The ship takes off slowly…
The dozens of bodies, blood all over the walls the floor, the smell of air turned into foul metallic death
Sukiro had changed the dungeon into a landscape of destruction and horror
The bodies of the monsters had been damaged so badly burned to crisps, disfigured that the party couldn't even take the parts that would have been sold for a high price..
The humming of the ship echoed, Elijah looked over to the others just to see everyone staring at nothing they were trying to avoid it..
Sirius wiped the blood off his arm slowly and his face turned pale. He had gotten it when he moved sukiro…
Elijah spoke"Are we going to sit in silence and pretend everything's fine?"
Sapphire got up, her face lighting up with anger "don't you start Elijah!" she shouted "you couldn't even figure out the true nature of the gate and had him fight a B rank boss"
"Which he defeated, not to mention made it unrecognizable" he retorted
"That doesn't change the fact that you still made a huge blunder" sebastian replied calmly "we are lucky that sukiro killed him, the results could have been very different" he glazed at elijah clearly angry
"Guess this means sukiro is B rank huh" klaus lets a nervous laugh out
"Two months… that's all it took for him to go from E rank to B rank" sirius muttered underbreath
The party looked at sukiro..
No one in history had grown as fast as him…
It was now clear.. Sukiro was entirely something else…
He was made to battle..
"It's clear to us all now that sukiro is clearly one of a kind" Sebastian sighed resting against the wall
"No kidding…" Klaus laughed nervously
"If he ever turned to evil…." sirius shivered "i don't think the world would be able to contain him
"He won't turn evil sirius" sapphire smiled "i assure you"
She looked over at sukiro "he is a good kid afterall" she grinned
"That he is" sebastian smiled while sukiro turned over in his sleep
Little did the party know that the little boy would grow up to be the strongest..
The ship drifted into the distance, the hearts inside it now calm..
Four months later…..
STRIKE!!!!
CLASH!!!
The sky echoed the sound of blades clashing!
Each strike grew stronger and stronger, relentless their power hummed to the ground and shook the skies above
"That's enough!!!" sapphire yelled at the top of her lungs
"You guys can come down now, it's time to eat!!!"
Sebastian smiled… "guess that's enough for the day"
Sirius grinned "he is as strong as Sebastian now isn't he?!"
"Nearly" elijah replied "but still not as strong as me"
"Shut up elijah you aren't even as strong as sebastian" klaus grinned mockingly
"Thats what you think pipsqueak i haven't showed the full extent of my power yet" elijah said in a terrifyingly calm tone
"Who the hell did you call a pipsqueak, you pipsqueak!!!" sirius held klaus back while he relentlessly tried to beat up elijah
Sebastian sheathed his daggers..
"That was a good duel"
"Sukiro.."
"I know" sukiro smirked
"The only thing you lack now is experience, which with time will come to you" sebastian swept his forehead
"Let's get to the eating then!" Sirius grinned clearly starved
The party shares the meal quietly enjoying themselves..
"This is damn good sapphire!" Sebastian roared in appreciation
"You better stuff up sebastian it was made with a lot of love for you" elijah side eyed sebastian waiting for his reaction
COUGH!! "I think it's stuck…" sebastian retorted looking over at elijah ready to kill him
Sapphire quickly handed him the water staying by him
Elijah covered his mouth, his eyebrows raising "ohhhh….."
Sirius smirked "you are going to get yourself killed if keep doing this"
"Maybe, Klaus, what do you call that things?, Ah yes the study of those weird liquids"
Klaus dumbfounded replied "you mean chemistry?"
Elijah clapped loudly "exactly!!"
"Look at the chemistry here…." another side eye
Sapphire stumbles back flustered, that's when Sebastian finally notices her expression..
"Her face… it's red?" he stares blankily
Sapphire looks back at sebastian…
Its as if the world had stopped for them
"Guys i think its better if we close our eyes" elijah slowly covered his eyes
"SHUT UP ELIJAH!!!!" sebastian and sapphire yelled with sync
Sukiro's eyes fling from one place to the other
He was finally catching up to what was happening after all this time
A smirk appeared on his face..
"Guess i have been blind this entire time" he whispered to himself
The moon shined on them as if it enjoyed their banter as well, the night filled with chatter slowly turned into silence
"Alright lets get going" sebastian said fixing his gear
"Time to lay waste to some dungeons" he grinned
The party chattered in the ship, talks from the old ages leading to the beyond future
"That desert village was wild man" klaus laughed while driving the ship
"Tell me about it" elijah groaned
"Missing christian are we?" klaus smiled raising his eyebrows
"Her name was literally a guy's name," Elijah retorted
"Doesn't change the fact the she was still a girl though" sirius leaned in
Elijah slowly turned his head towards him "aren't yo-"
"OK!! OK!! I was just saying calm down" sirius backed down
"Seriously elijah we all saw both of together" sapphire shrugged
"To say the least everyone felt 'the chemistry' or 'the connection'" Sebastian yelled, his hand gesturing "between you two"
"Ohh really" elijah rolled his fist his face bleaming with angry
"You shouldn't be the one saying that sebastian it doesn't really suit you"
"Ohh yea? Why is that" sebastian got up questioning
"Considring that during the festival you couldn't even say one th-"
"Guys we are at the dungeon!" Klaus cut off them both very smartly to say the least
Sapphire stared blankly at them.. It seemed as if there was something
Hope
"Let's just focus on the mission guys" sukiro laughed nervously trying to reduce the tension
"Mission? We aren't going into that dungeon" elijah looked at sukiro
"What do you mean" sukiro looked at him confused
"You are going to that A-rank dungeon sukiro alone" elijah replied in a calm tone
"Me?" sukiro asked his eyes narrowing
"Yeah, you are at the level of an S-rank at this point you can solo an A-rank dungeon if you are the strong" sebastian replied
Sukiro sighed "fine…, let me handle this one then"
He slowly got off the ship and walked towards the portal
Before they knew it he was gone..
The party stood outside waiting for his return
"I feel sorry for those monsters already" sirius sobbed holding his napkin
"Yeah they don't know what's gonna hit them" sebastian said leaning against the ship his tone both confident and unsure
"A anomaly to say the least" klaus replied his glasses reflecting the dungeon
And before they knew it sukiro walked out bathered in blood..
"How was the dungeon?" Sebastian questioned
"To easy" sukiro replied his voice dry littered with hunger for more
"Yeah i kinda expected that already" sirius spoken
"Guess its about time we get that rank checked" sebastian sighed
"It probably is" sapphire spoke smiling her hand on sukiro's shoulder
"That's an eye of a beast by the way" sukiro looked at his shoulder
Sapphire's face turned pale…
