Re:Zero The Fall Of The Four Demon Gods

Test and Knowledge pt2

Subaru: Wh-what d-did you just say?
Yoshiro: Your ability to return from death is very interesting. It's caught the attention of My Lord Genesis.
Subaru: (how does he know about my return from death?)
Subaru stands up nervous and sweating from the situation.
Subaru: (Impossible impossible IMPOSSIBLE!!!)*angrily points* THERES NO WAY IN HELL YOU KNOW ABOUT MY RETURN FROM DEATH!!! *gasp* (Oh no I-) Huh?
Yoshiro: Surprised? Your ability is turned off here in the rift. This sword is very powerful indeed. Limbo is the name of the blade. One of the Seven Demon swords capable of bringing the end to worlds.
Subaru: h-h-how? Th-that's not-
Yoshiro: Yet here we are. I own two of the seven. Kajah holds one yes? A Demon sword that was infused with light from his mother. Thus changing its name and power entirely. I'm very impressed by that to.
He gets up and walks past Subaru to pour himself a cup of water.
Yoshiro: This world is full of strange mysterious things. My world is the same. We both come from different worlds yet we are here talking face to face.
Subaru:...what do you want?
Yoshiro: it's not what I want, it's what Lord Genesis wants. That's something I cannot tell you. The time is not right.
Subaru: What? WHAT DO YOU MEAN?! YOU CAME HERE AND ATTACKED US! I SHOULD KNOW WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON?!
Yoshiro: I will tell you this.
Subaru: Huh?
Yoshiro: I was sent to help keep you safe on your way back after defeating that Whale. It was only one of three beasts created by the witch of Gluttony.
Subaru: Huh?
Yoshiro: Right you know nothing about that. Subaru.
Subaru sits down and relaxes himself.
Yoshiro: Lord Genesis was trying to fix time where Kajah doesn't die as a child.
Subaru: what???
Yoshiro: Several attempts where made however, each on failed. Then the was a break in time.
Subaru: you mean...
Yoshiro: Your ability made a very small window in time for this world and Genesis took the opportunity that caused Kajah to survive and live on to become what he is today. 
Subaru: So then...
Yoshiro: Correct. Genesis was the one that told me to guard you and anyone close to you.  I've been doing this for some time actually.
Subaru: But...why? You said it was for me to meet Kajah. What does he want with Kajah?
Yoshiro: Because I don't trust the clown I'll tell you something. Kajah's power is very unique. I'm sure you know this.
Subaru: ...
Yoshiro: He's a Demon God working as a Knight. He has finally awakened that power as Genesis was hopping he would. Everything has been going to his plans. The only thing that he wasn't expecting was for him to give you some of his blood.
Subaru: does that mean...
Yoshiro: Yes Subaru, you have the blood of a new god in you. Not just some Demon lord. Oh definitely not that. You have Demon god's blood in your body.
Subaru:..(Demon god blood..)
Yoshiro: Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if you two gain enough experience to be me after facing the others first. Perhaps that why I'm alive. Who knows to knows.
Subaru: So am I-
Yoshiro: Absolutely not.
Subaru: But-
Yoshiro: Yes you have the blood in you. However you can only go so far with your new abilities. Why you might ask? It's simple, Kajah has unlimited mana when he's in his Demon god state.
Subaru: unlimited?
Yoshiro: Everyone that lives have some source of mana or energy. Kajah in the other hand does not.
Subaru: How do you know this?
Yoshiro: I could tell them I first fought him. His mans levels are above average. Not only that but, he has more mana than everyone here combined.
Subaru: what?
Yoshiro: He can fight for years on end. Unlike Genesis who's mans is limited.
Subaru: limited?
Yoshiro: oops looks like I said too much oh well. I want you to continue getting stronger Subaru. Because you will definitely need to for what's going to happen after five days are over.
Subaru: what will happen in five days?
Yoshiro: How quickly you all forget. You all will be attacked by the demon god known as Nowell. I wanted you all to have a fighting chance so Lord Genesis gave me the ok to let you all have 10 days to train.
Subaru: I-I see.
Yoshiro: worry not, they aren't as powerful as I am. They will still be formidable for all of you however.
Subaru: Right...
Yoshiro: well I'm done here.
As he was about to release the spell in the room Subaru stops him.
Subaru: Wait I have a question.
Yoshiro: hm?
Subaru: You said that you are not like how you use to be. Have you tried to defeat Genesis yourself with this new power?
Yoshiro: indeed I have.
Subaru: Huh?
Yoshiro: yes I'm answering this without hesitation. I have tried multiple times in the past. However he knew I was going to try and kill him in his current state. I have a mark on my chest that he now can use to kill me and bring me back to life as a mindless puppet. That's if I try betraying him again.
