The Dragonewt and Group 7 engaged in a tense stare-down. As its source energy rose, it squeezed the hilt of its sword and exhaled steam. As their aura grew stronger, the three established unique fighting positions and augmented their cloaks. It lowered its sword to the ground, its eyes gleaming.

"Here it comes." Su warned.

The sword glowed as it dragged it across the ground before releasing a towering crescent shaped energy. Su and Fred dodged to the right while Kris dodged to the left as the energy tore deep into the wall sending out broken rocks and dust. The demon dashed towards Kris, lifted the sword overhead and struck down on him. He rolled further left letting the sword dig deep into the ground. It squeezed the hilt more, its veins popped and its eyes glowed with a sinister smile. It quickly swung its sword rightwards. Kris lifted his hands to guard and augmented his cloak but the power behind the sword sent him flying to the far end of the room.

"Kris!" Su yelled. The demon tu

    More energy blasts kept tearing through the building. Two headed for Mr. Darwin, who was already on the floor, but Kris used his body as a shield to protect him. He carried the old man gently and rested him behind a chair. Su carried Fred and placed him beside Mr. Darwin. She was also pissed. She looked at Kris and he nodded. Kris burst out through a window to the left, while Su burst out through a window to the right. Their eyes glowed as they looked at Group 2. Raul's teammates focused their energy blasts on them. Kris ran through the blasts, tanking every single one till he got close and punched one of them in the face. The punch pressed deep into his face, and you could hear the cracking of bones before he was launched a few meters away. Kris stomped his leg into the ground and dashed past him till he was some distance behind him. He caught the guy in a bear hug while his feet dragged a bit. He squeezed the guy's bones till they cracked, making him scream out. Kris did a suplex, l

    A brief moment before the beeping sound began, deep in a junkyard; there were explosions from the clashing of energy blasts. Group's 4 and 6 were in a deep clash over attaining each other's core. Francis gets kicked into a pile of car parts. He struggled to sit up. He was severely bruised, bleeding from his left hand and had his cloak rough. One of his teammates was down while the other, Beatrice, just finished off Amr's remaining teammate. She regrouped with him as Amr walked slowly towards them."Give it back and I'll not have to hurt you anymore," Amr ordered with his energy swirling."It's two against one and we have your core as well as ours. You are done Amr. Why don't you bow out quietly?" Francis responded."Two green sources want to take on a blue source? Best Joke I have heard in a while." Amr's cloak beamed as his eyes glowed. He took a boxing stance as he faced them."I guess we have no other choice." Beatrice muttered as she formed two energy spheres in each hand. She me

    FRANCIS ROLAND VS GEORGE ADAMS"So I guess I'll be meeting Su first amongst all y'all," Francis laughed."That's if you don't get disgraced in the first round," Kris retorted."You better be more bothered about yourself. One of you is going to face Salim and I am just glad it's not me. I basically have this in the bag"."I don't appreciate the confidence Francis," George spoke out as the two began to walk towards the exit. Francis didn't respond to him which irritated George more. Fred sat and looked at the other three contestants. He thought to himself that he was going to face either Kris or Salim soon or both if he was somehow extremely lucky (or unlucky). He scratched his head as he sighed. Francis and George were at edges of the center circle. A stare down as both took fighting stances. "Ready!"Francis green cloak started from his back and covered his entire body while George's yellow cloak started from his right eye and covered his entire body."Begin!"Both dashed at each oth

    Time stretched to infinity. Fred was falling into the explosion as it started, Beatrice at its heart, The ref dashing into it. Everything came to a complete stop for everyone when suddenly, large white chains surrounded the stage while spiraling around the explosion. In an instant, it shrunk with the explosion to a tiny dot at the tip of Louis's finger. Louis who was now standing at the center of the stage blew at the tiny explosion and it quenched. Beatrice and Fred found themselves laying comfortably in a white energy bubble."You kids continue to intrigue me. That was a superb battle." He smiled as he looked at them. The crowd, the contestants, the ref, and the MC were all confused and surprised but one thing was for sure. "Winner Fred! by ermm... uhhh" The ref wasn't sure what to call it."Let's say by interference. That's if you are okay with it, Beatrice." Louis spoke softly and Beatrice didn't even realize that she nodded in agreement. Her heart had skipped many beats at the f

    Tension brewed on the stage as there was a stare-down between Kris and Salim. Salim in his croc's stance breathed out steam as his eyes glowed. Kris closed his eyes as he took in a deep breath and silence followed. He opened his eyes and fired energy blasts rapidly at Salim. Salim started moving from side to side as he advanced while dodging the majority of the blasts. He got close to Kris and launched the croc's jaws at him. Kris jumped back onto his left leg and created a blast from it which propelled him into the air thereby dodging the attack. While in the air, a larger croc's jaw was already enclosing him. He gritted his teeth and forced out two dense energy spheres from his hands and used them to stop the Jaws from grabbing him. He used the spheres as a lever to pull himself out of the croc's Jaw. The jaws closed on the spheres afterwards and exploded. Kris blasted two spheres at Salim. After they travelled a bit, they both burst into three smaller spheres each and zoomed fast

    FRANCIS POV:Survival of the fittest. The world is controlled by the will of the strong. The prey can't cross its predator, the natural set boundaries. Those who try to cross their boundaries get crushed, but that doesn't necessarily mean its unfair. Everything is a predator as much as it is a prey. We are not exactly classified into the weak and the strong, rather we are in categories of strong with weakness being the undeniable difference. For instance; A lion is strong to a cheetah, a cheetah is strong to a gazel, a gazel is strong to grasses, grasses are strong to the ground. So also a cheetah can't overcome its weakness to challenge a lion neither can a gazel overcome its weakness to challenge a cheetah in that order. Stay in your zone of strength and you'd live a long purposeful life.I didn't always belive in this. But the everyday society made it more prominent. My father was a pushover at his workplace.

