Chapter 21: Dealing with the Repercussions

After me and Silvia walk down the hall the other girls stared and some were even whispering behind our backs. All Silvia had to do was turn her head and they were runnin the other way. I decided to look the other girls in the face and make out with Silvia right then and there.

"Wanna hold hands beautiful? They look oh so small and cold. Here lemme warm em up." Silvia said kneeling to one knee and kissing my hand. "Silviaaaa..stop your embarrassing meeee. But..ok go ahead and hold my hand. When your not bullying kids. Your very sweet." I said kissing her. She gets off her knee and hugs me. We keep walking down the hall and make our way to the Headmistress' office. Her assistant escorts us in to the waiting room. "And thus..the wait begins..sigh. Well might as well play some games on my phone." I said already feeling bored.

I also realized I could do this thing called image training. I happened to look it up a few weeks ago. So I decided to get into my mental zone. "What are you doing short stuff? You can't sleep right now." Silvia said poking my cheek. She has this thing were she sees something pudgy or soft she just has to poke it. "Mmm..Silvia. Im trying to do image training. Ya know perfect this stupid Aether form. I figured if were gonna be here for a while might as well get a heads up ya know?" I told her.

The white haired girl seemed very confused and looked for the Headmistress' assistant. She might've went on a lunch break or informed the Headmistress about our arrival. Silvia just looked back and forward then towards me with a lewd smile. She kissed my cheeks and unbuttoned my shirt and slipped her hands under it groping my boobs. I blushed pretending to be embarrassed. But..I really enjoyed it. "H..here!? What if we get caught? Hehe..it tickles a little.mmm" I silently moaned and whispered. Silvia noticed a shadow walking towards the door and swiftly buttoned my shirt back up and put her hands on her lap. She looked towards me with a smile. The Headmistress walked through and asked for us to see her in her office. I wondered what our consequence would be. Hopefully nothing too bad like helping the lunchlady dish out food. Eugh.

"Ladies please take your seat. Thank you Margaret. I'll see you tomorrow be safe out there. Fafir's top scout are on the move. Now on to you two. I noticed Silvia you get into trouble quite a bit and Luna in the past you were no different. But matured along the way. Now. You two were not present to classes today. Care to explain why?" She asked crossing her legs. She seemed very calm but i couldn't really get a read on her eyes. She was the type to wear sunglasses inside.

Silvia explained to her that we we're sick and we had to stay in bed. She also lied about us being in the basement. The Headmistress than looked at me dismissing Silvia's story. I nonchalantly agreed with Silvia and giggled. The Headmistress stared at me for a few seconds. It seemed like a few years. I could feel her staring a laser into my head. I have no idea what she's thinking but I'm getting weirded out.

"Ahem. Luna. Your getting better control of that form. I feel it from here. There's this mild heat surging from you. Than a sudden cold burst. I also called you here to report news of some friends of yours. The Brigads of Dalistad. Recently...they were attacked and some were taken captive by Fafir's Monsters. This one peculiar monster was pale white with three blunt matching spikes on its back. A red club like tail and yellowish jagged teeth. They call him Ghost Wound. It was reported to me that this creature is Fafir's top Monster and possible leader of the other Monster-Knights. That being said Vu Rachel has been restored to full health and believe me she'll be looking for you with a vengeance." The Headmistress said taking a file from her filling cabinet and slapped it on the table. I couldn't believe what I heard.

"Is there any way I can save my family? My Brigads? Are they far?" I asked worried. The Headmistress assured me they are fine and possibly escaped. "Luna. Lets be honest. Its dangerous out there. Even for you. I mean heck. You could get kidnapped and have that power sapped from you. The only reason I told you this is because I want it to motivate you.

Make smart choices and not end up in that fiend's hands. Fafir is gonna pay. He's effected millions of lives and even his monsters are feeling it. I fear one day. You and him will have to battle. Not just for Neo Kind and humanity but our whole universe." The Headmistress said. Silvia folded her arms and silently listen. She then looked at me and smiled. "Time to stop holding back mighty Aether. You gotta job to do.

Wanna go rescue ya friends?" She asked. The Headmistress shouted at Silvia and I laughed. I contemplated the scenario and no ending seems good. "Being in this school right now is detrimental. For Luna and all the girls. Its risky cause Fafir's Scouts are known to lurk at our school grounds. They seek to corrupt and even kill those who go against Fafir. So far our force fields have kept them at bay. Any one foolish enough to leave from the front gates, better be ready for a fight." The Headmistress said jolting out of her leather seat.

She assigned us to clean all the stairs and classrooms on the third and second floor. We moaned in dissatisfaction and reluctantly carried sponges,buckets and mops with some soap. We began a long and boring process of cleaning. Once we finished it was seven pm. The Headmistress congratulated us and sent us on our way. I couldn't help but hear shouting outside.

