[COMIC]Grand Chase rewritten

This is not included in the 5 Episode marathon.
ENJOY!!

Three weeks passed, and the vacation is over.
The team is packing up and heading to Silverland to find their comrade, Jin.

[Amy]
Ok that's about it.......

Amy has done packing Jin's belongings since he totally forgot about it last time.

[Amy]
*sigh*
Lazy ass.......
Ok, now how the hell I'm going to carry this stuff out?

Amy ponders awhile thinking on how to carry it.

[Amy]
OH YEAH!

Amy figured out something and snaps her finger.

[Amy]
Well let's do this!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

[Ronan]
Arme did you packed your stuff already?

[Arme]
Just a minute!

[Ronan]
You said that a minute ago!
*sigh*

[Arme]
Just........about.........there.....

Arme is packing while Ronan is waiting.
A typical newlywed scene.

[Ronan]
Wait since when we got married?

I have no idea.
I just read the script.

[Ronan]
...................

[Arme]
Ok I'm done!

[Ronan]
FINALLY!

As Ronan turn his head around-

[Ronan]
HOLY SH--!!!
WHAT THE FU-- IS THAT!!!!!?????

[Arme]
My luggage.....
What?
Too big?

[Ronan]
.........
I was expecting it but.............IT'S GETTING BIGGER!!!!

Seriously what the hell did you packed Arme?

[Arme]
Ermm my blow dryer, my clothes, toiletries, skincare, and stuff...........

[Ronan]
..........
Did you went shopping in Rich's world...........AGAIN?

[Arme]
N-NO I DIDN'T!
I SWEAR!

Here dude, watch this.
I recorded everything.........

[Ronan]
...............
Arme.

[Arme]
Heheheheheheh.......

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Lire]
Ok Ryan, decision time!

[Elesis]
NOW CHOOSE!

[Ryan]
Ermmm........
Errrr...........
DAMMIT I CAN'T CHOOSE!!!!
CAN'T I CHOOSE BOTH!!!!?????

[Elesis]
NO!!!

[Lire]
You're getting greedy Ryan!

[Ryan]
BUT BUT!!
BOTH ARE MY BELOVED!!!!

[Elesis]
NO!
IT'S EITHER THE PLAYSTATION OR THE LAPTOP!!

[Ryan]
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Ryan is in a pinch since he can't bring both the PS3 and Laptop.
What?
You thought it was either Elesis or Lire?
Pffttt yeah right!

[Ryan]
Dammit why!!!

---------------------------------------------------------------------

[Cross]
Damn they're late....

Cross, Sieg, Dio, Fixer and our very own Author is already at the compound, waiting.

[Richard]
Yo dude got any three's?

[Sieg]
Nope sorry bud.
What about you?

[Dio]
Nah I got nothin.

This three are playing cards all day, waiting for the others to arrive.
Lol they're like the three stooges.

[Cross]
Well they ARE the three stooges.

[Sieg]
Guilty.

[Dio]
Got me there.

[Richard]
Yeah just a sec.

That's all the lines they've been respond every time Cross was talking to them.
Lol you just got owned.

[Cross]
Yeah yeah, just don't rub on my face will ya?

[Seyren]
Yo!

[Kathryne]
Sorry we're late!

[Cross]
Damn straight you're late.
Where's the others?

[Seyren]
Packing.
Everyone is deciding the last minute.....

[Cross]
*sigh*
Ok tell them we're moving in three minutes.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Three minutes passed, and none of them arrived.
Let's just say all of them were at the compound three hours later and got flamed by Cross.
Which is pretty funny.
Arme almost cried.
And so as Ryan.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

[Cross]
Ughh.......
Seriously.........
Anyway let's go.
Every luggage MUST be inside Amy's purse from now on since we're going on bikes.

[Elesis]
Then how the hell we're going to cross the sea?

[Richard]
That's why I'm here.
Ok check this noobies.
I made a bridge that runs ON the seabed, and don't worry since it's full of air and you won't get drown.......AGAIN.

[Ryan]
Hopefully it won't crack or anything.
*shivers*

------------------------------------------------------------------------
The team saddles up and start moving.
Long story short and I'm too lazy to narrate everything, the trip went along rather smoothly.
They make a few stops here and there to take a breather and all.
The trip lasted three days when they reach the entrance.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Richard]
Ok guys, here it is.
The doorway.

[Ryan]
It's pretty big.......

[Richard]
Ok guys let's go
We'll arrive on Silver Knights base in three hours.

[Cross]
Keep the com channel clear if possible.
Put your weapons on the standby position.
Do not engage any hostile, use evasive maneuvers if you're in a pinch.

[Ronan]
Ok roger that.

[Elesis]
Understood.

[Lire]
Ok!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The team sped off and enters the tunnel.
What awaits them at the end of the tunnel?
Is it a soothing light?
Or
Just a freaking freight train heading your way?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Silverland:[Silver Knights home base]

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Jin]
*pant**pant*
Why..............why...............

[Mob]
GIIIIIIII...........

