Chapter 40 - Memories (1)

While Shallot was dreaming he was back at the "tunnel" again but this time it was closer to a spherical bubble with his memories everywhere on the walls of it.

Shallot: "Ok, at first it was neat but if I can't even sleep because I end up here it's going to get real old."

Shallot was looking around at all the memories around him and soon found one that wasn't filling in and the image was just completely black. He walked up to it touching it and ended up in an area that was completely black with some light coming from the difference.

He walked towards the light and could see a younger him that was 4"3' with a woman he was carrying on his shoulder that was wounded with a large gash on her back with the younger version of him limping towards the cave carrying her.

Shallot walked towards the younger version of him thinking it was similar to the other time and would be able to touch things and wanted to help them. As he got closer he noticed that it seemed that they didn't notice him.

He tried to help the woman and the younger him and he just fazed through them.

Shallot: "Well... that answers that question so it's like the first time where I couldn't interact with things. So certain things I can do while other things I can't do anything about."

Shallot followed the younger version of himself and the woman into the cave and watched the younger him bring up an orb of energy and started running the energy through her body.

Shallot: "I think this was the first time that Summer told me about her daughters and that she was worried about them."

Young Shallot: "If you would tell me about who is constantly sending all of these Grimm then maybe I can go and deal with them in the future."

Shallot: "Hold on... I don't remember this? Maybe this is an alternate timeline or something or it could just be something that I forgot since my memory isn't exactly the greatest."

Summer: "Don't worry about it. Once I'm able to get back and tell the others about her plans then we can deal with it. Children shouldn't have to worry about the fights that we are in. You should just worry about yourself and head back to your family already."

Young Shallot: "I will go back when I am finished making my sword fully."

Summer: "But didn't you already finish it. You have a sheath for it and everything."

Young Shallot: "The reason I made the sword is for it to become a cursed weapon that can seal emotions inside of it so that I can master something but it seems that my sword is generating a large amount of negativity but it still shouldn't be able to pull in so many high ranked Grimm."

Summer: "Which is why you said someone is sending them after us and you figured I wasn't telling you something. Your pretty smart kid."

Young Shallot: "So in order to get out of here I'm going to have to draw them away from here if they are drawn to this sword. If I can find a place to seal it currently away from where we are it could act as a distraction and then you can get back."

The younger version of Shallot was still healing Summer for a couple more minutes then started healing his own leg.

The surrounding around Shallot changed again when he saw the younger version of himself rushing back after going out to get some food before he would go out to hide the sword somewhere. When the younger Shallot got back he saw that the cave was surrounded by Grimm of all sizes.

There were 3 Nevermores in the sky flying in a circle like vultures while there were several packs of Beowolves surrounding Summer who had a long sword and was changing to a sniper rifle with her cleaving through the Grimm left and right and sometimes bursting into white petals with her white cloak wrapped around her body moving in a graceful motion.

She was fast, lethal, and effective. It looked as if she was dancing but Shallot could see that she was only getting more and more tired the longer she was fighting when he saw a Manticore Grimm coming flying from a distance swiping at Summer wounding her.

The Shallot looked towards the younger him that was standing looking shocked at the large amount of Grimm when he shook his head.

Shallot: "I was so nieve back then. I should have already moved and dealt with the Grimm but I was lacking confidence in fighting larger Grimm that were in groups even though Saiyans thrive due to battle."

The younger Shallot had rushed in hacking and slashing his way through trying to get towards Summer.

Shallot: "I always saw Summer as a mother figure for me since she always looked after me and I just leave her after what is about to happen even though I don't remember everything except my inability to help because I was weak. That weakness inside me needed to die in order to survive in this world."

Shallot watched his younger self recklessly charging through cutting everything apart while also gaining wounds and finally making it to Summer when they both were blindsided by another Grimm. The Grimm was covered in black skin, with bone-like plates covering their bodies at certain places like armor. A red pattern or symbol resembling an eye is present on their back.

Shallot: "I always that there was so many Grimm here and was thinking that maybe it wasn't the sword at this point... well the sword wasn't the only reason."

Shallot was watching everything not feeling anything about it since he had already lived through it once and it was more amazing that they were capable of getting out alive. Shallot was walking through the battlefield passing through the Grimm just observing them looking at there appearances and wondering how they tick.

Shallot saw the Grimm that had ambushed them the younger him and Summer. The younger him was growing more exhausted and so was Summer.

Summer: "It seems that we also got a mutated Beringel after us. We need to escape from here so that we can make it to a city."

Young Shallot: "But every time we try to a certain distance the Grimm start attacking and this time they are coming in larger numbers."

The Beringel Grimm had bone plated blades extending from its elbows and charged towards Young Shallot ready to split him in two but he was too exhausted to move and his ki was already to low to defend himself.

Summer has seen the Grimm coming and pushed out her left arm out pushing him out of the way causing her arm to be lopped off.

Young Shallot: "Nooooo."

Shallot: "At least I will know what had happened after I blacked out at that point."

Young Shallot's head dropped like a doll with its string cut and while the Grimm all rushed in at him and the armless Summer lying on the ground. Young Shallot gripped his sword tighter while malicious energy came from the sword with a howling sound came the sword that sounded like screams of the damned.

Young Shallot had the energy running through his body and swung the sword horizontal cleaving everything in front of him sending the top halves of Grimm into the air while. The bottom part of there body falls to the floor while Young Shallot went dashing through the battlefield slashing and cutting through everything in his way.

Shallot: "Damn... go little me. I didn't even know that this happened."

Shallot then felt as if he was being pulled away and he woke up seeing the sunlight coming through the window waking him and Blake.
