Life Novel, Part 6

16

We went back to Mistral via a portal that Neo had, Mercury escorted Laguna through the portal first, when we all were in the throne room, Laguna was asked by my queen, "What element do you control?" "Water, haven't you notice that the Hudson River was no longer polluted?" she asked back. We've all came to realize that it was, indeed, in fact, no longer polluted. Then I looked at her and felt an very bad vibe coming from her, like something deep within. I hope that she is in control of whatever she has within her, Akari looks at me, "What's wrong, Ulquiorra?" "Nothing that I can easily say right now," I tell her, "Can we just figure out on how we are going to get this 2nd child back?" Astro Storm, as cued for me when I finished asking that, she walks in, "I have something that I might need 2 people for this." "Myself and Neo would like to aid you," said my queen, she looks at me, "Keep an eye on Mugetsu." "Of course," I nodded, knowing that I never stopped making sure that he did not do anything stupid.

Neo's POV:

As we went to Astro's place, we noticed that we are in Markarth, I looked at her, "Is she holding the royal position until you choose someone?" "Of course, what else am I going to do? That is just too much work for me," she said, "Why you do think I had Abraham Lincoln as the Jarl of Ravencrest, aka Whiterun, and Ember Rose being the ruler for The Rift?" "Fair point," I said to her. Astro Storm lead us inside of her place, we saw this huge portal in the way back of her place, Akari asked, "Is this all your place?" "Well, yes, remember that I live within the cyber walls," she tells us, "So I put all my tech out here." "Right, so what is that you need us help with?" asked Akari. Astro looks at her, "You aren't here to help me, I am here to help you guys, I'm just testing something. That when I found this portal out in the living world, I panicked and somehow managed to break at least 14 pieces of it, brought it here and that is the portal in the WAY back when you guys came in here."

We looked at each other, I asked, "So, what you do need from us?" "I need to hear you guys from wherever this portal takes you guys," she tells us. I shrugged that it might be a success or pointless to do if this fails. She light it up using a Flint and Steel kind of tool, and it opened up, I told that I was going first, I stepped through and transported somewhere that is not pleasant for the sanity, I messaged Lady Akari that does not look pleasant for her to see, then I heard a very scary noise, I looked up and I am right, I am in the f*cking Nether from Minecraft, I looked to the ground and there was a diamond pickaxe just right in front of me, I picked it up and started gathering some stacks of basalt, or netherrack, depending which part of the nether you are at, I felt a presence behind me but it was more of a protective, friendly kind of way, also I just realized that I am not all blocks, like in Minecraft, almost everything is all blocks. I turned to who is approaching me, I see that it is a Wither Skeleton, uh oh, sh*t I do not have a diamond sword. Then I heard it asked, "Are you looking for some help Ms?" "Uh, I don't follow," I said to it, "Can I have your name?" "I apologize, milady, the names Plague the Wither Skeleton," he said, "Don't mind me just wondering if ya can survive without falling into the lava. Let my ghastly friend help ya'll out with whatever you are dealing with."

After that interaction, he just left, leaving me in awe that he never attacked me, went into a deep forest to do my business for her, and traveled all the way back to Mistral, she looks, "Have you gotten the remedy?" "Not yet, Rosie is in the process of gathering the materials, apparently she has never had anyone ask for anything to her in a while," I tell her, "I'm going to go get it instead of you, you need to relax because you've done so much, you need a break." "Neo, I don't need any break," she said. I tell her, "I'm not giving you a choice, you should let your followers do the heavy lifting, you have me, Torchwick, Mercury, and Emerald, let us handle everything, you are on hiatus until further notice on your part, come back when YOU want to." I never seen such a relief expression from her, then I told her, "Do not go to Thomas Sanders to do more work, same with the A7X members, you are not allowed to work but relax, you can go back to doing what you love to do more than anything." "Why do you think that I am going to lock myself in my private library that you and Torchwick built in secret," she said.

After all that was said and done, I walked out and immediately got shouted at by Serene Jewel, "What in the world did you say to her?" "Why should I say anything to you, you do not control her, she controls all of us," I tell her, "If you don't like it, deal with it!" I walked away from her, then again I am having strong feelings for her Royal Highness. I went into the throne room, Ulquiorra looks at me, "Have you ordered her to relax?" "Yes, I didn't know that she would agree to it so quickly," I told him. He walks over to me, "You know why she allowed it, right?" "Do you know something that I don't?" I asked. He nods, "I was told that she is allowed to have another loved one on her throne, her bloodline is trying to arrange a marriage with her and Shuhei, which those 2 are NOT on speaking terms anymore." "Why would she, this is suppose to be her choice, not theirs, if anything it should be me because I'm doing everything I can to keep everything safe from her getting into more trouble," I tell him. Ulquiorra said to me, "She has never told you that she is secretly considering that you would be her 2nd lover?" "Are you fine with that?" I asked, making sure he is on the same page. He nods, so Akari is Bi, no wonder why she favors me over anyone, minus Ulquiorra.
