Chereads / Prophecy Failure: Mr. Reckless NOT Harbinger of Death / Chapter 10 - Chapter III - Knell Begins (3/3)

Chapter 10 - Chapter III - Knell Begins (3/3)

Magpie felt dizzy and had no vision of what was going on ahead of her. She held her head and got up screaming; the ice around her rose up forming different blade like structures, thoughts running through her mind as snow falling down a mountain. She spun around like a spinning top and the blades slashed through all the Psycho-blades around her, putting them down instantly.

Magpie fell down to the ground with one hand on her head and other lose on the ground. Few Psycho-blades were left out somehow in between the massacred bodies of hundreds of Psycho-blades. Seeing their one chance, they rushed at Magpie as she helplessly had collapsed onto the ground, trying to figure how many were left out in her blurred vision.

"Whoa… not so soon guys," voice of a guy came.

The Psycho-blades looked around confused of who it was, so did Magpie. She spotted two guys, the tall guy came running towards them and punched down one Psycho-blade. The other guy calmly followed and stood beside the tall guy. Magpie couldn't make out their faces as her vision was still blurry.

"Well, we sure have missed the major part of the war here. This part will barely be the straightening of the odds," the second guy said and took out a sword from its sheath, from behind him.

"That is for armours," the tall guy said.

"As long as we win, doesn't matter," the second guy said readying for battle.

"Whatever," the tall guy said and took his sword from its sheath.

Magpie lowered her head and tried to relax and catch her breath. The two guys charged at the remaining Psycho-blades and won with ease, thanks to their skills. They put back their swords into the sheaths and walked towards Magpie.

"Trying to fight girls, those…" the tall guy said, trying his best not to curse.

"Well, powerful ones even, I mean, look at the dead bodies around. Those ice-things would have got us if we had come any sooner and we'd be fallen alongside them," the second guy said pointing at all the dead bodies in the snow.

"Yeah true," the tall guy took a look around and then looked at Magpie. "And beautiful girls…"

"Not the time," the second guy sighed.

"Right," the tall guy said and bent down to Magpie. "Hey, you alright…? You seemed… well, you seemed like many things. The point is, are you okay?"

"Yeah…" Magpie said still holding her head. "Not really," she sighed and shook her head.

"Well, we are here now, it will be alright," the second guy said.

"Who are you both?" Magpie asked looking at both their faces, the tall guy was right ahead of her and her vision slowly started clearing.

"The time for introduction will come. First let us go get your friends," the tall guy said lending his hand to Magpie.

"My microphones are damaged. We must get there before it's late," Magpie said, grabbing onto the broken microphones from her ear.

Mana, Nightrale and Kara stood in front of (brute) Psycho who was fallen down. The other two Psychos were dead and fallen just at a distance.

"Where is our friend?" Mana asked forming a blade from her disc and placing its tip right ahead of Psycho's neck.

"Funny," Psycho laughed. "You killed the other two and kept the real one alive… how pathetic!"

"Or just because you don't die," Mana said.

"Oh, that again… As much as I love my experiments, this one failed. I made weapons but even weapons break of course. Immortality is the one thing which can't be bought into existence," Psycho said. "All you can do is prolong this madness, but even it isn't permanent."

"But, the queen left you alive because you can't die," Kara said.

"True, she left me alive. But her lies start at the second part. Her blades… so many things you can form from them and she made a prison for one?" Psycho asked.

"True, you could fit half a dozen in such a cell, but she knew you are strong enough to escape it," Nightrale said.

"Oh please, I got beat down by the three of you fair and square. I can survive forever unless broken down and the merciless queen could have easily ended me," Psycho said.

"But she didn't… why?" Mana asked.

"Her love… she believed I could bring him back. He died in deep space and they found his body and kept it from decaying. She wanted me to make him me, and bring him back. In that prison I was with his body, left to bring him back," Psycho said.

