Nebula and I went over to the next kingdom recommended by Inoka. We went to the Kingdom of Rivule. We were also given a map of the country so traversing the different pathways became a lot easier. I pulled on the leash of the saddle and Nebula stopped. We noticed we were surrounded by water.
"Mmm...The Kingdom is up there. Above that waterfall, but we can't get there." I said then got off Nebula. I rubbed her mane then walked ahead.
I sensed multiple creatures and noticed multiple water knights with Dark Crests emerge from the water. They looked at me and summoned their weapons. Nebula neighed and retreated from the area. I unsheathed my blade from the scabbard and the Crest of Arcane shined on my hand.
"Do you like my gift..?" A man said then appeared from the water and looked at me. His Dark Crest shined and he chuckled.
The male had water like flowing white hair, gray skin, gold eyes and a scar on his right eye. He wore armor made from pure water and his sword shined brightly.
"Hmph. Are you here to stop me from entering Rivule? If so, you have zero chance against me." I smirked and got in my original stance.
The male glared at me then pointed his sword at me then his forces rushed after me. I stood my ground then parried and blocked their attacks one by one. I dodged a few jabs of their lances and some slices of their swords. I bellowed and slashed in a circle, taking them out in one blow.
"Hmph. Those were just pawns...Don't get too in your head or else you'll be in a world of trouble!" The male jumped into the air and I looked up and he was nowhere to be found.
I sensed an attack from above then dodged it and noticed the man on one knee. I watched him stand then got in my stance once again. "What is your name, Aquaman..?"
"I see you've got jokes. You're more annoying in person. The people from Atren call me Rayne. That's what you can call me as well, remember it well because that's the name you'll be saying to your parents in Hell." Rayne laughed and dashed to me.
I blocked his attack then pushed him back and slashed multiple times. We clashed each time then I dodged his attack and kicked him away. He rolled on his side then avoided flame spikes from above. He stood up and backflipped then landed on the water. He stood on water and pointed his sword at me. Two water serpents emerged from the water and they rushed at me.
Nebula neighed as she galloped to me with a woman on her back and released beams of destruction at the serpents. The serpents were hit and dispersed.
"March to my beat." The woman said then began to play her instrument.
I looked back and jumped up and avoided the waves of destructive water. Rayne tried to absorb the waves then the woman strummed her shamisen instrument then a large dragon head made of water appeared under Rayne then chomped on him then exploded, blowing Rayne away. He groaned loudly and rebounded off the water and panted.
"Hmph...I'll be back.." Rayne said then merged with the water and disappeared.
I descended to the ground and looked at the woman. She had long flowing blue hair with white highlights, beautiful blue eyes and clear skin. She wore a battledress that was made from water and held her shamisen in her hands.
"You're lucky Nebula found me otherwise you'd be stuck doing no damage to him." The woman said.
"Pfft...Whatever. I could've taken him down with my Emperor's Impact supported by Willbreaker and the Dagrax Stance." I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah whatever." The woman smiled and got off Nebula then walked to me. "You still don't like me do you?"
Nebula looked at us and knew that me and the woman knew each other.
"You left Yesha after we started to hit things off. You're more of wanderer than me and now look at you, in Rivule." I said.
"Queen of Rivule. I struck down the King with my legendary blade, Neptune. Wasn't an easy fight since he had better water control than me, but I got the job done and now Rivule marches to my beat." The woman smiled. "But let's start over, My Emperor. My name is Tsuna."
"Hello Tsuna, I am the man who's going to marry you." I said then she blushed and smirked.
"Oh?~ Well I'll let you marry me under one condition.." She walked to me and put her hand on my chest.
"What is that condition..?" I asked.
"If you can make it to that Kingdom by tonight...I'll let you marry me...If not, you get nothing and you'll have to be stuck here until a few days pass when I stop the waterfall and reveal the path to the kingdom for my upcoming event I am hosting myself. Think you're up for the challenge?" Tsuna asked.
"You know I love competing with you...but this time, I'll be the one laughing." I said then pushed her head away with my index finger.
She chuckled and looked at me. "Good luck." She ran then ran to the water and jumped in. She merged with the water and vanished.
I looked at the waterfall and my eyes shined. "Nebula. Let's do this."
Nebula neighed and got on her hind legs. I hopped on her back then clicked my teeth and Nebula took a few steps back. She galloped forward in great speeds and her aura appeared around her body. Her aura manifested wings to make her look like a pegasus. She flapped her wings and began to fly in the air. She soared in the air towards the Kingdom then multiple water serpents appeared in the air from the water.
