*2 more days have passed ever since and now it was the time for the comeback of the titan.*
*Assassin Squad Center, 6:38 AM in the living room*
Lucia: "Hmm it seems im the only one awake... Eh i'll wait for the others. In the meantime! Let's see what the president has to tell me.."
*"Hello President Jess? How's the situation at the Tea Party Headquarters going?"*
**"Ah Lucia! Pretty stacked right now but fine in general, i've gathered forces from all around Iceland including Duran. We're getting assisted for the worst that's about to come, how's everything going there?"**
*"I'm the first to wake up. I'm tryna hold a meeting with everybody here before we make our move. Where do we meet once we're done?"*
*"Hmm.. i guess yall can head straight for my office and we'll discuss there. I won't hold you back from your duties Lucia, stay safe and may you have an easy meeting!"*
*She closed the messagery app and watched as Aru's room door opened revealing her already drinking her coffee*
Aru: "Morning boss.. when did you wake up?"
Lucia: "Around 6. Why?"
Aru: "Ah nothing personal! Just thought you woke up at like 4 or 5 to prepare. Where are the others? Anyone else awake?"
*She looked at everyone's room door*
Lucia: "Highly doubt it. The only one that can be awake at this time is probably Seia... Unless..." *Without looking above her she throws a made icicle in the ceiling making someone fall afraid*
Seia: "B-BOSS! YOU WERE ABOUT TO HIT ME!"
Lucia: *a bit annoyed* "Better think smarter than being above me. What were you planning? Vampire girl."
Seia: *looking away* "N-nothing! Seriously! Just... A surprise..."
Lucia: "Yeah.. no thanks... Enough surprises for me this week. Do we wait for the others? I'm hungry."
Seia: "Asuna is probably doing her morning make-up. So she might be awake. As for the other 3.. they might be asleep still. Let's just eat. It won't bother them as much.. i guess with Saiki's exception. She's one that wants to eat with us all the time despite her anti-social appearance."
Aru: "Suits me.." *stretches* "I'll just have 2 pears and some salad. I'm.. not in the mood of eating something properly right now..."
Lucia: "Just have a seat. I'll do it for ya. I have enough energy thanks to my new lung." *She smiled as she went to the kitchen to begin preparing.*
Aru: "You're not eating Seia?"
Seia: "Me? I've had blood 35 mins ago. But i could use some fruits too. We might eat pears together."
*Aru looked at her in disbelief. Seia eating fruits? That's new. She never liked these*
Aru: "Since when are you eating fruits?"
*Seia smiled softly and said*
Seia: "I wanted to give them a try.. hopefully they aren't as bad as i think..."
Aru: "Girl you sound dumb saying that! Ahaha! But your choice!"
*35 minutes later Asuna and Azusa emerged from their rooms respectively heading directly towards the kitchen*
Asuna: "Girl wake up! Azusa! Hey! Don't mind her.. she's sleepwalking.. AZUSA!"
Seia: *giggling* "Shout all you want to her. If she's sleepwalking she's only waking up by herself-"
*Aru gave her a big slap which brought her back to her senses*
"Or that-" *said Seia*
Azusa: "Oh my goodness! Aru! What was that!"
Aru: "Seriously Azusa.. sleepwalking?"
Azusa: *confused* "What do you whoa, when did i get out of bed!?"
Lucia: *turning while eating a golden apple* "Get it now? Say thanks she slapped ya. Or i had to intervene."
Asuna: "Or i would just dig my dagger in you. You'd be waking up in an instant!" *She laughed while juggling 2 of them*
Azusa: "You cannot be serious.. do yall even see her?!"
Seia: "Mhmm! Clearly! And it's totally normal!"
Azusa: **"I'm surrounded by idiots..."** "Yea,yea! Good for you!"
*After they we're done eating the others eventually woke up and they had a great morning before Lucia dragged everybody in the living room for the meeting she talked about with Jess*
Lucia: "Alright everybody! So i called everybody here for a small meeting! Today is the day we fight against the worst! With our own life! And for our nation! So today we must be prepared for everything. I've talked to Jess in the morning before yall woke up presumably before Aru did, and she said once we're done she's awaiting us in her office! She told me she brought a ton of forces from Duran including everywhere around Iceland. Remember that also today being 9th of October marks the national day of Iceland! So we will have to help around the city and offer food around once everything is finished! Hopefully the titan doesn't wreak havoc in Iceland... Since the President already rebuilt everything in just 3 days... Amazing work i have to admit! Anyways! Does any of you have anything to say before we leave?"
Traveler: "Did she specify who she brought from Duran?"
Seia: *looking suspicious* "Aww does The Traveler wanna meet his precious Athena again? So cute!" *Asuna laughed alongside Seia as Aru nudged both of them*
Traveler: "Y-you! Uhh forget it..."