[Jin]
I'm sorry........comrades.......
RAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Something has happened in the Silver Knights base, and Jin is in danger.
Will the rest of the team will reach in time?
Find out in the next episode!

Three hours passed but somehow the team is still in the tunnel.

[Elesis]
*Bzzztt*
Rear guard to front line.
Come in front line.

[Cross]
*Bzzzzt*
This is front line.
What is it Elesis?

[Elesis]
Why are we still in the tunnel?
I thought we already passed the exit point.

[Richard]
This is team leader to Rear Guard, the situation is still unconfirmed and the info for now is still bit hazy.
I'll handle this so just sit tight and stay frosty.
Richard out.

[Elesis]
Roger that.
Over and out.
*sigh*
Arme, can you detect the tunnel's wall for magic signature?

[Arme]
Already did but it's all clean.

[Elesis]
Lire?
Mari?

[Lire]
Same as Arme.

[Mari]
Clean as a whistle.

[Seyren]
Ermm guys....

[Elesis]
What is it Seyren?

[Seyren]
WE GOT COMPANY!!!

Two gargoyles was catching up to them on high speeds.
Wow that's fast lol.

[Elesis]
Shit!
EVASIVE MANEUVER DELTA!
KATHRYNE!
WARN THE FRONT LINES NOW!!

[Kathryne]
YOU GOT IT!

---------------------------------------------------------------

[Richard]
WHAT!!???
Tch!
Ok proceed to the exit immediately!
We're almost there!

[Kathryne]
Roger that!
Rear guard out!

[Ronan]
What is it?

[Richard]
Gargoyles.
Wind ones.

Richard stopped suddenly.

[Cross]
Dude what the hell are you doing!!??
We're almost there!!!

[Richard]
Go ahead!
I'll catch up.
Cross, you're in charge with the operation.
Bring back Jin safely.
No matter what.

[Cross]
...............

Cross looks away in disappointment.

[Fixer]
Make sure you come back alive.

[Ronan]
And make sure you come back with the girls!

[Cross]
C'mon, let's roll.

The guys sped off.

[Richard]
Sorry to disappoint you Cross.
But I don't intend too.
Artemis.

[Artemis]
Yes master?

[Richard]
How many times do I have to tell to NOT call me that?
Anyway, initiate protocol 15 and 25, and open the 'Gate'.

Long silence follows and sound of roaring engines are getting louder.

[Richard]
Artemis!

[Artemis]
Understood Richard.
Protocol 15 and 25 has been initiate, Gate is opened.
I will keep monitor just in case.

[Richard]
Thank you.

[???]
SO, finally released me eh?

[Richard]
It's time.
I'm no longer fit for this world, and my soul needs a rest.
I'll come back after the 'resting'.

[???]
EHH?
Leaving me already?
You're no fun Richy boy!

[Richard]
Don't worry, Artemis will keep you company.
So feel free to ask anything you need.

[???]
Tch, that bad huh?
Is my weapon at stock or you forgot to bring it, AGAIN.

[Richard]
I brought along.
Oh and please don't kill the ones on the bikes.
Instead, kill the ones with the wings.

[???]
Can't I just kill everyone?
Anyway one question before you leave.
Where are we?

[Richard]
We're in-

---------------------------------------------------------------------

[Elesis]
Hey is that who I think it is?

[Kathryne]
What the?
RICH WHAT ARE YOU DOING???!!!!
RUN!!!

[Arme]
Dammit he can't hear us with all this gargoyles around!!

[Lire]
Huh?

Lire saw an evil smirk on Richard's face.
Oh crap not him!

[Lire]
DUCK!!!!

Everyone ducks for cover, and black light went over them.

[???]
DEVIL'S BUSTER!

A series of explosion ignites and obliterate the gargoyles in an instant.

[Elesis]
Woah!

[Arme]
What was that???

[Lire]
Screw it!
The explosion is causing the tunnel to cave in!!
We gotta move NOW!

[???]
Well better start moving then!
TRY TO CATCH UP IF YOU CAN LADIES!

[Elesis]
Wait Rich!!!

The figure sped off.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

[Cross]
Let's wait here.

[Fixer]
And they're back guys.

Richard arrives with his bike and the girls behind him.

[Ronan]
RICH!!

Ronan runs towards Richard to hug him, but suddenly-

[???]
Don't come any closer you hugger.

He points a black sword at him.

[Cross]
!?

[Fixer]
What the?

[Elesis]
Rich what are you doing??!!

As Elesis was about to grab him-

[???]
And you too, red head.

He pointed a pristine white sword at Elesis.

[Ryan]
What the hell is wrong with you Rich!

[Cross]
He's not rich.

[Elesis]
What??

[???]
Damn straight.
What the hell is going on here?
Why am I in this world, and who the hell are you guys?

[Ronan]
Rich what's wrong with you!!??

[???]
I'm not rich you numskull.
EXPLAIN THE DAMN SITUATION!

[Cross]
The name is Cross, the one you pointing is Ronan and Elesis.
We are the Grand Chase team and we're on a mission to find our comrade name Jin.

