""Ace!?" "You guys looked surprised to see me." The ex-assassin looked over to see the unconscious Chase. "How's he holding up?" "Doc says he'll be fine as soon as he recovers his ain." "Or..." Ace moved forward and places his hand on the forehead of the speedster. A faint glow appeared and it wasn't long that Chase jolts up gasping for air. "Chase!" "Huh? What's going on?" The speedster took a minute to process the events that transpired. A look of disappointment crossed his face. "That's right, I lost, miserably." "How?" Jake asks Ace. "I shared my ain with him." Ace replied with a smile."You what!?" The enders all gasped."What? You guys seemed worried hihi." "We know that but we all contemplated on that and decided Chase won't want us to burn away our ain before our matches." Lexi States. "Yeah, and he wasn't really in any danger," Falkner adds."Ace..." Rhea speaks grabbing the hand attention of the ex-assassin. She blushed as she began to arrange the words she want
Barbaros's castle had a variety of rooms with guards patrolling every section of the place. One room, in particular, received more surveillance as it house two captives who were an important part of the Dons plans. The dungeon room used to have only one prisoner who was the Plumage Saint, that was not until he was joined by a familiar face. "Huhuhu," Shuntal laughs as he strokes his beard.His cell was opposite to that of the cell containing Reginald who was still in the form of Kisha. "It's good to see that everyone else is alright, Reginald."The thief gasped. "How did you figure it out?" "I might be old, but my senses are sharper than ever." Reginald brushed off the statement. "I'm here to bust you out, old man.""So your relic lets you transform into other people?" "Yeah," Reginald replied as he puffs out his chest feeling a sense of pride. "It's awesome, isn't it? A relic worthy of the great Reginald Star!""Huhuhu." Shuntal laughs. "It's great to see some things don't cha
"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
"Very well, it seems you've lost your mind. I'll oblige to your little challenge and don't you worry, I won't kill you, I'll only crush you!""You get one hit, then. I'll put an end to you!" Tommaso declared. "Has he lost his mind!" Kaz exclaims. It was unusual for the vice-captain of the Aegis clan to be surprised. "The energy being emitted by Lee currently is higher than Ace when he's in his Apex form!" He adds, making the other Aegises perk up. "Does this mean, Lee is stronger than the captain?" Vorus asks."Following energy statistics," Said Lela as she folds her arms. "Yes." Ace smiles. "That's okay, I'm not the strongest here anyway. Kaz and Lela are stronger than me hihi." The Aegises were dumbfounded by Ace's honesty. Maggie recalled a time that Ace mentioned Kaz being stronger than him. She had figured he was just being modest."But that wasn't the case was it?"They all turned their gazes to the Dragon Saint who had all her focus concentrated on the match."She's strong
"My name is Lee, and I shall crush all of your bones !"The man standing in front of the leader of Valhalla stood nearly 8 feet tall, he had a broad chest and was extremely bulky. But he wasn't like that a few minutes ago."What technique is that?" Conroy looks over at Ace. "Beats me." The ex-assassin shrugs. "Same here." Kaz states. "I've seen a lot of wacky stuff, but this one takes the cake," Ernie asks as he pulls out a roll of weed and lights it up. "Are you even allowed to smoke here?" Maggie asks. "You only live once, Mags." The guitarist hits a blunt and turns to Lela. "What about you, Dragon woman?" He says. "You Saints have a broad knowledge of the world and a ton of secret techniques. What can you say about this one." "Hmm..." Lela ponders for a bit. "I have nothing. He seems to have sucked the ain from the atmosphere to bulk up his body." She starts to explain. "It's like mantra yet, it's not since there are no markings." She adds. "It also gives off the vibes of
Clank!Boom! Crackle! Mjolnir, the weapon of the Norse god of thunder. Thunderbolt, the weapon of the Greek god of thunder. These two weapons from different mythologies clashed. "Thunder Mash!" Whenever the two weapons collided, a powerful shockwave occurred. Yellow and blue sparks flew as they canceled each others attacks. Vorus swung his hammer forward. 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. Zod sees this and takes a stance to prepare for the next clash."It's clear I need something more if I want to win." Said the nature's hunter.A powerful aura bursts around him momentarily. 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. "
"Rex is up against your brother," Vorus said to Ace. The Aegis was seated at the bleachers to spectate the final match of the day. Zod had taken Kira to the medical sections to get her wounds treated as they'd be having guests later in the day. "Do you think Sir Zod would want to watch this match?" Conroy asks."Knowing him, he'll be looking after Kira." "By the way doesn't she remind you of someone with the same name?" Kaz's words made the Aegises ponder for a while."Hmm..." "That's it!" Maggie snapped her fingers. "Rada Khan's right hand, that woman Kira." The Aegises except for Lela gasped. "That's right," Ace said. "They even share a striking resemblance, except this Kira has long hair." "Are you forgetting that this Kira's a loose screw?" Kaz intervenes."Yeah, she's not well up there," Conroy adds."The other one is usually calm and collected. I don't know what she's up to or where she is." Said Vorus."Didn't Rohan order the capture of all the soldiers that survived t
"Guys, tell me about your dreams!" Ace exclaimed to his friends. They were all gathered in their rooms. "What's this all about?" Conroy asks."Nothing," The ex-assasin grinned. "It's just, I know our shared goal is to solve the primordial puzzle but we all should have separate goals don't you think?""..." The crew pondered for a while. Not once did some of them bother to think about having separate goals but, Ace was right. They can't be tied to his dreams alone. They each need to have something else thay drives them. "Well I want to find all the lost music of the old world." Ernie raises his hand. Of course Ace and Kaz already knew that. Ace grins. "Okay, Next!" His eyes lit up."I want to find the Akashic Record." Maggie's words made the Aegises gasp."Isn't that just a myth?" Conroy asks. "Actually," Lela said. "I've heard the Saints talk about the Akashic record before.""As a historian, I've always dreamed of finding the Akashic records!" "Now things are getting intere