Kris spoke to James as he sat on the waiting bench, fingers interlocked with his elbows on his knees."Agreed, but you did set this final match to maximum difficulty.

    An obliterated area in Alexandria. Scattered traces of source energies (from red to yellow) all around burning onto the land. Explosions had occured all around which had in turn caused the ground to deteriorate even further.Laying flat at one end of the land was Salim. Totally beaten and unconscious. He had blood dripping out from the wounds on his arms and legs also from his mouth. A cold breeze blew across his body as his heart rate continued to drop. Deep in a crater was Asim, half buried with only his arms and head being exposed. Dried blood all over his mouth and neck. Explosions continued and so did clash of weapons and cracks being spread across the land.Laying beaten with his back against a boulder was Oumar. The upper body of his yellow armor was destroyed and blood flowed out from a blade wound a bit below his chest. The boulder had a large splash of blood with deep holes on it.

    Kris opened his eyes slowly in a hospital room. He felt like he had been in a long dream but couldn't remember what exactly the dream was about. He sat up then noticed that his body was perfectly fine and also energetic. "Why am I here?" He muttered as he tried to recollect his thoughts. "Yeah, the graduation ceremony. Su and I were about to start the finals?" His mind flashed quickly to he and Su exchanging blows and going hard against each other.""No. We actually started the fight. We went head on against each other. We were about to deliver the final punch when.... when..." He couldn't remember. The door to his ward opened and Fred walked in. He was wearing a T-shirt and jeans with a face cap on his head"Nice! You are awake." Fred spoke with a cheerful tone."Oh, Fred." Kris didn't know how to react. A quick flash of his battle against Fred ran through his mind. He remained silent as he watched Fred take up a seat beside him."Clam down and don't look at me that way. It is creep

    "ATTACK!"The ten minutes battle began with the collision of weapons between Sadiki and Joukron. Others followed as they entered a deadlock with their counterparts. As Sadiki and Joukron pushed against each other, Joukron smiled and an orc flipped over him and struck its spear at Sadiki. His eyes glowed blue, then he formed an energy sphere to intercept it. The little shift in concentration gave Joukron the edge and he pushed Sadiki back before kicking him into a wall."This one is mine. Go and retrieve it." Joukron ordered. The orc nodded and headed for the transport room. Sadiki burst out of the wall with quick speed in an attempt to strike the orc down, but he was intercepted by Joukron."GET OUT OF MY WAY!" He roared as his Katana began to glow with blue energy. He grabbed it with his second hand and was able to push Joukron back. Joukron laughed then licked its butcher blade. Both of their energies rose and they launched at each other. The two entered a fast flurry of exchanges w

SU MING"These words resounded on the stage although everyone was in a state of confusion. Su had barely recovered from the fear she felt moments ago. "What were those eyes?" She thought to herself. The ref, signalled for the medics to come forward. He turned to Su and opened his palms to help her up."Congratulations." Louis voiced suddenly appearing behind the ref. This froze the ref but Louis tapped his shoulder to relax him. Su hadn't fully processed all that happened but she nodded at Louis based on instinct."I am sorry but further congratulations would have to wait till after the blood moon." Louis declared and the ref nodded in agreement. "What? There's a blood moon happening now?" Su spoke in shock. The Medics soon arrived and were about to begin a check up on Kris but to their surprise, all openings on his left hand were already cauterized. Louis soon felt

    In the demon world:The heilimaws were getting prepared for their raid on the human world. Armies marching towards a convergence of brown source energy. The convergence began to expand slowly and formed a tiny hole in space. The more the energy converged, the darker the colour of the hole.In a small war camp, three heilimaws sat discussing their plans "It's about time." Andrago called out to Edward and the mysterious partner of THE LADY."The process and eventual training were rough but you made it possible. This power I feel, it is beyond what a green source should wield. How did you do it?" Edward clenched his fist as he smirked at the mysterious partner. A calm emerald energy enveloped his hand."Well, it wouldn't have been possible if you didn't absorb a second core. Regardless, I have done all I can for you. What's left is to see if you can live up to your worth, Azaskiel." The partner mentioned before being enveloped by red energy. He disappeared shortly. "Weird fellow," Andr

    (A FEW MOMENTS EARLIER...)Su's eyes were closed and she entered a profound state of unconsciousness. She felt as though she was actively drowning in a crystal-clear sea and has no power to stop it."I am trying my best! Why isn't it working!" These words echoed around her."Where am I?" She spoke weakly."It hurts, It's frustrating," "Did I lose?""I am weak! I can't keep my promise to you.""Whose voice is that?""I can't protect anyone. I have failed you papa.""Oh, that's mine. The self-loathing. I guess I actually did lose. No matter how far I go, there will always be a wall I can't overcome. I thought I had made peace with that. I thought I was going to give my all regardless of that fact and move on with my head held high...So why do I feel this pathetic? Why do these words echo in my head?"From behind her, a faint yellow light emerged, illuminating the entire space she was falling into."I also have a goal to fulfill and I don't care how many people or demons I'll have to ta
