Chapter 03:
The Ditzy Daisy


After being informed about what the Pedalius background was, I ran in pursuit for Black Rose, the assumed culprit. It turns out that she was another survivor of the raids in years past. Black Rose had memories akin to my awakened past, all centering on Alicia Heart, the first female in my life before the disaster. It was likely, but I merely assumed that Black Rose was indeed the missing Alicia. A hint provided was the fact that the droids knew who I was, but what didn’t make sense was how they found my whereabouts, or even the fact that Dawn was my wife, who is still poisoned. Another thing struck me as puzzling. Apparently, one of the droids had an order to assassinate Black Rose, as well as myself for that matter. I can understand why Pedalius would be after me, but why Rose? If this organization is as powerful and cruel as Ikkaku claims to be, then all jokes aside, we’d be in deep trouble.

However, finding Black Rose wasn’t going to be simple, nor should I expect it to be with the agents of Pedalius in pursuit as well. But still, if Black Rose herself didn’t orchestrate the plot for me, then WHO exactly is at fault!? As I had that question in mind, another assassin flew by me, in the same matter that intruder did: time temporarily froze. However, the one who flew by me was in the form of a teenager, maybe younger than that. Then I noticed the symbol on her cloak. “Let me guess,” I started off, “you’re one of the Gardens of Eve, aren’t you!?” She giggled, like a naïve girl. “How perceptive. That’s nothing less of the great Strider, yessir!” I responded to this, regardless if it was a compliment or not. “Tell me!  What do you plan to do with Black Rose?” She pouted, and by that she is obviously jealous. “What do they see in her anyway? Strider, do you think I’m sexy?” I was… baffled. A little kid, without much to offer, asking me this ridiculous question. Why, I ask? Never mind that, I had to get back to why she was stalking Black Rose. “This is not the time for that!! Listen, will you tell me why, or should I force it out of you!?” She screamed, much to my dismay. “AAHHH! He plans to rape me!!” For a pervert with a childish lolicon fetish, that would be a reasonable option… NOT! Unfortunately, I have no such fetish, and I’m already married. I lost my patience with this ‘fast’ girl. “WILL YOU SHUT UP!?”

The Nice Guy routine was put to an end as I drew Asterisk from my sheath. “Now, I’ve lost my patience. Prepare yourself!!” The next few seconds, in her hands was… giant mallet? A MALLET!? I was at a loss for words entirely. But, as a fighter, I held the hilt to my blade firm. “Okay, you better be ready. But please, don’t try any funny stuff, ‘kay?” she said to me. Now, that was pissing me off. “That does it! Shadow Asterisk Rush!!” I divided myself into 2 shadows to attack from both sides.” Two for one? How lucky, I get two cuties!” she said. I don’t know if she meant to do so, but as she was prancing around like a ditzy girl, she swung her enormous mallet, striking both shadow forms and forcing me to be whole again. Unfortunately for her, I too, had an ace in the hole. To her dismay, Asterisk was floating above her as a whole sword. On my command, it shot a beam, immobilizing her. “I can’t use my trademark on someone like you, but here’s another new move for you.” I held my hand, as if preparing for the Chaos Fang, but fired it in a volley at the sky. Soon, it was a shower of energy beams, destroying everything around her. “That was my new attack, Chaos Strom.” I returned Asterisk to my sheath as she dropped her weapon, as in to surrender. “You’re strong. I give up, Strider.” “Who are you, anyway?” I asked. “Sorry. It’s Daisy. They call me Sapphire Daisy.” I turned away giving her a message as I walked away.

“If this Pedalius wants me dead, tell them to send everything they got. I’ll be waiting.”
Chapter 3 of CR. Enjoy, peace, whatever...
