Chronincles of the bloodlusty part 14

Chronincles of the bloodlusty couple part 14: Xaghtaersis and Xianghua's journey to the eagles nest.

Stignatz gave Xianghua and Xaghtaersis their papers. They walked inside the bank
Guard: ''''Your papers please''''
Stignatz: ''Here are my papers. We have special permission to have weapons in the bank'''
Guard: ''Everything is fine. Please proceed
Xianghua and Xaghtaersis gave the guard their papers
Xianghua to Xaghtaersis in thoughts: ''We didn't have these ID papers back then''
Xaghtaersis to Xianghua in thoughts :'' You will get used to them. These papers are still faitly oldschool. Soon we will be using eye scans and plastic cards.''''
Xianghua to Xaghtaersis: '' Eye scans and plastic cards? What? What are those?''
Xaghtaersis to Xianghua: An eye scan is pretty much an ID check using a device that checks your unique eye patterns to identify you and that plastic card thing is pretty much a hard thing that holds your ID information stored on a little hard thing''''
Guard: ''Age seems off but otherwise it'''s fine.
The couple: ''' Good''''
Stignatz,Xianghua and Xaghtaersis sat down. The bank was fairly large. It was oblvious that a lot of rich people visited the bank daily. The design was in a Jugendstiel style.
Xianghua:''Stignatz,when will we be able to pick our swords?''''
Stignatz: ''''We can pick them up the day after the party''
Xaghtaersis: ''Sounds good'''
A number was recalled. The couple and stignatz moved to a small desk.
Banker:'' So I can conclude that you need a large safe?''''
Stignatz,Xianghua,Xaghtaersis:''Yes''''
The banker stood up
Banker:''Follow me''''
Two guards appeared
They walked a bit until they reached a gigantic gate. More guards in black uniforms where standing everywhere. All guards where armed with typical German rifles. Xianghua stayed close to Xaghtaersis.
Another banker appeared. He gave the banker who had led Xianghua,Stignatz and Xaghtaersis a key. The gate had 3 keyholes. The banker who had led Xaghtaersis,Xianghua and Stignatz to the gate put 2 keys in two keyholes. A banker in an expensive looking suit appeared a moment later.
Banker in expensive suit to the banker who had led Xianghua Stignatz and Xaghtaersis: '' I take over now''
Banker in expensive suit:'''' Good morning. I am Hiβt. I am the owner of this bank.''''
Xaghtaersis and Stignatz: ''''good morning''''
Xaghtaersis: ''Hisst,I am surprised that you need to personally open the gate of the safe.''
Hisst:Well sir,it is purely to ensure absolute protection for our clients goods. It is harder for thiefs to get into the locker when they really need to find all keys.''''
Stignatz: This safe will even survive a heavy bombing and an eathquake combined,from what I have heard.''''
Hisst: That''s correct, It was specially designed by Europe's finest experts. I will open the safe now.
Xianghua: '''I wonder what's inside''''
Hisst put the third key in its keyhole and turned all three keys. He then turned a large wheel.
The gate opened.  Hisst: ''follow me''''
Stignatz,Xaghtaersis and Xianghua followed Hisst.
Xianghua looked around. She saw various things: paintings,diamonds,gold,books and also a closet with the letters: highly sensitive information.
Xianghua said to Xaghtaersis in thoughts: Any way to get our hands on all this?''
Xaghtaersis to Xianghua in thoughts '''I get you something better in time Xianghua,I promise. My darling,you deserve more than what we see here.''''
Xianghua smiled.
Hisst checked a few numbers on a paper
Hisst: Section 435G: Totendanzer family.
Stignatz: Yep but the items we will store here aren't from any of my family members though. But keeping them safe is important because these items have a high value.
Hisst: Hand over the items.
Xaghtaersis gave the man his sword.
Hisst: ''An  arabian blade. It has a nice pattern on it and a few gemstones in the hold.''
Hisst carefully touched the edge.
Hisst ''''Auch,this thing is still sharp. How old is it?''''
Xaghtaersis: Probably between 550 and 350 years. I found it in a castle's weapon storage room.
