Fate and Crimson Ch5

Arc 1 Chapter 5

Rox: hi I am Rox

The situation was bad beyond compare for Lucia who couldn't activate her aura or use magic because of the artifact Amu's stone which forced the selected target to enter stealth mode, meaning that her mana was concealed until who knows when.

Lucia: damn it where did Albert g... Oh right he went away to take care of something, damn it just when you need him. (talking to herself)

Rox: well this mission was way easier than I thought and knocking out all those servants while I forced them into stealth mode was cake.

Now the was truly no hope for Lucia and she was even imagining what was gonna happen to her when this guy kidnaps her, like was she gonna be sold to the mines? Because a sex slave for a corrupt or was he gonna use her for experiments? As these thoughts ran to her mind a boy showed up with white/silver hair, green eye pupils and white skin which was a little too white but the boy Sion was standing there with a book in his hand.

Sion: don't get any closer to her.

Rox: ... Heh.

Lucia: Sion RUN! he's someone you can't beat!

Rox: too late

Rox immediately closed the distance between him and Sion and attempted to cut him with his hidden knife but Sion was already near Lucia in an instant.

Rox: how did you get there? Wait that book... It's a grimore and if I had to guess it boosts your speed? Well it was a useless attempt.

Sion: not really, check out your hand.

Rox: what!? My stone!

Before Rox could try and get to the Amu's stone in Sion's hands, it was already shattered and Lucia was released from the stealth mode and was now shining in confidence as she activated her aura and was ready to fight. The fight was now two on one and Sion and Lucia were sure they could win but...

Lucia: are you ready to die fuck face?!

Rox: (sigh) I was hoping that it would not come to this but it looks like I gotta take the hard way.

Sion: what are you talking about?

Rox: though I may be a stealth I'm not exactly weak either so I'm sorry to say this but the white headed kid is going to die and I'm taking Lucia half dead or blacked out.

Lucia: have you gone crazy out of fear?

Rox: nope quite the opposite [shadow wave]

Before their very eyes Rox's shadow grew bigger and covered the whole garden area and before they knew it, they in a shadow world where everything is dark and no light but Sion and Lucia could see each other very well except for Rox

Lucia: is this a unique technique?

Sion: yeah I think so and now after seeing this I can tell what he's unique technique can probably do.

Rox: (his voice coming from every direction) oh really? then what is it?

Sion: you can travel through shadows right?

Rox: and if I say that's incorrect?

Sion: then that would be an obvious lie cuz the evidence is in everything that you did so far and how you got here without being noticed by the super maids and servants who are monitoring this house 24/7.

Rox: you were able to come to a conclusion with that small information?

Sion: to me that's a lot of info and it suggested why you chose to come at night when shadows exists during the day and how you were able to get near Lucia without being spotted and the most give away was your absurd speed and this shadow wave technique cuz when you were fighting us you instantly teleported near our shadows to close the distance and the final piece is the fact that in here me and Lucia can see each other but we cannot see you. Did I get that right?

Rox: perfection! You score 100 kid for that brain of yours, what a waste cuz you are gonna die here.

Sion: not really cuz I have this GO! [Teleport] let's go Lucia

Sion activated a telerportation spell from a page of a telerportation grimore he found at Albert library, guess that he didn't take only speed grimore when he was preparing to face Rox after he sensed him. Sion and Lucia teleported out of the shadow wave but before Lucia could touch the ground... Rox grabbed her from behind.

Rox: well things got out of hand so... See you never girly boy!

Sion: wait don't tell me... Nooo!

And so, Rox teleported with Lucia to God knows where and his presence was no longer in Albert's territory and he got away with Lucia, and Sion was now left completely hopeless.

Sion: I let him get away with Lucia... And... How am I gonna explain to Albert that he's daughter got kidnapped.

As Sion was thinking about what to do as he walked to Alex's bedroom and when he entered, Alex was asleep because he was drugged by Sion earlier so that he couldn't go to battle with a real enemy and risk him going berserk and hurt himself.

Sion: (tears start pouring out) I'm so sorry! LUCIA!
