Chapter 15: The Sin of the King
Markus have just returned his sub-consciousness into his body from Avalon and Noah received an alert.
"I need help, the bastard son of the king has his eyes on the sword asap, I'm at the place where it all begun"
The messaged said.
"We need to go right now, Margarette come with me, you three as well" Noah said looking at Margarette, Markus, Riafe and Amy.
"Where to?" Markus asked as he held his chest as he is feeling a bit hot in his chest.
"To the place where it all begun" Noah said
Without only a few minutes of preparation Noah showed the three new titans the gift he had intended to gift them.
Noah, Margarette, Markus, Riafe and Amy went into the airfield of the ship and Noah proudly snaps his finger and a circular lift started to rise revealing a 50x70sqm long ship.
"This is a upgraded Version of the Koi, a ship we used to used back in the days when were still the Titan knights" Noah said
Margarette smiled as she had flash backs of the Old Koi, which was destroyed during the battle of Laguna.
"Sometimes the family you deserve finds you, and sometime just sometimes those people you call your friends are also your family" That's what Leonel used to tell us everyday.
Margarette remembers.
they all entered the ship and it was bigger than Markus thought.
"have you cleaned your bed yet?" Margarette sees an image of the younger her being scolded by Noah due to her being a messy person.
"Hey! breakfast is ready" A memory of Marwin shouting to them every morrning that the breakfast is ready being seen by Noah.
"This ship's interior closely resembles what the Koi looks like back in the days, though unlike the Koi, this ship is completely independent, instead of a radioactive reactor, this ship uses the Avenium Reactor a 100% clean energy, the reactor this ship uses can last for 10 years for as long as it can absorb sunlight, this is connected to the Camelot's server" Noah said
Noah left the ship and said "Good luck Knights"
Markus went into the cock pit and saw the sit reserved to him "It looks like a throne" Markus said
"Because it is, you are now the King of knights, this responsibility requires a lot of sacrifice and a firm reason to fight, so what are yours?" Margarette said
Markus sat down the throne and looked far into the wind shield of the shield and said
"I made a promise to my brother, and I will keep it, I wouldn't want anyone to lose their love ones"
Margarette smiled remembering Curl who used to tag along them in the Old Koi ship.
"How are you holding there Curl? I'm sorry I couldn't save you dear boy"
Margarette said inside her mind.
And after that the Koi went into the Air and started it's route.
While the ship is iss flying Margarette started to check the ship's diagnostics.
Markus asked a question.
"I was wondering the crime has been at all time low for almost every country for the last 30 years and upon hearing some stories from you, Noah and Joshua the Titan knights has not operated for the last 20 years and still" Markus asked
"that's all on Marwin, what he did back then struck fear to the hearts of not only the criminals but all the government around the world, ever since petty crimes has since dropped to all time low, in their minds, that alone can bee done by one Titan what more if all 7 of us will do the same thing, honestly we can conquer the world in just 1 year if that happened" Margarette said
"Where are we going anyway?" Amy asked
"To the ruins of Camelot to fetch Markus' Sword, the Caliburn or rather King Arthur's" Margarette said
"do I really need the Caliburn? I already have the Protoburn" Markus said
"Well yes, sure that Protoburn can be used as a sword, but a Titan's sacred weapon is just a conduit, the power has always been inside, and the stronger the sacred weapon the stronger power a titan can unleash" Margarette showing his Borsburn
"This is the Borsburn, a sacred weapon Sir Bors' sacred weapon it is said to be forged using a dragon's fire breath and the hammer of the Gods, The Protoburn is just a copy of the Caliburn it acts as a conduit to your power but it has no enchanment or soul piece to make it sacred, in other words it does not draw power from the soul of it's original bearer, well half of that story is proven but the other half no, we know it has the original wielder's soul piece but it's origin just came from legends that we can recover, and those discoveries resulted to the Protoburn, Marwin and Leonel wanted to create a weapon that anyone can use, but what happened is they created a weapon that functions the same as caliburn bu thas no enchanments or connection to the avalon's will" Margarette said
"They told me this was supposed to be Curl's" Markus said looking at the sword
"Well yes, the Protoburn can still be used by special Authority user like Curl or Amy" Margarette said
"So my Brother was special?" Markus asked
"he is" Margarette answered as her voice fades in sorrow and started hearing Curl's voice in her head.
Leo, Curl are we doing the right thing now? is it wise for us to hide the truth from both of them?
Meanwhile in the Ruins of Camelot
As the cold Titan fights the masked man with his dark King's Mode, The masked man kept fighting him like he knew how Marwin fights even though this is the first time he had fought him.
"Pity, your weakness is what killed your wife and child" The masked man taunted him
"SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! FUCK YOU!" Marwin shouted as he changed using his Katana but the masked man blocked him using his Katana
"Do you know why this Blade had so much anger in it? why rage seems to be it's main source of power? because it was used to shed blood, just like what you did in North Korea" The masked man said
The Masked man started using ice authority just like a titan would.
