2024-03-19 20:25:50It was now four days after the battle between Krystal and Vladmir.
News spread far and wide across Ernia about the Brave, who defeated one of the strongest district commanders.
In an isolated area not far from Hondah, an army officer was being addressed by a man.
He was tall and skinny, had silver hair, and was clad in violet armor with a cape around his back.
He was pacing about with his hands positioned behind him.
"Soldiers, join our armies to become heroes the same way the legends of old did."
"They are born to rescue, to enter hell, and to conquer on behalf of the light!!"
"Let the children born of the hero's heart be the champions of the weary; let them take their strength and lift the broken, for they are the ones who would lay down life and limb to do what is right!!"
"So take up your arms and follow me as we go to battle against the accursed artifact users!"
RAWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
All the soldiers raised their weapons in unison and let out their war cry.
"All hail Harijoh!"
They cheered.
"All hail Yusaku Ona!!!".
He left the soldiers and walked into a tent. Inside was a map describing several parts of Ernia and routes leading to Hondah.
"General Ona, may I enter?".
A woman's voice was heard from outside.
"Kira, please do come in."
A woman entered the tent.
She was clad in pink armor and a pink cape; she had brown hair that was barely visible over the helmet she was wearing, which also covered her face.
"General, if I may, now is the perfect time to attack Honda.".
She proclaims as she holds up a phone depicting a roughly captured video of Krystal using the Kill Switch on Vladmir.
"There was news that Vladmir was beaten by some kid in Regrah."
"Hmmm".
Yusaku Ona took the phone from her and played the video again.
'That armband on the kid's hand looks familiar, but I can't seem to point out why'.
"Kira, send a message to the capital."
"Yes General!"
"Tell them we're moving the invasion by a week and get me, my brother.".
Meanwhile, back in Regrah...
"Calm down, demon spawn, or your wounds will open up.".
Krystal had finally woken up and was gleefully jumping around after seeing the finished emblem.
"Sheesh, why do I feel like I'm only here to babysit you?".
The thief facepalmed.
He smiled...
'Well, I'm glad he's alright.
"All that's left now is an Ark.".
An Ark, as the name suggests, is a giant ship able to carry numerous people and goods that every guild has.
This, along with an emblem, are the basic requirements needed to start a guild.
Krystal, who had calmed down, was currently at the inn with Grover.
"And how on earth are we going to get an Ark!?".
"I don't know.".
"(- -)".
KNOCK KNOCK
They heard large knocks coming from the door of the inn. Grover walked up and opened the door, only for him to retreat and take a fighting stance.
The one who came into the room was none other than Vladmir.
"What are you doing here?". Grover exclaimed.
Vladmir seemed to ignore his existence entirely, as he only had his eyes on Krystal.
"Hey! Don't tak-"
Before Grover could finish, Krystal held his arm out to stop him.
He then walked forward to come face-to-face with the large behemoth.
"Have you come for a rematch?".
He asked, cracking his fists with a smirk on his face, ready to throw down.
The large man then did something unexpected.
"Hey!! What are you doing? Get up!"
Vladmir was on his knees.
"Please let me join your guild!"
"Eh!!!!"
Grover plopped down at this turn of events.
The man who tried to kill Krystal a few days ago was currently on his knees and begging to join their guild. But what happened next left him dumbfounded.
"Okay". Krystal said with the usual smile on his face that they were never foes.
"Great! I heard you were looking for a guild, Captain."".
"Yeah, you think you can help us out."
"Hahahaha! You're my captain now; just give me the order, and I will follow."".
Grover, who had become a statue of shock, could only turn his head as he witnessed the current conversation. And once again...
"Eh!!!!"
One week later, the trio arrived at Honda.
"Commander!!!"
Cain, Ruth, and Vidal, Vladmir's trusted compatriots, came rushing towards him.
"We're so glad you're okay!!". Ruth sobbed as they all hugged the muscular man who patted them on the head.
They were rejoicing at the fact that their leader was back and safe after he got into a fight with
"You!". Cain pulled out his sword and pointed it towards Krystal. The man who defeated their captain and defamed him watched a blurry clip of Krystal delivering the finishing blow to Vladmir.
"Stand down, Cain. He's not the enemy here."".
Vladmir took the chance to tell them about how he had joined Krystal's Guild and would be leaving in a short time as soon as they could get an Ark.
At first, the trio were perplexed and didn't want their leader to go.
"You just got back.".
"Yeah, and what about Honda?"
"Hondah has done alright without me for five years now, and they're in perfect hands."
He placed his hand on Cain's shoulder.
"Cain, you have been a loyal and dear companion; all of you have, really, but I want to travel further across the world with Krystal here."
The three were all tearing down as he continued.
"I don't expect you guys to forgive me for abandoning Honda, but we will always be allies, and Honda has always been in good hands." He finished with a smile.
"Commander!!"
The trio burst into tears and hugged him one more time, and then it happened.
BOOM!
