Titan at hand

David calmly surveyed the army of Locken, the crystal gripped in one hand and Endless in the other.

The group was made up of 1000 Locken warriors at the 7th lvl mortal sphere(MS) , and the siblings he met when he first arrived at the heart of Locke, "Freith and Freitha", they were now both at the 8th lvl mortal sphere(MS).

A thousand lvl 7 (MS) aren't a threat to him neither are two lvl 8 (MS), but they were many and armed to the teeth, and time wasn't on his side, he was confident he could cross realm and kill a lvl 9 (MS), but to defend himself, the crystal and the DVS against a peak lvl 9 (MS) like EA, was not advisable.

David's train of thought was however much different, he could simply bypass the adversaries with his newly acquired dimensional jumping authority.

But before he could act , the thousand strong army, along with their two leader took initiative to kneel and salute.

"GREETINGS, NOBLE CELESTIAL"

The thousand said in unison,all while giving way to the DVS, it was surprisingly fixed and required only but the energy core which they referred to as the life Crystal.

David replied with a slight smirk, understanding what had transpired, he boldly marched ahead, he stuck out like a sore thumb amongst the seemingly short statured army.

Coming closer to the spacecraft he met the two siblings Freith and Freitha, who equally salute in respect.

They took the initiative and drew closer, walking along side David who press for time, continued to walk towards the spacecraft, they risembled a big shot and his fleet of assistants.

They explained the purpose of their presence, something David had already guessed.

David> Archive sent you, I know.

Frieth> I see, then...

Frietha> What's the point of showing off, anyone could figure that out!

Frietha's scolding, although consistente and insecent, always seemed to break David's ice.

David> Glares*

Freitha> Please pay her no mind, i don't no why but she has always had the tendency to scold others.

*And somehow gets away with it, Freith thought.

Freith> The ship is ready to part, these are our core crystals, we are special and can be taken away from Locke, the others will disperse along with Locke.

*Hands David two small crystals.

Freith> Freitha and I will keep Rogue Archive, until you leave the atmosphere, when...

David> When locke colapses in on itself, it's mass will decrease and it's spin will increase exponen..

Freitha> He knows let's go already!

Freitha rudely interrupts, David, slightly offended shut's the ships door behind him without a word, choosing to ignore her.

Freith visibily distroth, alerts his sister, he had arrived.

Freitha> He's here!

*they brandish they weapons

CASSEN VANGAURD! YOU WILL NOT ESCAPE!

David> huh?

Freitha> Charrrrge!

An explosive and visually spectacular battle ensued, is was a bitter and bloody battle, EA was brutal and unrestrained, every second that passed by tens of Locken warrior were hacked to peices like non entities, they didn't stand a chance.

It took a mere minutes to deal with the 1000 lvl 7 MS Locken warriors, he tried to go after David for he knew the moment David escaped Locke's gravitational pull, he had lost.

However his plans were foiled as a sneak attack barely missed his head, it surprised him greatly, the level of the sneak attack could easily be detected and avoided, yet he barely dodged, his rage seemed to have caused his edge to dull.

He started to fall into an existential crisis, mumuring to himself, his resolve was shaken, he started to doubts his memory and knowledge, he started to doubts his own existence, slowly descend into madness.

EA> Am i not an artificial intelligence, how could i experience rage? Or am i a humoculis? No, I am the Imperial family's archive a special contigency, ofcourse I am more advanced the others.

His moment of confusion created a flaw, allowing Freith to get closer, delivering a devastating blow to the head, having sustained a blow to the head, something clicked in him.

His eyes calmed and he reached out to grab Freith's head, horror and dread filled him, it was for only a second, but the chill seemed to spread through his body and grip his heart multiole times over, Freith realised what he was trying to do, but he was too many a step behind and his faith was essentially sealed.

Freith twitched violently for a moment, then almost as if awakening from a trance, he immediately struck EA's upper right torso freeing himself and immobilising EA in the process.

Blow it up, he coldly commanded, Freitha immediately followed suit, aiming and firing a beam of energy at the fallen body of EA, surprisingly he did not avoided nor defend, nonetheless his body was largely still intact.

Freitha was pleased yet unsure of their truimph occassionally looking back to be sure, but Freith didn't seem too impressed by their great achievement,radiated with confidence in their victory, infact he showed no reaction as ifit was but a daily routine, he flew ahead leading his sister the catch up with David's vessel, he had still not charged up enough to reached light speed, allowing them to easily reach him.

David, sensing their approah, opened a portal leading the his inherited pocket dimension allowing the siblings to enter and escape the explosion right as David vessel boomed to light speed, narrowly avoiding the brunt of locke's collapse, David didn't look back, their next destination was titan, a new world would be opened to him.

Meanwhile on Titan in Royal Palace of the Rowen Kingdom on central continent Lancia, a group giants silhouette stand round a tall blonde man with piercing brown pupils like that of lion, his figure was imposing and valiant, he worn a golden armour and weilded an equally magnificent great sword.

The was great tension in the room as the giant silhouettes interrogated the man, their voices were loud and would boom and crackle like thunder when the spoke.

They reffered to the man as the bastard son of the wild Princess of Rowen.
