Re:Zero Rise of The Demon Lords

Their Trust

   

Rem and Kajah are sitting together in the living room after taking care of Subaru again after their second day training.
Rem: Kajah.
Kajah: yah?
Rem: d-do you truly trust me?
Kajah: Huh? What makes you ask that?
Rem: I-i don't know. It seems like when I ask you not to do something...even when I beg you to you seem to do it anyway or you have trouble trusting what I ask.
Kajah: oh no that's not it. I trust you 110% Rem. It's just...well
Rem: hm?
Kajah: when I see people I care about in danger or hurt I don't know I just...don't think about the consequences.
Rem: I can see how you would not want me to tell you not to help when things are bad.
Kajah: yah...like when we fought Wrath and he was going to kill you in front of me.
Rem: y-yah.
Kajah: you know there was no way I was gonna let him do that.
Rem:....yah
Kajah: even if you would hate me afterwards I still would do it. I would use my powers to do it again even if it kills me.
Rem: But Kajah.
Kajah: You know I cannot let you die at all. That goes for anyone I care about. I'll have to die trying to save everyone before I see them die in front of me.
Rem: I see.
Rem sits in between Kajah and lays the back of her head on his chest.
Rem: I'm really glad.
Kajah blushes.
Kajah: ehhh a-about wh-what?
Rem: I'm really glad we met. I'm happy we all met honestly. At first I wanted you all to go but then you offered to be a guard for the mansion. I had no idea how powerful you actually where until you showed everyone. That day everyone's thoughts on you changed greatly.
Kajah: hahah really now?
Rem: mhm
Kajah: well I'm glad everyone trusts me now. I wouldn't want anyone to think negatively of me.
Rem: yes I'm sorry about that.
Kajah: Nono it's ok I can totally understand.
Rem holds Kajah's right hand
Rem: does it hurt?
Kajah: hm?
Rem: when you use your right eye and arm. Do they hurt you?
Kajah: hmm not really. I guess at first because I wasn't use to the pressure of my demon powers on my eye and arm. Over time I got use to it of course so the pain wasn't even a thing anymore.
Rem: I see. That's good then.
Kajah: heh you worry to much sometimes Rem you know that?
Rem: *giggles* maybe but, i wouldn't worry if I didn't care.
Kajah: yah...true.
Rem thinks about the time they have before their next enemy comes.
[Earlier in the day in Rem's room]
Rem: I hope those two aren't doing too much again out there.
Alexander: yah I hope so to.
Rem: yah I-....eh? EHHHH!!!
Alexander: shhhh.
Rem: h-how did you? When did you?
Alexander: not a lot of time to chat. Listen to me. Your next opponent will be my sister Elizabeth. She's much stronger than all my other siblings combined. Not to mention she has a three headed Dragon named Dystopia.
Rem: what?!
Alexander: Subaru won't be able to do anything because of her experience in combat. Also her Dragon will be too much for him. Then there's Kajah. He's unable to go into that limit form again. If he does he will definitely die.
Rem: (Kajah...)
Alexander: so as of right now you're the only one that can fight.
Rem: only...me?
Alexander: mhm. Rem I'm putting my faith in you. Please don't fail me.
Rem: mhm. I promise I won't. I'll protect them with my life. Also take this.
Rem: Huh? A new mace? (It's completely different and lighter that my old one.)
Alexander: I made that using my grandfather's blood. Now then in order for this to work you must drink that elixir I gave you and then kiss the one who owns the yin energy.
Alexander begins to leave but, before he does.
Alexander: Rem.
Rem: yes?
Alexander: don't you die either ok. Promise me that to.
Rem: I-I promise.
Alexander smiles for the first time in a while and leaves.
[Present time]
Rem: hey Kajah
Kajah: yah?
Rem: if-If we come across another enemy do you mind if I help you fight this time?
Kajah: Huh? You helped last time though.
Rem: I mean really get involved you know?
Kajah: ehh yah ok.
Rem: you truly trust me right?
Kajah: hahah Rem come on I've said this like many time.
Rem: I know but I just need to make sure one more time.
Kajah gently squeezes her hand a little more.
Kajah: of course I trust you Rem. I love you. You know this.
Rem relaxes her head more on Kajah's chest.
Rem: thank you.
Kajah: of course. I hope everyone else is ok.
Rem: yah I hope they come back soon
Kajah: heh yah me to.
Meanwhile with Raswaal and the others.
Raswaal: that's a lot to demand you know.
Emilia: HOW CAN I JUST STAY HERE!!
Ram: if they are in danger we should go and help them.
Puck: If this is something you new of why not tell us sooner?
Emma: daddy and mommy are in trouble. We can help...I think.
Rez: I mean...jeez that's a lot to take in.
Kiskue: I need to know why your telling us now.
Female villager: we are great full for putting us all here to keep us safe but...Subaru,Kajah,and Rem...we have to be able to help them somehow?
Lunanie: *puckering her cheeks and still in a cute sweet tone* WHY DID YOU HIDE THIS FROM ME!! WELL ALEX!?
Alexander:..*sigh* (I haven't even finished and everyone is angry at me.)
Emilia: we have to go now.
Raswaal: I'm sure you want to go Emilia but the letter he sent me was very clear that we all stay in the town till it's safe to go back.
Emilia: why do I have to listen to what he says?
Raswaal:well you herd her Alexander.
Alexander: if you all go back you all will get In their way. You will also be putting yourself in grave danger.
Emilia: but if we help we will
Be ok.
Alexander: wrong. You're up against my sister Elizabeth. She can easily beat everyone here.
