  The version of imperial spears has been updated. But the only change is that Emily is the Death deity, and Ishmal is the Fire Deity. Thank you

  Part VII- Crystal Tower

  Mattais

  Is it my turn to narrate? PERFECT! Okay so, Hi! My name is Mattais. I am currently 16,003 years old. As of yesterday. Anyways, Xavier is my cousin, and Lucia is... um... Cousin in law in the Future... Wait Past! Aw, what the hell. Well, lets get back to the future... past... huff. Let's continue the story. Ivan is bleeding.

  I stood over a broken bed, a bleeding Ivan, and a dead Asura. GOD DAMN IT! I CAN'T DO ANYTHING RIGHT! Or, that's what I thought... but on the outside I was just too tired. Why did Xavier send me and Nah in here! Why not Lucia! Well, things could be worse... Naw, they couldn't. And very much to my surprise, they didn't get any worse. Good. Ivan was sobbing on the ground. Loch had a straight face when he bandaged him up. I think it's time to tell them. Getting Heather to slap Hector awake, we all sat at the table, sipping Xavier's favorite Caramel coffee. He is going to be angry. I smiled. Now That all of the newcomers have gathered around me, and I began to talk. "Okay everyone, listen to me. You may never hear this again. Ever. Maybe. Okay. You guys know how Lucia, Xavier, and I are time travellers, right?" They nodded simultaneously. "Well, to put it simply... Hector... Have you ever wanted to become a mage?" Hector was taken aback. "Yeah... ever since..." "ever since you got... Pwned by Tobias correct?" Hector was flabbergassed "how did you...?" "I am you... I am the future you..." everyone looked at me in disbelief. "Oh really?" Said Loch. "We are the past you? Then which of you three is me?" I smiled. "None of us. Later, you gain a sense of humor and become: King Claus. Nah, You become Britney... My future wife." She began to protest but I continued. "Heather, you are Lucia" she smiled. "Hector, You are me" he was very taken aback by this "And Ivan matures (A LOT), stops the sexism (like every human should), and actually starts getting women (Not that he wants anyone later) and looks better, and changes from a thief to a Super-Amplified-Über-Ultra famous assassin and can KILL things. In short: Xavier." Heather laughed. "Ivan become Xavier? And me become..." SUDDEN REALIZATION! "Oh... That... Makes... Sense..." Yes Heather, listen to your heart. "Let's sleep on that thought okay? Its a lot to think about." The next day Xavier woke me up, with that goddamn fugalhorn. It is so annoying! Anyways, I you out of bed, and Loch and Xavier were talking at the table. "Am... I really called 'Claus'?" Xavier sighed. "Tay told you, didn't he. Yes. I believe you are." Loch was intrigued. "And I am called King? Correct?" Xavier nodded. "Yeah. But that is after you kill a lot of people." Loch smiled deviously. "Oh really? I'm up for... WHAT THE HELL?" Xavier turned, just to be stabbed in the stomach by... HELEN!? Xavier clutched his stomach, intestines falling out, gushing blood. "Helen... How... are... you...?" Helen's hair turned from dark blue to blond. She dropped the Dirk in her hand. She is Bi-Polar. Her eyes watered. "Xavier... I... I..." she stammered, and burst out in tears. "I'm so sorry!" She wailed and rushed forward to hug Xavier. Loch's sword was out, pointed at her, frightened look in his eyes. "Look," Xavier comforted, obviously in tremendous pain. "You have more than one personality... you can't help being murderous..." he coughed and blood sprayed from his mouth. "...Sometimes..." he patted her on the back. "Look... Helen..." his breaths became shorter, more sporadic. "You can control your personalities... try... now..." Helen seemed to calm a bit, and concentrated, her head bouncing off the chandelier. Seven different ghostly Helens occupied the room. With a yell of triumph and raising her arms, all the ghost Helens converged into real Helen. "Good... Loch..." Loch looked at him. "Take care... of... me..." and he passed out, with an evil laughter etched into his face. Helen started bawling, and Loch's eyes watered. I was crying. Lucia came out. "What is going...!" She never finished that statement. Instead she rushed over and started sobbing over Xavier's body. Heather came out "Um..." by the way, this is what she saw. Loch sitting in a chair, crying. Helen and Lucia weeping over