angels words still Echo through me and even though I was given the information about when her brother will strike the world I refuse to believe her

What was Angel's brother's name?

I thought to myself as I was trying to remember his name, I didn't remember much of him since he would only pick her up from school, I never got to get along with her brother that wanted to make friends

The upgrades on the red Pagoda were going to plan when I could be happier. On the 3rd and 4th day we did get a couple of enemies they're trying to take us out but luckily we were able to hold our own and defeat them, I feel proud not having angel to take the prize all the time

"My lord this is our 8th win yet!"

Melody said happily and I was pleased that we could hold our own until we felt the ground shake making me head outside to see what was going on. I could see the sky was turning dark and red

"I don't like the looks of that"

Zoro said watching the sky, I was getting a bad feeling in my stomach, I started to regret ever turning her down as I did tell her to never come back, the colors that changed through the skys terrified me but I knew I couldn't feel scared in front of my Guardians especially since now they started to go see that i was a great leader

"Lord wolf what would you like to do about this?"

Melody asked me, I shift to her and back to the sky not knowing what to do actually

"If I remembered his name maybe there would be a way for me to stop this"

I said out loud as everyone look at me not knowing what or who I was talking about

"Whoever are you referring to my lord?"

Afro asked as I turned away and headed back inside, I went to look for Quinton to see if maybe he could remember or if you know anything about him, When finding the little boy in the kitchen stuffing his face with macaroni and cheese and other stuff I took a seat as well next to him

"What do you want, are you finally going to take me to my mother as you promised?"

"Of course but I'm going to need your help on something, tell me do you know anything about Angel's brother?"

"Her brother? I didn't even know she had one"

He said scratching his head but then that turned into a toothy grin

"What's in it for me if I give you the information that you want?"

He asked me Crossing his arms as I only sigh

"The only thing you ever want Quentin, I can grant it faster than you can think"

I told him has he formed a big smile on his face

"Her brother is the undead Lord Ainz Ooal Gown the ruler of nazarick"

"Lord Ainz? How come I've never hurt this name before and how do you know it"

"I don't have to tell you anything other than what I told you now it's time for you to pay up"

He said looking at me waiting for me to do something

"Just tell me where this place is and then I'll ship you off"

"I don't have that information but if you really want to know you have to talk to Brian"

I thank them for the information he gave me and called forth some of my guards to send them over to the elemental organization since there was no way for me to give him to Yuki

Angel POV)

Now that Angel's brother has started the war she was lost on how to make him stop, part of her didn't really care if a lot of humans lost their lives, what she was really worried about if her friend could save his life but he refused to listen to her, but who can blame him after what she did, she couldn't understand why he wouldn't believe her let alone trust her and now he banished her

"My lady..."

Angel turned to see Luna waiting by her bedroom door

"You have a guess that arrived at the Elemental organization we don't know who he is but all he keeps saying is that he wants to speak to his mother"

When Angel heard that, she immediately knew who this person was and  assisted no time and headed over to the Elementals

She saw the guards blocking the boy's entrance as he was trying to pick a fight with them including zero

"Quinton?"

When the boy heard her voice his face immediately lit up as he quickly ran and her Direction and threw himself into her arms hugging her ever so tightly. The look she was getting from the Guardians were questionable as she didn't even know how she was going to explain this to them

"Please tell me he's not another throwaway"

Zero questioned as it seemed to be a joke but Angel didn't find it quite funny

"He isn't my child zero"

She told her

"Good because it's going to be hard for me to explain this to your husband and I'm not going to make up a lie either"

"Sis, This boy is human. How could lady angel give birth to a human child if she's an Angelic being?"

Her sister zwei asked

"It was a joke zwei"

Zero said rolling her eyes

"Then who's kid is it?"

She asked, angel had no time to bother with their questions

"Quinton, how did you get here?" she asked the young boy 

"Wolf drop me off, he told me if I give him Information about your brother he will let me come here to live with you!"

"Wolf did what?!"

Angel shouted as she looked ahead not seeing him or anyone

"Master if you want we can chase him down and bring him back?"

Zero asked as angel shook her head

"Forget it zero... Quinton, why did you tell wolf about my brother?"

She asked the boy, it seemed to be the only way for him to be with her, angel knew how much Quinton wants to be with her as he does see her as his own mother

"Alright Quinton,I'll see what I can do for you"

She said as he smiled

"Does that mean I can stay?"

He asked as angel nodded. Quinton hugged her again thanking her

"Uh master, I don't think that's a good idea"

Zero said chiming in, angel knew why she said that and knew she would need lilly to help her fix that problem

"Will worry about that later. Right now I need to see my brother"

Angel got up and told zero to watch Quinton for her, as much as zero didn't want to she did what her master told her to do, Angel headed over to her brother to speak to him but instead, she was greeted by Albedo and told her that he wasn't in as he was out and about dealing with the world itself

"He's never around when I really need him"

Angel said to herself as Albedo wanted to know what was going on but she couldn't tell the succubus lady anything as she knew sometimes this sneaky succubus might betray her or even try to rat her out.

"Everything is fine Albedo, nothing to worry about..."

She said, playing off a smile and leaving. If she couldn't get to her brother she would have to find him and fast
