"Aegis!" "Ace!" "Aegis!" "And with that, ladies and gentlemen, the leader of the Aegis clan advanced to the quarter-finals alongside Kira and Zod!"Ace looked over at his flattened opponent. "Tck, I wanted to fight Tommaso this round... Well, let's see how he'll far." He pockets his hands and leaps through the sky before landing beside Vorus and taking a sit. "Haha. As expected of the captain. You crushed your opponent without holding back." "Thanks, Vo.""Without wasting any more time, let the next match of the day begin... It's,m Rhea vs Metal!" "Metal?" Rhea's opponent was a man donning the armor of a knight.

The world you know is but a tale of the old...A Millenium ago, The Human population was on the brink of total annihilation.Creatures from various mythologies emerged from the shadows and wreaked havoc across all lands. These creatures were soon to known as the Akashic Spawns.The Akashic Spawns emerged from portals around the world.Humanity was at its lowest. With over half of the world's population eliminated at that time, all hope was lost, until items emerged from different corners of the globe.These items were relics belonging to powerful beings from different mythologies and folktales. They bonded with the humans granting them the power to fend for themselves...Centuries later and the threat of the Akashic Spawns was erased. New civilisations were structured to replace the old The remaining Akashic Spawns were either hunted for their unique body parts or tamed as Familiars.Konami Kodo, an assassin-turned historian stumbles upon a Relic with the power to absorb anything.Cer
"I'm back!"Ryker finds himself back inside the Black Stallion."Then again, that thing did say that I never left." He looked around the room he was in.It was different from the room he was kept earlier when Jackal saved him.Ryker jolts up from the bed and makes his way to the hallways in search for the captain of the cruiser."Where is that sneaky bastard?"Ryker had his back against a door as it opened up and he fell through."Oh good," Jackal was standing atop him with his hands resting on his waist. Besides him was Ming."I was just about to come to get you."Ryker winced in pain as he lifts himself. "Where are we?" He looked past the two and scans the room in awe."Oh, this? Hehe, that was why I wanted to come get you" Jackal explained wearing his usual grin.Ryker found himself in a gymnasium with a fighting ring in the middle.Jackal tugged the hand of the white-haired teen and dragged him into the ring."We're going to train!" He declared much to Ryker's surprise."Eh?""I m
"Tck," Ryker clicked his teeth. He was latched onto an asteroid with Peck beside him. "This sniper is starting to get on my nerves."They were at the mercy of the continuous firing from the unknown sniper. "Alright! Lesson time!" Peck grabbed Ryker's collar much to the latter's dismay. "Hey, let me go!" Ryker snapped. "What is the one thing a sniper hates the most, and what is the major weakness to a sniper?" Peck asked as he slaps a shot that aimed at them. "Eh?" Ryker bares his teeth at the large man. "Are you seriously having a quiz session, now of all time!?""Oh, me, pick me!" Kinkaid raises his hand from an asteroid behind them. "Purple one!" Peck pointed at Kinkaid.Ryker facepalmed. 'We're sitting ducks in space under the mercy of a dangerous sniper and these idiots are making light of the matter.'"A sniper's biggest weakness is a close ranged encounter!" Kinkaid answered. "Correct purple one!" Peck gave Kinkaid a thumbs up. He then turns to Ryker. "You should be more l
"And that is everything I know, my mistress."Mysty was kneeling in front of the Black Stallion crew."Good servant." Zera patted her head.The A-grade hunter had become her slave and lost all her free will. Her irises were devoid of life, she was like a mindless zombie."That was easy," Ryker stated."Hmm..." Jackal rubbed his chin. "Did you get all that, Ming?" He turned to the android.After Zera warped the hunter's mind. She commanded her to tell them all the information she had about the BSA.Mysty rambled for nearly an hour and thus, it proved difficult for them to recall everything she said."Good thing Ming has an inbuilt recorder." Said Ryker.He crept closer to the mindless Mysty and squatted to her level."How does it feel to be the pawn now, witch?" He said with a satisfied smug on his face."Ehem." Zera stretched her hand out to Jackal. "I've done my role. Now, pay up.""Of course, the payment." Jackal glanced over at Ming and nods his head."Ming brought over a big sack
The location was the ark of the Aegis clan, the Dragonheart. Ernie was currently humming as he worked on the engine of the ark. "There," He dusts his hands. "With the new narly tweaks I placed, You peeps don't have to worry about this beauty breaking anytime soon." He gave Conroy a thumbs up. "That's great Bro Ernie!" "And with that, I'm done fixing the ark, it's good to go and so are we!" "About that... Where do go from here?"It has been 2 days since Ace and Reginald accompanied Kaz to see the elders. Vorus had awakened a day ago and the ark's repairs were completed. Ernie had finished the repairs ahead of time and even went an extra step to add a couple of upgrades. For starters, the Dragonheart lacked any cannons for battles against other Arks. Although these battles rarely occur in the Western Continent, Ernie warned the crew that the Eastern Continent is a place more brutal than where they came from. "That's where you met Sirs Kaz and Ace." Says Conroy as they arrived at
"Rex is up against your brother," Vorus said to Ace. The Aegis was seated at the bleachers to spectate the final match of the day. Zod had taken Kira to the medical sections to get her wounds treated as they'd be having guests later in the day. "Do you think Sir Zod would want to watch this match?" Conroy asks."Knowing him, he'll be looking after Kira." "By the way doesn't she remind you of someone with the same name?" Kaz's words made the Aegises ponder for a while."Hmm..." "That's it!" Maggie snapped her fingers. "Rada Khan's right hand, that woman Kira." The Aegises except for Lela gasped. "That's right," Ace said. "They even share a striking resemblance, except this Kira has long hair." "Are you forgetting that this Kira's a loose screw?" Kaz intervenes."Yeah, she's not well up there," Conroy adds."The other one is usually calm and collected. I don't know what she's up to or where she is." Said Vorus."Didn't Rohan order the capture of all the soldiers that survived t
LOCATION: BOUNTY HUNTERS ASSOCIATION, MISTY TRAIL GALAXY HQ."Congratulations on your promotion, Commander Sirius."The man identified as Sirius stood seven feet tall. He saluted to the Flag master who had his hands around his back.They were in the office of the Flagmaster."For the honour of the BSA, I will uphold my duties with the utmost diligence, Sir!""Yeah yeah," August lit up a cigarette."Onto more pressing matters." He tossed the new commander an odd device."The last commander, and your former superior, Kane was a loudmouth who failed to gather a good team. I hope you won't disappoint me as he did."Sirius gulped. He was well aware of what had happened to the former commander. He never liked Kane and always viewed him as a goal. Although that was the case, he'd never imagined the commander to face such an end at the hand of the Flag master."Kane was feeble-minded and slow when it comes to getting the job done. He believed in giving the weak a chance to seize power. I beli