Xavier, who was on the ground. And me, still in the doorway, crying. All this while Ivan was passed out on the ground. "Lucia?" She was calm, and her menace barely showed. "Shouldn't you... I don't know... STOP YER CRYING AND LOOK FOR A DAMN PULSE?" There was fire almost spewing out of her mouth. She set Xavier on the table, nodded and got to work. Nah nursed Ivan shortly after he woke, while Lucia and everyone got to work. Loch cut his arm in a way that fountains of blood spirted out, and after applying a bandage, passed out. Lucia made blood transfusions out of this. Helen made bandage out of a mile of gauze and cloth and glue (all provided by Xavier's bag of wonders). Heather was our motivator. She yelled at us to work better. I assisted Lucia, who had the worst job. After removing his sweater and cutting his shirt apart, she performed a incision (*note* the slice Helen created would not be ideal to use, since Lucia riskes moving the intestine pieces as well). She carefully sewed his intestines together, and after she stitched him up, I jolted him back to life, with a bit of lightning magic. Xavier awoke after 3 minutes of being heart dead, but was far too weak to walk. Loch's blood was added to him to help with this. After Loch woke up and Xavier had on a clean shirt and his bloody, torn sweater on, we continued along the road. "How much longer until we reach our destination?" Ivan questioned. "About, 5 more days." Lucia replied. There was a collective groan from the group. Along the way, Xavier moved several blue orbs from his bag to his pocket. That was a very fast-paced 6 hours. To recap- Most of the team lodged at a half-demon's house. Ivan lost his shoulder, and I told everyone that they live to become certain people. The next morning, Xavier musiced us awake, and was stabbed by Helen, who has multiple personalities. She was able to remove seven out of her eight personalities. After that, Lucia and everyone else helped bring Xavier back. Now we head off on a journey to destroy Animus... Finally. Nah thought the time was right. "So Xavier? What did you do while we were at the hostile hostel?" Xavier devilishly smiled and removed one of the fair-sized orbs from his pockets. "Getting hundreds of these. I have 792 in the bag, and 3 in my pockets." She questioned further. "What is their purpose?" Xavier grinned, and tossed one of the dark teal orbs. With a crack, he instantly warped to that position. Without a warning he ducked, just in time to let a spear graze his haircut. He drew his knives. Lucia did the same. I grabbed a book of (*gasp*) Light Magic! Another dark horseman appeared. Lucia looked at Xavier. "It's been awhile!" Xavier assumed agility stance. "Yeah! Sure has been!" The dark horseman charged us. Xavier pitched an orb at its face. Xavier appeared, his foot out, and kicked the horseman over. Lucia stabbed the horse. The horseman retrieved his spear, and... his armor... seemed...! By God! Its armor did grow! It was now a giant, General Cat type Knight, only many times larger (okay, maybe only two times larger). It tanked towards us, Lance out. With a terrible yell, Helen landed in front of it. Her shoes caused an earthquake that knocked the knight over. I rushed in, heart thudding in my chest, and used magic to penetrate his armor and ultimately kill him. The four that hadn't done anything stood there, looking in awe at the speed we moved with. As soon as we continued, Hector fell beside me. "By the way, what kind of mage are you?" I was moderately confused. "What do you mean?" He sighed. "Are you a Necromancer or a Cleric, or a Pyromancer?" I smiled. "I'm just an overall, above average, Magus." Hector was very confused. ""Which does..." Oh. Right. He doesn't take magic. "I'm just adept at the type of mage adept at killing things." I think I melted his brain. "You'll understand once you start mage school." Hector was getting excited. "When will that be?" I thought about it. "Around 8 years ago. Or 15,995 years from now." He didn't reply. Yep. His brain is melted. I sensed something, lurking in the forest ahead... Oh well! "Hey Helen!" She called from ahead. "Yeah?" I replied. "I thought Xavier found you dead?" She sounded confuddled
