Crystal and I looked at Eren and he had his hand up basically telling us to get into our fighting stance, so we did. The second Eren put his hand down Crystal swung her staff to create an air pressure filled with dust to cover my vision and trying to put me off balance, but I blocked it by slicing right through and when I look up, it was Crystal right in front of me and she punched me in the jaw with so much force that it sent me flying for about a few yards and when I was about to make the connection with the bolder, Crystal swung her staff and it made a connection to my stomach and sent me flying in the air. Crystal jumped so fast that it looked like she was teleporting behind me, then she said, "lightning ax kick!" She landed the kick on my back and I felt like lightning struck me. Then I crashed to the ground. I was in a ridiculous amount of pain and I couldn't move because I got stung by lightning. When Crystal landed on the ground, she looked at Eren and he called to me saying, "I feel embarrassed for you losing to a lady. How can you get your revenge if you can't beat this one person? You are weak, you are nothing. You should let Crystal kill you right here, right now, and no one will find you! Everyone will abandon you again and now what will you do?" After Eren's speech, I started to hear a voice in my head repeating the same words over and over again. "KILL!! KILL!! KILL!! KILL!!" I started to get mad because all I could think about was killing. Then my sword blade color started to change into black and when I got up everyone except Eren started shaking, then Crystal started spinning her staff and hit it to the ground saying, "LIGHTNING STRIKE!!" A lightning bolt came directly at me out of nowhere but in a split second I randomly chanted a spell saying, "corrupted blackhole!" While raising my hand facing my palm to the lightning bolt, then a black hole appeared making an earthquake and it absorbed the blast. Then the black hole disappeared. Crystal was shocked with fear in her eyes trying to figure out what was going on. Then I sent a huge energy blast pushing her back. I charged right at her and before she even had a chance to block, I kicked her with so much force that it sent her flying at high speed. Then I super speed right behind her and give her a barrage of punches. Crystal coughs out blood then I grab her arm and throw her in the air. Then I chanted another spell saying, "Darkness Spheres!" Throwing eight spheres automatically attacks Crystal in the air and makes her stay in the air.
Crystal started screaming in pain screaming, "AHHHH!!! SOMEONE HELP ME!!! AHHHH!!! EREN!! AHHH!! LELE!! AHH!! ERMA!! AHH!! PLEASE HELP ME!! IT HURTS!!" After a few seconds of Crystal getting hit by the Darkness Spheres, Crystal widened her eyes and yelled, "THAT'S IT!!" Sending out lightning strikes then the voice in my head keeps getting louder repeating over and over, "kill…kill…kill…" So I jumped in the air, grabbed Crystal's legs, and slammed her to the ground. BAM!! I moved my hand sideways to clear the dust and when I look at Crystal she is unconscious, covered in blood, and she is torn. I turned around and I stared at Erma then right before I charged at her BAM!! A lightning arrow struck me. I scream in pain "AHHHH!!!" Fell to my knees, turning my head, seeing Crystal half-conscious using up her bit of energy left, then she fell. The effect wore off after she fell unconscious, then when I got up, I picked up my sword and looked directly at Erma then right away when I dashed to Erma. BOOM!! A gust of wind hit me and blew me away. I looked up and I saw Lele having her hand aiming directly at me. She looked at Erma and Eren and said, "Erma, let me take care of this, you don't have to waste your energy on this little boy okay!" Erma nodded her head, then Lele looked at me and shouted, "bring it!" A huge amount of wind pushed me right towards her. I couldn't react or do anything. I tried moving around but it did not help. Then when I was six feet away from her she said, "expand!" A huge wind pressure pushed me away from her. Smashing into another boulder and I spit out blood. Then Lele used wind pressure to force me not to move. She shouted, "stop you lost, you won't win against me!" I shouted out right back at her saying, "GET OUT OF MY WAYYY!!!" Forcing myself to move, making her shocked. Then I pushed myself jumping toward Lele, grabbing her face and smashing her head to the ground making her spit out blood. I raised my hand aiming my palm at my sword and I said, "Come to me the sword Eren gave." The sword started levitating then it came right to my hand and I raised the sword over my head and shouted, "Dark Flame Slash!" Swinging my sword down and a slash of black flames going towards Lele, then she shouted, "come forth Raging Tornado!" Two huge tornadoes making contact with my attack made a huge explosion.
Erma looked at Eren asking him, "should we stop them because it's supposed to be training, but this is going out of hand! Maikeru already hurt Crystal and now he is going to go up against Lele!" Eren looked at Erma with a grin on his face and said, "let's just wait a little bit longer. I want to see the full extent of his power and if all three of them fell unconscious, we can just take them to the doctor." Erma was confused and replied, "aren't we trying to lay low? Also, I don't think Maikeru is his original self right now!" Eren looked back to the battle and teleported to Crystal, picking her up and teleporting back. Putting Crystal down then said, "Erma! All the boy needs is to be pushed to the edge! I want him to be strong enough to be at least stronger than the gods themselves!" Erma's eyes widened and looked back at the battle.
