As you know, fairy tales end in happy endings. Yet, this story, isn't exactly a fairy tail, now is it?
What if.. there was no happy ending?
—————————————————————————
December 22: 1:42 PM
"CELUUUUUUUUU!"
The long haired male shouted. His greyish red hair flowing. Running towards his friend.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////
"Malleus! Stop this!"
The prince of the valley of thorns stood before them. "How strange.. managing to break free from your eternal sleep.."
The fae brought a hand to his chin, contemplating. "Hmph" bringing his hand up, a wall of thorns blocked an incoming attack.
"...tch" Shune pulled back his hand.
"Oi oi oi, this isn't funny you know" Leona put a hand to his head.
The time had come, a day anyone would dread. The overblot of a Draconia. Yuu remained behind the group, for this was deemed too dangerous for a magicless prefect.
"Tsunotaro, please come back to your senses!" Yuu shouted.
"Yuu" Shune placed a hand on his shoulder. "You know that wont work" he shook his head.
"WATCH OUT!"
Grabbing Yuu in a swift motion, Shune brought the two back, while others dodged and barely blocked the attack from the fae.
"No matter" Malleus grinned smugly. "i'll just send you to eternal sleep once again"
"Honestly, just how much bullshit do i have to deal with this year?" Shune ruffled his hair, frustrated.
Charging towards Malleus, the two clashed. Shune, holding his scythe, as malleus put up a barrier. "
"Everyone, please do your best to evacuate the students, all dorm leaders available, please assist Shune"
Celu said from nowhere. The group looked at each other. "Hmph, no matter who it is, rule breakers shall not be tolerated"
"Tsk, how troublesome"
"My my, i do hope i'll be getting a reward in return for this"
"I'll go and assist the students with evacuation!" Kalim said cheerfully. Jamil sighed "Your supposed to be helping in battle.."
"Yeah but.. i dont think my magic would be very helpful here" Kalim said bashfully..
Jamil stared for a moment "me too then, i suppose"
"Hmph, Epel, come with me, we shall go as well"
"Yes sir!"
"Ahhhh, what should i do??"
"Big brother, i think you should help with evacuation too.." Ortho sweat dropped.
"I never planned on being here! What kind of final boss battle is this???"
Sighing, Ortho pushed his brother. "Come on big brother.. lets go.."
Getting flung back, flipping in the air, Shune stabbed his scythe in the ground to stop him from sliding back any further.
Slowly, thorns started to encase the ground.
"Tsk, you're a strong one, aint ya?" He grinned. "Celu, come here!"
Grabbing Celu's hand, the two flew in the air. "Summon: Soul of the dead" Shune chanted, as orbs flew from the ground, shifting into the form of a magician.
"I command thee! Bring down thy foe, and bring victory to thy name!"
Celu turned his head towards Shune "Why are you speaking in shakespeare?"
Shune looked at Celu. "...i dont know, i didnt write these lines"
. . .
"What lines?-"
Quickly maneuvering to the side, the two watched as the summoned magicians were easily defeated, as the now disintegrating corpses flew past them.
"Useless.." shune tsked "this is why they were balding at 30" Rolling his eyes, Shune took hold of the robots hand as Celu spun the male around before launching him at the fae.
The sounds of blades clashed, as Shune cut through layers and layers of thorns.
Wait.. what happened to the dorm leaders again?...
Hold on give me a second
.
.
.
.
Oh right... uhhhhh, let's pretend they've been fighting this whole time... just imagine it into the story somehow. You're smart people. You can do it. 👍
Stabbing and slashing. Clashing weapons. Magic against magic. The fight had been going on for what seemed to of been ages.
It had been a while since evacuation, and most of the cast had joined the battle, some stayed behind, Yuu, not included :3.
Where are the teachers, one might ask.. as always, non existent during battles 😘
The group was getting fatigued. "Riddle, you doing fine? Dont tell me your kicking the bucket already" Azul smirked, raising a brow.
"Humph, dont be ridiculous! Rule breakers shall get proper punishment!"
While the dorm members where there to help. They were mostly stuck to the role of support. "Oi oi oi, this team is so unbalanced. Wheres the tanker, or the sub dps?? Theres barely even a healer!"
Idia complained with widened eyes. "WATCH OUT!"
Yuu shouted, as the figure of Shune flew towards Leona. "Tch!-" Grabbing hold of the male as he stabbed his scythe into the ground. The two managed to steady themselves.
"Thanks" Shune wiped blood off his face.
"Tch, i would of fell if I didn't" Leona rolled his eyes.
