyways so. Enjoy Chapter 4: Eclipse Blossom Outside The Academy A large blueish cliff-like structure neighbors the academy. It is one of several main attractions because of the large blue blossom tree at the very top. There is a tourist trail that leads to the top, but it is hardly ventured since the cliff is more than three hundred feet tall. The cliff itself is massive in size. It spans out nearly as wide as the entire =SB= Base. It towers over the structures within the base, giving it a large amount of shade during certain hours of the day. A flash of light appears and spits out Fenroar form it. He lands with a light thud while making a 'oof' sound as he landed on his stomach. After laying there for a moment he rolls over and groans a bit. He relaxed for a moment, shaded by the large tree while the wind lightly breezed by. "Well-" Upon hearing a slightly muffled voice he quickly sat up. His eyes laid upon a robed and hooded figure with a black bandanna covering his mouth. The black robe made him nervous, as there have been a lot of them showing up lately. "-Congratulations, partner... You're official dead." The male removed his hood to reveal his face. Fenroar sighs with relief as he flopped onto his back again. The speaker looked exactly like Cross-Faith, only he didn't wear a hat which would cover his shoulder length braided hair. "Sorry pal, it was the best I could do in this situation. And trust me, faking your death wasn't easy." "I know, its fine." Fenroar replied as he closed his eyes and thought for a moment. "I wasn't expecting her reveal who she was. Threw me off a bit actually." "Could of fooled me. You didn't seem all too surprised if ya asked me." As Cross-Faith's brother finished talking Fenroar sat up and stretched a bit. "I always assumed it was her. Call it a gut feeling I suppose. But yeah, I guess you're right. I was expecting it to be her for so long that I guess I believed it regardless if she was the traitor or not..." "Hey, ease up there, pal. And you might wanna where this." He tossed Fenroar a black robe while finishing his sentence. Upon catching it he raised his eye brow a bit. He shook his head a little before he got up and put it on. He propped the hood over his head but paused for a moment. Rolling his eyes to himself he removed his hat and tossed it to the robed cowboy. "More evidence of my death, I guess... I want it back though." The cowboy simply nodded his head as he formed a cross made of light in front of him. He dropped the hat into the cross and watched it disappear in a flash of light. "So, am I getting a code name or something?" Fenroar asked as he adjusted the hood over his head. "I don't know. Normally we just go by a number and something after it... Well, you gotta climb up the latter in order to be among the XIII Royals. Right now, your robe number is one. All new recruits in the Unknown Royals start at one-" "I know, I just need to know how to climb the latter." The cowboy didn't reply after he cut him off. It wasn't because he was interrupted, it was the fact of explaining the process of 'climbing the latter' that bothered him. "I don't think you'll want to consume innocent lives, so I got a better idea... I'm currently a Rank VI Unknown Royal. Once you reach Rank III you'll be able to spawn Hauntmares. The number of Hauntmares increase with each rank. Not to mention it gives them different abilities once you reach Rank V-" "Wait... What exactly are Hauntmares? I mean, where do they come from?" Once again the cowboy paused for a moment. He cleared his throat and continued to answer his question. "The robe you're wearing is bound to you. Each time you take someone's life their Life-Essence gets absorbed into your robe, which turns their blood black and their bodies look dry as a bone... Once you collect enough Life-Essence your robe begins to change the LE into Dark-Hearts. Dark-Hearts can take may shapes once they're released from the robe. Their common and most basic form is the Hauntmare..." Fenroar's eyes were displeased and enraged. He has read several reports of people's bodies sucked dry. Most of the time they believe it to be one of the many creatures within Sonic Blast that leaves their prey in the same manner. His other reason for displaying such anger was about the cowboy and how he managed to reach such a high rank. "First off, you know me better than that. I collected this much LE by consuming low ranked Unknown Royals. I'm not going to lie, some of them I did kill, but the majority of them wised up and fled when I gave them the chance." Fenroar eased up a bit as he looked at the robe