Chapter 2: Chapter 2 : The Elemental Serpent
Luke, Wendy and Carla had arrived at the Cait Shelter guild after a long walk through the forest, the guild was stationed somewhere in the forest and the buildings seemed to be more of a tribal fashion as they were tents and not made of bricks or cement. What caught his interest was that the tents were designed like cats which was strange to him.
'Albion while we're heading inside, did you sense anything interesting about this world?' Luke asked
[I sensed both pure and good magic in the air as well as strong cold and dark magic too, so your other side will be helpful if we're to run into the darkness] Albion answered
'Right thanks for the information, who knows what my dad would do if he found out that I was taken by darkness.' Luke stated
[Yeah no kidding, just be glad that you're one of the most powerful out of your faction] Albion stated
"We're here! this is Cait Shelter!" Wendy stated as Luke observed the architecture and layout of the guild, and indeed he was actually quite impressed
"This is pretty cool, so how do I join the guild?" Luke asked
"We'll take you to our master and he'll give you the guild mark." Carla answered as they walked him into the biggest tent and inside Luke saw an old man sitting upon a chair
"Welcome back Wendy and Carla, may I ask who this young man is?" The old man asked looking at Luke
"This is Luke, he helped us when we were attacked." Wendy answered as his ears perked up to the last part of Wendy's sentence
"Attacked?" He said
"We we're attacked by a vulcan and luckily we ran into Luke here and he was able to deal with it quite quickly." Carla stated
"I see, thank you for helping Wendy Luke, my name Roubaul." He introduced
"It's no problem sir, my full name is Luke Knight." Luke returned the gesture
"So may I ask what business you may have?" Roubaul asked
"We were hoping if Luke can join the guild." Wendy asked with hope
"Of course he can join, where and what colour would you like your mark to be?" Master Roubaul asked
"I'll have in white with a blue outline on my right shoulder." Luke answered revealing his right shoulder blade at which Roubaul placed the mark
"Welcome to the Cait Shelter guild Luke, we're glad to have you." Roubaul said with smile on his face which Luke nodded to. "As you can see over there is the request board where you may take as you desire."
"Thank you sir." Luke said with a bow
Time Skip
Luke was now at the request board scanning over the different missions that were on the request board, to his surprise there we actually a descent amount for such a small known guild but he wasn't complaining. The request ranged from very minor request involving finding lost items to more arduous request like killing monsters.
[Hey partner, when we were meeting with Master Roubaul did you sense what I did?] Albion asked
'Yeah, his body and life force seemed kind of corporeal.' Luke answered to the vanishing dragon's question
[We'll ignore it since I don't feel any ill intent from him, so have you found anything good?] Albion asked
'I think this one will do, it says to defeat some kind of sea monster that has taken a public beach as it's territory and none of the locals can access it, and it says that they'll pay us 500,000 Jewels and that it's an A-Class request.' Luke answered
[Sounds good, and it seems we've found what this world uses as it's currency] Albion added getting an agreement nod from Luke as he scanned over the rest of the paper, Luke then walked over to the master
Unknown to him was that Wendy from across the area was watching him as he picked his request and went over to Roubaul. She was sitting down with Carla in front of her on the table she was at.
"You should get a request soon as well Wendy." Carla said to her partner
"I know but I'm worried that I'll mess it up." Wendy said
"It's true that your shy demeanor makes it difficult for you on jobs but you still need to try your best." Carla said before thinking. "How about you join Luke on his next request and see how well it goes."
"That sounds good, I'll ask him when he comes back if I can go with him on his next request then." Wendy answered a bit nervously
"Master I would like to take on this request." Luke said as he handed Roubaul the request as he scanned the sheet
"Are you sure you want to take on such a request straight away?" Roubaul asked worried for Luke's safety
"I will be fine, I'm sure I can take it." Luke answered with a smile
"Okay then be careful." Roubaul said and thought. 'That boy and his smile is just too difficult to say no to!'
