Chapter 19JARED"Probability manipulation. For seven and a half minutes after activation, a user is able to predict, control and manipulate any physical event. He's still in the infant stages, but I'd say he's growing pretty well. So, what do you think?""You couldn't have just said that before you made him torch me?" Ittetsu whined, audibly unimpressed. "Well, he needed a trigger, and I needed a demonstration—""So the kid had to torch me. Okay. Got it. Let me return the favor"In one swift course of action, he threw a fiery left hook for Jordan's chest, but his hands passed right through. "Heh?""Oh yes, I forgot about that. Space Manipulation. It creates a whirlpool pocket dimension to cheat the laws of probability, basically coexisting with my power if probability manipulation. Because if my powers are activated in actual space and time, reality could collapse in on itself, right Jared?" Jordan smiled. "Right!"Like the pest he was, I slapped Ittetsu across the

The Last Conjura Chapter 20ADRIAN OHARAI watched with a wry smile as he walked on what was now dry land. The second he stepped out, the parted river behind him immediately collapsed. That'd mean Gabriella just released her technique. I sneaked a peek at her, and she was just as shocked as I was. From the look on her face, she didn't understand what was going on eitherEven after releasing Riptide, Ryuu managed to harness the tiniest bit of it, and kept his heart beating with the slab of circulating water on his chest. "Miss Gabby, are you okay?" he emotionlessly asked. "Y… yeah." she answered. "Good. Who is he?""He's my…""Finally woke up, but on the wrong side of the river, I guess" I cut in before Gabby could talk. "That's one pretty solid 'harness' you've got going on" I gestured to his chest, but he didn't take his eyes off me. "Miss Gabby, any orders?""Don't kill him… that's all.""Mnn" he nodded, tilting his head down. *ZOOMMMM*He sped in my direction. "Oh, you're fa

The Last Conjura Chapter 21ITTETSU"Joker!" Sira ran over to her injured friend wheezing on the floor. "I told him to be patient" Jester muttered."Who are you people?" I asked. They were all silent. "I won't ask again.""Who we are is none of your business. What we're here for should be your concern" Jester assumed a fighting stance. "You want to play games? Fine. I'll beat the answer out of you myself."We sprinted at each other and traded a couple blows. His attacks were weak but precise. This one was a little stronger, but there was nothing my technique couldn't overcome.He ducked underneath a thunderous right, only to get hit in the same position, by the same right. "Urk. So the rumors are true… Phantomist" he wiped a blood stain off his lip. I was dead silent and emotionless, just stood thinking of the best possible way to—"arggggghhhhhh" Joker shouted from behind, and before I could dodge, landed his loc

Who knows, perhaps they would have accidentally mated wit ya" I smiled. "Watch your tongue, before I rip it out for ya"I sensed him getting angrier by the minute. "Still got a dead sense of humor I see. Something's never change, do they?""J… Jared" Ittetsu coughed out some blood and got s couple stains on my coat. "W… what is he—""Quiet" I swung my feet in his direction, and knocked the wind out of his lungs before he could speak. "You should be thanking me for not killing you myself. Tch. You look pitiful.""Somethings never do" Raph talked my attention back to him. This would only take a minute. Walking closer with my hands still in the pockets of my coat, "I don't want to have to kill you to teach you a lesson this time. Stand down, or better yet, surrender, and we'll find a way to sort this mess out already.""Like he

The Last Conjura Chapter 23 KENJI "Derecho is an ancient technique" I started. "It was believed that only the strongest protectors were gifted such power. I mean, for something that shows up once in a blue moon, it had to be bestowed on just about the strongest or most deserving protectors around." "What do you mean 'something'?" he asked, now audibly interested. "Is it as strong as a colossal technique?" "Stronger" I didn't hesitate for a single second. "As a matter of fact, even if you combined a simple, median, and colossal technique, it'd be nothing compared to Derecho." He was quiet. "I'm sure Gabby told you about Asgorath." His eyes lit up. "Derecho would destroy Asgorath" I said, not missing a sing word. "Asgorath was your brother's strongest technique." "His colossal technique." "But even Adachi apparently wasn't deserving of Derecho. You were." "You sound so sure. Why would—" "There are three phases of Derecho. One…" I lifted my index, "...the Dormant phase. The

Prelude RYUU “You planning on picking yourself up? For the seventeenth time today?” he said, while I laid writhing on the floor. “Come on now, get up. We don’t have all d—” “Shut Up!” I replied, wobbling to my feet, more tired than pissed. “Oh?” he tilted his head in shock. “This was supposed to be a sparring lesson. You’re supposed to be helping me.” My breaths were beginning to get louder. “Instead, you’ve been tossing and throwing me around for the past hour. You’re trying to—” *WHOOSH* Without warning, he sprinted towards me with the most devilish expression on his face. His arm swung so far back, he left no opening to dodge or duck underneath it. Only thing I could do, was brace for impact. *POWW* *THUD* “Watch that loud little mouth of yours now” his 6’3 frame towered over me while I winced on the ground. “We’re not mates.” “You’re twenty-four, shamelessly whooping a nineteen-year-old’s ass. You want an award for th—” *SQUASH* He planted his foot right on my bruis

Chapter 1 6 MONTHS LATER RYUU … I hate it here. “Well then why don’t you go ahead and resign? ‘Wong’s Books and Stationaries’ doesn’t even need your lazy ass. Hmm? Did she hear that? “You come in here every day, later than you came in the day before. You don’t clean, sort or look after anything. But at the end of every month, you come asking for your monthly bonus.” “About that, Miss Wong. November’s ending today. I was wondering if I could—” “Well I oughta—” “Ma’am, please take it easy.” The sixty-year-old was held back by a customer before she could reach me. “Sir, I think you should leave.” “Let me go. Let go of me” Wong kept screaming, trying unsuccessfully to claw at my face. “Yeah. You’re probably right.” “And don’t you dare come back. You hear me? Don’t you dare come back!” I pushed passed the transparent glass doors of the bookshop and they slammed behind me.

Chapter 2 RYUU “Take it easy n—” “Get back” I said without thinking. “How did you do that? How… How are you alive?” I turned from Jared to Jennifer. Nothing made sense. “Oh?” “This is new” Jennifer said with a smile. “Something funny?” I turned my attention to her. “You might want to calm down Ryuu. We don’t have the time for all this. We’ve got to go—” “And what about the people who just died? Huh? Jennifer? They’re your ‘weirdo’s’ right?” “Wow. He’s all sentimental too” she annoyingly beamed an even harder smile. “Thought you said this one was gonna be different. He’s even worse than the rest of them. Remind me never to pair up with you on a mission again.” Mission? “Well the feeling is very much mut—” *CLATT* I picked a piece of ‘fusiform’ wood from the broken counter, and stood poised at both characters. “Someone better explain to me how your deep cut just healed up, and how a goddamn—” “Put that down before you hurt yourself.” “What’s going on Jared?” “Put the woo