[???]
So he was telling the truth then.

[Arme]
He?

[???]
The one you guys always call, Richard.

[Elesis]
Wh-wha??

[Ronan]
Wh-what are you talking about....?

[???]
I'm saying i took over Richy here for awhile.

[Cross]
I see, a split personality, no wonder your presence are different than Richard's.
Then I ask of you, what's your name?

[Eternal]
The name is Eternal, former Guardian Slayer.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
A new figure arise from the depths, and more mystery is rising upon the surface.
What has happened to Richard, and why he let Eternal took him over willingly?
Find out in the next episode:
Camp Fire.

The team is resting for the night, their journey is near at the end, but still far to reach it.

The sound of bonfire, and a group of people surrounds it, trying to get warm.
A typical camp fire.

[Elesis]
So, you're saying Rich sealed you so he can use his powers freely?

[Eternal]
Yeah but not all of it, most of his powers already bonded with me since birth.
But I can't use it to it's full potential since it's not suited for me to begin with.

[Cross]
Then why he open the seal and let you take over easily?

[Eternal]
Because of you guys, I don't know why he so fonded but he'll do anything he can to protect all of you.
Which is the one thing I hate, but admire about him.

[Ryan]
I didn't know he has a bad side............I mean you of course.

[Eternal]
Heh, so how you guys know each other?

[Elesis]
Well let's just say we bump into one another during the training ceremony.
Me, Lire and Arme was the main star on that day, Ronan was the Kanavan's representative, Ryan was one of the trainee's.
We met Dio and Sieg at the Gorge, after that, Amy and Jin at the Barrows, Mari was one of recon team, Seyren is my brother and Kathryne was the late Kaze'Aze's daughter.

[Eternal]
Hmm, long but straight to the point.
What about Cross and Fixer here?

[Cross]
I met them at the inn and Fixer came after Lass was dead.

Everyone face's change and look on the ground.
Cross grips his sword tightly.

[Eternal]
I guess the name was a taboo word for you guys.
How did he died?

[Fixer]
Cross killed him.

[Eternal]
Why?

[Fixer]
To save him, he was controlled by Kaze and there were no other solutions.

Fixer looks away, as if lost interest on the topic.

[Eternal]
Tch, what a sore loser, got controlled so easily.

Elesis took out her sword and points at him with murderous intent.

[Elesis]
TAKE THAT BACK!

[Ryan]
Elesis!

[Ronan]
Put down your sword!

[Arme]
He saved our lives!

[Elesis]
I DON'T CARE!
I WON'T FORGIVE ANYONE WHO INSULTS HIM!

[Eternal]
Even though it was one of your own?

Elesis gasp, and everyone looks on the ground again with dead eyes.

Tears suddenly start flowing.

[Elesis]
I would kill anyone who insults him, even if it was me....

[Eternal]
..............
So Richy was telling the truth then.
Ok then it settled, before we go save Jin, ALL of you will be undergoing a special training by me.

[Dio]
What kind?

[Eternal]
You'll find out tomorrow.
Oh by the way-

Eternal sheathed his sword and Elesis's sword was destroyed in an instant.
Elesis gasp, everyone was shocked.

[Eternal]
You won't be needing that anymore.

[Ryan]
What the-

[Ronan]
When did he!?

[Elesis]
My....................sword..........

[Sieg]
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!!!????
THAT WAS A MOMENTO FROM HER GRANDFATHER!!!

[Eternal]
I know, that's because i destroy it.
It wasn't for her to begin with.
From now on, she has to find a weapon that suit her and her only.
A weapon beyond other, a weapon that was fated for you, a weapon that you create, a weapon that you choose.

Eternal leaves the group and disappeared in the darkness.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The day ends with sadness and sorrow.
A momento given to Elesis by her Grandfather was destroyed instantly in front of her eyes.
Now she is in despair, nothing to gain, nothing to lose, with no hope, she slept silently, like a wounded child that lost her soul.
Will she recover from this trauma, or will she collapsed because of it?
Find out in the next episode:
Training.

[Eternal]
Ughhh........
Damn that was a tiring day.....

[Richard]
Why did you did that Eternal?

[Eternal]
........

Few hours passed and Eternal is leaning against a tree near the cliff edge, it's full moon and the ocean can be seen clearly.

[Eternal]
I had too Rich, after Fixer said the taboo word, everyone changed.
But Elesis was different, she was the first one to react.

[Richard]
But why you switched the sword?

Eternal took out a sword, a familiar sword, the sword was destroyed in front of Elesis was intact, and undamaged.

[Eternal]
Because it's screaming like hell and I can't take it.
She has the potential to know what's the purpose he gave it to her.
But she needs more training, and time is running out.

[Richard]
I know, but even i have to think clearly before doing that.

[Eternal]
But I don't, so it's was either now or never.

[Richard]
Heh, I guess leaving the job to you was a perfect decision huh?

Light footsteps can be heard.

[Eternal]
Come out Fixer, or should I say, Lass.

