บท 13: A Granddaughter's Smile
Ryūshi: "And unfortunately to us, We're in a dangerous situation right now" Ryūshi proclaimed. "We can't underestimate them, especially with their abilities," Ryūshi added, shocking Ryūsei.
Ryūsei: "Abilities??" Ryūsei asked in confusion. "Abilities are generally based upon Elemental Arts" Ryūshi proclaimed.
Ryūshi: "If you have the ability "Divine Protection" because of your Elemental Art. What would happen if an Elementalist has a similar Elemental Art to yours?" Ryūshi asked, shocking Ryūsei, making him realize how dangerous the situation they're in.
Ryūsei: "That Elementalist might have "Divine Protection" as well." Ryūsei replied in shock.
Ryūshi: "If we plan to stop them, we must join the Grand Shōtotsu" Ryūshi proclaimed, shocking Ryūsei. Is he saying what Ryūsei thinks he's saying?
Ryūsei: "Ryūshi..... You don't mean what I think you mean" Ryūsei curiously asked.
Ryūshi: "You got it right Ryūsei, A temporary Chīma between us two until this problem is dealt with." Ryūshi happily replied.
Ryūsei: "I appreciate the sudden idea Ryūshi...." Ryūsei muttered. "But it would be unfair to everyone who participated if we teamed up." He added.
Ryūshi: "Guess you're right Ryūsei" Ryūshi replied, He sighed and then decided to think of another plan. "Let's go to Plan B then" He happily proclaimed as an idea went through his mind.
Ryūsei: "Plan B???" Ryūsei curiously asked. "I'd be in the spectator's area standing by to see how it goes. If things get out of hand I'll be stepping in," Ryūshi proclaimed, and Ryūsei agreed to the plan. They then continued to walk around the Kingdom.
Ryūshi: "You must be careful Ryūsei, We have no idea how strong they could be" Ryūshi proclaimed, warning his friend. "Yeah, I will..." Ryūsei replied.
As Ryūsei and Ryūshi continued to walk around the Kingdom, After a while Ryūsei then looked at the badge he got from Nendo and decided to ask Ryūshi something.
Ryūsei: "Ryūshi can I ask you something??" Ryūsei asked. "Yeah sure, ask away!!" Ryūshi happily replied.
Ryūsei: "It's about this badge...." Ryūsei replied, showing the badge he got from Nendo. "I don't believe it....." Ryūshi proclaimed, he was speechless. "It's the Storm Stone..." He added.
Ryūshi: "Where did you get it???" Ryūshi asked. "I got it from a quest back then" Ryūsei replied. "This special stone was the last jewel that Arashi left behind before he passed away," Ryūshi proclaimed. "The Storm Stone contains a fraction of his Elemental Art basically containing the power inside waiting for someone to harness and master the power." He added.
Ryūsei: "Grandpa's Elemental Art is the Storm Dragon right???" Ryūsei asked. "Yes, Your grandfather Arashi was a formidable foe to those who stand against him." Ryūshi replied before they heard someone behind them.
???: "Well well well, It's been a long time since we last saw each other Ryūshi Ryūgū or should I say the Crowned Dragon Of Creation." The stranger behind them stated. He was wearing a brown hood.
Ryūshi: "What are you doing in this timeline Jikan Norenzoku. Or should I say....The Crowned Dragon Of Time." Ryūshi proclaimed, looking at the Elementalist with the brown hood. Ryūsei was shocked, another Crowned Dragon?
Jikan: "Why, Can't a guy visit a friend on an upcoming special occasion?" Jikan asked, removing the brown hood he was wearing. His hair was light blue and his eyes were dark blue. "You rarely visit, Or should I say, You rarely are in this timeline." Ryūshi proclaimed.
Ryūsei: "Hello, I'm Ryūsei Ryūgū-" Ryūsei happily greeted before being interrupted by Jikan. "You don't have to introduce yourself, I already met you in future timelines." Jikan proclaimed, showing a smile on his face.
Ryūshi: "So what brings you to this timeline???" Ryūshi asked once again. "To watch the upcoming Grand Shōtotsu-" Jikan replied but Ryūshi then glares at him with a serious look.
