Shukufuku no Campanella: Happy Ever After

<< < (3/3)

Sunflorazumarill:
Note: Due to post limitations, this chapter had to be split in two.

Back at the Oasis house, the newlyweds discover that Agnes and Miriam are waiting for them inside. Carina and Leicester decide to tell them what happened.

Agnes: Leicester, Carina, nice to see you again.

The puppeteer goes up to Carina and hugs her for a few seconds.

Agnes: I heard what happened to Minette and Chelsea.

Miriam: How was your honeymoon, you two?

Leicester: Well, the man that stole the Blue Prismati Relic and kidnapped Minette…

Carina: He then came to where we were at and attacked us.

Agnes: He did?! What happened?!

Leicester: He demanded we give him the Red Prismati Relic.

Carina: And then when he beat him down, he revealed Minette's ribbon to us, saying if we wanted to see her again, to bring him the Red Prismati Relic.

Agnes: You think that's bad? Before stealing the blue one, that man broke into the cathedral and stole the green one as well.

Carina has a short flashback to when she and Leicester fought Telios. One of the Prismati Relics he used was the green one, which he trapped Carina under vines using.

Carina: He did have the green one with him!

Leicester: I just realized something else about which ones he has!

A short flashback of an earlier part of the battle occurs, where Telios used the Yellow Prismati Relic to attack Carina and Leicester.

Leicester (Voice-over): Mizeh Altworth normally has the Yellow Relic. If Telios had that one as well…

The flashback ends.

Agnes: (Angrily) That monster attacked my maitresse?!

Carina: He must've done so.

Miriam: How many Prismati Relics does he have?

Leicester: I can remember him using the Orange Relic, the Green Relic, the blue one, the violet one, yellow, teal, and indigo.

Carina: The only one he doesn't have is the Red Relic.

While the newlyweds are discussing the Prismati Relics with Agnes and Miriam, two people are listening in on the conversation. They happen to be the Tortilla Sisters, atop Golem.

Salsa: Ritos, what's going on in there?

Ritos: Leicester and Carina are back from their honeymoon, but something happened that's connected to the Green and Blue Prismati Relics being stolen.

Salsa: What exactly could it be?

Ritos: From what they said, they were attacked by the same person that stole the Relics, and that person also took Minette.

Salsa: (A little shocked) Minette's been kidnapped?!

Ritos: Yeah. The man wants Leicester and Carina to bring him the Red Relic.

Salsa: Well, what does he want them for?

Ritos: They haven't discussed it yet. Let's listen some more.

Back with the main conversation, Carina and Leicester start discussing with Agnes and Miriam about what Telios might want with the Prismati Relics. At this point, Nick comes into the house, and with him is Garnet.

Nick: Leicester, Carina, I heard what happened.

Leicester: (To Nick) Nick, glad you and Garnet could come. (To Garnet) Garnet, what do you know about the Prismati Relics?

Carina: If could really help us figure out what Telios is up to.

Garnet: Listen closely, everyone, because I'm only going to tell you about the Relics once.

Everyone listens closely on what Garnet had to say about the Prismati Relics.

Garnet: We are not sure who created the Prismati Relics, as the records have been lost to history. However, what I do know is that they are the keys to discovering the Rainbow Castle, within the center of the Rainbow Castle lies the…

Carina: Spectral Prism!

Garnet: Hey! I wasn't finished!

Carina: Sorry, but I should’ve realized it all this time! Telios wants the Prismati Relics so that he can activate the Spectral Prism!

Leicester: (To Carina) Yeah. Your father said that Telios was obsessed with the Prismati Relics, and you did remind me about the Rainbow Castle.

Agnes: What is it you're getting at?

Garnet: Like I was saying before I was rudely interrupted, the Spectral Prism is a diverging point, where all El energy comes together when the Artifact is activated.

Carina: And if Telios activates the Spectral Prism, he'll divert all the El into the world into himself, and if he does that…

Leicester: He could destroy the entire world.

Miriam: If he harnesses all the El in the world, that would mean Minette…

Carina: (Slightly worried) Will die.

