Scythe, Sword And Steel

Chapter 43 - Vance

Lesley decided to go over to Gusion, who was busy refining and repairing his sword on the upper deck. He was holding a hammer and a piece of metal on his hands, hammering the metal hard on the anvil.

"Hey Gus, what are you doing?" she asked.

"I'm... gonna make... this sword... OP!!!" he replied, as he finished hammering the metal.

"So, refining your sword again?"

"No, I'm doing something different."

Gusion took the Twilight Orb in his pocket, and threw it in the air. It started floating and spinning in the air. He then placed his sword on a hole on the Twilight Orb.

"Wait, what are you?"

The Holy Blade started to absorb some of the energy from the Twilight Orb. The orb suddenly started to glow different colors, switching from red to green, and yellow to violet. The sword and the orb spinned faster and faster. Then, as it stopped spinning, Gusion's white sword turned blue and the Twilight Orb went back into it's normal state. As the moon started to rise behind them, Gusion's hair turned into a glowing white.

"W-What? Gusion! What's going on..."

"Oh my God! It worked!"

Gusion was jumping up and down as Lesley stared confused at him. He was holding his blade, and looked at it.

"The Moonlight spell worked!" Gusion said.

"Oh, so this is why they call you the Moonlight Sonata."

"Yeah. I've attempted this spell several times before, and after all these years, I've done it."

"Well, congrats..."

Lesley smiled, trying her best to cover her sadness, but Gusion saw it in her eyes. He put his sword on the table and went closer to her.

"Les, you don't look okay."

"I'm sorry!"

Lesley started crying, unable to hide her tears anymore. Gusion gave her a hug, and she wrapped her arms around him as well.

"H-Harley..."

After a few long minutes, she stopped. The two sat on the chair along the table, while looking up in the sky. Gusion's legs rested on a barrel at his sides. The lanterns on the ship lit up the dark night above the sky.

"I miss my brother." Lesley said.

"Yeah. I can't believe he got brainwashed by some evil genius." Gusion replied.

"The memories we made in the past is slowly coming back. I remember the times when we would watch our favorite soccer show together."

"You watch soccer?"

"Yeah. Most of the time we would imitate the referee in the game, or cheer for our favorite team. I think it was called the Moniyan Football League? I forgot."

While the two were chatting, Layla entered the room, carrying a box of screws.

"Oh, hey Layla!" Lesley said.

"Hey, what's up?" Layla asked.

"I'm fine, I guess."

"So back to your favorite soccer show, who was your favorite team back then?" Gusion asked.

"The Lowroad Mustangs."

"Are you guys talking about soccer?" Layla asked, placing the box on the table.

"Yeah, why?"

"Johnson was actually a former member of the Mustangs, until it all ended because of a severe accident that happened to him."

"Nick Johnson?" Lesley asked.

"Yeah. Now, Dr. Rooney helped him save his life, and transformed him into a race car. I just can't remember how I ended up in Antoinerei again."

"You asked help for Dr. Rooney right? About your magic cannon." Gusion said.

"Oh that reminds me, my brother was a strong mage. When I followed him throughout the shadows, he would beat his opponents with his magical cards." Lesley said.

"Like those metal cards that wounded Alucard? Those cards were as strong as sharp knives!"

"You still can't get Harley off your mind can't you?" Layla asked.

"Of course. He's my brother, and now he's being controlled by some evil mastermind behind V.E.N.O.M."

"He got a version of me too. I guess we're facing a strong enemy in front of us."

"Yeah. I guess that's the last time I'll see my little brother..."

"We'll get him back Les. As long as we're still alive, we can save your brother and the others too."

"Can we get him back?"

"Yeah! Project V.E.N.O.M. has been monitored by S.A.B.E.R. for a while now, and we're gonna put that to an end." Layla said. "We can do it Les!"

"Aww, yoy guys..."

Lesley put her arms around Gusion and Layla. They started laughing and hugged Lesley too.

"We'll save your brother Lesley, but we have a mission in front of us too!"

"Let's do our best guys."