Ryūshi: "You're not fooling anyone Jikan, You only visit if there's trouble in the Space Timeline Continuum." Ryūshi proclaimed. "What happened?" He asked.
Jikan: "Nothing gets past you, Ryūshi." Jikan sighed. "It's time to come clean, Come with me." Jikan proclaimed, walking away from Ryūshi and Ryūsei. The two Elementalist then followed him and they headed off to the park where they visited Akashino's monument.
(At the Park)
Ryūshi: "What are we doing here???" Ryūshi asked. "There were just too many people in that area," Jikan replied.
Jikan: "Anyway, You're right Ryūshi. Something happened to the Space Time Continuum" Jikan proclaimed.
Ryūshi: "I knew it, I'm guessing it has something to do with the three tremendous energies I sensed the other day" Ryūshi replied, nodding his head.
Jikan: "I'm surprised you had already figured it out" Jikan proclaimed. "It was really easy if you put two and two together," Ryūshi replied.
Ryūshi: "So what's the full reason on why you're in this timeline??" Ryūshi asked. "A couple of weeks ago or should I say a few decades from now. There was an Elementalist who appeared in the future, running a rampage in the future." He replied.
Ryūsei: "Is it Quintela??!!" Ryūsei asked. "No it wasn't Quintela, the Elementalist going on a rampage was corrupted. A puppet being manipulated and used" Jikan replied.
Ryūshi: "Corrupted?" Ryūshi asked. "I won't go into full details on how an Elementalist could get corrupted. But yes, corrupted, He was possessed by a Demon" Jikan replied.
Ryūshi: "So why did you go back to this timeline then???? To get reinforcements???" Ryūshi asked.
Jikan: "Well reinforcements weren't needed at first. I could've easily handled the situation on my own" Jikan replied. "Unfortunately that bastard had a really annoying Elemental Art." He added.
Ryūshi: "What's his Elemental Art???" Ryūshi asked. "In the future, It's known as "Imitate"." Jikan replied. "It's a special kind of Elemental Art that allows him to copy and use an Elemental Art that he just witnessed." Jikan added.
Jikan: "Unfortunately, I found out about his Elemental Art the hard way...." Jikan then scratches his hand in annoyance. "Jikan you're saying what I think you're saying???" Ryūshi asked with a little worried tone in his voice. Jikan then sighed.
Jikan: "He imitated my Elemental Art when I arrived to fight him. He ran and travelled back in time" Jikan proclaimed. "I managed to track him down into this timeline, but unfortunately I lost sight of him when I arrived in this timeline," Jikan replied. Ryūshi then sighed.
Ryūshi: "So that explains why I suddenly sensed a tremendous amount of energy a few days ago." Ryūshi proclaimed.
Ryūsei: "So there's a corrupted Elementalist on the loose, I can't wait to fight him-" Ryūsei proclaimed, before being interrupted by Ryūshi.
Ryūshi: "Ryūsei, This is a serious threat. The Elementalist could imitate an Elemental Art that belongs to a Crowned Dragon" Ryūshi proclaimed.
Ryūsei: "I don't get it, what's the big deal if he can do Jikan's Elemental Art?" Ryūsei asked, he was clueless on what's going on. "I know we can beat him" Ryūsei proclaimed.
Ryūshi: "Ryūsei, A Crowned Dragon power originated from the 7 Legendary Dragons. It's extremely dangerous if our powers manage to fall into the wrong hands" Ryūshi proclaimed.
Jikan: "Let me explain the situation to him Ryūshi" Jikan proclaimed, interrupting Ryūshi. "Go ahead, He seriously reminds me of Akashino" Ryūshi replied.
Jikan: "Ryūsei, My Elemental Art is known as the "Time Dragon". It's an extremely powerful Elemental Art that let's me manipulate time itself" Jikan proclaimed.
Jikan: "If my Elemental Art could wield time, what would happen if an Elementalist manages to copy it. They would also have the power to manipulate time" Jikan proclaimed, shocking Ryūsei.
Ryūshi: "Lucky for us, A Crowned Dragon's Elemental Art couldn't be copied no matter how skilled an Elementalist could be" Ryūshi proclaimed.
