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
It took a few weeks for Phoenix to make it all the way back to Charlie and the group. But once he did, the entire group was glad to see him. Crystal and Janet fawned over Plushmellow, while Charlie read the note strapped to its body.It was a letter. From Earl and Sidney to the teachers, their friends, their families, and all their classmates.After reading its contents, Charlie sent it straight to principal Horace. And after he confirmed that the letter was legitimate, he duplicated it and sent it to all the teachers currently leading students in the journey to find Earl and Sidney.And with his permission, they revealed the contents of the letter to the students."Hey everyone. It's me, Earl. Before I say anything else, I wanna let all of you know that I'm safe and sound, and so is Sidney.Though, I'm not sure if you're ready for the stories we have in store for you. Long story short, we got separated a few minutes after we got kidnapped, and we escaped from Dia.I got knocked out
Rain fell down that day. The day that a mass funeral was held for all the casualties that fell that day.All the innocent civilians, all the Drakemen warrior allies, the chief, everyone. That day that their lives were lost, Wyvern's pass mourned. About a week or two after the revolt, a mass burial was held. One where all the residents gathered; family members of the deceased, friends, and so on, all came together to mourn their loss.The Drakemen did burials differently. They don't come in with black suits and umbrellas to cry at the death of their people.They believed in something else. The legend of the mighty mother dragon. The great mother dragon took souls and guided them for reincarnation.Without offering them to her, their souls would be lost, and they might never get reincarnated. But to catch the great mother dragon's attention, you must offer a pillar of smoke.The smoke was not only a signal to the mother dragon, but also as a means for the souls to ride into the tempor
Jake, Annie, Ralph, Williams, Henry, Ruby, Crystal, and every other person that once left for the mission to find Earl had spent the past three months roughly the same.None of the details of the other teams endeavoured were known to the students, they only knew that they remained in the forest.They went on to hunt down and defeat various members of the ORA. Knowing that Sidney and Earl were alive didn't quell their anger, it instead added as motivation to defeat the ORA.Improving their skills, sharpening their moves, and growing stronger and stronger, all of the students grew far beyond what anyone expected.However, with the fated day they were meant to meet with their long lost friends fast approaching, they all returned back to the school and prepared.They'd cleared out the forest closest to the school of all the ORA bases they could find, now all they needed to do was return there and pick them up.Early in the morning, there they were. Janet, Suzuki, Crystal, Alice, Ralph, A
Waiting for them at the doors to Wallace's academy was everyone. All their other classmates, all the other teachers, all the second years, all other staff, and of course Horace himself were gathered at the gate for the return of Sidney and Earl.It was as emotional as they thought it'd be. The classmates nearly piled on the two of them, throwing questions at them as they cried over their return.Everyone was glad that the prodigal sons had returned. Horace had the softest expression anyone had ever seen the moment he laid eyes on Sidney and Earl.He had bags under his eyes. Not the kind you get from crying—Everyone thought it impossible for a man of his caliber to cry—it was one you'd get from sleepless nights.Earl and Sidney would later come to know—From Leon Glenn, Sidney's older brother, while he was drenched in tears for his younger brother's return—that Horace had been working the hardest.He'd been not only personally training all the first years for the entirety that the other
Outside in the training grounds was Horace. He had in front of him all the students that chased after Earl and Sidney, as well as the two aforementioned boys.Standing outside, alongside him were Charlie, Mr Stevens, Mr Adams, Miss Edna, and Miss Kayla.All of them had gathered them for one purpose and one purpose alone, a purpose that would be told directly to all of them by Horace himself."I'm sorry that I gathered all of you on such short notice," Horace began, "I wish I could let you all rest even more, but there's some pressing matters we have to attend to first.""As you all know," he continued, "it's been months since any of you have been back here, as you all were either sent on a secret mission to save Earl and Sidney, or you were the ones being saved.""First of all, I'd like to thank all of you deeply. It is a stain on my name as Horace Glenn and title as Legendary rank alchemist, for me to allow two of my students to be kidnapped from the premises of this school," he lowe
