Story/Chapter 39 Haivan: Difference between revisions

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''What did you say?!''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''They sure can't get along, can they?''

*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''Oh! Over there...!''

*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''Oh... Sorry! I was surprised to see the machines we saw earlier, but it doesn't look like its' working.''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''I see, so the machines we've fought were made here.''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''Yup! And we bring it here to fix it if it's broken beyond simple repairs.''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''Thanks to you all, we need to bring a looooot of them back here.''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''No worries, I break them quite often tweaking the machines here and there without father's knowledge.''

*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''Uuuh... But... We've completely destroyed most of them...''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''See? Just like those ones.''

*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''... Huh?''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''So I'll be under your care again, good luck!''

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''Damn it, why are the machines here as well. Hey!!''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Phew, I was surprised because they swarmed us out of nowhere!''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''Oh, you really are strong! I thought it was an exaggeration when father told me you've defeated the machines in the tunnel.''

*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''Add! Please! Please calm down!''

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''Let me... Go...!''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''I just thought you wanted some drama, so I played the part.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''I really can't tell if he hates us or not...''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''There's too many machines here for security purposes.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Maybe they need a lot of replacements because of the machine's life expectancy?''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''... What's that?''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''What are nasods?''

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''Don't reply to everything he says. You're falling for his scheme. Why are YOU asking?''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''Oh, I was just surprised how similar it was to here. This used to be an armaments plant too.''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''......''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''Hm? No, not at all. You heard how toxic gas is formed when we use icerites as an energy source?''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''There was someone who collapsed due to the gas. So we've closed down the factory and decided to find another way to fight the Garens.''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''Heh, if you're going to nag, I'd have to refuse. My life is already half filled with father's nagging and lecturing.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''(He seemed smart, but he's still immature.)''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''Of course. That's what they're living for. It's so barren here, you need something to hang on to, you know?''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''... I've been thinking, what reason do you have to revenge? You mention the war, but you weren't even born during that period.''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''Of course there's no guarantee, but let's think about it the other way. If the White-Ghost King is back, just like the adults dream, will we be happy?''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''If we are, how long would that last? Doesn't the White-Ghost King already have a history of losing?''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''Even if everything falls right in to place, it's not going to be the same as before.''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''Do you understand? The White-Ghost King is stopping everyone from moving forward. But you can't have that. You need to build everything with your own two hands.''

Even in desperate situations, there are those who strive to survive. Raven reflects as he looks at the remains of an aircraft.

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Elsword.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''What are you thinking about? Is it because of what Haivan said earlier?''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''... Elsword, I know you feel responsible for everything related to the El, but you don't have to worry about something that's yet to happen.''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''And remember that we're not the only ones working to make sure something like that never happens again.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Yeah. Even when the El was separated, there were many people protecting the El, remember?''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''The priestesses, Velder knights, Hamel knights, Caluso tribe members, people from Lanox, oh! And you can't forget the El Search Party of Ruben!''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''What? I'm always positive! Anyway, what I mean is, we'll always find a way, no matter what!''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Look, there's no El, or magic stones here, but they're still living their own way.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Of course, I'm a genius, remember?''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''(I can see that the demons here lived with hatred in their hearts.)''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''(But it's still amazing how they've managed to find a compromise in technology even with rage in the background.)''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''(I thought that was my path to redemption. I still stand by that belief but...''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''(... If I just had one ally who survived, perhaps this was the kind of path I would have found as well...)''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Huhu, Elsword finally matured. I feel so proud.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Then stop acting like one! Making us worried like that, hm?''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Oh, Raven, what are you thinking about?''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''... Ah, I was thinking that these machines should have enough parts to fix the refiner.''

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''And that's what I mean by amateur! You're never going to step foot on land that way!''

*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''Please stop fighting...''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''... Are they still fighting?''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Sigh... I thought their personalities clashed, but now, I think maybe they match too well.''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''I can't believe they're doing all their work, fighting like that. Looks like they're at the last stage of repairs.''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''Good, now let's check if it operates properly.''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''Anyway, are you guys really planning to save the White-Ghost King? I know my father asked... But your goal is the portal.''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''Once you go back... You don't really have to fulfill the promise, you know?''

*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''How could you say that! A promise made is a promise kept!''

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''What is your motive asking that question?''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''Yeah! Stop questioning my every motive! I was just... Checking in case you join with the Garens next time we meet!''

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''How can I not find him suspicious when he acts like that?!''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''Oomph! Now, if I just close the case... There you go! Let's run it!''

*''Clack Clack''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''Of course! Just watch my masterful work!''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''That kind of bravado reminds me of Elsword when we first me.''

*''Crash!! Grrr Crack!''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''Ugh...! What's that sound?''

The disturbance of the lower area of the abandoned factory cause the El Search Party to reassemble.

*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''I thought so too, since we were fighting machines all this time, and it carries a large machine.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elesis}} '''Elesis:''' ''The center had moving machines?''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Well, let' just say we learned Elesis's genuine side.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elesis}} '''Elesis:''' ''It's nothing!''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Huhuhu... What about the lower levels?''

*{{StoryIcon|Ain}} '''Ain:''' ''Nothing much. I did receive an important life lesson though.''

*{{StoryIcon|Ciel}} '''Ciel:''' ''Anyway, it seems we've collected enough icerite, but I wonder if the machines are still safe after the mess.''

*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''I believe so, since the machines at the center were fine? Oh! Where is Haivan?''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''Once the portal is running, you should return to Elrios. I will stay here.''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''... What?''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''... I'm sorry to go back on everyone's decison. But I didn't make this decision lightly. I've thought it over since I've suspected Aegirp's situation.''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''Why did you make such a decision?''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''Yeah, it's really sudden. Plus, we don't know what will happen when we operate the portal. We also need to move the White-King's soul some place safe...''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''Hm? Why are you startled? It's not like I'm parting with you. And I'll take care of the soul. That's what we initially agreed on, anyway.''

*{{StoryIcon|Ciel}} '''Ciel:''' ''No need to feel so sad. You're going to come back to the demon realm to find the Dark El, right?''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''Don't worry, it's just a short farewell. When you come back, finding the Dark El will be like going on a picnic.''

*{{StoryIcon|Ciel}} '''Ciel:''' ''We're not saying goodbye forever. We'll meet again soon.''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''We don't need to say anything. When you come back, you'll be stuck with us again.''

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''Both of you... Ugh... This noise...''

*{{StoryIcon|Chung}} '''Chung:''' ''Were you injured?''

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''I'm fine. I wasn't injured in battle. I must have overexerted myself.''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''It's going to take forever and a half to explain how the portal works. It's faster if I do it myself.''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''I did say it might be dangerous, but it should work properly. You just need to come and check. Wouldn't this be easier for you as well?''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''Leave it to me, I'm an expert!''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''Father, I'll take care of everything, so you go back and rest. Nichel? Take him back, ok?''
