was drained dry, the Aegis clan crash-landed into a forest outside of a city. They made their way into the city and bumped into Rex Valentines who offered them a bargain. With their newly acquired ain crystal, the crew had successfully arrived at Grum forest! It was an eerie-looking forest that was devoid of sunlight even though it was noon. The many large trees spread around to block the sun's radiance."Ehh!" Conroy screamed as he holds his face. His legs were shaking. He was barely able to control his clanking teeth over the sight of a shadowy creature that brushed past through them. "S-Sp-Spider!" He jumps into the arms of Vorus who had a comically confused expression on his face. "Be a man Conroy!" He throws the archer down. Conroy scurries to get back up quickly fearing what other detestable insect that might be lurking nearby. "Th-That spider was huge! You didn't see it, Sir Vorus."He turns to see his clanmates have left the current area. "Guys!" A chill runs throug
"Gantala! You bastard, what have you done!?"Gantala had stabbed Jake in the back. He didn't pay heed to the voices of Rohan, Rhea, and Chase who were calling out to their friend.Ace had just arrived. "What in the world is going on?"Gantala pushed Jake with his foot to withdraw the sword as he scrambled back to the side of Rada Khan.Rohan glared at the two. "You two were in this together, from the very beginning.""I'm afraid so, Roro. But you don't worry not one bit. I'll have you and all your friends here follow Jakey soon enough!""Then... When you said that Axel and Mel betrayed yo-""Those fools chose to die with their king. I chose to live with my emperor!""Gantala!"Driven with rage, Rohan charged at the former General as their swords clashed."Rhea, please give up. Surrender and all this will stop, if I say a word to my liege he will show mercy."Rhea stood silently as Kira urges her to surrender.Kira might have been following the wrong leader, but she has no malice towar

I'm sorry Kira, I've been holding back thinking you weren't like them, thinking that you might choose a different path."Rhea's eyes
"There are so many people here!""And they're all braves like us."The gang had made their way to the top of Mount Lily for their first crypt raid as a clan."Woah, I can see Lily town all the way from here."The mountain top was also a famous tourist attraction sight in the western continent.Braves travel far and wide from different corners of the world so they could participate in the Aquarius crypt trial."There's the portal." Vorus points towards the direction of the crypt's portal."Come on let's go!" Ace dashes in the direction of the portal.He turns around and calls out to his clanmates to follow suit.Thud!"He crashed into a woman and her glasses fell to the ground."My glasses! Hey, watch where you're going, punk!" She gets down and begins to pat the ground helplessly trying to feel her glasses.Ace picks up the glasses and hands them over to the woman with both hands as he bows apologetically."My apologies, I wasn't looking where I was going."She snatches the glasses an
" seems to be happening.He jumps and shakes his body and yet it seems like the portal was just a hologram.The braves gathered around them started bickering."Check out that clown over there.""Is this like his first time?""No way, is he a newbie?"They all watched how Ace would charge at the portal only to go through it and turn again to repeat the same.Some of them were shocked at Ace's actions while the greater population were laughing at him.The woman from earlier was watching Ace as he hopelessly tries to enter the portal.'That fool, doesn't he know that the portal hasn't been activated by the keeper yet?'"Leave it to the newbies to make a fool out of themselves!""What did you say?" Reginald turned towards the direction of the voice that was mocking their captain.The red-haired man pushed through the crowds and walks towards Reginald.They stood face to face with only a few meters separating them."You heard me, your clanmate over there is making a fool out of himself." H
He stares off against Barbaros who grins in excitement. With Reginald and Vorus standing behind him."Kiddos," Shuntal faced the duo and smiled. "Why don't you lend a hand to your leader. Ada and I will handle this one." He pointed at Barbaros with his thumb."Hahaha!" Barbaros laughs maniacally. "Finally! A fight worth fighting." "Old man," Reginald glares at Barbaros. "Don't die.""Give my regards to your captain. I won't be here without your efforts." "Thank him yourself," Reginald said nonchalantly. "Come on big guy."Vorus had been staring down at Barbaros the entire time. He clenched his fists. "I'm weak. Too weak. After coming so far, I couldn't match up to him." Reginald seemd to have figured out what was going on in his mind.He places his hand on his shoulder. "I'm not one to give motivation but... Shuntal lost to him once, remember. You did good lasting so long. If you're worried about Ace. You know he'll only tell you to push forward and get stronger. Heck, I mean, tha
UNKOWN LOCATIONThree children, a set of twins and a tall kid who stood in their middle were facing a man in his 30's."Today, you three are ready to go on your first missions." He hands each of them a paper with names on it. "Seth, you shall follow Derek and assist him with an important task.""Keith, you will travel to Fitri and cross the names off that list.""Same goes for you, Reed." "Yes father." The three children said in unison. "Remember, Chaos is the truth." PRESENT TIME. "What's the matter, cat got your tongue?" Rex teased Keith who was holding his stomach after being attacked ferociously. "Tck this is just getting started." He snarled. "That I agree with you." Rex slammed his fists together creating a small spark of flames. He then charges at Keith with hua fist forward but the assasin grabbed his face with both hands and struck him with his knee. Rex was dazed by this and Keith sought to take advantage of that. He creates another pair of miasma daggers as the

Rex was dazed by this and Keith sought to take advantage of that. He creates another pair of miasma daggers as the previous ones disintegrated when Rex attacked him."Black X!" Keith slashed through Rex's chest. The red-haired man cried in agony as his blood splattered all over the arena. "Rex!""Boss!" Coby and Scott yelled. They were seated beside Mr. Peak within the crowd. "So much blood!" Coby exclaime
