Paradoxon: Fix In Posterum
The fix 75

...***...

Nata drowned. The woman who became Nero's older sister could not swim, which is what made Nero have to jump in to help her.

His body started to appear limp, he closed both eyes slowly as his body further and further sank to the bottom of the lake.

SPLASH!!!

He could faintly hear the sound of someone plunging down from up there. His eyes were almost closed then caught the figure of Nero who was swimming to the bottom of the lake to help him.

"Hold on! I'll save you!" Nero. He kept moving both his hands and feet. It drifted deeper towards Nata who was getting closer to the bottom.

"A little more! Just a little more!" His inner being when his hand could almost grab Nata's hand. Just a little more and. It works! Nero can get it. He gripped Nata's wrist. But as soon as he was about to pull her towards the surface of the water, Nata suddenly pulled her body in towards the bottom.

"Arkkk!!" Nero almost chokes when Nata suddenly pulls him rough. He was so surprised. Nero looked at Nata who suddenly opened both of his eyes. He looked at Nero.

"Snat! Why is he acting so strange?" Its inner. Nero was wide-eyed, but there was no fear in him.

Nata stretched out his two hands, the woman suddenly choked him hard, making Nero unable to breathe.

"Akh—arrrkkk!" Nero coughed, opening his mouth which spontaneously made water rush into his mouth. Simultaneously he subconsciously inhaled the water which managed to make him lose as his consciousness.

"W-What's wrong with Nat? Why...he's like this?" His inner. Nero tried to rebel, trying to get Nata's giggles off his neck. Nata even tightened his strangulation making Nero really unable to breathe.

"Snat! What's wrong with you! Be aware!" Nero shook the woman's shoulder, trying to resuscitate her. But failed. He's getting out of breath. Nero began to relax, his eyes began to be unable to see the situation clearly. As soon as he started drooping down into the bottom, Nata let go of his giggling.

Nero's view is faint. He could not see Nata's whereabouts now.

"What happened to Nat?"

"Why did he do this to me?"

"Why did he suddenly change?"

"What's going on?"

Nero was deep, his body increasingly falling into the bottom of the lake.

"I don't want to die now."

"I want to live!"

"I want to live!"

"Whoever…"

"…Help me."

"I really can't breathe."

SPLASH!!!

Rei jumped into the water. He quickly moved both his hands and feet, trying to save Nero and make him aware.

"Nero, you have to hold on! You can't die here!" Rei continued to accelerate his movements, trying to help Nero who was falling deeper and deeper into the bottom.

"Who's... that?" Nero nodded, looking at Rei with an indistinct look. His sight was completely blurred.

"God! Nero! Wake up! It's me!" Rei grabbed both hands, he looked at Nero and shook his body violently, hoping that the man would come to his senses.

"I can't let it. I have to bring him upstairs," Rei gripped Nero's wrist tightly. He began to slowly pull his hand towards the surface of the water.

"Hold on! You should go home safe. Your friends are waiting, "the inner Rei who keeps moving both his hands and feet. Bringing Nero to the surface.

...*...

"This is my dream world. And I won't lose that easily!" Thought Azura who then focused her energy on melting the ice that froze her body.

"I won't let you just let go!" Louis looked at him sharply. The man could clearly hear Azura's inner voice there.

Azura turned her attention to the lake, focusing her ability on the water there.

"We'll see which one you'll choose. Save your master or fight me," he said, which spontaneously made Louis turn to look in the direction Azura looked.

From the direction the boat was looking at, Louis saw a water bubble popping out of the water. It made him anxious, especially when he read clearly the contents of Azura's mind. He's not calm.

"Now you just have to choose" he said.

"You.." Louis clenched his hand, he stared bitterly at Azura before him.

Meanwhile, down there. Rei, who was trying to help Nero swim to the surface, suddenly blocked the vines from the bottom of the lake which suddenly moved to tie a second time and slowly began to pull him towards the bottom of the lake.

"Damn! He really wanted to keep me and Nero trapped forever in his world" Rei said. He was dragged into the bottom of the lake with Nero who was unconscious.

The vines are pulling it more and more to the bottom. Tied his body slowly together with Nero. Rei began to run out of breath, he tried to rebel and tried to break free. But failed again.

His body was getting wrapped up tightly to the point that he was starting to run out of breath. "Wine! I can't breathe. My energy also began to weaken, I could not use my strength to get rid of all this water," Inner Rei.

He looked towards Nero beside him. "Nero. I'll get you out of here as soon as I can."

Rei felt more and more that his breathing was starting to thin. And along with that, slowly his consciousness began to disappear.

On a different side, Louis, who found Rei never coming back to the surface, began to feel anxious.

"Determine your choice," Azura smiled there. A smile that seemed annoying to Louis.

"Don't assume our business is done!" Louis jumped into the water. With the help of his hands and feet, he rushed towards the direction where Rei was.

"The right choice," Azura muttered softly there. He turned around when he felt someone was trying to call him from his consciousness. The man turned around and disappeared in his second step.

"Master!" Louis tries to communicate with Rei through his telepathy. His eyes continued to look around the base and look for the whereabouts of Rei who became his master.

"Geez, I can't find him anywhere," Louis kept trying to find Rei's whereabouts. The man did not answer when he tried to communicate through his telepathy. It certainly makes Louis more anxious because Rei can not be found wherever his existence.

Louis did not give up and continued to search, until finally he could find Rei rolled between the vines there. The plant wrapped around it until it reached the neck. Louis came to him, to help.

"Holden sir. I'll save you."
