CHAPTER 24: ENERGY CONTROL It was just a few hours ahead of afternoon and none of them had eaten, Marko Rivers had a long gap between him and the others. At first he wanted to slow down because he felt he was getting much help from the system but that was when it occured to him. The goal of the training was to fully use your gifts while circulating your energy so that it would not run out. Manually it would he hard but his system helped him with most of it. Because his gift had a lot of positive attributes to it did not mean he would have to lower himself just bevause he wanted to make anyone feel better. The more he ran the more it occured to him that this was his own race he ran. But he never once had any really friend, he was foolish to think he did. So he determined within his mind that he would not stop running his race again, no matter what. Unknown to him, though the gap between him and the others were far apart; his actions caused some chemical reaching o
CHAPTER 25: THE DARK CASTLE Marko dropped down on his side his insides leaking out blood, his body a mere husk of his former self. "Glurg. Glurg." As his eyes dimmed he stretched out his hands to sir Valtor standing over them his feet stained with blood and moaned. "Sir V- Valtor." Valtor Rose opened his eyes as he found Marko Rivers standing before him. "We're ready." Marko finished. "Alrighty then." Valtor hopped to his feet as he walked ahead of them. He had been visualizing, something he always did to train his mind. But he could not dispel the ominous aura of death leaking out from the castle. They had all changed their clothing and had set their minds solely on the battle at hand. Only one of them chose to ask the very crucial question. "Sir Valtor, I still don't get why terrors would be in a castle. They are suppose to be solitary beasts, monsters infact." Quint hinted. "It's all far too bizarre." That was also what was bothering the Golden Prince. He has never
CHAPTER 26: #1 & #2 (1) Valtor Rose approached the building with them following close behind. He could see a sign hung up reading "PERMS ORPHANAGE". Marko and Ted stood side by side to each other, their eyes fixated on the huge wooden door that carried a number of cobwebs and scratches. They could all feel the fear, it had never been once recorded that terrors worked as an organized group. What could that possibly mean? "Marko, Ted welldone in sparking that wonderful chemical reaction. It's proof that you despite being in Cobalt Blue the weakest ranked house, you can easily link up the perfect attacks without communication." Valtor spoke with certainty. "I want the rest of you to recreate that, this is not a drill. This place clearly reeks of human flesh as it seems some of these monsters are humans. Also... There is a very high possibility that there's a high terror in there." They all had puzzled looks except the uncanny duo that were both lost in thoug
CHAPTER 27: #1 & #2 (2) Number two started to assault the two girls at an incredible speed causing them to back up as fast as they could. "Hey, werido! Don't get in my way!" Nari yelled at her companion. "If you want to help do your thing!" Echo nodded without doing anything. Number two chuckled as she started to multiply in great numbers. "After consuming so many female organs I have been able to freely reproduce more of me, it's a really demanding skill but it's worth it if I get to eat someone else like you two loves." Now there were about fifteen copies of her each with inhuman claws on their hands. Nari hissed. "Are you sure you were really human?" "Humanity is a fleeting, father's goal to destroy humanity will be achieved at all costs." Number two said. Nari generated blue electricity from her hands and legs. "Lightning Flash!" She darted forward and started to slay the clones of nine that had just doubled in size. She reproducing them much more faster than I can
CHAPTER 28: THE BEAST CALLED NUMBER ONE Ted ignited his red flame and screamed at the top of his voice. "Flaming fist!! Larva Burn." The monster labeled as number one pulled back and blocked the flames with a simple gesture. "Haha, then I have to turn up the heat even more." Marko watched Ted from behind in amazement. "Ted really has gotten stronger. You sure you do not want me to help?" Ted laughed with pride resonating in his voice. "Nah! Just watch me show you how it's done!" Marko remembered how egoistic Ted was, that was where his true strength came from. His pride! Ted used his rocket feet to increase his attack speed and close in on number one. "Eat my flames ugly!" There was an explosion of fire as smoke as the mutant threw his fist for his head. "Whoa!" Ted yelled as he pulled back sharply. "Damn, he survived my strongest attack up close? This guy is really something." He put a
CHAPTER 29: TED'S DARK PAST "ACCK!" "What is this darkness?" Ted saw himself standing in a small cottage, sunlight streaked in through the window indicating that it was still daytime. But where? He could see the fire place, the mat the table. It seemed all to familiar for him not to remember. "Why am I home?" A chair appeared before him, a small wooden chair just before the small fireplace. The was a figure sitting in the armchair. "Umm, who are you?" He asked in a scared tone. "Tsk! It is chilly today is it not... Son?" A small sweet voice spoke to him. Ted gasped out of shock and walked slowly to the front of the chair and looked at the sickly woman seated in the chair wearing a simple gown and having thick brown hair draping down her side. Her face looked shriveled and distorted by old age but she looked to be in her early twenties. Ted had shrunk back to a younger version of himself of age five. "M-- mom?" He broke into a light sob.
CHAPTER 30: THE FLAME EMPEROR AWAKENING Ted's flame burned even redder than before, the smoke that sizzled from it were so massive that his body itself was beginning to get burned up in that flame. "Die!" Number one blocked it with his right fist only to have it blown off instantly. "You are stronger insect but the gap between us is still far as the heaven from earth." WHAM! "FLAMING KICK!" Ted drove his lit leg into the mutant's side slicing him in half. "I have to get damn stronger than you or that brat, so quit yapping already. Come at me like you mean it!" Number one smiled and regrew his body part almost instantaneously and junped back to put some distance between them when Ted closed the gap in an instant and blew his head off his body. BOOM! Number one regrew his head and jumped back. "My regeneration has been slowed, even with the powers of my brethren in me I can't seem to keep up with him." Ted came to a halt and screamed. "Quit runnin
CHAPTER 31: THE DOCTOR Marko stood there keeping the rest of team five safe from the huge explosions. He had resisted the urge to go save his best friend from-- well, himself. And now it was all over, as much as he want to run over and see if Ted was okay he still had one porblem... "Where is Valtor?" He asked himself. [Detecting Strong Power Level Of 9.5] [Level: High Rank Terror] "What? A terror? An actually terror?" "But I thought high ranks were just stories, what could one be doing here then? And where is Mr Valtor?" At the top of the stairs was a figure, no ! It looked like a man but it was a humanoid creature with black skin and six hands that looked like syringes, knives and needles. "Impressive, very impressive indeed!" The terror spoke in clear human speech expression his emotion of rage. Clearly something different from what Marko had heard about terrors. "It makes all my hard work for year seem like I was just playing around." M
CHAPTER 46: THE TEACHER'S CONFERENCE A big round table surrounded by numerous seats dominated the room at the top of the tower. The room, with its high ceiling and grand windows, overlooked the sprawling grounds of the gifted academy. Here, the prized teachers, the protectors and mentors of the nation's most promising youths, gathered for a crucial meeting. "We have to make sure the tournament this time around goes well," said one of the teachers, his voice tense with the weight of the responsibility. "Since when has it never gone well?" another teacher replied, a hint of exasperation in her tone. She was a veteran, having witnessed many such gatherings, each fraught with its own set of challenges. "The circumstances in Saceria make this even harder on us," interjected a third teacher, his brow furrowed in concern. "The faith of the people in us is very weak at this moment. They doubt our capabilities more than ever." "But we are the only line of defense for the people," ano
