Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

Then suddenly I woke up on my bed yelling, "WHAT'S GOING ON? WHERE AM I? Oh I'm on my bed…" Suddenly I hear multiple footsteps running over here then someone kicks the door down making a loud noise. BAM!! It was Lele, Erma, and Crystal. They all screamed, "WHAT HAPPENED? ARE YOU OKAY?" Then Eren came in and said, "we heard yelling and felt that your energy was depleting." Then I said, "I'm okay but Eren, what do you mean by you feeling my energy depleting?" Eren says, "when your energy is depleted it means that you are going overload." I replied, "what does overload mean?" Eren replied, " when a person overloads they could lead to death, cosument, or something uncontrollable. This is the basics of overload" I replied, " is it possible to go back to normal?" Eren replied, " well there is but it is rare, so rare it is almost mythic. But there is a name for those people we call those people Roku, they use the overload as a refill for their mana. Using the overload is used as greater power but in a short amount of time then the person will be near death." My eyes widened with shock because in my head I thought Yang was trying to kill me but if I overload then is it possible to go back to normal? I was asking a question to myself but I also don't know. Then I started getting even more curious like if anyone has a different power or People might have the same power. So I looked at Eren and said, "do some people have the same power?" He said, "Well of course some people have new powers that no one knows about and some have Ancient powers." Okay so people can have the same power, so I asked him another question. "Is my power ancient or new?" And Eren responded with a smile. "I don't know but right now it's time to train."

Narrator: while Maikeru gets ready for his next training let hop on to what the kingdom has been up to.

Meanwhile in the kingdom, King Ellington III, his wife Queen Isabella, and his son Prince Richard all relaxed on their thrones when someone knocked on their door. The king says, "come in." Three royal knights came in all beaten up from a fight with Eren and the prisoner. The king looked shocked and asked, "What happened? Did you get rid of that peasant?" One of the guards spoke nervously, "we got ambushed by a powerful foe and he stole the prisoner away from us." The king was shocked and said, "what happened to the other kid with the power of darkness?" The guard replied, "he is in the forest of no return." The king sighed and yelled, "SEND THREE OF MY FINEST ASSASSINS AND KILL THE ONES RESPONSIBLE FOR RESCUING THE PRISONER!" All the guards stood up and said, "yes your majesty." And then they slowly walked away in pain.

When the guard talked to the king about their report about the three assassins, they were relaxing in their room. Their names were Despair, Night, and Creeper. Despair is the leader of the assassins. Everyone was bored and the Creeper spoke and said, "bruh… I'm so bor-," Despair then interrupted him. ''Shut up and just wait, we will have something to do later so just sit down and wait." 15 minutes later a guard burst through the door and yelled, "THE KING HAS AN ORDER FOR YOU! SOMEONE CAPTURED THE PRISONERS AND ESCAPED WITH THEM! THE KING WANTS ALL OF YOU TO GET THE PRISONERS BACK AND KILL THE PERSON WHO HOLDS THEM!" All of the assassins smiled and said, "copy that."

Back in the hideout where Eren, Ross, Lele, Crystal, and Erma were. Eren came up to me and said, "you need to work on your powers, so I'm going to take you to a mountain, the tallest mountain you'll ever see and you know that the tallest, the climax, the toughest it is to breathe." I was confused but I was determined to see this through cause I wanted to be strong enough to protect my friends. Eren smiled and said, "okay I'm going to teleport you." I was shocked and said, "hold on, you can use space magic?" He laughed and told me, "I can use space, dimension, and time magic hehe…" I was confused. I thought people only had one type of power so I asked, "how do you have three powers?" Eren smiled and looked into my eyes and said, "well the only way to get multiple powers is by taking them also my power is called absorb that is my true power name." I was shocked that there was a power that can steal other people's powers. I started getting frustrated that there is a power that can steal other people's powers and I bet they work so hard to make them good. That is not fair so I started yelling at him saying, "HOW MANY PEOPLE POWERS HAVE YOU TOOK? WHY IS THERE A POWER LIKE THAT? DO YOU THINK ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES WHEN YOU TAKE THEIR POWERS?" The lady was shocked that I'm complaining about his powers. I wanted to hear an explanation, Eren looked at me for a second and then started laughing and said, "calm down, even though my power is called absorb, I can give the people powers back but does it matter rather I take them or not let said there people who can use their power to kill what then?!" I looked at him but I couldn't say, Eren continued saying, "exactly you can't say nothing cause you know I'm right also something is strange with you, I can't take your power because there is a power that people are chosen to have and no one can take it." I was shocked that he couldn't take my powers, maybe it was because of Zedros (Yin) and Yang. So I asked, "I guess that was a possibility?" I was relieved that he can give people powers back because what if he takes my powers and I can't get them back, my life will be filled with pain and misery.

