Chapter #6 The pork rush

Chapter #6 - The Pork rush

Our heroes are headed to the capital city of Aeven. As they cross the farmlands, they feel a soothing wind and relaxing fresh air. The trio seems to be in a good mood; walking, even feeling optimistic. All of a sudden the scent of fresh air is taken over by the smell of smoke. Hantsuki begins to search where the smell is coming from, and notices a barn being burnt. The trio quickly begins to run towards the burning barn afar.

Meanwhile at the barn, two Twindemons are burning it, as Waveblade the mage is seen approaching the owner of the farm and violently grabbing him by the neck.



"Alright pops, this is just a warning. We burned your barn as a warning, just think of what we could do to you if we really had to hurt you!" said Waveblade.

"Please... I have never seen the guy, leave me and my piggies alone, I beg you!” said the old man.

"Useless fool... Twindemons, leave no trace of this farm. After that, kill the man!" said Waveblade as he walked away and teleported.

The Twindemons were destroying all things in their path. Suddenly they were interrupted by Hantsuki with a strong flash, which blinded the two monsters.

"POTION OF SPARKLES!" screamed Hantsuki.

"What are two Twindemons doing here?!" asked Rettan.

"Who cares bro? We have to do something!" said Jellirox.

Rettan and Hantsuki quickly charged to attack the two Twindemons, having a fierce battle. However, the Twindemons were way stronger. Rettan tried to kick them in the face but was quickly sent flying by one of the Twindemon’s punches. Hantsuki seemed nervous and quickly ran to the Twindemons, screaming, with her twinblade.
As she ran, she was sent flying by the tail whip of the Twindemon. Quickly the two were defeated; Jellirox’s eyes were full of tears, as she felt that she had no weapon that could help anyone. Feeling useless and desperate, Jellirox started throwing rocks at the Twindemons as they slowly approached her…

Meanwhile, somewhere far away... In a snowy prairie, a girl carrying a log entered her small house, which was located in what looked like the ruins of an empire, deep in an icy mountain...

"Hunt... Has the girl awaken yet?" asked the girl with the log.

"No Squishy... It has been like two weeks, and all she mumbles is the name of the Seraphym Rettan..." said Hunt.

The ill girl opened her eyes and violently got off the bed.

"What happened?! Where am I?! Who are you people?! Where is Rettan?!" asked the ill girl.

"My name is Huntofdeath, her name is Squishychan, and we are brother and sister; you are currently at Ice Mountain, and Rettan is a Seraphym who lives in the heavens, so you won’t be seeing him," said Huntofdeath.

Huntofdeath was a very large man, wearing a thick leather-made outfit. Squishychan was wearing an outfit very similar to Huntofdeath, but she on the other hand was small and thin.



"You guys don’t understand..." the ill girl left the house running to a small cliff.

"Wait! Are you stupid?!" asked Squishychan as she ran trying to stop her.

The ill girl jumped off the small cliff, opening her arms as if she expected she could fly, but nothing happened and she harshly hit the ground. Squishychan and Huntofdeath ran down the cliff to check if the ill girl was hurt.

"We always find people lost in the mountain... but this girl... is polemic..." said Huntofdeath.

"Oh shut up bro! We gotta take the girl back inside!" said Squishychan as she began to drag her.

Meanwhile, back in the farm, our heroes were in a heavy rain. Calipso is seen flying around the unconscious Jellirox, Rettan, and Hantsuki. Rettan slowly wakes up and quickly checks on Jellirox and Hantsuki as they both wake up. Jellirox looked deeply at Calipso.

"Did you do this Calipso? You saved us?" asked Jellirox.

"Oh c’mon Jelli, Calipso is just a little baby," said Hantsuki.

Jellirox realized what Hantsuki said as they stood up to search for the owner of the farm. Quickly Rettan noticed something slightly moving under some wood and realized it’s the owner of the farm. Hantsuki ran to help him as Jellirox slowly healed him with her magic. The man was old, with wide contexture, and had a mustache. The man thanked the group as he asked their names. The group presented themselves and so did the man.

"My name is Pigton. I think you youngsters are the reason why my barn was burnt by that mage..." said the man.



"That must be Waveblade!" screamed Rettan.

"We are sorry Mr.Pigton... Is there any way we can repay you? It was our fault after all..." said Hantsuki.

"Why don’t we help Mr.Pigton rebuild his barn?" proposed Jellirox.

"I just wonder where my piggies ran... I had about fifty... they’re a rare animal, you know," said Mr.Pigton.

"Don’t worry! We will find them!!" screamed Rettan, once again excited.

