So second story, oh boy. Hope you like it, My OC will be described in the bio. Let's go down another rabbit hole. By the way, I own nothing but my OC's bio, and the edits I make to the storyline till the end. No media is mine unless specified. The g...
We continued on our way, apparently headed for the nearest inn.
Rex: This whole thing with Core Crystals, touching them to create Blades... It's pretty amazing when you think about it.
Pyra: We Blades start out formless, anchored to the world only by our Core Crystal. Only the touch of a potential can imbue us with form and being. And it is by those forms we come to be known.
Kai: So that's how that works
Azurda: So you see, my boy, in some ways it is only the fated touch of a Driver that allows the Blades to exist at all.
Rex: Wow... Why does it happen that way, though?
Azurda: Now that is something no one knows. It's just how it's always been.
Dromarch: Blades come in all shapes and sizes. Some human-shaped, some not.
Nia: Some people say the shape depends on the kinda person the Driver is.
Pyra: The resonance between Blade and Driver is a mysterious thing
Rex: *muttering* Pyra... She was crying when I met her. Was she brought to life by someone once, just like a normal Blade...? What is the Aegis, really?
A soldier blocked our way into town square
Padraig: Halt! Nobody move!
Azurda: Oh dear... Looks like imperial troops.
Nia: Great.
Rex: Hey, what's going on?
Padraig: That fugitive in your company is an enemy of the state! A member of Torna!
Rex: Nia, a member of Torna?
Padraig: It's her all right. Gormotti Driver, white beast-form Blade. She looks exactly like the wanted poster!
Rex: What wanted poster?
Padraig: See for yourself!
He presented the wanted poster from earlier
Rex: Wow, it really does-
Nia: Oi, watch it!
Rex: Ah, uh, I mean, no way! This doesn't look anything like... Wait, we've got no time for this! Who cares if it looks just like her?
Nia: *hiss*
Padraig: Hmph. Now as for you... You look like a Driver too. Registration number?
That made Rex do a double take
Rex: 5...3...9...?
Padraig: Knock it off, you fool. All new Drivers must register with Indol! No number means you must be an illegal, unregistered Driver!
Rex panicked
Rex: No, you don't get it!
Padraig: You're coming with me! We'll see what the consul has to say about this!
Nia: Rex, Dromarch and I are gonna make our move. Get ready to run.
Rex: We're not leaving without you.
Nia: This is our problem, not yours.
Rex: I'm pretty sure he wants to arrest all of us. So this is my problem, too!
Nia: Sheesh, you're a stubborn one, ain't you?
Rex: Gramps says the same thing.
Nia: OK, we go on three. We'll go left, you go right.
Rex: OK!
Pyra: Just give the word!
Nia: OK, let's do this!
I readied, drawing my buster sword if I needed to intervene. The soldier now appeared scared
Padraig: Y-you're going to resist? Seriously?
Nia: One...two...
Padraig: A-All right, men! We've got them outnumbered - move in and take them down!
Nia: THREE!
They charged. I hung back, spinning my sword lazily, waiting for my turn. If it was necessary. With blows being rapidly exchanged, the Drivers vs Soldiers conflict was a one sided bloodbath, except nobody got killed.
Kai: Boooooring! Somebody kill somebody already!
It was quickly over, the soldiers all beaten, and they seemed exhausted.
Kai: I didn't eben have to punch anyone...
Padraig: They're...so strong! Such strength from a measly two fighters... They're Drivers, all right!
Nia: Rex! Now!
Rex: You got it!
We turned tail and started running till...
Rex: Wha-?! A wall made of fire?!
Pyra: Kai! What are you doing!?
Kai: That's not my color Pyra, those flames aren't mine. My blue is brighter, more powerful than that.
A lady appeared. And clearly sexy women didn't have to wear much. I mean, first Pyra, and now this.

Brighid: Such a commotion. Just when I thought I could enjoy a little peace and quiet.
Padraig: L-Lady Brighid!
Rex: Brighid? Is she a Blade? Wh-where's her Driver?
Brighid: My Driver is otherwise engaged at present. I am here alone.
Rex: No...Driver?
Padraig: Ba ha ha! Lady Brighid is the "Jewel of Mor Ardain"! The strongest Blade in the Empire! Even alone, she's more than a match for you! Lady Brighid, these miscreants are terrorists working for Torna. Please lend me your power to bring them to justice!
Brighid: Torna? That emerald Core Crystal... Could it really be true? Well, well. Captain Padraig, you are not to kill them. Take these ones in alive.
Padraig: Roger! Men, bring the you-know-what!
Kai: What's that?
Ardainian Soldiers: Sir!
Kai: Another battle! Whoopee!
Woah. A second chapter? I must be on crack or something. No way that I could do that. Or maybe I feel bad for a two week hiatus cause I was camping and had no cell service for mobile data. Anyway. Hope you enjoyed, please let me know if I make any mistakes. Laters!