A figure came out of the shadows, and reveals the late Lass, still alive and breathing.

[Lass]
So you figured it out?

[Eternal]
Yeah, once you done talking about yourself, you turned away as if lost interest in the topic, but actually, you're just afraid that everyone might find out.

[Lass]
You're pretty sharp.
But are you sharp enough?

Lass charges in and heading for his neck.

[Eternal]
Fast, but-

Eternal was already behind him, holding his daggers, and fifteen sword was already at his neck.

[Eternal]
Still slow.

[Lass]
How the hell did-

[Eternal]
I do that?
Sorry but I have to kill you after i give you the info because it's pretty much easy to do.

[Lass]
Tch, looks like you're the real deal.
You were neither a User nor Guardian Slayer.
You're a Zero Creator.

[Eternal]
So Cross already told you about it.

[Cross]
Yeah, I told him about you.
It was dangerous but it's worth it.

Cross appeared suddenly, standing on a rune, away from the cliff edge.

[Cross]
Even though it's too fast even for me, why you switched the sword?

[Eternal]
I can't tell you that, but you can ask him for the details.

[Cross]
Him?

Eternal stabs the red sword on the ground.

[Eternal]
Release, Crimson bearer.

The sword suddenly changed color, from fiery red, to shining silver, and a holographic person came out of it.

[Eternal]
Reveal your self, leader of the Crimson Pillars.
Ronald Sieghart.

[Lass]
Ronald......

[Cross]
Sieghart?

[Ronald]
It's been awhile...........Grandfather.

Sieghart suddenly jump down from the tree.

[Sieg]
Yeap, it's been awhile, Ronald, or should I say, Elesis's father.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Interlude end.

[Ryan]
*yawn*
Dammit it's still early and the sun still ain't up..........

[Sieg]
Well that's Eternal for ya, too damn strict........
Man I started to miss Richy ever since he quit Elite........

[Dio]
Elite?

[Ronan]
What's that?
More group of knights?

[Sieg]
I have no idea.....
Oh look Episode 499 is out.
Interesting..........

[Ronan/Ryan/Dio]
...........
Did this guy just loose some screws?

[Arme]
*pant*
Guys Elesis is missing!

[Eternal]
Tch, ok guys screw the training session, we're moving out A.S.A.P!
Pack your gears!
Ronan, you take point!

[Ronan]
Wait what??
What the hell is that suppose to mean!?

[Eternal]
You lead!
Dammit Seyren I hate it when you're right!

---------------------------------------------------
Last Night
---------------------------------------------------

[Seyren]
Anyway it's gonna be troublesome, since Elesis is hardheaded like always, she will probably take some branch and do the rescue mission all by her self.

[Eternal]
Then you go on ahead and give this sword to her.
Just in case.

Eternal gave the sword to Seyren.

[Seyren]
Heh, you really do have a red hair fetish huh?

[Eternal]
That's none of your freaking concern.

----------------------------------------------------

[Eternal]
I hope i'll make it in time!

Meanwhile
-----------------------------------------------------

[Elesis]
*pant**pant*
Just a little further........
Hang on Jin, I'm going to save you and show them who i really am!

[???]
Yeah just a hardheaded red hair airhead.

[Elesis]
Whose there????

A sword was thrown and skewered the ground next to Elesis.

[Elesis]
That......sword........

[???]
Make sure not to lose it next time.
Elesis Sieghart.

[Elesis]
WHO ARE YOU!?

[???]
Just a person concerning of his or her blood relative.
By the way, one piece of advice, do not lose control when it awakes.

[Elesis]
WAIT!!

The voice disappeared.

[Elesis]
Tch, whoever you are.......
Thanks...
---------------------------------------------

Few hours passed and Elesis reached the Silver Knights main entrance, and what she saw was carnage and despair.

[Elesis]
Wha..........
What a mess........
Who could've done this?

[???]
SCREEEEEE

Elesis dodge the sudden attack from behind and face the enemy head on.

[Elesis]
Jin???

[Mob]
SCREEEEE............NE.......EED..........MO...... REEE.............BBBBL.......OOOOODDDDD........... ...

[Elesis]
Jin.......is.......that........you??

[???]
ELESIS MOVE!!!

[Elesis]
Wha?

Elesis heard the voice and dodge to the right by instinct alone.

[???]
FIST OF TEN THOUSAND HELLS!!!!

A ball of chi was flying afterwards and hit the skeleton and blow it into pieces.

[???]
*pant**pant*
You're late......
Urggghhh......

[Elesis]
JIN!!

Elesis ran towards him as he was about to fall.

[Elesis]
Dude stay with me, what happen here?

[Jin]
The Ice fairy......*pant**pant*
They got us.......I don't how but they managed to break into the barrier and the massacre begin after that.....

[???]
My my, what a wonderful prey you got here Jin.

[Elesis]
And I think this is the bitch you were talking about?

[???]
And a foul tongue at that too.
Sorry but I don't mix with your kind.
Buuuttt.......If you were to 'Apologize', I might spare your life and make you my slave~

[Elesis]
Heh, sorry to break it you hon, but, I eat your kind for lunch.

