The Last Story/ The Guardians: Chapter 2 - Part 2

New Spadetown

Ralsei guided Kris over to a crimson red curtain. Ralsei stepped away from the curtain, and let Kris look. Kris grabbed it and moved it to see the new kingdom.

New buildings were placed, kids were seen playing, soldiers outlooked the kingdom. It really looked like it was getting better for them!

K: In the time I've been gone, you made all this?

R: Yep. Castle Town has been made an army base.

K: But there's no threat! So why do you still have an army?

R: Remember Leonidus, my old general?

K: Yeah, he pulled his sword on me.

R: After you left, he was stripped of his medals and awards, and labeled as a traitor. He has since then, been making an army of his own. He's been seen making a base in the Catacombs.

K: Well, he's no Spade King. This should be easier work.

R: It isn't. In fact, it's been harder for the army.

K: Woah..

Just then, a monster in a polished black armor walked into the room.

?: Sir, Susie is awake.

K: Where is she?

?: She's in Room 187.

R: Thank you. You are relieved for today. I imagine your family is getting worried.

?: Thank you, sir.

The soldier walked of of the room.

K: You sure are a good leader.

R: You think so?

K: I know so.

Kris walked out of the room, searching for the room Susie was in. He took a right, where the 100 rooms were going higher. He finally got up to Room 187. He politely knocked on the door.

S: Who is it?

K: The knight in shining armor.

Kris opened the door to see Susie sitting on a bed. When she saw him, her face lit up and she leaped up.

S: It really is, my knight in shining armor!

K: I wasn't joking!

They both laughed.

K: It seems they've taken good care into your room.

S: It seems they have!

Kris pulled out the chair and sat in it.

S: Kris, you're scaring me. What happened?

K: It appears we have another threat. Leonidus, the old general, has decided to be the new asshole of the Underworld.

S: Well, we gotta be the heroes.

K: Yeah. Noone else will anyway.

S: Yeah. Let's just forget about that now.

Susie grabbed Kris by his armor and tossed him onto the bed..

4:15P.M.

Kris awoke in the bed, his memory catching up with him. He then looked over to his side, seeing Susie. The covers left only her head showing. He took a deep breath in, and out.

K: I'm never telling anyone about this.

A knock was heard at the door.

Susie wriggled around in the bed. Kris got up to see who was at the door. He opened the door, peeking only his head out.

K: Yes?

A guard was waiting at the door, the polished black armor beaming.

G: You're needed at the Mess Hall.

K: Ok, we'll be right there.

G: We also want you to know that we've heard every part of what you two have done.

Kris froze up in his spot. Kris could only respond with "Hmm" before closing the door. He walked over the bed and proceeded to push Susie.

K: Susie, we have to get dressed. We have a thing to go to.

S: Noooo. I wanna stay heeeerree..

K: We'll come back here.. Just get up..

S: Ffffine.

Susie grabbed the sheets and drew them over the other side of the bed.

K: Your clothes are over there.

Kris pointed to the other side of the room. Susie jumped off the bed and walked over to grab them.

K: Fucking finally.

S: Been waiting on that all week, haven't you?

K: Well, of course I did!

Susie gave a small chuckle as she grabbed her clothes...

After they both got dressed, Kris and Susie walked out into the hallway. A comfortable silence surrounded them. As they reached the end of the hallway, they found the Mess Hall.

It was a large orange tinted hall with a large table reaching down to the other side of the room. As they asserted to the room, Ralsei walked towards them.

R: Kris, Susie!

K/S: Ralsei.

R: I assume you two are finished with the "Deed under the Sheets?"

Heavy blushing hit Kris and Susie.

K: I..why?

R: The doors aren't exactly soundproof.

Kris and Susie sat next to each other at the table with Ralsei sitting at near them.

R: Castle Town is under heavy watch since Leonidus has made his base in the Catacombs. We believe he's planning to attack there.

K: Need us to stop Leonidus?

R: Precisely. Bring him back alive, and all is safe. But before that, we need to contact our jester friend.

S: Jevil..

K: He helped us in the past. I don't see why he wouldn't help us now.

R: That's the problem. After the takeover, Jevil disappeared. We haven't found him since.

K: There's our plan. Find Jevil, protect Castle Town, and bring in Leonidus!

S: Wait, if we're finding old friends, where's Lancer?

Kris flashed Susie a concerned look.

K: True. Where is Lancer?

R: He was made a citizen and was given a home in a neighborhood.

Susie and Kris breathed with relief.

K: Good to hear.

R: I couldn't do anything else, really. It was that, or put him in an orphanage.

K: Give Susie the address so she can find him. I'll go find Jevil..