A series of explosions could be heard around the district; smoke and flames were scattered everywhere.
A guard came running over, his face like he had seen a ghost; there were only hundreds of them.
""Commander, you're... here. We're... under attack."" The guard exclaimed, panting heavily; he was also bloody and injured.
"Yusaku Ona is attacking."

Fini
Grover sat meditating in the house of shadows. One of the most unlikeliest places that he thought he would be at this time. Not quite surprisingly, it had been a year since their adventures with the members of the guild and the Ore organization. He smiled gently because, at least, that was something to smile about now—because those were terrible days. Days in which they lived for months on the brink of the end of all humanity, only one step away from one wrong move. Beside him, Shambala was levitating. It seemed as though both of them were communicating through telepathic means without even saying any words. Not too far away from them, Vladimir and Krystal had just finished dueling that morning, and while Vladimir had stopped to clean the perspiration from his face, Krystal, who had won the match, was feeling a bit more excited and was walking away with a smile on his face.On Krystal’s side, it seems like after everything, their lives went back to normal. But, of course, he knows th
In The Enemy's Lair IV
Krystal, in getting out of his stance, quickly lunged at the man, whom he quickly identified as a member of the organization. He remembered the horrible things this particular individual had done to him in the past few hours and was not only going to pay back, but was also going to take the opportunity to punish him for his offenses against mankind.The man quickly realized that he was in a dire situation with three of them facing him, but being a typical member of the organization, it did not even occur to him that there was any other way out of this. He was possessed by the kind of pride that could not ask for mercy. He braced himself for battle and began to fight ceaselessly, even as they attacked him mercilessly on every side.Several times in the short period, they would look at each other’s faces and, without saying a word, deploy the strategy on how to teach this fellow lesson. All he knew was that he bore the brunt of this skill technique, but he did not know how they arrived,
In The Enemy's Lair III
As Grover and Vladimir fought with the guard, Krystal simply looked on without saying anything. Grover realized that, at that point, he was unstable and also very vulnerable. It could easily be tilted in any direction if he stayed in that trance, so even as he fought, he thought of the scheme to get them out of this situation.“Krystal! Krystal, we’re here.” He yelled, but there was no response.Seeing this, they immediately continued to fight with the man once again while they kept trying to use physics on Krystal so he would awaken.Krystal remained where he was standing and didn’t quite pay attention to them, but the man they were fighting with did not like the idea that they were trying to wake Krystal up. The man was annoyed with the way things were going. It was his fault, but there was nothing he was going to be able to do about it. He had caused it. In that moment, he thought of a number of things. The first of which was the reason why he did not call for backup as soon as he
In The Enemy's Lair II
Grover lay on his side, thinking about how he had probably broken a few ribs and how tired he felt. This fight had gone on seemingly forever. He knew they could not give up. But he had to admit that he was getting tired. He looked to Vladimir, who was unmoving with his face in the dust, and did not like the silence, which was only interrupted by the heavy breathing of the guard. If there was any consolation in this situation, it was the fact that the heavy breathing was an indication that the guard himself found them a worthy challenge and was also tired.Just as they finished fighting, as they lay in the dust, they heard a mighty sound as the wall behind them cracked. Grover mustered all his energy in time to see what had made that sound, and he noticed Vladimir also tried to do that, regardless of how tired he was. Not knowing what was beyond the wall, he did not like it that the man behind it had been fighting. He was excited about whoever was coming behind it and looked at it with
In The Enemy's Lair
Grover and Vladimir had been fighting the security person they had seen by the gate to the cave, and it looked like he was getting the better of them. In fact, he had begun gloating, teasing, and making fun of them about how weak they were despite being two and coming against him as a single person.Just as he thought that he had defeated the two, a loud yell came from deep inside the structure. When Grover heard it, it took a minute to sink in, and he then became excited because he would know this voice. Anyway, this was Krystal’s voice. Krystal was yelling that he was not going to agree to be used.“ Arggg!!! Leave me alone! I will win! I have already won! I will always win.“ He kept shouting these over and over again, warding off whatever entity it was that he was fighting, saying that he wouldn’t give up and he'd keep fighting. The more they listened to the exchange, the more they realized that he wasn’t fighting with someone outside of himself but with something on his inside. It
Battle At The Gates Of Doom II
Grover and Vladimir have been deployed by Shambala to go find Krystal and his father, rescue them, and bring them to safety while he and the rest of the guild had a face-off with the members of the organization at the gate. Aside from the unfortunate fellow who had seen them attempting to escape and had paid for it dealing with his life, no other person had seen or been accosted so far because of the chaos they had left at the gate. Grover did not think that they would intentionally make such a stupid decision as to drain the entire facility of its fighting force to only one location to fight an enemy.He thought that the decision to concentrate their entire fighting force in one location was born out of the mindset that they had never been attacked here and, with the exception of the members of the guild, might never have even been discovered at this location. Grover also thought of how it was such a good feeling. Nobody was lunging at him to take his life or were trying to fight wit