[Jin]
Ermmm........but it's breakfast now.........and I AM hungry you know.....

[Elesis]
...............

[Ice Fairy]
..............

Silence follows trying to catch up to Jin's sudden idiocy.
Hell even I was missed by a mile here........

[Elesis]
DON'T BREAK THE FREAKING MOOD DAMMIT!!!!

[Jin]
Ooooffff

Jin got kicked from behind and repeatedly being pummeled by Elesis

[Ice Fairy]
That's why I hate your kind.
Now why don't you die?

The fairy threw an ice arrow towards the duo and Elesis slash it into two like it was nothing.

[Ice Fairy]
Hmm?

[Elesis]
You know............I was DYING to kick someone's ass but, you will do the job.
Trigger.

*Bang*

A gunshot and tower of fire suddenly rise from the ground and Elesis was the center of it.

[Jin]
Woah.........this is the first time I saw you use it Elesis.......

[Elesis]
Truth to be told, it's my first time too.
Spread, Fire of Phoenix!

A large roar that can be heard from miles away.
---------------------------------------------------

[Eternal]
!!??

[Richard]
Dammit we're too late!

[Eternal]
There's no such thing as too late.

[Arme]
The hell was that?
This pressure is totally off the charts!

[Lire]
But the signature is.......
It's Elesis!

[Eternal]
We're gotta hurry.
Let's move out!
Full throttle!!

------------------------------------------------------
Elesis came on time to save Jin, and activate her newly founded power.
But somehow Eternal is getting edgy about it.
Will he make it in time?
-----------------------------------------------------

[Elesis]
WILDFIRE!!!

[Ice Fairy]
Blind Blizzard!!!!

Both attacks clashed and series of explosions follows.

[Jin]
Damn, what the hell did you went through Elesis??

[Amy]
JIN!!!!

[Jin]
Amy?

[Ronan]
Damn, good thing we make it on tim-

[???]
Bloodline Border.

Red Glaciers suddenly separates both Elesis and the Fairy, heavy white fogs covers the battle.

[Arme]
What the hell?

[Sieg]
Ok that's just too sudden......

[Elesis]
Dammit Arme what the hell did you do???
I was winning!!!

[Fairy]
Hohohoho
You? Win?
It was the opposite my dear soon to be slave.

[Elesis]
Who the hell is gonna be your slave bitch!!!

[Lire]
What the.......did Elesis just said the 'B' word......

[Mari]
Arme just fainted...

[Ronan]
ARGHH!
ARME!!!

[Fairy]
Tch, that's one thing I hate about you, but no matter, i'll fix that once you're min-

[???]
ENOUGH

[Fairy]
Hmm?

[Elesis]
What the?

The fogs cleared, revealed a man, wearing white, from top to toe.
White hair, white eyes, white scarf, white clothing, just like an angel.

[Fairy]
Who are you?

[???]
None of your concern.

[Ryan]
What the?
Since when he came along.

[Dio]
Who the hell is he?

[Sieg]
I have no idea.

[Ronan]
Wait no one knows him?

[Mari]
I didn't know he was with us from the beginning.

[Elesis]
Richard?........
Is that you?

Everyone was shocked from that one word, hell even I was shocked, there was no punchline dammit!!

[Richard]
How sharp of you, as always.
Anyway, you just discover a power that you should not realized yet but mehh, that's fate.
Let me show you the true power of that technique.
Watch and learn yo.

[Ryan]
Technique?
The hell is he talking about?

[Sieg]
Soul release.
A technique that release the seal on the soul of the weapon and the wielder, multiplying their power 10 fold.

[Ronan]
I still don't get it.

[Dio]
Just like he said, watch and learn.

The figure put his hand backwards, a magic circle appears below him.

[Richard]
Ignition, Full Throttle.

A weapon was summoned, a jet black jade hook similar to Ryan's but much bigger.

[Richard]
Bring Despair, Carnage and Unstoppable Plague on these fools.
Eternal.

[???]
HAHAHAHAHAHAAHA
LET ME KILL THEM BROTHER!!!!!!!

A painful shriek follows, everyone was covering their ears.

[Ronan]
ARgghhh
My ears!!!

[Elesis]
Dammit who the hell is making that noise!!!!

[Ryan]
It's the Jade hook!!!
It's ALIVE!!!

[Richard]
Let's go.

[Fairy]
Heh, you think that thing can stop me?
DIE YOU INSOLENT FO-

The distance between the Fairy and the Figure was about 150 meters away.

[Richard]
Hate to say but, you're going to die here and now.

[Fairy]
What-

The figure managed to close that gap instantly and slashed right through.
As he lands-

[Richard]
I'm not done yet.
Eternal Torment.

The Fairy was enclosed in a black box, silence follow suit.

[Fairy]
Heh, is that all you go-

[Richard]
You will pay for your sins against the balance of this world.
Begin Judgment.

The Fairy suddenly screams in pain, over and over.

[Ronan]
Wha.....what the hell....

