This particular rejection and humiliation got Shambala and Stark so angry that they swore to become more powerful so that the organization could accept them.“This will be the last time I get humiliated by a fellow man,” Stark said.“That was not a fellow man, Stark. Do not let it get to you that way,” Shambala replied.“Let us get out of here,” Stark said, fuming.As they leave the crypt, they reach out to Sheamush for more dangerous crypts, so they challenge themselves to get stronger.On getting to the library, they were told that Sheamush was not around.“How do we get to the secret library now?” Stark asked. “Follow me,” Shambala said to him, encouraging him to follow him.They get to a narrow gate.“Where does this lead to?” Stark curiously asked.“It is a secret entrance that Sheamush showed me in case I had an urgent need for the library. Is anyone around or close by?” Shambala asked.“No,” Stark replied.“Okay,” Shambala said as he opened the gate, so they both went in.On g
“That was a crazy journey,” Justin said as Shambala ended his story with a hint of despair on his face. “You do not have to say it twice, my goodness,” Vladimir added."Well, that's everything I know about the organization,” Shambala said."So, do you know why they took my dad?” Krystal asked amidst the amazement."No, dear boy, I wish I did,” Shambala replied.“What do we do now?” Grover asked.“These people from the story are not beatable, so what is the use of even fighting them?” Vladimir said as he lay on his back.“Giving up? That is quite soon,” Shambala said with a little laughter.“We are not giving up. We became a team for a purpose like this, no matter what,” Krystal said.“I am with you, Krystal, but what now?” Riley asked.Krystal sat down as he felt the weight of the whole team on his shoulders. He has to decide as the leader. He has to call the shots and endeavor not to make a mistake.“I think I can help rekindle your conquest spirit,” Shambala said, looking at the te
“Each detail revealed about this group keeps getting interesting and, at the same time, very scary,” Justin said.“The scary cat is out of the bag,” Vladimir said, mocking Justin.“He has kept his composure for a long time now, which I must commend,” Grover said as he noticed Justin had not shown signs of being scared.“He has the right to be; you will soon find out why,” Shambala said back at Vladimir.After Shambala said this, the group was left in utter shock, as it wasn't what they expected. This creates different thoughts in their heads as they begin to join Justin in fear.“Do you happen to know their base?” Krystal asked.“What base? For what?” Riley asked, shaking."Relax, girl, it is just a question,” Vladimir replied.“Do you guys plan to attack the base of people you cannot even beat in a place strange to them?” Riley added, questioning them. "No, we do not have such intentions,” Krystal said. As soon as Riley heard these words, she gave a sigh of relief.“To answer what y
“How can one person wield such powers? Two artifacts? ”Riley said, sitting down, still looking unsettled.“This has to be a joke, right?” Vladimir said.“A lot of people find it difficult to believe this,” Shambala pointed out.“I do not honestly blame them; I mean, even those with one artifact sometimes end up being manipulated or controlled by the force behind the artifact. How then can one use two artifacts?” Krystal said.“Exactly my point. How do they put the two spirits under subjugation? ”Grover asked.“Your questions will all be answered during your journey. So long as you do not give up,” Shambala responded.“This journey will be a long one,” Justin said.“I still do not believe this particular information. Come on guys, it is logically impossible to wield two artifacts,” Vladimir said, showing his discontent with what Shambala said to them.They all looked at the old man with hopes of getting a ‘I was joking’ from him, but nothing happened. They noticed he did not even flin
For the team, it seemed all hope was gone. What would they do now? The look on their faces was once the same as on Stark and Shambala's faces years ago.Shambala could relate to what he saw on their faces, but would it hurt to relieve them with what he later discovered about the Øré? Quite uncertain of what their reaction would be, he is determined to tell them the unbelievable. At this point, all that was left was to carry it out and not allow it to remain a tale of unbelieved words.“There is something I must tell you, lads,” Shambala said as he stood up and walked to the corner of the room.“What is that?” Vladimir said.“Let's see, oh, another thing you forgot to tell us for a reason best known to you?” Grover asked.“A good thought, finally,” Shambala said.“How nice,” Grover said.“That is some credit, Grover,” Justin said.“I do not need it,” Grover retorted.“Hold up, meaning what Grover just said is that you are deep down scared for us and only revealing things gradually as
“Shambala is just sprouting gibberish, so we allow him to train us,” Grover said.“I am with Grover on this one,” Vladimir said, getting up to his feet.“Well,” said Shambala as he got up, dusting his clothes and laughing.“Fight me then,” Shambala said suddenly, with a stern look on his face.“Fight you?” Krystal was also getting up."Please, nobody should listen to him,” Riley said, pulling Shambala aside.“What are you doing?” she asked him.“Teaching them a lesson, trust me on this one,” Shambala replied.“You know I do, but this is too risky. I do not think I can allow it,” Riley said."Well, it is my call to make,” he said to her, turning again to the boys.“Come on now, lads, fight me,” Shambala commanded.“Hold up, why should we fight you?” Justin asked.“Good, if any of you manage to hit me, even with a single blow, scratch, or anything, then I will take back my words of calling you weak and of low capabilities, but if I beat you, then I will train you, lads. Deal?” Shambala
Shambala smiled at them, telling them he was not going crazy.“You lads need to chill out,” Shambala retorted, getting everyone's attention.“Grandpa is back,” Grover said, laughing as they all watched Shambala relax his fighting stance. “Grandpa did not go anywhere. You guys are afraid of what exactly?” Shambala asked as he wondered what he had done wrong.“Who would possibly chill out after seeing such and your later reaction?” Riley asked, frowning at him.“Do not give me that face. This fight is happening here and now,” Shambala replied softly as he repositioned himself.“Come on, lads, attack me first to find out if you can truly defeat me as you claim,” Shambala added.There is this further confusion that sets into their midst as they look at each other.“Well, we did agree to fight him; call what you just saw a warm-up and ‘the weak ones go first’ kind of situation,” Grover said.“You are right; if Krystal had allowed me to attack him in the mood I was in, he would be in his s
The team members get back on their feet.“Alright, you have had the first round to yourself. I must commend you,” Krystal said, brushing off dust from his shoulders.“I see you guys still want more. I would have stayed down if I were you,” Shambala responded, smiling.“How did he take you out that way?” Justin, scared it could have been him, asked Vladimir.“There is no time for questions. This old man is so going in for humiliating a district commander like myself,” Vladimir said as he created a huge storm with a mix of thunder and strong wind.“Ex-district commander, you mean?” Shambala said with a wink, looking undisturbed at the mayhem Vladimir felt he was about to unleash on him.Upon hearing what Shambala said to him, he gets angrier. His eyes turn white as he begins to let the vengeful spirit of the hammer take charge of his body.“Spirit of Mjolnir!” Vladimir shouted.Shambala notices Vladimir is about to ruin himself, and since he had already used the ancient body-weakening t