"Thanks master! I'll be going now!" Luke said before running out of the guild as Carla and Wendy watched him leaving the guild
Time Skip
"So it says the we'll have to get on the train and head to a place called Crystal Beach?" Luke said looking at the request again
[Sounds interesting, I wonder how powerful that sea creature will be, I hope it'll give us a challenge.] Albion added
'Well the train station is just over there so let's get going before we're late.' Luke said to Albion has he ran over to the train station, Luke bought a ticket and quickly got onto the train before taking a seat as something inside of him ticked, his face suddenly became green and held a hand over his mouth
'What the heck! I was never motion sick before!' Luke mentally yelled
[It may be due to the fact we're in a new world and has affected us somehow... and why the heck am I sick as well!?] Albion yelled the last part as he was also green in the sacred gear
'We just have to endure it for the next 2 hours and we'll off the train!' Luke said getting a shocked reaction Albion
[2 hours!? I don't think I can wait that long!] Albion yelled as they both tried to endure the train ride
2 Hours Later
"Finally off the train, my gut has never felt so horrible before in my life." Luke said as he took a breath of the fresh air
[Please never again! that experience is something I never want to have again!] Albion said still a bit sick from the ride
'We still have to take the train back to our guild you know?' Luke said to Albion who had a look of horror on his face as Luke was also dreading the train ride back, Luke then made his way to the address that was told on the request, he then found himself in front of a large empty beach and a house house just beside it, there were people looking worried just staring at the beach in a depressing manner
Luke walked towards the house which was the correct address as printed on the request paper, the house was 2 stories tall and was white in colour, the roof was made of what looks to be cement which wondered what was the house made of to be able to support the freakin roof. He knocked on the door a couple times before waiting as after a couple seconds the door opened to reveal a man with grey hair that was probably around 60 years of age.
"Yes? how may I help you young man?" The old man said with a soft smile
"I'm here for the request about some kind of monster terrorizing the nearby beach." Luke explained
"Oh! you must be from the Cait Shelter guild, please come inside!" The man said as Luke walked in and the man lead Luke to the living room where they sat on the couch opposite to the man
"First of all i'd like to thank you for taking my request, my name is Clark." The old man explained
"No problem Clark, so what's the deal with the beach." Luke asked
"Well the people of the town are wanting to enjoy their time at the beach but because of the monster we haven't been able to, we're hoping that you'd be able to remove the monster so the beach is safe for everyone once again." Clark explained
"I see, is there anything I should know about the creature before I go searching." Luke asked looking for more details
"Well the beast lives somwhere at the bottom of the beach and it has 3 heads, people say it's an elemental creature as one of it's head shoot water, the other fire and the last one lightning." Clark explained getting a whistle from Luke
'That's some pretty amazing creature' Luke mentally thought
[We may get a good fight afterall!] Albion said
"Well thanks for the information sir, i'll be heading off now and I'll make sure to get your request done!" Luke said getting a nod from Clark as Luke rushed out the house towards the beach
Time Skip
"Okay Clark said the monster should be somewhere at the bottom of the ocean." Luke said to himself
[I suggest we get it's attention without heading underwater ourselves since we would be at a disadvantage] Albion suggested
"Right, that sounds like the best idea." Luke said as people that were watching the beach noticed his presence next to the water
"Hey kid! get out of there it's dangerous!"
"There's a monster that lives there!"
"Get back before you get attacked!"
Luke didn't listen to them as his body was surrounded in a thin yet dense white energy, he had his eyes closed as he then opened them. Luke then slammed the ground with both hands sending a massive shockwave through the beach and it stirred up the nearby water causing waves to splash around.
"Vanishing Dragons Shockwave!" As Luke did the attack the ground rumbled and in front of Luke the water began to rise as in front of him was now a tall 3 headed sea dragon emerged and the water rushed down from it's body, the creature roared at Luke as it then shot a torrent of water at him which he dodged and began to run up to the serpent
"Vanishing Dragons Division Fist!" Luke's fist was covered in a blue and white spiral energy that had a fire like appearance and he swung it at head that shot the water at him causing it to recoil back from the force as the other head fired fire towards Luke, but suddenly his body reacted on instinct and he opened his mouth and began to suck like a vacuum and the fire was absorbed into him
'What the! how did I do that!?' Luke mentally asked
[It seems that you were able to absorb the attack through your mouth which actually restored some of your power, I actually have been feeling some kind of new power in me which was similar to Wendy's. From what I concluded it seems that we have actually become dragon slayers upon entering this world, and from what I have learnt dragon slayers absorb there own elements but we're a special case as we can absorb from what appears to be the main elements like air, water, fire, lightning, earth and so on] Albion explained as Luke was surprised by the peice of news he had received
'Cool! well let's give it a shot!' Luke replied to Albion as he then ran up the serpent's body and then up onto the middle neck which shot the fire and on his hands appeared to large white claws with blue outlines. "Vanishing Dragons Claw Stream!"
