Chapter 17: Reuniting

"Pippy are you alright?"

Elizabeth finally came from around the corner, approaching Pippy who was laid out on the ground with bruises all over his body.

"Those fairies were huge, almost humanoid size… did their attacks hurt you?"

She kneeled, attempting to scoop the fairy inside her hands, however he flew upwards into the air, dusting himself off and turning away from Elizabeth.

"Hmph. Pippy is powerful! He doesn't need help from anyone!"

Liz would look up at the floating fairy, all the sudden smacking him back down with minimum force.

"Idiot!"

"Ow—!"

He flew to the ground before bouncing back up from impact, holding his head in pain with both hands.

"W-What was that for? Are you picking a fight with me??!"

The Rozenheart stood up and sighed, now crossing her arms.

"Do you not know what support is? Listen Pippy, I heard everything that happened… those fairies did something to your sister didn't they?"

Pippy jaw dropped for a second… now looking down in shame.

"Y-Yes… they did, but for a very good reason."

Elizabeth risen her brow.

"Huh? What's reasonable enough to kidnap someone?"

The small fairy slouched over, his arms dangling down. His face seemed weary and sad, feeling regret about something.

"It's because… she… well—"

Liz leaned into the fairy, raising her brow.

"Welllll? She did what?"

Pippy clenched his fist and suddenly pumped himself up, leaning his head back in determination to let out the truth.

"SHE… ASSASSINATED ONE OF THE ARENA BATTLE CONTESTANTS!"

"WHATTT??"

Pippy wiped the sweat off his forehead and sighed in relief. He held this secret in for so long… and now he could finally let it out to someone he trusted.

"I trust you Elizabeth, so please don't tell anyone! My sister Cathy assassinated one of the Arena battle contestants in order to stop them from their scheme."

Elizabeth looked behind her and in front of her to make her no one was hearing their conversation.

"Why did she do such a thing?"

Liz asked Pippy, her expression curious.

"Well… long time ago when the Event committee sent out flyers, there was over hundreds of people participating. And after some time passed, the arena battles were gonna take place in a week, therefore all participants were allowed access into Skylands with portals that summoned in their locations. They entered the portals and people cheered them on, even I was one of them."

Pippy rubbed his arm, the regret still lingering in his body.

"When they all came forth and got situated in their own respective dorms, I was ordered by Lord Ensley to hand out their meals to them, and when I did… I walked into one of the contestants room from knocking after minutes on end. When I entered the room, I could see multiple pictures hung on the wall with fairy faces in them. I was confused, but I looked around and eventually read his journal of secrets."

Elizabeth placed her hand onto her chin. The flashback Pippy had was vivid and rememberable to him.

"Picture of fairies…? Huh that's weird."

"I said the same thing! But eventually I found out why; when I read the journal I could see he was planning to kill every fairy… and sell their bodies in the Black market, a place where group of bandits and criminals sell body parts and entire humans for profit. I panicked and quickly left the room, taking the food with me. I eventually told my sister of the incident, scared If I told anyone else, they'll snitch and spread rumors, which will make that guy kill me to prevent the truth."

Pippy facepalmed himself.

"I was dumb… I should've told Lord Ensley… but when my sister heard of it, the next day she disappeared out of nowhere, killing the guy I told her about, with her magic. She was caught in the act and kidnapped by someone I didn't know even existed. They came to my house and left a note by the door, requesting 70 gold coins for killing the one they betted on."

Elizabeth finally got the gist of the entire situation.

"I see now! The guys who kidnapped your sister were a group of fairies who voted on this lunatic with their coins! That makes a lot of sense… and to be honest, he got what he deserved! Your sister is in the right here, Pippy!"

Pippy suddenly crossed his arms, hesitantly laughing to himself.

"Ha…Ha ha! Yeah that's right! I am always right! Pippy never gets anything wrong!"

Elizabeth would walk up to the fairy, rubbing his head with her finger.

