Mind Reality of Eclipse

Searching For Their Location ~ Chapter 121

Where are they?" Kirby asked as the heroes searched the area. They looked around but they were unsuccessful at finding anything.

"Shoot, we need to find where is location is or we'll never be able to save Chrom!" Shez yelled. The heroes nodded as they looked around the town. Suddenly they heard the sounds of wings, it was Claude and he was back again.

Claude asked, "What's going on?"

"Oh Claude! Fancy meeting you here!" Kirby said as he waved. Claude smiled at them and soon noticed there were only seven heroes instead of eleven.

Claude asked, "Um... where's Chrom?'

"Chrom... he was kidnapped," Shez muttered.

Claude asked, "What?! What did Byleth do to him!?"

"Nothing at the moment but he could be putting his life in danger..." Kirby replied. Claude started to get infuriated, he didn't like this at all, but he was unable to do anything about it.

Claude sighed, "I want to make sure he's safe... but I know I shouldn't try risking my life. Here if you guys do end up finding him, give him this..." Claude then showed his communicator. Shez grabbed it as Claude got ready to fly off.

"Wait Claude!" Shez yelled. Claude looked over in confusion as Shez had his hand out. "We need your help."

Claude asked, "Alright, what do you need my help with?"

"We need to fly around the area to see if we can locate Byleth by any form... Can you assist us with that?" Shez explained. Claude nodded as he turned around.

Claude said, "I'll be able to help but I need to get my wyverns to ensure you can all fly around." The heroes nodded as Claude patted his wyvern. Then the two soared off into the air.

Shez sighed, "We'll get help soon, we just need to wait and see..."

Celica sighed, "I really just want to get this entire situation done and over with, I can't stand Byleth acting this way any longer, it's becoming more and more frustrating and infuriating. I will no longer allow this!"

"I agree! We need to save Byleth's body from Zethus' command and we'll be able to live in peace at long last!" Shez yelled. The heroes nodded as they looked around, the thunder had stopped but they weren't safe for sure.

Kirby muttered, "Leaving me worried as always, I wish we could do something about this entire situation but... Byleth is always hiding away, that's why we never find a way to find him!"

"We're searching for his location right now so it shouldn't be that difficult, right?" Alcryst asked. Shez looked down at himself and then took a deep breath.

Shez muttered, "If I were Zethus in this situation... where would I be hiding?" The heroes stood there thinking as Celica looked up and thought of something.

Celica explained, "I'm going to assume that Zethus is hiding away in some dark castle. You don't think he went to the Netherworld yet?"

"I don't believe so, I think he would be hiding in the area where that smoke was, should we take a look to see if he's there?" Shez questioned. The heroes stood there thinking, suddenly they heard something in the distance.

Celica asked, "What was that?"

"I'm assuming it's Zethus and Zehira... let's go take a look!" Shez yelled. The heroes dashed over to the scene and soon noticed it wasn't... Zethus or Zehira. But something far, far more sinister and worse...

Celica asked, "Oh my god!"

"There's flames all over the place?!" Shez asked. They looked around to see if they could see the cause of the situation but there wasn't anyone around. They stood there in silence, but they knew they had to act as soon as possible. They dashed over and Veyle attempted to put out the flames.

But it was no use, none of the spells were working. The citizens were all terrified of their homes, were they going to lose everything they thought? "NO!! COME ON!!" Kirby attempted to use the water copy ability to put out the flames but nothing worked.

Veyle grunted, "The flames! They're not ordinary flames at all!" The heroes looked at one another and then gave it their all. Shez and Alcryst tried to put the fire out with plain water but that didn't go as planned.

"HEROES!! ARE WE GOING TO LOSE OUR HOMES FOR GOOD?!" One citizen yelled.

Shez whispered, "I wish I knew that for sure..." They continued trying to put the flames out but nothing worked. Suddenly they saw a figure in the distance. The heroes all paused trying to put the flame out and looked over.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HERO TOWN!?" Celica ordered. The figure didn't reply, they just kept walking closer and closer to the heroes. They got their weapons prepared in case they were going to be attacked by the figure.

Shez ordered, "EXPLAIN TO US WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT YOUR ULTIMATE GOAL IS!!" The figure paused in front of the flames and stood there quietly, they appeared to be unaffected by the flames itself. "GET THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE WE FIND A WAY TO KILL YOU!!"

The figure turned around and the heroes noticed that the figure had a cape on, their cape flowed in the wind as the figure turned around and smiled. The heroes suddenly all froze there in fear, they knew exactly who the figure was... they were still terrified.

Shez muttered, "Tell me... what did Zethus and Zehira do to you?! What did they ask of you!? WHY!! WHY DID HE HAVE TO USE YOUR BODY?!" The other heroes were far too stunned to say anything, the figure walked closer ahead and smiled at the heroes.

"I am just following orders just as I was supposed to..." Then the figure revealed their face. It was one of the disposal but... it was someone they knew. Marth... his corpse was being used against his will... the heroes were beyond terrified.