The group quickly began to work, and to try to return the 50 piggies back into the barn. Hantsuki was chopping wood with her twinblade, and Jellirox was carrying some wood with Calipso, as Mr.Pigton was nailing the pieces together with a hammer. Rettan, on the other hand, was fetching piggies. Actually, the piggies where fetching him.



After a long day of work the sunset was radiating, and Hantsuki was cooking as the others were taking a rest. Mr.Pigton befriended the group, talking and laughing while waiting for dinner.

"You youngsters are a great group, together you will accomplish any task if you maintain yourselves as you are, I cant stop thanking you for bringing my piggies back," said Mr.Pigton.

"We are sorry for your farm getting burnt because of that crimson wizard!" said Rettan.

"No need to be sorry, just focus on finding your dear Laoni. Your descent, Rettan, has been a blessing for me. Not everyday your farm is visited and repaired by a grand seraphym, you know..." mentioned Mr.Pigton.

Suddenly Calipso began to fly in circles, as if something bad were going to happen. The wind began to blow hard, and the night sky became pitch black. A red cloud appeared, descending from it was Fleurygal.

"I finally see you in person, mister seraphym!" said Fleurygal.

The group was terrified as Fleurygal kicked Mr.Pigton to the floor, giggling.

"Since Waveblade was useless I had to punish him. Yes, my pet Waveblade can be useless sometimes,” remarked Fleurygal.

"Who are you?!" asked Jellirox.

"You three fools don’t know me yet? My name is Fleurygal, and I am a direct assistant of Lord Apozen. He is very mad right now, his body is all burnt because of that old bastard’s interception to assassinate Rettan while we had the chance,” answered Fleurygal.

"Don’t speak of the dead that way! Gullio was a hero! He sacrificed his life for me!!" screamed Rettan.

"Gullio... That’s my grandfather Hitaru’s friend," mentioned Hantsuki as she stared at Fleurygal.

"It’s useless to find your beloved Laoni, we killed her... You should have seen her face! She was so terrified and screaming your name for help!" said Fleurygal as she giggled, mimicking Laoni.

"THAT’S NOT TRUE!" screamed Rettan as he took out his dagger, charging to attack with everything he had at Fleurygal.

Fleurygal stopped him quickly by binding him with her puppet strings. Every time Rettan struggled to get free of them the strings got tighter and tighter all over his body, making him bleed.

"You act so foolish... The more you struggle the more you suffer... Rettan, Great Seraphym, just quit your nonsense and join us. I’ll even grant you the wish of reviving Laoni for you! You have potential, join the winning side," said Fleurygal.

Hantsuki tried to run with her to cut the strings with her twinblade, but was quickly caught in one of them.

"That was easy, my powers are superior... Don’t defy me. I’ll ask again, Rettan, will you join us?" asked Fleurygal.

"LEAVE MY BROTHER ALONE!" screamed Jellirox as she ran at Fleurygal. She kicked Fleurygal’s wooden head, sending her flying. However, still controlling the strings, Fleurygal stood back up. She then trapped Jellirox with the strings, too, and began to increase the tension in the strings, making the struggle for all three even harder. Calipso didn’t know what to do, so he flew to the barn and started to scream in a very acute tune, making the piggies in the barn go insane. The sound waves made the strings vibrate, making the effect of pain even higher. However, the piggies went on a rampage and destroyed the barn door. Calipso screamed harder and harder, causing the strings to break due to such sound waves. The rampaging piggies all passed over Fleurygal, making her be stomped by all 50 of them.

Fleurygal weakly stood up again, with rage in her face.

"This time you were saved. I won’t kill you, because I have fun with you people. For now... I shall go, but heck yes, we will meet again." Fleurygal said in a very faint voice, disappearing with the red cloud, and clearing the night sky once again.

"We are saved," said Jellirox.

"All thanks to our baby Calipso!" giggled Hantsuki.

Jellirox healed everyone once more, and walked up to Calipso. She took out that snail tie she had received from Whirl, who was Rauchel’s snail friend. She closed her eyes and smiled, placing the tie on Calipso’s neck.



"This is the most precious thing I can give you as a thanks for saving us, little Calipso, and... It looks cute on you!" giggled Jellirox.

"AAAAAAH!" screamed Rettan.

"WHAT HAPPENED?!" Everyone asked.

"The piggies... We will have to fetch them again!! AAAAAAAAAAH!!!" whined Rettan.

Everyone laughed, as the stars dotted the sky, and the moon complemented a perfect night. Meanwhile, in a distant desert, a very technological factory is seen. Waveblade walks into the factory and sees the silhouette of a man.

"Clavis... When will the project PROTO conclude?" asked Waveblade.

"Patience, tell Apozen I need more time," said Clavis, who was the silhouette.

"This... will be my ultimate creation... superior being..."
