The tales of Ligma, Waifu, Nia.

Chapter 6: Chapter 6 (New Hope)



As the sun rises once again, roars of the Wyvern atop the tower they're in could be heard. 

Ligma wakes up with a terrible headache. Her head covered in some of her own blood. 

Ligma: "What the hell happened." she said getting herself on her feet. 

Nia: "You're finally awake Waifu was worried sick." She said sitting behind Ligma on a wooden chair.

Nia: "Waifu is still asleep, I don't recommend waking her."

Ligma: "oh... I remember now that mimic knocked me out."

Nia: "Yea, speaking of the mimic, I'm hurt, and so do you have any more mana?" she said crossing her legs.

Ligma: "Yea but probably only enough for about 2 more heals." she said walking over to Nia.

Nia: "Well what are you waiting on heal me and yourself already." she said taping her foot.

Ligma: "Right... Heal." 

A bright yellow light burst from Ligma and it fully heals them both.

The massive burse that was present along Nia's torso had disappeared and the wound on Ligma's head had healed completely. 

Nia: "I can confidently say that I hate mimics." she said standing up.

Ligma: "Where is Waifu?" she said looking around for her.

Nia: "Oh she's sleeping by the mimic." she said pointing to the mimic's corps.

Ligma: "W- Why?

Nia: "I don't know, I just don't question anything the does anymore."

Ligma walks over to the mimic and finds Waifu sleeping next to its left arm.

Ligma then grabs her shoulders.

Ligma: "WAKE UP!" she says shaking her violently. 

Waifu: "WAAAAAAA! Ligma YOU'RE OK!" she said jumping up and accidently headbutting Ligma. 

Ligma: "Ow! Carful." she said falling back onto the ground.

Waifu then hugs Ligma unexpectedly. 

Waifu: "You idiot, next time don't act on your own!" 

Ligma: "Yea, sorry about that." she said scratching her head.

Waifu lets go of Ligma stands up and offers her a hand to help her get up.

Ligma takes her hand and rises to her feet. 

Nia: "Are you guys done yet." she says standing a couple of feet from them.

Waifu: "Don't be so mean Nia, I'm sure you were worried too." she says crossing her arms and looking away from her.

Nia: "Hmph." she said crossing her arms.

Ligma: "Shes got a point we should get going." 

Nia: "In that case we should head up the latter now." she said pointing at the latter going up.

So, the trio head up the latter and upon reaching the top they are on the other side of the wooden floor of the tower. 

Directly ahead of the latter was a closed caged door. 

Nia walks forward and tries to open the door; the door opens with no resistance. 

On the other side was another section of the wall that connects to the inside of another tower. 

Nia: "Another tower so quickly and no hollows in sight must be my lucky day." she says smirking. 

As soon as Nia says this a fully armored Hollowed Knight walks from the tower straight ahead. 

The knight sported a long sword and a huge medium shield.

Nia: "You have got to be kidding me, and this is why we waited for Ligma to wake up." she said preparing a fire ball. 

Nia: "Waifu stay back, your magic isn't back yet. Ligma stay with me." she says as she throws her Fire ball. 

The fire ball flies through the air striking the knight in the chest, it flinches at the hit and turns to Nia.

Nia: "Let's go!" she says as she sprints to the knight with Ligma at he left side.

The knight walks towards Ligma and Nia meeting them halfway.

They aren't sure who the knight is looking at, its gaze obscured by its helmet.

Ligam: "Watch its sword!"

Nia looks to her right and sees the knight raise its sword above its head. 

Nia raises her axe and blocks with the handle, the sword comes down hard on the axe cleaving halfway through the handle.

Nia: "Shit, I underestimated how sharp its sword was." she said as she holds the knights attack with her axe.

Ligma see this and brings her mace down on the knight's forearm.

The impact of hit cracks the armor of the hollow and breaks its arm.

With its grip weekend Nia pulls her axe away from the sword and takes a swing for the knights damaged right arm. 

Right as she swung her axe the knight pulled its shield back and pushed it forward at Nia.

The shield crashes into her meeting no resistance much like an unstoppable force meeting a movable object.

The impact breaks her right wrist and sends her flying onto her back.

While the knight does this it doesn't notice a presence behind it.

Suddenly a dagger is plunged into the knights back.

Behind the knight was Waifu holding the dagger looking into the knight's eyes with a hateful expression. 

Waifu: "No one hurts my friends... so can you die now?" she says pushing the dagger deeper into the knights back.

The knight turns its body to the left trying to turn to Waifu as it prepares to back hand her with its shield.

Nia: "Ligma kill it!" she said standing up holding her wrist. 

Ligma then holds her mace with both hands and without any technique she swings her mace at the knight's head with all her strength.

On impact the knight's neck bends back. To put it into perspective he could now see behind him without turning around.

After this Waifu pulls her dagger out of the knight and pushes it to the ground.

Waifu: "Thank you!" she says smiling and waving at the knight.

Ligma: "Scary."

Nia: "Ummm some healing please." she says holding her wrist which is now limp.

So Ligma heals Nia using the last of her mana.

Ligma: "Welp I'm all out." she says holding out her talisman. 

Nia: "That fire ball was the last of mine as well... and unfortunately my axe is on its last life." she says holding her axe. 

Waifu: "Oh I found an axe." she said pulling out a battle axe form... thin air?

Nia: "Where did you have that... don't answer that question. Where did you find that?" 

Waifu: "Oh yea... well when everyone was asleep, I looked in the mimic because I thought I saw something shiny when a was nearly eaten." she said handing the battle axe to Nia.

Nia: "... gross." she said accepting the axe.

Nia noticed something about the axe there was a dark aura surrounding the axe.

Nia: "I think I'm going to like this axe." she said with a twisted grin on her face.

Waifu: "Glad I can help!" she said saluting Nia. 

Ligma: "So we should keep moving, I don't exactly trust the wyvern on the tower behind us." she said walking to the next tower. 

Nia: "Right... stupid dragon."

The tiro head into the tower.

Upon entering they find themselves on a wooden floor that has a staircase leading to a lower floor and to the right was a doorway that led outside the tower to another staircase.

Nia: "Right is always right!" she says walking right.

Ligma: "last time you said that Waifu almost died, and you don't even follow that rule every time." she said following her.

Nia: "Don't question me." she said looking back.

So, the trio walked to the doorway and found a staircase that led up to the top of the tower. 

Upon reaching the top she saw the beautiful light of a bonfire illuminating the area.

Waifu: "A bonfire!" she said jumping to the fire.

Ligma sees this and grabs Waifu by her cloths.

Ligma: "Careful this may be a good thing but it's still a fire you could get hurt." she said letting her go.

Nia: "See I told you right is always right." she said smirking while sitting at the bonfire.

So, the trio rest at the bonfire letting their worries drift away. 

The dark sun looms over the trio accompanied by a cool wind.
