Dark Elsword Part 2
Shortly after destroying Philomena to protect her allies, Shailyn arrived in her actual world by stepping foot into the ground, before searching for her house. By the time she got to where her house was located, she saw the house covered with a purple-pink color representing the curse placed by the cult she was going to face, in which she summons glowing dual swords, and aims at her house, saying "Bring it on! Let's show what true swordsmanship is all about!", before rushing over to the house.As she rushed over the house and kicked the house door, she was shocked to see yet an another "Dark Elsword", who was nothing like the other who was found in an another dimension, although stronger and more powerful than his previous incarnation and original form. "Hi, who's this?" he said, to which Shailyn aims her right sword at him and replied "I'm Shailyn, the owner of this house! What are you doing there? Get out of here!" He refused to get out of the house, and instead said that he'll leave the house as long as she marries him, to which she promptly rejected, resorting into an incredible sword fight between the two of them.In the end, he was almost done with defeating her, when suddenly, he saw her starry diamond eyes, with white diamond pupils on it, and tries to make eye contact with her, only for her to summon four large pastel purple-colored crystals towards him, throwing him to the ground unconscious, and she gets up, activating her new powers in the process, summoning a glowing halo surrounding her head, along with a glowing white naginata.Just as Shailyn was about to run and defeat him, Dark Elsword gets up and tries to attack her from behind, only for her to defend herself by using an invisible diamond shield, causing his sword to break and he resorted into using a knife he found on the kitchen, before challenging her to fight him, but however, she refused to fight him any longer, before summoning an large void portal behind him, and resorted into kicking him into the portal, in which she closed the portal on her own.Just as she was about to move on from the person who she fought before by going to the bathroom in order to take a bath, multiple assassins came barging into the house, and she fled from her house as much as she can, only for her to become unconscious in the process. Upon the assassins finding her in that state, they soon thought to themselves that she was dead before leaving the scene, and shortly after, she disappeared from this world.Meanwhile, on the other hand, while in the secluded forests of Elrios, Aisha takes Elsword and Rena to a large tree, isolated from the forests, with her staff, where they were shown sitting in one of its branches, talking about their experience at an hot spring that morning, when suddenly, they saw multiple swords being thrown to the ground, near the tree, only for the swords to melt and a cotton candy-textured shield to appear out of nowhere. Rena said to her allies "Wait, where did this shield come from?" only for Elsword to tell her that he had no idea of where the shield came from either, and Ain appears out of nowhere, sitting next to him, in which he told the two and Aisha that Lolli and her companion Cotton is protecting them with the latter's own abilities. To his surprise, both he and the person he was sitting next to coincidentally knew her, as they spoke to each other that they both saved her twin sister Pop in an another dimension and helped the twins reunite before in an another dimension.While trying to protect the tree from being destroyed, Cotton told Lolli to sit in the tree, in which she agreed and teleported herself to one of the tree branches, where she gives Elsword, Aisha, Rena and Ain cotton candy, before giving herself and Cotton cotton candy. Suddenly, someone's sword broke into the shield, and it was none other than Dark Elsword, who previously attacked Shailyn in her own world.Suddenly, Elsword saw the attacker, saying to him "Who the hell are you?! Are you Agni?! Or the one who attacked Shailyn before?!" He replied, saying "I'm not Agni, but an another incarnation of your dark clone." before showing a knife he stole from Shailyn's world.Soon, Elsword and Aisha both jumped off the tree, combining their fire abilities to attack him, with Rena jumping mid-air to shoot three burning arrows at him, blasting him far away from the three. However, this wasn't the end for this Dark Elsword, as he got up and started to charge in recklessly towards the trio, only for them to jump up to the tree, resulting in him trying to chop the tree down, to everybody's shock.Not after he started chopping down the three, Raven came to their rescue by kicking him in the head, causing him to fall to the ground. After knocking him out, he said to everyone on the tree "Are you okay, everyone?." to which Rena thanked him for helping her and her allies defeat their enemy. Suddenly, Dark Elsword got up, feeling enraged, and said to the people behind him "Just so you wait, I'll be right back soon, you losers!" before he ran off the scene in anger.After he left, Laby, Noah and their mutual friend Lithia were on their way to visit the tree while holding their weapons, when suddenly, they heard his voice screaming and the latter said to the two "Hey, what's this voice coming from?" He responds "It's coming from that dark clone of Elsword, you know, the light one, who both awakened me and her by unsealing Elrianode before, right?" Suddenly, as they were walking closer and closer to the tree, Laby pointed her finger towards it, and says to Noah and Lithia "There it is! That's the tree I've been talking about this whole time!", to which the two nodded. As they arrived to the tree, Lolli welcomed them, with her giving the trio cotton candy, and teleporting them to one of the three branches.A few minutes later, Ain tells about his plans to go camping in an empty grassland, which was home to a campsite, to everyone, who all agreed to camp with him there, that they all decided to jump off from the tree, and prepared their camping equipment before setting off to wander across the forests at night. As the group wanders across the forest, they found a large caravan, which allowed them to settle in it.However, while inside the caravan, Raven and Aisha were fighting for who can drive it, only for Noah to stop them from fighting, which resulted in him fighting with her over the control of the caravan, with Elsword reassuring her in which he tells her to let him drive all the way to their destined location and leave him alone, before they left him alone. Soon after they left, Noah realized that the duo were married this whole time, and decided to drive the caravan all the way to the destined location, which was the empty grassland in question.As the caravan arrived to the location, it stopped, and everybody got out of the caravan, with most of them placing tents in the campsite, opposite the logs surrounding an unlit campfire. Upon finding matches on the ground, Lithia decides to lit the campfire, and soon after, they started to cook fish.2 hours later, after the fish was cooked and it was time for the people to debone and eat the fish, Shailyn appears out of nowhere, in which Raven welcomes her by giving her some of the cooked fish to eat, before telling her that he and his allies will always protect her and be on her side no matter what, against the cult she's facing.Not long after, Noah went outside of the campsite to relieve himself, only to face Eretria, a high-ranking official of that cult, accompanied by her boyfriend, who turned out to be Dark Elsword himself, to which the former told them "Why are you looking at me like that?!" The two looked at themselves, only for Laby to come after them with a sandal she found inside the caravan, before throwing it to them as they try to run away from them, hitting their heads in the process. In turn, he thanked her in return, and hugged her for saving him from the cult, in which the two returned back to the campsite.By the time they returned to the campsite, the people, who were there at the time, noticed that Lolli mysteriously disappeared out of nowhere and Rena told him that Shailyn also left to fight against the cult, not to mention, she also gave Elsword the bracelet Lolli had left behind near his shared tent with Aisha so that Cotton could help him and the others find her.As a result, Pop walked in the scene and said to everyone "Thanks for having a great time camping. Recently, my sister Lolli went missing, as someone took her away, and Elsword has her bracelet so that he can help us find her." before summoning a portal, allowing everybody to travel into an another dimension in order to find Lolli.By the time they arrived into this dimension, called the Rokugen Empire, led by Emperor Rocco, an tyrannical emperor with the same attitude as Prince Idris from Daystar Purgatory Season 2, they were met with hostility by other villagers until a generous man, who introduced himself as Jareth, who was staying there with the sole purpose of overthrowing the empire and transitioning the land to an democracy, took them into a large mansion, where he tells them that Lolli's arranged wedding is in 2 days, and gave them a quest to help her run away from her wedding and save her from getting married to the prince Roark, who's the son of the emperor, who she barely knows at all, except that he was an known red flag, as he abused his ex-wife and their newborn daughter to the point they both went to an temple where she managed to divorce him and became a single mother 5 years prior.