[Richard]
In there you will receive a pain unlike any other, a pain of dying over and over again.
The only way to stop this, is wishing for yourself to die, which is impossible.
Abyss Judgement number 58, Chamber of Eternal Sins.
May god of the Abyss have mercy on your soul.

The figure walks away from the box while the fairy still screams in pain.

[Elesis]
Wha.........Amazing....

[Richard]
Sorry for finishing your fight Elesis but it's the only way to show you how dangerous the technique is.
Anyway let's get a safe place to set up camp for us to rest.

[Elesis]
R-right...
Wait, are you..........really Richard?

[Richard]
Yeah, I'll tell the details later.

The team carry the injured Jin.

--------------------------------------------

[???]
So, that's the famed Zero Creator AND the Author huh?
He will be a good addition to our forces if we can somehow, 'acquire' his power.

[???]
Yeah but it will take time.
Anyhow, the master has summon us, we must return immediately.

[???]
Just you watch Grand Chase, your ally, is our ally as well.

---------------------------------------------
Richard has returned and saved the day, and showed the true power of the Soul Release.
Can The Grand Chase team master it?
Who was the two figures that has set their eyes on Richard?
Friend, or foe?
-----------------------------------------------

Few hours passed since the battle.
Jin is getting treatment from both Arme and Amy, if you get my drift......

[Jin]
Ow ow ow
That hurts Amy!

[Amy]
Well it was your fault for not calling me.

[Arme]
Ok that's enough you two.
Let Jin get some sleep first.

[Amy]
Not until why he's cheating on me.

[Arme]
Wait what?
Oooohhh you playboy!

[Jin]
Wait where the hell did you hear that???

[Amy]
ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTION!!

-----------------------------------------------------
[Ryan]
Heheh, plan A is a success commander.

[Sieg]
Good, now let him feel the pain!
MWUAHAHAHAHA

[Ryan]
MWUAHAHAHAHAHA

[Ronan]
I don't get you pranksters.........

[Dio]
Well let them be, what goes around comes around.

[Ronan]
*sigh*
Poor Jin.

--------------------------------------------------------

[Elesis]
So why the hell you called me here?

[Richard]
Oh, I was about to tell you the details regarding the Soul Release.

[Elesis]
Soul Release?

[Richard]
A technique that you used a few hours ago.

[Elesis]
You mean the Phoenix?

[Richard]
Yeah, that.
I don't know how but you managed to master the release by instinct alone, which is pretty rare for a swordsman.
But.

[Elesis]
But?
But what?
Don't leave me hanging man.....

[Richard]
You will die if you use it again.

[Elesis]
Wha?

[Richard]
Now let me go into the details.
There's two main stage for Soul Release.
Which is the Seal breaker, and the Balancing.
You already mastered the Seal breaker but you suck at Balancing.

[Elesis]
Ok you just lost me there.....

[Richard]
*sigh*
Let me demonstrate.
Ignition, Full Throttle.

The Jet black Jade hook suddenly appeared behind him.

[Elesis]
What the?
Did you just summoned that?

[???]
Wrong.

[Elesis]
Wait it talked???

[???]
The hell-
Oi Richy, is this the same red hair airhead that I know back then or did she just smashed her brain into a million pieces?

[Elesis]
Who the hell you call me an airhead you piece of sh-
......
Wait......it that who I think it is?

[Richard]
Yeah, it's Eternal.

[Eternal]
Yo red, long time no see.
Although it's only a few hours but yeah.

[Richard]
Eternal is going to tell you the details regarding the first stage.
When you completely understand, talk to me.

[Eternal]
Ok I don't want to take much time so i'll make this short as i can.
The first stage, also known as Seal breaker is a stage where you release the seal that protects two souls from clashing together.

[Elesis]
Soul?
What soul?

[Eternal]
The Weapon and the User.
You, the User just perform the first stage, which is the Seal Breaker and right now, your own soul are clashing with your Weapon, which is your sword.

[Elesis]
And that's a good thing........right?

[Eternal]
Wrong, right now, your soul is dominating, which is bad.
This conflict is what we called, Internal Dispute.
To prevent that from happening, you must master the Balancing.

[Elesis]
What if I don't?

[Richard]
Your sword will be destroyed, and your soul will be in utter chaos, dragging you into madness and insanity.
The Balancing is a stage where you, the User will be 'negotiating' with the Weapon.
Now let's begin.

[Elesis]
Wait begin what?

[Eternal]
The Balancing, we don't have much time left.
Abyss Judgement number 32, Chamber of Tranquility.

Their surrounding suddenly changed, from a pitch black woods, to a world of nothingness.
Everything is White as far as the eye can see.

[Elesis]
Rich?
Where the hell am I???

Elesis shouted and scream, trying to find Richard, after a few futile attempts, a voice echoes.

[???]
In here there is no one but you.
In here only you can save your own soul.
And in here-

A black figure suddenly rise from the ground, mimicking our very own Elesis.

[???]
Only you exist.
Survive your Internal Dispute on your own.
Because you are your only Salvation, and Destruction.