Hisst: ''''It looks nice for such an old sword. Well preserved''
Xianghua: ''''Xaghtaersis takes good care of his blade.''''
Hisst: This blade is still in use? Does it has a name''''
Xaghtaersis: Yes. It doesn't have a name so I call it Arabian no name.
Xaghtaersis said to Xianghua: Your turn Xianghua.
Hisst carefully put Xaghtaersis blade next to a halberd.
Xianghua gave Hisst her blade.
Hisst: So both of you have a sword. Let's see what we got here.
Hisst inspected the sword.
Hisst: This one is in the same condition as the Arabian blade but this one is Chinese.
Xianghua ''An man gave it to me. After I..................
Xianghua turned around and Xaghtaersis hugged her.
Xaghtaersis: Hisst,Stignatz can I and Xianghua have a moment alone?
Hisst: Fine,seems like it is important. You two seem trustworthy.
Xianghua and Xaghtaersis walked away to a quiet place in the safe.
Xaghtaersis: Xianghua,my darling are you alright?''''
Xianghua:''I........released that I......only have you left. Please do not leave me alone like they did........please. I have no one except you. Stay with me,Xaghtaersis.
Tears rolled down Xiangua's cheeks.
Xaghaersis held Xianghua a bit closer to him.
Xaghtaersis: ''''I will never leave you. I promise''
Xianghua held Xaghtaersis tightly.
Xaghtaersis: ''What happened before we met? ''
Xianghua:'' Many things. I don't know where to start.
Xaghtaersis''''Start at the beginning''
Xianghua: ''''Okay'''
Xianghua: '''' I had defeated a monster called Inferno and thought I had destroyed soul edge.''
Xaghtaersis:''And what happened afterwards?''''
Xianghua:''''A mysterious man have me an unnamed jian for my accomplisment. He is probably dead now....like everyone else except you. I returned to my home country. The emperor wasn't pleased because I didn't find soul edge and I lost my rank.
Xaghtaersis: '' I should have been there. To kick that emperor's ass. Be mean to my sweetheart and I kick your ass.
Xianghua smiled again.
Xianghua: '''Hahaha,Xaghtaersis. Ehm,where was I?
Xaghtaersis: ''Evil soul edge thing.'''
Xianghua: ''''Oh yes. Well the emperor summoned me to investigate the ruins of a destroyed castle.
I then found out that there was a rumor that there might have been pieces of soul edge around. I went on a journey alone.  I was near that kingdom that we would later take control of because I heard that something was going on. I then met you.
Xaghtaersis: Pieces of that soul edge thing? Well its 1939 now. 1591,the year in which we met is a loooong time ago now.
Xianghua: Yeah,but I still have to complete the task.....destroy soul edge,
Xaghtaersis: You mean WE. Your task is my task.''
Xianghua: ''True,I am not alone. But things are so complicated now......350 years have past'''
Xaghtaersis: Nah,it isn't complicated.   Besides this pieces  of soul edge  thing was still a rumor. Honestly,if this asshole thing exists and  is still causing trouble then we will get rid of it once and for all.
Xianghua: ''''We will.'''
Xaghtaersis: Soo are you feeling better now?''''
Xianghua: ''''Yes,Xaghtaersis. I feel much more secure.''
Xaghtaersis kissed Xianghua.
The two stood up and went back.
Stignatz: We have been waiting for a while....where have you two been?''''
Xaghtaersis: ''''Important stuff.
Stignatz:'''' I hope it's fine now.''''
Xianghua:'''' It is.''''
Stignatz: Well,Hisst stored your swords safely.
Xianghua & Xaghtaersis: Good.
Hisst:''''That did take a while,let's go back now.''''
Everyone left the safe.
Hisst and two other bankers closed the gate.
Hisst:''Have pleasent day.
Stignatz: Yeah,same.
Stignatz,Xianghua and Xaghtaersis walked to the spot where Stignatz had parked his car.
Stignatz: ''''Let's go back and prepare for tonight.''''
Xianghua and Xaghtaersis:'''' anything we need?''''
Stignatz,Xaghtaersis and Xianghua stepped inside.