Narrator: After Eren explained about his real power all the commotion settled down. Now it is time for Maikeru to face his challenge up the mountain and hope he survives.

After 10 seconds of silence, Eren started talking saying, "all right now we have settled our miscommunication which was funny, now we can go back to your training Maikeru. " I was ready to get stronger because my goal is to destroy the kingdom and kill the king no matter what. Eren opened a portal and told me to get inside so I did and when I went through it became very very cold. I turned around to the portal and it was gone and I yelled, "EEERRRREEEEN!!!" Then a piece of paper fell out of my pocket and I was amazed that this outfit had pockets. Then I picked up the paper and it said, "the hideout is down the mountain and is only 10,000ft tall. P.S. this training should help you control your mana good luck also here a hint cover yourself in mana!" I'm going to hurt Eren when I get out of here alive. But first I have to cover myself with mana but I don't know how to do that. I don't know if this will work but I have to try. "Yo Zedros and Yang, are you guys there?" Zedros answered saying, "so you can talk to us, I'm impressed." I was happy that I could talk to them so I asked him a question. "Hey Zedros, how can I cover myself in mana?" And he replied saying, "well all you have to do is focus and concentrate and surround yourself with your power." So I did what he told me to concentrate and after a couple of minutes, I did it. I covered myself with mana. Now I don't feel cold anymore. I was so happy and lost concentration and I have to do it all over again. After hours and hours of walking, all my mana is starting to faint. I feel like I'm going to die. Then I remember how my family abandoned me, the king threw me out to die, and how the whole kingdom agreed. I will get my revenge, they will all feel my wrath. After all the walking, I see a bright light and I see Eren, Lele, Erma, and Crystal all waving at me. I was happy and started running to them. Then I lost focus and my whole body started hurting. It felt like my body could crash to death and it was getting harder to breathe and then I fell unconscious.

Narrator: As Maikeru fell unconscious and Eren picked him up, taking him back to the hideout. Now let's visit Lyon and what he is up to.

Meanwhile at the capital church, when the kingdom took Lyon too. Everyone praises Lyon because he has the power of the Angel of Light and every day he trains with different weapons so that he can use what is comfortable. So when he goes to battle he'll be safe. Lyon is fast and very smart. He already knows how to use mana control and he is always on top of his class. While Lyon looked through the weapons he spotted a bow he hadn't tried yet. He picked it up and felt a connection to it and said, "I think our lord and savior wants me to use this bow because it speaks to me." With no training and not understanding how to use it, he picked up the bow, pulled the arrow, and let go. Then BAM, he looked up and his eyes widened because he hit a bull's eye on his first attempt and he was 30 feet away. He started jumping and screaming saying, "I DID IT!! I DID IT!! THANK YOU OUR HEAVENLY FATHER!!" He grabbed two more arrows and aimed both of them at the same time and hit two more bullseyes then he became silent and he started thinking and saying, "what if I have no more arrows in battle? I have to know if my power can make a form of a bow because if I can cover myself with mana there is a chance I can do many more things with this power and when I do this nation will be unstoppable."

After a couple of minutes of thinking, Lyon sensed a familiar presence. He said, "I can sense you, you know and I think you just want me to know that you're here, am I right Sana or should I say, Commander Sana." Sana moves from behind the tree. She is 14 years old and has short light blue hair. She always has a serious look and people already know that she will be the new commander in the near future that is why people call her Commander Sana. She walked up to Lyon and said, "you know you don't have to be so formal with me, you should know that we're childhood friends." Lyon smiled while getting up. He ran to Sana then she kicked Lyon with so much force that he crashed into a wall. Lyon started laughing and said, "you still haven't lost your edge and you're still upset as ever." Sana giggled replying. "Well if you don't stop being a holy pervert then I won't hurt you." Lyon got up and dust himself off and walked toward Sana to ask a question. "What are you doing here this fine morning?" She replied saying, "I want to spare you with weapons of course." Lyon started laughing again saying, "why would I fight my childhood friend, especially my friend who is a girl?" Sana walked up to Lyon, jumped in the air and kicked him in the head. She looked down at him saying, "don't underestimate me, don't forget that I'm way stronger than you, think Lyon." She smirked at him and gave him a piece of paper telling him where to go.