That's an absolute authority? what the fuck did Lancelot l left a bastard when he was reincarnated? or did they clone him? just like what they did to Reian?
The masked man covered the Area in spiky ice as they continued on clashing although Marwin is in his Dark King's Mode the masked man seems to be unbothered.
The weakened Mordred stood up in his legs while cleaning the blood coming out of his nose.
"Damn this Pendragon blood" Mordred said
Mordred's Pendragon blood is incompatible with Mistenial Genes just like how the Crimson Assassin was.
"does he even need us here?" one of Mordred's general told him.
"He can handle him on his own, I don't know who he is or where he came from but He seemed to hate the Titans as much as we do, let's leave him, he can't really pull the caliburn without the chosen one, we're finished scanning it we all have what we need" Mordred said
Mordred and the others left the scene as they go back to the mistenial empire to complete their real mission.
"Where the fuck are you going bastard son" Kazumi said as he sees Mordred leaving but before he can even say another word The masked man once again attacked him but this time Kazumi was able to block the attack using his ice wall.
"Your ice is to brittle, I can easily break them using my ice" The masked man said as he demonstrate the strength of his ice by breaking through the thick wall Kazumi created.
"This rage? this isn't power, this rage is just a proof of your sin, the sin of the King, want me to remind you of what you did? you massacred the army of a poor country, killed every father, mother, brother and sister of those people that aren't part of the Army you massacred, and what's most disgusting you killed them even without knowing if their allegiance belongs to Mistenial Empire or you, every uniformed personel you saw that day met the fate you gave them, you killed them you ended their life in seconds, those family they left behind survived and took a grudge on you, sure some seen your act as a heroic deed but we both know what the truth is, you massacred hundreds of people for what? revenge? the only thing that titans hated as a reason, as a purpose, revenge, you were given the power of the Gods and you abused it" The masked man said
Kazumi gripped his sword tighter and unleashed an attack that shook the entire Ruins.
"SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!" He said as he continued his attack but the masked man took them all.
the masked man stood up and spit out blood but he does not seemed fazed by the countless attacks Kazumi unleashed upon him.
"The great, the powerful Titan ever exist got corrupted by the idea of revenge, how pitiful, not only did you kill the only person that was able to open up your heart again, the man you said you'd follow to death, you let your pregnant wife die and you massacred hundreds of people in North Korea, are you really a hero? what are you? Marwin Kazumi Papagayo" The masked man said
The Cold Titan's Power overwhelmed him, the dark force ate him and he began transforming to the creature the Lancelot once tried to eradicate from his soul. The Dark One.
Marwin was put into a trans while the creature took over his body.
"Good, now it's time to kill you, I've killed you before I will again" The Masked man said to the creature.
Margarette, Amerie, Joshua and Noah felt the emerging of the creature.
"This sensation, this rage, OH MY GOD! CLEO! CAN YOU DRIVE FASTER!? WE NEED TO HURRY MARWIN IS IN TROUBLE" Margarette yelled
As the ship prepares for a boost Noah, Joshua and Amerie's Hologram appeared in the ship.
"Oh god, you all Felt that?" Amerie asked
"Yes, I did, does anyone know what could've triggered it? did anyone mention his wife to him?" Noah said
"I don't know, but as far as I know there's only few people in the world that knew it" Amerie said
"If things gets worse, we use it" Noah said
"I know, but we should try this one first" Margarette said as she took out a little box in her pocket
"What's that?" Joshua asked
"It's tiny device Leonel and Marwin Created to weakened the soul of Dratos, but then they weren't able to complete it, after the Battle of Umahon City Marwin continued on building it until he did, Marwin gave this to Reian, but I found it in North Korea During Marwin's Rampage and used to it weakened him and it worked, Everytime he is being consumed by the Dark One his aura transforms identical to Dratos' I can feel it, I know the difference because I am born having the Ability to see through people's Aura" Margarette said
"Why didn't you told us this? before?" Amerie said
"Because I was young and I thought you'd think that I am weird, I mean unlike you I can't use my full authority just some parts of it, and I also use chi" Margarette said
"Not that weird, Anyway, can you do it? I mean without us?"
"I think we should trust them, as much as they trust us, they might not be as strong as we were back then, but they show promise, Amy the Daughter of the Strongest Swords Woman in the world, mastered using common Authority at the age of 15, Markus who has been thought how to use sword at a very young age and a Royal Mistenial Kid who just wanted to change her people, Doesn't that remind you of us when we were young? we just wanted to make change, to protect what we could, No I couldn't do it, but we can, together if we need help, I'll ask right away, after all, I'm with Lord Arthur" Margarette confidently said
"Okay then, I'm really worried about Marwin, this time he's the one who needs saving, save our friend" Noah said
I guess Noah still loves him despite him leaving us
