Earl stood dazed for a moment. He was roughly 6 meters away from chief Uvo, and he had Tyger in his hands, but he couldn't believe it.Chief Uvo had a spear made of blood running straight through his chest. And standing in front of him was none other than Dia, the blood Alchemist, clutching the other end of the spear.The chief was stabbed? Was the chief going to die!? Why the hell was Dia here!? The ORA... Of course they'd be responsible for something like this."DAD!!!!" yelled Tyger as he broke free from Earl's grasp, "grab the child!!" Yen's voice rang loud and clear in his head."Tyger!!" Earl reached out and grabbed Tyger, pulling him back as his eyes zeroed on Dia. The second Earl pulled him, a blood spike flew straight into the ground where Tyger once was.Earl shot a glare at Dia. "YOU!!!" He said, almost growling in a cold and sinister tone. Dia finally realised who it was that stood before him."That white hair... That scar on your left arm... How could I miss it?" Smiled D
A huge gust of wind swept the entire arena as Dia took off with Earl in tow. "EARL!!!!" Sidney yelled at the top of his voice, looking up at Dia.His heartbeat was racing, he couldn't believe his eyes. He felt happy, angry, worried, anxious, he felt all sorts of things at the moment.It was so confusing. He didn't know that humans even had this many emotions. "Dia! The ORA sent Dia!!?" Thought Sidney as he watched them get farther and farther."Shit! I finally found you and this happens," said Sidney as he clicked his tongue. "Who are you!!?" A Drakeman soldier asked as he pointed his spear at Sidney.Sidney turned around, that's when he realised he was surrounded. All the traitors in the arena were killed and on the ground, the allies had slaughtered them all.The chief's standing body was still at the centre of the arena. "This is bad," thought Sidney. "Spike said these guys hate humans... And Jester isn't here, I can't convince them I'm on their side," Sidney raised both hands."I
Standing on a pile of corpses was Spike and Jester, along with a few ally Drakemen warriors, all covered in blood and all panting."These men..." One of the Drakemen said, "where did they get this devil's magic?" He asked, turning to Spike."I've never seen a Drakeman use devil's magic by simply swallowing a blue liquid," he added. Spike shook his head, "it's not alchemy.""This is something else. Something a lot more sinister and disgusting," said Spike. "Something isn't right either. Drakemen can't use alchemy because they basically don't have any mana in them. But there's definitely mana in Storm... But it's not normal mana." "What do you mean?" Asked the Drakeman, "this is a drug. It's made with mana but it's not alchemy, and I don't think it simply 'gave' your people the ability to use alchemy, it only strengthened them," said Spike."And if we don't find and take down all these Storm users, it could be really bad," he added.Jester turned to Spike and pointed in a certain direc
Emilia was inside the old broken down house. The inside of the house was a stark contrast to the outside however.The floors were swept, not a single cobweb was in sight, and Emilia was sat down on the floor in a certain room, with a book on the floor in front of her.She still hadn't learnt how to read all the characters in the book, the chief hadn't taught her all there was to know yet, but the little she understood kept her entertained.Not to mention, the book had an abundance of pictures. She still didn't know why the chief had taken her from the hands of Mrs Catherine, but she was grateful.All the time she'd been given had given her wounds time to heal, and she'd been able to learn a lot in a relatively short time.No one except the chief had been visiting her, and he'd bring food, books, and a few other things for her from time to time.She was strictly warned never to leave, and she'd listened to that rule completely, never trying to even open the door to see if it worked.A
Tyger was stationed outside the house, hiding behind a rock. Eight of them, they were eight traitors with red marks on their foreheads.He'd heard a loud scream coming from the inside, and he'd seen one of them get scolded for looking into the house.Emilia was in danger. The more he hesitated, the worse things would get. He didn't have any time to waste.He'd thought up multiple plans, but no matter what he'd thought up, he'd always see himself getting killed by the end of it.He was weak. He knew he was weak. But still, that wouldn't stop him from trying. Fighting eight Drakemen warriors? And they were all armed?No plan could account for a small boy winning, not in the short notice he had. So he decided on something he would've never considered in the past.Now that the entirety of Wyvtenament was in turmoil and chaos, now that each Drakeman fought or ran for their lives, now that his father was dead... He was done being a coward.He took a step forward, coming out from behind the
Sidney was rushing as fast as he could. He had a rough idea of the direction that Earl headed, and he would try his best to get there.Kipple, the chief of the Drakemen, ran beside him. They'd passed a horde of enemies on their way here, but the both of them were incredibly strong.Sidney knew the Drakemen were stronger than humans on a normal day, but this Drakeman, the chief of them, he was a cut above the rest.If they'd fought Sidney could tell; it'd be a tough fight and he'd be able to injure him, maybe even fatally if luck was on his side, but ultimately he'd lose.The gap wasn't too big, but it was apparent enough for one to be clearly stronger. Perhaps in the future he would be stronger, no, he definitely would, but for now he had to settle on being weaker.They began heading in a direction Kipple remembered. "I remember this place," said Kipple, "you live here don't you? I'd expect you to," said Sidney."This was where we first met him," said Kipple, Sidney turned to him, "Ea
Sidney and Kipple were currently locked in battle against the three eyed man and C9. It didn't take much in terms of picking opponents.Kipple was taking on C9, and Sidney was taking on the three eyed man. This took place moments before the final fight between Earl and Dia concluded.The fight lasted no more than a minute. The reason was simple; The ORA underestimated them."I'll kill the you as the blunder that you are, child!" Said the three eyed man, "I'm in a rush, so I'll make this as quick and painless as possible," said Sidney.Sidney slammed his foot into the ground and gathered mana in his hands. Blood began dripping from his toes.He drew an alchemy circle using his toes, one made from his blood. Out of the alchemy circle jumped out Berry, the bioluminescent jellyfish.During his training with Spike, he learnt a valuable skill, one that he wouldn't have had he not been with the bandits.Mana and Ki are very similar yet very different. Each grants power, but said power does v
Outside of Hank's estate, stood two men. One was a tall man that towered over seven feet tall. The other was a short noseless man. Both had blood stained on their clothes, and both stood on a pile of Drakemen warriors bodies."Phew, that was unpleasant," said Wolfgang, the taller man. "You can't be a bandit without a bit of killing every now and then," said Hans as he pulled out a broken sword from the chest of one of the Drakemen.He then slammed the flat against Wolfgang's stomach, "and it would've been a lot more easier if you'd made the swords right!' "Hey! I made em right I did!" Said Wolfgang, "yeah right you did. Why'd they break then?" Hans began walking off."I don't know. I used stronger metal than the last ones..." "Ya idiot! Metals gotta be strong AND flexible. A sword that can't flex is a sword that breaks!" Said Hans."Oh..." Wolfgang said as he looked down at the sword. "Either way, looks like we caught him before he could escape," smiled Hans as he looked at a certain
