"Mate, You finally woke up. You have been sleeping like a proper rug."
A young man, while rubbing his eyes, " It's not 'Mate'. It's Blade Emperor." Without looking back, Cart driver, " Yeah, yeah, Whatever. Stop pretending to be the famous Blade Emperor. He's a chubby young fella. I saw him myself in Last Year's World Tournament."
Blade Emperor, "Ughhhh"
Cart driver, "Why are you heading towards Titan Town?" "What do you think?" "You can't be thinking of participating in the Colosseum with that average body of yours. Hell, You can barely walk with those three weapon's on your back, Mate."
Blade Emperor rolled his eyes, "Just keep driving and again, it's Blade Emperor." Cart driver, "Yeah, yeah, Whatever. You and your fancy names. So, Why are you entering the tournament,Mate? For the Money? For Fame? For glory?"
"...."
"Oh, giving me the silent treatment, eh? Well, two can play at that game, Mate."
The Blade Emperor was not shy to talk. Rather he was very friendly. A lot was going through his mind which resulted in him being Silent.
Blade Emperor silently gazes out the little window of the cart and keeps thinking to himself, "That dream again. It has been repeating itself occasionally since I gained the Eyes of Destiny."
Almost at the end of his wits, Cart driver, "Would you talk to me, Mate? It's driving me nuts. All the travellers that have riden with me, your the least that talked to me. You hire me and immediately fell asleep on the cart, Mate"
Blade let out a sign, " Well, I'm talking now. What do you want to talk about?" Cart driver, "Hehe, got a girlfriend,Mate?"
"Seriously?"
"What,Mate?"
"Argh. Forget it."
"Well, I'll take that as a No. So, Your here to get a girlfriend, Mate?"
Blade pointed his lance at the Cart driver and replied, "Keep talking and I'll...."
Cart driver interrupted with a grin, "You'll what? Poke me with that stick,Mate?"
"It's not a stick, its a lance."
"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Lance, stick, they're all the same to me, Mate"
"Stop the cart. I'll go there walking."
Cart driver, "Whoa,whoa, whoa, hold your horses. We are already here, Mate." Blade Emperor with a relieved face, "Finally, Peace at last.Here is your fare" Cart driver, "Here is your change. Have a good day, Mate"
Blade Emperor thinking to himself, "Gotta hurry. If I'm not quick, it will be troublesome" Blade Emperor put his hood up and as he was going into the town, he heard the cart driver shouting, he looked back.....
Cart driver frantically shouted, "GOODLUCK FINDING A GIRLFRIEND, MATE."
Blade Emperor blushed and quickly stepped into the town to avoid attention.
Blade Emperor has made his way into Sierra Kingdom's Titan Town. This town was named "Titan Town " as it was made by a group of skilled titans. Titan Town is famous for its Colosseum Tournament where different warriors of various races come to fight to prove their might and take the prize that the Colosseum offers to its winner.
Blade Emperor looked around the town. The Architecture of the town was simply beautiful. There was a fountain in the middle of the town where different soloist were singing. All building were made of bricks except for the Noble's houses. Titan town is blessed by nature. There is a river of fresh water flowing beside the town where abundant fish can be found. The land is also filled by various grenery and fruit trees.
Blade Emperor went onto the map and was intently looking at it. As his eyes laid upon "Titan Prison" he became estatic, "Yes, The info I received is true"
Titan Prison was at the north end of town. It was heavily guarded. Barriers upon barriers surrounded it. Automated Fireguns where set atop of the large prison wall. A magic surveillance system was also integrated with its defenses so that no prisoners could escape or no one coild break in.
[According to the info I received, Arthur was taken here last night. So, he still hasn't been transfered yet. Its still early in the morning. The prison's defences might be low now. If I hurry, I can make it in time.]
Blade Emperor started to run towards the north.On the way, he saw little kids playing with some action figures. He stopped momentarily to watch.
The 1st kid had an action figure of a buff,muscular man who was wearing a pair of beautiful Gauntlets. The 2nd Kid had the action figure of man who was slender, thin and averagely build body. That man used a Blazing katana. The 3rd kid had an action figure of a woman in a Purple Mecha-suit with hovering blasters behind her back.
1st kid, holding up his action figure, "I, Arthur Fistworth, shall crush anyone in my path." 2nd kid, "I, Hakumo Redsteel, shall slice my enemies and burn their flesh." 3rd kid, "I, Sheena Lockheart, shall blast away those who try to harm my comrades."
Blade Emperor, with affection in his eyes, gently smiled at this. He again set off to the north.
Finally, Blade Emperor had reached Titan Prison. Two Guards stand at the gate. They come forward, "Who goes there?"
