Banished Library - Gensokyo | Dusk

John was a little shocked that Patchouli would kill him so ruthlessly, but then again, he really was a monster. The only thing John found slightly unsettling was the fact that Patchouli was as ruthless as she was about it. Even John keep a sort of detached mindset when he killed somebody. He never let his emotions cloud his mind. After John would get Yuuka's soul, he would need to talk to Patchouli about it. As they say, he who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. John may have been a soldier, but he wasn't illiterate.

John walked up to Patchouli and looked at the head in her hand.

"I don't think that's necessary. I'm not sure if Koakuma even cares about him anymore, and bringing the head would only frighten her", John calmly said to Patchouli as he walked over to Elios's body.

"I'm fine, Renamon. I can unwrap this myself." Patchouli said. She was sweating, even though the library was anything but hot. "It's just that... I can't do it with all these dudes around."

"Don't question my motives. Isn't it technically your job to retrieve the Soul Vault?" Patchouli pointed out to John.

"Yes. I was just concerned. I haven't seen many soldiers show the same aggressiveness as you.", John calmly explained to Patchouli as he approached the back room.

As John arrived at the door, he opened it and walked inside to get access to the Soul Vault.

Nera couldnpt help but laugh "Seriously? after having to deal with monster, guards, a freaking puzzles and your megalomaniac father, you are embarrased of being watched?" she asked smiling

Renamon bonked the lucario´s head "You have no right to ask since you have fur" she said while searhing for anything related to clothing

Have you ever crossed the line between sanity and madness? You would be amazed by what lies beyond the fog..

City Streets - London | Dawn

After Eve slapped Elsword into submission she turned around and began to walk away without saying anything.

Raven turned to Lily and sighed. "More often that not... In fact the first thing Eve ever did when she first saw Elsword... was slapped him, and that was right after she woke up after being asleep for a few thousand years..." Raven said as he watched Eve walk away.

Chung after seeing Eve walking away quite casually quickly runs up to her. "Eve wait! Where are you going!? Aren't you going to stay with us? I mean... we've been looking for you for quite a while now..." Chung said as Eve stopped and turned to him.

"I apologize greatly Chung, but the Queen of the Nasods is not in presentable condition... I have yet to get the proper repairs for my injuries that I sustained during our last battle against demons in our realm..." She said as she grabbed her shoulder as if she was not only nervous, but in pain. Slapping Elsword had put a bit of strain on the not so good repairs she had on her body. It wasn't immediately obvious that she was injured at all... but her internal works are not in perfect condition.

"Yeah, what she said." Patchouli sighed and referred to Renamon as she opened the small door to a small library... well more like a storage room... but it was filled with regal aura that made common men bow down. There were tomes of forgotten spells, scrolls of unbounded knowledge, weapons of divine power... and in the midst of it all was a familiar face for Patchouli.

"...Bailey?" Patchouli raised her eyebrow as the man known as Bailey looked over to see what the commotion was about.

"...Mistress?"




Bailey was old, with balding gray hair that was roughed around the sides and a crisp attire that looked like it was out of the 1800s. He was amiable, friendly, and perhaps too cautious, as he watched his step wherever he went... screw that though, Bailey was so happy to see Patchouli, after 200 years, that he bursted out of the heap of magical items and knelt to Patchouli, held her non-blade hand, and kissed it.

"I... I don't know what to say... to meet you... here and now..." Bailey gasped for joy, and Patchouli too looked happy, but she also had anxiety and distress in her voice when she said:

"Quick, Bailey, we shall talk later, but right now I... we... must find Soul Vault." Patchouli fidgeted around as the blade arm turned into a regular Patchouli arm: without the steel-like paper skin. "I trust that you can find it in a quick moment?"

"In seconds." Bailey said as he briskly walked into the heap. "Follow me, please!"

John followed the man closely behind, wanting to get to the Soul Vault as soon as possible. John only hoped it wasn't too late for Yuuka.






City Streets - London | Dawn

Based on Eve's voice, Daniel could figure out that she was a machine of some kind, almost like their AIs in Prometheus Labs. Of course, Daniel had seen many people try to hide injuries, especially fellow Spartans, and based on Eve's body language, she was injured. After hearing that she was going to leave, Daniel decided to step in, especially considering that Eve was Chung, Raven,... and maybe Elsword's friend.

"If you need repairs, we have people that can help back in Prometheus Labs. If you want, you can come with us.", Daniel said to Eve.


Lily looked back over to Raven and observed how he didn't seem to notice his injuries.

"So how are your ribs?", Lily asked Raven.


Jack was still dumbfounded that Eve would slap Elsword so aggressively, especially in his condition. What surprised Jack even more was the fact that he was caught off guard by the sudden slapping session. He was always prepared and was never surprised.

"What the hell?", Jack muttered under his breath as he looked at the unconscious Elsword in his grasp.

After a moment, Jack walked over to one of the Warthogs and placed Elsword in the back of the vehicle, right next to the Gauss Cannon.

Quietly, after hearing Patchouli's predicament, Kenway had taken off his Assassin cloak and placed it over Patchouli's shoulders. "Until you find some proper clothes, aye?"
The Cloak was large on Patchouli as it was meant for a grown man. Kenway was left in part of it with his original sailor outfit he had before, with some of his tattoos showing. He wrapped a bandanna around his head as he then addressed the man, Bailey. "Pray tell, did anything new happen about here? A crystal skull of sorts with a slot in the forehead..."

"Impressive collection you git here Mr. Bailey" Renamon greeted the man guarding the room and was curious to see what was hiding between the many tomes and chests

"I'll get to you in one second, sir." Bailey said as he navigated to an antique basket with scrolls inside... copy of the Elder Scroll, Dead Sea Scrolls, and, amidst it, Soul Vault.

Soul Vault was written on papyrus, with golden casing to denote the importance of the scroll. The decorative markings on the case made the scroll look Egyptian.

"Here we are." Bailey said as he handed it to Patchouli, who handed it to John. "I was stuck in this place, forced by your father, for as long as I can remember... and during that time I identified the purpose of the majority of these items here.... but not this... never this... I cannot fathom what one could do with that."

"We're using it to recover a soul." Patchouli said as the cloak was slapped on top of her. "...Oh, thank you."

Patchouli immediately returned back to her human self, her bare skin covered by Kenway's cloak. Transformation into the monster cost Patchouli a lot of mana, but she kept standing until the last of the paper dissipated. Then, she collapsed.

"Let me just lay here for a minute..."


"It isn't mine... it is Master Elios'." Bailey commented. "But it seems that he is Master no more, for he is dead. Therefore, perhaps all these are rightfully mine... something I have never thought of."
