Chereads / The Ancient Story: Saviour In A Broken Reality / Chapter 20 - The Fallen And His Queen

Chapter 20 - The Fallen And His Queen

Vanny fell asleep for 30 minutes after experiencing something unexpected, accompanied by Lania who continued to hold his hand.  Finally she woke up from her sleep and began to open her eyes.  

"Lania... What happened to me?" The first question Vanny asked.

"Vanny, I'm really worried... You suddenly fainted." She says what happened. 

Vanny looked at her own hands, she realized that her body was starting to not be able to last long. 

"It seemed like there was just a little bit left before this body would be destroyed." Vanny muttered to herself.

"Don't talk like that, you must be fine. This time you overdid it, you shouldn't have had to use such a powerful force to blow up the building." Lania said that with worry. 

"If it's not like that, the artificial creature will run loose everywhere. (Tries to get up from bed.) I can't let that happen." Vanny said that while putting on a serious face 

"Don't force yourself to get up yet. You still need a lot of rest..." Lania was still holding Vanny's hand to stop her from going anywhere. 

Seeing Lania who was really worried about her, Vanny reduced her selfishness a little. Vanny lay back down on her bed, she tried to relax her body for a while. 

"Vanny, may I ask something?" Lania spoke to Vanny in a hesitant tone. 

"Hnn??" Vanny responded to Lania. 

"About that night, you met Zephyrus... Did you plan all that? Besides, why is it that when you meet her you seem used to it, even though her aura is not at all comfortable?" Lania asked about the night they met Zephyrus. 

"Hmmm... I haven't said anything since then... Actually the meeting had been planned, but meeting 'her'... It was a coincidence," said Vanny. 

"When are you planning that?" Lania asked again, 

"OK, I'll tell you everything. But I won't force you to believe me or not," said Vanny, holding Lania's hand tightly. 

"It all started 3 years ago. In that place, all the truth was revealed, both about my little sister and also about the truth of everything that happened to the Ancient Warrior."  

"The Commander and I found an old file containing an important report written by my mother which revealed that XAG had a special research objective on the Prince and Forgotten to mate them and hope later will give birth to a child with new power, plus when my sister changed reality and erased her existence. The further XAG supports the idea."

"Knowing the truth, Kanna was shocked to learn the truth that all this time I had a younger sister whose existence had been erased. I was also surprised to learn that my sister deliberately changed reality by manipulating people's memories so that they would never know that she actually existed. I always thought that my sister was dead when my mother said that she was gone. It was very surprising that my mother and Bella actually knew this fact." Vanny revealed the truth about her younger sister, which Lania was still asking questions about because of the ambiguous information. 

"From there, all of us except me knew that XAG was a vile organization. Kanna became very hesitant to trust XAG further and Hiro tried to help me to restore the changed reality by any means."  

"But in the end Hiro and Kanna had a long argument where Kanna didn't agree with Hiro's plan, in the end Kanna gave in because she knew Hiro could never be argued with." 

"I'm still so shocked to learn the truth that I don't know for sure what they were arguing about. That was the first time I felt deep despair. Until I lost my confidence and enthusiasm for life."  

"Until the war is going on, I just want to quickly close my eyes. Thinking about ending my life, until I almost died..." 

"At that time there was an enemy helicopter shooting at me. I, who didn't realize I had been shouted to dodge, still didn't do anything until Hiro suddenly came to protect me from the shot.  He was seriously injured in the stomach and lost a lot of blood.  I realized that I immediately took him to a safe place. And that place is where we met Zephyrus that night."

Lania began to realize the storyline of how they came to meet Zephyrus that night. 

"When I tried to reduce the bleeding and tried to get help, Hiro stopped me from going anywhere. That's when he revealed everything."  

"Revealing about what?" Lania asked curiously. 

"Aren't you confused? Since when do I have this power? And why do I have to use special medicine every time I use this power?" Vanny asked, showing a sad expression.  

"Don't tell me..." Lania began to realize something she had never imagined. 

"That's right, Hiro is the first reincarnation of my power, the storm lord, The Volt." 

"Hiro secretly never showed that power and only Kanna knew he had that power. And at that time, in order to ensure that power did not fall into the wrong hands, he bequeathed it to me. But this power is actually not a match for me..." 

"This power is not completely bonded with me, making me the second human hybrid to inherit the power of the Ancient Warrior after my younger sister."  

"By inheriting this power, I was able to see Hiro's memories, and apparently I just found out why Kanna had argued with him, it was because Kanna was actually Hiro's girlfriend. And Kanna doesn't want anything bad to happen to Hiro." 

"That's why my relationship with Kanna got worse. Because as soon as Hiro died, I was very angry and took my revenge against the enemy troops, blowing up one of their battle fleets just like I blew up the SIN building earlier."  

"Hiro's death gave me a new way of life, where I will uncover this truth and justify it with the power that Hiro entrusted to me."  

