Chapter 50 - Chapter 27 Act II: The Smarand journey

*At the Tea Party Headquarters.*

Izumi: *entering Dr.Sandro's office.* "Dr.Sandro! Izumi here!"

Sandro: "Ahh Izumi! I awaited your arrival! Lucia and Traveler are in very good condition! Tho Lucia needed a lung transplant. But i managed it perfectly. I did their last check-ups but they'll still need some time before i can discharge them from here."

Izumi: *nodding in understanding* "Alright. Good to know, i shall report to the Assassin Squad about it. Thanks again for your help. I'll raise your salary."

Sandro: *surprised* "No need.. I am just doing my job after all..."

*Izumi brushed it off repeated her words so he would'nt complain and then left with the Dr following after.*

*Back at the Assasssin Squad.*

*After a long cleaning session it was getting late, and they had to clock out.*

*At the dining table*

Azusa: "Goodjob sis. You did amazing!"

Saiki: *blushing* "Hehe~ thank you. Aren't you going to sleep?"

Azusa: "I should... Our class is having a shooting range exam tomorrow.. and it won't be easy. After that i shall train until the last day for the war." *Fist bumps* "Goodnight sis. Sleep well and don't hesitate to come in my room if something happens."

Saiki: "Alright! Night!" *Azusa left and then Saiki ate something from the fridge before going to bed.*

*In her room*

Saiki: "Zzzzz." *At one point she was now dreaming of something. But it felt like she had full control over the dream.* "H-huh? Where am i?"

?: "Saiki! Over here!"

Saiki: "What's that voice...?"

*She walks through a random forest until spotting someone familiar.*

"Is that.. Traveler!"

*He turned noticing her running towards him jumping into a hug.*

"How are you! I've missed you! But we aren't in the center..." *She felt something was wrong.*

Traveler: "I know. We are somewhere i've been once. I'm trying to find my friends again. But i don't know where they are.."

"Friends? What do you mean?"

*He gestured for her to look in front of her seeing a entrance to hell. But it didn't look like hell itself, it was mostly a nice town now reduced to ashes and debris everywhere.*

Saiki: "That's.."

Traveler: "Town of Smarand.. i was too late to come back... But they can still be saved..."

Saiki: *looking around seeing a part of the forest in fire.* "Look! The forest is starting to burn!"

Traveler: "I know.. that's why we have to put an end to the Titan's plans. Let's go."

*He extended his hand towards hers. She took it and they began running together through the entrance. After they entered they noticed a ton of people screaming while most were burning and other people defending themselves against the hallucinations created by the Titan.*

Saiki: "Blast AWAY!" *She shot a fireball towards the hallucinations which made them dissapear saving a couple residents.*

?: "Thank you so much saviors! We're forever grateful for your help!"

Traveler: "There's no time for these but thanks anyways! Where's Amina! Do you know who im talking about!"

?: "You're speaking of the 3 protectors! I don't know where they are! They might've headed for The Nimbus Shelf! Please! Go and find them!"

Traveler: "Thank you for the information. Stand your ground! Let's go Saiki!"

*They began running together towards The Nimbus Shelf hoping to find the 3 girls. In front of them more hallucinations appeared with one of them saying 'Bow to the Titan!' with a very corrupted voice.*

Traveler: "Woah slow down! We're having company!"

Saiki: "Let's do this together!"

*She took her sword out and rushed the enemies sending various fire and shadow waves towards them. Traveler deflected a lot of mines and bullets as he froze his way in front and found a way to skate to get to the enemies faster. Once there he jumped high sending shards on top of the hallucinations falling to a great backflip with them dissapearing.*

Saiki: "My power level is getting low again... I think my natural healing is failing..."

Traveler: "I'm used to the spacial effect now. But im not sure if it affects you or not."

*They kept going until eventually they noticed the 3 girls fighting a hallucination of Traveler and different zombies but they looked insanely corrupted and overenergetic.*

Pera: "Sis watch out!"

