The group arrived at the motion cafe, just like the last time. The group stood back while Jens walked towards the door and started knocking on it.
Jens : "Nathan! Open the door, I have some information."
Emilia : "Jens! Calm down please... are you sure this is the right place?"
Angel : "It has to be, this is the only cafe in this district."
Jens : "Open the door, Nathan Harmonia!"
The door opened. Again, the green haired boy appeared.
Nathan : "Huh... Who are you all and how do you know my name?"
Jens : "That's not important right now, I've come here to retrieve her Insignia and to save both of you!"
Nathan : "Save? Felt! Can you come here for a second?"
Felt walked down the stairs and looked Jens straight in the eyes.
Felt : "Hah? What are y'all doing here?"
Emilia : "Well, I want my Insignia back!"
Angel : "If you return it to Emilia... I will not hunt you down and report your actions to the Kingdom Knights of today."
Felt : "Waa—"
Jens : "No! No! It's just like then! This— Elsa lady will come here in just a few minutes!"
Felt : "Huh? How do you know Elsa? Do you both work for the same employer?"
Jens : "No! But I know she's the Blood Hunter, and I know that she'll slaughter us all!"
Emilia : "Jens? Calm down, please... You're making me scared..."
Jens : "I'm trying to save us all. We have to act now!"
Nathan : "I guess your friend lost some brain cells because he's acting quite weird."
Felt : "Yeah, forget it! Why would I trust you, Jens?"
Jens : "Excuse me? I saved you from the three thugs!"
Felt : "Ugh! I had that under contr—"
Angel : "You were screaming for help if I remember correctly."
Felt looked irritated at the group.
Jens : "I'm done with this!"
Jens walked towards Felt and grabbed her arm.
Felt : "What?! What are you doing pervert!"
Jens : "I'm going to save you all!"
Jens pulled Felt from the stairs towards the door, however, Nathan came right in front of Jens.
Nathan : "Let her go."
Nathan grabbed a sword which was laying on the table next to him. He pointed the shiny tranquil sword towards Jens.
Nathan : "Maybe you wouldn't think so, but I'm actually pretty strong. Let her go and I won't hurt you."
Jens : "Please... listen to me for a second! I'll pay you double for the Insignia! Just come with me for a second."
Nathan : "Let Felt go, then we talk."
Jens looked irritated and released Felt.
Felt : "Kshh..."
Nathan : "So what's your plan?"
Jens : "I'm Jens. Follow me."
Jens, Felt, Nathan, and the others walked out of the cafe and stood behind a house next to the cafe.
Nathan : "Is this all?"
Jens : "We'll wait for Elsa to appear. What were the conditions for the meeting Felt?"
Felt : "Uhh... I'm not sure. One rule I remember was that she wasn't allowed to bring weapons with—"
Jens : "She had Kukri knives attached to her right leg! If I... prove it, will you return the Insignia and fight her?"
Angel : "Jens?"
Jens : "Wait a second Angel."
Nathan : "If she brings weapons with her, then yes."
Jens : "Okay, then we wait."
Felt : "Hmph.. how did you know his name by the way? And Elsa's?"
Jens : "I'm not sure... But I've got the feeling I already witnessed the event. I returned from my dea–——"
And then, the reality changed again.
Everything became pitch black, space became different, and time stopped. Jens couldn't breathe, as the air wasn't moving. Everything was covered in shadows like the last time, but this time, he could see everything and he was still alive.
Jens : "Ugh.."
Jens had trouble with breathing until he saw the shadowy lady again. She appeared right in front of Jens. She had the same dress, and her silhouette was still the same.
??? : "I.. love you."
Jens : "E..mil..ia."
While Jens had trouble with breathing, he still tried to reach the frozen Emilia. Everything around him stood still. It was as if time and space got corrupted and stopped working together.
??? : "Just... a little bit more..."
After the shadowy figure said those words, she threw a shadow spear right through Jens' heart. However, Jens didn't feel any pain, no, he felt immense fear and anxiety.
Jens : "Ugh!"