"WHERE OH WHERE COULD SHE BE HUH? SHE CAN'T HIDE FROM GHOST WOUND FOREVER. COME ON OUTTA 'ERE YA WITTLE 'URPLE FREAK. I WANNA FOIGHT!!" An weird yet very bad Aussie accent spoke. That or it was the worst I've ever heard. I giggled to myself and looked out the nearest window. The Headmistress wasn't wrong. This Ghost Wound fellow was a big boy. Chunky. His belly protruded it nearly hit the ground. He wore some armour over his chest and tail. I honestly thought he was adorable. Until he showed his yellow dirty teeth. He unsheathed his greatsword and sliced at the force field breaking it with ease. "Holy shit!!. Uh..The Head..Luna she's gone. What do we do?" Silvia asked. I saw Azou run towards us and swooped both of us off our feet. "That damned fool. She may get herself killed. Don't worry the force field fixes itself. But I came to see if you were ok. Stay here in the dorm. The Headmistress hopefully will be ok. She said looking worried.

From my dorm window. Things did not look so good. The Headmistress was already covered in dirt and her clothes were torn. Blood was on the ground also. She was getting her ass handed to her. The big monster grabbed her by her head and smashed it into the dirt. At the moment. I think he saw me and taunted me to come fight him. Azou immediately told me not to. "ABSOLUTELY NOT!! YOUR HERE TO GET BETTER WITH THAT FORM. NOT FOCUS ON FODDER LIKE THAT. I'll fight him. Silvia keep her here. If she gets by you result to your bullying tactics. Got it?" Azou asked. Silvia hugged me tight and nodded her head.

"I have to do this. For you and for the Ojoo Race. Our race was gonna be extinct. Fafir ordered his men and women to kill them indiscriminately. That pale fuck..He's gonna pay. This I swear." Azou said balling up her fist. She kissed my forehead and teleported outside. I wished her good luck.

"HEY..ASSHOLE. YOU BETTER PRAY TO YOUR GOD. CAUSE WHEN I'M DONE YOU'LL BE SEEING HIM IN PERSON!!" Azou shouted. I never seen her so angry and yet so calm. Its scary. A small crater form at her feet. The large monster looked at Azou. The two seemed to be talking but I couldn't hear a dam thing. "Ahh. If not Luna that I seek. Her miserable cowardly sister. Azou..Long time no see. I remembered when I devoured your fellow Ojoo-kin's souls. How nice of you to make things easier for me." Said the beast. I saw Azou stand there. In a instant. The beast was kicked off its large feet and sent flying across the ground. The monster used one large swipe of his greatsword wiping out part of his minions. Azou dodged and knocked him off his feet again. This time following with a tentacle grab. She wrapped them around the monster's spikes ripping it clean off his back causing the beast to howl in pain. It was so loud my dorm window shattered. The other girls in the school panicked and now. The monster definitely saw me. He smiled evily and picked Azou up by her hair and slammed her hard to the ground.

"Luna..don't..Im sure she'll be ok. Don't let that monster get to you." Silvia said.

Chelsea just came in and took me and Silvia to a lower wing were some of the girls were hiding in a dark room. Most of them cried for me to help Azou. But I wanted Azou to beat that monster on her own. "You must save your sister." One girl said. "Please. Shes getting pummeled out there. And some of that weirdos' minions are trying to break in. If we don't find a way to combat them than were doomed." Another girl said panicking. Silvia and Chelsea along with my other friends calmed them down. I meditated and wondered exactly. What was the plan here.

" Mmm..Dammit. The Headmistress is in the ground. Azou is getting tossed around and now some of those minions may have broken in through my dorm window. Mm..Aether. What do I do?" I asked. While in the black void. The blue figured appeared again with a warm hug. "Im so happy you returned. Right now you've only just unlocked our power. But that is all you need for now, however there are two more forms before true mastery. The second if you have not notice is the breaking of this current form and the beginning of the ultimate form." She said confusing me. "Wanna explain that in simple terms Aeth?" I asked.

She giggled and showed me a picture of the three forms. well the first two actually. "Currently the first form. The one we obtained. Is green. The next is the breaking and beginning of the ultimate form. Notice the green breaks off from the left and right corners of the forehead. As for the ultimate. Well..It will be blue..and some other surprises. Hehe." She laughed and as for the plan. She simply said protect the innocent and come to my sisters aid. I opened my eyes and see that indeed some minions of Ghost Wound broke in. The front door to the school has been ripped from the hinges and Azou is no where to be found. I instantly rushed off to find her. But to no avail. "Luna!" Silvia yelled