Aris: "What? Oh shit!" *She ducked down to avoid losing her head after that sending the zombies flying.*

Amina: "Be cleansed of all sins!" *Her water engulfed everything only the manifestation of the Traveler remaining.*

Traveler: "Amina!"

*The 3 turned noticing the real Traveler with Saiki behind them.*

Amina: "Traveler! I knew you would'nt leave us! And you brought the key!"

Saiki: "What key?"

*Pera and Aris looked at Saiki and held her hands in theirs*

Pera: "You. You're the key of saving our town! You're the unspoken saiyan!"

Aris: "She's the key!? So.. beautiful..."

Amina: "Aris! Back to yourself!"

Aris: "Mm.. sorry."

*Saiki nodded and tried comforting her.* "Hey it's okay. Thank you for the compliment. But don't feel discouraged."

?: "Amina-san! Your town must perish! It should've been taken away with the other worlds the titan has destroyed! And if he won't do it then I will!"

Amina: "I will not let you harm Smarand!"

*He then noticed Saiki and slowly walked towards her but everyone else blocked her.*

?: "You're the.. unspoken saiyan... Saiki... The one the titan wants to use. Why did you leave us Saiki. You could've gotten everything you wanted!"

Saiki: "I don't want these anymore! I found a better place! I have my own sister! I never belonged to you! What are you saying!?"

?: *looking annoyed* "You're too reckless.. and stubborn. You never listened. And you never will!" *He sent various shadow vine looking stuff to restrain her.*

Saiki: "Ah! Let me go!"

Traveler: "Saiki!"

?: "As for you. The one that looks exactly like me.. you're a copy.. not the real person. You were once my creation. Where did you end up going... I'm the real one.. your master! Your creator!"

Traveler: "I never knew ya! What do you mean! And who tf are you!" *He blowed icicles faster using his wind powers.*

?: *using his hand to catch and eat his icicles* "These are very tasty... But your power is nowhere to my level. Now die!"

*He began attacking everyone as they split.*

Pera: *throwing Aris* "Get ready! You're going up!"

Aris: "Up- up! And AWAY!" *She got thrown making her big sword entirely of ice reaching heights of over 200M and made it fall on top of him. With Amina buffing everybody's abilities and Pera keeping the hallucination at bay Saiki and Traveler struck together with their swords stabbing the hallucination releasing black blood from it's chest.*

?: "Uggh.." *breathing intensifies* "You won't be spared by what's about to come. YOU'LL SEE!" *He exploded throwing both of them far away but Amina catched them in a water platform and drops them down.*

Amina: "There you go."

Aris: "Woah! I never thought you can throw me so high up!"

Pera: "Heh. I haven't trained for nothing." *She held fire in her hand to warm up the area around them since it was very cold.*

Saiki: "Traveler! Are you okay!?"

Traveler: *wiping his face* "Perfectly fine. Glad we found you 3. How's the situation everywhere?"

Pera: *scanning the area* "We received reports that this area was under insane attack by Madoro's hallucinations."

Aris: "What's with this earthquake!?"

*The ground was shaking heavily knocking everyone down but they all decided to fly with Aris's exception being held by Pera mid air to try to look from where it would come from and Aris sees it from 8 miles away.*

Aris: "Girls! Lord Kali's statue is being attacked! And there's a very big thing in front of US! AHHHH!"

*Everyone looked behind and they saw Madoro even bigger than in Iceland atleast only for Traveler and Saiki.*

Traveler and Saiki: *gasp*

Saiki: "Oh my GOD!"

Madoro: "Saiki.. i thought i ended you for good! What are you still doing alive! And in Town of Smarand!"

Saiki: "I'm here to save everyone! From you! And from the Banishers!"

Madoro: "The Vice President captured Sue. But Graham managed to escape her."

