Capítulo 19: Fulgar Drive (1)
"So my brother is dead..? The Lost killed him?" The cashier asked and looked down.
"I'm sorry...It would seem that they killed him before we were aware of his presence, but we won't let his death go in vain. I promise.." Snow White said..
I crossed my arms and closed my eyes. "I personally don't think he's dead. Crest was one of the King's Units right? He can't be dead."
"What makes you think that?" Snow White asked.
"He's too important of an asset. What was he to the King?" I asked.
"He was known as the King's Sword. Actually...he was the old Jack. For him to be kidnapped would mean that they caught him off guard essentially. If he's really still alive, please save him..." The cashier said and bowed toward us.
"We will try our best..." I said.
Snow White bowed toward the cashier then walked off. I followed behind and the two of us went back to the motel. We walked into our room and Snow White sighed softly as she sat on the bed. I sat beside her and looked at the pass.
"You really believe he's still alive..?" Snow White asked and leaned against me.
"I truly believe he is. No way can they kill off someone like Crest. They're probably planning to turn him into a Lost Member. He is a Jack after all." I said.
"That's true..." Snow White said and closed her eyes.
I looked at Snow White and set the pass down then pulled her closer to me. "Times are getting more dangerous now that Cheshur is more active...He really intends on killing me and I'm afraid that the more Mad I become...the more Lost I become. I'm running out of time...and I don't know if I will be able to withstand the test of time before I become lost in Madness..."
Snow White looked up at me and stared into my eyes. "Don't say that...Please. For once in my life I've found someone who actually appreciates me and I don't want to lose you."
"Snow..." I said softly.
"Please Leo...Just refrain from becoming Mad a little longer, just a bit more please...if you become Lost, we will lose this war and I want to see the end with you..." Snow White said and leaned into me.
I watched her and gently placed my forehead against hers. "I want to see the end with you as well...with everyone. No matter what happens..."
Snow White held my cheek and kissed my lips. I kissed back and gently placed my hand on her thigh. Snow White began to press herself against me gently then pushed me down gently. She began to slowly get on top of me then broke the kiss. She untied her dress and took it off so I could view her lingerie.
I stared at Snow White and slowly rubbed up her thigh. She allowed me to gently grab the straps of her panties. I was going to slide them down then a knock was heard at the door.
"Jesus...I'm starting to think this happens on purpose..." I sighed softly.
Snow White smiled and got off me. "Maybe another time..~"
I sat up and got off the bed then walked toward the door. I looked through the peephole and noticed it was covered. Joker grabbed my shoulder and stopped me.
"Careful.." He warned.
I carefully opened the door then grunted as I dodged a chakram. Snow White looked surprised and noticed a man warp in the room then quickly covered herself. I looked back and noticed Agni.
"You—" I started.
"Listen, I know I'm interrupting your intimate moment, but you need to just listen to me. Snow White, you're in grave danger. In more danger than Alice is in right now, you too Leo." Agni said.
"And why should we believe you?" I asked.
Agni revealed he wielded a piece of the Pendant of Elements. "I work closely with The Lost. I hold the Piece of Flames. Look the others don't know I'm working as a double agent, but look...I know who all has the pieces of your pendant. Of course you see that I wield a piece, Rigel wields the Shadow Piece, and Fiorello wields the Earth Piece."
"Okay? So what's your information? And you know if they find out that you're a traitor..." I said.
"I will be killed, I've already got that memorized..." Agni said and shrugged. "Look, I don't even belong, but I have no choice and I want to see the Goddess killed as much as the next person...however I'm trapped. I'm stuck in this cell of misery until I'm able to be free and the only way for me to be free is for you to kill me...so once I lay this information upon you, we will once again be enemies."
"Nagi.." Snow White said.
Agni grunted softly and sighed. "The remaining four are as follows: Kaminari wields the Lightning Piece, Leith wields the Water Piece, Lucia wields the Light Piece, and Aether wields the Mystic Piece."
"Before you go...Is Crest still alive?" Snow White asked.
Agni stepped backwards and a dark portal opened behind him. "He is still alive. He's being held at Bizarrevilla, if you want to save him...you would need to reach that city, but be warned... Bizarrevilla could very well be your final resting place if you're unprepared."
Agni tossed me a Jack of Hearts card and I caught it. I looked at the card then looked back at Agni.
"You're gonna need it..." Agni said and disappeared into the portal then it closed.

Snow White sighed softly and looked at me. "We're nearing the beginning of the end."
"I'm assuming those who wield a piece of the Pendant, are considered one of the Seven Dwarves?" I asked.
"They contain the souls of the Seven Dwarves. After my death, they were killed as well and their souls inhabited the Lost Members, but only the specific ones I was close to before my death. Listen, we can't go to Serene City right now...We need to go back to the Ruined Temple of Titans." Snow White said.
