Hailstorm: A Burdened World

I honestly wasn't sure what to make of this when I first saw the title. I am glad that I stuck around long enough to read it all. Totally surprised by what the plot and premise were. I am definitely interested. :3

Cerden definitely understood why the one called Ace distrusted him. If Cerden were the kid, he would distrust someone who just appeared out of nowhere and didn’t say but a single word until the danger that presented itself to him was gone. Even while one of the females spoke in Cerden’s defense, that didn’t change the attitude that Ace had towards Cerden at the moment. Perhaps if Cerden had introduced himself and explained himself first and not simply state that the machines were created by his brother, then maybe the first impression would be different. However, that was neither here nor there.

When the youth spoke to Cerden about giving him a reason to trust him and not walk away. Cerden eyed Ace for a few seconds. He had to give the kid his kudos for not being stupid. Cerden could definitely tell that this kid was the leader of the Unbound Hearts. He could also tell that for the Unbound Hearts to be a real threat to the Empire, he would have to be a good leader, one who his friends respect and at the same time, probably fear. Of course, it was probably the former more than the latter.

Smiling, Cerden spoke. “I like you, Ace.” Cerden said. “You’re not one to trust strangers so easily and I can definitely tell why you Unbound Hearts are a threat to the Empire. The fact that Nomis had to spread that phony propaganda is absolute proof of that.” Cerden said to Ace, but he cleared his throat once. “I’m getting off topic.” Cerden said, “I can help you and your friends. I know a great deal about how those machines work and I can tell you how you can defeat them.” Cerden told Ace and the other teens.

"If you think tha--" Before Cerden even got a response in or from of any of the kids, he took notice to the once destroyed machines now putting their form back together and into a much more menacing one at that. In the process of doing that, Cerden noticed blue static being present. The white-haired man wasn’t sure exactly what was going on, but based on what he was seeing, he had came up with the conclusion that Nomis was still in range to be able to bend the Taint Metal Machines back together. Even more so, it seemed that there were eye-like machines leading the charge.

When the newly-formed, single machine was completed in its thick form, Cerden noticed that it was solely fixated on him. Cerden expected as such since it was pretty much acting like how Nomis would react if he were present. Regardless, Cerden didn’t care if it was on him or the others. The end result would be the same. The machine would be done for good and the threat to Cerden and the teens would be non-existent.

Once the machine had launched its heavy, thick frame in a spinning-like motion, almost like a spinning top, Cerden’s eyes closed and he would simply hear the giant machine coming at them with sheer ferocity. His feet would firmly stick to the ground and by way of sending pulses of energy through the ground, Cerden caused the ground to split slightly, mainly underneath the machine. On the very moment that he did that, Cerden would implement his power of earth to propel the machine upward. Even though he barely made it go up, the momentum of the machine caused it go higher via the spinning it had done. Cerden then would open his eyes and on that same instant, translucent glass surrounded his arms. He would then manipulate the earth beneath him to propel him up, to which he was above the machine. He raised both of his arms and by slicing downward, the glass extended into two long swords of glass from his wrists. The glass would then slice through machine’s thick metal, causing it to split into three separate pieces. However, just as the three pieces were about to fall, Cerden, who was still in the air, slashed nine times — horizontal, vertical, diagnal, horizontal, vertical, diagonal, horizontal, diagonal. The end result was bits and pieces of the machine dropping to the ground, causing sounds of concrete-on-metal being heard.

Cerden touched ground just five seconds after the now demolished machine did, glass fading away into little shards and hitting the ground. Cerden looked to the group, recalling what the Chinese flame chick said to him. Or rather, what she pretty much yelled to him. All he did was smile at her. "I'm sorry. When a machine deathtrap is coming at you so fast, it's kind of hard to keep focus on properly responding to someone." Cerden said chuckling. "Anyways, I am not working with my brother or apart of the Empire. In all honesty, I despise what he has become, but that's beside the point." Cerden stopped himself from going on like a broken record. "Let me introduce myself. " Cerden said approaching the group, friendly smile on his face. "My name is Cerden Celebrindal, former General of The Empire and I am not an evil douchebag my like brother." Cerden said holding out his hand.

Did a moderately short Cerden post.

It was like destruction was the only thing that the Empire knew how to do. First Nomis explodes The Empire’s warehouse and then he blames it on the Unbound Hearts .Now he speaks more propaganda to reassure the citizens of Hollow Bastion that the empire was not at fault, even being so bold as to tell them that they should go to their homes and let the empire protect them. Yeah, that got under Cerden’s skin just a bit. He knew exactly how The Empire was and they wanted to control, not protect people.

