A day later....
Candy woke up on a bed and held her head, grunting softly. She sat up and looked around. Her eyes averted to the movement of a door opening. I peeked my head inside and saw that she was awake.
"Oh, you're awake." I said and looked at her. I walked inside the room and towards her bed. "How are you feeling?"
"I could be better...but I can't complain." Candy replied with a smile.
I nodded and placed my hands in my jacket pockets then looked away. Candy looked at me and turned her body to sit on the edge of the bed. There was a bit of silence between us. The only sound coming from the room was the fan that was plugged in the wall.
"So why did you save me on that day..? You didn't want anything to do with me.." Candy asked, wanting to break the silence.
"I don't know why I decided to save you...It was pure instincts." I answered.
"Really?" Candy looked at me.
"No..that's not the reason. It's because I-" I paused for a bit. I didn't know if I should tell her that I knew her from the past or not. I decided to not tell her. "I saved you because it felt right..Nothing more...nothing less."
"Oh...I mean I still appreciate it. I don't even know if I would even be alive if you hadn't come for my aid." Candy looked down and smiled sadly. "Not many people would do that."
"Really?" I asked.
"Yeah.." Candy nodded.
Once again there was silence between us. It wasn't awkward, it was just we didn't know what to talk about. I scratched the back of my head and closed my eyes.
"If you want, I can show you where I train. My entire base is underground so the training area is huge." I said.
"Really? Let's see it then!" Candy stood up happily.
I looked at her surprised by her sudden burst of energy. She smiled happily at me then I shrugged and lead her to my training area. We entered the training area and Candy looked around. There was an open battlefield and a woman standing by the gate.
"Sir! You've come back! Are you here to do some training?" The woman asked.
I looked at Candy and she looked at me. I looked back at the woman and nodded then walked passed the gates. Candy followed and the woman pressed a button and the gates closed.
"In here I take my training seriously. I don't hold back. The enemies...Our enemies only grow stronger. They only become better and smarter." I said then had a flashback about my past. "Smarter and smarter...they fight harder and harder until they are perfect."
Candy looked at me and nodded then I looked at her. The woman watched us and took down some notes. Candy and I looked at each other and prepared for our bout.
"Do not hold back." I said and got in a fighting stance.
"Alright." Candy nodded and smiled, getting into her fighting stance.
Before the training bout could start, the alarms blared and the lights were flashing red.
"A l e r t ! A l e r t ! S t r o n g d a r k e n e r g i e s d i r e c t l y a b o v e u s ! P r o p o s a l : e l i m i n a t e t h r e a t i m m e d i a t e l y !" Plexi said.
"What? Dark energies..? Plexi, you said they were directly above us?" Candy asked.
"A f f i r m a t i v e ." Plexi answered and showed us a map with two red dots directly over us.
I looked at the map and placed my hands in my jacket pocket so then glared a bit. Candy looked at me worried then an explosion sounded above us.
"Let's hurry above ground and see what the danger is." I said.
"Yeah." Candy nodded in response.
We both ran out of the training grounds and ran up the stairs then out the base. I looked in the sky and saw two figures above us. They had dark aura surging around their bodies and my left eye sparked. One of them shot a huge red laser at us. I grabbed Candy's arm and pulled her to me then dodged the laser.
"Who the hell are they..?" I asked and squinted at them.
The two figures landed and my eyes widened out of realization. Candy looked surprised as well and looked at me. They both smirked at us and their eyes shined a blood red.
"We meet again...Hakai." Kuda said.
"Yes and how can I forget you, Candy?" Eve giggled.
"But how? I thought we killed them!" Candy said and looked at them.
"I did too..." I said and glared.
"Came pretty damn close to killing us. Eve nearly bled to death and I nearly met my end with your attack Hakai. If you don't know we have dragon blood inside of us. We were born in a country named Dragnor and we both are dragons!" Kuda said and looked at us.
"Tch.." I scoffed and summoned my sword. "Well this time...we will kill you."
Candy summoned her guns and got in a stance. Kuda focused on me and Eve focused on Candy. All four of us dashed to each other and clashed. Kuda pushed me back and kicked me away. I slid back and looked up. Kuda roared and slashed down with his sword. I threw a dark orb and swapped places with it and Kuda hit the dark orb. The dark orb exploded and I watched. I grunted as Kuda emerged from the smoke and grabbed my leg. I tried to kick him off but he flew to the ground at high speeds and slammed me on the ground. I groaned loudly and coughed then he raised me off the ground by my leg and slammed my back on the ground. I groaned loudly again then he threw me towards the building. I crashed into the building and fell to the ground.
"Hakai!!" Candy yelled and dashed towards my direction then Eve ran to her and punched her away. Candy groaned and rebounded off one hand and sprang into the air and Plexi flew over her and she grabbed upon Plexi. Plexi flew to the right quickly and helped Candy dodge Eve's next attack.