Subaru: So then what if-
Yoshiro: not possible as he will know I'm trying to get it removed. You know Subaru...you remind me of how I was when I was your age. Ambitious,selfish, and will do anything to keep everyone safe. No matter how long it takes. Even if the odds are stacked against you.
Subaru: I-
Yoshiro: But there is no saving me. I appreciate the idea.
Subaru:...
Yoshiro: Time to go.
He releases the spell and tells him to get Kajah.
Kajah: I'm next Huh...
Subaru: yah...
Kajah: Everything ok?
Subaru: heh yah just a lot to take in yah know?
Kajah: Yah you where in there for some time. ALRIGHT HERE I GO!
Rem: Kajah.
Kajah: Huh? Yah?
Rem: please be carful.
Kajah: *thumbs up* I'll be ok.
Everyone sits there quietly and nervous as he walks away into the room.
Alex: Well...how was it?
Emilia: Yes I'm very curious about how it all went.
Everyone nodes in agreement.
Subaru: well...it was definitely interesting. (Can't tell them everything about what happened in there.) hm wait where did Ram, Lunanie and Lith go?
Emilia: Well Lith and Lunanie where going outside for fresh air. Then Ram decided she wanted to go to.
Rem: Some of the kids wanted to go with them to so I gladly said they could.
[With Lunanie and get group]
Lunanie: ahh so nice out here. It's fun sized to *giggles*
Ram: I keep forgetting your use to seeing bigger flower fields.
Lunanie: heehee.
Lith: *goggles* The kids love it our here to. Look at them.
Mia: Can't catch me can't catch Heheheh.
Kiskue: *huff huff huff* why did mom...say I need to...exercise more. This...sucks!
Lith:So what did you want to ask of us Ram?
Ram: I was wondering...on second thought never mind.
Lunanie: Huh? No no tell us pleeeease.
Lith: Yah it's ok. We are basically family after all.
Ram: Ok then. I was wondering if you two could teach me some new spells with my level of magic.
Lunanie: *giggles* you bet we can.
Lith: Not a problem considering you're current abilities.
Lunanie: Mhm mhm.
Lith: But You're not as strong as Rem so we will have to find out the spells your body is best to suited with.
Lunanie: yes definitely don't want you learning extremely powerful magic spells that can have terrible recoils to your body.
Lith: mhm.
Ram: I understand. However I will want to learn one powerful spell regardless.
Lith: Huh?
Lunanie: why?
Ram: To use as a last resort.
Both Lith and Lunanie look at each other in concern.
Lith: If you want one then we will teach tithe strongest.
Lunanie: It's called Heavens Fall Cataclysm.
Lith: An extremely powerful spell used by the demon lords only but...
Lunanie: we think you can handle it.
Ram: I can and will.
Lunanie: First we have to get someone to watch the children.
Elizabeth: I'll do it.
Lith: Eh?! L-Liz? Where did you come from?
Elizabeth: I was with Beatrice. We were talking for a while after you all left.
Beatrice: I'll help watch them to I suppose. Tell me something first. What was that massive spike in mana I felt not to long ago.
Lunanie: Huh?
Ram: What are you talking about?
Lith: I don't remember feeling anything.
Beatrice: Ah I see I suppose it was nothing then. (Hmmm very strange.)
Emilia: So that's where you all went.
Subaru: We got bored waiting so we decided to join you.
Lunanie: Actually we were about to leave to teach Ram some new magic spells.
Elizabeth: Oh? What's one of them?
Ram: I want to keen Heavens Fall Cataclysm.
Elizabeth:...What did you just say?
Ram: I want to learn how to cast the spell Heavens Fall Cataclysm.
Elizabeth: Absolutely not.
Ram: Huh?
Lith: But...big sis I'm sure-
Elizabeth: No. that spell will rip her body apart.
Lith: What is she can handle it then?
Elizabeth: YOU ALMOST DIED TRYING TO USE THAT SPELL!!!
Lith: I-I...
Lunanie: Elizabeth enough.
Elizabeth: But mom...
Lunanie: I wouldn't give her the ok to use such a spell if I knew she couldn't handle it. Understand my little baby dragon girl?
Elizabeth: y-yes mom.
Lunanie:  Now lets go to a safe place.
Lith: Yes mom.
She creates a portal that took them to a safe realm for training with magic.
Emilia: What happened?
Subaru: it happened so fast.
Beatrice: Indeed. they all agreed without needing any input from us.
Emilia: I hope Ram swill be ok.
Subaru: Me to.
Alex: Everyone seems like they want to help. Given the situation I can understand how frustrating it is to sit and watch.
Subaru: Eh? Where have you been hiding?
Alex: *tisk* I was busy helping Rem watch the kids. Kajah is still talking to Yoshiro.
Subaru: Still?!
Emilia: What could they be talking about?
