Hello everyone! I do not own Elsword, or the characters of said game. I do, however, ship Elsword and Eve to no end. Ara and Chung...maybe, I haven't decided.
I figured I would start this, since yesterday was my graduation from a career technical center I took my last two years of high school at. And Friday is my big one from my high school!
Huge thanks to my boyfriend, who has been supporting me all along the way. And also since I wouldn't have actually gotten into Elsword without him!
We roleplay the Elsword and Eve pairing together, so you might see more of them from me around here.
Also! I have been noticing that for some reason, Fanfiction has been bunching up my paragraphs! If you notice this, I am sorry, but I do not know how to fix it!
So let's get down to it! Read, Review, and Enjoy!
Eve: Code Electra - Code Battle Seraph
Elsword: Rune Slayer
Rena: Wind Sneaker
Raven: Blade Master
Aisha: Dimensional Witch
Chung: Deadly Chaser
Ara: Sakra Devanam
Relearning the Seraph

Chapter 1: Heartbroken Changes
"Elsword, you need to go see Eve," Raven sighed.
"I can't," Elsword muttered, "I'll probably accidentally beg her not to do this and cause her to keep a faulty code."
Raven crossed his arms, leaning on the doorway of Elsword's bedroom door. His golden eyes glared at the redhead that was grouchily staring out the window of the little forest-surrounded house that the El Gang was living in. The El Gang comprised of a special party working to find and protect the El, keeping most of Elrios clean and safe along the way. Everyone had their own pasts and their own abilities and their own reasons for being here. But some people had a romance. Such was the case of Elsword and Eve. However, it did not look like this romance was going to survive much longer, though not by any willing cause of either participant.
Rather, it was looking like it would end by a dire need for a code change in Eve...
"Elsword, even if you don't go to her, she'll come to you. You can't tell me you'll ignore her then."
"Why...why can't there be another way?" Elsword's red eyes didn't look away from the window he was staring out of.
"I don't know. Nasods just aren't supposed to feel. I guess Eve has been learning that the hard way."
"You're not helping, Raven."
"Sorry, I didn't come with the intent to help. I came to get you to go see your girlfriend in the state you know her. You know, before she goes and loses her emotions and memories. At least she's not dying, Elsword."
"Really not helping now."
"Elsword, get your stupid butt out there, and go see Eve!"
"Aisha, if he's not listening to me, your yelling isn't going to help."
"Go away, Aisha."
"How rude, the both of you!"
The red haired swordsman was in a poor mood, mainly out of frustration and depression. Knowing that there was no way to help Eve made him sick. She had to go and change into an emotionless robot. She wouldn't know anything about any of them, she wouldn't remember any of the trials they had all gone through, none of it. It wasn't fair. And now The Black Crow and a Dimensional Witch that Elsword could swear had a few screws loose, were trying to go get him to see Eve one more time. Go see Code: Electra, the code that he had confessed his love to, before she became a code that wouldn't remember him.
He knew they were right, that he needed to go see her. Even then though, he just didn't know if he could really face her; especially not without crying and pleading to find another way. He questioned how strong he really was if he couldn't handle something like this, but wasn't it logical? After all, he loved her. He really, really loved her...
"Elsword..." A voice finally called, pleadingly at the door.
Footsteps signaled that Raven and Aisha had just withdrawn from the door. Elsword sighed painfully now, lifting his head off of the window glass. It was time to face her...one last time before losing her. Eve was just coming in, closing the door softly behind her as her worn gold eyes looked at him. He sighed, admiring how beautiful she was, with the red and white of her short dress and tall boots. Her long hair and that cute little braid on the side, a little flower crown on her head. Tears came to his eyes as he realized this was the last time he would see her look like this.
"Eve..." He murmured.
"Elsword...if there was another way, you know I'd take it..."
"I know, Eve. I know. But if this is better for you, then I guess you should do it."
"I wrote my new code a letter. A little...reminder...I wrote it into her incoming data. So she'll...she'll know about you...about everyone. Hopefully...hopefully I can still be everyone's friend. Even if I won't be the one everyone once knew..."
"I love you Eve. I always will. No matter what you remember, forget, or how different you become. I don't like that you have to do this, but I'm glad it's going to be better for you..."