he wore. He now understood why he felt an addition source of power feeding into him. "So whats your plan?" The cowboy smirked as he crossed his arms and lowered his head a bit. "You're gonna kill off hordes of Hauntmares from me. Your robe will consume their LE and build from there... Any questions?" Fenroar smirked back as he shook his head no. Having done that, he paused for a moment and became serious. "Listen... I realize we're getting a little over our heads here. Knowing this you still haven't backed out or left me behind. There were several times you could of just let me get caught, even recently you could of let her kill me. You're taking huge risks of blowing your cover by helping me... I'm grateful, but I have to ask... Why?" The cowboy also became serious as he thought for a moment. He placed his hand under his chin as he nods his head slowly. "Lilfate... Your main focus is getting him back from the Royals, and trying to figure out why they wanted him to begin with. Not only have you and two others lied to Lord Fate about his son being alive, but you added to that lie by not telling Ludi and Rabid you hired me and my brother for this secret mission. After hearing your story and hearing that no one would do anything about Lilfate, me and my brother agreed to help... From that moment on the only darn thing that kept poking my brain was the question you just asked... Why... I've been with the Royals for some years now and I've yet to find or scoop up anything on Lilfate's whereabouts, neither am I closer to figuring out what they plan on using him for... I know of their current plan and their main focus, but not their overall agenda... So to answer your question, I've staid by your side because I want to know that same answer... Why the heck are they keeping Lilfate captive..." Fenroar lightly smiled at this answer. Though it was a bit grim to hear the results of his search, the fact that this has become more than just a job to him pleased Fenroar. "Thanks, Faith, if I haven't said it enough already." The cowboy smiles a bit and simply nods his head. It was at this point that Fenroar randomly thought of something. "Now that you mentioned Lord Fate, records showed that he was found with a Eclipse Blade. I'm aware that the Eclipse Blade is from the Unknown-XIII island, but what does it do?" ---------------- Inside The Academy "It is not your average sword used for fighting!" Otogi suddenly blurts out. She looked around for a moment as all eyes focused on her. Lord Fate just asked who killed Fenroar and she spews out something completely unrelated to the topic. "Um... If this some how answers Fate's question then-" "Yes! Yes it does-well... Actually, it does not in the way you would want it to... I mean..." Her voice went from loud to soft as her face changed from excitement to fear. She swallowed hard as she took a step back and felt sick to her stomach. She didn't like all the attention she was getting. "I-its from the Unknown-XIII Island..." Red quickly comments as he joined Otogi's side, mainly to give her support. She lightly smiled at his nervous smile, until he bumped her with his elbow to continue her speech. "Oh! Right... I use to tell Red-Boombox here a lot of folklore from my home town in the Private Zones under the RP Gardens. The story of the Eclipse Blade was one of many I was told as a child-" "The Eclipse Blade isn't a tale told only in the Private Zone of the Gardens, sadly to say. I come from the ShackSide Life, central city of ShackSide itself and this story was told to me too. So unless you know something I don't about this story-" "The blade is used as a portal..." Rabid cut off Pianta, still keeping his distance from the group in general. He wasn't even looking at them as he spoke, arms crossed and simply annoyed with this entire situation. "No... No its not a portal. Its far worst! Its has the-" "Look, newbie. We don't really care about your little story here. Someone is dead and all you can think of is myths?" Tricks interrupted her, leaning forward while placing her hands on her hips. Otogi was becoming even more nervous by the second. Not because of the Guardians, but that she herself would burst out in anger from being cut off so many times. "B-but... Master Fate-" "What part of shut-it don't you get!" Tricks screamed as she growled a bit. She was returned with a reaction she wasn't expecting. Otogi's eyes pulsated a black color when suddenly an invisible force bashed into the demon cat. Tricks smacked against the pillar they were all by, yelping a bit as she didn't expect such a force to hit her. Everyone was