Traveler: "Wait-.. isn't Graham the one i fought with Izumi in wherever i was.. i forgot...! But i got Ice powers that day!"

Madoro: "You're speaking right. And he will fight alongside me. As well as 4 more of my members from the Banishers. We will take Smarand and Iceland down and yall won't be able to do anything about it."

Saiki: "Not if im HERE! I WON'T LET YOU KILL EVERYONE I LOVE!"

Madoro: "Pfft. Who would you love Saiki-chan. Your abilities are useless against me. Your hit was nothing back down there. I'm back here now, stronger than ever!" *The world shook with those last 3 words*

Pera: "As the 3 protectors of Smarand you'll have to kill us before attempting to take our home down!"

Madoro: "So be it then. Attack hallucinations of 20 fates!"

*He sent millions of hallucinations,monsters and machines towards them, and now they thought they were doomed.*

Aris: "Oh no! What are we gonna do now!? We're not making it out alive sisters!"

Amina: "Don't fear Aris. We must use the entire power inherited from Lord Kali. We will use full power if needed to take them down."

Pera: "But Amina! It's dangerous! Lord Kali said-"

Amina: "I know what our lord said. And if we ever have to use it. Don't. Hold. Back. As the divine water empress of this land! I command! Energies of Severed lands! Fuse with us!"

*The three sisters began floating in the air energy frequencies to their own elements, water, ice and fire fused with each one of them and their eyes changed color from their natural one to a more feared appearance their weapons also becoming slightly bigger and looking divine.*

Saiki: "Traveler... It's time.. do note.. what you see now.. isn't even 20% of my power..."

Traveler: "Saiki! Don't do it! You're not prepared!"

Saiki: "My new heart let's me use around 30% of my power without issues.. that's unless i use my kaioken... Trust me."

*She flew and started screaming in agony as she unleashed her SSJB form once again her aura outshining most enemies on the field.*

Traveler: "Why can't i have a cool intro!" *His eyes shine a half wind color half ice color as his sword gains dual infusion at his max power.*

Amina: *her voice now slightly deeper* "Madoro. Your attacks will be useless against us. Do your best and retreat now while you still can."

Madoro: "Come at me! I won't go down without a fight!"

*He buffed his hallucinations speed.*

Saiki: "So be it then! We'll show you how strong we can really be!"

*She flash-stepped in front of her enemies and began punching and kicking each coming in her face. She even made her own sword fight by itself.*

Saiki: "Go Balmourth!" *Her sword left her side and began fighting on it's own sending shadow projectiles and fireballs and other meteors while Saiki fought with pure raw strength. Traveler however chose a slightly easier path and just threw wind made swords and icicles at the enemies coming towards him until his side remained low on enemies so he could fight them on his own.*

Amina: "Sisters! Remember your true self! Unleash everything you have!"

*Pera's appearance changed the most her weapon glowing in various colors including her eyes and started flaming the ground the enemies were on each burning to their own demise and threw flames with high speed on the ground shaking the area massively. Aris's weapon overcharged herself and she sent various copies of her big sword falling directly on top of her enemies making huge holes and glaciers in the ground exploding right after sending spikes everywhere. Amina however absorbed water from her enemies making her abilities even more stronger sending a Tsunami almost taller than the titan's current form engulfing every other hallucination he sent.*

Madoro: "Hmm.. very well. You 3 are very strong. I can say that i am just 2% impressed. But that won't cut it!"

*He made it rain acid which harmed everyone with Saiki and Amina's exception.*

Traveler: "Shit ow! FREEZE!" *He made small ice layers above him to avoid the acid temporarily*

Saiki: "Surrender! You won't take me anywhere!"

*She began charging her FieryShadoKen*

Madoro: "I teached you this move. And you dare use it against me! Preposterous!"