"Of course she wouldn't make this easy." I said then my sword shined and transformed into its Willbreaker Form.
Nebula neighed and rushed into battle. She dodged the water beams from the serpents and her aura manifested a horn on her head then she sent destructive beams at the serpents. I slashed at the serpents on Nebula's sides, releasing cutting waves from my sword.
"Fly in a circle!" I said then Nebula began to fly in a circle. I slashed as Nebula flew in a circle, hitting all of the serpents. Nebula stopped and noticed the Serpents were gone then flew to the Kingdom.
"You're honestly better than I expected, My Emperor. You've still got it." Tsuna said then emerged out the water on the back of a giant water dragon.
The water dragon was white and had four wings. Her eyes shined a light blue and the Crest of Waves shined on her forehead. I knew from the looks of the dragon, this was the Legendary Beast, Rivule.
"Face me in battle, let's see how far you've come with Arcane!" Tsuna said then summoned her sword.
I smirked and looked at Tsuna. "You know you're going to lose right? You've never beat me in battle and you never will."
"Let's see then!" Tsuna jumped off Rivule's back then began to descend to the white circular battlefield.
I jumped off Nebula's back then descended to the battlefield as well. I landed on one knee and smirked. Her Crest of Neptune shined and she looked at me. I stood up and got in the Dagrax Stance. She got in her own stance then dashed to me. I dashed to her and we both slashed at each other. We clashed and entered a blade lock.
"Heh...I had to fight you the moment I heard you were coming to my kingdom. Allow me to show you a true queen's power. No other Queen can compare." Tsuna said then pushed me back and sent five water beams at me.
I summoned a barrier around myself, blocking the water beams then vanished and appeared in front of her then my eyes shined as I slashed downward. She dodged the slash and grabbed onto my arm then spun herself around my body then got me on the ground and sat on top of me. She grabbed my kimono and pinned me down.
"You don't understand how much I've missed you." Tsuna smiled and looked at me.
"I'm glad our feelings at mutual." I said and set a water beam at her face.
She grunted loudly and fell back. I kicked her off me then tossed my sword in the sky. I did multiple hand signs then slammed my hand in the ground then a wall of water surrounded me.
"Don't forget that this is still a Royal Battle, My Queen." I smirked then stood up and caught my sword. "Shining Waves!"
I slammed my sword into the ground and the wall of waters expanded and began to push Tsuna back. She grunted and put her hands on the wall of water. I slashed in a circle then cut the wall in half and hit Tsuna in the process. She groaned as she was sent flying. Rivule flew towards Tsuna, but Nebula blasted her away with a beam of light.
"Arcane!" I bellowed then my aura surged and the Crest of Arcane shined brightly. An aura crown appeared on my head then my aura turned golden. "Supreme Emperor's Impact!"
I dashed towards her as she was falling. I spun around and slashed at her and hit her then slashed left then right and jumped up, slashing down and caused her to crash on the battlefield. I landed on the battlefield then looked back and noticed Tsuna get up and the Crest of Waves shined on her hand. She smirked and chuckled.
"Rivule vs Arcane huh...The Guardian of Waters against the Hero of All...I've always dreamt of this moment!" Tsuna bellowed and her aura surged powerfully. "It's nice to see your Emperor's Form once again instead of that dumb Chaos Form."
I chuckled and looked at her then got in my original stance. "You've still got some fight left in you. I love when my women play hard. I'll have you marching to my beat after this battle. Now let's dance."
Tsuna smirked then dashed to me and I dashed to her. We clashed multiple times and some of the people from the Kingdom watched the battle take place. Tsuna parried my attack then summoned a water shield and hit me with a shield bash, knocking me back. I grunted and slid back then noticed her running to me.
"Let's do this Arcane!" I said then stomped my foot down.
"Neptune!" Tsuna bellowed and jumped in the air. "Ultimate Arts!"
"Ultimate Arts." I said.
"Pure Heavenly Rainfall!" She bellowed and flew down to me.
"Final Glory!" I said then slashed downward.
She grunted then blocked my blade and began to crash to the ground. "What is this..?!"
I bellowed and the blade of my sword shined golden. My eyes emitted golden aura and I completely slashed down and my sword caused an eruption of golden aura on Tsuna. She yelled and everyone covered their eyes. The light dimmed and Tsuna was on the ground and her aura vanished. I panted and turned to my normal form then fell to my knees and fell to my side. Rivule and Nebula looked at us in shock then flew to us. We both were out cold and the battle ended in a draw even though Tsuna was the first to fall.
