Eternal Templars: Acht

A day passed and Zain and his group made it to a kingdom and saw a man with a horse. The horse had dark aura calmly emerging from it and Zain stopped. The man looked at Zain and his group. He was accompanied by another male character who black hair and grey eyes.

"Are you two a part of the Holy Order?" Zain asked.

"No. We are Templars like Kielazar..I see you have him with you." The man said.

"What are your names then?" Zain asked.

"I am Eins. I am known as the Ice Wolf of the Eternal Templars. Kielazar was first Templar to ever exist. Our leader is named Sol...We have been in constant war with Zephyr for a long time..and now we plan to take action. Our team has been captured by Holy Order members..one of them is Sol's partner, Number Eight." Eins said.

"Number Eight..?" Kanon asked.

"She has no birth name, we called her Acht, German for the number Eight." Eins said.

"We should help them." Kielazar said.

"We can trust them?" Julia asked. "What if they backstab us?"

"They won't." Kielazar said and got off his horse. "Zain..these guys are all I have left of my past. Let's help them get their members back. They can prove to be great allies."

Zain looked at him then closed his eyes and got off his horse. He walked towards them and opened his eyes. They watched him.

"We'll help. We have a common enemy after all.." Zain said.

"I am grateful for your kindness. Acht is in the castle, we can't damage these people because one of them has an ancient relic that nullifies all damage that isn't a certain element." Eins said.

"The element we need is Thunder. It is a water mage we are dealing with." Sol said.

"Water mage huh.." Zain thought.

"I can help! I am a Thunder user!" Elulu ran up. "I made this Lunar Arm called Thuderium Mallet! It has an AoE effect, Area of Effect, and Ability Cancellation mechanism."

"A Tinkerer?" Sol asked.

"Yeah, she's not the best at Lunar Arms though..it breaks after a certain amount of uses.." Zain said.

"Then we better make the most out of it." Eins said.

Everyone ran towards the castle and split up. Kielazar and Sol teamed up to take down the Holy Order members who guarded the East Gate leading towards the castle. Kanon and Elulu headed off to take care of the mage who has Divine Protection Ability. Zain jumped up and ran on the top of the buildings and summoned his sword, Dark Excalibur. Everyone else took care of the access members of the Holy Order.

"Queen Aksha! We are taking heavy damage! Requesting reinforcements!" A knight called out.

Queen Aksha sighed and summoned more knights to the battlefield. Acht sat there in a cell and her stomach growled. She looked up and heard booming outside and a guard crashing through the door.

"I have sights on the main guard." Zain said in his communication gear.

"Okay, brother! We are handling the mage now!" Kanon answered.

"Let's test this baby out!" Elulu said and twisted the handle and lightning surged around her body. Her blue eyes shined brightly. "Fully Charged! Now I'll show you how hard my hammer hits! Astra Shock!"

Elulu yelled and swung her hammer, hitting the Mage then a loud boom sounded then an explosion happened, blowing all the enemies in the vicinity away. Elulu had her eyes closed and the hammer shattered into a million particles. Kanon squealed and dropped to the ground.

"Kanon are you alright?!" Zain asked.

"Y-Yeah, just Elulu...being Elulu..!" Kanon's voice was shaky. "The mage is taken care of..!"

"Good..." Zain said and signalled for Sol and Kielazar to enter the cell room.

Sol and Kielazar dashed into the cell room and battled the guards. Acht stood up and grabbed the bars of the cell. Sol noticed Acht and saw she had markings on her body. He grunted and his heart thumped. His eyes glowed red and his tome opened then magic circles surrounded the guards. Kielazar noticed and dashed out the area. Red aura surged from Sol's eyes.

"Transcended Atmosphere.." Sol said and a huge dark explosion happened destroying most of the room and killing the gaurds trapped in the magic circles.

Kielazar was surprised as he was on the ground and looked at Sol. He had forgotten how strong Sol was. Sol was the leader of the Eternal Templars for a reason even though Kielazar was the first. Sol walked to the cell and touched the bars and the door fell forward. Acht looked at Sol and blushed.