"That's insane and so not true," Mana and Nightrale said.

"I already told you, I have no reason to lie. Nothing would I gain," Psycho said.

"Tacy is lost and the experiment is a success. The queen wanted to bring back the king and made you experiment on a dead body. We must believe both of that?" Kara asked.

"As hard as it sounds, it is true my War-Queen," Psycho said.

"Thanks for the name but we broke up so don't call me yours," Kara said with a straight face.

"Well, one way to find out is we slash right into you. You die, and we realise," Nightrale said stepping forward.

"I have one better," Psycho said and raised both his hands.

A white bubble like structure formed and covered Psycho. Psycho smirked at the three and just a second later screamed up his lungs. Before the three could react to any of that, Psycho disappeared from his position.

"Where did he just go?" Kara asked running forward.

"I don't know…" Mana said staring blankly, dead ahead.

"Was that his experiment…? Could be, because he said that it is a proof too," Nightrale said.

"Don't just stand there! He just disappeared," Kara complained.

"Kara… we have no idea of this. So, calm down," Mana said.

"Guys," Magpie said approaching the three from behind, two guys followed her.

"Hey, you alright…?" Mana asked.

"She is fine, are you three alright? You faced THE 'Psycho'," the tall guy said.

"And we won," Nightrale said.

"Where is he?" the second guy asked.

"Well, he escaped," Nightrale said without missing a beat.

"Ok," the second guy said blankly.

"Who are you both?" Mana asked.

"Well, we both are Primevel warriors of Monsteruin. After our lead on one of our guys, Lanthalos, we found about a war on Pluto, by Psycho. We came here when the others failed on the decisions and fought among each other of who must lead to help Pluto. It's a very common argument between the Primevel warriors since we don't have our leader around," the tall guy said.

"Wow," Nightrale said.

"Well, as for Lanthalos-" Mana said.

"-we found him in the lab. As you tried to explain, I take it that you did that to him. Very good. But sadly he will live," the tall guy sighed.

"I remember there being three of you. Where is the other one?" the second guy asked.

Mana looked behind and found that Kara was missing from where she was before.

"Where did she go?" Nightrale asked.

"Trying to find Psycho," Mana sighed and face-palmed herself.

Kara finally reached a cave which was one of Psycho's known hideouts. The interior was visible enough luckily and she finally reached an altar with a stone-gem above it. Kara looked around for anything else but she found nothing there but the stone like thingy.

Kara went ahead and slowly picked the silver-stone up, as she grasped it tightly in her hands, a 'swoosh' sound alerted her. Kara quickly turned behind and could see someone fully covered in armour.

"Who are you? Another Psycho-blade…?" Kara asked summoning a sword and readying herself.

This sword was normal-looking, unlike the one Kara had before, against Psycho. The armour didn't even flinch for a bit and stood there lifelessly. Kara couldn't give it a chance and pounced holding her sword and got it down to the ground.

"This is where you talk!" Kara warned holding up her sword.

Once again the armour didn't flinch and Kara couldn't decide what to do, and stared into the blank eyes she could see through the helm.

Kara heard a sparkle sound and before she could react, the armour lifted its right arm towards her. A surge of yellow web-like energy left the gauntlet and hit her, making her fall back behind.

Kara couldn't move a muscle and could just look straight in front of her. She heard metal moving around and the armour reached her again and held a sword against her neck.

"I don't want to hurt you," voice of a guy from the armour came. "I have no idea what is going on, so you better tell me everything before I go reckless."

"I don't want to believe you. But you seem clueless," Kara said, right as she was able to move.

"I was in my college this morning and now I'm here suddenly… where am I?" the guy.

"You are from Aqua-I mean Earth?" shocked, Kara asked.

"Isn't this Earth?" the guy looked shook too.

"Welcome to Pluto," Kara scoffed.

The guy froze still for a moment.

"Tell me… everything," the guy let out a breath.
