Liberation Of Slaves!~ Ayato + Eternia

Ayato woke up in his log house with a paper on his face. He sighed while his eyes were forced to stare into the paper, and read every detail they could. It was a job sheet he had recently taken, which made him grin, surprisingly. It had been a long time since Ayato had done a mission, at all, and now he was assigned a new partner to take on yet another crazy adventure. Once he was up, Ayato did his casual morning routine before heading outside. He was clean and full of energy, at this point, with the warm smile everyone desired to see on his face. "It's going to be a great day." Ayato thought while he looked up, and saw that a unicorn was soaring through the sky. "A unicorn?" Ayato confirmed, full of curiosity, "It must be her."

While Ayato looked up, he placed his left hand just above his eyes to block the sun from his field of vision. His ring enhanced his sight as Ayato could see one-hundred kilometers into the sky, where he spotted not only the unicorn, but Eternia, as well. Ayato had to admit, she was quite cute, but that was aside the mission. The two were assigned specifically to promote liberty, and free some slaves, hence the name of the mission "Liberation of Slaves." Ayato waved cheerfully in the air while he saw Eternia, hoping to catch her attention. "Are you ready?" Ayato asked in a very loud tone, trying to get his voice across to Eternia from up above. Thankfully, nobody lived anywhere close to Ayato for him to bother.

Ayato sighed in relief when Eternia noticed him. His house was small, and isolated in a beautiful forest, with scenery that could easily distract people from the old-fashioned establishment. Albeit, now that Eternia had seen Ayato, the two could prepare to start the mission. "I'm good, thanks!" Ayato replied. He was so surprised to see someone so excited to complete a mission, especially a dangerous one like this. He had not seen much of Eternia in the guild, but figured she had not been on a mission in a long time. In fact, Ayato had not heard about most of the guild. So many people were absent; it infuriated Ayato.

The boy looked up while Eternia offered a ride, and smiled even more warmly than before. "It'll take a while to get there by foot, so I suppose flying is a good idea!" Ayato commented. He still had to speak loudly due to Eternia being so high up in the sky, which is why Ayato also gestured her to come down. The excitement on Eternia's face made Ayato feel more confident about the mission. If Eternia felt excited about the mission, then chances are she was prepared, just like Ayato. Ayato, however, had always approached missions with support; a talking sword and talking book in hand. Elizabeth was usually his partner to complete stuff like this, though Ayato didn't mind having a new one for this job, in particular. This mission was unique, anyway, and was distinct from the typical take-down missions Ayato had participated in. Heck, while he thought about it, this mission was going to be a blast. Maybe doing stuff like this was fun, after all.

Ayato smiled cheerfully to Eternia while she helped him up, and onto her unicorn. She seemed really nice for someone Ayato hardly knew. In fact, it wasn't long before Ayato assumed the two could become great friends, seeing as they cooperated quite well. He listened to Eternia while he sat upon the unicorn, and imagined having to hug her this entire ride. "I think I'll be just fine, but thanks for the heads-up!" Ayato replied. He carefully placed his hands on the unicorn's sides to maintain his balance while the unicorn flew towards their desired destination. Ayato looked around, wanting to reach his hand out towards the nearby clouds, though fearful as he didn't want to fall off the unicorn. "Everything looks amazing from here!" Ayato commented, "Thanks for the ride, Eternia!" The moment got even more quiet while the two were sightseeing until Eternia brought up a good question.

"My magic is called the Story of the Sword." Ayato remarked, "Basically, it uses this book to use spells from this sword. The book and sword can also talk, but with me only." Ayato revealed the Sixth Sense (the book) and the Elucidator (the sword) to Eternia. His legs wrapped around the unicorn firmly while he did this, still assuring Ayato would not lose his balance on this beautiful creature. Ayato was unsure how to explain how he used his magic until he had an epiphany. He had flashbacks of past fights he had been in, and recalled all the usages he made from both his book and sword. "Together, these two items can use really interesting techniques. For now, I only have a set known as Chapter One, which allows me to manipulate others' magic, then proceed to strike them with my book or sword." When Ayato ended his say on his magic, he listened to Eternia's speech about her own magic. It seemed more interesting than his, though once he realized both of their magic abilities were more supportive, a grin appeared on his face. "We'll make a nice team!" Ayato added, "Just have faith in me, okay?" Ayato laughed softly after this comment, a warm smile on his face, indicating that he really trusted Eternia. He hugged her briefly as a sign of thanks, then heard her speak about her interests. Animals. Now those were something Ayato rarely saw, surprisingly.

