Chapter 14: Aftermath PT.1

"Dangit Petra." the orange eyed young lady coughed. There was blood dripping from her nose, her body felt like it was on fire, and her head felt as if it was about to explode.

Despite the fact that she may have Gerome's demon, one of the 'theoretical demons', she was still born with a weak and ill body. She used too much energy to see into the future and avoid the attacks, not to mention manipulating atoms while doing it. With repeated use, alone, that was enough for her body to give out, but she did so while using the immature 'life stone' as well. Overall she made a very dumb set of decisions.

"Still..." She thought back to Teka. She sensed a profound power dwelling within her. It was on the same level as her older sister's, Micha's former girlfriend's blessing. That meant that it was likely part of the same series.

The memory of her sister warmed Petra's heart. They used to smile together in the old days. She remembers training under Micha alongside her siblings. As one unit.

Upon remembering what her sister had done, the young woman's face dropped. Clenching her fist, she acknowledged once more that there was no excuse for what happened. Furthermore Micha deserved a full explanation, which their parents were unable to provide without argument. However Micha had no right to react the way he did.

"Ouch." Another voice ran as Petra felt a light spank on her bum. "looks like you gave a pretty hot asswhoopin'. Ma would be proud."

"I guess." Petra sighed, turning on her heel to look at the skinny boy. "What about you bro? Anyone caught your eye?"

As his dirty and minky semitranslucent hair artfully framed a single red eye opening on his forehead, he replied, "It depends on which one. No one here is really strong."

"Easy for you to say with your fifty something blessings." Petra grumbled, causing the boy to laugh and scratch his head.

"Fifty seven blessings, thank you very much." he replied teasingly, an amused glint in his orange eyes.

"Whatever." Petra groaned as her brother began healing her injuries.

"Seems like she did a number on you." He laughed slowly, bringing his glowing metallic hands up her legs covered in shallow cuts.

"I could've easily won if it wasn't for her being a coward." The woman grumbled making the male roll his eyes and scratch his arm.

"Wow! the pot is calling the caldedo blue!" He laughed, sliding his hands under her shirt after which his expression turned cold "you didn't take your medicine?"

"They make my powers weaker." She muttered,receiving a light but strong slap across her face.

"And keep you alive." he said gravely, having felt the large amount of internal bleeding and swelling "it's like you put your organs through a shredder."

"That's what I get for fighting Micha." Petra bemoaned, fearful tears falling from her eyes as the visage of Micha's enraged form echoed through her mind. "Even after three years, he still punishes me."

"Don't do that." He sighed, whipping away her tears with his metallic hands "you did what you thought was right."

"Sis and I paid with a curse." Petra whept

"Yes, after you guys decided to help master against that 'justice monster'." He sighed, hating his sister's stubbornness and guilt. "Face it, the Micha we knew is dead."

"I know." Petra nodded knowing the truth unlike her older sister, "I just wish he would come back."

"well get ready to live all the way to thirty with that being the only thing you never completed." he sighed. Knowing the monster had killed the man, the Micha they loved wasn't there anymore, and they could do nothing but put him down "Do you still think it's a smart idea to ally with Mad-eye and Drake? they are the exact people Master fights against the most?"

"And are among the few who have taken Micha down." Petra followed her mood, switching to anger like a switch. "It's better than coming alone, he must pay."

"Yeah but-" he began slightly unnerved by his sister's sudden and rapid change in personality, only surpassed by her wrathful enthusiasm for their goal.

"But nothing! He is going to reap what he sowed, even if I die in the process." Petra said with great vigor only worrying her brother further. Unfortunately, He couldn't counter as a voice echoed within their minds.

"Well, it seems like you two are doing fine." The voice was annoyed and flat, not wanting to be wherever they were.

It was shortly after that Petra and her brother Pete entered an odd structure. A structure made of many pure white bricks and pillars supported by thrones made of vivid yellow crystals adorned the hall. There were people within three of the forty eight thrones.

"What about the rest of you?" The tallest one ,who seemed to be female, said as they motioned for Petra and Pete to take their spots on the twenty-first and fifteenth thrones. "Especially you Drake, you had quite the beating.

"In pain." The deep and exhausted voice answered, it was Drake, sitting on the thirty-seventh throne and clearly very hurt. "Veronica, was too strong."

"Yeah she is one of Micha's students" Petra's brother, Pete, answered. He trained with her quite often when he learned from Micha, and later Megis, so he knows her strength. "You can't beat her easily, did her curse,do you in?"

Drake sighed, hunching over and clutching his head, saying, "I was hit by thorns.".

"Well speak for yourself." A clearly annoyed voice interrupted. It belonged to a young man sitting on the tenth throne. His multicolored eyes held immense contempt and disgust. "You weaklings rambling on about minor wounds get back in the fight, soldiers of the people."

"Oh my goodness, he's mad." the female voice gasped, shaking her head in exasperation.

While everyone turned out, the yellow haired man exclaimed, "I was expecting a challenge from this man! I tipped my head to him, but he didn't respect me at all! Oh, and he used hostages and summons! How dare he call himself a man!" he raged while everyone rolled their eyes. "With our pride and sacred honor as protectors of man, we have an image to uphold. It is a shame that this bastard of the Esperonica seeks to tarnish our exemplary reputation. I will show him what he is doing wrong. You hear me, I will...!"

"You will do nothing!" commanded the first. A strict mother's voice quieted the angry voice while making it seem to echo within the mindscape. "You would only be exposing yourself."

"She's right, Master is the kind of person who loses several battles before winning." Pete continued, "he took twelve tactical retreats against Drake before whooping his ass badly."

"I'm right here!" Drake groaned, not wanting to remember that particular defeat.

"You rush in like a crazed lunatic you will lose." Pete said ignoring Drake's comment, making sure to stress the importance of his following words "for now just stay away, less interactions the better."

"That still doesn’t fulfill the contract I made!" The voice argued,"you promised me a desert fit for a true warrior, woman."

"You will have your challenge before the year is up, I can assure you that Mr. Alex" The leading voice assured, much to Alex's annoyance "but for now we must focus on the goal, which can be started once you five get into YH."

"I know I'm in." Alex said with a calm and neutral tone that was full of confidence "I destroyed all the other dudes with a single fire rune, only me and the Esperonica were left before battle was stopped."

"We're still participating." Petra answered curtly "I just beat one of Micha's students."

"Good for you." Drake laughed sarcastically while rolling his eyes "Meanwhile, I better start looking at another academy or join the Nazars."

"Well nothing to complain about." the first shrugged "It's way easier to get into the army than become an agent."

"I guess" the young man sighed, his silver hair casting a shadow over his face.

"Well with that this meeting is over" the first nodded "Remember our goal-" Petra then felt as if a pair of eyes were beaming down on her "-And don't let your own cloud your judgment, you are all dismissed."

Like a glitching program, the world warps and distorts as Petra and Pete are dropped back into reality, with a small headache.

"Hate it when that happens!" Pete screamed, scratching his head wildly.
