Ryker and Ming sat across one another in the dining.
They ate in silence without uttering a word.
Ryker would peek a look at Ming who was concentrating on her food.
"Spill it?" She said without averting her gaze from her plate.
"Eh?"
The android sighed. "I know what's going on in that thick head of yours," She pointed at him with her fork. "How can an android eat?"
She had always noticed Ryker giving her looks whenever they ate together. The white-haired man had always wanted to satisfy his curiosity.
Ryker coughed. "I mean, it's not like I don't want to know..." He glances at the android.
Ming placed her hand on her chest. "The Astro rock inside of me is like a battery." She stated. "By eating, I can recharge the said battery. I also have a taste sensor in my mouth which allows me to perceive the taste of the food I

"Reaper's Storm!""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!"He swung hi

"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..." He scratches his head. He had never expected to hear such words from her. "You two have rubbed off on me. Tell anyone I said th

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."

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.

"Rise and Shine, Snow-white!""Huh?" Ryker slowly started regaining consciousness after yesterday's event. 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
