The Crimson, cautious hero (Author x crossover)

Chapter 6: Entering Alrest

"So Ishtar, may i ask why were you following us?" Scar asked calmly at the fuming, struggling goddess, who was nowhere close to get herself out. The water snake firmly kept her arms pinned to her sides, restrained her banana shaped boat and nullified her powers. "That i won't tell you!" Ishtar spoke haughtily .

"Then i suppose you can play with this snake for a little while. " Scar spoke with a sigh. "W-wait!" Ishtar spoke, panicking. "I will tell you okay? I was looking for something i lost, then i felt a huge power near here, so i came to check out." 

Scar closed his eyes and quietly groaned, cursing himself for not concealing his presence and power. Some of his power leaked out and alerted her. "Listen ..." Scar spoke in a low voice. "I would highly appreciate it if you keep my presence a secret here." Ishtar looked confused. Then laughed. So cocky, even when completely powerless and restrained. "You are just a human, you can't possess that power." Listarte looked annoyed. "I will have you know Scar is a sacred guardian!" She spoke proudly. "Wait..you are a goddess and he..is a sacred guardian? They exist?!" Ishtar was now visibly shocked. 

Scar groaned again. Just like Lista to give everything away! Ishtar....by with his clairvoyance, he realized that ishtar possessed a girl called Rin Tohsaka, the same as Ereshkigal. He knew she wasn't evil. However, he also found out he could bribe her to keep her mouth shut. 

"Hey, Ishtar..." Scar spoke to the restrained goddess who turned to him. Suddenly, he held out his hand, and a huge heap of beautiful gems appeared on the ground. Ishtar was shocked "Wha-wha-whattt? " She obviously was shocked seeing the huge amount of jewels. Her weakness. "That is the denial of nothingness!" She realized. 

"Oh, i created these gems accidentally with my power of creation...i guess i will just erase them." Scar pretended to sigh. "W-wait!" Ishtar screamed, panicked so many gems in front of her-REAL gems to disappear just like they appeared. She helplessly struggled against her snake captor ."Well, i can trust you to keep quiet about this, right?" Scar spoke, eyeing ishtar. She smirked. "Very well, Scar. You have my word. " Suddenly, the water snake dematerialized and she fell straight to the ground. "WOAH-" Or rather, into Scar's arms. Her face buried into his chest. 

Her face reddened, but it felt ..nice... as just she brought her face out from his chest, she noticed the three scars over his left eye. Where did he get that from? Is that why his nickname is "Scar? " These sacred guardians must have rough lives. 

"Anyway.." Scar spoke as ishtar blushed again. "I am leaving this with you." He gave ishtar a strange, multi colored crystal. "What is this?" Ishtar looked confused. "This is a trans dimensional communicator. If you ever get into a fix, just call me. I can travel to other dimensions and even back and forth in time, but only if i had been there once." Ishtar nodded. Wait, was he concerned for her? The very thought made her blush. 

"Anyway..i will cut this short for now. " Scar began, as he gave her a quick bow. Lista opened a portal as they both quickly entered it, and disappeared with the portal. Ishtar was mesmerized by scar completely. She looked at the communicator and the gift he gave her and smirked. Little did she know, Ereshkigal too received a communicator from Scar, and both the sisters and Rin was thinking the same thing.

He's mine...

"So are we starting now, or what?" Akhos asked, as Lista opened a portal to Alrest. Listarte and Scar had returned to Crystalland to pick up Torna and Lora. Malos looked, nervous, so did Jin. 

"Yes" Scar nodded. "Scar, tell me one thing" His attention shifted to the man with  white hair and mask. "Why do you wish to keep Rex and his friends out of this? They could be great help to us." 

"Yes. The Aegis's true power is formidable, especially with that boy you call Rex. But, he could be an obstacle."

"How so?" Mikhail had to ask. Scar sighed. "I have Clairvoyance at level 9 now. He is reckless, overconfident. He would stupidly try to either save the enemy or recklessly get himself killed, or worse, used as a hostage." "And our enemies are not as merciful as we think, right?" Patroka asked, remembering that Chaos master tortured people for his entertainment . 

"Yes. Shall we depart now?" Scar asked. When everyone nodded, he spoke 

"Ready....... Perfectly."

And then they all entered the portal.