Lyon got up and looked at the piece of paper, grinning knowing that this would be good training for him with a bow and understanding Sana's fighting style then he said something in a very low tone. "This will be fun." After a couple of minutes, Lyon arrived at the stadium. Lyon walked through the entrance seeing Sana practicing with a strange weapon also knowing that she was not pulling any punches. Lyon got very excited and ran to Sana trying to hug her but Sana punched him in the face putting him to the ground. Then he got up and said, "what was that for?" Rubbing his face where Sana punched him, she replied saying "it is not my fault that you're a pervert and it was also self-defense, I have to protect myself." Smiling right at Lyon. Lyon was still curious about Sana's weapon so he asked her and said, "Sana what are you sparing for? What type of weapon is that?" Sana replied, saying "these are Dual Cleavers just to let you know that I'm not pulling any punches and I will give everything I got also the reason we are going to spare is that the youth fighting tournament will be on its way next year and I want you to be ready too." Lyon and Sana got in their fighting positions and they both looked at each other knowing that this fight was going to be epic.

Everything went silent, all you can hear is the wind blowing. Then Sana took a deep breath then disappeared, Lyon sensed where she was and looked up in the air seeing her going for an axe kick. He dodged by pushing himself back, Sana's axe kick made contact with the ground. BOOM!! The ground shakes then Lyon aims his bow at Sana, pulls his arrow then lets it go. Sana moved the dust away from her face and saw an arrow coming right at her. She charged right at it and then sliced it in half. Lyon was shocked but he knew that he didn't want to lose right now so Lyon merged his power of light with the bow and arrows. The bow started to glow up and he picked up an arrow and that one started glowing too. He aimed at Sana. Sana knows what's coming and she smiled saying, "teleport." Sana disappeared from the ground and Lyon got confused about where she was going so he jumped in the air to have a clear view but he didn't see her anywhere then he heard Sana's voice saying, "I'm RIGHT BEHIND YOU LYON!!" He turned around then Sana swung her blade at Lyon and in a split second Lyon shot his glowing arrows at the blade and it made a huge explosion. Both of them fell to the ground. BAM!! Lyon and Sana were covered. They were cut and bruised because of the explosion but Lyon and Sana both got up knowing that they were not finished yet. Lyon grabbed three more arrows and made them glow again and he aimed them at Sana, she started charging at Lyon. Lyon shoots the glowing arrows. BAM!! BAM!! BAM!! Sana blocks the arrows and starts dancing with the Dual Cleavers, moving faster and stronger than Lyon. Hurry to pick up four more arrows and shoots knowing that he didn't put any power in it and Sana easily slices it clean in half then Lyon charges at Sana too but just holding a bow. He swings his bow at Sana and she slices through it and the blade is about to hit his neck. Sana stopped and said, "Time up and I win!" Lyon fell to his knees and said, "are you trying to kill me?" She said, "no but the battle was fun and intense, what did you do with the bow and arrows that made them glow? You have to practice on that to make them stronger." Lyon smiled and said, "okay I will but next time I will win." Sana smiled back and said, "I'll hold you up to that but right now I'm tired, I'm going back to my dorm to catch some Z's." Then Lyon went back to the Church and Sana went back to the Capital dorm.

Narrator: After an epic Friendly Argument between friends they both went back to their place. And let's go back to Maikeru and see what is going on in Maikeru Head.

Back to the hideout where I fell unconscious. Now I'm back to the place where it is half light and half dark. I'm not going to be happy that I came back here. Then I saw Yang get up from her throne and run towards me. I thought she was going to congratulate me on making it through the mountain alive, learning how to use mana control, but instead she picked me up with one hand and slap me twice and she started yelling at me saying, "WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU LOSING CONCENTRATION LIKE THAT? I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO SCARED FOR MY OWN LIFE! I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE!" What she said answers one of my questions and I want to ask her something right before I open my mouth. She said, "shut up!" Then shot me with a beam directly into my heart.

