Black Clover Broken Hope

The Town Where Nothing Happened

Chapter 1

All That Was Left

Asta could not accept it. He didn't want to accept it. But he had to face the cold truth. He was dying. "Heh... so much... for being... the next... Wizard king" Asta coughed out along with blood, he could only taste the metallic red liquid and feel the chains wrapped around him as well as the blood that was seeping rapidly out of his chest and mouth. He could only hear the cold laughter of Revchi and the cries of his brother Yuno who was yelling at the top of his lungs, begging Asta to keep fighting yelling he was his rival and he could not lose.

 A few hours earlier Yuno received his four-leaf grimoire and was already on his way to becoming the next Wizard King leaving his brother Asta in the dust. However, an ex-magic knight named Revchi ambushed both of them and bound Yuno using his chain magic, and also said he was going to sell Yuno's grimoire to the highest bitter. At that moment Asta stepped in to try and help his brother but was instead impaled and now being severed to death by the mage's chains which were wrapped around Asta, not only crushing the poor lad but also the sharp ends digging and tearing at his flesh. All the meanwhile Yuno could only watch helplessly as he saw his brother get eviscerated.

SNAP!!!...CRACK!!!...POP...

The vicious cycle and rerun 

 'Sister...Lily, I guess I won't be able to marry you huh... Father thank you for taking care of me when I needed you'

 Asta thought peacefully as his vision began to fade from colourful to cold grey. The pain was now gone for some reason, him only feeling a cold embrace

 'Nash... Hollo... Recca... Aruru... I guess I won't be able to see you all grow up but I know you are all going to be the pride of Hage village alongside Yuno one day'

 the once-proud glow that radiated hope from his green orbs died replaced with a pale glass green 'and Yuno. You better not die and join me anytime soon, I hope you become a proud Wizard King that will change everyone's lives and make sure I'm remembered. Huh, it's funny I never thought I would die this early, HA! What a funny thought'.

 With that being said in Asta's head his heart gave one final thump before his body went limp and his vision turned dark. Yuno kept crying out Asta's name as his rival and friend collapsed on the ground lifeless, he kept pulling on the chains that bound him together hoping to get free but it only tightened around him leaving imprints on his arms and torso. His eyes then turned to Revchi the fallen magic knight was repeatedly kicking Asta's dead body. Revchi turned to find the four-leaf grimoire gone from his belt as it was pulled by wind magic until it was caught by Yuno who was brimming and shaking with rage,

 "YOU MONSTER! YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT!!!" Yuno roared in anger as his grimoire opened up to a spell that was begging to set loose to avenge Yuno's brother and rival

 "(WIND MAGIC: TORNADO FANG)"

"THIS IS FOR ASTAAAAAA!!!!!

 A violent horizontal tornado blasted towards Revchi who tried to make a barrier using his chain magic but found it useless, the chains snapping into tiny metal links and he was devoured into the vortex before it curved downwards and slammed the fallen mage into the cobblestone ground shattering the stones.

 "Huff... Huff... I... I... I did it" Yuno panted before falling onto his hands and knees and vomiting on the pavement, due to using to much magic in that attack, any more and he would suffocate and die. He wasn't done though, on shaking legs he made his way to Revchi was in a crater and was still breathing. Yuno gritted his teeth in pain and readied another spell to what? Kill him? Yuno was no killer, but... this man had to pay. He had to pay for killing Asta. With a shaking hand and what little breath he had left "(Huff... W-Wind Magic: Wind Blades Shower)" a few blades made of solid air floated above Yuno's quivering hand ready to stab the fallen mage to hell. But he stopped when he heard a cry behind him

 "Yuno! Asta!" the voice cried,

 Yuno turned to see their caretaker Sister Lily rushing towards them before enveloping Yuno in a tight hug, tears streaming down her eyes "Sister... Asta... Asta he's" Yuno stuttered as he fell to his knee's and pointed a shaking finger to Asta's corpse lying in a puddle of blood.

 Lily seeing the dead body of the orphan who proposed to her hundreds of times screamed in horror and sadness, "Asta. Asta" she scrambled towards him, cradling the boy's pale head in her lap not caring the blood soaking her nun uniform, she quickly opened her grimoire and summoning her water magic, most likely to heal him, 

"Asta... please... come back to us... please... If you come back... I swear... I swear I'll marry you... so please... come back"

 she whimpered her hands glowing with magic, at this point the rest of the children from the orphanage had joined them. Nash, Aruru, Recca and Hollo also hugged Yuno but paled in horror when they saw Asta's corpse and cried when they saw that Sister Lily was trying her absolute best to try and bring him back, they all knew it was too late but no one had to courage to tell that to Sister Lily who was still trying to resurrect Asta,

 she literally was pouring all of her magic onto Asta, and so far all of his scratches, wounds, and injuries were healed and his body was restored back to normal besides the shredded clothing, but no matter how hard she tried Asta's body still remained motionless, devoid of life.

 When Father Orsi came to see what happened, Yuno explained all that had transpired, Father Orsi nodded in understanding before making his way over to Sister Lily "Lily. Stop. It's too late"

 he said with a sad tone, his hand brushed over Asta's cold face closing the boy's dead eyes. Sister Lily had passed out from using to much magic so Yuno had to use a little of his wind magic to carry her while Father carried Asta in his arms, the group passed through the streets of Hage, on their way back to the local church orphanage people were staring with looks of pity and sadness, memories flashed through Yuno's mind at the sight of a similar tavern, when he and Asta were young a drunken man had snatched Yuno's prized possession, his pendent and ranted that he was going to sell it for more booze.

 Then Asta stepped in and fought to get it back, even though he got hurt that didn't matter to him. But the memory only brought sadness not joy or happiness to Yuno now that Asta was dead. He could only prepare himself for the Grimm future ahead of him without Asta by his side. As the sun set below the clouds and rain poured down. he was snapped out of his thoughts by the sound of something heavy landing on the pouring pavement. he crouched low and picked the object up. It was a grimoire, but it was tattered and filthy and didn't look that much like a grimoire, but what got his attention the most was the symbol of a five leaf clover on the centre of its front cover. He didn't know why, but he kept the grimoire as he joined the other children to prepare for Asta's funeral.
