Axis:Legacy

Chapter 23: Shut up Ren

(Prepare for an Image Song for the Chapter Later: Kataware Doki by Radwimps)

"So we have a few days until the wedding finally kicks off," Kyle told the others as they went and met up at the Library on the same spot as before a few weeks ago. Lissa's wedding is four days from now and they've prepared everything they can to stop the wedding of Lissa.

However, the problem is that the said wedding is a private matter with only the Ikross Family and the Ahrys Family therefore any party that wants to pull the 'I am Against the Wedding' card is out of the question. This means they have to crash a wedding knowing full well that they'll be facing some security who are probably also Axis Liberation Coalition Members.

"Now what?" Kyle said crossing his arms.

"Well, I thought of a nice plan for the whole event," Louis said with a confident smile, nodding to Ren and Oscar who had finally recovered from his Concussion who exchanged fist bumps. "Thanks to Ren and Oscar we were also able to get a background check on the security."

"Not to mention we have enough evidence to tip off the Military Police about this," Jun said with an equally confident smile.

"I guess that leaves us to deal with one person left then," Ester commented as they all glanced at Thomas who was burying himself with more and more books as the days went by. When Ester asked him about it, he's just doing some extra credit work from someone. Of course, no one believed him simply because they all know full well that he's just trying to distract himself from the problem, but none of them decided to intervene.

"We should go and talk to him later," Kyle said in a worried look causing Petra to nod and stand up only for Kyle to stop her.

"We'll do it," Kyle interjected as she was about to go and do just that, this only caused Petra to simply shoot another worried look at Thomas one more time and sat down with a disappointed sigh.

Later that evening, Thomas let out a yawn as he crashed on his bed. He glanced at the Wedding Invitation on his desk and frowned, he found that in his room a few days ago implying that whoever sent this wanted him to come.

"For fucks sake," Thomas commented as he placed it on the trash bin. "I don't even want to go there in the first place."

He heard a knock at the door, he raised a confused eyebrow wondering who would go and visit him at this time. While he had his suspicions he opened the door nonetheless and found Ren, Oscar, Louis, and Kyle waiting outside the door.

"Uh hey?" Thomas asked slightly confused as he let them all inside.

"So what's up?" Thomas asked hoping he can figure out why are they here, all of them exchanged looks as if waiting of one of them to make the first move with Oscar looking at Ren, prompting Ren to look at Louis, who then forced him to look at Kyle who simply stared at Thomas.

"Okay, I'll be blunt then." Kyle sighed as he crossed his arms and looked at Thomas. "We're helping Lissa stop the wedding, and we're wondering if you want to join us or not."

"I understand what you mean," Thomas said with a nod opening his terminal showing the files that he got from Ren the other day. "But why are you guys wondering if I'm coming when really I'm–"

"Oh for fuck's sake," Oscar threw his hands in the air and began to leave the room. "He's giving us the whole 'we're not even friends' bullshit, I'll be right back."

"Look Thomas, I understand that you're 'not friends' with her," Kyle said fighting the urge to make a quotation mark gesture on the word not friends as it's quite obvious that the two view each other as more than that. "But think of it this way, will it sit well on your conscious knowing that she is married to an ALC operative and that they only need her for her family's wealth?"
