32. Ash's Reborn Story

Chapter 156 Trainer from Aevium Part 1

After taking a rest, Ash, Serena, and Victoria are now at the Night Club, they also find some people there as they greet them. The Circus gang is delighted to see Terra back in the group, while the others are a little annoyed to see her back again.

Samson: Thanks for bringing the gang back together. It uh... Let's just say our bartending friend was starting to get a little concerned about me and my intake volume before. Trying to run from the loneliness. Listen, you can't tell them I said this, right? I'll never hear the end of it. You did good, Champ.

Ash: Thanks?

Terra: hi bb ;) D1d u c0me 2 ask for a dance? well S0RRY 1'M T4K3N! by cha0s. Me and ch4os are the best. OTP, S+ 5upp0rt, baybeee!

Ash: And here she goes back to the weird talking...

Terra: TH4NX 4 HELP1NG REUNITE US BTW. hmm. I'm b0r3d. You th1nk Julia wants 2 bl0w stuff up l8ter?

Serena: I'm not sure.

The next group they find is Hardy and Aya.

Aya: I'm glad you're okay. I'm... really sorry about what happened on that train. When Hardy and I first ran into those orbs, I thought they were kind of pretty. But even then-- they were more hassle than anything. The Red Orb was so heavy, and it kept randomly getting heavier and lighter-- And at one point it got hot? It burned Hardy's pocket. And the Blue Orb... We had to keep it between us. You've seen firsthand what that one does. I'm just glad nobody got really hurt. It would've been so awful... Although I won't lie to you-- I'm glad I wasn't there. I'm glad I didn't have to be the one to deal with Terra again. My head hurt for ages after the first time we met, and her mallet didn't help either. Anyway, thanks for dealing with that.

Hardy: Lookin' good, there, Ash. Glad to see you're still in one piece. Adrienn was tellin' us about the train mishap. Honestly, I don't know what that thief wanted 'em for, anyway. Those Orbs are a right pain in the arse. Completely wrecked my jacket, burned a hole in the pocket, and Aya's lunch got totally ruined when that Blue one decided to act up. I get that they're pretty powerful, but is it really worth it? Ah, well. Hopefully wherever that guy is, he's havin' as much trouble as we did.

Then they decide to find Julia, who was just finished talking to Amaria and Titania.

Julia: HIYA! (Sees them covering their ears) Oops, sorry for yelling! I'm in an Extra-Happy-Fun mood now, because BOOMIES! Not that I'm not always the extra-cheeriest around, but explosions make everything better! Plus, I got to make a new friend! Y'know, it is kinda unfortunate, though... That that Corin guy ran off. I know, I know, he was in big trouble with the police, and he stood me up, and sure, maybe he's kiiiind of a notorious thief, but he was really cute! Not that I'd ever give him another chance after he stood me up, but you've gotta admit, it would sure be an exciting relationship! Aah... It's too bad things with that other guy didn't work out. Anyhoo, I'm sure you've got things to do, and I've got a fifth cup of coffee to get to. Enjoy your day, Ash~

Amaria: Oh, I'm surprised to see you! After what happened with the train heist, I wasn't sure if you'd be around here for a while. You were security detail when it was robbed, after all! Oh, but I'm sure you couldn't have predicted what might happen. I was just worried you might be embarrassed. I did want to ask you, actually! What was it like, holding the Blue Orb?

Ash: It's not the best experience, trust me.

Amaria: I've always wanted to see it. An artifact swirling with the pure, concentrated essence of the deep... It sounds wonderful. I do hope the thief gets caught. I'd really love to see it for myself. In the meantime, don't let one failed mission discourage you. I'm sure there'll be others!~