*He sent various beams towards her but she wasn't interrupted from her charging.*

Madoro: "Fine then!" *He stomped the ground making everything shake and shattering everything including Traveler's ice walls. Acid began falling in his eyes making him scream massively until Amina lowered down to his level and kept the layer going with her water while tending to him.*

Traveler: "AMINA! HELP ME! IT BURNS! SO FKN MUCH! FKKKK WHY ME!"

Amina: "Stay still. It'll burn for 30 mins to probably 1 full hour until my abilities will fix this."

Traveler: "1 HOUR!?!?"

Saiki: "Titan! You made me do this! FIERYSHADOKEN!"

*The projectile went forward. Taking down the titan's head but im sure it wasn't his own head and the thing falling to the ground dissapearing with the damage done to him.*

Madoro: "You survived this. But you won't survive what's bound to come. I WILL END YOU! FOREVER!"

*A insane explosion rised sending shockwaves everywhere and made Saiki fly to the others fast while screaming for Pera and Aris to help withstand the insane impact.*

*The impact overshined their own powers sending them behind the traveler in pain but it didn't go further than The Traveler himself. It seemed his core was resisting the entire impact and didn't let it go any further. He screamed in agony as the impact hit him insanely hard until it eventually stopped causing havoc everywhere.*

Traveler: *breathing insanely hard* "I'm.. o-okay! FK IT STILL BURNS!"

Amina: "Stay still i said! Don't move!" *She ran up to him kneeled quick and continued her healing process. It took her 48 minutes but she eventually managed to heal him permanently from the damage to his eyes. His eyes also changed color back to his natural red eyes. The girls's eyes were still in their overpowered form, Kali's energy not fading yet.*

Saiki: *walking towards them slowly* "Is he okay?"

Amina: "Yes. I managed to heal him."

Pera: "Aris! Aris! Where are you!" ARIS!"

*She looked everywhere until she used her fire vision and saw her under a ice barricade layed down possibly hurt.*

Pera: "ARIS! ARE YOU OKAY!? AMINA! HERE!! NOW!!"

*Aris managed to get up slowly very nauseous holding on by Pera's right arm.*

Aris: "I'm.. f-f-fine... Just.. nause-ous..."

Amina: "Yeah! What's wrong! Is she okay!"

Pera: "I don't know!"

*Amina ran with the others Saiki holding Traveler as Amina sat down near her to check her heart.*

Amina: "Your heart was impaled. Uhhh god! You weren't properly trained to use Lord Kali's energy! And this is what happens to you!"

Aris: "C-can i still recover...?"

Amina: "Don't lose hope. You'll be fine overnight. But you need to exit Kali's state before we perform the healing process home. Understood?"

Aris: "Y-yes..."

Pera: "That was insane! I loved it! How are you two feeling?"

Traveler: "Much better.. thank you Amina.. for the heal..."

Amina: "Don't mention it. The least i can do. Let's get you home little drinker."

Aris: "aMiNa! Not again with the nick-n-name..."

Pera: "I will transport yall back home. Thank you for saving our home you two. Without the key we would'nt have managed it... But first to extend our gratitude to both of you i will give you my talisman that brings hope anywhere you are. It always worked when i needed hope. And hopefully it will help you too." *She hands both a small necklace with a very shiny looking rock and a very small undistinguishable writing on it.*

Traveler: "Thank you Pera.. praying for your sister's recovery.."

Saiki: "Same! Hope she'll be fine and recover fast! We gotta prepare for the war now.. im scared..."

Pera: "What war?"

*Saiki told Pera everything about Madoro's plans in trying to annihilate the entirety of Iceland in 4-6 days.*

Pera: "Ever since you helped us. We will keep it as a reminder. And we will do our best to assist anytime."

Traveler: "Understood. Thank you Pera.. i gotta see if i still am in hospital after all..."

Pera: "Alright. I won't waste your time. Goodbye. Safe travels." *She opened a portal in which they both went inside and separated them. Traveler back at the hospital him and Lucia were, and Saiki back in her bed where she's still sleeping.*
