"Huff. Huff. Even with the second layer, he's too strong." Reginald gazes at the miasma-covered assassin. Keith was laughing maniacally as he shreds through all of the thief's clones. "Hah! To think I was worried about your relic, pathetic... I'll make your death painful in every way." He licks his lips and charges at the thief. "Tck. Arc!" Reginald swings his sword to the sides which the assassin passes through using his miasma body. Keith stood in front of Reginald with a malicious grin. "Haven't you tried that already? In this mode, I can phase through all of your attacks." "I've noticed something about that pesky miasma of yours." He tightened the grip of his blade that was swallowed by the miasma... "Pierce!" The streak of aura created a hole through the assassin's body. "Pff. Hahahaha, is that all?" Reginald smiled. "I knew it, just as I can't touch you while you're phasing, you can't touch me either." Keith's facial expression took a sharp 180. "Grr, so what if you
Rise Of Steele Return of the Psychic
"So, Sal is with the Oracle Crew." Ryker, Jackal and Peck had returned to the Black Stallion to convey their findings to the others. "That's right, we're a step closer to finding him." Jackal states. "Something feels off here." Said Ming. Heads turned to her. "Sal's psychic powers allows him to feel our presence as long as we're in the samr galaxy, why hasn't he reached out to us." "Probably has something to do with the Oracle crew." The one who spoke was Kinkaid. "The Oracle crew were dubbed as the Five Vices. Five space pirate crew that rocketed to the top of the criminal empire in the span of 5 years." He smacked his lips. "I'd like to face them." "Five Vices?" Jackal, Ryker and Peck tilted their heads. "Never heard of them." They said in unison. "Peck I understand. Jackal too since we have been away, but how is it possible for a hunter to not know about the Five Vices?" Ming darts Ryker a disgusted look. He scratches his head laughing sheepishly. "I didn't pay attention d

Zod swayed to the right and arched his thunderbolt to cut the broad chest of his opponent.Vorus held his chest as blood spurts out.He licks his blood and smiles.

As the aura vanishes, his skin turned red. "Over clock X2." He declared. "Ouu." Zod exclaimed. "That's the power I've heard whispers about? It's an honor to go against such power."Zod had the seismic insight and could instantly grasp the power surging through his opponent. "

"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 worri
Rise Of Steele Prana
Vorus was panting heavily, darting a look at his opponent. The archer standing across him pulled the string of his bow and fired an arrow which splits into multiple arrows. "Yellow Rain!" He shouted. The former district commander grins as he swings his hammer in multiple directions deflecting all of the arrows that are aimed at him. "Amazing. Ladies and gentlemen, this match-up only keeps adding to the heat!" "It's amazing how Sir Vorus is able to move nimbly with that hammer of his," Conroy says to himself. He smirks as he points at the nature's hunter. "Arrow Port!" The several arrows that scattered on the floor of the arena disappeared. It didn't take long before they reappeared in a different spot... The body of the nature's hunter. Sticking out from his limbs were dozens of arrows that the archer conjured. Vorus winced in pain as he flexed his muscles causing the arrows to break apart. "Such power..." Conroy said in awe. Vorus bursts into laughter. "That ability of you
Rise Of Steele Pierce
"You're a lone brave right? Say would you like to join my clan?" "Ehhh!?" Ace's proposal caught everyone off guard. "Hehe, it's not Ace until he does something unexpected." Ernie comments. Even the Dragon Saint was surprised by the ex-assassin's actions. She looked at Maggie. "Is he always like that?" "You have no idea sister." Ace stood in front of the Ice Mage. "So... What would it be?" Jakeem bursts into laughter. "You're a wild one aren't you?" He jumps back to create space between them then creates an ice wall. "I like your bluntness, but I'm afraid I must reject your offer.""Ehhh!" The crowd shouted. "He rejected..." "A chance to join the Aegis clan!?" Jakeem presses his hands together. "Icicle Blast!"The ice wall standing between them began to rumble. "Trouble." Ace's senses warned as he enters his Glider mode. "Point One: Glider!" The pair of dark aura wings emerged from his back. Conroy's eyes lit up seeing the ex-assassin's new form. "Sir Ace has improve