Acting like a tourist who had lost their way, "Oh, Where have I stumbled myself upon? This isn't the Colosseum?"
One of the guards yelled, "The Colosseum is right at the entrance of the town. Are you blind to have come this far north of town without seeing the Colosseum?"
While in the Surveillance room of the prison, Guard, while looking at a magical screen, "Somebody run a check on the guy who just arrived at the front gate"
"Yes, sir" Someone replied.
"Cheif Carcus, here is what you ordered"
A magical screen popped up infront of Chief Carcus. Upon seeing the screen, his eyes widened. The magical screen was the status screen of Blade Emperor. It read as follows:

With fear in his voice, "That low level of 55, bunch of blade skills, and the Title Blade Emperor...He is definitely the one.How did he become so thin? Everyone, go into full assault and reinforce our defenses. Blade Emperor is infront of our gates. He cannot be permitted to enter this prison"
While infront of the gates, one of the guards received a magical radio trasmission, "Infront of you is the Blade Emperor. He must not get into the prison."
Blade Emperor looked at the guard who had just received the radio transmission and sighed, "And here I was thinking of how to solve things peacefully."
The other Guard panicked and shouted, "Shoot him" He pulled the trigger on the magic powered machine gun he was holding.
[Long sword skill: Ascension]
As the bullet was reaching Blade Emperor's chest in slow motion, he disappeared into thin air. He again appeared behind the one who pulled the trigger and gave him a blow with the dull edge of the long sword.
*Pow*
The Guard landed a few meters away from Blade Emperor. Blade Emperor looked fiercely at the other guard. The guard instantly dropped his gun and surrendered.
Pointing his long sword to the guard, "How many barriers are there?"
"3" the guard answered fearfully.
Blade Emperor sheated his long sword and pulled out his buster blade from his back. His eyes shimmered blue while his body radiated a red aura.
[Buster Blade Skill: Exploding Burst]
*Boom*
The three barriers along with the wall broke down and so did the alarms call out. Blade Emperor rushed in. Cheif Carcus wildly said, "Damn it, he got in. Send in the remaining 2 Ellite units to stop Blade Emperor."
"Yes,sir"
"If those two can't stop him then no one can." Chief Carcus thought inwardly to himself.
The Ellite units are individual soldiers who were trained, given enchanted items and power boosting drugs to bring out their maximum potential.
Blade Emperor was running across the hall ignoring all the gun fire until he was intercepted by 2 men in soldier dresses.

"Just my luck" Blade Emperor sighned.
Osus roared, "Akin, back me up" as Osus dashed forward. Following behind him, Akin also dashed and jumped locking on Blade Emperor and shooting out from his blasters.
[Brutal Blast]
[Pulse wave]
From the above, a blast was coming at him, and from the front, a wave of energy was forwarding. Blade Emperor gripped his Buster Blade tightly, "I don't have time for this crap"
[Buster Blade skill: Exploding Burst]
*Boom*
Both the wave and the blast were smashed by Exploding Burst and both the Ellite units were covered in a bright flare. The next moment, only the bodies of the Ellite units remain unconsious while sll their equipments shattered.
*Sigh* "It's never easy"
Infront of Blade Emperor, there were rubbles, broken desk, cracked floor, pieces of equipments scattered around and a door.
Blade Emperor Kicked open the door and placed his buster sword on his shoulder, gripping it tighy by its handle. He then sensed a familiar aura behind the smoke that was blurring his vision.
Blade Emperor, scratching the back of his head and smiling broadly, "Sorry, buddy, for being late. A lot has been happening in my life."
Arthur, excited like a child who was going to buy a bar of chocolate, "Now, That's an entry!"
Blade Emperor swiftly moved his long sword cutting the shackles on Arthur thus freeing him. Arthur came close to Blade Emperor and hugged him tightly.
"Whoa, big buddy. Why so emotional?"
With teary eyes, "I missed you so much, Blade. I thought you left us behind"
"I would never do that. We'll chat later. Lets get out of here first."
Wiping off the tears of his eyes, Arthur got into a jumping postion and together with Blade Emperor,
*Hiyaaaaaaa* They jump out of Titan Prison and make a run for it.
As Blade was running forward with Arthur only lagging a meter behind, Arthur looked at Blade's face seeing his excited broad smile similar to the one you see on the faces of slum children who are rolling an empty tire as they run behind it without a care in the world.
This is the story of Blade Emperor. The one who became a legend both in his time and the time yet to come. The one who stood at the pinnacle of strength. The one who touched the Heavens and the one to conqure the world. I, Arthur Fistworth, am his friend and I will spread his legacy.