Back into the battle, I jumped into the air and sent a barrage of dark flame slices but Lele blocked it, then suddenly there was a huge throbbing pain in my head making me fall to the ground and making hold onto my head. Lele got worried and started running toward me. Eren yelled out to Lele shouting, "LELE DON'T GO NEAR HIM!" Lele turned around to look at Eren, then I started yelling saying, "GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!" A huge beam of Light and Darkness fell on Lele and I made a huge earthquake. Eren and Erma were shocked, nervous, speechless, and confused. After a few minutes, the beam disappears and all Eren and Erma can see are that Lele and I were unconscious and my broken sword. Eren gave Erma a cloak and said, "put this on because we're going to bring them to the doctor." Erma nodded to Eren while putting on a cloak. Eren teleports Lele and me and teleports us back. Eren opens a portal saying, "go through the portal and don't say anything. Let me do all the talking okay Erma." Erma nods and walks through the portal, then Eren walks through.
Narrator: After the intense fight with Maikeru and Crystal and an unexpected part with Maikeru and Lele. Everyone went unconscious, Eren and Erma finally grabbed them and went to the unknown doctor.
Erma and Eren stand right outside of the Duke's mansion, then Erma turns to Eren. Eren puts his finger over his mouth telling her to stay quiet so she turns back to face the mansion, they then start walking to the door. Eren knocked on the door and a butler opened it. The butler said, "welcome sir Eren Ross, what may be the pleasure of seeing you here on this fine day?" Eren smiled and replied, " hello Alex how are you? I want to know where your healer and Sir Luke are." Then Alex replied, "ah yes, I can see that three of your members are hurt pretty badly. Was it a beast or a monster?" Eren replied, "no it was training and things got out of hand." Then Alex opened the door saying, "oh, where my manners come right in." Eren and Erma walked right in while holding Lele, Crystal, and Maikeru. Alex guided Eren and Erma to a bedroom with six beds in it. Then Eren and Erma put each one of us on a bed, then Eren looked at Erma and said, "go relax on a bed because we are going to be here for a while." Erma Replied, "okay I'm going to go rest my head." Eren patted Erma on the head, then walked out, closing the door behind him. He looks forward and sees Alex. Alex said, " Follow me, Master Ross, I'm going to take you to Sir Luke. He will be delighted to see you again." Eren started following Alex, then three maids walked past them and Eren asked Alex, "where are the maids going?" Alex replied, "they're the healers and they're going to heal your friends, Master Ross." Eren smiled. After a few minutes of walking, Alex and Eren reached the door. Alex looked at Eren and said, "this room is called the dining room and Sir Alex is right behind this door." Eren said, "thank you, Alex." Alex replied, "You're welcome, and have a nice day Master Ross."
Eren opens the door and sees Sir Luke in a white button-down shirt and black pants, eating steak, and drinking wine. Sir Luke looked up and smiled saying, "long time no see Eren Ross or should I say the capital's biggest traitor." Eren replied, "nice to see you too Luke Voron, how's everything?" Luke started laughing saying, "you haven't changed one bit, my good friend. Everything is going well, I still wish you could have stayed at the capital though." Eren grinned saying, "oh yeah, then why can I sense five people listening to our conversation, especially Alex?" Luke raised his hand slightly and said, "you don't have to worry about them, they are just worried about my health because you became a traitor. So tell me everything that has happened through your journey." Eren told Luke everything from when he rescued Erma, Lele, Crystal, and Maikeru and from knowing that my power is unbelievably strong also tried to figure out if it is ancient or new. From teaching me how to use mana control and some breathing styles and the training between Crystal and I also how it went out of hand. Luke said, "huh, that does sound serious, are you going to take him to the Youth Fighting Tournament, because the king will be there?" Eren replied, "yes, he has a mission in the future to find three boys and have them become his comrades." Luke gave Eren a slight smile and said, "you can stay here for a while but then you have to leave. I don't want someone to come in and see you and your allies. I wish this conversation would last longer but I'm worried for your well-being." Eren replied, "thank you so much." Then he left the room.
Eren walked back to the room where Erma, Lele, Crystal, and I were. Erma was still sleeping, Lele was reading a book, Crystal was lying down, and I was sitting on a chair looking through the window. Eren said, "how is everyone feeling?" We all except for Erma looked at Eren and said, "fine!" But Eren wasn't satisfied with that answer so he asked, "do you remember what happened at the battle?" Crystal and Lele looked at me and said, "sorry." I started to get nervous and responded, "it's not your fault, it's mine. If I was stronger, I could have controlled my power better, so please keep your head up for me please." So they lifted their heads and gave me a smile of relief. Eren looks at Erma and starts walking to her. Then he jumps trying to land his face on top of Erma's breast. Erma opens her eyes and punches Eren. Erma got up shouting, "what on earth are you doing?!" Eren replied, "you look so lonely and I thought you needed someone to cuddle with." she shouted back at him saying, "the only male person in this group I'll cuddle with is Maikeru because he is not a huge pervert unlike you!" I got flustered and Eren got up and asked, "okay, is everyone ready to go back to the hideout now?" We nod and Eren opens the portal.
