Adventure Awaits: Tales of Elementia

Chapter 14: Never Easy

We find ourselves in the mits of the stand-off in the Volcano... of some kind. FS is staring down at both Leon and Isacc, who's dark purple appearance tells all that FS needs to know. He also sees his eyes. His pupils were as described as Julio told him a while ago. A black heart, split in the middle with a red diamond, although his other eye was covered in an eye patch. His clothing, a very long dark purple and black coat that reaches down to almost his legs, black gloves that cover his hands that emanate his corrupted energy.

But that didn't matter at this moment... FS was dealing with a Dark Lord and Sin at the same time.

FS:
"Once again?"
"As if I ever met you."
"You look like your average stand alone, Villain."

Isacc:
"Ah... silly, silly."
"As always,"
"All bark, no bite."
"You're just like your Predecessors before you."

Hearing this FS's body froze, his hands turned to stone as his mind processed what he had just heard. As his powers drop, so to his thoughts... Does Isacc know more than he looks? Seeing this, Isacc takes the opportunity to mess with FS some more... and by, meaning he's gonna beat the living soul out of him.

Isacc:
"Ah right..."
"You don't remember."
"Maybe this will help you soften up a bit!"

Isacc suddenly comes full swinging, punching FS in the face, sending him back to the same wall Fikar crashed onto. He then launches forward, giving no time for FS to recover, grabbing onto his shirt before throwing him to the ground, leaving crack marks. FS was still too stunned to react. It was like his mind was... shattered at the thought of being a Nobody.

And with one last pummel, Isacc throws FS to the ground, injured but not wounded or bloody. Isacc walks up to FS and kneels to him with a grin.

Isacc:
"Weak as always..."
"But I guess you truly live up as,"
"The Creator of Elementia."

This then breaks FS back to reality, closing his fist, which burns with power, but FS immediately kicks up, bending his back a bit before launching a strong blow to his chest, which also sends him flying a bit too. He stood up with a reignited fire in his eyes, his face angrily frowned at them both,

FS:
"I'll make sure..."
"YOU BOTH DIE BY MY HANDS NOW!"

Isacc's smirk grows as he goes towards Leon and presses his head once as dark energy begins to flow into Leon's mind, powering him up against FS.

Isacc:
"I'd love to stay and fight..."
"But I have my own assignments to deal with."
"So Leon, I don't need you anymore~"
"You can keep your home."

Leon:
"Grahh...!"
"You son of a star...!"
"I'm gonna kill you when I make it out of this!!!"

Isacc snickers before going into a black portal, his voice echoing throughout the volcano, filled with malice.

Isacc:
*Echoes*
"Until we meet again, dear FS!"

FS then turns to look at Leon who was trying to gain control of the intense flow of darkness that he was given to Leon, before seeing the sky turn into a pitch black... Isacc was lying, how ironic. Not long after, Leon's aura grows as it combines with the Darkness, changing his look to more demonic and fiery.

FS looks around for any weapons or gear he could use but to no avail... Until he realizes he was dumb enough to remember he can call weapons to him, meaning he can call onto the Seventh Blades and as he held his hand out, he tried to call for it... Nothing... He goes to call it again... Nothing. FS sighs in disappointment before summoning a black blade with white wraps that cover the handle and act as its hilt.

FS:
"This is just flipping great."

We now go back a few minutes earlier, where we find Nancy taking her sweet time at the festival, talking to vendors, eating delicious cooked meat, and looking at all the awesome and fun things. It wasn't until she saw in the distance a familiar face, Julio! He seemed to be enjoying the Festival as much as her, so she decided to follow him. Making her way through the crowds while following his track... Which leads her to the Blacksmith.