She nodded, walking to him, where she finally hugged him tightly, "Oh Elsword...I'll miss you..."
"I'll still be here. I'll be here for your new code...Code: Battle Seraph, isn't it?"
"Yes...that is her. But please Elsword, she is still me. She is still Eve...and...I still love you, no matter what."
"Same from me, Eve. I'll be there, and I'll love you. No matter what."
"Hey, Elsword...?"
"Yeah?"
"I'll see you soon. I better go do this."
"Okay. Wait...!"
He reached into his pocket and then reached out to her, waiting for her hand. When she finally did, he dropped a small necklace into her hand.
"Elesis gave me that, back before she left on her quest. I want you to wear it, okay? I never could, it was too girly," He laughed softly, "-just kidding. It's actually because she told me to give it to someone special to me, when the time was right."
She giggled shyly, blushing heavily as she wiped her eyes, before holding it back out to him. It was a necklace with dark pink gemstones and a red, metal phoenix pendant. The phoenix's eyes were also dark pink gemstones, the two separate colors working well together in the oddest way against the black colored chain.
"I like it. Will you put it on me...? For yourself...and Elesis...?" She smiled at him.
"I'd be honored," He replied, gently taking the heirloom, and putting it around Eve's neck, "Just...even when you forget...take care of it."
"I...I will..." Eve's voice trembled with tears.
As Elsword finished, he gave her one more hug, as well as a final kiss. The Phoenix hung over her chest as Eve clung to his shirt, drawing the kiss out for as long as she could, aided in the effort by Elsword. But they couldn't hold it forever. With one final goodbye, Eve walked from his room, and Elsword finally let himself cry alone, in peace.
Alone in her room, Eve held the phoenix as she began to change her code either. Deactivating her emotion circuits, cutting out her memories, breaking away from the near-human she was. Forcing the code to accept that note she had left for the seraph, along with an explicit remark to keep the phoenix necklace. The Dark El, the moonstone, terminating all emotional functions, all of it...her code transforming her and changing.
"Please...be my friends again...even if I'm not the one you knew..."
And with this, Code: Electra had changed. Everything changed her hair even longer now and different, the outfit fully changed. The flower crown of the Electra code had been left and Code: Battle Seraph was looking through her booting data. She found Eve's note immediately and went to read the contents. It piqued the little nasod's interest, but she took to understanding it. She had to find some boy named Elsword. She had to watch over this necklace she was wearing. She had to be nice to him. Apparently she cared about and loved him.
Whatever any of that meant, since she didn't know.
She felt a small pain in her chest as she read this, and then sighed. Why was that...? Why…?
No matter. She needed to read, so she ignored the pain.
'Code: Battle Seraph,
This is your former evolution. I need you to remember some things, because I had to change a lot to become you. You need to find Elsword. He's the red haired man with a sword. He can be an idiot sometimes, but he's someone I, therefore you, care about a lot. I know you don't know a lot about that. But just stay beside him. And keep that phoenix necklace. He gave it to...well, us. Be kind to him, this change is hard on him. He's really important, and whether you remember the emotion or not, you do love him. He's a wonderful person, a close ally. Be good to him. Watch out for him, okay? Give him the flower crown too. He'll be glad to have it.
Be good to him, he loves Eve dearly, no matter my form. And our friends.
-Code: Electra'
Eve looked at the crown in her hands, then nodded, and exited the room. She came face to face with a tall black haired girl, just a little bit taller than her. Long black hair poured down the strange, brown eyed spearswoman's back.
"Hello there...oh my goodness, Eve!"
"Yes. Why do you yell?"
"I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...!" she began flailing a bit.
Eve brushed past her, cold shouldering her for now, "No matter. It is fine."
Her dress was long, sharp, different, and much colder than that of the Electra code. With a transformed Moby and Reby following her, Eve looked like a cold, calculating queen at the moment. That was probably what she was meant to look like this whole time. The dress was skinny with many sharp areas, colored with black and while, plus the small stripes of red in some areas, and the signature blue jeweling in spots; complete with small frills on the edges.
"O-Okay," Ara stammered, watching as the changed Eve began to move down the hallway.
As she traveled, she finally saw a redhead leave a room, wet streaks along his cheeks. He matched the description...
"Excuse me," She called a bit, "-are you Elsword?"