He used the claws that formed in his hand and as he ran up the middle neck used his claws and slashed away while running causing deep wounds to appear and jumped back onto the ground as his claws disappeared and the middle head was cut into multiple peices but to his surprise blood didn't spew but instead the head turned into fire and disappeared
"So, you don't spill blood but just disappear ha? that's good I never liked to see people bleed." Luke said as both the remaining heads shot their breath attacks at him, the left was water and the other lightning
"Albion I hope you're right!" Luke said as he opened his mouth and began to suck in both the attacks at the same time like a vacuum, after a bit he closed his mouth and wiped his mouth with his right arm. "That actually tasted good, never thought I would ever say that."
[I'm really liking our new abilities] Albion said quite amazed by the new power they had been given upon arriving in Earthland [We should finish this now so we can get back though Luke]
'Alright, let's finish this little dance then.' Luke said as he held both his arms stretched out to the sides and in each hand formed formed a blue and white sharp looking blade
"Vanishing Dragons Twin Blades!" Luke threw them both at the serpent like a frisbee and they flew through the air at rapid speeds, one blade was aimed at the right head and the other at the left head, once the blades had made contact with the neck of each head the head was cut off instantly as they also disappeared leaving only the body left
"Vanishing Dragons Roar!" Luke leaned his head back with his mouth open as a blue and white orb of energy appeared in front of his mouth as he then swung his head forwards and a beam of energy was sent towards the body of the serpent causing a big explosion in the water, as the water cleared and Luke as well as all that were watching with amazement could now see the body had a big hole in it and it began to disappear getting roars of cheers from the spectators
"He defeated it!"
"We can finally enjoy the beach again!"
"Kid you are a freaking hero!"
Time Skip
"I can't thank you enough young man! you saved our people and we're able to go back to enjoying the beach!" Clark said with excitement
"It was no problem sir, I'm glad I was able to help." Luke said with a smile
"Please tell your master that you and his help was greatly appreciated, here's your reward for helping us." Clark said as he gave Luke the 500,000 Jewels
"Thanks Clark, I should be getting back now." Luke said as he stood up from the couch he was sitting at
"Before you go! please accept this as well for your amazing job." Clark said handing over to Luke which was a white scarf that slowly became a blue colour the closer to the ends
"Are you sure?" Luke asked
"Absolutely! you deserve more for the amazing job and efficiency in the fight against that monster." Clark said as Luke kindly accepted the gift, he then wrapped it around his neck and strangely the scarf defied gravity and the blue end floated slightly upwards
"Thanks for the gift Clark! Well, I'll be heading back now!" Luke said
"Come by any time!" Clark said as Luke left the house and began to walk back from the direction he came from
[That's a nifty looking scarf ya got, it even has our colours] Albion complimented
"Yeah, it's an awesome looking scarf but... back to the torture machine we go." Luke groaned as he walked getting Albion's attention
[What do you mean?] Albion asked not quite understanding what his partner meant
"I mean the death machine, the hell to our guts, the place where our lives and souls as well as stomachs lie at the entrance of death's door, the train." Luke stated with a drip of sweat running down his face and his eyes shadowed as Albion gasped
[Not again!] Albion yelled
Time Skip
Luke had made it to the train station where he dreaded the ride of his life to happen again, he was dreading the ride back as he waited for the train to arrive at the station for his way back to the guild, Albion was begging Luke to not take the train.
[Please Luke! I don't want to go into the death machine again!] Albion pleaded
'We have no choice Albion, I don't want to go either but we have to get back to the guild one way or another and the train is the best option.' Luke replied
[Why don't we just use our wings!?] Albion suggested
'I'm not just going to reveal my wings in the public where people will give us weird looks, and the fact that I hate alot of attention.' Luke answered
[Which is worse?! Getting alot of attention from the surrounding people or puking our guts out and praying that our lives won't end at any second!?] Albion yelled
'The attention.' Luke answered simply
[You can't be serious!?] Albion shouted
'Look, I don't want to either but I'm just not going to fly through the sky getting alot of attention from people just so we don't puke our guts out.' Luke said as his train had arrived at the station and he stood up and began walking to it. 'And there's our train now.'
[No please!] Albion pleaded
'Sorry Albion, we're going in.' Luke replied
[I don't want to get sick again! we can think of another way!] Albion suggested
'And in we go!' Luke said as he jumped into the train
[Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!] Albion yelled with comical tears