Lucia: "No. But presumably they are bringing the whole military alongside the general and the Chief Officer."
Saiki: "Ooh! I'm a fan of Chief Officer Carmina! I wanna be like her one day!"
Azusa: "Well sis. You surely have some decently high standards!" *But deep down Azusa cried knowing she would want to leave being an Assassin*
Asuna: "Really big ones! I hope you won't become what i want to be after all... Alongside what i already am..."
Lucia: "Oh Asuna.. you still can't forget that?"
Asuna: "No.. and i hate it..."
Traveler: "You have the perfect body to do it!"
Asuna: "You son of a- GET HIM!"
Aru: "ENOUGH EVERYBODY!" *She stomped the ground and they regained their composure* "Let's go boss."
*She nodded as they geared up and left for The Tea Party Headquarters*
*Inside the building*
Traveler: "He-hey! The elevator is working! Finally!"
Seia: "What do you mean?"
*Flashback*
"Do you prefer stairs? The elevator is broken still.. because someone did not repair it yet!"
*Back in the present*
Traveler: "Yea.. im still not wanting to be around her after hearing that thing..."
*He knew Izumi was mad that day*
*Floor 18 near Jess's office*
*KNOCK KNOCK*
?: "Yes? Enter!"
*They all enter Jess's office finding someone else cleaning around*
?: "Hello there. How may i assist you? I am Annika, Jess's assistant."
Lucia: "Hello there. We've been called by the President for personal reasons."
?: "And yall are?"
Lucia: "All of us with his exception are members of the Assassin Squad. I'm the boss."
?: "Understood. Jess will be here in 5 to 10 minutes."
*19 minutes later*
Jess: *opening the office door* "Yea and we've achieved massive improvement overall! We rebuilt very fast and oh! Yall are here!"
*Everyone waves from their chairs*
?: "Alright President. Everything is done here i already interrogated your guests and i'll leave it up to you."
Jess: "Alright. Go now i am busy here."
*Her assistant left and she sat down with the person she was talking to next to her*
Jess: "Greetings everyone. This is General Neon. You must know him Traveler. As for the others.. he's the general of the Duran Military!"
Neon: "Greetings everyone. And Traveler. We meet again."
*He waved towards the general*
Jess: "So as i said. We rebuilt very fast here in approximately 3 days! And we might have to redo that once all of this is over..."
Neon: "I'm glad you managed to rebuild President. We will be glad to offer help for rebuilding as well once everything is finished. And hopefully in our favor."
Jess: *surprised but thankful* "Thank you general. It means a lot to us. What about the others?"
Neon: "Ah, i think you're speaking of my trusted companions. They will arrive soon with our military. I came here alone. I left the military in my 2 best fighters and the Chief Officer's hands. They'll manage it surely."
Jess: "Understood. We must prepare for the worst. And now.. where's Izumi..."
*Her door busts open*
Izumi: "Right here!" *Panting*
Jess: "Ah right on time! Oh Izumi you know these heels aren't made for running right?"
Izumi: "Oh these? Leave them! I pushed through! They didn't break! I'm still slightly tired."
Jess: "Please. Have a seat."
Izumi: "Oh! Didn't know the general would be here! My sincere greetings!"
Neon: *slowly raising his head in the welcoming manner*
Saiki: "Boss.. im hungry..."
Lucia: *sighs while smashing her head by her table* "Why didn't you eat when you had the chance! You know i am not capable to cook here!"
Jess: "Worry not. We have everything here anyone would like surely."
Saiki: "Really!? WOW! I LOVE THIS!"
*Both Izumi and Jess smiled as they spoke*
Izumi: "Right. Tell us whatever you want to eat. It'll be here, hot and ready to eat."
*Once Saiki began talking she never stopped. She ordered 5 different meals accompanied by 6 snacks and 1 dessert*
Jess: "Well you surely got a hungry member Lucia. Haha!"
Lucia: "Yeap.. veeery hungry.."
*Once her order came it took her only 10 minutes to eat everything. She surely was hungry*
*With hours passing by the general received a text message*
'General we officially entered Iceland and are awaiting your command.'
Neon: **"Hmm.. good enough that they came."** *Texts Carmina back.* "Good thing to know my army entered Iceland succesfully. We gotta prepare for the worst. Hopefully anyone's body won't undergo the Overcharging process during the fight."
Izumi: "That would be truly devastating. I've undergone overcharging 5 times in my life and died 3 times. Yes if you're wondering i was resurrected 3 times. I managed to survive it 2 times... Worst feeling of my life. It feels like your entire body is being burned at like 10 million degrees. You'd die instantly. For gods it can still take less than 30 seconds until they die from overcharging."
*Everyone with Neon and Jess's exception looked wild at Izumi as she recounted her past troubles clearly shock being more than just visible especially on the younger girls like Saiki and Asuna.*
Asuna: "WHAT!? 5 TIMES!? HOW!"
