By the way... I'm surprised that no one found out about something that is going to be revealed in this chapter. owo

On to the story~


No One's POV

"Oh no." Rena said.

The lasers all scrambled around and started to attack the Elgang.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

They got wounded and fell down.

"WUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! It is now your doom..." The silhouette laughed, grinning evilly. "Now, finish them, Seraph."

Seraph nodded. "Psychic Artillery."

"STOP!"

"?!"

Seraph stopped and looked at the source of the voice emotionlessly, along with the silhouette who looked at the culprit(?) in shock.

Sakra was standing there, exhausted from too much running.

"Ugh... You shouldn't have made too much corridors and rooms like this, you baka!" she scolded.

The silhouette glared at her.

"What do you want, Sakra..?" he asked, clearly annoyed for being interrupted.

"Didn't I say it before? Stop this nonsense already!" she yelled.

"And I should follow your orders, because...?" he asked, eyeing her.

"Cause... U-Um..." Sakra was clearly at a loss for words. The silhouette sighed in annoyance.

"If you think that he would help you, unfortunately for you, he won't. He locked himself up you see." The silhouette grinned in an evil manner.

"Huh?" Sakra was obviously puzzled to what he meant.

"Oh, that's right, you don't know! WUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Shame... He helped you too many times, and yet you didn't notice!" The silhouette laughed.

Sakra twitched in annoyance. "I don't get what you mean!" she yelled.

"That's alright, Sakra." Yaja suddenly came.

Everyone in the room stared at her, some with puzzled faces, one (the silhouette) with a shocked face, and some was alarmed by her presence.

"Yaja-nee..." She muttered.

"He doesn't want to tell you about it, but... you'll find out soon. Because... You're plans has incredibly failed...-" she paused and fires an energy bullet at the silhouette, who dodged it. "-Mastermind..."

There stood a strange-looking person, glaring at her now that they knew his identity.

"You..." he said with a cold tone.

"Wha..?" Eve and Nemesis was in shock. Chung and Chase looked at him with horror.

"I-IT'S THE STALKER! WHY'RE YOU HERE?!" They freaked out.

"I'M NOT A STALKER YOU IDIOTS!" he yelled back.

"YOU ARE! ... Wait... Where's your... Um... Stalking partner? Or your bro? Whoever it is." They asked with an innocent face.

Mastermind laughed. "Wuahahahahaha! He's not here anymore! I sealed him inside me!"

"WHAT?!" The elgang was shocked. "YOU SEALED YOUR OWN BROTHER INSIDE YOU?!"

"Yes... So what about it?" Mastermind grinned evilly.

"Release him!" Sakra said.

"That's not possible! He locked himself up! Even I won't be able to release him. Unless... he releases himself..." he said. His voice had a slightly sad tone... Yaja noticed this.

"Mastermind, you...-" she said, but was interrupted by his next words.

"But that's not my choice. It seems that he wanted his little "princess" In danger now that he's not here to protect her!" he laughed.

Sakra blinked. "Huh?"

Her sister looked at her with sympathy. "Sakra... You didn't notice..?"

Sakra looked puzzled.

"So that must be the reason that you locked yourself up, huh, Lunatic?" Yaja said. It was meant to be heard by said name, but whether he heard it or not, she doesn't know.

"It was pitiful, really!" Mastermind laughed. However, it seems as if it was a forced one.

"Now..." He summoned a drone or something that was flying which 3 doesn't know. (?)

"Install: Ultimate Fury!"

"Sakra!" Yaja shouted in shock.

Sakra gasped when the lasers were summoned, targeting her.

"K-KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-" she yelled.

"...Psychic Storm..."

A purple tornado appeared in front of Sakra, small at first, before turning larger and somewhat explodes... Reflecting all of the lasers away, somehow. (?)

Everyone gasped when they saw another person. Looking like a much more gothic version than Mastermind.

"Lunatic..?" Sakra said, shocked.

"You alright, there?" he asked. She nodded.

"H-How..?" Yaja was surprised.

Lunatic chuckled (?). "Seems that I still couldn't stand seeing Sakra hurt after all... And I thought that I could forget her, seems not..." he said.

Sakra blushed slightly. Seeing this, Yaja smiled.