The fae laughed. "Can't you see? Resistance is futile!" He held up a hand. "Just give up, and rest in enteral slumber. Rest in the dreams i create for you!"
"Please, who'd wanna stay in your idiotic dreams.."
Standing, up, shune charged towards him. "DAMNED ELF DEMON!"
He shouted with a grin, his scythe making contact with the male. Sending both of them flying in opposite directions. Celu grabbed the male, lessening the impact, they were flying at high speeds, dodging the thorns sent their way.
While the others provided basic support. "No seriously, wheres the sub dps?!" Idia complained again.
"If you're ganna wine about it, why dont you go and do it, ah?!"
Shune looked at the group. "Seriously, is it so hard not to fight amongst oneself during the middle of a life and death situation?.."
"Guess not" Celu sighed as well. "Celu, why do you keep carrying me in the air?"
"Cause the author cant write battle scenes to save their life"
"Ah.. of course..."
..........
"Wait what?-"
Dropping down, shune crashed into the ground, making one swift motion, his scythe went for the faes neck. Barely scratching him before getting flung to the wall.
The thorns dug into his stomach.
"Ack!-" spitting out blood, the male fell on one knee, clutching his stomach with one hand, as his other held onto the scythe resting on the floor. "Asshole.."
A light shone. "Shune! Get up!"
A shout was heard, looking towards the voice before looking in front of him. Widening his eyes, shune watched as a huge beam of darkness was sent towards the male at breakneck speed.
"Ah.. i dont have time to move-"
Clang
Shune dropped his scythe, looking towards his side as he was pushed out the beam.
"Celu?"
Pushing the male out just in time, he fell to the floor, as the beam crashed into the robot. "Huh?.."
Shune sat on the floor, looking to the side. Staring for a second, before getting up. As realization hit.
Widening his eyes, he shook his head.
"CELUUUUUUUUU!"
The long haired male shouted. His greyish red hair flowing. Running towards his friend. His eyes widened, as the robot crashed through walls, before stopping.
Running as fast as he could, the male frantically searched around. Before laying his eyes upon him.
Celu, now completely destroyed. Like an old robot thrown in the junk yard. Shune stood there, frozen. "Celu?.."
No response.
"Celu?-"
....no response
Parts starting falling off the robot, as many holes were formed on him. A small beam of light shone upon the now destroyed robot.
Clang
An arm fell off, as wires crackled slightly. "Ah.."
Shune turned towards his friend. "Celu?" Slowly, he made his way towards him. "Celu? Get up already, the battles still going.."
Rubble fell off the walls. The dorm leaders were now stuck as the main battlers. Yuu looked at where the two were.
"Prefect, dont get distracted!" Flinching, Yuu turned his attention back to battle. "Right!"
Making his way towards Celu. Coming to a stop, the male fell on his knees. "Celu? Are you not ganna respond to me? Come on, this isnt the time for rest.."
....
Reaching a hand up, Shune touched his friends now shattered face. He knew.. he knew the moment he laid eyes on Celu.
It was useless
"Oi.." Tears formed in his eyes. "Oi, Celu, wake the hell up. Come on! I said wake up!"
He put his hands on his shoulders. "Celu! Wake up!"
He shouted louder. Shaking Celu slightly. "Celu! Wake the hell up!" His voice cracked slightly.
"WAKE UP!"
He yelled. Shaking the robot, tears falling from his eyes. Trying desperately, yet uselessly, trying to bring light to his friends eyes. "CELU, WAKE UP! I SAID WAKE UP!"
"WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP!-"
He shouted loudly before stopping. His forehead now touching his. "...please.."
Wrapping his arms around the robot slowly. He hugged him tightly, as the shards of metal dug into his skin. "You can't do this to me"
He cried, blood being drawn from his skin, bringing one hand up to the back of Celus head. "You can't fucking do this to me.."
Shifting his head, he hugged the robot tighter. "Please"
He choked out, tears falling from his eyes. "Bastard.. wake the fuck up.."
He knew.. he knew deep down. He knew that his words were useless. He knew crying wouldn't help. Celu was gone. He is forever, gone.
Yet, the male couldnt hell but cry, desperately calling out to his friend. Desperately trying to confirm hes still alive.
"Please dont leave me.. not you too.."
electricity sparked, as tears continuously poured. The world went silent, Shune remained in place.
Slowly, he let go, looking at his friend. His eyes now dead
"..."
Sitting back, shune put his hand over the robots stomach. Opening a compartment, as a blueish crystal was shown. Grabbing it, Shune stood up, holding it in his hands, as he stared down at it.