Izumi: "You can be forcefully overcharged by a person and that can only be done by the Titan regardless of rank. Let it be a mortal or a god. If you're a titan you can't overcharge another titan as it would break the rules of this world."
Saiki: "Now im worried boss..." *She began sobbing as she hugged Lucia out of fear.*
Lucia: "It's okay Saiki... We know... We know..." *She accepted her hug and didn't let go of her.* "But he should'nt be able to kill you that way since he probably wants to use you. So technically you're safe from that. But us? Truly not."
Jess: "Everyone here with her exception is a victim of overcharging. And as the oldest prophecy states..."
'When the creator declares war on a nation, With the win of the nation 1 person must be sacrificed alongside with the titan's defeat.'
"It only means that one of anyone the titan demands must go... Forever..."
*Just by hearing this it even terrified Izumi. As calm and stoic as she is, this thing surely broke her calm side.*
Izumi: "Goodness Jess! Why did you never tell me about this prophecy!?"
Jess: "Because only gods know about this prophecy... It can go 2 ways too. Either the Titan will kill a random person or they will weaken them in a manner they can't physically be of use anymore. The second part always happens to gods but the titan can choose to kill the god too if they want."
Traveler: "Just hearing that makes me get goosebumps."
Jess: "I know. As harsh as it sounds.. we gotta push through."
*A ton of explosions were already starting to be heard from outside including a big a earthquake.*
Jess: *sighs* "It's time..." *She engaged her armor made of pure ice and her spear.*
Lucia: "Everyone... Goodluck... This won't be easy..."
*Outside various citizens were running away terrified as the big titan appeared very far away but still looking massive from that distance.*
Madoro: "I'm hoping that everyone was warned of my arrival in Iceland. And i will tear this nation down even if their god likes it or not!"
Jess: "We will stop you titan! As hard as it will be. We will stop you!"
Madoro: "I'll be glad to see you try. Dear Jess." *He ignited the ground below them as they jumped all in instinct away.*
Madoro: "Hmm.. good reaction time. Then i must throw everything i've got. Go dear creations! Ambush and don't let anything live!"
*He summoned portals around the entirety of Iceland and a ton of monsters came out of them. Various executioners, Inter-astral Manifestations which were one of the hardest monsters a human being can face compared to gods and many more.*
Izumi: "We need to protect all sectors! Now!"
Neon: "We'll hold back anything for as long as possible. You all take care of the Titan!"
Traveler: "Goodluck general! May fortune land upon you!"
*He nodded and set off with insane speed already killing hundreds.*
Madoro: "Oh dear Jess. If you knew that i hated this Nation the most out of all 16 you'd be more on guard. But it seems like you gave no shit and now will suffer. Die!" *He unleashed a fire beam that directly hit everyone. Lucia and Jess tried holding it down with Traveler together as they were blown into the ground by it but barely harmed. With Lucia's exception.*
Asuna: "Boss!"
Lucia: *wiping blood* "I'm fine... Go on..."
*He sent another one but this time it was blocked.*
Amina: *descending alongside her 2 sisters* "As Lord Kali once said, fight until the very end!" *All 3 of them sent the beam back hitting The Titan but barely scratching him.*
Madoro: "Hah! And you think you 3 can beat me too!? Hahahahahaha! I wanna see that!"
?: "Mezawari nanda yo!" *Sends 3 shadow sonic wave looking projectiles that passed through The Titan's attacks.*
Madoro: "Ow. What the fk was that?!"
Ash: "Oh boo-hoo you ruined my entrance monsieur. It's your biggest enemy. You know i would'nt let you harm my one and only friend Hinako right? Knowing she isn't here makes it better. But you gotta take me down if you want to take this nation down!"
Izumi: *gasp* "Ash?!"
Ash: "Oh? Vice President. It's been years since we last met. Tho you may not recognize the masterpiece in front of you. This is my other form. The shadowy one if je likes to call it."
Madoro: "You... You were the one who escaped from my lab back into the unknown! I figured you'd be useless the day you escaped! But you've adapted! And now you're turning against me!?"
Ash: *blows black fire from his hand* "I've always hated your stupid experiments. And thus! What were you using me for! You only used many subjects just to kill them! So i figured id get revenge on you one day. And here i am. Tho you're not in your strongest form just yet."
Madoro: "I'm glad you noticed. But even so i will not let you live. Alongside everyone else!"
Amina: "With the power of the 3 goddesses and the entirety of Iceland we will put an end to your tomfoolery! Once and for all!"
Saiki: "We will not let you harm our nation!"
Madoro: "Saiki... You still never answered my call and joined me. Why did you leave. You belonged to me!"
