"I... Can't....breath." He clutches his neck and begins to pant repeatedly.Keith was laughing maniacally as this happens with his arms spread apart. "I am the embodiment of chaos, I swear to wreck havoc wherever I go!" The audience looked on with horror. Vex felt his life flash before his eyes. Storm took a deap breath and shouted. "What the fuck do you think you're doing, Keith!?"Keith turned around to the direction of his brother's voice. The crowd were silent and only whispered their thoughts so Storm's voice was able to reach the assasin. "For the first time, I'm doing what I want to do and not what someone tells me to!" He shouts as well. "Killing Vex will get you disqualified!" Storm shouts back."That's the point, I am done following orders... My father's, the Dons, I'm done with them!"The crowd repeated the word "Dons." Just what were those two talking about. Scott, Coby and Mr. Peaks watch as Vex hopelessly gasps for air. "Vex..." "What did he ever do to you! Co
"Guys, tell me about your dreams!" Storm exclaimed to his friends. They were all gathered in their rooms. "What's this all about?" Euston asks."Nothing," The System bearer grinned. "It's just, I know our shared goal is to solve the primordial puzzle but we all should have separate goals don't you think?""..." The crew pondered for a while. Not once did some of them bother to think about having separate goals but, Storm was right. They can't be tied to his dreams alone. They each need to have something else thay drives them. "Well I want to find all the lost music of the old world." Bleck raises his hand. Of course Storm and Kaz already knew that. Storm grins. "Okay, Next!" His eyes lit up."I want to find the Akashic Record." Lucy's words made the Tempests gasp."Isn't that just a myth?" Euston asks. "Actually," Tanya said. "I've heard the Saints talk about the Akashic record before.""As a Elf, I've always dreamed of finding the Akashic records!" "Now things are getting i
"Relic Awakening: Blood Rush Scythe!" "Hahahaha." Zed bursts into laughter. "You're playing all your cards early, does it mean you recognize me as a valid threat? Good. I'll play along." He slams the rear of his Thunderbolt to the floor creating a stream of ligjt that engulfed him. The ligjt dimmed out and out he emerges with a longer thunderbolt. "Relic Awakening!" He shouts. "Ladies and gentlemen, this fight keeps getting heated by the second. It's captain vs captain. Relic Awakening vs Relic Awakening, who will stand tall!?""300 Million Bolts Stream!" Zed clenches his weapon and flings it at Rhea with force. Her actions in response to this attack shocked him and the spectators. She move to the side a bit and spread her arms apart. The thunderbolt moved so fast in a stream of electricity that its path was difficult to trace. It shred through her shoulder drawing alot of blood. Rhea cried in pained as she holds her wound.The thunderbolt made its way back to its master by
"Kill Switch!" Keith shouted, his voice echoing through the arena like a thunderclap. The dark mana radiated from his body as he lunged forward, his attack a concentrated burst of energy. Storm responded instantly, his own mana infused with miasma, creating a swirling vortex of darkness that converged with Keith's attack. The impact of their collision sent shockwaves rippling through the air, resulting in a mild explosion that rattled the spectators.Keith grinned through the aftermath, his smile sharp and predatory. "And here I am to think that losing your relic made you weaker," he taunted, his words dripping with sarcasm. His eyes gleamed with a mix of amusement and disdain as he assessed Storm's reaction.Storm stood his ground, his expression unperturbed despite the force of the collision. "If anything," he replied coolly, "I'm 10 times stronger than I was that day." He referred to the day their father took away the Heart of Malacoda, the legendary relic that once gave him extrao
He looked up at his brother and saw an unstoppable force, he saw a person who started out at his equal but ended up surpassing him by leaps. Storm walked up to Keith and stretched his hand out to him. "You're going to help me rescue Dan and Valor."Keith silently nodded his head and smiled. He curled his lips and regretfully said "I give up.""And we have our second finalist ladies and gentlemen!"The crowd cheered in what sounded like the loudest they've ever cheered. "He countered his variant of an mana burst with his own?" Kira who was seated beside Zed and the Tempest Team muttered. "That's the most credible way to negate an mana burst." Said Zed as he holds her hand and raises it for a kiss."Uhg, those two are starting to make me sick." Lucy said to herself. "That could be you and a certain somebody, Magster." Ernje who was sweating beside her heard what she muttered."Eh!?" She gasped. "What are you talking about?" She whispered to the guitarist."What's the sound of one ha
special type of mana crystals to resist space-warping abilities.""Hehe, you're a freaking assasin. I'm sure you can slip your way through.""True, but still. It won't be easy.""I know, please try." Keith looked into the eys of his brother and saw the desperation in him."You really care about these people huh?""To be frank, they are my second family." "Fine, I'll do my best. I never had a choice since I lost the bet anyways." Storm grins and pumps his fist into the air. "Solemn! Thank you, brother." "I'll be off then." Waving two fingers at his brother, Keith became enveloped in his miasma as he dissappears leaving Storm alone. Unbeknownst to thses two however, a certain figure was eavesdropping on their conversation the entire time.The man had his face covered with the hood of the cloak he was wearing yet his bulky body was visible.He dashed to the other side of the city and pulls out his phone.Dialing a number he placed the phone on his ears."It's Keith. He betrays us an
"Chimerer!" Storm shouted. "I see you're not holding back at the beginning." Zed smirked. "Fine, then I won't either. Relic Awakening!" The thunderbolt Zed was holding grew larger in size and it starts to release pulses of electromagnetic signals which were rendering nearby devices inactive. "We're in for the finals of our lives as our two finalists are kicking off with all they've got!" Dutt shouted to the mic hoping that it would work, but to no avail."Don't stress yourself Mr.Dutt," Harold turned to the announcer. "The electrical pulses Zed is releasing has a wide range. It won't end until the battle's over." Harold smiled which was uncommon for him. "Reminds me of a certain Lightning mana user."Storm created a pair of dark daggers to block the attacks of the thunderbolt. Their weapons clashed sending sparks flying in all directions. All in all, these two never lost their grins as they were enjoying the exchange. Clank!Clank! Crackle! Storm crossed his daggers to block
"Hurry!" Daniel and Keith were running through the halls of the castle as they turned around to yell at Valor who was catching his breath. "I am not as energetic as you youngins!" He snapped back at them. "Sorry." They said in unison, their voices a perfect harmony of remorse and regret. The two figures stood side by side, their postures heavy with fatigue and their expressions betraying the weariness of battle."It'll take time before I can summon Garla and recover all my strength," whispered Selene, her voice a soft tremor against the silence that enveloped them. Her mana, once vibrant with energy, was now dimmed, barely a flicker."Great, now we're stuck here," Daniel replied with a hint of frustration. "I can't teleport us out of here unless I know we're all at a hundred percent. We might just appear in a battlefield." The thought of blindly stumbling into unknown territory was unsettling, and he knew they couldn't afford another surprise encounter.Daniel yanked at his hair, h