——————————————————————————
"Hey.. so why do i gatta do this again?" A younger Shune turned towards Alexander
Genuinely cant remember if i already changed his looks once before, but this his what he looks like now, forget the old one. Anyways, black hair and greyish magenta lookin eyes.
Image not mine
The male chuckled. "Because, my prince, your power is far too dangerous."
Alexander went behind Shune, holding his hand and placing it on the Crystal. "Your power goes far beyond just basic soul summoning."
"Now, lets do this together"
Channeling energy, The boy pours in some of his magic into the crystal. Sweating slightly. "You're doing great, keep going."
After a while, Alexander removed Shunes hand, as the crystal turned blue.
"Hah!-" falling on the floor, the boy sighed. "Hey, Alexander, just how exactly is my power more than soul summoning?"
The boy questioned, turning towards the man.
"Well, you see." Alexander kneeled in front of the boy. "Your able to make contracts"
"Contracts? Like those spirit users?" The older male chuckled. "Sort of, expect, spirit users call upon their summons and have them fight for them. While you..."
The male ruffled the boys hair. "Ah!-" Shune glared, swatting the mans hand away.
"...Get to borrow a bit of power from your summon and use it to fight"
Shune fixed his hair, before looking at Alexander.
"But i dont get it. Whats so dangerous about that?"
Alexander smiled softly. "The power you borrow becomes far stronger.. but"
"Buuuuuuuut?"
"It costs the user to cut off a few years of their life"
———————————————————————————
Lifting the crystal, shune tilted his head up. Bringing his hand above his mouth. Holding the crystal inside, he crushed it, as the shards fell into his mouth. Dissolving into liquid.
Drinking it, shune tilted his head back down. Staring at celu in sorrow. "..."
Turning around, he slowly made his way out.
"TCH, WHERES SHUNE WHEN YOU NEED HIM??" The group was struggling greatly against the fae.
"Im right here.." Shune said, appearing behind the group, casting a large shield. "You can stop now.. i imagine you've accumulated quite the amount of blot.."
Yuu looked at Shune, he was glad he was ok. Yet, for some reason, Yuu sensed a change about him.
"Leave the rest to me.."
Dashing towards the faec scythe in hand.
"I call upon thee, now is the time to fulfill thy contract"
Shune's eyes glowed aqua-ish green. "Lend me your strength, Torus!"
The sound of flesh being ripped through was heard. As a piercing cry was let out. Tentacles emerged from the males back. Grabbing hold of the glass monster behind the fae.
As they stabbed it. Summon a pool of ice, it rose from the ground rapidly, cause the fae to step back.
Taking his scythe, he shattered the glass head of thé monster. Yet, draconia was still in overblot.
"...die"
He mumbled, sending the fae flying into the air.
"Arg- why you-" Shunes eyes now glowed bright blue, borrowing the speed of lightning.
The two flew in the air. From below, it looked like to massive balls of light clashing fiercely against each other.
Sounds of metal were heard. As the two flew all around the sky. "Fool! You dare to resist your slumber?!"
Malleus shouted in anger. "Foolishly clashing blades against me!" The two flew backwards.
"The only foolish one.."
Shune dashed towards the man.
"IS YOU!"
He shouted in anger, putting so much pressure on his eyes, the blood vessels popped, as he was now crying a stream of bloody tears.
Which soon changed into a bluish color, to match his now glowing blue eyes.
Making a giant slash downwards, the fae's body spewed blood. "Ack!-"
He held his arm around his chest. Not being given a second to adjust, Shune sent a fury of blows towards the man.
"Do me a favor, and die"
Spinning, Shunes leg made contact with the top of the faes head, slamming his leg down. He sent Malleus flying.
Coughing up blood, the fae shot flames at Shune. Tentacles reemerged from his back, grabbing hold of the fae, Shune pulled himself towards him.
Kneeing the fae in his chest wound. Flying back slightly, he sent a foot straight into his side, Breaking a rib, he sent the fae flying in the air once again.
Chasing after the man he sent flying, shune grabbed his head, and slammed it down into the earth. Pulling his head up, Shune repeatedly slammed the faes head in the ground.
Each time, a bigger dent formed in the ground.
The others watched horrified. "OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!-" Shune tossed Malleus in front of him, as the magic hit him instead.
Looking up, he kicked the fae towards the group harshly, before he dodged backwards.
[Imagine the dodging to look like how Noe dodged from Vanitas no Carte, during Noe and Vanitas' first meet cause how tf do u explain that]
"Shune! What were you thinking?! You could of killed him!" Yuu shouted horrified. Shune looked at malleus, watching as the blot faded from the male.
