Story/Chapter 40: Difference between revisions

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''... You've come. I knew you would. I mean, you're stubborn like that.''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''Sorry about that. You know, I was just going to let you go... But I can't have you interfering with the soul fragments. Don't worry, I'll make good use of this gem.''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''I'm not an idealist like you, father. You told me that the soul fragments of the White-Ghost King is scattered all across the land. How are we supposed to collect the soul fragments when we're stuck down here while the Garens have free range! Wake up, father. You can't revive the White-Ghost King. The era of the White-Ghost King ended ages ago. It's a shame you never realized it.''

*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''Haivan, you told us that you wish to be free to go up on land. We don't have to do this. We are not your enemy!''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''Aegirp tried to make a world where the two races peacefully coexist. When she comes back, you won't have to live like this! You ungrateful brat! Don't you realize that we're all trying to help achieve that goal?''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''I'm not an idiot like you, who believes what the White-Ghost King achieved is something great. Imagine trying to tape together what is already broken. It will be too easy to break it again. Useless trash, that barely looks fine on the outside. That's what the White-Ghost King created.''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''I don't need anyone. Especially not the White-Ghost King. Just look at the people here. They have the technology to fight, yet they hide away like a coward. They're just like tamed animals waiting for the White-Ghost King!''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''No. However, I can check the internal structure. Even that seems to have changed significantly though.... But all you need to find is the energy source. And that will always be at the center. As long as you stop the energy source, everything will stop operating.''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''You won't be able to approach the normal route, as the security system is activated at the moment. However, if you neutralize the sub security system on both sides and the central one on the top, it should open a pathway inside.''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''Please, trust me. The internal structure is more complicated than you think. Also... If you accidentally destroy a core part, the portal might no open. I will do my best to minimize the damage so please...... Please... My son...''

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''... I see. So you're checking the structure using the control device outside... Understood. Hey, the main power source is down there. Let's go.''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''Congratulations making it inside! I wonder if you can get through all the obstacles and take the gem?''

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''He said the internal security system strengthened because we approached the power source in an abnormal route. We need to destroy the medium that's transmitting the energy. We won't be able to deactivate the main power source without taking care of those first.''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''... Not bad. I was sure you'd be exhausted by now.''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''Not so fast. You think that's all that I got? If you want to take the gem, fine. But you better be prepared for what happens next.''

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''The dog outside isn't sure either. He could be bluffing, or he might be up to something. He said to take it, but he might have set up something. Like a self-destruction device...''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''... I want to take the gem. It won't change anything if we just stand around here and do nothing. Even if we regret it later, it's better to take action.''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''... Hey, sorry to interrupt your moment, but I can hear everything you say. Well, I gave you a choice! Don't hate me later, ok?''

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''Right now, the main power source is disconnected from the transmission device, so it's taking the energy directly from the gem. Without the sub units that prevent energy loss, we should be able to deactivate it as long as we exploit its weakness.''

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''I checked if we can operate the portal the moment we stepped inside. It looked vaguely familiar. We should be able to use it once we stop the stupid brat. Why are you asking?''

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''... Just in case? ... I won't stop you, but I'll decide. I don't entirely trust you.... ... So, where do I input the coordinates?''

*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''???:''' ''... It's not exactly what you promised, but still satisfying. The boy that resonates with the El... I didn't expect to see you here.''

*{{StoryIcon|Berthe2}} '''Berthe:''' ''Ah... Still alive, I see. Your words wound me. Afterall, weren't we comrades under the same lord?''

*{{StoryIcon|Berthe2}} '''Berthe:''' ''Kuahaha! I thought you might respond like that. But kin? Why should I consider you low breeds kin? I expected you'd show some respect for your betters. You'd think even a dog would know who holds its leash.''

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

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''... Hey, everyone. I have an idea. Gather around the main power source.''

*{{StoryIcon|Gaia2}} '''Gaia:''' ''I want to go, Master Ventus. I can't just stand idly by, after Master Denif and the priestesses have done everything they can to find the portal engineer. If only I've done my part... Then the El Search Party and Elrianode would have never been in danger in the first place...... And Laby...''

*{{StoryIcon|Denif}} '''Denif:''' ''Stop. It's no use blaming yourself now. The most important thing right now, is to bring the portal engineer to bring them back.''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''... No need to waste your time one them. They're just pathetic cowards. There's no way they'd ever be in your way, so why bother beating them?''

*{{StoryIcon|Berthe2}} '''Berthe:''' ''Kuhaha! Troops! Take this machinery. We'll head back to the capital.''
