Raven Cheney's Point of View
My eyes drifted on to Kiara's figure who had opened her eyes after a short rest she had from earlier.
"Are you feeling better now?" I heard Azule asking the scarlet haired girl whose eyes are confusingly darting around the ship.
"What about you? Are you okay?" I look up to see Steel looking down at my figure before taking a seat beside me.
"I don't know." I replied breaking eye contact by looking down at my feet.
In all honesty, I really don't know what to do. Its like having to return to the same situation of the war and do nothing about it.
"This time and what happened before are two different things." He stated trying to assure me.
"I'm a bit worried that I won't be able to do anything again just like the last time." I said worry and anxiety lacing on my voice.
"Steel's right." Natsuki butted in taking a seat beside me. "This and the past isn't the same?"
"How is it not the same?" I questioned begrudgingly, and yet the smile on Natsuki's face was enough assurance to his response.
"Because we lost everyone in the past. And now, we're gonna get them back."
He then grinned confidently pointing at himself. " And I'm here so you won't have to worry!" He added going back to his usual childish state.
"I'm here my ass." Steel grumbled. "You can't even ride a horse without throwing up."
"We all can't!" Natsuki snarled back. "At least my singing goes along with the rhythm."
"What was that?!" Steel growled, the two of them pausing from any sort of movements as their eyes met with each other in front of me with silence.
"Pfffft---" I instantly covered my mouth suppressing a laughter that was coming out of me. "I'm sorry I--"
I was cut off by the grinning Steel and Natsuki looking at me.
"Don't shoulder it all on your own, we're a team here."
"We're here!" Lucia shouted in the background causing the two to dash out of the ship to see the events that is happening outside.
————
"Its bigger than Sofya's." My sister trailed off with worry lacing in her voice as she scan the giant piece of lacrima.
"This is getting me all fired up!" Natsuki grinned popping his knuckles.
"Cristina can only attack it twice before our drivers completely ran out of magic energy." Archive started explaining through telepathic communication.
"We'll switch drivers then while Areol is healing them." I heard Lucia replied from the same process.
"Cristina preparing for attack."
"25%"
"50%"
"75%"
Lights suddenly appeared from underneath the ship and slight shaking came from where we are standing.
"100%"
"Prepare for impact!" Archive's shout immediately caused a panic to rush through me grabbing my sister and taking hold at the side of the ship watching as a beam of light shot straight towards the lacrima and the force pushing back the ship.
————
"If we strike it again another time, it can penetrate the lacrima." Lucia whose now recovered from the impact states as her eyes scan the effect of the attack on the barrier. "The same strike would be dangerous."
"Let me take care of this one." Azule. volunteered stepping forward.
"At least put some clothes on first." Lucia sighed.
"Its hot okay!" Complained Azule as he scan the lacrima with his usual uninterested face.
"Ice Devil Make: Hammer!" Azule chanted creating a hammer with a size similar to a tree. And yet surprisingly, the size continuesly increased till the size was as large as the lacrima and with a swinging motion from Azule, the hammer hit the lacrima creating a strong gust of wind as the impact covering the area in sand.
When the barrier disapates the shock from the bomb earlier doubled as I looked at the lacrima's barrier slowly disappearing in the air and the lacrima was already resting still on the sandy floor unscathe.
"H-how..." I stutter still shock shifting my gaze to the navy haired man whose smirking as his coat and shirt already leaving his body.
"He's a part demon and my ability is devil slaying magic. So I figured the magic and the barrier also has some compatibility. Glad it worked though." We both eyed the lacrima whose resting at the sand.
"Its finally our time!" Natsuki jumped off from the dock of the ship with Steel following behind him.
"The real plan starts now!" Lucia exclaimed the same time Natsuki and Steel turned to face the ship and roared.
Fire Dragon's Roar!
Iron Dragon's Roar!
The attack merged in mid-air, and the single attack who somehow missed the ship by just an inch and strike someone from behind who groaned from the impact.
"We'll leave Luci to you Raven!" I watch as the two was swept by their exceeds to rush straight to their opponent that they just attacked.
"How? A lacrima that big..." I trailed off, fear and anxiety slowly devouring me as I watch the giant piece of lacrima. And slowly, the image of the war flashes through my mind.
"Raven!" The sudden call cut me out of the train of negative thoughts that was bugging me, turning my head to the source of the voice, I was a bit relieved to see that it was Hiiru with my sister behind him.
"Don't worry." He assured grabbing both my shoulders and giving it a light shake. "We can do this together."
Assurance suddenly filled me when the sight of my guildmates came into view along with the image of Natsuki and Steel in my peripheral vision fighting the guy that was following us.
"Don't be afraid." Beatrice, this time stated putting a hand on mine and giving it an assuring squeeze. "We're all in this together."
"Whenever you're ready." Hiiru grinned.
"I'm ready!"
With determination, I created a small amount of my magic on my fingertip with Hiiru following in suit, both our abilities growing bigger till it became so small and merged as one.
"Unison Raid!"
We both exclaimed in sync aiming both our magic to the lacrima below.
"Holy Shadow Dragon's Flash Fang!"
The merged magic we both created shot straight through the lacrima and the sound of cracking was heard. And before light covered our entire vision, the image of Lucifer's body being released was seen.
————
"Where are the others?" I asked upon seeing some missing people around the ship, specifically my sister.
"Beatrice was sent straight to Michael's body for we check that shadow magic can be compatible with Michael's Holy one's."
"Poison is already over to Bunny's. Y'know friends and friends."
"Steel also made its way to Master Lux's."
"But the barrier---"
"Luckily they got here on time." Azule quoted cutting me off, though his response didn't help either.
"Before we head towards Mt. Hakobe, Tyrant-san already discovered that each lacrima has specific revived enemies stationed and informed Lucia quickly." Azule explained. "So, the remaining active kingdom which was Dragoria, Solaria and of course Aquaire and Enid came to aid us."
With eyes wide, I quickly rush off to the see what's going on only to find dragons from Dragoria breathing fire to the now icy Hakobe.
"And by the way, Natsuki's opponent is the revived BlueNote from the history." Lucia informed with a huge smile. "And he's already KOed right after you guys made the diversion.
"Wait."
Lucia and Azule stopped on their tracks to turn and look at me.
"What about Queen Aquaire?" Azule and Lucia looked at each other and smiled.
"Don't worry." Azule confidently stated. "She arrived right on time."
"Along with the Rulers." Lucia added.
"Who are you guys even talking about?" I asked in utter confusion. To my luck, Archive arrived to save me from the questions left unanswered.
"She arrived. Levi did."
Just then a sudden snicker was heard as a shadow loomed over my kneeling figure.
"I can't believe you guys needed my help for this." She grinned almost in a mocking way her greenish dragon like eyes matching well with her blue wavy water like hair.
"Yo!" She greeted upon realising she already got my attention . "Its been a while Raven-chan!"