I woke up and looked around knowing that I'm at the hideout. I can still feel the pain in my heart just when Yang beams at me. KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! I was guessing it was Erma, Crystal, and Lele sensing my power depleting again so I replied, "come in!" The door opened slowly and the person that walked through it was Eren. He looked at me and started smiling. Then he said, "I can sense that you've gotten way stronger just from learning mana." Then he started giggling. I remember the question I was going to ask him when I was at the mountain. So I said, "did you know that I was going to survive on the mountain?" Eren looked at me with a serious face and said, "no, even if you fail then why would I save a kid who is not going to try to get better? Then their life will be a living hell." Crystal walked inside and wanted to announce both of us. She said, "I wanted to get something off my chest, the same thing for Erma and Lele. Before we met, all three of us were pregnant. Ten years ago, I gave birth to a boy and I named him Raian." Then Lele revealed herself behind the wall and said, "I also gave birth to a boy too and his name was Eriasu." Then Erma revealed herself too and said, "I third gave birth to a son and his name was Kurodo." Eren and I were super surprised by the news but we are also happy that they told us and that means they trust us. Then Eren looked at me with a soft smile and said, "those people will be your comrades and you will train with them to make them stronger." My eyes widened and I was very excited, also even more fired up for our next training.

Eren was curious and looked at the ladies and asked them, "where are the sons now?" All of them had sad, sorrowful, and mad looks on their faces and Lele said, "all our sons were taken from us by the capital so none of them have a clue where they are." Eren looked back at me and said, "you have to look for them not us, they will be your allies from now on." I nod my head and he smiles. Erma widened her eyes out of nowhere and looked at me saying, "there is a youth fighting tournament next year." Then Eren said, "oh I completely forgot about that!" I was confused and I asked, "what is a youth fighting tournament?" Eren replied, "I will gladly explain what it is! It's a tournament where kids all over join together and the top four people will be enrolled in the capital school of royalty!" I was amazed and excited and wanted to try to get first place because I wanted to continue my revenge and destroy the kingdom. After dinner, Eren said, "Maikeru get ready because you are going to be trained in combat and are going to go up against Crystal. Crystal, don't hold back, okay give everything you got!" We both said, "YES SIR!!" Crystal looked at me and I know I'm screwed but I also feel like I'm going to win somehow.

Narrator: Maikeru next challenge and it a big one too, it a big showdown between him vs Crystal. What is Eren planning?

Eren opened a portal and said, "everyone it's time to go through the portal, this is a perfect place to fight. I am already excited for it to go down and I'm not the one fighting." Lele and Erma walk through the portal first then Crystal stops in front of the portal and turns around and gives me a slight smile telling me to be ready. So I smiled right back at her and then Crystal walked through the portal. I looked at Eren and asked him, "can you tell me anything about Crystal's fighting style she uses because I want to be ready." Eren looked at me with a gentle smile and said, "hell no! Where is the fun in that!" Then he walked through the portal. I wasn't surprised that he said that but I'm just nervous. Then Eren walked back from the portal, grabbed my arm, and dragged me through the portal. What I saw left me speechless. It looked like an abandoned battleground. All you can see is grass and rocks. Eren said, "this place is where you two are going to fight and I'm going to give you a weapon that you can use for the fight." Eren handed Crystal staff and he handed me a sword. When Crystal picked up the staff, the staff started glowing yellow then I heard thunder. I looked up and the sky turned from a sunny day into thunder. Then a lightning strike struck Crystal. BOOM!! It was so loud that my ears started to ring. When the smoke started clearing up and what I saw shocked me to the core. Crystal's power was rising rapidly and her staff changed. The staff was sparking up lightning and it was covered in a lightning symbol so it was obvious that Crystal has that power of Lightning. But I was curious about what her power was called so I asked, "hey Crystal what is the name of your pow-" When I saw her face I got scared because her eyes were glowing yellow and the evil look on her face smiled at me made me feel like I was going to die. After a few seconds of silence, Crystal started walking up to me and said, " my power is named Thor's Lightning." I was relieved that she was still in her senses so I picked up my weapon. Nothing happened, but I had a feeling this would happen.
