Chapter 3 - Portal?

It took them a few hours to get to the lake on the mountain. She said on Sesshomaru's back, "This is really Mount Akagi...the only thing missing is the manor and the camp ground for survival training." He had an ear positioned to show he was listening and stopped at the lake to let her off and get a drink.

She slid down his fur as the others horses stopped before a few of the men left to check the surroundings. She walked around a little before Laxus flew to her and bowed, "My Lady, We found a place that we believe can go to your world. We have tried to go through but, we are blocked by a force field."

Sesshomaru said with water dripping from his snout, "Are you sure they aren't scared or too weak to enter?" He looked at Laxus with a sneer that showed his contempt.

Laxus frowned, "If you're so confident, you go try it puppy, none of us can go through. I may not be a space magician but, I do know enough to see that we can't go through. It's possible only master can go through."

A screen popped up and said, 'Portal? go through the portal to Earth and gain 1 squad token and 500sp.' She blinked after she read it making it close.

She said, "let's just take a look first and then decide on what to do." the two nodded and took her over and as she moved to touch the forcefield the portal sucked her in. She then heard the men yell, "Master!!!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When she woke up, she looked at her wrist that looked like it had a tattoo of a snake biting its own tail. She shook her head as she saw the portal back to the others. She moved slowly as her mind was dizzy. She then moved to go back and saw a pop up, 'Portal to Auran: open/close or go through.(closing will allow you to move the portal from one sides coordinates to another.) New ability unlocked, Mark: those given will be loyal, unable to harm the giver and gain permission to enter the portal.'

Liara was reading it and heard movement before she threw a note through. Once it had gone through she closed the portal.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Laxus grabbed Sesshomaru's yukata and said, "Why didn't you stop her? We can't go through there and we can't protect her over there." He was angry at himself for not being strong enough to follow her.

Sesshomaru said, "Master maybe weaker than us but, don't forget that she is an Amagi. There must also be a reason why we can't go." When he finished speaking a paper ball hit Laxus in the back of the head.

Laxus said, "Who ever threw that will get extra training." He let go of Sesshomaru and moved to pick it up.

An archer reported, "Sir, that came out of the portal." He pointed to the space between the two connected trees as the portal slowly dimmed.

Laxus quickly opened the paper and his brows wrinkled. He said, "Set up camp and patrol the area."

Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow before moving to look at the note, 'Gaurd the portal,' It looked rushed and he thought, 'it has masters scent but, it looks rushed. I hope master isn't in trouble.' He then moved to leave the area for a bit.

Laxus said, "Where are you going puppy? I know you saw masters order." He glanced back at him before he finished ordering the swordsman and archers.

Sesshomaru said, "looking at the territory, Dragon boy." He had heard Liara's mutterings and knew that she would like to make this place into their home.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Liara saw Cole running, "Liara run," She was a bit confused before running to Cole to help him up as he fell down.

Cole said, "Idiot, the elders found evidence that you killed Ren and have called a green light. The patriarch interceded and lessened it to capture but, we should go."

Liara's eyes widened, "Wait, what happened to Ren?" She put her arm around Cole and nearly had her knees weaken. She muttered, "I never..." her eyes started to sting as tears started to well up.

Cole said, "I know and I am sorry to say it this way...more so that I have to do this." He then smacked the back of her neck to knock her out. He said, "Sorry, they have Ben..." He then held her in a princess carry and moved to lock her in one of the prison cells back in the manor.

When she woke up, she was in a chair and tied up. She thought, 'System, can I use the tokens in this world or just in Auran? Can I use the mark on my summons?'

*Ding, you can use tokens and do you want to use the permission tab on the portal?*

She said, 'yes, use the token...preferably not summon them in the same room.'

*Ding, Using summoning token, Congratulations on getting the Ezio and a squad of Assassins.*

She exhaled and just waited for them to come for her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ezio and the assassins appeared in cover with their eyes closed. When Ezio opened his eyes a flash of light appeared in his eyes as he activated the eagle eyes, "Someone caught Master Liara? You guys watch the surroundings; I will find out what happened."

One of the assassins said, "Master Ezio, aren't we supposed to gaurd Master Altier's crypt? With all due respect sir, why are we serving someone who easily got caught."

Ezio said, "We don't know what happened and why she was caught. As for why we serve her, she allowed us to have a new life in a new world. Even if she can't fight, that in itself should earn some respect." He gave a side glance to the assassin who questioned him before he moved to investigate.

He landed on a roof and heard from a couple apprentices. One said, "Ugh, did Katsuya have to make training that hard? I'll be sore for a week."

The other said, "Longer man, you didn't hear about Lil being a kin killer."

The first one joked, "Kin Killer, who are they saying our sweet little black sheep killed, one of the elders? Ancestors knows how many times they denied any of her ideas."

The second one sighed, "Those ideas were good too, my daughter said that she wanted to be a doctor yesterday. I didn't have the heart to tell her that she couldn't due to the clan rules."

The other clan member patted the second members shoulder, "Sorry man, we all feel that pain; that's why a lot of us lower branch members want her as the next matriarch."

The second member complained, "Unfortunately that may not happen; according to what I heard, she killed Ren. You know what that means."

The first member said, "What? There's no way she would do that, everyone knows that she loves Ren. She would often work part time jobs to be able to buy him and the kids stuff without using the clans money. As you said, she doesn't have the personality or talent to be a cold blooded killer; at most, she's a mama bear."

The second one nodded, "True, let's tell the other guys before the trial...knowing the elders, it won't be pretty."

Ezio thought, 'Master has a good impression to the outer members. If she is like how they described, it would be an honor to serve her. These elders maybe the ones who framed her...talk to Master first; this is her family business. At most, I will rescue her unless, she gives the order.' He then moved to find Liara.

When he got to her cell, he looked around to see if there was anyone around before climbing up to the window. He said, "Master Liara,"

She moved her head to look at him, "Ezio, I'd get up to welcome you but, knowing those pig headed donkeys probably set up some traps."

Ezio lowered his head as he saw her eyes were red, 'Master must've been framed, she is obviously grieving.' He said softly, "Master, I will rescue you from you here."

She whispered, "You'll have to be careful in doing so. My clan can easily take over a small country. According to the rules, they won't do anything to me until, the trial is over."

She stopped as she heard the door start to creak open. Ezio quickly moved to not be seen as she moved to look in front of her. Two men came in the door, "You can move around the room, former princess of the Amagi clan."