a bit wide eyed, including Rabid who actually saw something black move towards Tricks with blinding speed upon impact. He wasn't sure if he was seeing things or if Otogi lied about her abilities in her profile. Otogi herself gasped loudly as she cupped her hands to her mouth and lightly teared up. She mumbled the words 'I'm sorry' but no sound came from her mouth. "As much as I dislike seeing a Guardian get tossed around like that, I have a feeling what you have to say is more important at the moment... So take your time, relax, and explain yourself carefully... Okay?" Ludi seemed to calm her down with his words. She slowly nods her head as she fixed her eyes on the floor. Yami had already helped Tricks to her feet, who was cursing under her breathe while dusting herself off. "Okay... Um... Well, you are right, Master Rabid. It is indeed a portal. But it is far beyond just transporting things from one place to another..." ------------------ Outside the Academy "So you're saying it transforms things into Dark-Hearts?" Fenroar asked as he scratched his head a bit. "Sorta. Think of it as our robes. Once it becomes activated it consumes anything within its path and turns it into Dark-Hearts. Instead of building up LEs for the transformation into Dark-Hearts like our robes do, the sword does this process in one single step with whatever comes in contact with it. The Dark-Light path sucks in any and all LE within a thousand foot radius. If it consumes a large amount of LE within that radius, the radius itself will continue to expand. Not to mention that it will continue to pump out Hauntmares and many other Dark-Heart creatures." Fenroar listened intensely, picturing the entire thing in his head. He shakes his head a bit as his imagination of this event was not a pretty one. "That means this entire world could be consumed in a matter of days..." The cowboy nods his head to confirm Fenroar's thought. It suddenly hit him that they were in a lot more danger than he previously thought. "How did this come about? I mean, who would create such a thing?" ------------ Inside The Academy "M-my great grandfather made it. That is how I know of its true functions." Otogi comments with a bit of nervous, yet she stood there with more pride of this fact. "He was the greatest forger in the Gardens. He created an array of weapons, not just for the royals, but for the low-class citizens as well. He hid the plans and blueprints of the two swords-" "Time-out... What do you mean two sword?" Cross, Faith's brother, asked as he displayed a bit of confusion. Fate seemed to know something about this. He raised his hand up a bit to signal Otogi to stop for a moment and allow him to explain. "My father came to this great forger. He made a request, to make a sword with certain powers and abilities. He asked that the sword be presented as one, but actually be twin blades. Combined they display completely different powers than when they are separated. He demanded that both blueprints of both swords be separated. He kept one, and her great grandfather hid the other. What Otogi does not know, is that these swords were forged with dark materials. Items that are from a different realm than ours." ----------------- Outside the Academy "Faith... If Fate has one of the swords, where is the other one?" Upon hearing Fenroar's question Faith lowered his head in shame. He shook his head a bit as he tried to find the words to say. "I brought you up here for another reason, partner..." Fenroar began to tense up. His body seemed on high alert for some reason. Sweat began to form on his forehead as he intensely listened to Faith. "The thing about the Eclipse Blade, is that its name is how you activate it. If you align the two swords along with the sun or moon, the swords will automatically activate-" "Faith... Where... Is... The other sword." "If I brought you with me, I could ensure your safety. I could send you anywhere away from the consuming darkness that would soon spread-" "Faith!! Tell me where the damn blade is!!" Fenroar burst forward like a lighting bolt and tackled Faith into the base of the tree. His eyes were wild with panic as he pinned the cowboy with clenched fists digging into his robe. Faith had streams of tears running down his face. He kept his head lowered so he wouldn't look into Fenroar's eyes. "Faith! People will die if you don't tell me! This entire WORLD will be done for!! Tell me!" "Y-ya know... This is the highest spot next to the base... Well, the top of this tree would be the highest spot actually." His soft spoken words reached Fenroar but it wasn't the answer he