Kingdom Hearts: Saving Life in Another World

Chapter 17: Things going south

Subaru repeated the same loop of events up until the suggestion of getting the other knights, since he feels like they need a larger army to deal with the threat that is Petelgeuse. Waraki understanding how Subaru feels, vouches that they get Reinhard since he would possibly be the one to take down the Witch cult without a problem yet Yabuto intercepted this idea by stating that the sword saint is off on some other duties.

"Darn, I guess we could convince the other camps to assist us."

"Doubt the Priscilla camp would help and Anastasia camp would be tough to recruit since they are known for being scummy."

"Hmm, then why don't we try this. Waraki can have some knights join us in this while Yabuto and Kishida can inform Crusch-sama that Rem and I had gone to deal with something for the knights."

"Hmm that might work, newbie, but are you sure you want to go right now? You won't have all your stuff with you."

"Positive." Subaru spoke with confidence, knowing that they can't afford to waste any seconds. Waraki, Yabuto, and Kishida noticed this and nodded at the boy, trusting his judgement before they all started to go with the plan. Waraki took Subaru and Rem to the Guard station to get some knights while Yabuto and Kishida headed towards Crusch's place to inform her of Subaru's mission. While Subaru, Rem, and Waraki all three headed towards the Guard Station, Subaru began small talk,

"How do you know so much of the witch cult?"

"Those bastards destroyed my village many years ago and left nobody alive. I was returning back from picking out fruits for my family only to find my home in ruins. Nobody survived...I sworn I would never allow anything like this to happen to anybody else ever again."

"That's very tough. I'm sorry."

"Don't worry about it, Subaru. If I can avenge my family, then it is fine by me."

Subaru looked at Waraki's eyes and saw that the two had the same eyes of determination against the witch cult. The three entered the Guard Station where Waraki gathered knights who were not going to fight the White Whale. Surprising Subaru, Waraki on his own gathered the same knights from the previous loop.

This made him more determined to get this loop right since he doesn't want any of them to die. Without a moment of rest, Subaru and his group began to make their way towards the Mathers territory, confident that they would reach the area hours before the previous loop. During the road, Subaru was approached by Waraki who wanted to ask him how he knew the witch cult, something that never happened in his previous loops.

"I know them because they attacked a village I knew. They burned everybody and left no survivors...they even killed the children..."

Waraki looked at Subaru and could see the pain in his eyes when he was speaking about the Witch Cult, knowing that same feeling himself.

"Don't worry Subaru, we will make them pay."

"Of course we will!" Subaru nodded with confidence, gaining the trust of Waraki as he wanted to avenge his village from the massacre created of the witch cult. They all continued on as normal with the exception that Yabuto and Kishida were not present with them, making Subaru slightly worried that they are in a bit of a disadvantage but still confident enough that they can beat the witch cult and Petelgeuse.

As night time hits on the land, Subaru looks around and notices that his previous loops he never got a chance to admire the area. This prompted Rem and Waraki to join him in viewing the large tree that is called the Flugel tree.

"Flugel tree?"

"A huge tree that stands so tall in the Lifaus Highway, it seems to pierce the clouds. Legend has it that, centuries ago, a wise man named Flugel planted it."