"Acht, are you hurt..?" Sol asked.

"No, I'm fine." Acht said.

"Fine? You have markings all over your body.." Kielazar said.

"I'm fine Original Templar." Acht said.

"Don't call me that.." Kielazar said and noticed Zain was gone. "He must be at the throne room."

"Where are the other Templars?" Acht asked.

"Scattered...We are gonna save them all.." Sol said. "The Holy Order will pay for this...I will destroy them all.."

"We have to find Acht's weapon. For now use this." Kielazar summoned a second sword and handed it to Acht.

"A rapier..This is Gabriela's sword...what happened to her?" Acht asked.

"I'll explain it all soon. Let's leave this place." Kielazar walked off.

Sol and Acht followed. Acht stuck close to Sol.

"The gig is over Queen Aksha." Zain said as he walked through the doors of the throne room.

"Zain.." Queen Aksha looked at him.

"There is no reason for you to resist death!" Zain appeared in front of Aksha and stabbed her chest and glared.

Zain growled and red aura surged wildly from his eye, driving hs sword deeper in her chest. Aksha groaned more as Zain kept driving his sword through her chest. Lloyd touched his shoulder and Zain stopped then the aura on his eye vanished.

"There's no need for overkill.. she's already dead.." Lloyd said.

Zain didn't think death was enough for Aksha as she was one of the people who helped plan the downfall for Lunia. He closed his eyes and took his sword out of her body and watched her body fall down the stairs.

"How many members of the Templar are there?" Zain asked.

"Twelve..adding Kielazar who is known as the Original Templar or Dreizehn. Legend has it if Kielazar dies, the Templars will lose their power." Lloyd said. "The Eternal Templars only want one thing, to save their home."

"Their home..?" Zain looked at Lloyd.

"A distant land called Lost Astra. They all came from there mainly because the Seven Kings of Arcania waged war against them for their resources..Killing Zephyr and the Emperor will save their land from total annihilation.." Lloyd walked down the stairs.

"The Empire is planning to annihilate Lost Astra..?" Zain looked down.

Kielazar, Sol, and Acht made it to the treasure room and found Acht's weapon. Acht equipment her gauntlet, eye patch, and her sword. She handed back Kielazar's sword and it vanished.

"Kielazar are you planning to come back to Lost Astra?" Sol asked.

"I don't know..Most likely not.." Kielazar said.

"Why?" Sol asked.

Kielazar thought of Victoria. She is the first woman Kielazar has ever fallen in love with and he didn't want to separate from her. He was silent for a second then went to answer his question.

"There's just things I want to continue doing here...I was basically dragged here as a child and I guess this has been my home ever since. There are still places to explore here..new techniques to learn...New emotions to uncover." Kielazar said.

"I understand...at least come to visit...you are the leader of Lost Astra." Sol said then walked out the room and Acht followed.

Kielazar looked back and closed his eyes. He followed afterwards and they all met up with the group. Eins and the others saw Kielazar and the others.

"Our next stop after Fort Ghetis is the Kingdom of Uphelia. Once we make it there we shall wait for Stella to arrive." Zain said.

"Alright." Everyone said.

"That kingdom holds the most Commanders and possibly the most captured Templars..it won't be a walk in a part since they all hold Ancient Arms.. although they don't have Divine Protection, they do hold unnatural power. We shall be as ready as possible." Zain said.

"Right!" Everyone said.

Meanwhile at Kingdom of Uphelia...

"This girl...She k-killed...General Dolf..." A guard said in fear.

The girl sat in the hilt of her gigantic blade and blood dripped off her cheek and hands. The general's body was cut in half and she looked at the Holy Order members. She was Number Six, Sechs. She was a bloodthirsty Templar. Another girl snarled and ran up behind the gaurds and bit their necks killing them one by one. She was the Eternal Templars Number Two, Zwei. Haido walked up and summoned his sword and glared.

"I guess it's time to test my new abilities..." Haido said and his eyes glowed.

Sechs and Zwei looked at Haido and got ready for battle. Lisseth stood on the sidelines recording his data and seeing where she has to improve. They were making Haido into a False Templar.