Standing on top of a building, Cerden heard and saw it all. He heard Nomis’ words and he saw his brother get into a car with a teen. Cerden was sure that was his son. He didn’t have time to worry about them as they had left in a car and were out of Cerden’s range. Well, at least for the time being they were. Cerden would then notice that not only had Hollow Bastion been overrun by heartless, but machines of Nomis’ Taint Metal were also present. By the looks of it, the Unbound Hearts were holding their own against the enemy forces. However, Cerden knew it better than anyone that the only way for the taint machines to be properly destroyed was to destroy the Heart Gear. Obviously the Unbound Hearts did not know about that. At least, not yet they didn’t.

Leaping from the top of the building, Cerden’s body was heading skull-first as he was upsidedown. However, at the right moment, Cerden’s body half-flipped, and he landed one knee on the ground, with his fist on it, hair forward. He then looked up, hair whipping back, and he would see one of the teens take a sword and turn their arm into steel. Cerden had to admit that it was mighty impressive, especially the way the teen was able to manhandle the heartless and machines. Still, Cerden knew that the machines would still be a problem. Perhaps not the ones that the teen destroyed, but more would come.

Cerden eyed the teen who was among company of other teens. He smiled at the fact that they were so young and yet, as he looked at them, they had a certain aura about them that spoke the future of warriors. Cerden saw a bright future for those kids. Still, even as he wanted to leave them be, Cerden knew that he couldn’t do that. He would approach them casually, clapping his hands, no doubt they would take notice. “I must applaud you. That was some mighty fine work you did to those machines.” Cerden said smiling at the group of teens. “However, if you think that they will stay down for much longer, you are sadly mistaken.” Cerden informed them. “They are, after all, my brother’s own creations.”

Jaakuna was surprised that Aloa wasn’t going to go to Stigma right away, but she probably had other things to attend to before she made the trip. Instead, she would bid Jaakuna and Emiri farewell as she went deeper into the village. As she did, Jaakuna heard Emiri ask if Jaakuna was alright and that if anything happened in Stigma. Instantly, Jaakuna felt a certain worry inside him. Emiri didn’t know all the details. Jaakuna wasn’t even sure if Emiri even was aware of the fact that Stigma magicite mine of Anther was hit and that both her father and mother were caught in the explosion, with the latter being killed and the former in critical condition.

Taking himself out of his deep thought, Jaakuna breathed in deeply and let it out, which was when Jaakuna noticed Emiri’s hand holding his. He smiled at her. “There was an explosion in Stigma.” Jaakuna told her, “Your parents..” Jaakuna stopped himself, not even wanting to be the one to tell her that she might become an orphan today.

Hearing Grant’s rather negative thoughts on the whole matter of how their luck seemed to be on the rare side, Savayna wanted to hit him for being so gloomy and on the pessimistic side, but she had to admit that there was some truth in the words that he spoke. It seemed that every time that the group, be it only two of them or all six of them, had at least one thing go wrong that would create a domino effect of a bunch of other unlucky things happening to them. That was when Grant would express his gratitude that after Ultima, he, at least, wouldn’t have any other reason to come back to Giruvegan. Savayna had to agree with that as well.

As Grant went on about his discontent with Giruvegan, Nadeline came into the conversation asking Grant that if he really was wanting for their adventure to end. Nadeline then pointed out that once they rid the world of Zodiark and anything having to do with evil, they wouldn’t be able to get together as they are right now, which she would further point out that that it really will be over before it even got a chance to even begin. That actually hit Wesley a bit hard. The fact that this might be one of the few times they would all be together really made it all so real to him. To think that after Zodiark and Shion’s group are gone, will the six of them really have any reason to still hang out as they have been? They’re all important people and each from different countries.

As Wesley pondered further on everything that Nadeline and Grant had said, the latter one would bring up that he was tired of risking his life. However, he would raise the question on who out of the group would marry first. That sparked a general intrigue among the group. Though, before Wesley could even respond, Nadeline would grab his arm, prompting him slightly grunt, but he smiled at her as she looked all giddy. Nadeline would add her opinion on who would marry first and she would state that Jaakuna would be ready to settle down, so that would only leave the option of Nadeline and Wesley.

“Um, hello!” Savayna said clearing her throat as loud as she could. “Not even going to include Grant and I, huh?” Savayna said with a slight pissy attitude.

Wesley eyes blinked as he looked at Savayna. He didn’t know that she had even thought about that. His gaze was on her, and then it shifted to Grant and back to Savayna. “Oh, I wasn’t aware that you two were--”

“We’re not, but that doesn’t mean that we couldn’t be.” Realizing what she just said, Savayna’s face was beet read. Oh dear, what have I just done?
