"What with this direction..... seriously... where is this???" Mary standing on the sea surface looking around her with doubt.
This.... doesn't look right... not right at all...
She took the papers in her pocket and looked at them with fishy eyes.
"huh? what now? turning black? What happened to Gray and Perona?" Mary looked at Gray and Perona's papers and wondered what does that mean.
But staying here won't explain anything, so she took Baccarat's paper and decided to find her first.
Apparently, she finally realized...
*RUMBLE*
After turning to golden lightning Mary disappeared from the place directly.
....
In another place, Legolas also had the same situation, but the difference is that he's already on his way to Baccarat's way.
"Meow...." A black cat was sitting on his head licking its pow looked at Legolas who just stopped moving.
"Well... Hope they are okay..." Legolas returned the papers back to his pocket and raised his hand trying to remove the cat from his head.
But the cat disappeared and appeared again inside his pocket showing only its head.
Legolas looked at this cat in his pocket while moving his face as if he's thinking of what is happening here.
If the other here, they will understand his look. Looks like Legolas felt challenging form this cat...
But after a few seconds Legolas couldn't help but sigh weirdly. This cat...
...
In a highway street somewhere.
A golden Ferrari was moving very fast.
Inside the Ferrari, there is a red-haired woman, with two green beautiful eyes.
In front of the woman, a few papers were moving to a few different directions.
*BRAKEEEE*
But suddenly the woman stopped the car violently.
"Turned black?" The woman looked at the two papers that turned black and kept silent for a few seconds.
Then she took a group of papers from her pocket and started playing with them.
After a few minutes, the woman looked at what the card showed her with wide eyes.
"Few years? one day?" The woman didn't understand what she just predicted.
*sigh*... but then she sighed with relief... At least they are safe...
As she sighed, from the space at the top of the car, a weird golden flame suddenly appeared.
With the flame appearing, a black sword suddenly appeared and cracked the space slowly opening a rift in the void, then another red-haired woman came out.
Baccarat came out from the car and looked at the woman who just appeared with a peaceful smile on her face.
"Yo... Tauriel... you're safe.." Baccarat looked at Taureil with a wicked smile on her face.
Hearing Baccarat's words. Tauriel's eyes twitched but soon, she sighed and came down to her side.
"How is it? Are the others okay?" Tauriel didn't plan to fight with Baccarat for now but asked about everyone's situation.
"Of course everyone is okay... I even gave Gray my kiss of luck, will something wrong happen to him?" Baccarat looked at Taureil and said with a more wicked smile.
"-_-*" Hearing Baccarat's words again, Taureil who was trying to ignore this fact, suddenly got angry.
After coming to the main world, Baccarat was so worried and scared at first.
This is a new world for her, so she doesn't know much about it besides what Mary told her before.
But she's not the same Baccarat before meeting Gray, the first thing she did was to see if her bad feeling was still there or not, but weirdly she actually felt a great relief even after being separated from everyone. As if it was the happiest thing she did in her life!
From this feeling, Baccarat knows that the sad thing that might have happened has passed safely.
In fact, Baccarat didn't realize how much she helped everyone.
Not only did she save everyone inside the nothingness.
Even after coming to the real world, she still helped to stop another possible disaster.
If... Just if she didn't think about it before and gave everyone luck cards, Gray wouldn't have been guided to Perona, and Perona might have been killed by the explosion in the forest where she was!
After feeling the ease inside her heart, Baccarat understood what Gray said before to her. Her ability can overpower the fate...
...
Baccarat as luck goddess, her luck was also good, the place she fell to was a big empty house beside an abandoned city side.
But in the garage of this house, she found a very nice looking car.
She drove a car before when she was in Gran Tesoro. So she simply found the key and drove toward the direction her luck leads her to. She didn't trust the direction the papers show from the beginning.
"Shameless..." Tauriel couldn't help but say while holding herself not to get angry.
"Was that his first kiss... I wonder.... but it was my first....." Hearing Tauriel, Baccarat wanted to annoy her more and said while looking up as if remembering what just happened before.
"*-_-*" Baccarat's words finally get to her nerves.
So Tauriel put her hand on Baccarat's shoulder and gave her a very nice smile. Then said...
"Don't talk about this in front of me again, or I'll do free surgery for you..." As she said this her eyes fell to Baccarat's chest
Seeing Tauriel's sinister eyes, Baccarat knows that she shouldn't tease her more.
