It has been a day since the battle on the Nightshade clan's ark, The Mini-Cruiser. "We just got back from the doctor." Kaz and Tyson walked in on the others.They all dropped whatever they were doing and focused on the two. Jolie and Farrow were looking healthy, having taken the antidote Tyson gave them. "Vladimir is going to be out for a while longer." "Great," Lex says. "Our ark's busted, and the big guy is out of commission." "The vagrant games start in a few days. How are we ever going to get ready by then?" "About that..." Kaz intervenes as he looks at Ernie, who nods his head. "I can't come with you guys." "I figured you'd say that." Tyson places his hand on Kaz's shoulder. "I pulled you two away from your tasks with the base."The vice captain shakes his head. "That's not it, Tyson. Ernie covered a lot while I was helping you guys with the whole Rada Khan thing. We finished up the base."The Nightshades faces lit up after receiving the good news from their teammates.
"There. We're all packed and ready to go." "You guys take care now." "We will, Sir Tyson." "Take care of Bessie for me, Kaz."Bessie is Ernie's mini-ark. They used it to get to the Western Continent in time. "What about the soldiers from Cronoa?" "They did their jobs in making sure nobody got hurt. They're already en route to the capital." Kaz explains. "I'll be sure to call Rohan and thank him for his help.""Alright, Nightshade!" Tyson spreads his arms apart. "We all know what to do; we'll meet up in a few days and head to Lundar together. They all nodded with smiles on their faces. "Tck. Let's get it over with." Says Lex. "Geez, how impatient can you get?" Kaz retorted."You want a face full of fists?" "That depends... You want an asshole full of feet?" The other's sweat dropped seeing the two argue. Ernie got in between them and slightly pushed them. "Easy there, fellas." Tyson laughs. "Well then, let's get to it." The three boarded the mini-ark and flew off, leavin
In a dark and gloomy room, Ventdra was addressing his sons for their constant "failures.". Reed and Riley were on their knees, bruised and battered, with cut marks all over their bodies."Father, please forgive us for our incompetence," Reed says as he rubs his elbow with Riley's. "Ouch! Uhm, yeah, father. We're sorry for failing you so many times." "Hmm. You should know by now that sorry doesn't fix anything." He raised his hand, and his anima gathered around him. The two brothers clenched their teeth and mentally prepared themselves for another lashing. "However, I did get what I wanted. I will let you two be for now. Rise." The brothers looked at each other and got on their feet. They bowed their heads at the same time and said in unison, "We shall not fail you again, father." Riley clenched his fist. "This is all your fault, Tyson. You and that stupid clan of yours."His anger was directed at none other than his brother. "You're the one who wronged Father, but yet he lets
"Let's get this over with," Lex scoffs. "What do you geezers want with us?" "Hey." Harold walked up to Lex. They were currently in the presence of the Elder Constellars. The Dark Consteller looked Lex in the eye. The fencer didn't bat an eye away from the endearing purple-coloured eyes of the man. Tyson looked on without an expression as Kaz was eagerly waiting for Lex to get what he deserved for being disrespectful all the time. "You're in front of the oldies... Show some respect." "Is that a threat?"The atmosphere changed as everybody went silent, until Harold decided to break that silence. "Haha. You've got guts, kid." He pats the shoulders of the thief. "Is it from spending time with Ventdra's kid?" Kaz plopped to the ground in a slapstick manner, not believing what he's seeing. "Harold is one of the most vulgar people I know, and so is that skinny bastard... To think they'd hit it off."Lex smirked. "Finally, someone notices my greatness." Tyson only laughs it off."Wh
"Are we going to do this?" Tyson asks. "Or are you going to sit here all day waiting for you three to come to a decision?" It wasn't like him to be impatient, but the Elders have kept Tyson and everyone else around them waiting for a verdict on what to do with the current circumstances. They've been at it for over an hour, muttering between themselves. Sometimes Tyson could hear some of the things they were saying. "Trust him? I refuse to trust an assassin." Elder Baraya snarls. He was the grumpiest of the elders and liked to carry out all his business head-on and straightforwardly. Shambala reveres him as "The Man Who Does Not Lie." "That too, the son of a don and head of the House of Bronze." He added. "I believe the boy has made it clear about his decision to severe any connection with his family?." Elder Ram said:. If Elder Baraya was straightforward, Elder Ram is careful and precise. He makes decisions after thorough contemplation. He makes sure he considers al
"Let the battle begin!" "How is the demon spawn going to fight somebody at this level without his magic item?" Lex asked Kaz, who was seated besides him. "All of his attacks were created by his shadow abilities." Kaz smirked. They turned their attention towards the fight. "Well," says Tyson as he creates a pair of Anima blades. They resembled his shadow daggers. "Aren't you going to come at me?" Lex gasped. "He can use Anima manipulation to that level?" Lex had always thought that Tyson merely infuses his anima into his attacks to make them stronger, and thus his anima manipulation skills were low. Now, Tyson just so happens to create a pair of Anima daggers similar to his shadows. "Don't tell me you thought that Tyson's strength came from his shadow." Kaz asked. "Tyson only got that magic item a little over a year ago, before the time that we first met. It was also when he cut ties with his family." "So that was why his brothers chased him around? They were
The location was the ark of the Nightshade clan, the Mini-Cruiser. 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 Farrow 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 I go from here?" It has been two days since Tyson and Lex accompanied Kaz to see the elders. Vladimir had awakened a day ago, and the ark's repairs were completed. Ernie had finished the repairs ahead of time and even went the extra step to add a couple of upgrades. For starters, the Mini-Cruiser lacked any cannons for battles against other Arks. Although these battles rarely occur on 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 Tyson.
"Seth." Inside a white room of infinite space, Tyson was standing in front of a cloaked figure. "Where am I? Who are you!?" The figure in front of him had the shape of a woman; her long black hair could not be kept hidden in the cloak. "I'm disappointed," said the cloaked woman. "You don't recognise my voice anymore." Tyson's eyes widened as he gasped. "It can't be..." The woman removed her cloak to reveal pale and smooth skin and a pair of dark blue eyes. In short, she was extremely beautiful, and any man would lose their mind gazing at her beauty. However, Tyson didn't gaze at the woman with the lust that most men would. His eyes became teary in an instant as he ran to the woman and embraced her. "Mother..." The woman smiled as she petted her son's head. "How are your brothers doing?" Tyson had dug his head into the woman's chest. "Is this just a dream, or are you real?" "It's both, beloved. I've been trying to reach you all this time." "Mum, i