"....hm" Shune said nothing, watching some people give shune a slight glare, or a look of disappointment.
"Tch" Shunes eyes returned back to normal, as the tentacles behind him shattered. "What else was i supposed to fuckin do.." He had a hand on his hips, looking to the side.
Pov: Yuu
"Tsunotaro!" I ran towards Malleus, checking up on him. "Is- is he ganna be ok??" I asked, worried.
I looked at his body. "...Shune went too far.." I mumbled quietly, looking over him in worry. "Umm, is he ganna be ok? That looks like quite the injury.."
Kalim asked, worried. "Tsk, damned human, i'll kill him once i get my hands on him!"
"Honestly, he really went too far"
I sat there as everyone murmured, before realizing something.
"Ah, thats right! The potion"
I took out a healing potion from my pockets, opening it, i dumped it on the fae. Gradually, i saw his wounds starting to fade.
"Ah! Malleus!" I said, excited.
I watched him groan, opening his eyes as he put his hand to his head. "MASTERRRRRRR!" Sebek shouted loudly in tears.
"Malleus.." Lilia sighed.
Pov: Third Person
The group all cheered, happy that they managed to bring him back. Everyone was happy now! Everything had finally been resolved!
.
.
.
.
Everything?
Staring at the scene before him, Shune watched the smiles of joy plastered on his friends faces. "...."
Slowly, turning towards Celu, he walked towards the robot. Standing before his tattered and broken body. Shune picked him up slowly, summoning souls to help pick up some other parts he couldn't hold.
A shadow over his eyes, shune slowly walked outside, trying to ignore the sounds of gleeful chatter. Walking slowly, he turned towards the direction of ramshackle. Slowly, he walked...
Ortho looked to where shune was. His eyes widened, he saw the broken robot in the man's arms. "Ah.. Celu?"
Idia looked at ortho before turning his head in the direction he was looking.
His mouth slightly agape. "..."
———————————————————————————
Walking inside the room, shune opened the hidden compartment. Going down to the bottom floor, as the gates opened.
"Ah, you're back little one-" MoonTerror froze.
The others looked towards the two quietly. Watching as he carried Celu down the long hallway.
The cellias looked at each other, before looking back at Shune. Watching, as the younger male retreated back into his room.
The door opened and closed, as a container, a large container, big enough for a human, appeared out the side. Slowly, turning towards the container, he placed Celu inside, as the robot floated in the container.
Grabbing the other parts, shune placed them where they're supposed to be. Stepping back, the tube closed, turning a light blue.
Placing a hand on the tube, he grit his teeth, falling to his knees. The male let out a blood curling, yet agonizing cry. Placing two hands on the container, his hands balled into fists.
Crying loudly, as his cries echoed throughout the facility. Awakening some monsters, who merely looked up, or stayed in place. The Cellias, looking at each other, put their hands in the center.
"Today, it seems, that a comrade has fallen."
Torus uttered. "Let us bless his soul, as they peacefully move to another place, and live a joyous afterlife"
An orb with colors corresponding to each cellia appeared in their hands. The other monsters in their facilities, raised their hands too, or bowed their heads. As orbs appeared, each of them flying into the sky. Flying out the facility, the orbs flew around night raven.
Symbolizing the scatter of souls. Students at the college, looked up and pointed. While our main group, looked up as well.
|||||||||||||||||||
Shune punched the floor, bloodying his fists. He repeated slammed his fist into the ground. Shouting profanities, he yelled.
Anger and grief filled his heart. Crying loudly, he stood up, and started to break things in his room. Shattering glasses, throwing things across the bedroom.
Falling to the floor once again, he sat on his knees, head down.
———————————————————————————
"Riki?" Blight knocked on the door. "Riki, darling, its been weeks since you've come out the room.."
Blight uttered, worry in her voice. "Rik-"
"Blight" MoonTerror put a hand on her shoulder, shaking her head. The two looked back at the door, before walking away.
Shune was in his room, sitting on the floor and leaning against the container. He had gotten much thinner and he had bags under his eyes. His hair was disheveled and he had yet to change out of his clothes from the battle.
"...hes never coming back.." Shune mumbled. "Theres no one who can fix him.."
Alexander, was the one and only person who could make or create another robot like Celu. Which means that he would be the only one that could fix him.
Shune felt like crying, but he couldn't. He had cried out all his tears, till there were no more. His eyes were dead.
"...I can't live without you"
———————————————————————————
"Hey, have any of yall seen Shune?" Ace questioned Yuu, Grim and Deuce.