"Mmmm...Delicious!" Ayato commented on the unrivalled cookie.

Ayato was surprised when he saw Eternia's eyes widen after what he said. Was his magic really that interesting? He placed his book back in his jacket, then slid his sword back into its respective sheath. He was glad someone thought so brightly of him and what he could offer. When Eternia complimented his magic, he blushed a bit, specifically after Eternia blushed, herself. "I know what you meant." Ayato clarified, hugging Eternia softly, "Your magic is much sicker than mine though." Ayato intentionally used this adjective particularly to make Eternia feel more comfortable around him. It was understandable for Eternia to think he wasn't so good with slang, anyway- he never seemed to use it that often.

While the unicorn descended, Ayato saw two groups of people. One of these groups were just ordinary citizens, looking as happy as ever, and enjoying every second they lived in this country. The other group, however, was much harder to see, though from what Ayato could hear, this group seemed evident towards the case Eternia and Ayato had to deal with. Once it hit the ground, he saw Eternia jump off and offer him some support. Ayato grabbed Eternia's hand and helped himself off the unicorn. "Thanks!" Ayato remarked. He liked the amount of appreciation Eternia was showing him, and kept it into account for future meetings. After this, Ayato overheard Eternia's little conversation with her unicorn. So the unicorn had landed here due to the darkness both of them saw before the unicorn came in contact with the ground's surface. It was then Eternia asked him a question, of course. "Let's go..." Ayato replied, walking slowly towards the dark houses nearby. He came to a sudden stop, however, as he could heard the sudden sound of whips and screams. He could not see where these sounds were coming from until he saw one person headed for the water to his left. The man was only in undergarments, and bruised all over. "So this is what we're dealing with..." Ayato added in anger.

Ayato gasped silently when Eternia suddenly pulled him and Roxy behind a tree. He peeked over, and saw that Eternia had her eyes closed, and was not moving an inch. "She's scared..." Ayato thought. He sighed in relief, his anger fading while he knew these sort of emotions would not help him in battle. He walked carefully back towards Eternia, and placed his hand on her shoulder briefly. "I'll be right here if you need me..." Ayato remarked, "Just call my name from the sky, and I'll be there!" Ayato had never been in such a predicament before, and was glad his partner had the bravery to deal with the situation, anyways. While he thought she would be scared from her past reaction, Ayato saw that Eternia was actually confident in taking the enemies down.

"To the water we go." Ayato declared once Eternia ascended into the air. The two were well-prepared, it seemed. Eternia was going to distract the group of crooks, while Ayato would take them down as they were focused on her. Ayato gently and quietly unsheathed his sword, then dashed towards the enemies carefully while Eternia called out to them. Though assaults with swords seemed brutal, it was the only way for Ayato really knock this group down. Swiftly, Ayato slashed through the enemies from behind, and left severe wounds in their body. "Not vital, but enough for them to stay down..." Ayato commented. The rest of the group was now focused on Ayato while he attempted to annihilate everyone distracted by Eternia, initially. Surprisingly, the group stood up again, and surrounded Ayato with ten men. "UNSHEATHED SEEKER!" Ayato cried while in the midst of ten consecutive D-Ranked spells. This spell, alone, created a black hole countless meters above Eternia and himself, ascending all spells inside of it at extreme speeds. While this process averted the group's eyes, Ayato slashed through their chest, then stomped on their backs to assure they would not get up again. He was panting heavily, seeing as all of those hits together would have knocked him out in one swing.