"I bet you can easily beat up those bad guys, but chose not to from them having your sister in some secret place. You're very strong Pippy!"

The Fairy suddenly blushed, and for the first time in his life he felt flustered by an actual human being.

"Um… r-right— RIGHT! You're right Elizabeth! 

Pippy suddenly flew down the corridor and made a right back to the arena.

"We can deal with this later, I already have a plan in order to save my sister! Right now we can check out what's happening down at the Arena!"

Elizabeth smiled at Pippy's change of emotion.

"I'm right behind you Pippy. But first we need to get Grimhild to heal up your wounds, or Kyto."

The fairy blinked multiple times, feeling welcomed. 

"I…guess so, yeah. Pippy feels very blessed."

The fairy opened the doors despite his size, now fluttering out the arena, and noticing something that took him and Elizabeth both by surprise.

"Is that…" (Elizabeth)

"The Giant…?" (Pippy)

They gazed in the sky and noticed a shadow hover over their bodies. The Giant Estrilda had been launched into the air, with an unknown figure right underneath her, slamming their fist into her stomach.

"MY GOODNESS! HE REALLY IS THE MARTIAL ARTS KING! THE ONE KNOWN TO TRAVEL MIDGARD AND GAIN DISCIPLES, TEACHING THEM THE FLOWING WATER RUSH! THIS IS HIM FOLKS, ONE OF THE FIVE HEROES, IZUMI RYUU!"

Elizabeth had suddenly became stagnated. Her body felt as if it had paused at the last second of hearing this fighters name… She had even expressed an emotion rarely shown on her, with tears going down her eyes. Not worry but actual tears, as if she looked at a very important figure in her life

"My… Sensei… he's alive?"

Pippy looked back at Elizabeth hastily.

"SENSEI? THAT GUY IS YOUR SENSEI?"

Pippy asked while pointing up into the sky.

"Yes. But I thought he died… how is he alive?"

"Wait huh?"

*KABOOM*

The arena shook from a small earthquake while everyone trembled back and forth on their feet. The sound of a large rumble was heard, and in the arena laid the giant half-unconscious with her long-axe laying next to her side.

"You fight well giant. I am impressed by your movement and speed, despite your height. However you lack resolve in finding your opponents weakness."

The one who spoke to the giant was none other than Izumi Ryuu, a martial arts master and one of the five heroes of Yggdrasil. His reason for being here was unknown however.

"You have a lot of guts to talk down on me… you tiny man… just because you have the strength and speed doesn't mean you have what it takes to beat me! If you wanna win, then you'll have to kill me!"

Izumi sighed to himself, holding his arm forward, and moving his forearm vertically, having it act like a spear.

"I have trained and mastered many martial arts. I have honed my skills for decades and gained many disciples, thus I know what potential is when I see someone. That is for any teacher, especially one such as me. You have potential Giant, and you have the attitude of not giving up, I respect that."

Izumi would now vibrate his arm, moving it at rapid speeds in the process.

"I will show you the Style of matter. It is martial arts involved around the manipulation of matter and molecules. It is one of my favorites for finishing off opponents, thus I will use it in order to defeat you with my best technique, Estrilda."

The Martial artist would have his arm move at such speeds that it created several afterimage's simultaneously.

"HOOAAAAAA!!!"

He released a battle-cry of victory when utilizing the Style of matter. By vibrating his molecules at the same frequency as air, the Martial artist could physically phase through solid objects and even solid magical spells. His fist jabbing forward would suddenly stop right at the Giant's forehead. Estrilda closed her eyes and accepted defeat, however the sudden halt would have her confused.

"…?"

The giant slowly reopened her eyes to see a vibrating arm in front of her, and Izumi staring off to the side at someone?

"Huh?"

Pippy said, while looking at both Elizabeth and Izumi who stared each other down with menacing glares.

"Elizabeth…?"

Izumi questioned her sudden appearance, preventing him from ending the battle.
