Hero Faction

~17 September 2006~

We walk outside the wall of my city and look at the people in front of me, and as Carol says, there is a group of young people in front of our main gate waiting for us. To my left is Medea and Carol ready to fight if they decide to attack us. To my right is Mordred in her armor and Amelia with her Animal Partner, Popol, the Polar Bear.

"Welcome to Faysummit. What can I do for you people?"

"You are the leader of this land, no?"

"Why, yes. Let me introduce myself. My name is Lexian Vongola. Nice to meet you."

"Cao Cao, Nice to meet you."

"So. What can I do for you people?"

"Hmmm…"

I can see Cao Cao judge me using his eyes before smirking a little.

"We come here to invite you to join our faction."

"Oh? Do tell me about your faction."

"We are the protector of humanity, and it is our sole duty to destroy evil in this world."

"What is this 'evil' you are talking about?"

"Devil, Fallen Angel, or Dragon. Anything that can cause harm to humanity."

"I see."

And they work with the Khaos Brigade. Not only that, but they also decide to use the Ophis snake to increase their power. Hypocrite much?

"We appreciate your offer, but we decide to reject your offer."

"I see. Such a shame. Do you know something funny? I don't particularly appreciate being rejected. Georg"

Suddenly Georg begins releasing a mist from his body. A second later, the entire area near us began to change. The forest around us that is filled with a green tree begins to change into a depressing looking world that only has a gray color.

"Dimension Lost. A Longinus tier Sacred Gear. This is surprising."

"Heh. You have not seen anything yet."

Cao Cao then summons his spear to him while the others also summon their Sacred Gear.

"All of us are Sacred Gear, You know? So, do you still reject my offer?"

"Of course. After all…."

I take out my animal box and open it up using my ring to summon Lily. I also see all my guardians summon their Animal box except for Mordred, who still did not have her Weapon Box yet.

"We also have something to show off as well."

"Very well. Look like we can't have a deal in this negotiation."

"There is no negotiation, to begin with."

"Then prepare yourself."

I look at Cao Cao, who leaps away with his friend before Leonardo summons a monster using his sacred gear. Before the fight begins, I look at Mordred and say.

"Mordred"

"What is it, Master?"

"Do you see that blonde man in the back? The one that is wearing glasses."

"Yeah, what about him?"

"His name is Arthur Pendragon."

"I see, then master…"

"Go wild."

"With pleasure."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Mordred POV*

The man that has the same name as my father, huh? I guess I need to thank my master for this opportunity.

I activated my mana burst and charged at Arthur Pendragon. As I appear in front of him, I swing down my sword toward his head.

*Clank*

Before my sword could slice his head off, Arthur took out his sword and blocked my attack.

"Heh! You can block that, not bad! Now take this!"

I twist my sword and do a powerful round swing toward him. As he blocked my attack, I kicked him in the stomach strong enough to throw him away from me a few meters away. When I see him regain his footing, I throw my sword at him and charge toward him once again. When he blocks my sword, I throw a quick punch at him.

"Are you a swordsman? You throw your sword at me and use your fist in this sword fight?"

"Hah! Like I care! Everything is fair as long as you win!"

I kick him away from me before I take my sword from the ground and charge at him at high speed with the help of my mana burst.

*Clank**Crack*

As he blocks my attack, I can see his sword begin to crack. As he parries my next attack, I see Arthur leap away from me.

"Look like I need to get serious."

Suddenly I see him summon another sword. The sword appears to have a long enough grip to make it a two-handed sword with a round pommel at the end, and it also has a gold color cross-guard that slightly curves forward.

"Please meet Excalibur Ruler. One of the most powerful Holy Sword."

Wait, Did he say what I thought he would say?

"Excalibur? Did you say that is Excalibur."

"Of course, this is Excalibur. Excalibur Ruler if you want to which Excalibur is this"

Did this bastard say this cheap knock off dare to be compared to Excalibur? The same sword that was wielded by the perfect king of England? This cheap knock off is compared to the pinnacle of the Excalibur, the Sword of Promised Victory. The sword represents humanity's victory. The most beautiful sword the world ever witnessed. How can it be compared to this abomination?!?

"Don't mess with me!!!"

*Clank**Clank*

"How dare you call this abomination, Excalibur?!? Can't you hear them?!? Can't you hear the cry of agony?!? The cry of spirit inside that sword who begged to give them a peaceful death?!?"

*Clank*

I leap away from him, and the abomination then glares at him before saying.

"As the heir… Nay… As one of the knights of the round table, I can't see the sword my king wield turned into this abomination. I will destroy it!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Lexian Vongola POV*

Acha… It looks like Mordred is mad. I look at the crimson lightning beginning to appear in the distance, more specifically in Mordred location.

I snap from my thoughts as I see another light blast coming toward me. Seeing the incoming attack, I create a green shield in front of me using my Lightning Flame and block the incoming attack.

This is beginning to annoy me.

Leonardo Anti-Monster keeps coming back even after we destroy it. While the Anti-Monster that Leonardo created targets its enemy weakness, they can't find our weakness yet. Not only do we have unknown power but also something that did not come from this universe.

The Anti-Monster keeps switching between elemental attack and light-based attack. The reason they use a Light-based attack is that we have a half-vampire in here. While the Anti-Monster keeps spawning endlessly, I know that Leonardo will empty his magic reverse in a minute as we keep destroying his creation.

*BOOM*

I look at my side and see Mordred trashing Arthur in a fight. While looking at the distance, I can feel something warm inside on my chest. As I look at the remaining pacifier necklace, I can see the Storm pacifier begin to shine.

I see so that is why I don't feel my magic and flame did not get absorbed by Mordred. It looks like the pacifier is the one that supplies her with mana or something the same to mana.

Suddenly my intuition ordered me to duck low. As I duck low on the ground, I can see many elemental spells fly past me. I look at the person that fires these spells. It was Georg. The Vice-Leader of Hero Faction and the owner of Dimension Lost Sacred Gear.

"Tch"

I point my gun at Georg and fire the dying bullet at him. As I see his mist-like sacred gear eats my bullet, I know that my attack is useless if he can block it with his sacred gear. Seeing the situation, I put away my gun and called Lily to my side.

"Lily, Cambio Forma: Pistola di Cieli"

"Gao!"

After hearing my command, Lily began to change into a dual pistol with a flame motif on the back of the pistol.

As I grab the pistol, I immediately pull the trigger and fire it toward Georg.

I create a stone wall using my mist behind me to hold me from getting thrown away from the recoil.

I can see my attack fly toward Georg, who already creates a barrier made of mist. When my flame beam almost hit Georg, it began to multiply into hundred of flame beams. I can see the shocked face of Georg when my attack multiplied and hit him from all directions.

*BOOM*

While I can only combine three of my flame inside my regular pistol, however, with the Cambio Forma, I can combine all of my flame types into a single attack making it more deadly than before.

As the smoke begins to disappear, I can see Georg struggling to get up from my attack. What makes my previous attack dangerous is that it did not only make a physical attack but also attack what was inside their body.

Right now, I can guess that Georg's body begins to weaken because of my Rain flame, and not only that, I can also imagine that his mana begins to deplete at insane speed as my Storm flame begins to eat his mana. With the help of my Cloud, Sun, and Lightning flame, the other flame inside his body cannot be destroyed easily.

I pull the trigger once again and fire a finishing attack. However, before my attack could touch Georg, Cao Cao appeared in front of him and blocked the one that was coming from the front, and a wall made of the holy sword appeared around him to protect him from the rest of the attack.

"I'm sorry, but I can't let you kill my friend now."