[Meanwhile with Kajah]
Kajah:...I...i refuse to take part in that. Despite everything you said. I have no home there. I would rather be a Royal Guard here than to be a Demon God there.
Yoshiro:...hmph I figured you would say that. I'm not surprised at all.
Kajah: Huh? So...why ask?
Yoshiro: To make sure your heart and mind are in the correct place.
Kajah: Huh?
Yoshiro: Now then, let's see that new strength.
Kajah: Eh?
Yoshiro: I want to see your progress.  Demon Order.
Once again he turns into his most powerful form giving off a massive amount of malice.
Beatrice: Huh? (There it is again. Where is that coming from?)
Yoshiro: Lets see what you got.
The sudden change of atmosphere put Kajah in a sense of shock. The power gap was clear despite his new form he knew he has a lot more room to get stronger.
Kajah: (This...fear...even if I use my new strength. There's no way...it's close to this now.)
Yoshiro: Show me Kajah.
Kajah: *tisk* GRAAAAAAAAAA!!!
The stress,fear and courage Kajah has flowing through him at once allowed him to snap out of his trans and bypass his other demon form.
Kajah: *huff huff huff*
Yoshiro: So this is your Demon God form hm. Very interesting indeed.
Kajah: *huff huff huff*
Yoshiro: Hm? (He's having trouble maintaining it I see.)
Kajah: *ngh*
He reverts back to normal and almost passes out.
Kajah: *huff huff* That's...all...I can...do.
He also returned back to normal and is more than impressed.
Yoshiro: No that's more than expected.
Kajah: h-huh?
Yoshiro: You all have achieved this much strength in such a small time. I'm more than impressed by everyone so far. I can tell when someone has increased in strength by sensing their aura. At this rate you all will be ready to take on anything or anyone that comes your way. More or less anyway.
Kajah: Thanks?
Yoshiro: Come we are finished here.
Kajah: Wait I have something to ask.
Yoshiro: hm?
Kajah: You said before you can't be saved.
Yoshiro: *sigh* I'll tell you the same thing I told Subaru. I-
Kajah: NONSENSE!
Yoshiro: hm?
Kajah: My family was controlled by Zigfreed for so long. Look at us all now. We are all living together happily. Seeing how you handle the children when your power was making them cry lets me know there is still some sense of good in your heart.
Yoshiro: You're getting ahead of-
Kajah: I can tell you're not gonna say what's keeping you from setting yourself free. That's fine because I'll help set you free.
Yoshiro: hm?
Kajah: This sword Utopia...my Mother's sword is what I will use to set you free. That I can promise you.
Yoshiro:...Kajah...
Kajah: Yah?
Yoshiro: I've lived for over 1000 years. Do not make a promise you can't keep.
Kajah: Heh I keep my promises. When we finally fight I'll make sure to free you.
Yoshiro: Hmph we will see then. We are finished here. Bring Rem next my time today is almost over.
Kajah: mhm.
As he releases the spell and waits he ponders to himself.
Yoshiro: (To be free...sounds nice however they cannot help me. I've been like this before far too long now.)
[Back to the others]
Emilia is holding Rin and enjoying her time with him.
Rin: *baby giggles*
Emilia: Awww he's so adorable.
Puck: This is good practice for you.
Emilia: Huh?
Puck: I mean you will be doing the same thing when you have kids.
Emilia: Eh! *blush* P-P-PUCK!!!
Puck: Hahahah I'm sorry Emilia I couldn't help it.
Subaru: *blush* Th-That's not funny.
Petra: Hmph
Rem: *giggles*
Lin: *baby noises*
Rem: Oh? Getting a little cranky huh Lin.
Subaru: These two sleep a lot huh.
Rem: Oh yes Yuna and Luna are ok long as they are holding hands they seem to be very content.
Subaru: That's good to know.
Kiskue: I'm still amazed at how tiny they are.
Rem: well they all turned one year old not to long ago remember.
Kiskue: mhm mhm we had a nice party for them.
Mia: Nya~ They made a biiiig mess.
Emilia: They are still babies after all Mia.
Mia: yah true.
Emma: I enjoyed it a lot. I wonder when they will be able to talk? I wanna tell her sooo many stories.
Rem: *giggles* well you're gonna have to wait a little while before they are able to talk Emma.
Emma: Yah but, that's ok I enjoy how cute they are heehee.
Alex: hm wonder what Thanatos is up to.
Zephyr: Sooooooooooo when do I get a weapon like yours uncle Thanatos?
Thanatos: Not for a while. You must first find out what weapon suits you better.
He tries to pick up one of the weapons but ends up dropping its causing the others to fall and break some pots around the table it was on.
Zephyr: Ehhhhh...oops.
Thanatos: Hmm perhaps we should use fake weapons instead.
Zephyr: Heheheh...yah.