'Yokatta... They like each other...' she thought.

"Lunatic... You're back..." Mastermind said, shock written all over his face.

"Of course, bro. You didn't think that I would disappear forever did you?" he said or asked. (?)

Mastermind wiped his tears away. (?) Yaja walked up to him and patted his back. (?)

"Yokatta..." he said.

Yaja smiled at him and said, "Now stop whatever you're doing, okay?" He nodded in reply. (3: Short battle? owo)


~Later~

~At the Castle~

"We apologize for all the trouble..." Sakra said, looking at the ground.

"Nah... Don't worry." Wind said, smiling.

"Say... What about Seraph?" Tactical asked, worried.

"Well... She's..." Sakra paused and pointed at Seraph who just came back. Tactical got tears in his eyes and hugged her. Dimension and Night joined in.

"You're back!" They cheered happily. Seraph smiled at them.

The Aras and Adds started to walk away, but Aisha's voice stopped them.

"Wait! What about you guys?" she asked.

"We'll go back to Sander." Yaja said.

"Sander? The neighboring kingdom?" Chung asked.

"I remember now... You're princess Sakra and Yaja. While you two... You're their butlers... (?)" Elsa, who was forgotten earlier along with Elesis(?) (#slapped), said.

"Yep. See ya." Lunatic said.

They walked away.

"Hey... What about sis?" Elsword asked.

"I'm right here, y'know?" Elesis, who was beside Elsa the whole time, said. The elgang except Elsa jumped in surprise.

"WHEN DID YOU GET HERE?!" they all shouted.

"...I was here the WHOLE time..." she said, sweatdropping.

"We'll return to being the leaders of the Red Knights. How about you, Elsword, Knight, and Infinity?" Elsa asked.

The trio looked at each other before saying, "We'll stay here."

Elsa and Elesis nodded. "We see..." they said.

"We'll see you around." Elsa said.

"Come and visit once in a while, okay?" Aisha said. The 2 red knight leaders nodded and left.

Silence came as soon as they left.

"Now... I wonder what will happen next..." Elsword said, looking at the blue sky.

(BGM: Innocence (Sword Art Online Opening)


~In the Sander Castle~

The Aras and Adds had just arrived and gasped in shock.

Corpses... They were everywhere... The maids... other butlers... and even the king and queen... has been killed... But what surprised them the most is a person in the middle of the room, wearing a black, blood-filled hood and cloak, and in that person's hand... was a sword that had killed them.

"W-WHO ARE YOU?!" Lunatic asked while yelling at the same time.

The person looked at them with its bright, red colored eyes that at the same time, held coldness within it.

The 4 of them flinched.

Sakra shivered in fear... Yaja was frozen in place... Lunatic and Mastermind glared...

The person just stared at them emotionlessly.

"... Naze watashi wa anata o tsutaeru hitsuyō ga arimasu ka?" The person said in a cold voice.

At the same time, a cold wind blew. Snow was beginning to fall from the sky. Something that was strange to happen on Sander, which was located in a desert.

~In Hamel~

"News! News!" A newspaper man (?) threw newspaper around as he walked.

Elsword, who was taking a stroll with the elgang, picked up a newspaper.

"What's the news today- Huh?" he widened his eyes in shock.

"What is it, Elsword?" Aisha asked and looked into the newspaper. Same thing happened, she widened her eyes.


NEWS!

The king and queen of Sander, along with their maids and butlers, are found dead inside their castle. The 2 princesses and their 2 butlers had just returned and saw this.

The culprit is unknown, but the investigation squad had found a snowflake on each victim.

According to the 4 witnesses, the culprit may be a male due to his voice. They also said that snow had fallen that time. Who could have done this?


"...What..?"


(BGM: Latale- OST Prologue Part 1)

~Somewhere~

"That was quick." A hooded person said.

"Meh." Another hooded person replied. "So, who's the next target?"

"Hm... King Helputt of Hamel."

"Oh? Seems interesting..." The hooded person said.

"Need any help?" His friend asked.

"Nah... I could take care of this easily..."

His friend chuckled. "Typical... Nope, I'm still joining. I won't let you get all the fun."

"Suit yourself." The hooded person shrugged.