Jikan: "That's what I thought too Ryūshi, Until that Corrupted Elementalist showed up" Jikan proclaimed. "Maybe there's a limit on how much he could imitate," Ryūsei proclaimed.
Jikan: "Still, It would be pretty dangerous if he imitated more of the Crowned Dragons power, especially yours Ryūshi" Jikan proclaimed.
Ryūsei: "Why? What could happen?" Ryūsei curiously asked. "The Corrupted Elementalist imitated my Elemental Art, allowing him access to time travel. If he imitated Ryūshi's power… It could be disastrous" Jikan replied.
Ryūshi: "My Elemental Art is known as the "Quantum Dragon". It allows me to manipulate atoms in the Elemental World" Ryūshi proclaimed. "If he imitated my Elemental Art, he could probably turn the entire Kingdom and everyone in it into nothing but dust," Ryūshi added.
Ryūsei: "This is bad… This is really bad" Ryūsei proclaimed, finally realizing how dangerous the situation is exactly.
Ryūshi: "Speaking of which" Ryūshi proclaimed, looking at Jikan. "The tremendous amount of energy I sensed a few days ago was yours and the "Corrupted Elementalist". Ryūshi added, he then looks at Ryūsei.
Ryūshi: "Who's the Elementalist that has a similar Elemental Art to Ryūsei?" Ryūshi asked, looking at Jikan once again. "The person who came here to help," Jikan replied.
Jikan: "You can come out now!!!" Jikan yelled and suddenly a person came out from behind Akashino's monument. The person was wearing a black robe and as the person slowly approached them, The person removed the hood of the robe revealing a girl with dark blue hair and scarlet eyes.
???: "Are you sure we can trust them??" The girl worriedly asked, turning her head at Jikan. "Of course, This person right here is Ryūshi Ryūgū" Jikan proclaimed, pointing his finger at Ryūshi. "The Crowned Dragon Of Creation" He added.
Ryūshi: "Hello there, I hope I can be a good help to the problem you are dealing with." Ryūshi happily proclaimed as he greeted the girl.
???: "I appreciate it Ryūshi" The girl bowed her head. "I'm sorry for having someone like you involved in the scenario we're in" The girl proclaimed as she immediately apologised.
(Earlier Today)
Class at Aluxany Highschool had finally ended and Kasai, Sora, Yuki , Shadow, Shizen, and Kayosha left school. They decided to walk around the Kingdom, to stretch their legs after a long day at school. They were dismissed early from class and they all decided to walk together at the park.
Yuki: "Too bad Ryūsei couldn't come with us." Yuki muttered as she sighed in sadness. "Yeah, such a bummer." Kasai replied as he looked around.
Kayosha: "I'm surprised that Prof. Hex let him out of class early" Kayosha proclaimed before she was interrupted. Something caught Kasai's eye "Wait is that.... Ryūsei!!!" Kasai yelled, pointing his finger to Ryūsei, making the others look as well.
Shadow: "Yup, It's Ryūsei alright." Shadow replied. "Who're those two with him besides the boy he's touring?" Shizen asked.
Kasai: "I don't know, But I wanna find out." Kasai replies as he slowly heads off to approach Ryūsei causing the others no choice but to follow him as well.
(Back to the Present)
???: "Are you sure we can trust them??" The girl worriedly asked, turning her head at Jikan. "Of course, This person right here is Ryūshi Ryūgū" Jikan proclaimed, pointing his finger at Ryūshi. "The Crowned Dragon Of Creation" He added.
Ryūshi: "Hello there, I hope I can be a good help to the problem you are dealing with." Ryūshi happily proclaimed as he greeted the girl.
???: "I appreciate it Ryūshi" The girl bowed her head. "I'm sorry for having someone like you involved in the scenario we're in" The girl proclaimed as she immediately apologised.
Jikan: "The boy with the white hair is Ryūsei Ryūgū." Jikan happily proclaimed, introducing Ryūsei to the girl. The girl however was silent, she was speechless.
Ryūsei: "It's nice to meet you-" Ryūsei happily proclaimed, introducing himself to the girl. He was then speechless when the girl suddenly hugged Ryūsei as tears poured down her eyes as she cried.