wanted. That was until Faith finally looked at him with his teary eyes and lightly smiled. "I kind of looked up to you, partner... Now would be your chance to do the same." More tears poured out as he spoke his final words. In a flash of light Faith vanished without a trace. Fenroar shielded his eyes from the quick flash of light for a moment. He frantically looked around for Faith, panicking as he felt his impending doom creep upon him. Finally he realized what Faith was trying to tell him. He quickly looked up and squinted his eyes to see pass the many branches of the tree. There, shining like a diamond in a desert, was the blade floating a few feet above the blossom tree. Like a bolt of lighting Fenroar shot straight up into the sky. He appeared in front of the blade as pieces of branches and leafs floated briefly with Fenroar as he examined. Suddenly it started to hum, which made the human very nervous. Before he could react a dark aura covered it and began to grow. His eyes widen as a silver and white sphere began to take form and grow. Once it reached the size of a soccer ball it rapidly spun in place. Fenroar quickly zipped out of there as it shot a silver beam of light down towards the =SB= Base, aligning itself with the Guardian Academy. Free falling to the ground, Fenroar could only watch with horrified eyes as the beam of light crashed into the side of the academy. His eyes caught sight of the Blossom tree changing into a dark color as an evil howl came from the sword. His body eased up, his eyes slowly closed, and his mind blanked out as he continued to fall to his death. It was like his mind and body accepted that he had failed. Even if he could escape this free fall, how would he escape the darkness that already started to consume this world. His eyes flung open as he felt something warm beaming on his back. He slowly spun around to face the ground. His eyes were confused as he saw a glowing cross free falling with him, or rather under him. Suddenly the glowing cross erupts into pure light and engulfs him completely. Not even a second went by as his body hit solid ground. Once again he landed with an 'oof' sound as the wind was knocked out of him. The ground was cold, as well as the air around him. He felt a chill as he tried to get his breathe back. "Nice job, rookie... Way to place the 'mantle of doom' there." A familiar voice spoke to him. Knowing it was Faith he took his time getting to his feet. It wasn't until he realized he was surrounded by robed and hooded persons that his body became tense. He almost forgot that he too was wearing a robe until Faith reminded him. "Don't worry pal, the robe is a bit bothersome, but you'll get use to it... Keeps the Guardians out of our heads, and masks our presence. Its not fashionable, but you can decorate yours however you like." It all came back to him now, and he remembered his objective. "Whatever... I remember you keeping a certain promise if I put that doomsday stick above the tree." At this point he was simply playing along with Faith, seeing as all hidden eyes were on him now. Faith smirked as he crossed his arms. "That I'd be 'worthy' enough to kick you tail all over this place... Its okay to admit you're afraid of course. It'll just make this ass-kicking more enjoyable." Fenroar wasn't sure if he was trying too hard. However, Faith did say he'd rank up by killing off his Hauntmares. "Oddly enough, you're the first rookie that thinks he can take me... Guess I gotta show you why they don't dare step to me." With that said Faith uncrossed his arms and slowly got into his fighting stance. Fenroar did the same thing. Even if this was just a front, Fenroar would be fighting as if his life depended on it. Sonic Blast was his secondary mission. Finding Lilfate was his priority now. Even though it hurt Faith to do such a thing to his own home world, Faith always had a backup plan. Fenroar believed that Sonic Blast wasn't lost for good. Having this thought in mind, he was about to prove that he would shred anyone standing in his way from finding Lilfate. But first, he needed to become stronger among the Royals. "I didn't place a world in darkness just to fight you... I did that to prove that I can take you all on... If you're standing in this cave of a room, consider yourself a target... Consider yourself dead." In a blink of an eye, Fenroar shot off like a lighting bolt, following him were several screams of pain... --------------- Inside The Academy "So... Are we really that much in danger? I mean, Master Fate only came back with one of the swords." Red asked as he looked from person