The competition was held inside the palace where in there are many competitors from different factions that are highly known for their skills that are incomparable even to those in different kingdoms. There are 10 participants for the tournament, and first one is from the Mercury faction that holds the blessing of the God of travel and is represented by Alexandro, second is the Venus faction that holds the blessing of the God of beauty and is represented by Selene, third representative is Damianos from the Mars faction and have the blessing of the God of War, fourth representative is Zoe from the Jupiter faction that holds the blessing of king of roman Gods, fifth representative was Trisha from the Saturn faction that holds the blessing of the God of agricultural, sixth representative was Zephyr from the Uranus faction that holds the blessing of Greek king of the Gods, seventh representative was Derek from the Neptune faction and holds the blessing of the God of the sea, eight representative was Caesar from the Pluto faction and holds the blessing of the God of underworld, ninth was Prohymus and don't have any faction, lastly was Rave and presented his last faction, and that is the S.T.G. People were murmuring such things against Rave faction for they don't know a bit of idea where is that, and Prohymus who was the mysterious man, Rave were able to get his attention and is being focused by him already. So the battle begins between the faction of Venus versus the faction of Jupiter, and it was the victory of the faction of Venus. Next battle was between the Saturn faction versus the Neptune faction, and it was a sweep clean victory without struggles from the Neptune faction. Next battle was by Prohymus versus the Uranus faction, and Prohymus sweeps Zephyr in a split of second without being able to hit Prohymus not even a bit. Next battle was conceded by the Mercury faction and Pluto faction, and with a incredible power held by Caesar that sweep easily Alexandro. The last battle is between Rave and from the Mars faction that gives a different battle ending that made Damianos kneel down to him without even starting the fight, and forfeited the fight that makes Rave the winner already. People were astonished by the scenario that was done by Rave, and Prohymus was getting a tense as he was looking at him. The remaining warriors are Prohymus, Selene, Caesar, Derek, and Rave. As they were resting for the next match Prohymus followed Rave.

Prohymus: Wait sir Rave i have question for you.

Rave: Prohymus, was it? Yes what is it?

Prohymus: What happened to S.T.G faction? I believe all of them were eliminated?

Rave: Someone from the higher state is concerned of trash collectors? How kind of you

Prohymus: Yes, i was part of that faction as well, i used to know a person named Cipher

Rave: Oh, him.. You wish to know his place right now?

Prohymus: If that is fine with you

Rave: Just what is your intention of joining this tournament anyways?

Prohymus: It's to see the past of what happened in S.T.G and if i could change it through the help of the princess

Rave: How kind of you to help the trash faction

Prohymus: Yes, Cipher helped me back then when i was in a state of nothingness. You see he adopted me when all of my faction was killed, and i was in the faction of shadow where the lowest of low of my kind assassins, thieves, and murderer are in their as they were being slaughtered Cipher run away with me, and save me from being killed.

Rave: Are you not angry of what happened to them?

Prohymus: Well kind of, but to the point that all their deeds are for money then i'm happy they were killed. Cipher taught me things in his faction that you don't need to kill someone just to be saved.

Rave: Hmmm.. what if its the only left for you to do?

Prohymus: Then i'll obliterate everyone

Rave: You don't need to do that, i just need to win this tournament and save that princess and i'll end the suffering of everyone

Prohymus: Prove it right in front of me! If you can show me something then i will forfeit the match.

Rave release the primo form that made Prohymus chill his bone, and made him think why the candidate for Mars faction were able to kneel down, and surrendered without fighting.

Prohymus: Fine you convinced me to forfeit this match, i will go to Cipher and help him in return for his kindness.

Rave: His near the royalty kingdom at the bottom cliff where he have his little utopia there.

Prohymus: Promise me you will win this tournament, and save everyone *bumps his fist into Rave's heart* You need to win no matter what!

Rave: You have my word.

And so as the match was about to announce Prohymus call it a quit for his side, and made a quick decision to the crowd that made them question if it was for bribery. The issue was forgotten in an instant and they proceed to the matches. First match Derek versus Caesar, but a another sweep victory from the hollow man itself from the Pluto faction. Next match was Selene versus Rave.

Rave: I can't fight a woman

Selene: Don't you ever underestimate me just because i'm a woman

Rave: I can't hurt someone that is beautiful as you

Selene: *blush* Silence! Flattery wont get you nowhere!

Rave: Okay, then let's just end this battle.

Selene could not hit him with her spells, and charms because of Rave's sixth sense given to him by the kings.

Selene: Now you're making me pissed! I will use my ace power to you though i'm keeping it as a secret

Rave then hurriedly stopped her for it was a destructive spell that may destroy the whole palace, and he let his presence of Primo use to make her kneel, but instead Rave carried her like a princess.

Rave: You don't need to continue this fight, and hurt these innocent people

Selene: *blush* Okay...

Selene surredered the match, and declare Rave as the winner.

Selene: Hey, you're really strong, but what i notice that you were really kind.

Rave: It was for a good cause, anyway i must prepare for i will face the Pluto faction in the finals.

Selene was still in shock, while Rave was walking away from her. It was not a fear that she felt, but it was love as he looked into her eyes, and she felt safe around him. After the match and having a little time to rest it was time finally for the two finalist to battle. Rave versus Caesar, fighting for the last throne of shot against the prince of royalty Lux. As Rave was about to go the arena Lux confronted him.

Lux: Very well you made it this far

Rave: Just concede defeat also so that it will not be hard for you

Lux: You were only lucky last time, Rave!

Rave: Well see that when we get our turn

Rave proceed to the arena and was ready to fight Caesar.

Caesar: Twice of the participant have surrendered, without you fighting them.

Rave: Well maybe i was just lucky

Announcer: Here we are with the last contender for the seat of challenging the king of Royalty!

Caesar: I will let you use of that fist within me

As they were fighting Rave did not even used his fist nor feet to battle against Caesar, and Caesar casted a spell against him.

Caesar: Heaven's fall!

Caesar tilted the stadium little by little. But Rave was calm as a water as he knew what to do at that situation.

Caesar: Open your arms and fight me coward! You can't call it fighting without raising those damn fists!

Everything is almost tilting but Rave remained calm and focused on his feet, while having a closed eyes. He was using his sixth sense to kill the vibration beneath him, and as he was ready, he looked upon Caesar.

Caesar: Ah you bastard! That's why you're winning... You special bastard....

Caesar raised his hand, and it was a form of showing a surrender. The other two who faced against Rave still feels the chill, but not the fear goes to Selene. As Rave was walking away from the stadium, Caesar chase him and asked something.

Caesar: Why would a S.T.G have a guy like you?

Rave: Is it bad to have someone like me?

Caesar: It's unfair, so unfair i always remained second place even as last year because of that same aura.

Rave: Same aura?

Caesar: Yes, you have the same aura as the champion right now. Lux beat me with that look also that i couldn't even walk or talk for days.

Rave: Hmm... well see about that

Rave walks away towards the room to have some rest, but as he was about to go to the room Lux was already at the front door, and clapped at him.

Lux: Very well indeed Rave. As expected from the lost king.

Rave: Can you let me rest at least, i'm tired.

Lux: Okay, go ahead and enjoy your rest before i destroy you tomorrow same goes for your trash faction

Rave: Oh you will be trash tomorrow also *clench fist*

Rave steady still to have a rest for a tomorrow's match. As he was sleeping he saw a man in golden cape same feature as him and he called that man and faced him, but it was not Narkus nor Arthur either it was a different man leaving him behind with a presence of what is the standard of a strong man.