The location was a room within Barbaros's castle. Jester was shouting in agony. A strong pulse of energy was being emitted from him.He was panting heavily, sweating bullets as he stopped screaming in pain. "Huff. Huff." He breaks into laughter. "Hahahahahahah! It's done. With this, my dead fingers will be revived." Jester sat on the floor with his legs crossed."Relic Awakening... This power will be useful for when I see that Aegis of a bastard that knocked me out in the elder's sanctuary!" He said in a venomous tone."Well," He got up and turned around. "Let's go check on my new playthings." ... "Ladies and gentlemen, with this conclude the last battle of round 3!"Keith stood over an unconscious woman.

It has been a day since the raid on the Elder's secret chambers. Elder Bari had recovered completely thanks to Kisha using Heal Pulse on him. Most parts of the chambers were ravaged and all the ninjas that were still alive were rounded up and locked somewhere. "Let the meeting begin!" Elder Ram declares from the altar as he and Bari looked down on the Saints, Ace and Kaz. "I told Regi to head to Lundar if he escapes." Ace states. "And I've spoken with the others, I briefed them on everything that has transpired so far, they will be heading to Lundar today leaving me and Ace left." At first, the Vagrant games were merely a way for the Aegis clan to test their might against other clans. But as the events unfold, they found out that one of the clans participating in the tournament was the Valhalla clan. A clan that works directly under Barbaros, one of their common enemies with the Saints. "Adacus..." Elder Ram called for the retired Saint. Adacus stepped forward. He had also r

Traitot's Blade
"Everything is going as planned." Aria said to herself as she gazes at Edrees. "Child, do not get in my way." "Sensei..." "I told you!" She snapped. "I told you, I am not your sensei anymore, as of today, I have severed all ties from you." Edrees looked at his teacher. She was the woman who took him under her wing all those years ago, she taught him how to survive in this world, and most importantly... She gave him a family. "I refuse to believe that you will betray your family!" He points his blade at her. "Then come child, I shall clear all your doubts!"She takes a stance with her sword and bright purple light enveloped the blade. As the light dimmed down, the sword had transformed into a long sword with regal designs. "That's the true form of her sword..." Edrees concluded that his sensei does not plan on holding back in any way. "What's the matter?" She snapped him out of his train of thoughts. "If you're not going to come, I and my blade, Dyrnwyn will come at you!" Th

Inside Ace's mindscape, the ex-assassin was concentrating on conjuring a doorway that'll lead him out. "Why is nothing happening?" His desperation increases the more time passes. He had communicated with the Sloth Saint earlier and couldn't help but get the feeling that something bad was happening. Although he trusts his friends will be in good hands, he was still very much worried. "Ace...""Huh? Kisha! Is that you!?" "I... Finally... Reached... You..." "Where have you been? I can't seem to get out, what do I do?" "Not... Much... Time... To... Get... Out... Break..." He listened carefully to the voice that echoed in his head. "Break..." "Kisha? Break what!? Hey, Kisha!" "Argh!" Ace slammed his fist to the ground in a fit of rage, that was his only chance on finding out how to escape his subconscious. He grew even more restless and was too deep in his thoughts to notice a crack on the blank white floor beneath him. "Huh?" He looked down at the spot he struck earlier. "A c

"It's been hours since Vorus began his training with Dimitri, don't you think we should check upon him?" Maggie, Conroy, and Ernie were currently sitting on the deck of the Dragonheart. "Nah, Dimitri isn't much of a people's person, Vo bro will just fine." The laid-back guitarist states as he gets up. "Right now, we should focus on seeing what we can do to make you two stronger." "You mean us three?" "Yeah, don't you want to train as well Bro Kaz?" "Conroy my man, I'm not a fighter, I'm a pacifist." The two Aegises tilted their heads."What are you talking about?" Maggie scoffs. "We fought Ace's brothers together!" "That's right and it was your unique aura burst technique that brought the two brothers to their knees." "That's true, but that case was different, my friend needed me and I had to step up. Most of my narly musical abilities are buffs and the aura burst doesn't really deal any fatal damage, it only forces my foes to catch some zees.""So you're not going to train?"