And right then, the shadows disappeared, and so did the shadowy lady.
Jens : "Ugh!"
Jens was finally able to breathe again. However, he still felt the fear that residents deep within him.
Emilia : "Jens! Are you alright?!"
Jens fell to the ground, as he lacked oxygen.
Felt : "What the hell is going on Nate?"
Nathan : "I'm not sure... but Jens isn't lying. He says stuff he knows..."
Angel : "What? How do you know if he's lying or not?"
Nathan : "My Semblance. I'm able to purify emotions, read emotions and even make people lose their consciousness temporally."
Jens : "Ugh... I'm fine sorry. Please trust me, I don't want anyone to die."
Nathan : "Hm... I like you."
Jens : "Thanks, I guess. Guys let's divide. Emilia and Pack, will go towards the northern district, Angel, and Nathan, will go to the eastern district, meanwhile Felt and I will stay here."
Felt : "But... this plan doesn't make sense! What if Elsa is here and the others are gone?"
Jens : "You've got two Mana Stones, right? What do those do?"
Felt : "They allow non-mages to use magic, like one spell or so."
Jens : "Then those stones are for us two. Emilia and Pack, create some kind of light if she's there. Nathan or Kanade, create a storm!"
Nathan : "Hmm... nice idea!"
Jens : "Alright. Let's go!"
Emilia, Nathan, and Kanade left.
Felt : "So it's us two, right."
Jens : "Yep... so do you mind me asking some questions?"
Felt : "Huh... what do you mean big bro?"
Jens : "Well... I'm not sure if you knew, but I'm quite new to Lugnica and all of this."
Felt : "WHAT?! You're from another continent?"
Jens : "No! Not like that... I'm uh... I'm not sure from where I am. I woke up today in the middle of the capital with no memories of my past except my name."
Jens sat down on the grass and so did Felt.
Felt : "Woah... that sucks, I guess."
Jens : "Yeah... I wonder if I have a family."
Felt : "Do you... seriously care about your family?"
Jens : "Well, I don't know if they're still alive or not, I mean, I'm still stuck with this amnesia."
Felt : "You shouldn't care about your family. Wanna hear a story that Nathan told me?"
Jens : "Sure! Go for it."
Felt : "When I was born, my parents didn't love me and... abandoned me in the slums, also known as the poor district."
Jens : "What? No, I'm sure they didn't abandon you because they didn't love you, Felt!"
Felt : "They did... my shitty father gave me another name before he dumped me in the back-alley. I don't know my actual name... but I've lived with the name 'Felt' for the past 15 years; that's what Nathan named me.
I grew up with him, he raised me, there is nothing more precious than Nathan for me."
Jens : "I'm... so sorry for asking..."
Felt : "Haha... no, it doesn't matter. You know, you're different from the others. You're not a noble, not a knight, nor a mage. You're.. you! That really does make you special."
Jens : "Awh... Thanks, Felt. Sorry, can I ask you a question?"
Felt : "Yeah of course, sorry."
Jens : "You... have a Divine Protection, right?"
Felt : "What!? You even know about tha––"
Jens : "Yes! But listen, you should use that blessing at the start of the fight."
Felt : "Why though?"
Jens : "A little bit of trust, please?"
Felt : "I'm fine with––"
Suddenly, the door of the cafe opened. Felt and Jens jumped to their feet and stood up, Jens grabbed his sword and Felt grabbed her knife.
Felt : "Show yourself!"
??? : "Mmmhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh....."
Jens : "That's.... her voice."
??? : "I'm sorry that it took so long, I had a problem in the Eastern District..."
Felt : "Wha..."
Suddenly, the gorgeous black haired lady opened the doors entirely and had a bag in her right hand, with a knife in her left one.
Elsa : "So... this gentleman somehow knew about my plan?"
Jens : "What's in the bag, Elsa?"
Elsa : "Here Felt! Catch, a little gift."
Elsa opened the bag and turned the bag upside down. Suddenly, a bleeding human head fell out of the bag. It was a male head with light green hair.
Felt : "N... No... NATHAN!"
