Love Far Beyond the Ashes

Empty Vessel

Mumei pov: "Huh... where are we?" I asked, and as I finally came to my senses, I looked around, noticing we were in the boundary again. "Why do I feel so weak?" I asked

"You don't feel any different, Mumei; you didn't drop out of power." Reine commented

"No, I feel so empty," I told her.

Yes, that's what happens when someone rids you of me, nameless; you are a husk!" Omegaα said

My papa walked over and gently leaned me against Fauna and Kronii. I could tell he was furious.

"You need to stay away from my daughter," he growled.

Omegaα stared at him with shock. "Your daughter? Last time I checked, she was a product of me," they said.

As they continued to argue, Fauna and Kronii began to tug at me.

"You need to get us out of here; you are the only one in council whose power reigns in here because Sana is being negated for some reason!" Fauna said

"Sorry, I don't think I can help," I said.

My papa looked back at me and began to say, "Kiara, Reine, help your sister out!" He said

"No, I can't let my vessel escape the boundary; I need to pair with her once again!" Omegaα yelled

My papa glared at them and laughed forward, punching them in the face. "Shut up!" He yelled

Omegaα stumbled back and was shocked to feel blood dripping down their faces.

"What the hell?" they said.

My papa cracked his knuckles and neck. "Let's fight," he said.

"Well, no, I have to eliminate you." She said

"I won't let you touch my daughter," he said.

"She isn't your daughter; she is my vessel!" Omegaα yelled

I stood up and growled under my breath, "I'm not your vessel; I am Nanashi Mumei, guardian of civilization... I'm a member of council!" I yelled

"No, you are independent. I need you to stop losing yourself. You are nothing without me, Nameless!" Omegaα yelled

"If I'm nothing without you, then I'd rather be without you. I'm not going to be held back anymore. This is my body, my power," I said.

Omega flew forward, trying to grab onto me to start the fusion process, but my papa got in the way, kicking them away.

"Like I said, stay away from my daughter!" He said

"Azure, how dare you make me bleed again?" They yelled

"Get away from my daughter and send everyone back, or I'll make you regret it," he said.

"Oh... I forgot it's the sadistic side of yours that I love so much; you need to get out of my way; however, if you do, I'll let you escape at least," She said.

"I won't get out of your way; after all, it's a father's job to protect his daughter, and I will not let you harm her anymore, so get out of my sight; I won't warn you again!" My papa said:

Fauna and Kronii stood me up and began to move me back at a fast pace.

"Wait up, you two; we can't keep up with you if you run that fast!" Kiara said

Reine was holding onto her so much that she was flapping in the wind. It was honestly cute.

"Hold it, you two; let me try to get you all out of her from here," I said.

I stood up but suddenly felt weak and fell over. Wait, can I bring another dimension, Mumei, over?" Ame asked

Kronii glared at her and slapped her. "Hell no!" She yelled

I laughed at how she was just rejected, but to be honest, I think we need to get Ina and Sana to get us out, but there is no way we can get them in top form in such a short time.

"Maybe I can't get us out, but I'm still sick." Irys panted

Anerys grabbed her and held her back, saying, No, you've done enough."

"But..." Irys wasn't going to fight back as Bae held her back since she knew her time was almost up.

"I wish I could help," Gura said.

"You can, as long as you stay near me and don't fight," I said.

She seemed dumbfounded that I would tell her not to fight since this is why they trained, but I don't think they can handle it. The one that has to fight is my papa.

"Anerys, I'm fighting whether you like it or not!" Irys said

"Why don't I get a say in this?" Bae yelled

Irys, don't you dare fight!" Calli screamed

Irys stopped and looked back at Calli, who had an angry expression on her face. Honestly, she may be the only one who can beat sense into her.

Irys paused but summoned her halo and twin blades anyway.

"I will fight no matter what," She said.

Anerys poked her, and she suddenly collapsed. "I have given you muscle failure; you will not fight." She said

"Come on... it's either we fight or Mumei gets taken; you know this, we all do it, so why be afraid? We can do this!" Irys shouted

I looked at everyone and closed my eyes. "You have permission to fight in any way possible," I said.

Kronii glared at me, annoyed that I'd given Ame full access to time powers, but we need to do anything we can; we can't just sit here and do nothing; we have to at least try to get back, and I am the only one that can do it.

"Stop!" My papa yelled

I looked up at him, getting a smile. "I will get Omegaα. You just need to worry about escaping. Get as far from here as possible and get out!" He said

Deep inside I know I have to leave, but I don't want to abandon him, knowing that he could lose or be trapped here forever.

"Mumei, you will have us; we won't let anything happen to you!" Reine yelled

I looked at her in shock that she was going to yell, and Kiara smiled.

"You took the words out of my mouth," She said.

"Then let's go..." I said
