Chapter 108-Luciano

"Was that the right call?" I ask Carbon.

Currently, it's the day after we defeated the Anti-Noah Association, which was reformed into the Team Noah Support Association.

"Meh," Carbon shrugs, "My dad's his own man, he can handle himself."

"Still though, that seems dangerous," Old-Man F adds, "Locating Fire Chargers all across the Land of Fire to warn them about Prometheus' plans is no easy task."

"So Tungsten and Zippy are taking the Land of Fire, Cloud's taking the Land of Earth, and the Assassin Trio are taking the Land of Wind," Ana continues, "We're BOUND to get some allies, at this rate!"

"That just leaves the Land of Water…" Khione sighs, "I wish they sent someone there…"

"Don't worry," I smile, "I trust Tungsten."

"Hey, guys!" Carbon snaps, and we all turn to face Carbon, who's standing at the edge of a hill, with my map in his hands.

I jog over to Carbon, who's frantically looking back and forth between the map in his hands and the scenery in front of him: a town.

"We're here!" Carbon exclaims.

"So you were really WERE lost all this time?" I then laugh as I slap Carbon on the back.

"Shaddup…" Carbon grumbles as he shoves the map into my hands, then turns around and storms away.

"Where are you going?" I ask as I turn to face Carbon

"I fuffiled my end of the deal," Carbon answers as he peers over his shoulder at me, "And now it's time for YOU to keep up your end of the deal. I'm gonna go train…and within thirteen days you BETTER know how to Infinity Charge."

"We made a deal," I smirk.

Carbon smirks back, then turns around and walks away for good.

"What do you say, team?" I ask as I turn back to face my friends, "How'd you say we go meet the Light Charger?"

"RIGHT!"

The six of us make our way down the hill then begin to head into town, and once we head through the front gates, we notice a tall man, standing at a solid five foot eleven, with long, platinum blonde hair and golden eyes. He's wearing some super fancy suit and sunglasses that look like it was perfectly tailored just for him. Surrounding him, is a cheering crowd, as well as strange contraptions flashing bright white lights, as he strikes various poses.

"Um…what are those?" I ask.

"Cameras, I believe," Old-Man F answers, "It's how our pictures were taken in the newspaper."

"And who is that?" Gaia asks as he grabs a passerby by their shirt collar, causing them to yelp.

`-that's Luciano Beam, the number one model famous throughout the Land of Fire!" The passerby whimpers, "I'm surprised you don't know about him!"

"Thanks," Gaia grunts as he lets go of the passerby, who promptly scrambles away.

"That's him, isn't it?" I ask.

"Golden hair…golden eyes…surrounded by lights…that's a Light Charger, if I've ever seen one," Old-Man F answers, as the six of us stroll up to the cheering crowd.

"Darn, how are we supposed to get close?!" I cry.

"Want me to freeze 'em?" Khione asks as she holds a hand up, and icy-blue sparks of energy begin to swirl around it.

"No," I answer as I lower Khione's hand, who sulks in response.

"We need to worm our way to the front of the pack…" Gaia answers as he places a hand to his chin, "But…we're all too big to do so…"

As if on cue, the five of us turn to face Mary, who gulps.

…

"Ah…excuse me, pardon me," Mary yelps as she worms her way through the crowd.

"Keep going, Mary!" Ana cheers.

Eventually, Mary makes her way to the front of the crowd, where she faces Luciano, who's still busy striking poses for the camera.

"Um…excuse me…" Mary softly asks, but she's quiet, like a mouse, and Luciano can't hear her.

"Excuse me…?" Mary asks again, more assertive this time, but even still, Mary's pleas are drowned out by the roaring crowd.

Mary takes a deep breath in…then out.

"EXCUSE MEEEEE!!!!!!!!!"

The entire crowd goes silent, then turns and faces Mary. Slowly…the crowd begins to back away.

Mary yelps in embarrassment.

"HOW DARE YOU INTERRUPT MY-" Luciano begins to boom as he lowers his sunglasses at Mary, but when he notices her, he pauses.

"Dios mios."

Mary fidgets in nervousness.

"Sorprendente young one, you're an E-Charger, aren't you?"

Mary flinches.

"H-how did you know…?"

"The hair and eyes, honey," Luciano answers as he twirls Mary black hair and irs blood-red streaks, "If you don't want people to recognize you as an E-Charger, you should dye your hair. With your complexion, I'd recommend a neutral brown."

Mary blushes.

"Mary! Mary!" I exclaim as I rush over to the girl, "Good job."

I then pause when I'm standing in front of Luciano, and peer up at him, as Luciano stares down at me.

"Luciano Beam…?" I softly ask.

"Well I'm not surprised you know who I am-" Lucioano smirks, "But you are?"

"Um…my name is Noah, the Water Charger," I answer with a confident scowl, "My friends and I came here to find you, so that you can teach us how to E-Charger so we can DEFEAT Prometheus for good."

"Hmm…" Luciano mutters as he narrows his eyes at Ana and Gaia, "And you two darlings…are the Wind and Earth Chargers?"

The two nod.

"Though someone as famous as me has quite the schedule-" Luciano says as he flips his golden locks, "-I can squeeze in some time to teach you."

"Another weirdo…" Gaia sighs.

"Oh, great, I-" I pause, "Wait…really?"

"Why are you surprised?"

"I just…no one has EVER said yes to me right off the bat," I chuckle as I rub the back of my neck.

"Well…Prometheus is a threat, so it would be good to take care of him immediately."

My eyes widen. "You…already know about Prometheus?"

"Che diavolo, how couldn't I? I've been aware of Prometheus as well as my fate as the Light Charger since birth. I've been trying to find you three, however…my adoring fans just won't leave me alone."

Luciano turns and winks at the crowd, which goes wild.

"That makes things easy!" I exclaim.

"So…when did you four meet?" Luciano asks.

"Um…five days ago, I believe."

"DIOS MIO! We only have seven days to train, we better get started!"

"Um…so when do we begin our training?"

"You must be kidding," Luciano smirks, "We will begin RIGHT NOW. Come, let's go to my place. You should be honored that I'm inviting you over."