Felt's eyes exploded with tears and her eyes became waterfalls of emotions.
Elsa : "He's a quite strong, good boy. Sorry, let me rephrase myself. He was quite strong. Haha."
Felt : "You... You bitch! How dare you kill my only family member!?"
Jens : "Felt calm down, I'll deal with her."
Felt : "No! She fucking killed Nathan! You're a crazy psychopath! I'll kill you, I'll defeat you!"
Elsa : "Big words for such a small kid."
Jens : "Ugh!"
Jens ran towards Elsa and swung his sword towards Elsa's head, however, her reflex was abnormal and even she even blocked that attack.
Elsa : "I've never fought against such a cute boy!"
Jens : "Just shut up already, you psycho!"
Jens grabbed a red Mana Stone and threw it towards her right her, luckily, the impact created a huge explosion.
Felt : "Jens! Are you there?"
A couple of seconds later, the fog disappeared and Jens appeared with Elsa gone. Jens walked towards Felt as his left arm was entirely burned. Jens fell to his knees and then right on his face.
Jens : "UAGHH!!"
Felt : "Jens! No... No! Hang on, wait... please! I'll find some help.
Jens : "Felt..."
Felt : "Shut up idiot! Don't die... Give me the other Mana Stone!"
Jens didn't move and closed his eyes. He wasn't dead though, he lost his consciousness. Felt grabbed the blue mana stone herself and smashed it, creating a huge blue aurora light.
Felt : "Please... don't leave me too..."
??? : "How unlucky... we had such a great deal."
Felt turned around and she saw an injured Elsa.
Elsa : "You... little brat. Give me the Insignia and I'll let both of you live."
Felt : "..."
Elsa : "TALK!"
Felt : "Fuck you... psycho"
Felt spat on the ground and grabbed her knife. Again, she dashed forward with hyper speed. However, this time it was insane, a huge hurricane appeared couple meters southern of the fight.
The weather started to change and it started to rain. Felt disappeared into thin air and appeared behind Elsa, she teleported in a blink of an eye. However, this time Felt succeeded in the cutting of Elsa's right arm.
Felt : "Die!"
Felt was still floating mid-air because of the amount of mana in the atmosphere due to her blessing. She tried to kill Elsa, but Elsa successfully blocked that attack with her teeth.
Felt : "What?!"
In the meanwhile, Jens started to regain his consciousness and stood up.
Jens : "Fe... Felt!"
Felt : "Watch out, Jens— this woman is crazy."
Elsa : "Crazy? No... My Prince is the one that hired me, he's behind all of this. All I have to do is act and fulfill my purpose. That's how a Blood Hunter hunts! I'm the Hunter, and the Crazed Prince sends me the orders!"
Felt : "I don't fucking care about——"
Elsa : "Watch your mouth kid, or else I'll have to cut off your tongue too.
Felt : "Look who's talking with only a single arm left."
Elsa : "Oh this? It doesn't even hurt. Fun fact, nothing hurts. I'm a Vampire, after all."
Jens : "Fe... Felt go—— away please."
Felt : "Jens please, run——"
And right then, Felt's head got chopped off by Elsa's flying dagger that she threw with her teeth.
Jens : "N— No!!! FELT!"
Elsa : "How sad. I mean, your friend did have more courage then you've... coward. He would never see something in you?"
Jens : "Who is... "he"?"
Elsa : "Oh my... it's quite late. Let's slaughter you and the others like animals!"
Elsa grabbed her knife and opened Jens' stomach.
Jens : "F——"
"Fuck! No! No! No! I'm gonna die... I'm getting cold, I don't feel my body... The only thing I feel is pain... it burns!"
Elsa : "My my! Your blood really does have a unique color."
Elsa sat down on her knees and tried to look as close as possible in Jens' eyes.
Jens : "Go... to hell... bitch!"
Jens spat right in her face.
Elsa : "Ugh... I have more to do than wasting my them with you. Now I have the Insignia and killed——"
Jens couldn't hear the end of Elsa's sentence, as that was the moment that, Jens, officially lost his life.