"What?" Xavier jumped in. "I did! How did you return?" Loch called out. "Oh yeah! Xavier!" "Yeah?" "Remember how I found Helen's torso?" Helen sounded outraged. "WHAT? YOU FOUND MY UPPER BODY?" "WAIT!" Loch stalled. "I found the lower body to the same body. Same dress and everything. The body had on black boots, not Helen's QuakeRunners!" Xavier sounded frustrated. "YOU DIDN'T TELL ME!" Loch lowered his voice. "I kinda... forgot." Xavier shook his head. Helen was spitting mad "YOU FOUND ME DEAD AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN CHECK IF IT WAS ME?!" Loch scratched his head. "I'm sorry Helen, just, I thought for the worst." Helen did not let this go "DID YOU EVEN SEE THE FACE!" "Well... no." "THEN WHAT THE HELL!" Helen stormed along, obviously angry at being mistaken for someone else. As she stormed behind everyone, we were tumbling and stumbling along. I was floating however. Xavier still managed to walk in a straight line. Nah and Ivan were crawling. Loch and Heather were stumbling and tripping and laughing, having a good time. Hector and Lucia were hopping, and didn't fall. We reached the forest. Oh God... something is off. Xavier thought so as well, his face showed this. We entered the last forest between us and the final destination. We entered the forest. It was dead silent. It doesn't seem right. I saw the glint of an eye in the bushes... gods... that is not good. I tensed, preparing to fight the devil herself. My spellbook was open in my hands. A deadly one too. Iceaga. Crap. Two Asuras emerged from the brush In front of Xavier. Their voices were scratchy "Hail travellers! Welcome to your doom!" I looked at everyone. All supernatural killing weapons (Imperial Gold, Stygian Iron, Celestial Bronze) were drawn. Xavier looked up at it. "Look into my eyes." They seemed impressed. "You have a red eye. That is good." A red iris symbolizes some hellish creature. "What is your other eye then?" Xavier's other eye changes colors from purple to grey to green back to purple. "What do you think? I'm a Deity-Child. What do you think?" The asuras were unsure. "Who is your parent then?" Xavier sized them up. "My mother's name is Emily. That enough? No?" Xavier was starting to frighten these demons. "My dog is called Cerberus the First. My father was None other than Len. The ruler of demons. Your king." The Asuras were deadly scared of Xavier. "Now. GET THE HELL OUT OF MY FACE!" Xavier cut the first one in two and threw his sword into the other's head. He was smiling. Blood was on his face and he was breathing heavily. He is frightening like this. He wiped the blood off his face. The smile still hasn't gone... he loves blood. He poses a danger though, like this. He could sporadically have a psychotic perk and kill us all. I... I can see it... a giant Crystal. Inside however, was a large multi-tiered arena, 8 floors. One for each hero plus a penthouse. Good. The forgotten princess must be inside. The first four days passed, but Xavier was like a time bomb, ready to explode and kill us all. He is a dangerous ally, but extremely dependable in battle... as long as no blood lands on him. The fifth day he finally snapped. He just decapitated seven Asuris, and he just smiled, he turned to run at us. I was the only one able to do something. I set up a barrier, but Xavier jumped over us. He pointed his spear down, and pinned a wolf in midair to the ground. He saved us, and I thought he would kill us! Later however, he asked for raw, bloody chicken for dinner. I think he got sick. After another little while we came across the tower. There was a force field to stop anyone but the seven from passing through. As our group passed through this, we found two heroes unable to pass. "Well, Sweetheart," Nah said to Xavier, trying to hold back a sob. "This is where we part ways." She started crying. Xavier put a hand on her shoulder. "You did great, Meat-Shield. I shall see you sometime." Xavier look at her with content. Nah tried to smile but couldn't and she ran away bawling. Helen smiled, a sad kind of smile. "Nice helping you all. Even though you thought I was dead." Helen looked at Loch and winked. ""See you later handsome!" Se said in a flirtious manner and pitched a teleport orb across the forest, clearing it entirely. The last thing I saw of her was a wave. "She my future wife?" Loch asked. "Yeah, I made her immortal three nights ago." Loch sighed. "What the hell is wrong with my life." And we laughed as we entered the crystal tower.