Lania was surprised to hear Vanny's story. As if she couldn't contain the sadness she felt, Lania started crying. 

"And back to the point where we met Zephyrus, Hiro was the one who arranged it all. He already knew that he was leaving, by leaving a message for Zephyrus to meet me at the place of his death."  

"But with a condition, because Zephyrus was intangible at first, he needed a Vessel to be able to meet me. And I didn't expect that the vessel she chose was Hiro's late younger sister who had died long ago."

"Mana Kamiya." 

Lania held Vanny's hand tighter, she began to feel mixed feelings. Lania never thought that apart from her family problems, it turns out that Vanny still faces many more problems.  

"Vanny, what are you going to do now?" Lania asked again. 

Vanny fell silent at the question. Dan looked at Lania with a look full of sadness and started to shed tears. 

"What do you think I should do? Watching all this, while following my little sister's game, taking the life of someone's lover, and becoming a leader while protecting his current life... What should I do?" Vanny smiled while crying.

----------

In the morning at Sanna's residence, she was getting ready to wear her academy uniform. With a new atmosphere, she also changed his hair style by tying the ends of her hair into two parts, right and left. Sanna saw herself in front of the mirror, dressed up cheerfully, giving a different impression than usual. Not long after, the door to her room was opened, a middle school girl came in and was stunned to see Sanna's appearance.

"What are you up to, big sister?" She asked Sanna defines her as her elder sister.

"Ah.. Just changing my hairstyle a little, I'm starting to get bored with my hairstyle.. What do you think?" Sanna asked her back.

"Have you met a guy? Wow, my sister now knows love." She teased Sanna.

"Nagisa..." She walks towards her little sister.

"Every girl has their secrets, One day you will understand how the circumstances around you have changed." Sanna patted Nagisa's head and smiled.

"I'm off, I'll be back late today so don't for dinner for me." Sanna left her room and went to the academy as usual.

-------

However, the atmosphere was different in the academy, all the students were looking at the notice board. The voices of people who don't expect what the news will bring in the morning. Takaya, who had just arrived at the entrance to the academy, was greeted by Ai who waved from a distance. As if giving a signal to immediately approach her. Without thinking, Takaya immediately passed through the crowd of people and approached Ai.

"What's with the crowd?" Takaya immediately asked Ai.

"Annabelle, disappeared 3 days ago." Ai immediately told Takaya the news about Annabelle.

"Huh??? How is that possible?!" Takaya was immediately shocked to hear the news.

"Like Kanon, he suddenly disappeared without a trace." Ai explained the similarities of the events that had happened to Kanon, Saega's younger sister.

"So, this can no longer be denied, the perpetrator is definitely one of the ancient warriors." Takaya immediately spoke slowly so that no one could hear him.

"It seems so... What do you think?" Ai asked Takaya.

"Call Asahi. This situation is getting worse. We will quickly look for them. I will talk to the principal to allow us to search." Takaya hurriedly left Ai to meet the principal.

"Hey wait! Where do we meet after this?" Ai asked Takaya.

"In your room!" Takaya answered from a distance.

Elsewhere, Asahi, who was choosing drinks at the vending machine, was also thinking about the sudden news.

"Annabelle.... Reported missing... Could this be the work of an organization? Or..." Asahi, who was talking to himself, heard a loud bang in the direction of the field. not only that, he heard a woman's voice speaking seriously.

Without thinking, she ran to the source of the voice and saw two women who were talking to Azusa, but seemed to be cornering her.

Both of them noticed Asahi's presence and turned for a moment to look at Asahi, before long they left Azusa with disappointed looks.

Azusa who saw Asahi stayed there.

"Azu? What are you doing here? They're twins, are you talking about something?" Asahi asked Azusa.

"Senior Asahi... Umm.. they...." Azusa seemed to have difficulty speaking to Asahi.

"Ahh... I'm sorry I asked something unimportant... You'd better go back to your class. Lessons will be coming soon-" Suddenly the bell rang, followed by an announcement for all students,

"To all students, we are informed that from today until the next week, academy activities will be temporarily suspended. You guys are allowed to go home early now. Repeat-" Suddenly the announcement sounded as if it indicated something terrible had happened.

Asahi had a bad feeling about this, and immediately took out his cellphone and surprisingly had several missed calls from Ai. Azusa also gets a call from Ai and realizes that they have been summoned. They hurriedly ran towards Ai's research room.

On the way he met Sanna and Saega who looked confused about the situation that was happening. Asahi approached them,

"Sanna! Saega, how right we met- Gehh!! What's wrong with you two?!" Asahi immediately changed the topic after seeing their changed appearance.

"Ahh... haha... We changed our hairstyle..." Sanna explained.

"Ahh.. I see.. You both look perfect.... No, you two have to come with me. Ai is calling us all! Come on!" Asahi grabbed their hands and ran away.
