"A Primal Dark Lord?" questioned Ryuma.
"What this? a Human?" questioned Darkula.
"I don't like this," said Masao. he raised his spear at Darkula.
"Wait you look familiar you look like that Ryuken…ah his son," said Darkula. They watch Darkula disappear.
"Where did he go?" asked Ryuma with his weapons ready.
"Where indeed," said Darkula in Ryuma's left ear without him knowing he was there. Ryuma goes for a slash with his left sword. Darkula back flips to dodge it.
"Well, it seems you were surprised by that," said Darkula.
"Darkula, kill them," said Kurai.
"Very well, My Lord," said Darkula who takes his hands and uses magic to create red transparent swords.
"Get ready," said Masao.
"Let's have some fun shall we," said Darkula who lunges at them, slashing at both Ryuma and Masao. Masao goes for a slash but he then sees a Red transparent chain around his neck and yanks him back and chokes him. Ryuma slashes the chain to free Masao. Darkula slashes at Ryuma and clashes with him.
"I have to say you have a good battle sense with you," said Darkula.
"Yeah, what about it?" asked Ryuma parrying him off.
"You should join us in The Dark. I can tell you have even more power than your father," said Darkula.
"No thanks. you guys killed my father and my mother," said Ryuma.
"I can tell you and your father are the same," said Darkula. "He didn't want to be one of us either we just have to infect you,"
"It will not work, Darkula. This boy can cure the Dark Sickness," said Kurai.
"Oh, so there is more to you. So much for that then. but I am interested," said Darkula. Masao gets in front of Ryuma.
"He can't take both of us," said Masao.
"I'm sorry, but I think I've seen enough, for now, my new young friends. I will see you again, very soon," said Darkula. A dark portal opens behind them and Darkula pushes both Ryuma and Masao with telekinesis and it closes.
"You let them live Darkula, why?" asked Kurai.
"Do not worry about them, my liege. I only chose to destroy them when the time comes. But you seem to be gravely injured it might take some time for you to fully recover," said Darkula who approaches him.
"Yes, I underestimated them and they got the best of me I need time to heal my wounds but this will take me out of our war with the Wizards," said Kurai.
"Then leave it to us," said Darkula. Kurai watches more people come from the stairs all in black clocks enter the throne room.
"You all are here are you?" asked Kurai.
"Yes, we your Dark Exiles," said Darkula.
Ryuma and Masao appear out of the portal on the campus of the Kyoto Wizard Academy.
"Damn it," said Masao. "we were so close,"
"Things may have gotten worse for us," said Ryuma.
Weeks go by and summer break would start. Kenzo is allowing students to come back after the summer break so they can build up their army for the upcoming war against the Dark.
Ryuma and Lucas were walking to their new dorm room to start the next term in their school uniforms.
"Here we are," said Ryuma. They open the door and they see Masao in their new room in a school uniform.
"Tendo," said Masao.
"Masao, why are you doing here?" asked Ryuma.
"I could answer that," said Kenzo who now has a leather eyepatch over his left eye who was behind him.
"He said I should get stronger by going to school here," said Masao.
"Yeah, we never know when Kurai or this Darkula guy will show up," said Kenzo. "Plus, it might be a good idea to show the other a real dark one,"
"I already hate this idea," said Masao.
"yeah, no sane person would like to be a zoo attraction now," said Ryuma.
"Well, I guess we are sharing a room with him," said Lucas.
"Great and here I thought you would be too much for me as well. now he is here this might be worse than before," thinks Ryuma.
"Now about training it might be more intense now, but that's only because we need to get ready for the next time when the Dark strikes," said Kenzo.
"It is unknown what these Primal Dark Lords are capable of," said Masao.
"Yeah, whatever Kurai and Darkula have planned we be ready for it," said Ryuma.
"That the spirit. how about we start right away then," said Kenzo.
"But we just go here?" questioned Ryuma.
"Okay meet me in the training yard in an hour we can start with a light workout then," said Kenzo eager to start.