"Why?" I asked.
"My True Weapon lies there. A weapon I sealed away because it brought out the worst in me, but I feel ready enough to brave the Madness." Snow White said.
"What's the weapon called?" I asked and walked toward the bed.
"It's called Edge of Vanity. It's my strongest weapon, but the reason I sealed it away was because I would slowly lose myself within its power. It also has the Reverse Ace Symbol...and it's infused with the power of Pride. If I'm not careful, I could become Lost just like the others.." Snow White said.
I looked at Snow White and got into bed. "Well I won't let that happen to you...I won't allow you to become Lost. You're too important to become Lost..."
Snow White smiled at me then kissed my cheek. "Let's get some rest okay..?"
"Yeah..." I nodded.

The next day rolled around and we all got ready to go our separate ways for now. Alice held the Serene Pass in her hands and looked at me and Snow White. I had explained to them everything that was going to happen.
"Okay...you two be safe okay?" Alice said.
I nodded and kissed her cheek. "We will, you three be safe also.."
Alice smiled and nodded. "We will..."
After our short exchange we parted ways. Snow White and I made our way back to the Ruined Temple of Titans while Alice, Suimin, and Kaguya traversed to Serene City.
Once we made it, I followed Snow White to the hidden area where the Edge of Vanity was sealed. She was about to grab it then suddenly a knife shaped like a bolt of lightning stuck to the wall beside us. A group of humanoid ninja-esque Deviants appeared behind us.
"Well well!~ Snow White, I didn't realize your boyfriend would have been so hot..~" A woman said as she walked toward us.
I looked back and noticed a woman. She had an hourglass figure which was a bit attractive, long golden hair, and emerald green eyes. She wore the usual Lost Attire consisting of the white coat, gloves, and boots but her boots were more feminine sporting a more heeled look.
"Kaminari..." Snow White said as if she loathed the sight of Kaminari.
"You made a mistake coming here unprepared..~ I expected you to come here as this is where your strongest weapon lies...but I don't plan on letting you awaken your Nightmarish Power. This is where I complete what Rigel couldn't." Kaminari said and summoned four knives between her fingers then licked her lips.
I looked at Kaminari then summoned my mask and put it on. "Not while I'm here..."
"Ha! I have something for you, Jo-ker!~ Bolt Ninjas, strike him down! Leave Snow White to me!" Kaminari said.
I watched as the Ninjas summoned their knives and got into their stances. My Skill Sigil shined and I summoned my Energy Blade then got ready for battle. "Come..."
The Ninjas dashed toward me at high speeds and all went for a simultaneous attack. I vanished and appeared above them. I came back down, stabbing my blade into the ground and causing dark energy to erupt around me, striking the Bolt Ninjas.
Kaminari smirked and got into her stance. She summoned more Ninjas then laughed. "Have some more! The fun's just starting!"
Snow White grabbed her Edge of Vanity while Kaminari was distracted with me. Her eyes shined brightly then her Ace Symbol shined then flipped upside down. She began duel wielding both her Claymores.
I easily struck down the Ninjas and looked around for Kaminari. She was certainly faster than the King's Assassin as I couldn't track her. My Preflex activated and I dodged Kaminari's attack.
Snow White dashed toward Kaminari and slashed in a circle releasing two cutting waves of energy at Kaminari, but Kaminari began to move so fast that the cutting waves phased through her body. "Tch... Intangible Speed..."
"Too slow!" Kaminari laughed then kicked Snow White away, launching her through a wall.
Snow White recovered and noticed one of Kaminari's knives land behind her. She looked behind herself and grunted as Kaminari was already behind her. She dodged her slash then groaned as Kaminari kicked her away. Kaminari threw her knives at Snow White then warped toward each one, striking Snow White along the way.
"Fulgar Flash Rus—NNGH!!" Kaminari groaned as she was blown away. She rolled on the ground and recovered. She looked at me and looked surprised.
"That was a nice move you did...You don't mind if I take it right..?" I chuckled and summoned Dark Energy Knives.
'Rigel was right...He can copy any technique... He's too dangerous, I need to kill him first.' Kaminari thought to herself.
Kaminari was about to move then noticed I was gone. "Where did he go..?!"
I appeared behind Kaminari with a wicked smirk on my face then struck her, sending her flying into a broken wall. She groaned and fell to the ground.
"I'm forced to change up my fighting style with each of you Lost Members, but that's the excitement of these battles. Having to think on my feet...I just hope you're ready to start the real battle now." I said and smirked.
Snow White stood up and smirked. "Justice..."
Kaminari stood up and lightning crackled around her body. Her eyes shined brightly and she smirked. "Yeah...this one is gonna be good..."