[???]
Yooo....
My name is Mordred, I'll be taking your soul if you don't mind.

[Elesis]
Heh, another fight?
Good, I've been itching to fight me.

[Mordred]
Bring it!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Richard]
Judgement Chamber number 10, Chamber of Mirrors.

[Eternal]
Are you sure she's gonna be ok?

[Richard]
She'll be fine.
She IS the daughter of a famed swordsman after all.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The training begins, will Elesis survived?
Find out in the next Episode, Arise, The Third Master!!!

[Elesis]
*pant**pant*
Damn, I didn't know she was this strong....

[Mordred]
Seriously?
Is this all you can do?
I can't even start to think that you managed to pass the first stage.
This is just too pathetic.

[Elesis]
Heh, I wasn't even go all out you copy cat.

[Mordred]
Really now?
Than why you're sweating like a fountain?

[Elesis]
I got my reasons, anyway let me reveal my trump card.

Elesis closes her eyes, a sudden change of atmosphere, from a heated battle to a calm scenery.

[Elesis]
I see, so this place is actually inside my head.

[Mordred]
Bingo, this is Judgement Chamber number 10, Chamber of Mirrors.
Where I, Mordred, is born for only one purpose.

[Elesis]
And that purpose is?

[Mordred]
To exist.

Elesis opens her eyes.

[Elesis]
Then I can't allow that.
Spread, Fire of Phoenix, Full burst.

Tower of fire rise as Elesis at the center.
Controlling the tower itself.
At that moment, two phoenix emerged, one is black as the darkness, known as-

[???]
The name is Dreadnought, the Phoenix that harbors death.

And one is blue as the sky, known as-

[???]
My name is Blaze, one that protects life.

[Dreadnought/Blaze]
We acknowledge you as our Third master, we are at your command.
Master Elesis Sieghart.

[Mordred]
Tch, this is just too fast!
Is it me or......
She already know to summon this guys by instinct!!???
At this rate, it wouldn't be a surprise to summon the other 7 so easily!![

[Elesis]
Dreadnought, I will be changing your name to Dread, it's too long.
Blaze, I'll be changing your name to Sky if it's ok with you.

[Mordred]
The hell?
You want to change their name so easily?
HAH no wonder everyone-

[Dread]
Understood Master, you may call me Dread from now on.

[Sky]
As you wish.

[Mordred]
Wha........wha........

[Elesis]
Hmmm, obedient.
I like it.
Now let's take control of my own soul and save the other seven phoenix flame shall we?

[Mordred]
No way.....
YOU BASTARD!
YOU ALREADY KNEW ABOUT THE 9 COMMANDMENTS OF LIFE!!!???

[Elesis]
Of course, my grandfather told me stories about it, and father taught me how to summon them.
Although on my current state, I can only summon these two.
Oh by the way, it's 12 now.

[Mordred]
YOU!!!!!

[Elesis]
Too slow, and too weak.
I'll be taking over from now on, 'Mordred'.

The distance between them was 500 meters, she close that gap in a mere instant.

[Mordred]
I can't make it....
I'll die.....
I don't want to go back.......

[Elesis]
Dread, Sky.
Bring her back to farthest depth of hell.

The two phoenix engulf the shocked Mordred while she screams.
Few minutes passed, and silence follow suit.

[Richard]
So you finally pass the second stage then.
It looks like the method was a success on the first try.

[Elesis]
Heh, who the hell you think I a-

*thump**thump*

[Elesis]
UGhhhhh!

The surrounding changed, from pure white to pitch black woods.
They once again back onto the real world.

[Eternal]
Mehhh, no pain no glory.
But at least it's worth it.

As both of them watch Elesis kneel and vomits blood, the rest of the team arrives.

[Arme]
Oh my god, Elesis!!

[Ryan]
ELESIS!!

[Sieg]
RED!

[Ronan]
Dammit Rich what the hell did you do!!!????

[Richard]
She seeks power and a way to control it, of course there will be risk.

As Ryan was about to grab Richard, he was stopped by Elesis.

[Elesis]
It's ok Ryan, thanks to him, I managed to gain control of myself...
Oh by the way, check this out!

Everyone was dumbfounded by the sudden change on Elesis.

[Elesis]
I summon you as the Third Master of the 12 Commandments of Life.

[Sieg]
!!!???

[Elesis]
Dread, Sky!

The two phoenix appears before them as small birds.

[Ronan]
What the?

[Lire]
That's it?
Seriously?

[Elesis]
Ah crap.
I forgot i went all out when fighting Mordred.....

[Ryan]
Ermmm Elesis........
Are you ok?

Ryan put his hand on her forehead.

[Elesis]
Sheesh I'm fine!
*sigh*

[Richard]
Well can't be help, you need to rest for while to reach your full power again.

[Elesis]
But!

[Dread]
Indeed you need the rest Master.

[Sky]
Besides there are 9 more Flames that you must discover.
Ahhh~ such short yet long journey you must take~

[Ryan]
What the-
It talked????