???: "I've been wanting to meet you for so long....." The girl muttered as she cried in Ryūsei's arms.
Ryūsei: "I... ugh....ugh....wh... what's going on-" Ryūsei muttered as he was so confused on what's going on. His heart then suddenly stopped when he heard a familiar voice behind him. He knew he was dead and had to think of an excuse.
Kasai: "What do we have here? Care to explain yourself, Ryūsei?" Kasai teased as he suddenly jumped out from behind Ryūsei. Ryūsei then turned his head around seeing Sora, Yuki, Shizen, Shadow and Kayosha behind him.
The girl immediately breaks the hug and pulls away from Ryūsei. She quickly wipes her tears and she looks at Jikan. Jikan nodded his head in response, making a gesture giving her the green light.
???: "Well since we can't hide my presence in this world anymore. I guess it'll be alright to let you all know." The girl proclaimed, causing everyone to look at her.
"I know this is hard to believe but my name is Catherine Ryūgū" The girl proclaimed, shocking everyone. "R-R-Ryūgū?!" Ryūsei, Yuki and Shizen stuttered in disbelief. They have never seen her before. Is she a relative? Or maybe something else?
Catherine: "I am the future granddaughter of Ryūsei Ryūgū." The girl added, causing everyone to look at Ryūsei.
"G-G-G-Granddaughter!!!!" Everyone yelled, completely shocked. They were speechless.
Ryūshi: "Well this one's a shocker," Ryūshi proclaimed, slowly approaching Jikan . "Seems like you already knew from the very beginning, weren't you?" Jikan replied, asking Ryūshi. "Well I just thought of them being related with their Elemental Art somewhat similar but I didn't expect this" Ryūshi replied.
Catherine: "I can't tell you any more details about what happened in the future... As it would ruin the whole Space Time Continuum-" Catherine proclaimed, before being interrupted by Yuki.
Yuki: "My grandniece is so cute" Yuki happily proclaimed, pinching Catherine's cheek so hard.
Shadow: "Yuki, Could you at least let her finish talking before doing something like that? Besides, you're hurting her" Shadow proclaimed and Yuki immediately let go of Catherine's cheek.
Shizen: "I'm very sorry for her actions. She's just a little too girly with cute things" Shizen proclaimed, apologising to Catherine. "You may continue talking," He added.
Kasai: "But before that, Who's this boy next to Ryu?" Kasai proclaimed, looking at Jikan. Everyone then looked at the Crowned Dragon of Time.
Jikan: "Hello there, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Kanji Shitetsu. Nice to meet all of you" Jikan proclaimed, shocking everyone.
"S-S-S-Shitetsu!!" Everyone yelled except for Ryūshi, Catherine and Ryūsei. Ryūshi however mentally facepalmed himself.
Ryūshi: "I know we must hide our true identities but he could've picked a better last name for crying out loud" Ryūshi muttered in thought, glaring at Jikan. Jikan then gave a huge smirk.
Jikan: "I'm Ryu's older brother" He proclaimed looking at Ryūshi. "He's so dead," Catherine and Ryūsei muttered in thought. "I better change the subject before things get worse," Catherine muttered.
Catherine: "Anyway, what were we talking about?" Catherine proclaimed, getting everyone's attention.
Ryūsei: "Why are you here in our timeline?" Ryūsei curiously asked. He was still uncomfortable seeing his future granddaughter.
Catherine: "I managed to travel back in time, with the help of an ancient spell from the Crowned Dragon of Time" Catherine replied. "You met a Crowned Dragon?" Everyone asked, they were completely shocked.
Catherine: "Yes, He came to our aid. Without him, I would have not been able to travel back in time" Catherine replied.
Kasai: "Amazing, Your granddaughter is much cooler than you Ryūsei, Can't believe she met a Crowned Dragon" Kasai teased, trying to annoy Ryūsei.
Shizen: "Why did you travel back in time? Did something happen in the future?" Shizen worriedly asked.
Catherine: "To stop my friend from destroying the Elemental World. He travelled back in time to this era…." Catherine proclaimed but with a more sad and soft tone in her voice.
