The Hunt Begins (Dark Data)
#31
The fellowship of the nebula traveled through the wasteland towards the unknown, no one knew what to expect. It became rather quiet as the primes raced through the fields of dead grass, animal carcasses, it was truly the definition of despair. Kanda could never get used to this sight, he hoped someday the moors would be able to transform into a well flourished land that would rival even the beauty that is Camelot. But before a goal like that would be able to become reality the black order has to work hard cleansing the moors.


Chara's threat did not sit well with him, as it looked now this so called ally could become a foe in an instance. It was clear her love for monsters would become an issue as their mission continued, it was clear this nebula, whatever it was, provided plenty of monsters to slay. And no one will stop Kanda from executing his mission from god, an exorcist is chosen for a reason, that reason is to destroy in His name. The exorcist refused to get pulled in to the discussion earlier but it was obvious it was on his mind. He would have to inform the commander about this safe haven for monsters, she will decide the Black order's stance regarding this.


The swordsman was riding his steed, the sound of the machine Revan summoned started to get on his nerves, luckily it was Ash that broke the repetitive sound the machine made. During their travel the two primes started to share experiences, both within the Omniverse and from their own world. Kanda explained how the Black Order had observed the fight of Darkshire but weren't able to send any primes to the town's aid. It was a heavy blow for the organization not being able to get involved and make a difference, things might have played out differently. Allot of speculations that won't do anyone any good. All they could do now is make sure something like that never happens again. The stories Ash shared revealed he had his share of fights against evil as well. Finally Kanda found someone he could consider an ally, besides Revan he was still wary about the others. Time will tell whether his guts was in the right place.


The group started to get close to their destination, Kanda took a moment to observe the others. The long travel started to take its toll, without knowing exactly what was awaiting them at the pillar it would be a tactical move to catch their breath before jumping in a dangerous situation blindfolded.  "It would be wise to take a break." The exorcist suggested towards Ash.


"A break? Are you mad? We need to get our asses over there."


"Look at them! Some are wounded and we are all tired from travelling. If we were to go in now and we are not at our full strength we are no good to anyone. We need to get our energy back up before going in."


The swordsman words made sense, Ash nodded in agreement. Seeing as he and Ash were in front of the group they started to slow down.


"What's going on?"Revan shouted from behind them.


Ash returned a shout, "We're taking a break!"


"A break?!" The response Ash got was exactly his own first thought.


The group came to a halt at a hill. Kanda got off his horse and tied it to a nearby tree stump.


"Why would we stop now?!" One of the ponies spoke from Revan's machine.


"Because we need to regain our Energy. We don't know what's up ahead." The General replied as he sat down upon a fallen tree. The bark crumbled to the ground as the prime placed it weight upon it, just as most things in the moors, this piece of nature's gift has been dead for a while.


Chara did not agree one bit with the General's decision, "Who are you to decide whether we take a break or not? We should keep going!"


Kanda got fed up with her and snapped back, his voice stern and loud, "If you want to go in half assed and get killed then go ahead. I hope Omni sees the stupidity within this decision and leaves you in ashes. You have no idea what kind of creatures and primes are out there!" The exorcist outburst surprised the other primes, Revan decided to stay out of it. Ash walked up to get between the two but it was help from an unexpected corner that was the voice of reason. It was Celestia who calmed the discussion before it escalated, " stop your bickering, Kanda is right, if we go in without knowing what to expect we might all find ourselves in mortal danger. Let's be of use to this verse, the innocent people living here and defeat this threat together. " These with truth filled words silenced all primes gathered and allowed them to take a breather.


Ash sat down next to Kanda, "So what did you mean when you said we had no idea what kind of creatures and primes are out there?"


Kanda stared intensely in front of him, taking a few seconds before responding, " There are primes out there with powers you can't even imagine. The prime that killed me, known as harbringer, was a fusion between four primes. I've never seen anything like it. We gave it everything we had and more. But in the end we barely scratched it. My innocence powers allowed me to fuse with one of my allies, together we entered the angelic form, also gifted to me by my innocence cube. With all that strength we were able to keep up speed wise but the end result was the same. In the end darkness set in and my body grew cold. It was a nightmare, a dream where you keep running but never move an inch. If we are hunting an enemy that comes even remotely close to something like Harbringer we are screwed. That's why I want to give us every advantage I can think of, whether its a rest or a kick in the ass to wake up."


The group listened to the exorcist's story and realized they didn't know what kind of danger this Nebula was, nor how to fight it. The depressing thought started to sink in. But before things got worse Ash stepped in, "Lucky for us we have some experienced people here, together we will prevail." Celestia immediately jumped on the positive tone, "Darn right we will!"


Finally the primes started to act like a team, preparing themselves for the battle ahead. Though the Nebula had different plans. The earth below their feet started to shake, it started out slow at first but it got more intense. Attempting to keep their balance the primes got up and secured their horses. after mere seconds the shaking stopped. This earthquake was a clear warning, evil is here and it's not waiting any longer.


"Alright everyone, let's move out!" General Kanda shouted. It was time to see this thing through. The next chapter of this quest was about to be unfold.