Lunanie: why is Liz doing this in the first place. I never raised my babies to do such things.
Alexander: I wanted to know as well Mother. That's why I need more time,but then Kajah was known by them and it put me in a very tuff situation.
Lunanie: *starts to cry a little* oh Kajah I'm so sorry you have to go through so much.
Reinhard: I'm sure if we all go we can help Subaru,Rem and Kajah with your sister Alex.
Alexander: ideally if she was your average demon yes. However Elizabeth uses a three headed dragon named Dystopia.
Felix: EHHH?! A dragon?!
Reinhard: I'm sure we can take it.
Alexander: again if she was your normal demon yes. Elizabeth is considered a war goddess. Also Dystopia has three separate heads with their own abilities. One of them can sap away the durability and or magic from any weapon not infused with our royal blood.
Reinhard: I see.
Alexander: in other words your powerful weapon there though it's a legendary sword it still can be effected by that dragon heads ability. It probably won't fully break but the power within it will be drained turning it into a normal dull sword for a set time.
Reinhard: so then how will Subaru and Rem deal with such a monster?
Ram: if that's true Alex then they are in grave danger to.
Emilia: why tell us this knowing we can't help them?!
Alexander: because Subaru was able to handle Kajah's blood allowing him to be immune to the dragons ability. I gave Rem a new mace infused with the blood of my grandfather and of course Kajah's weapon was also infused with the blood.
Emilia: Subaru...he did it? He's ok?
Alexander: yes and stronger than before.
Reinhard: that's good. I haven't seen Subaru in a little bit to.
Felt: We can visit him right Emilia?
Emilia: of course.
Felix: I want to come to!
Alexander: Now's not the time.
Felix: s-sorry.
Ram: I still want to go to my sister.
Ram begins getting angry and upset at Alexander.
Ram: AND YOU WONT STOP ME!!
Alexander gives Ram a very powerful demonic glare forcing her to sit and calm down. A very powerful aura emitted off of him as well.
Ram:.......
Alexander: do understand no one here can do anything to me.
Lunanie: Alex...
Alexander: s-sorry Mother. Anyway if I didn't care about Kajah's friends and family I would have all of your fates sealed already but, I'm not my father or my younger siblings.
Lunanie: Alex what do you mean?
Alexander: Mother...Father has his own ambitions and it involves the destruction of this world.
Lunanie: WHAT WHY?!
Raswaal: what exactly is your father?
Alexander: my father is named Xalvec. He is considered a demon god capable of opening rifts. These rifts can be gateways for other powerful demons to enter from.
Puck: (this does sound problematic)
Emilia: seriously?
Reinhard: seriously?!
Felix: hmm
Raswaal: that's something that should have been told to us sooner.
Alexander: well I was keeping that from happening but because Kajah was discovered the wheels of fate have begun to turn again.
Lunanie: what? What are you talking about Alex?
Alexander: Kajah is my sister's child mom. He is also a demon prince.
Ram: Wait what?!
Emilia: are you serious?!
Raswaal: This changes a lot.
Puck:he's a prince?!
Reinhard: who is this Kajah person anyway?
Ram: it's a long story. Hopefully you will get to meet him one day.
Alexander: you all have been very quiet. You have nothing to say?
Priscilla: well what can I say? You want our help correct? What's in it for me pretty boy?
Alexander: you try to make a deal with me or my father behind my back you will die. I'm not bluffing either. My father hates all races besides his own. (Though that wasn't like him before.)
Lunanie: (that's not how I remember my beloved. Xalvec loves all life...what happened to him? Was leaving a bad idea?)
Alexander: this goes to everyone. I'm not asking for help I'm commanding you to fight. If not then when the time comes and your fighting one of my brothers or sisters you will die to them no doubt.
Crusch: what is your idea then?
Alexander: you all wait.
Felt: what are we waiting for exactly?
Alexander: for Subaru Rem and Kajah to change fate.
Emilia: eh?
Anastasia: that...doesn't make any sense.
Priscilla: I have to agree with her that makes absolutely no sense at all.
Crusch: you're gonna have to explain more.
Alexander: Originally I was supposed to lead the world in nothing but demons. Humans would be used as caddle nothing more. Demons from my world would rule over this one.
Puck: (I would have to fight seriously again.)
Alexander: because of my power I would have no equal. However I didn't want anything to do with that after my father killed my sister Carmella. Instead I wanted to continue her dream where humans and demons can live together in peace. He wanted my sister who was extremely powerful to marry this demon that was under My father. She didn't like him and left. The reason why he wanted her to have a child by a demon was to have that child take my place as demon lord. My sister went against our father and married a human and had Kajah, but of course my father didn't like that and had a demon puppet try to kill them out of rage. Kajah was saved by his mother and our mother ended up raising Kajah like her own child.
Lunanie: he is my child still. I know I didn't give birth to him but still...I see him as my baby.
Alexander:I know you do. That's why I never told you the situation he's in. Now about his fate. Alexander looks at everyone in the room seriously.
Alexander: Kajah is...the next demon god that will end this world.