Wrath: AGAIN!
Rez: HAAAAAAA!!!
Rez launches two blue knifes using his mana.
Rez: *huff huff huff* man this is so much harder than cooking.
Wrath: heh I'm impressed though. Wanting to learn how to use magic. You wanted to learn how to manipulate spells and use them like blades.
Rez: I know I know. It's not simple but I'm getting better. The secret training I did helped. Thanks to Puck I'm able to use magic now heheh.
Wrath: yah he was a big help alright. You definitely owe him. Now let's take a break. Don't want you burning everything up. Resting is also a great and important thing to do when training.
Kajah finds Rem and the others and tells her it's her turn.
Rem: Everything went ok?
Kajah: Mhm. He's an interesting guy. Try not to cause a fight ok?
Rem: Hey what's that suppose to mean?
Kajah: heheh nothing love nothing.
Rem: Take Lin, she's still a little groggy so make sure you calm her down.
Lin: *starts to cry*
Kajah: Shhh shhh it's ok Daddy's here.
Rem: I will return everyone.
Emilia: Good luck Rem.
Subaru: We'll be waiting.
Kajah: *big smile* Love you.
Rem: *giggles* love you to.
As she walks to see Yoshiro, he himself has been pondering on what both Kajah and Subaru had told him.
Yoshiro: (I wonder..are they truly serous about trying to help me?) Hm. It sounds too good to be true. However I know it's only a way to make me lower my guard.
Rem walks in and looks at her with an empty stare for a second before regaining his composure.
Yoshiro: Sorry about that. We shall now begin.
He casts the rift spell with Limbo for the last time and began talking.
Yoshiro: It's nice to see you're alive and well.
Rem: Thank you.
Yoshiro: I was told a lot and I've seen what should have become of this place through the knowledge and eye of Lord Genesis.
Rem: May I ask a question.
Yoshiro: of course.
Rem: What is Genesis capable of?
Yoshiro: Hm you're the first to ask the correct question.
Rem: Huh?
Yoshiro: Genesis is considered a demon god of time. He can interfere and manipulate any given moment in time as well.
Rem: Are you able to do the same?
Yoshiro: I'm a small way yes. I can rewind time but, it costs a very large amount of mana and physical energy to do so. Not to mention a keeping the mind stable.
Rem: So...what did you see? About all of us?
Yoshiro: A great question but that I cannot tell you. All I will say is none of you would have met Kajah. You would not be married with Kajah. You would be in a much worse situation as well. Everyone would be actually.
Rem: I-I see.
Yoshiro: I have been keeping things from interfering with your lives.
Rem: But Zigfreed and Kajah's family.
Yoshiro: They are needed for everything to work. Kajah was suppose to die as a child.
Rem: I know he told us that.
Yoshiro: No I mean he dies and doesn't meet anyone here.
Rem: ...what?
Yoshiro: Because of Genesis alteration of time and Subaru's ability, he was able to change Kajah's fate Subaru's fate and everyone else's.
Rem:...so then.
Yoshiro: Yes this world and all it events have changed drastically do to Genesis. I have been dealing with anyone that has to do with the Witch cult.
Rem: What what?! How?
Yoshiro: I killed two in the beginning and gained knowledge from the one known as Gluttony. From there I simply killed three more.
Rem: (he's talking as if they're nothing?)
Yoshiro: I even took care of the two remaining Great Demon Beasts. The Black Serpent and the Great Rabbit.
Rem: Black Serpent?
Yoshiro: Yes Apparently Nowell attempted to use it to cause destruction after finding out about it here. However Lord Genesis had me kill it. It was killed in another time here in this world. Farther in the past and in one of Genesis's time manipulation trips. Nowell Saw the beast and grabbed a part of it without being noticed.
Rem: How?
Yoshiro: Nowell is a Demon god that can hide himself and his presence. Not to mention he's not very tall.
After getting a small frozen part of it, he infused part of his power into it allowing it to regenerate. Problem was he couldn't control it then sent it somewhere onto this world again. This is after a while when he had it in captivity. After finding this out when it was the perfect timeline he ordered me to kill it.
Rem: And you killed it?
Yoshiro: it took time but yes I did.
Rem: Who killed it?
Yoshiro: Emilia when she was younger.
Rem: really?!
Yoshiro: Yes. Lord Genesis and I are the only ones that know everything about this world. That's why having Kajah here would be the perfect place for him to grow and become stronger. We are now without doubt.
Rem: I-I see.
Yoshiro: Our time here is done I'm afraid. I will say one thing though. Rem.
Rem: Yes?
Yoshiro: Are you happy with how things are in your life right now?
Rem: Yes.
Yoshiro: I see in that case enjoy it. (Because you may never get to enjoy this again. Things will change to normal once Genesis gets what he wants.)
