13 Chapter 13: Past history and future goals

[PoV: Richard]

Filled with happiness I watch how the fary like woman awakens and Gaukler eagerly opens the coffin. ''My Hell, my Hellena! You are finaly back!'' Shouts Odin with unbound feeling in his voice. ''Odi?! What happened? I can remember us relaxing with Maria in front of the fireplace?!'' Asks the highly confused Hellena while struggeling to get out of her coffin. ''I remember. A lot has happened since then.'' Answers Gaukler his happy mood vanishing. ''Where is Maria my little girl?...'' Asks Helena panicking. ''It has been more than 20 years since that snuggling in front of the fireplace.'' Answers Gaukler highly depressed. ''I don't want to interrupt this lovely reunion but I too am back to life.'' Says Lith that just pushed open her coffin. Clothed into blue cheerleader skirt, a partly unbottened white dresshirt, white stockings, a light blue tie and a blue suit vest she looks like a comic book character to me. Unbelievable happy i speed to her and lift her out of the coffin. ''Lith!'' I shout out hugging her tightly. Only after a minute or so do I realise that Lith is lightly smiling at Helena that is now loudly cursing at Odin. ''What do you mean 20 years? It has only been a minute ago that we were in the living room! What the hell happened to me and my daughter?!'' Screams the ferry at him an he only holds on to her in her tirade. ''How about a good strong drink to ease all our nerves? Than we all have a long talk. Ok?!'' I say still hugging Lith tight to Helena when she is taking a deep breath.

A minute later we all sit in Odins living room taking little sips of very strong liquor exept for Lith who is downing it like water. ''I think we all should greet each other...'' Cuts Odin the impending silence looking around and getting the evil eye from Helena who is sulking in the sedan. ''... Very well than I will do the introduction first. I'm Gaukler Odin, auch bekannt als Arkanist Derby Tee. I'm a former User of district 101. My ability is making deals that always come true. And my lovely NPC here is...'' ''Fuck you lovely NPC. Where is Maria?'' Beginns Helena again shouting hysterical and jumping out of her sedan but is forced to sit down again by me. ''Okey than its me next. I am Lilian Rice. 'Lith' to my friends. I am a former analyst for D.S. I'm 28 years old, 1,82m tall and my wight is 75kg...'' Starts Lith her introduction out of the blue and is interrupt by me. ''I think that is enough for now Lith. So I'm Richard 'Silencer' Hill, I'm the User of district 117, Liths User and my ability is this gauntlet. Gaukler will you please tell the lady's what we did?'' ''Very well but this will take a while because I will start with your death Hell...'' Says Odin with a sorrow full voice to Helena that seems to listen.

-He basically is saying that 20 some years ago Timber found him, Helena and Helenas daughter Maria. He tortured Odin and executed Helena after he had worked on her for a while. Out of sheer luck he hadn't found Maria. Maria after some time found the then crippled Odin and the dead Helena. From that day on Maria lived to kill Timer and destroy the Empire. For Helenas benefit he talks a lot about Maria growing up and her inevitable leaving Odin. She became the NPC of another User to fight the empire. Odin remained here to make deals with Variants in hopes to find an User to bring Helena back to life.- At that point I interrupted him to tell a not impressed Lith what happened after Timber killed her. ''Sweet heart I know all that...'' Says Lith to my and all present persons shock. ''How?!'' Is all I am able to say before Lith puts a finger on my lips shutting me up. ''I don't know if you remember Helena but you too know all what papped. I'm a bit disappointed that you are so shocked about your daughter because you seemed happy for her when we last talked.'' Says Lith to Helena totally disappointed with her. ''What do you mean Lith?'' I ask Lith but she only looks at the Helena questioning her ignoring me. ''I think I get what she says Silencer...'' Answers Odin my question. ''They are both NPCs bound to Users. They don't die like other people they were in a world in between life and death. There our NPCs must have met. Helena doesn't remember because we brought her back to life via time reversal so her time there is erased. This isn't the case for your Lith because she came back through my power of deals so no time erasing for her. She must remember all she experienced in this other world.'' Explains Odin full of confidence. ''100 gummi points for Mr. Skeleton!'' Shouts Lith close to my ear jumping like a rabbit. ''What did you see there?'' I ask Lith but she only shakes her head saying. ''That is my secret.'' ''Ok. That's enough talk. I want to see my daughter now so Gaukler where is Maria?'' Helena asks jabbing her finger hard into Odins chest. ''She is up there with Coen.'' ''What Coen the little green monster has my daughter?'' ''She isn't as small as you remember but yes. She is with him.'' Answers Odin her. ''Good then we go up to the districts and find her. You owe me Bones!...'' Commands Helena Odin and us pointing her finger at Lith. ''... What about you two? Timber killed her, too.'' ''We are in. That Bastard broke my neck!'' Answers my NPC while pouting and grinning evil. ''Wowowo. That guy has an advanced army of monsters on his side. Without massive logistics we are out mened and out gunned. That would only be one massiveslaughter like the time he took over my district.'' I state with a bad feeling in my mouth. -With better ods I would be the first to fight.-

''Oh come on. You are super strong. You only lost to Timber because of me. I can vow that I will not become a damsel in destress this time around.'' Trys Lith to convince me. ''I didn't think about the tiime after reviving Hell, but I too want Timber head on a platter. How about a little deal my friend?'' Asks Gaukler giving me a bad vibes. ''Oh no. I have seen what your power can do.'' I say to him giving him my most stoical face impression. As a reaction all three of them brace into a heart felt laughter making my mood even worse. ''Oh come on pumpkin. I have seen you fighting Timber. Don't say you don't want to have a rematch.'' Baits me Lith with a sexy smirk. ''I don't care what you do but I go up there to find my daughter and strangel that little green monster

I don't want to think what could have happened to my little Mary.'' Voices Helena her thoughts out loude. ''What would you need to fight Timber?'' Asks Gaukler now relaxing in Helenas sedan, pulling Helena into his lap. ''My gauntlet working in battle and an army!'' I say laughing reflexive. ''Deal. But first tell me the exact requirements so that I can help you.'' Answers Gaukler using his ability on me. -Fuck- I think while activating my gauntlet to look up the Ace-Stones requirements for upgrading.

+Gauntlet Update Requirements:

-Timecontrol [Whisper of Time]

-Roomcontrol [Fruit of Yggdrasil]

-Realitycontrol [Mirrow of Images]

-Lifecontrol [Heart of an Angel]

-Creationcontrol [Hammer of all Creation]

-Mindcontrol [Sorcecode of an AI]

+Gauntlet Combo's:

...

I show Gaukler the requirements and he only looks at Helena questionly. ''You are the history buff, not me and we will need their help to find Coen and Maria.'' ''Fine but remember your deal Bones... Ygdrasil should be easy we will have to use that tree to get up to the districts. Hammer of all Creation, Whisper of Time and Heart of an Angel no idear never heard of them.... Hm... Mirrow of Images could be of the second age and Sorcecode of an AI sould be of the current age. Until we go up I'm not sure if we an find any beside from a Fruit of Yggdrasil.