to person. Otogi simply shrugged at this question. She didn't really know where the second one was. In fact, she was surprised that Fate managed to come back with one. "Maybe the same girl that stabbed him with the sword has the other one, and might of killed Fenroar." It was at this point that everyone looked at Cross. No one knew how Fate's attacker looked like. "You... You saw her?" Yami asked as he moved closer to Cross. The cowboy slightly shook his head. "No, she was wearing a robe of some kind-" "Wait a second... No one is going to even question where Master Fate was all this time?" Tricks cut in, looking around as if everyone lost their minds. To which, everyone simply shrugged or shook their heads no. "In case you're forgetting, Fate as more reign to do whatever he wants than any of us... It sucks, but I don't mind it. He does all the grunt work while I sit back and do noth-" "Tricks..." Pianta spoke up as she fixed her eyes on Tricks wound on her arm. She paused her a moment as her heartbeat began to rise. "Where did you say you got that cut from?" Tricks raised an eyebrow for a moment before looking at her wound. "Horde of nasty little whatevers attacked me while I rushed the terminal they were flooding out of... Why?" "Two reasons..." Rabid spoke as he aimed his rifle at Tricks. The group turned towards Rabid and tensed up, not expecting for the guy to already have his gun trained on her. "First, those creatures attacked us as well. My cloths and skin have burn marks from their claws and teeth, not slashes... Second, Pianta can form varies weapons within her hand. Each time her weapon cuts something, your flesh for example, the wound opens the opposite way. Normally your average cutting weapon creates a wound that opens from the outside in. Pianta's weapons cut from the inside out, as if something came out of your skin, not slicing through it... You're wound is from the inside out..." Boom!!! The entire building shook with so much force that the lights and parts of the ceiling came crashing down. It was like an earthquake was triggered right under the academy. Everyone found themselves on the floor. The remaining lights flicked while sparks snapped from loose and dangling wires. A bit of dust settled from the violent shaking that just took place. One by one they all started to regain themselves and stand to their feet. A few of them coughed as they waved away the smoke. "That was... Totally unexpected..." Yami comments as he started dusting himself off. He suddenly shouts in pain as he felt someone body check him into a near by pillar that cracked due to the amount of force from the shove. "What the-Who the hell is this-" "Where the hell is your girlfriend, robe boy!" Pianta shouts as she formed a purple crystal like dagger in her free hand while her elbow was pressed against Yami's chest. "Pianta, calm down a bit-" "No!! How the hell do we know he isn't with them! He ALWAYS wears a robe to begin with!" Ludi sunk his head in a bit of a shame as he heard this. He sighs and shook his head before speaking. "We can't go around and accuse people of being a traitor just by their attire selection." "What about his affiliation with Tricks? Aren't they together or something?" Cross asked as he stretched his back a bit. Ludi thought for a moment, then shrugged with a slight nod. "Yeah, that could be held against him... Pianta, put a leash on him." "What!!" Yami shouts as his eyes widen with pure shock. Suddenly a dark purple glowing collar snaps around Yami's neck. Attached to it was a chain that was wrapped around Pianta's hand. "You'll have to earn our trust, Yami. Regardless of this recent discovery, we have other-" "We have to leave!!" Otogi suddenly shouts with pure fear coursing through her bones. Her entire body shook as she breathed heavily. Before she could say another word a loud evil howling sound roared from above, yet again shaking the entire building structure. "Cross, execute Seventh Ring. After that inform your brother where we are." Fate ordered as Cross just listened. He nods his head casually as he finished stretching. "Everyone, take a deep breathe... Oh, hope you can swim." Suddenly a blinding light shines from Cross as everyone tried to shield their eyes from the brightness. Within seconds the light consumes everyone and vanishes as quickly as it appeared. Everyone had vanished within the light, Fate and Cross included. As the light faded away a haunting darkness surged through the entire academy. Within minuets half of the base was transformed into a dark gloomy building with Hauntmares howling their awakening cries...
