It was now day 4 of the Vagrant games, the day of the quarter-finals. The crowd was vibrant as always.The announcer made his introduction speech giving the names of the participants that have made it thus far. "Ladies and gentlemen, this tournament keeps hotter by the day! For our first match, a battle you all have waited eagerly for... Two captains pitched against one another in a fight that will be nothing short of a final before the final... Ace Shadows vs Tommaso!"The crowd cheered and booed for Ace and Tommaso respectively. The Aegis clan had all gathered at the bleachers to watch the match. They glared at the captain of the Valhalla clan as he descended to the bleachers. Tommaso had a smug look on his face as he looked at Ace who had waited for him to descend. "You finally get me, one on one. Are you excited?" Ace darts Tommaso with a venomous look.His hands were shaking excessively. It wasn't out of fear, but out of rage. He recalled the way the man in front of him bru
"Black Guillotine!" Ace used his strongest attack to attack Jester as Reginald and the Saints watched the mad clown get encased in the explosion of the massive slash attack."Is that it?" Asked Reginald. "I'm afraid not, lad." The dust clears and Jester remains standing although he had suffered considerable damage from the attack. He held his shoulder as his clones gathered around him. "These are your super clones?""The boy who barely killed one of my fingers has developed this much?" Jester didn't bat an eye away from Ace. He can share the same memories as his clones, so he recalls all the events that transpired with his clone that fought beside Rada Khan. "Harold," Ace looked at the Dark Saint. "Can I count on you and Jacob to take care of these clones? I want Jester myself." The two Saints nod their heads as the four clones divided themselves and approached them. "Kisha!" Harold called out to the Sloth Saint. "Elders Ram and Bari are in the rehabilitation room, you have

"You didn't have to go that far." Tommaso had returned to his room where he was met with the sight of Keith. "I thought you weren't coming till after your match?" "Don't change the subject!" Keith snapped at Tommaso. "Watch how you address me. I'm the captain here." "Pfft. Have you forgotten that I'm merely a part of your clan for conditional reasons? We're here to win the access codes." "Yeah yeah but that doesn't change the fact that I'm thr boss around here." Tommaso brushes off Keith's shoulder and made his way to the bed. He sat down and clutches his hands. His body was shaking excessively as he lowers his head. "That girl was stupid enough to awaken my taste for blood.""You almost killed her. As much as I love a good showing of brutality, that would have disqualified you." "You think your brother would just sit by and let me kill his clan mate? I thought you knew him better than that given that you two are twins." Keith clicked his tongue. "If I was you, I'd be worr
"Finally!" Ryker exclaimed as he spreads his arms apart. "I can breathe fresh air again!"He, Jackal and Zera have made their way back to the Black Stallion."Well?" Jackal turned to the vampire. "What do you think of Stally?" He asked with a grin as he puffs out his chest.Zera scans the cruiser momentarily before setting her gaze back to its captain. "She's as vibrant as ever." She remarked with a smile.Ryker wore a stoic expression as he glances at the two. 'Why are they talking as if the cruiser is a living thing?'Just then, Ming approached them."Ming..." Zera said in a cold tone.Ryker felt a chill run down his spine. She gave off the same vibe as earlier when they met. The look was aimed at the android yet he felt restless."Zera..." Ming responded in a similar manner."I see Jackie still hasn't taken you for recycling.""I see you're still trying to pass off as a young and beautiful woman despite being an old hag."A vein popped on the vampire's head. Zera gritted her teeth
"So, this is it." Ace faced his teammates. He recalled all the difficulties and trials they faced together. "We've been through alot, huh?" Reginald smirked. The others wore saddened expressions. "This goodbye is not forever, sir Ace." Conroy says struggling to put his emotions in check. "Yes!" Vorus exclaims as he throws his arms in the air. "When You return, I shall challenge you, Captain!" "I'll be sure to share my findings with you." Maggie added. "Yeah bro, we'll rock it out when you get back." Ernie added. "I'll keep these rascals in check for you." Said Kaz. "Guys..." Ace's eyes sparkled. He bows silently and turns to Ryker who was waiting for him with the Cruiser. "I'll miss you..."
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