Agnes: (To Miriam) You might, too, Miriam.

Miriam: (Worried) I might, too?

Tango: Don't forget I would, too.

Nick: So let me get this straight. There's someone that's out to harness all the world's El by using the Prismati Relics, and he's using Minette as a bargaining chip to get the last Relic?

Leicester: We're going to get the other Prismati Relics from him back.

Carina: And we're going to rescue Minette from him.

Leicester: We're going to need all the help we can.

Agnes: Count me in! If this Telios hurt my maitresse, then I'm with you all the way!

Nick: If we're talking about the world here, then I'll also give it my best!

Miriam: I don't know if I can do much, but for Minette, I'm coming as well.

Garnet: Maybe I could lend a hand as well.

Carina: Thank you all. It means so much to us that you're all willing to help.

Leicester: (To Carina) Carina, honey. Maybe you could try looking up the Rainbow Castle in the cathedral library. If Telios makes it there first…

Carina: (To Leicester) We may need to know where it is ourselves.

Leicester: I don't think these directions he gave me point to the Rainbow Castle itself.

Carina: Leicester and I will go check the library. (To Leicester) Ready to go, my love?

Leicester: (To Carina) Ready, my sweet.

Leicester and Carina take each other's hands and share a kiss, amazing everyone else in the room.

Miriam: It's so sweet how much they love each other.

Agnes: Yeah. I'm happy for them.

A little later, Carina and Leicester are inside the library of the cathedral, hoping to find anything pertaining to the Rainbow Castle.

Carina: (Holding out Montecchia) Monte, we need to find information pertaining to the Prismati Relics. Keyword: Spectral Prism.

Monte: Searching for information on Spectral Prism.

A number of books start to glow and start floating out of their places in the bookshelves, then float around the area.

Monte: No results for Spectral Prism.

Carina: Then try this. Keyword: Rainbow Castle.

Some more books come out of the shelves and start floating around.

Monte: No results for Rainbow Castle.

All the books float back to their respective spots and stop glowing.

Leicester: (To Carina) It's just like when you and Monte tried searching for information on the Hooded Waterwheel.

Carina: Yeah, sweetheart. I guess the Rainbow Castle has never been discovered.

Leicester: (Putting his hands on Carina's shoulders) Maybe we don't need to look up the Rainbow Castle. It's better that we don't know its location.

Carina: You're right. My father did say that it should never be found.

Carina wraps her arms around her husband and kisses him on the lips. Leicester kisses back during the sweet kiss. They then gently break the kiss.

Carina: But one thing's for sure. I love you.

Leicester: Oh, I love you, too.

Carina: We should get back to the others.

Carina gently lets go of Leicester, who takes his hands of off her shoulders. A while later, the newlyweds are outside the cathedral, where Agnes, Nick, Miriam, and Garnet are waiting for them. They also notice that Chelsea is there as well, wearing her normal outfit and sitting in a wheelchair held by Nina.

Leicester: Chelsea, what are you doing here?

Chelsea: I know you think I'm in no condition to fight, but I'm coming with you. You both need me for this.

Carina: No, Chelsea. Look at you. You can't even walk right now.

Agnes: We went over the check up on her.

Nina: We tried to tell her she was still too injured, but she was persistent.

Leicester: Chelsea, I don't mean to be rude, but you're staying here.

Chelsea: I can manage, Leicester. The special bandages that I have are working pretty well.

Chelsea tries to stand up out of the wheelchair, but falls back into it after a couple seconds.

Carina: See, Chelsea. You can't even stand up. Leicester and I both think it's best that you sit this one out.

Nick: We agree with you. She's unable to fight.

Agnes: Well, didn't you say Telios told you we have until sunset tomorrow to bring him the Red Prismati Relic?

Leicester: Yes, (Pauses for a moment) he did.

Carina: We should get going if we're going to make it there in time.

Leicester: (To Carina) Right. (To Nina) Nina, please take Chelsea to the Oasis house with you.

Nina: Okay.

Nina takes Chelsea back to Oasis' house due to her being incapacitated to fight. Looking up into the sky, Leicester and Carina think about the plan to save Minette.