Stignatz: Not really,other then  your ID.
Xianghua: who is hosting the party?
Stignatz: ''''The fuhrer himself. The party starts at 16:00. It's 9:30 now''''
They went back to Stignatz's house.
Stignatz: ''''wait in the car.''''
Stignatz left the car.
Xaghtaersis: I wonder what this fuhrer person is up to.
Xianghua: Me too.
Stignatz appeared with his wife a few moments later.  
They said goodbye to their kids and entered the car.
Xianghua: Elisa,who is caring for the kids now?
Elisa:'''' Oh,we have a nanny for that.''''
Xianghua: Sounds handy.
Stignatz laughed.
Stignatz: ''''Certainly''''
Xaghtaersis: where are we going?
Stignatz: ''''To some place called the eagles nest''''
Xianghua: How long will it take?
Stignatz: 6 hours,we will drive to the Alphs
Xaghtaersis: That's a while''
Xianghua: ''''Still quicker than walking.
Everyone laughed
Elisa: ''''A lot quicker.''''
Stignatz: Yeah it would take days to get there by foot.
The landscape was just flat. Nothing to see.
Xaghtaersis and Xianghua found themselves in a position of absolute boredom.
Xianghua: Xaghtaersis,I have nothing to doooo. I am boooooooored.''
Xaghtaersis: ''''Me too. I have no nintendo 9DS Pii. ''''
Stignatz: ''''Do what my wife does: take a nap.''''
Xaghtaersis:'' Could be an option.''
Xianghua: ''Meh,I don't feel like taking a nap. By the way what us a nintendo 9DS Pii?''
Stignatz: ''Yeah,Xaghtaersis,tell me more. My kids might like it.''
Xaghtaersis:'' Ehm......its a device that let's you play games. ''
Xianghua: '''' Sounds fun''''
Stignatz: ''Plays games? Like what? Chess?''
Xaghtaersis: ''Yeah,and more. Like a game in which you play as a plumber that needs to rescue a princess. And you need to get past various obstacles like a fire breating plants,turtles that throw hammers to resque her.''
Stignatz: ''Oooh our children would love such a wacky game. Where can you get such a device,Xaghtaersis?''
Xaghtaersis: '''Ehm..........I haven't seen one yet...''
Stignatz: ''bummer.''
Xianghua: Xaghtaersis,get one so that we can play!''
Xaghtaersis'':I will get my hands on one so that we can play, Xianghua.''
Stignatz: ''Get one for my kids too.''
Xaghtaersis hesistated: ''Ehm......okay,when I see one. I first need to find them though.''
Stignatz:;; Sounds as if you need to find something legendary  like the holy grail or Atlantis,Xaghtaersis?''''
Xaghtaersis: ''It does feel like it.''''
Xaghtaersis rolled his eyes.
Xianghua smirked:'' What''s up my darling Xaghtaersis? You don't know where to find Atlantis and the nintendo 9DS Pii?''
Xaghtaersis:'' I do know........I just well eeeeeuuuuh.....''
Xianghua: Yes?''''
Xaghtaersis: ''never mind''
Stignatz: ;;Anyways Xaghtaersis,I wish you good luck finding Atlantis and that legandary device of yours!''
Xaghtaersis:''....Ehm thanks.''
Xianghua: ''I shall join you on your search,Xaghtaersis!''
Stignatz jokingly said: ''''In the headlines soon: Xaghtaersis and his wife Xianghua find Atlantis and a legendary devices that cures boredom called the nintendo 9DS Pii!''''
Xianghua: ''''yaaaaaaay!''
Xianghua tacke hugged Xaghtaersis
Stignatz laughed.
The landscape had become more elevated. They drove hills up and down.
Xianghua:'' Elisa sure sleeps deep.''''
Stignatz:''''Yeah my wife can sleep through a bomb blast. I don't know how she does it.''''
Xaghtaersis: ''Finally some stuff to see.''
Xianghua: Trees......lots of trees.
Stignatz: ''Yeah. Good firewood. About 2 hours left till we get there.''
Xaghtaersis:''Awesome''
Xianghua: ''Wohoo''