Kasai: "A friend??? A friend who's going to destroy the Elemental World??? I don't see the friend part there." Kasai sarcastically teased.
Catherine: "He isn't like that....." Catherine proclaimed, defending her friend. "He was just corrupted..... He was corrupted b-because of me...." Catherine muttered, she began to cry and the others began glaring at Kasai.
Ryūsei: "Hey, It's alright, It's not your fault things are like this. Don't blame yourself for what's happened." Ryūsei proclaimed, hugging Catherine. He did what he could to comfort her. He didn't know what's going on but he knew that she must've been through a lot.
Yuki: "Yeah… Don't blame yourself sweetie. I'm sure everything will go back to normal" Yuki proclaimed.
Catherine: "It's just that... It's my fault he got corrupted.....We've been friends for so long....." Catherine muttered. "I never noticed he had feelings for me… And the day he confessed… I wasn't ready…" She added.
Catherine: "I didn't know..... I didn't know the problems he had and I just added another burden... Now he got corrupted because of me...." She muttered, letting go of Ryūsei and cried once more.
Yuki: "It's okay.... We're here for you Catherine, We'll figure something out." Yuki proclaimed, hugging Catherine, trying her best to comfort her, causing Catherine to smile a little. "Yeah, We'll save this friend of yours from this corruption thing." Shizen proclaimed.
Shadow: "Dark blue hair… Her attitude is different from Ryūsei… She acts more mature for her age yet soft and fragile" Shadow muttered, trying to figure out something.
Shizen: "What are you thinking?" Shizen asked, looking at Shadow.
Shadow: "Kayosha's the only one I know with blue hair and is extremely close to Ryūsei" Shadow muttered. "Could she be Catherine's grandmother?" He added.
Shizen: "It is a possibility, those two are extremely close. But don't you think she would've had an Elemental Art similar to Kayosha" Shizen replied. "Why don't we ask?" Shadow replied.
Shadow: "Catherine, If it's alright with you, I'd like to ask? What's your Elemental Art???" Shadow asked, looking at Catherine. Catherine was hesitant to reply to the question, causing the others to look at her.
Yuki: "Shadow, we mustn't ask too personal questions that might ruin the future." Yuki scolded, causing everyone to laugh.
Catherine: "I'm very sorry I can't answer your question… My Elemental Art is a little too complicated" Catherine replied.
Kayosha: "Well if you're Ryūsei's granddaughter, then you must have an extremely powerful Elemental Art" Kayosha proclaimed, causing the others to smile.
Catherine: "T-T-Thank you very much… Thank you very much, miss" Catherine replied. "It really means a lot…" She replied.
Ryūsei: "Catherine, I promise you that we will rescue your friend from the state he is in." Ryūsei happily proclaimed, causing Catherine to smile and look at him. "Thank you, Grandpa." Catherine happily replied.
Catherine's smile started to disappear once again, turning her adorable cute smile into a sad frown. Her sudden change of mood bothered the others causing them to be a bit concerned. "What's the matter Catherine???" Ryūsei concernly asked, looking at his future granddaughter.
Catherine: "It's nothing Grandpa, I'm alright…" Catherine muttered, causing the others to be more concerned. "Catherine, what's wrong?" Yuki concernedly asked. "Yeah, You can tell us…" Ryūsei added.
Catherine: "It's just that... In the future... I never even once met or interacted with you Grandpa...." She proclaimed, shocking everyone. "You weren't around in my childhood....." She added, causing everyone to yell and scold Ryūsei. Ryūshi was shocked hearing this… Was Ryūsei no longer around in the future?
Ryūshi: "Is Ryūsei dead? No it can't be? It's not possible right?" Ryūshi muttered in thought.
Ryūshi: "So where is Ryūsei??" Ryūsei asked. "Grandpa and grandma are no longer in the Elemental World" Catherine replied.
Catherine: "My father only told me stories about you and grandma and the adventures you had…" Catherine muttered, trying to hold back her tears. She then begins to tear up as she looks at Ryūsei.
Catherine: "And seeing you in person.... even if it's you from the past.... really makes me happy." She happily proclaimed as she showed a warm smile on her face.