[Music: Sonic Adventure 2: Strategy]

Leicester: Okay. Are we all ready to go?

Carina: We can't let Telios win.

Agnes: Don't forget we have to save Minette, too!

Garnet: Telios can't activate the Spectral Prism.

Nick: You're right about that. I don't want to deal with another El anomaly.

Miriam: We should contact Aberdeen as well.

Carina: (To Miriam) We'll meet up with along the way.

Leicester: He and Avril should be able to help us.

Leicester, Carina, and their friends all start heading to go save Minette, get the Prismati Relics back, and defeat Telios. Meanwhile, outside the Oasis house, Chelsea is still sitting in her wheelchair when Salsa and Ritos come to her riding on Golem. As it turns out, they know where Leicester, Carina, and co. is headed.

Ritos: (To Chelsea) We have room for one more.

Salsa: (To Ritos) No We don't!

Ritos: (To Salsa) Well, you can trail behind.

Chelsea: Just what are you talking about?

Ritos: (To Chelsea) Leicester and Carina may not realize it, but we could help them as well, and so can you.

Chelsea: Are you saying that?

Golem takes its right hand, gently grabs Salsa, and sets her on the ground, then goes and picks up Chelsea and sets her on its right shoulder.

Ritos: Are you ready to go, Chelsea?

Chelsea: I guess I am. I still don't know if I can walk, though.

Ritos: Don't worry. Let Golem do all the walking.

Golem: Golem!

Ritos: Golem, let's follow Leicester and Carina's trail.

Salsa: Hey! Wait for me!

Golem starts heading off in the direction that Leicester, Carina, and friends are going, Salsa having to trail behind the mecha.

[Strategy ends]

Author Notes
Sorry for the wait, but I've finally got Chapter 6 finished. Here, we find about Telios's past and what he wants with the Prismati Relics, as well as prepare to eventually face him.

Also, about Chelsea, from the moment I decided for her to get slashed, I had no intention of killing her off. In fact, she's not even going to let what happened to her stop her from helping out her friends.

I hope I didn't rush any part of this chapter. However, I might take a bit of a break from writing this fanfic to pursue other things.

Sunflorazumarill:
Chapter 7: To the Darkness

Leicester, Carina, and the rest of the Oasis group are about to leave Ert'Aria to take a train that will take them to Mizeh Altworth's house, where Aberdeen and Avril are at. However, just a bit away from the cathedral happens to be Leicester's parents, Nagan and Shelley, who are aware of the situation and what their son and daughter-in-law are going to do.

Nagan: Leicester, we've heard where you plan on going. Are you sure you want to do this? I'm well aware of what the Spectral Prism can do if Telios manages to activate it.

Shelley: If anything, you two have your hearts set on rescuing Minette. I just hope you come back. (To Carina) Carina, you owe it to Leicester to give me a grandchild.

Carina: (A little angry) Shelley, that is not the time for that! And besides, Minette is technically your granddaughter.

Shelley: I mean one from you, Carina. You're now married to Leicester. (Slightly sultry eyes.). You owe it to him to bare his children.

Carina: (Blushing a bit slightly) Bare his children?

Carina thinks a little bit about what Shelley had just told her. Leicester and Carina do hope to have at least one child other than Minette someday, a child that the two of them actually conceive themselves.

However, now is not the time for that. Minette's in danger, and Carina and Leicester will do whatever it takes to save her. With that in mind, the newlyweds and their friends must get going, as there's no time to waste.

Leicester: Mom, Dad. We really need to go.

Carina: Leicester and I can talk about having children later.

Leicester: What matters right now is Minette.

Nagan: We understand. All of you, please be careful. Telios could try anything.

Leicester: We're aware of that.

Carina: We'll be going now then.

With that settled, Leicester, Carina, Agnes, Nick, and Miriam (Garnet is back is her jewel for the time being), set off to reach the train to go to Ms. Altworth's lab.

[Music: Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword: Statue of the Goddess]

A couple hours later, Oasis reaches Ms. Altworth's house, any interference that they encountered the last time they came here is no longer present. They find Aberdeen and Avril standing just outside the door, having recovered a little from their injuries from Telios's attack two nights ago.

