"Incredible..." Ryker was fazed by the sight in front of him.
Kinkaid had created what looked like a storm of purple-coloured astral blades with his scythes.
The blades aimed at Ming and the android takes off dashing around the room in a desperate effort to avoid the attack.
"From a single swing of his scythe, he created this devastating attack... Astral could be used in a way like this as well." Ryker finds himself learning more about astral as their fight progresses.
The blade storm ended with Kinkaid laughing maniacally. Ming stood across the room with several cut marks.
"Even the bot couldn't dodge'em all," Ryker said nervously."Kikikiki." Kinkaid snickered. "You managed to dodge over a dozen of those blades. Yes! It won't be fun if the prey doesn't put up a challenge." He wore a malefic grin as he spins his scythe over his head."Reaper's Storm!"

"Hahahahaha!" Kinkaid laughs maniacally as he sends multiple slash waves flying at Ryker and Ming.The two stallions run across the room in a bid to avoid the relentless assault.The scythe wielder was showing no sign of slowing down as he creates more astral blades with every swing of his weapon."I thought facing you both would be more fun... Now it's getting boring!" Kinkaid paused.Wearing an annoyed expression, he raised his hand. "Five minutes. I'll give you guys five minutes to devise a plan to stop me. Hurry up now, entertain me further!" He finished smacking his lips."Grr..." Ryker felt humiliated by the hunter's actions."He's mocking us." He snarled as he balled up his fists."His level of astral projection and manipulation is top tier," Ming stated."That scythe of his is annoying! We have to get it off o

"So, what do we do with him?"Ming asked Ryker as they stood in front of the unconscious body of their attacker."Honestly, I want to kill him." He paused then scanned Kinkaid. 'He's about my age. We're of the same age, yet he's way beyond my league... For now.'"He has a higher rank than that witch. Meaning, he'll have more information than she ever has, we'll take him to Zera once our bastard of a captain returns."Ming silently looks at Ryker.The ex-hunter felt uneasy over the stare and glares at her."What?" He asked taking a deep breath."Over the short period that you've been here, you've changed. The old you would have wanted to throw this psycho overboard the soonest.""Yeah well..."

LOCATION: ELFIEM MAGIC TOWER"I couldn't believe it when I heard that the notorious Jackal Knight was in my tower."A young man with blue hair running down his back clad in a dark blue cloak approached Jackal."Ahh, " Jackal exclaimed as he examined the man. "Who would have thought that such a young fella would become Kris's successor." He said stretching out his hand for a handshake."Pleased to meet your acquaintance." The man accepted the handshake.'For an elf, he has such a firm grip... Hehe, you're strong alright, I'll give you that.' Jackal thought to himself."I've heard so much about you from Master Kris, Master Knight.""Master Knight huh?" Jackal rubs his chin. "I like the sound of that!" He stated with a grin."My name is Aleister Reigns, student of the former Grandmaster of the magic tower, Kris."

"You need to learn to keep your emotions in check."Ming scolded Ryker. She had witnessed his outburst earlier thanks to the surveillance cameras that were in the cell room."Tck, I didn't know what came over me." Ryker faced his plate.The two of them were having a meal in the dining."Well, whatever it is. You have to be more careful. You were releasing pulses of your astral energy. Any more and you could have fried the circuits of the room thus freeing that psycho.""Sorry..." Ryker said.'Hmm, no snarky comment? That shows at least that he knows to accept his mistakes.'"Well, no real damage occurred. But just be more careful please.""I will."'I thought I had my emotions in check. Why did I lose control? He didn't really say anything to vex me that way.' Lost in his thoughts, Ryker was unawa

"Are you ready to despair?""Captain, are you alright?"Ming rushed to Jackal's side.The two glared over at Ryker. He was covered in his astral skin."Master Knight, Lady Ming. What is our course of action."Jackal rubbed the spot he was struck earlier."Simple, we knock some senses into snow-white before he loses his mind completely."He grins before unsheathing his sword. Ming had only just noticed the sword and gasps."That's...""Hehe, I didn't see Kris if that's what you want to know.""I see..." She muttered."Well then, I'll have you two step back." Jackal grins as Ming and Aleister took a few steps back leaving him to face the berserk Ryker."Snow-white. I don't want to be the one to do this, but you better snap out of whateve

"This place again?"Ryker found himself back inside the astral plane."What's happening?" He clenched his head. "Last thing I recall wa- Ack!!" He felt a jolt of unbearable pain.Crying out in pain, the ex-hunter held grabbed his head and squatted."Huhuhu. It's time.""Who's there!" Ryker shouted, still suffering from the striking and increasing headache."It's been what? 2 weeks since you were here and you've already forgotten about me. Tsk, tsk, tsk. I can't say I'm not disappointed vessel."Ryker raised his head and in front of him was the faceless humanoid being he met when he first entered the astral plane."It's you," He said weakly.

He opened his eyes to see Jackal, Ming and Aleister looking down at him."Guys, I'm ba-" Before he could finish, he paused to look around himself. The first thing he noticed was that his hands were chained with cuffs similar to the ones they used on Kinkaid. He sat up to see that he was not in his room."Tck, what's the meaning of this!?" The ex-hunter snapped."We can ask you the same thing," Ming replied. "What got over you?" She asked shooting him a hardened gaze."I don't know." Ryker was reluctant to tell them about the Etherian."I believe you do, Master Ryker." Aleister pointed."Is that why you guys locked me up in here!" He snarled. "Where we kept our enemies. Am I the enemy now?" He frowned upon them before looking at Jackal.Jackal did not wear his usual grin. "We decided we c

The last thing I want is to seat at the same table as that association scum.""Very well then," Aleister sighed. "Enjoy your meal." He said exiting the room.Ryker leaned on his bed with his legs crossed. "I thought he'd never leave."He munched down on his food without a single worry.Although he told the wizard his reasons for not eating with them. He didn't tell him everything."There's no way I'm eating at that cursed table..."He looked over at the clock in his room. "Any minute now..."As if on cue, a loud explosion came fro

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

"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

"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?"

"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