OLD DOJO IN BORDER TOWNErnie was lying on the floor with his back leaned against the wall. He had just finished making a roll and was ready to take a puff. He hits a blunt and says... "Well, we've been waiting for hours bro, are you sure Dimitri is going to show up?"He hands the blunt to Enrique who was sitting beside him. "He told me he had some errands to run and would be back soon.""I'm tired of sitting around and doing nothing!" Vorus exclaims. "Why did you even interrupt my training?" "Chill big man." "Don't tell me to chill... Little man." "Calm down Vorus. Ernie was just trying to help." Maggie scolds."Yeah, you didn't have to mean about it, Sir Vorus." "Sorry..." "It's okay Vo bro." "Vo bro?" The former district commander tilted his head unaware of the creaking sound of the door opening behind him. "He's here!" Ernie's face lightened. A man walked into the dojo, he was wearing a black kung-fu uniform and had a belt strapped around his waist of the same color."Ern

"Argh." The ex-assassin had been trying to lift the dark orb inside his subconscious, but to veil, the orb would not budge."Why won't this thing budge!?" He shuts his eyes and begins to think of a way to lift the orb. "Think, Ace, Think. There must be something that I'm missing. This is my subconscious, meaning everything here is inside my head and I have a certain degree of control out here." He stares at the glowing orb. He picks it up with ease. "I can lift this one easily, guessing that's my first layer."He chuckles. "To think they'd call them cores instead of layers but... Who am I to judge?"He hardens his gaze and slaps his face. "Focus Ace. Your friends are in danger... I have to get out of here the soonest."An invisible light bulb appeared on top of his head as his face lit up. "Of course! That just might work." He tightened his grip on the glowing orb. "Here goes nothing..." Ace slammed the glowing orb onto the dark orb on the floor and a shockwave sent him flying."

The people gathered around the burnt body of the Sniper Saint watched as a bright golden light enveloped him. Kisha was a user of the Light element and has the unique ability to heal fatal wounds."We've been at this for an hour now," Reed's impatience was evident in his tone as he folds his arm. "Are you sure he's not dead?" "Let's hope he's not dead..." Ace walked over to face Reed. "For all of your sakes."The two brothers exchanged glares and turned their gaze toward the Sniper Saint after they heard him coughing. "Jacob!"Ace, Harold, and Reginald gathered around Kisha and the Sniper Saint. He tried to speak but was stopped by Kisha. "Don't... Stress... Yourself... Not... Done..."She then glances at Ace and Reginald and the three of them nodded their heads unbeknownst to everyone around them. "Full... Burst:Heal... Pulse!" She declared as the light around Jacob grew bigger blinding everyone around the place momentarily.The lights dimmed down and the Sniper Saint was ful
Ark
The location was the ark of the Aegis clan, the Dragonheart. Ernie was currently humming as he . Ernie had finished the repairs ahead of time and even went an extra step to add a couple of upgrades. For starters, the Dragonheart lacked any cannons for battles against other Arks. Although these battles rarely occur in 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 Ace." Says Conroy as they arrived at the deck joining Maggie and Vorus. "Are you two finally done?" Vorus was working out when he saw the two of them. "You guys have been in there for hours." The repairs in the engine room took more time than the other parts of the Dragonheart. Ernie chuckles and scratches his head. "We're done bro, and ready to party!" "Party?" Maggie retorts. "Shouldn't we discuss what we do next from here?" Vorus had recovered and the ark is fully repaired, that too with a few days ahead of