"No, i havent, but I honestly dont wanna see him anyway, not after what he did to malleus" Yuu pouted.
"Honestly, did he HAVE to do all of that?" Yuu grumbled. "Hey, who knows, maybe he had a reason. Yanno, like some secret grudge?"
"A reason to almost kill a man?" Jack said from nowhere, walking towards the group with epel.
"I dont think theres a...reason to justify attempted murder" Silver yawned, walking to them with Sebek.
"That damned human, just wait till i give him a peace of my mind!" He said, punching his fists together.
The first years had gathered around, and were now talking with each other.
"Yoo dude!" Extra student number one shouted towards Extra student number 2
"Did you hear? Sorishia is apparently committing suicide!"
"Yo, what? Theres no way! Does that mean all the students he enslaved will go free?"
The first years looked at each other, before nodding.
||||||||||||||||||||
"Dorm head!" Ace shouted towards Riddle. "Hey, i think shune might be deciding to-"
"I know ace. It's currently the talk of the school right now." Riddle said, looking at the people walking around and murmuring.
"This is so strange.." ruggie put his hands behind his head. Most of the students were gathered in one area.
"Isnt he a pretty cheery guy? Whats up with the sudden death talk?" Epel questioned.
The cast had gathered around, all of them talking to one another.
"You cant be surprised.." Idia murmured. "And just what do you mean by that?" Leona raised a brow.
"Well, not to be rude, but i think most of this is because of Mr. Draconias overblot."
Ortho said, as Malleus put a hand to his chin. "Mine?"
"What, do you not remember?"
"You killed Celu"
—————————————————————————
"Pshhhh! What come on, all of this over a robot?" Ruggie grumbled. Ortho had explained what happened to Celu, at least from what he knows.
"Isnt this a bit of an overreaction? Just make another for sevens sake!" Ace sighed.
"But.. what if he cant?.." Yuu mumbled, his eyes widened. The others looked at each other.
"I can get where hes coming from tho.." Idia put a hand on orthos head.
"I don't know what i'd do if i lost ortho.."
"....Ah, i see, so it was because of me.." Malleus looked to the side.
"No, master! It wasn't your fault!"
Sebek shouted as silver nodded along. "Thats right Malleus, this wasnt your fault." Lilia looked at him.
Lilia had ended up deciding to stay for a little longer.
"Hey, did you hear? That Shune guy was spotted at the edge of a cliff!"
The group looked at each other alarmed.
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
Winds blew across the meadow. At the end of the meadow, stood a cliff. At the edge of the cliff, stood a man. A man with greyish red hair, who looked as if he had lost everything.
Lifting his arms up, he breathed in the fresh air. Turning around, shune saw a figure. No.. multiple figures. All dashing towards him.
"SHUNE!!!" Yuu shouted. Panting, he watched as his friends stood before him. Lowering his arms, shune stood there. Staring at them with dead eyes.
"My, isnt this a surprise.." shune looked at everyone before him. "All of you are gathered here.. even, you"
Shune turned towards Malleus, his eyes showing immediate hostility.
"Shune.. i'm sorry- I didn't know that i-"
"Shut it" Shune stared at him. "You think sorry will help? Do you really think that your PATHETIC words will justify what you did?"
"DO YOU THINK LOSING A MEASLY ROBOT JUSTIFIES YOUR ATTEMPTED MURDER AGAINST MY MASTER?!" Sebek shouted in anger.
Silver put a hand in Sebeks shoulder. "Sebek.. this isnt the time.."
"Malleus Draconia" Shune raised his hand and pointed at the male. "I hope you're happy"
Shune glared. "You fucking murderer"
Lifting his arms up, shune fell backwards. "NO!-"
Malleus tried to reach him, but Shune had already fallen off the cliff. Falling rapidly, as his life flashed before his eyes.
"Ah.. Alexander.. Celu"
Shune reached his arm up. "Im coming.. i'll be able to see you guys again"
He smiled softly closing his eyes, as his body made contact with the ground.
Snap!
The cellias looked up. The contact had broken. The contract between them, which could only be broken if the contractor dies.
Meanwhile, in another place.
"Your highness!" The blonde fell to the ground, holding his chest in shock.
"Ignis.." Zeke looked at the chancellor in horror. "Shune- Shune he!-"
———————————————————————————
At the golden gates, Shune looked up with widened eyes. Looking at the two figures as they smiled softly upon him.
Tears formed in his eyes as he ran and hugged them both. Crying loudly.
"...oh Shune" Alexander hugged him. "You idiot..."
