Chapter 4 - Endless Night

Months later

Ray: I will keep training and get stronger to enter the Mythological Group

Subaru: More missing children.

Touken: All of them in common have incredibly powerful abilities like ours.

Subaru: Felipe said they wanted strong people for the group, now training children to be obedient.

Felipe: I refused and was almost killed.

Touken: They haven't contacted us yet, only Felipe.

Subaru: Maybe they will soon.

Who could be the next target?

Touken: Someone who has demonstrated a power worthy of being theirs.

Felipe: We can't go against the hypothesis that Ray and Emily are in the crosshairs too.

Ana: What are the 3 experts doing that aren't at the meeting?

Felipe: Ana, we were just talking about hypotheses.

Ana: I may be 6 years old but I know very well that you guys don't want to be at the meeting and they invented yours.

Tell me what are you seeing there?

Felipe: Missing persons.

Subaru: We're connecting everything to find out more.

Ana: Any good results?

Touken: Almost nothing, but we're going.

Anna: I'll help you.

Felipe: You're Ray and Emily's classmate, aren't you?

Ana: Yes Senpai and even so I was chosen and I became your disciple and those two there.

Subaru: Those two over there...what's it like?

Touken: Calm down Suba, they are a couple.

Touken whispered in Subaru's ear and pulled him to a corner to leave the two alone.

Felipe: I didn't even think about running away, I'm not Ana's boyfriend.

Ana: You two are confusing things.

Subaru: We didn't say anything.

Touken: I didn't see anything.

Ana: Touken, I know you well.

You too Subaru.

Subaru: We've only known each other for a few months.

Ana: Don't underestimate a girl.

Oracle

Chalder: Miss Emily, it's all set, come with me.

Emily: Okay, take me to the priestess temple.

I'm a little nervous, the priestess never calls me.

Chalder: There's nothing to fear, she's her mother, you can call her that.

Emily: I still don't feel so comfortable.

Chalder: Priestess, your daughter is here.

Priestess: Enter Emily.

Emily: Mom...why did you call me?

Priestess: Do I need a reason to see my daughter?

Emily: What are you saying mom?

Priestess: I know it's a burden to have to be who you are, that's why I contacted the Kushiba Family, they told me there is a way to make you normal.

Emily: Is it even possible?

Priestess: Yes.

I ask you my daughter, do you want to be normal?

Emily: I don't know, if that's a burden I have to carry, I'll gladly carry it.

Priestess: I don't want to force you to be what you don't want to be.

Emily: Alright mom, I want to be the Goddess of Fate.

How many girls want to be Storyteller Class and can't because they're not compatible with the Goddess soul.

Priestess: You don't look happy, Emily.

Emily: It's not that I'm not happy, it's just that I'm afraid of being one of the Order's victims.

Priestess: Daughter let me pamper you a little, come closer and put your head in my lap.

Emily: It's different mom.

Priestess: Just come my little one.

east forest

Ray: I'm going to get more, more, stronger than that.

???: Boy, do we have a proposal for you.

Ray: Who's there?

???: My name is Archiboldo and this is my companion Aruak.

Aruak: Be direct Archiboldo.

Archiboldo: Join our organization.

Ray: Organization!?

Archiboldo: We are members of the Order, join us, we need your power for a new world order.

Ray: You're going to die.

Aruak: The boy wants to play.

Archiboldo: We don't want to hurt you.

Ray: I will kill you and be accepted into the Mythologic Group.

Aruak: I'm going to finish this kid right here.

Archiboldo: Don't hurt him too much, he has to be conscious to change his mind.

Milestones: Felipe, Subaru, Touken, Order members were seen heading to the eastern forest.

Touken: Isn't that where Ray is training?

Felipe: Damn it, Ray.

Ana: I'll let Emily know, go ahead, I'll go with her then, the more people together the higher the success rate.

Subaru: Ray you idiot.

Let's go Felipe, Touken we can't be too late.

Ray: Double mirror cut.

Aruak: The boy is dangerous, but how long will he last?

Ray: You won't run away.

Oracle

Ana: Emily, Ray is in danger.

Emily: What are you talking about?

Ana: I don't have time to explain, the Order is after him.

Emily: Ray...behind Ray...I can't lose him.

Thought: (Ray will be there soon)

JP: Those 3 left and didn't even warn me.

But what is this?

Subaru: Ray you idiot don't fight alone.

Ray: What is this place?

Aruak: We took...

Ray: So it was a trap.

Ray was surrounded by many Order mages who fired their spells at him.

Ray: The real name of my technique...Saber Light Dancing

Ray cut all the spells with his sabers and it looked like a beautiful slashing dance faster and faster, but he didn't avoid being hit by some spells that passed straight through, Ray didn't just cut the spells but also the opponents using mirror cuts

Aruak: Dakoha.

A blast of orange energy came out of Aruak's fist, wounding Ray and leaving a hole in his chest.

Emily: RAY...

Felipe, Subaru and Touken immediately go up to Aruak who dodges jumping into the sky and there Feiling used an ultraviolet ray to blind him and make him fall and Subaru and Touken boosted Felipe so he could cut the enemy

Right after leaving a large wound on Aruak, Felipe kicked him in the back and Subaru used the shadow spears to pierce while they still could.

Touken used the double cut of the wolf's fangs which consisted of attacking twice in constant several times and in different ways.

Elsewhere Oushas and Ooki fought as well, Ooki always using his tails to pierce or launch 9 orbs of blue fire and from time to time he used the flames that came out of his mouth to burn the members of the order.

Oushas: We're almost done, let's close soon and help our masters.

Ooki: I've never had so much fun, we knew how to choose our masters well, they are strong, dignified and treat us like friends.

Oushas: When my master dies I will ask him to take me with him.

Ooki: I hope he allows us to rest.

Oushas hurled black energy spheres at enemies and shadow thorns in addition to using his claws and fangs.

Ooki: Let's go back, Felipe and the others might need us.

Oushas: Hai.

Emily: Ray, talk to me...let's go Ray...Ray

Emily could hardly say a word from the shock she had to see Ray dead, she was crying desperately and couldn't speak any more words.

Felipe: RAY YOU IDIOT, YOU WANTED TO BE MY RIVAL AND BEAT ME...WHY DIDN'T YOU LISTEN TO US AND AVOID COMBAT?

IDIOT...

Subaru: Ray you ass, we warned you over a thousand times...we could be together as guildmates...

Touken: Damn...damn Order members, you will pay.

JP: Guys...Ray...

It can't be... not Ray... the Order can't stay in pune.

Emily: I will make myself strong so that no one else is killed by the Order.

Ana: Because it had to be you Ray...

Felipe, Subaru, Touken and JP: I will end the Order.

That night it felt like the day would never come, but even with the dawn it was still dark for those who lost their friend