Saiki: "I never belonged to you! You stole me from this world! I used to live in Topalia! Why did you take me away from my place!" *She sent various fireballs towards The Titan*
Madoro: "Pointless. You had potential! We could've conquered this world! Like father and daughter!"
Lucia: "What are you talking about now!? She was never yours! She found her place here! With us! The ones keeping her safe from you! The ones that helped her develop! Not someone that teaches evil for a LIVING!"
Madoro: "SILENCE!" *The entire ground shook.* "I will not tolerate this type of behavior towards me! All of you must perish!"
*He wasn't playing now, so he immediatelly spawned various monsters on the field while attacking himself with random boulders and buildings towards them.*
Jess: *pants while deflecting most buildings*
Izumi: "Rise from eternal blood!" *Her wings showed as she went in for the monsters on field alognside Traveler and the others.*
Ash: "Awh.. you're getting me bored Titan! How about you show me some respect! And fight me face to face!" *He began flying towards The Titan as a shadowy thing covered in black armor descended from the big Titan body using his double edged sword to fight.*
Madoro: "Fine then! Bring it on!"
*Their blades clashed over 40 times and abilities were unleashed everywhere literal buildings and streets catching fire as the others dealt with the enemies.*
Amina: "Receive my blessing!"
Aris: "Haha! Ice inbound!" *She threw her big sword towards the ground killing hunders of monsters.*
Saiki: "DIE!" *She sent various shadow beams, binded many monsters and even desintegrated them with her fire powers as she unleashed her SSJB form once again.*
Ash: *being pushed back to the ground* "Ahahaha you know i didn't feel it right-" *He got stabbed in the heart by his sword fused with 4 elements*
Ash: "Is that all?" *His body flowed with Shadow and Black fire as it pushed the sword away technically enhancing his powers.*
Madoro: "You're a hard one to kill." *He retreated back in the colossal form.*
Madoro: "As everyone's occupied time for the final blow that will kill everything!!"
Ash: "Not under my watch!" *Madoro already fired a beam towards everyone made out of all 16 elements with sides of various forms for elements such as Fire and Ice who had more forms than just their bare types that pushed Ash back but managed to hold on. Everyone else retreated back and stopped the fighting to hold down the beam.*
Pera: "Uh-uhhhh too strong!!!"
Saiki: "Too hard!!!"
Jess: *struggling almost falling* "Hold on! We'll make it!"
*Traveler on the other hand shouted insanely loudly while his powers reached a level that was severely dangerous.*
Izumi: "No Traveler! You're overcharging!! STOP!"
*His shouts were worse as the pain got worse and flames started engulfing him but his ice powers were trying to fight it away.*
*After 8 more seconds they began pushing the beam together as Ash began charging his last bits of his power sending The Titan's attack towards him blasting the entire nation that also broke the sound barrier. With this the prophecy was fulfilled and The Titan was defeated.. for now...*
Saiki: "W-We did it!!"
Izumi: "Boss!? BOSS!?" *She was looking everywhere severely worried for Jess but no signs of her.*
Lucia: "Oh no..."
Traveler: "The Titan took her.. just like in the prophecy..."
Izumi: "BOOSSSSS!!!!!!!???!" *She fell to the ground crying unable to do anything anymore*
*The 3 Smarand sisters descended near Izumi helping her up*
Amina: "It's alright Miss Izumi everything will be okay..."
Izumi: "I know... But without Jess.. it'll practically be impossible to maintain this nation... I will have to take her role back as the president once again... Become the president a second time..."
Pera: "We will help Iceland recover from all damages with our powers and will open our passage way towards Smarand if anyone would like to live there. We will open up the way to the place that was hidden for thousands of years to everyone..."
Izumi: "Thank you.. a lot almighty goddesses of Smarand..."
Neon: *coming from the south* "Hey everyone okay!? Every monster suddenly vanished!"
Traveler: "And so did Jess.. general..."
Neon: "What!? What do you mean!? Did she die?"
Lucia: "Worse. Taken away by the Titan with him..."
Ash: "Everyone's lucky i managed to charge. Cause if i would'nt we would all be doomed." *He returns to his normal form where he looks more casual and human-like.*
Aru: "And the fact it happened during Iceland National day... Oof.. a very disturbing fact indeed..."
Saiki: "Don't worry Miss Izumi! We'll help rebuild once again and everything will be back to normal!"
Traveler: "General.. how's the situation on your end? Did yall have loses?"
Neon: "Many... Luckily my 3 strongest units didn't die. They were just wounded... We'll return to Duran and recover. As for me i'll remain here for a couple more weeks to help."
Izumi: "Thank you general.. this is a lot to take in... And i appreciate any help..."
*And just like that everything happened, Jess's death, The Titan's defeat for now, and the massacre dealt to Iceland. They all had to rebuild now and begin a peaceful life from now on.*
**To be Continued. This officially marks the end of Iceland arc!**