Agnes: (Running up to Aberdeen) Aberdeen! How's my mother?! Was she hurt?!

Aberdeen: Fortunately, she wasn't. That man managed to almost kill me and Avril, though. We're lucky to be alive.

Agnes: Can I please see her?

Aberdeen: Of course you can. She's right inside.

Agnes heads inside along with Aberdeen and Avril, the rest of the group following. Agnes goes up to her mother and maitresse and hugs her.

Anges: Mother, I'm glad you're all right, I was worried when I heard that Telios guy took the Yellow Prismati Relic from you. I thought you've might been hurt.

Mizeh: I'm fine. I'm glad you're still safe.

Carina: We already know that Telios has all the Prismati Relics but one.

Leicester: He also has Minette.

Carina: We won't let that monster harm her!

Agnes: (To Aberdeen) Aberdeen, can you and Avril please come with us to save Minette?

Carina: Yes. We could use all the help we can get here.

Aberdeen: Fine. We'll come help you.

Nick: Are we going to get going anytime soon?

Leicester: Right. We better get going,

Mizeh: All of you. Be careful out there. The power Telios wields with the Prismati Relics is immense, Please don't underestimate him.

Carina: We got it.

With everything settled here, the newlyweds, their friends, and their two most recent acquired allies exit the house head off to take a train north, towards where Telios is.

[Statue of the Goddess ends]

[Music: Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword: Lord Ghirahim's Theme]

Meanwhile, in someplace cold and snowy, Telios has Minette with him, who is able to feel the cold, despite being an automaton.

Telios: I let your "parents" know about your current condition and told them to bring the Red Prismati Relic to me. I can see they care for you very much.

Minette: Mama told me about how powerful the Prismati Relics are, and Grandpa told me about the Rainbow Castle! You plan on doing something bad, aren't you?!

Telios: Bad? Maybe you see it as bad, but once I have the last Prismati Relic, I will become more powerful than anyone's ever been. Unfortunately for you, a sacrifice must be made, and your core will be fed to the Spectral Prism.

Minette: My core?

Telios: Yes, my dear Minette. A powerful source of El must be used to activate the Spectral Prism in addition to the Prismati Relics, and your core will do perfectly.

Minette: Does that mean…

Telios: I'm afraid so, but you'll see Leicester and Carina one last time before then.

Minette gasps as she understands what Telios is telling her.

[Lord Ghirahim's Theme ends]

Meanwhile, Leicester, Carina, Agnes, Nick, Miriam, Aberdeen, and Avril have boarded a train that's headed north.

Agnes: So how long until we reach where we're supposed to go?

Leicester: It'll take until morning for the train to reach its destination, but the path we'll be taking goes far beyond that. It's across mountains people rarely travel.

Carina: That doesn't matter. We need to rescue Minette and stop Telios from using the Prismati Relics.

Nick: If I didn't know better, I think Telios wants to use the Prismati Relics and the Spectral Prism to give himself power similar to that of a god.

Agnes: Nick, I think you may be right about that. Why else would someone like him want to find the Rainbow Castle?

Leicester: I'm afraid for Minette.

Carina: Me, too. I just hope Telios doesn’t harm her.

Meanwhile, in the back car of the train, amongst all the luggage, Salsa, Ritos, and Chelsea happen to also be aboard the train, along with Golem. Chelsea has to sit down on a large box due to her still being unable to walk.

Chelsea: If I'm still unable to walk, how can I even fight?

Salsa: Don't worry! Golem is able to carry you around. You would try fighting that way.

Golem: Golem!

Ritos: You shouldn't forget we may also need Golem to fight as well.

Salsa: I haven't forgotten.

Chelsea: Exactly how long will it take the train to reach where we're going?

Ritos: From what I've heard, it'll take until morning.

Salsa: Morning?! I can't wait here until then! What are we going to eat?!

Ritos: Don't worry, I brought us some food.

Ritos gets out a bag of various kinds of food, mainly bread and meat.

