(Please note: The demons speak in a language called Tagalog. I am just writing it in English for convenience.)"WINNER! 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
"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
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
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. Oumar coughed out as he lifted his eyes to look at lines of red and emerald energies clashing
BLOOD MOON: AWAKENING It was a cold night in Giza, Egypt. A large crimson red moon in the sky. Civilians had been evacuated from the entire city. Soldiers at every corner, hearts beating, pupils dilating, sweat dripping. Guns clenched, tanks loaded, fighter jets circling the area, heavy artillery all focused on a single point, a small portal with distorted waves of brown energy. The portal was accompanied by a violent windstorm that engulfed the entire area and kept spreading throughout the country. Some soldiers collapsed from the pressure; others fell to their knees. A select group of five stood firm at the rear and mirrored the energy in blue hues. They were clad in knight like armor of the same colour. The brown energy returned suppressed, and silence took over the city of Giza. The commanding officer stood firmly at the rear. "Take aim!" he ordered."Here it comes." a soldier quavered to himself.The portal expanded to the size of a skyscraper and out rushed an army of demons."
The dust settled around Giza as the portal shrunk until it became no more than a dot. There were no living demons in sight. The soldiers set up their energy meters around to check for trace amounts of source energy while James sat atop a dead minotaur, panting. His black hair was soaked in sweat and his irises were constricted and had a red glow. He felt a tap on his shoulder. "You okay man?" James turned to see his closest friend, Abubakr. He had a concerned look in his eye. James raised his head as his irises returned to their normal grey color."I'll live," he groaned."It's that unstable huh?""Yup, I have to maintain a high level of focus to keep it under control. The core is very much alive at this point and it keeps on trying to take over.""Amazing how you can say that without a care in the world.""I don’t let it bother me. I'll just keep on fighting until I can overcome the
The soldier reached out for help as the light slowly faded from his eyes. Joseph's blue energy burst out, summoning an axe, and forming the armor as he dashed at Edward. David, already in full armor, followed his lead and tried to flank the demon.Edward smiled as he tore off the soldier's head and kicked the body towards Joseph. He engulfed the soldier's head with green source energy and quickly blasted David with it pushing him through a wall. Joseph caught the body and blood dripped on his armor. A staff swung at Edward's head, but he dodged it immediately. The soldier charged the staff and swung a second time, but Edward blocked it. The force from the impact pushed him towards Joseph, who slammed his axe into Edward's armor sending him crashing through the wall. As he laid flat on his back, his eyes met with David's, who came swooping with his twin Sai, ready to stab him into the ground. Edward created a blast to propel himself out of David's range. He landed on his back and rolle
The crowd gave Yu a standing ovation. Kris left the hall and headed towards the boy's toilet. He was a bit dizzy and also felt choked by a deep yet unexplained tension in the hall. As he got to the toilet, he washed his face. He noticed that someone was taking a shit in a section beside him."Tempting... but nah." He smirked to himself.He walked towards the exit door and as he opened it, his eyes met with James' fierce stare. In that momet, there was a brief surge of bloodlust from James. Kris took a few steps back instinctively. James calmed himself and walked pass Kris with zero expression. Kris found himself retreating a bit before trying to hold himself and his shoulder brushed against that of James."Did I just give way?" Kris thought as he recollected himself. After a brief moment, he realized that both of them had bumped into each other."Hey... what the fuck?" He bellowed while swaying his arms upwards."