Once he was finished, the black hole disappeared, and Ayato began to run towards the beach. "Follow me!" Ayato commanded, heading for the desired location. A cheerful expression rested on his face while he triumphantly raced towards where the two would be strong. He really liked this new partner of his, and was more than confident that the two would complete the mission. "After this, let's go celebrate with a treat, alright?" Ayato shouted, attempting to send his voice over to the distant Eternia. Unfortunately, more enemies were to come, but Ayato was ready. That spell was only the first in a series, anyway, and the black hole was still open to what would be the rest of the slavers' regret. Blue Pegasus was not a force to be reckoned with, after all. "Let's go, Roxy!" Ayato cheered, awaiting Roxy to pick him up so the group was entirely airborne.

While Ayato hoped to race towards the beach alone for laughs, Eternia suddenly picked him up while she flew by with Roxy, causing him to laugh softly. He parked himself behind Eternia while the two were on the Unicorn again, and headed more gracefully towards the beach. On the contrary, while they flew, more slavers passed by, though none had noticed the three together. It was strange? What exactly were they doing? Ayato noticed a ship ahead, where slaves were gathered, and stared with clinched teeth. So this was their plan. They were going to ship the slaves elsewhere, probably to torture them further for personal gain. Thankfully, Eternia had pointed out that she had more expertise with water nearby, which was exactly where they were headed. The two, along with the unicorn approached the scene slowly while Eternia spoke to Ayato again.

He laughed more hysterically towards her commentary, seemingly unable to really get specific about what he had done with the previous set of slave drivers. "I promise I'll work together with you for the rest of this mission!" Ayato replied cheerfully. He even hugged Eternia from behind to show his care and affection, "We're going to be the best team, right? And we are going to finish this mission with pride!" Ayato added. Once the two had both made their comments, they immediately focused on what was ahead. Ayato had to eliminate that ship, though there were guards and more threats surrounding it. This was when Ayato thought about having Roxy descend so the other two could approach the scene even further than they were, currently. "Get ready." Ayato informed, "We're about to engage in battle." Ayato prepared himself with his book and sword to hopefully rid of the guards and other threats. Nobody deserved slavery, even if they were Dark Mages. Dark Mages deserved imprisonment, though at least they would be nurtured enough to survive, unlike these slaves. Ayato just had to eliminate the ones responsible for putting these men under great pain. He looked over to the dolphins who wanted their attention. Dolphins. One or two had to be some of the dolphins he and Hikari visited a few days ago. "We'll come see you soon!" Ayato cheered towards the adorable creatures.

Ayato stared with disgust towards the five clothed men the moment Eternia had alarmed him of what was ahead. The two, along with the unicorn, were caught from their hopefully-stealthy maneuvers, and at this point, there was no escape. Ayato and Eternia would have to deal with more and more enemies until the leader appeared. Luckily, from what Ayato could see, the leader was not too far from these enemies before him. Ayato hopped off Roxy and landed firmly on the ground while he saw Eternia run off in the opposite direction, probably to take on Mages with swords and guns. Guns! How would she be able to survive those? Albeit, Ayato had to have faith in his partner, no matter what. "Just so you know, while you five men stand before me, there is no way you two are getting to her, nor are you getting through me, at all." Ayato confirmed, a smirk on his face. He could feel the magic inside of him during this time, and it felt weak. That last fight had taken a lot out of him, and once this fight was over, the boss would surely be informed of the losses his men had suffered. The only problem was Ayato was not aware of the magic these men possessed, nor could his book, strangely.

