YEAR - 784 ARThe wolves howled throughout the silent darkness. The crescent moon visible even though the clouds had gathered. Under the cloudy sky was a hooded figure. He held two shadowy daggers. The sound of his teeth grinding could be heard as he pointed hus daggers at the approaching enemies. Dozens of ninjas dressed like him circled around him. The man's breathing was orderly as he counted his enemies. He knew he couldn't afford to slip up here. Just then, the ninjas in the center moved to the sides allowing their leader to pass through. "I told you, you won't get anywhere, brother." "Keith," The man removed his hood revealing a pair of blue eyes matching those of his opponent. There was no doubt, these two were brothers. "We don't have to do this, let me go and you'll never hear from me again." Said the man. A chaotic aura swirls around Keith. "I'm afraid you can't talk yourself out of this bro-, no. Ace. From now on, you are an enemy of the House of shadows!" He excla

"Ahhhhhhhhh!!!" Reginald was panicking and sobbing while the walls kept closing in on him. "I know I was a petty thief, but I never thought I'd face an end like this". Meanwhile. Ace appeared at the end of the portal... "Huh, the portal didn't work!" It looks like the crypt would only allow for Regii to pass through. Ace clenched his fists at the thought of Reginald not coming out of the portal, Self guilt is a terrible feeling. "If I hadn't taken his damn hat, he would be here right now" "You've got that right, you bastard!" A familiar voice shifted the current atmosphere. "Regii!" Ace jumped on his feet excitedly at the sight of his teammate coming out of the portal. He quickly rushed towards his partner and gave

It was now four days after the battle between Ace and Vorus. News spread far and wide across Ernia about the Brave that defeated one of the strongest district commanders.       In an isolated area not far from Kondo, an army was being addressed by a man. He was tall and skinny, had silver hair, and was clad in Violet armor with a cape around his back. He was pacing about the filled with his hands positioned behind him. "Soldiers, join our armies to become heroes the same way the legends of old did" "They are born to rescue, to enter hell and conquer on behalf of the light!!" "Let the children born of the hero's heart be the champions of the weary, let them take their strength and lift the broken, for they are the ones who would lay down life and limb to do what

"We can actually win this!" Ace had his hands folded as he watched the General plopped in confusion. In front of him were the countless soldiers and Kira who got trapped by their own shadow. He dubbed this technique "Shadow Realm Prison." The inside of the shadow itself was a whole different dimension, that was why Rada Khan could not sense his army even after using seismic sense, an advanced ain technique in which the user could feel the presence of everything and everyone within the radius of their ain's aura. In this case, Rada Khan's Seismic Sense could reach well over one kilometer. "We don't have much time, Regi should wrap this up" Ace was feeling the backlash of the hundreds of soldiers trying to use their aura to escape. "If it goes on like this they'll escape in less than five minutes". 

In a dark alleyway on the streets of Cronoa, a man was standing amidst a stack of dead bodies. His eyes, blinded with rage as he seeth the sword that was strapped on his waist. He then threw away the newspaper that he was holding which depicts the image of Rada Khan and a crossed picture of Ace. As the paper sways gently in the sky, the man vanished into thin air with a single thing raging on his mind... 'Stupid brother, I will avenge you' "Achoo!" Ace and Vorus were currently on Dragonheart and on their way to find a healer that could heal Reginald. "Achoo!" Ace was rubbing his hands together as he ended up folding his arms. He was now wearing a white scarf on his neck with his usual attire. "Captain, are you sure you're alright" Vorus addressed his new c