[Arme]
Awww such cute talking birdies~

The Grand Chase teams surrounded the poor Elesis and bombarded her with questions and etc.

[Eternal]
Heh, I wonder if this reminds you of something brother.

[Richard]
................
I don't want too.

Richard turns and walks away, Elesis notice this and find it awkward.

[Richard]
I'm not a part of the family anymore Eternal.
So please don't make me remember, it's just sad and infuriating.

[Eternal]
I guess so.
But at least you got me.

[Richard]
Yeah, I guess so.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Elesis gains new power, Dread and Sky was introduced to the rest of the team, and the once broken team is now whole and filled with Joy and Happiness.
But somehow, the cloud of sadness still harbors Richard for some reason.
What is the reason?
Find out in the next episode
Flashback.

[???]
*pant pant*
Dammit.....why!?

[???]
Hahaha!
I didn't know the head of the house was THIS weak!!
Can't even protect himself!!!

[???]
*Pant pant*
Dammit, I hope everyone is saf-

[???]

[???]

Jacklyn!!

The girl ran towards her wounded master and hugs him.

[???]
Dammit now is NOT the time!!
Get out of here!
Safe yourself!!!

[???]
My my, what a lovely moment, now which prey should I kill first?
Maybe the girl will do nicely.

[???]
NO!!
Don't you DARE touch her!!
If you want to take a life, TAKE MINE!!!

The girl suddenly stood up, and face the figure.

[Jacklyn]
If I willing to give mine, will you spare master's?

The master was dumbfounded.

[???]
J-Jacklyn!
What the hell are you thinking!!!

[???]
Look girl, I was payed to kill everyo-

[Jacklyn]
Answer me!!

Sudden silence, only the sound of falling debris is heard.

[???]
Maybe.

[Jacklyn]
Not good enough, swear to me that you will not harm master!

[???]
Jacklyn-
Hey!!

[???]
Meheh.....
Meheheheheh
MEHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA!!
Man this girl is hilarious!!!!
FINE, I SWEAR TO YOU THAT I WILL NOT TAKE HIS LIFE!!!!

The girl walks towards him.

[???]
He-HEY!!!!!
JACKLYN DON'T DO THIS!!!!!!!
JACKLYN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The girl was half way when she suddenly ran back and hug him.

[???]
Jacklyn don't do this!!!!

The girl put her mouth close to his ears and whispers-

[Jacklyn]
I always love you Richard, always.

[Richard]
Wh-what?

Jacklyn seals the confession with a kiss on the lip.
His mind was blank from the sudden event.
Jacklyn stood up and walks towards the figure.

[Richard]
H-hey........

Time suddenly slowed down.
He can hear every footstep she took, every heartbeat, every breath even when their distance is far.

[Richard]
D-don't...............don't do this.......

She stops and turns.

[Jacklyn]
Always.

[Richard]
Don't do this, please............

A gunshot was heard, a bullet went through her head and hit Richard's shoulder, even so, he didn't budge and witness the scene in front of him.

[Richard]
!
JACKLYN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
================================================== ============================

After the party, everyone went to sleep, but not everyone.

[Elesis]
What's with that guy?
Even though HE trained me, he didn't even congratulate me for it!

It seems Elesis is restless about something, and the very reason why she isn't asleep yet.

[Elesis]
ARgghhhh dammit!
I might as well take a walk or something!

She exits the room while in her pajamas, she wanders here and there and when she realize it, she is already at the cliff edge and Richard is beside her.

[Richard]
Can't sleep?

[Elesis]
Huh?
Oh ermmm err y-yeah.....

She flustered and suddenly blush.

[Elesis]
The hell?
Why I'm like this whenever i'm near him??

[Richard]
Aren't you cold?

[Elesis]
Huh?

[Richard]
You do know you're still in your pajamas.

Elesis remembered when she walks out of the room earlier with her pajamas still on.

[Elesis]
T-this is nothing for a tough warrior like me!

It was a nice bluff, but-

[Elesis]
Hachoo!

[Richard]
*sigh*
Even so, you're still a fragile girl.

He took ofo his coat and muffler and covers her, and at that moment, she saw the horrible scars on his neck, left elbow and shoulder.
For an experience knight like her, she knows all that spots were meant to decapitate and kill.

[Elesis]
Thanks.


[Richard]
You know, you remind me of 'her'.

[Elesis]
Who?

[Richard]
Someone close to me.

He took out a pendant and stares at it.

[Elesis]
What a beautiful pendant!
Where did you get that?

Silence, not a word came out of him.

[Elesis]
S-sorry.

[Richard]
Elesis.

Elesis startled and stutters.

[Elesis]
W-w-w-what?
Dammit that almost gave me a heart attack!

[Richard]
Hope you don't hate me for this.

[Elesis]
Huh-

His hand reach her head and his lip met with hers.

[Elesis]
Wha wha wha wha wha??????

Elesis was about to struggle but for some reason, she just close her eyes, and hugs him.
================================================== ====================
What happened in Richard's past?
The hell just happened now?????