Ayato charged strategically towards the five, though once he did, the men had suddenly assembled themselves around him. Ayato felt more threatened by this new formation. Just what exactly were these men up to? Ayato gasped when he found out just exactly what these men were capable of. Wind-Make, Water-Make, Fire-Make, Lightning-Make, and Earth-Make; these men were all Molding Mages! Ayato grinned, surprisingly, and planted his right index finger over the point of the Elucidator, awakened to take on these Mages. A drip of blood began to spread over the blade before it tainted it completely. "Timing" The Sixth Sense spoke, "There is no way you are going to survive an assembly of Molding Mages unless you know exactly when they plan to expel their magic. Also, keep in mind that you are in the center of their assembly." This was when Ayato figured that these men would all execute their magic to clash upon a single point, and have it all collaborate there. Ayato stood still, and took into account when these men would all begin to cast their magic. Once he caught them all place their hands before their chests simultaneously, Ayato bent his legs, and prepared a jumping motion. The magic was unleashed, and Ayato immediately sprung himself off the ground. A clash of all five basic elements were seen below him for a split second, though once Ayato landed gracefully upon the ground, the first round of magic was over. Instantaneously, Ayato launched himself towards one of the Mages, and slashed him across the chest with the Elucidator, covered in blood. The blood sunk into the wound of the other Mage, and poisoned him with the power of Ayato's lineage: Pride of a Mercenary. This lineage would leave the Mage immobile, though already defeated for the remainder of this fight, and even feel a decaying effect in his reserve as the battle proceeded. Before the second Mage could counter, Ayato assured he was already before the other Mage to pierce his sword through the center of the man's chest, having him kneel to the ground in defeat, as well. He turned back to the other three Mages, a wild smirk on his face. "As I said, there is no way you're getting past me." Ayato concluded, the still-lively Mages angered.

While the still-lively Mages seemed in the midst of using their magic, Ayato gasped. Eternia had suddenly appeared before him, and was already attacking these Mages. He sighed happily, realizing that Blue Pegasus did indeed care a lot about its fellow guild members. However, while Ayato hoped to side with Eternia during the fight with the three remaining Mages, he saw that she was pushed away by an Earth spell. Ayato clinched his teeth, angry just as his opposition was to see his partner hurt, even for a brief moment. On the contrary, while he continued to watch, Ayato confirmed the hit seemed to have little to no impact on Eternia while she took care of the remainder of his problems, all three Mages down. "That was amazing, Eternia!" Ayato cheered, "However, next time we fight, let's do so together, okay?" Ayato nodded, a passionate smile on his face specifically for this great companion of his.

Ayato took Eternia's hand soon after the fight was over, particularly due to what he saw ahead. All of the slaves were still being drawn towards this ship by two men only while this ship seemed prepared to take off soon. So this was the objective of these slavers, huh? From what Ayato expected, these slavers were probably attempting to leave Fiore with the slaves, and continue to use them for their personal gain, but why? Ayato just had to accept the fact that there were messed up people in society, and he had no choice but to fight them off to give them their rightful consequences- that is if he found them red-handed, of course. Ayato continued to run with Eternia in his grasp while he discovered that one of the two was not a man, but rather a woman. She possessed guns, while the other possessed cutlasses. Ayato heard a telepathic shout from his book as it seemed to explain something quite important. "100 miles per hour!" Ayato thought fearfully in his head. He quickly sheathed his sword for a moment and looked through the mission profile. His eyes widened while he found out who would be one of the targets for one of these two leaders- these had to be the leaders, anyway. Ayato looked behind him to see all previous opponents unconscious, meaning there was no way they could escape.

The two stopped close to the ship before Ayato had a quick shift in movement. It was the male, Carver, who- if the profile mentioned correctly- would come after Eternia immediately! She was the strongest between the two, after all, and it seemed Carver had the ability to detect it. Eternia had taken most enemies out, anyway. However, just before Carver could even dare to make contact with Eternia with his incredible speed, Ayato swiftly unsheathed his sword as a defence before the charge, and clashed blades with Carver. His feet shifted back heavily, though not to the point in which Ayato would begin to bend forward, as a result. In fact, to assure himself safe, Ayato planted his feet into the ground to keep them more secure. "First Mate...Carver." The man spoke before he launched himself away from Ayato. "Eternia, prepare yourself!" Ayato shouted, her hand already released from his grasp before the clashing of two swords, "Carver likes to go for the strongest, and the strongest only! You are his target!" This was when Ayato saw the Captain from afar, preparing her gun. "Scarlet!" Ayato yelled.