Ritos: But I only packed enough food for two, and given Chelsea's condition, I think she should have half of it.

Salsa: WHAT?! What about me?! Don't tell me you're going to have the other half?!

Ritos: Actually, no. I'm not really that hungry. You can have the rest.

Salsa: (Shocked) YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!! YOU CAN'T JUST DENY ME OF NOUR… (Realizing Ritos's statement) …did you say you weren't hungry?

Ritos: Correct. (Giving Salsa the bag) Take half of what's in here, and save the rest for Chelsea.

Salsa happily takes half of the food out of the bag and immediately starts eating it. Ritos then takes the bag back and gives it to Chelsea so that she can have the other half.

Chelsea: Thanks you two.

Ritos: (Looking back to Salsa) I said you could have half of the food! I didn't say you should eat it all in one go!

However, it's too late, as Salsa has already ate her half of the food.

Much later, night has fallen a few hours ago, and the Oasis group are now in one of the sleeper cars of the train, each of them but Carina and Leicester already in their bed clothes and asleep in some of the beds.

Leicester happens to be getting ready for bed when he sees his wife in her normal outfit. Actually, she's only wearing the top part of her outfit, which the front of is opened up to reveal her bra and panties. Leicester can't help but look at Carina's smooth stomach and she gently breathes in and out. However, she's still worried about Minette, and thus has a worried look on her face.

Leicester: Carina, sweetheart. What is it?

Carina: I'm worried about Minette. (Crossing her arms in front of her stomach) She's my daughter now and I fear for her life just like any mother would in this situation.

Seeing Lady Carina worried about Minette and himself worried, Leicester goes up to her and wraps his arms around her from behind. Carina is able to feel her husband's warm arms against the soft skin of her stomach as he gives her a soft kiss on her left cheek.

Leicester: I am too, Carina. The two of you mean more to me than anything or anyone in the world. For either of you, I would give my life.

Carina: (As Leicester gently unwraps his arms, Carina turning to face him) Your life? What are you talking about?

Leicester: About a week before we got married, my dad asked me if I'm able to put you before myself, and the answer is yes. I love you and Minette so much. So much in fact if I had to die to protect the two of you, I would.

Carina: (Almost like she's going to cry) Leicester, my love, don't say that. I don't know what I would do if you died.

Carina, more worried than ever, goes into Leicester's arms and starts crying a little. Leicester gently rocks his wife in place, knowing well how much she means to him. As he consoles her, Leicester puts his ear to Carina's chest and listens to her heartbeat.

"thu-thump", "thu-thump", "thu-thump", "thu-thump", "thu-thump"

Leicester takes his ear off Carina's chest and gently grabs the Rainbow Crystite necklace hanging on her neck. Looking at the most important gift he had ever given her, Leicester knows how much his wife, as well as his daughter, both mean to him.

Leicester: We'll rescue Minette. I promise.

The newlyweds share a passionate kiss, although it's bittersweet due to the fact they're both scared for Minette's life. As the kiss breaks, the two of the look into each other's eyes.

Carina: Leicester, promise you'll never leave me as long as either of us lives, and swear that Minette will be all right.

Leicester: I promise to do both.

[Faron Woods ends]

Author Notes
TERRIBLY SORRY FOR WAITING 8 MONTHS BEFORE UPDATING THIS FIC AGAIN!!

There's no excuse having waited so long to continue this story. I guess what happened was that when I decided to take a break from writing it, I lost interest in it. I kept saying I would finish it and never did.

However, I've just FINALLY gone and finished the next chapter of the fic (which I actually started 3 1/2 months ago) and I'll try to keep myself focused on the fic so that I'll finish it.

Now with that out of the way, here's the next chapter. I've decided that maybe smaller chapters would be better and wouldn't give me as much pressure. This also means that it would be up to 5 more chapters before the fic is finished.

Anyway, this chapter is a bit of a breather, as it involves the Oasis group heading off to confront Telios and rescue Minette, as well as recruiting Aberdeen and Avril to their cause. There's a bit of fanservice with Carina at the end of the chapter as well, though.