"Heh...you aren't getting to him before we do..but before we complete our task, I wanna have fun with this power." Eve smirked.
Eve roared and charged an energy blast and released it at Candy. Plexi transformed into a cannon and released his own energy blast and the two attacks clashed then released a repulsive force of energy. The two attacks caused an explosion and Candy covered her face from the debris. Eve appeared beside Candy and blew her away with a lariat attack. Candy groaned and rolled on her side and coughed.
"It's amazing on how powerful we are now!" Eve laughed. "We are unstoppable!"
"Keep telling yourself that..." I chuckled and stood up.
"Oh? You think you can defeat us? We tower over you now..your power can't even begin to match ours!" Kuda laughed.
"Really huh?" I chuckled and my left eye flashed the color red. "You don't even know half of my abilities...you don't understand the true extent of my power!"
I bellowed and my chaotic aura surged wildly. My left eye shined red and the Yaoke formed in my eye. Kuda and Eve were both shocked and watched me. Candy looked towards our direction and the marking on her right eye shined in response to my power.
"What the hell is this?!" Eve asked, sliding back due to my aura.
"His Chaos Mode.." Kuda grunted and guarded his face from the debris.
I tossed my jacket off and let it float in the wind. I hopped up and down then rolled my neck. I stretched and opened my eyes then looked at Kuda and Eve. I looked behind them and Candy looked at me. She nodded and she ran off. She ran up the wall of a building and Plexi turned into a sniper rifle and she got in position.
"You think you can win a two against one? You must be itching to die!" Kuda laughed and summoned his lance.
"Yeah, only fools challenge us without any help!" Eve said and summoned her sword.
I smirked and got in a stance then dashed towards Kuda and he jabbed his lance at me. I dodged the lance and grabbed his arm then threw him towards Eve. Eve looked shocked and caught Kuda. Kuda grunted and his eyes widened when I pressed a dark orb against them and it blew up. They both were sent flying into the air. They spread their wings and stopped in the air and looked at me.
"Plexi...Lock on to Hakai." Candy said.
"A r e y o u s u r e ?" Plexi asked.
{Plexi Learned The Feeling: Uncertainty}
"Yeah I'm sure.." Candy said and looked determined. "Follow his every move."
I snapped my fingers and multiple dark orbs appeared behind me. I dashed towards them and they flew towards me. I clashed with Kuda and Eve appeared beside me and went for a strike. I swapped places with a dark orb and it exploded.
"Eve!" Kuda bellowed and flew towards me and slashed but I swapped places with another dark orb and that orb exploded as well.
They both roared and flew towards me. Kuda slashed first and I dodged. Eve followed behind Kuda and went for a barrage of attacks. I dodged them all and backflipped sending two dark orbs at them. The orbs exploded and Kuda appeared from the smoke and tried to grab my face and grabbed a dark orb instead.
"Boom." I said and the orb exploded and caused Kuda to be blown away.
"Now!" Candy yelled and Plexi shot a bullet at me and I deflected the bullet towards Kuda and Eve. The bullet hit a dark orb and it blew up and set off all the other dark orbs. "Whoa.."
All the dark orbs blew up at once and I watched then Candy appeared beside me. I blinked then looked at the sky.
"Now you die!" Kuda bellowed and shot a huge energy blast at us. An explosion happened and Kuda smirked. "What?!"
The smoke cleared and there was a purple barrier around me and Candy.
"The Lunar Shield..blocks any and all magic attacks and powers the shield up." I said.
"Kuda. Let's use a physical attack! The Lunar Shield can't take Physical Attacks!" Eve said.
"Right!" Kuda nodded and flew down towards the shield and was about to strike it with Eve.
"Sun Shield.." I mumbled and a yellow barrier appeared around me and Candy. They hit the barrier and the barrier shined brightly. 'Sunset Burst!"
I said and the barrier exploded and released high amounts of fire magic and blew both Eve and Kuda away. They groaned loudly and fell to the ground, turning back to normal. I lowered my hand and looked at them. I heard a roar then Kuda and Eve vanished.
"It appears I underestimated him..." A male said and smirked. "Next time I'll be more prepared."
I sighed and turned normal then looked at Candy. She looked at me and smiled then Plexi flew around us. I walked off to pick up my jacket then put it on and placed my hands in the pockets.
"Ice cream?" I asked.
"Yeah!" Candy said happily and ran towards me to walk beside me.
"You're paying." I said.
"Huh?! No fair!" Candy puffed her cheeks.
"It is fair." I gave a smug grin and poked her chin.
"Hmph!' Candy pouted.
I chuckled and walked to the ice cream shop with Candy to celebrate our big victory. I ended up paying for the ice cream and we hung out while eating our frozen treat.