...
...
...
Somewhere not far away from the place where the underground explosion happened.
From the void, a very beautiful tall blond woman, wearing blue jeans and a white top.
The woman looked at the explosion direction with her sky blue eyes, with dead fish eyes.
".... Can't the day pass without being blown to pieces like this...." The woman said with an annoyed voice.
"What happened there? is it the awakener's purpose? wasn't their purpose to take the crystals? What happened to my cute thing?" The woman put her hand on her face and wondered what might have happened to Gray.
If Gray is here, he will recognize her directly, not form her familiar face, but from the twisted way of talking while smiling as if she heard something funny.
"Nope... Such a cute thing, I don't think it will die easily... He should be alive..." After thinking for a few seconds, she said and smiled weirdly. From her tone, one can hear how sure she is that Gray is still alive.
...
...
Hero Base...
This is a very large base.
Around the base, there are great high walls covering the base from the outside world completely. And the area this wall cover is very large almost unseen.
While around the base itself covered by giant trees all over it, making a natural cover to the base.
If someone looked at the walls from the outside he will only think that base is safe.
But the moment you go beyond the walls you will find another completely new world.
A city... A completely normal city!
What is weird with this?
This is the apocalypse!
It's completely not normal to see a mother holding her children's hand smiling while asking him what he would like to eat for the dinner.
It's more abnormal that the streets look so clean, while people move around normally as if there is no threat to their life.
Clean street, high bildings, many shops. This place can be called heaven in the current main world.
Even Mary who originally came from this place. She will probably say; "what the hell happened here. This is not the Hero base I know!"
This place can't be called *Base* anymore. But City! A very beautiful city!
In the very center of Hero city, there is a huge ancient style building, this place is shining with life, a big lack, besides it, white birds moving in its sky, the soft sun coming down from the cracks of the white cloud.
It's a very beautiful place.
In the main hall of the biggest building.
This is a very big hall, with nothing but huge vail hiding the middle part of this hall.
*Footsteps*...
The hall-door was opened and two men walked slowly inside to the direction of the vail.
"Madam... " The one on the lead stopped and put his hand on his chest then bowed his body to the vail. From his words, it can be seen that someone should be inside this vail. And this one is a very important person, that he can only act extremely respectful to her.
"I have great news for you, Madam... This guy here said that he saw the child you told us to find not a long time before..." The man said respectfully.
"Find it...?" From the vail, a majestic but soft voice sounded.
After the sound appeared the vail slowly opened by itself, and the owner of the voice showed herself.
This is a strikingly beautiful tall woman, with a very long white colorless curly hair almost touching the ground. Her skin is very white as if there is no blood inside her. only around her closed eyes, some soft dark red can be seen. She's wearing a completely white snow dress, with some blue lines on it, covering her body completely, only showing her face and hands. She looks almost like a timeless statue.
Her left-hand holding saline stands supporting her to walk, while her right hand there is a very unique knuckles accessory. This knuckle accessory is so eye-catching because it's the only thing that gave color to this majestic pure white middle-aged woman. There are four green, yellow, purple, blue shining colorful gems that look so beautiful on her hand.
The madam looked at the man behind the one who spoke with her closed eyes. But this was enough to let the man behind to lower his head.
And this man wasn't anyone else, he's the young man who could detect energies...
"Tell me, what did you see....." The madam opened her mouth again and said with a calm and soft voice. But her word carried great pressure made the young man breathless. But also felt relief deep inside his heart...
The young man didn't dare to hide anything and said everything happened when they entered the cave, till they came back to the Hero city.
"Is it..." Hearing everything from him, she walked back to her vail.
Inside the vail, there are only a few things.
Chair, drawing stand, and a picture.
She took the picture and walked to the young man and gave it to him.
"Are you sure it's the same person you saw inside this picture?" The madam asked again.
Seeing the picture, the young man was frozen in his place.
What he saw inside was a very beautiful face, white-haired child, with bright silver eyes, wearing a dark crown on his head, with a very helpless smile on his face.
This is exactly the little Gray.
Looking at the picture for a few seconds he raised his face and nodded.
".... You can leave...." The madam didn't say much after knowing what she wants to know and let him leave.
After the young man left, the madam sat back to her seat and looked at the picture with closed eyes.
Then she waved her hand again and the picture changed to another...
