My Beginning After the End Downfall

A Shield

An ice sword appeared below the Vritra, heading straight for his chest, but he simply caught it with his bare hand, then snapped it. "Don't make us ask again, surrender or die." Varay shouted as the five of us stepped forward, getting closer to him.

"Poof." Boo appeared on my other side, and the look of anger was clear on his face.

The Vritra turned to us, looking at Boo and me. "Ellie, it's good to meet you." He spoke, then stepped my way, causing Boo to step toward him. "I don't want to hurt your bond, so I think it's best if I introduce myself."

"It doesn't matter who you are." I told him, getting ready to conjure a beam of light, not really thinking about the damage it would do inside of the bunker, but that's when his red eyes stared into my soul and smirked.

"My name is Damon Leywin."

The five of us froze from his words, no one moved, Boo stayed still as well, and the Vritra before us shrugged, like it didn't matter. "W-what?" I asked him, not knowing if any of the other Lances were going to say something. "That's impossible, you can't be a Leywin, I don't even know you."

"Yet, I have memories of who you are, Ellie." The Vritra told me. "And Lance Aya, Lance Bairon, Lance Varay, Princess Tessia, and Boo." He paused for a second, then went on. "I shouldn't say they are my memories, or even if they are memories, but I know who you all are." He was speaking so calmly, but his aura, and his voice shook me, and I can tell it shook the other Lances still. "I am Damon Leywin."

"I-I don't understand." Varay said, releasing her battle stance as she studied the Vritra. "What do you mean you are Damon Leywin, I've never seen you before, and you seem to know who we all are pretty well."

"That would be because I was created by Virion Leywin, my father." My eyes widened. "I was formed with different types of blood to give me strength, I am an artificial Asura that he made to help protect all of you." Virion created this person. "I mean you all no harm, but after everything that has gone down, it appears that I have a mission to protect all of you to the best of my ability."

"Is there a way to prove you are telling the truth?" I asked him, and the Vritra with red eyes shook his head as he looked at me. "Because what you are saying is that I am you Aunt."

"Yes, technically you are." He told me as he looked around at the ice barrier above him, then back to us. "Listen, like I said, I mean you all no harm, take that how you like. I am here to help you all, not hurt you, so if you don't mind, please relax."

"Sorry, our history with Vritras isn't the greatest." Aya told the man, and he nodded his head, but the cocky attitude was still there, he seemed to be enjoying this to some extent. "Why have you come here all of a sudden then? Does that mean Virion is actually dead?"

"No." Damon told us. "We don't know what happened to him yet, or when he'll return, or if he'll return. That's why I am here, I am going to be the shield for the bunker, delaying the inventible, because if an Asura attacks, it'll be a massacre in here."

Someone banged on the ice barrier, and Varay released the spell, coming into the circle was Commander Virion and Cynthia Goodsky, but they froze instantly when they saw Damon, their eyes widening in fear.

"W-who?" He asked looking from Damon to Bairon. "What is going on?"

"He says that Virion created him, and that he is on our side." Bairon told him. "He just appeared out of nowhere, so I don't know how to handle this, sir." No one was in a battle stance anymore as they trusted this boy, I still didn't know what to expect, he didn't seem like he was going to attack us, but his aura was so dark, even darker than Seris's when she released it.