Eren looked at me and asked, "Hey Maikeru you should go get more rest because tomorrow is more combat training, but your opponent is going to be me!" My eyes widened with shock knowing my next opponent is Eren. A person who can use spatial, dimensional, and time magic. If I go up against him, he will handle me if I go berserk, or can this world handle his and my full power. Eren sees that I'm getting worried so he says, "look, Maikeru, you don't have to worry about me. I am way stronger than you think. If I wanted to destroy this world I can but I'm not wicked as the Kingdom is" I replied saying, "I trust you." Everyone looked at me smiling, basically wishing me good luck. But I want to go back to the mountain so I asked Eren, "hey Eren can you make a portal back to the mountain? I want to keep practicing my mana control and breathing styles." Eren replied, "okay, good luck!" He opened the portal and I walked through. When I look around it brings me lots of memories only of how I almost died but for now, things will change.
Okay, so I just need to do the thing Zedros told me. The first is to surround myself with mana to increase my mana control. After a few seconds, I did it. I can move around and this time I wouldn't pass out. After a few hours of walking through the mountain I was amazed that I can still keep going, I guess all that training paid off. Then suddenly, I saw a shadow in the distance. It was shorter than me, wearing a black cloak, and carrying a giant black sword. Its energy was insane. Also, it walked towards me and I walked towards it too. Both of us stopped right next to each other. Now I got a better look at him, it was a guy and he looked like he was the same age as me. He looks familiar. The guy said, "they move out of my way or I'll make you!" I replied, "my name is Maikeru, what's yours?" He looked into my eyes and said, "my name is Yanan now move it!" He threatens me by grabbing his sword handle. Then I said, "you and I are the same, we both got sent to be executed by the King" Shamueru eyes widened replying, "get into your fighting stance and never say we're the same! I'm way stronger than you!" This is bad, I don't have a weapon and his energy is rising like crazy. He's stronger than Erma, Lele, and Crystal. In a matter of seconds, I feel like I'm going to get killed. I already had my Yin ability kicked in so I guess I have no choice but to fight and hope that my Yang ability kicks in too.
Shamueru drew his giant sword and the color was black with purple stripes. He said, "This sword is called Menace Blade. A special blacksmith crafted it for me and the more power I put in it, the more powerful it becomes." Everything he said I thought he was lying, but he looked dead serious. So I took a step back and he said, "Black Wall!" A huge black wall appeared behind me covering my path to escape then right when I was about to look back right where he was. He swung his sword saying, "Darkness Slash!" Multiple dark slashes came at me, so I covered myself trying to endure. Then Shamueru dashed right at me, spinning his sword and smashing his sword right into my stomach. It made me spit out lots of blood and broke through the wall. I started to roll on the ground because I couldn't recover, then Shamueru started chasing after me. Then when he caught up to me, he swung his sword down smashing me into the ground. I screamed in pain, "AHHHH!!" Then my body bounces right back up and he swings his sword down again, smashing me into the ground again and again and again! Leaving a giant hole on the ground. When he stopped attacking, he looked at me with my clothes all torn up, my nose draining out blood, my mouth covered in blood, and my ribs all broken. Then he said, "I told you to move, you should've listened. You know that you're weaker than me. Now, look at you, half-conscious. I'm mostly curious what your power and weapon were but I don't have time, I'm leaving because this fight is pathetic!"
Shamueru started walking away and all I could hear was nothing. Then suddenly I heard a voice saying, "I can give you a little bit of my power, but it will only be enough to escape not to fight!" I know that voice, it was Zedros! I replied saying, "Thank you Zedros, but I'm not running away! I'm going to stay here and fight!" I got up from the ground and Yanan noticed. He said, "So you got some fight left in you huh!" I charged right toward him and said, "Darkness sphere!" Throwing eight spheres at him, then they automatically dashed right to him, and right when it was about to hit him, he said, "Perfect Blackhole!" He raised one finger and a black hole appeared, absorbing my Darkness Sphere but I wasn't done. I dashed to him to attempt a leg sweep hoping that he'd jump and he did. He jumps in the air then I grab his cloak and slam him to the ground, but when his body bounced in the air, he put his hand on the ground and kicked me right into my broken ribs. That made me spit out even more blood and not only that, I'm almost out of energy. When I got up I heard Shamueru shout out, "Dark Sun!" I looked in the air and saw Shamueru holding his hands up and on top of it was a gigantic ball of dark energy. If I don't stop it, it can destroy the whole world. Then Shamueru moved his hand at me, also moving the Dark Sun directly towards me. I had no choice but to use all my energy so I raised both my hands, releasing every single energy I have into one big blast shouting, "Okay here we go, COME FORTH YIN YANG!!" I blasted a black and white beam at the Dark Sun holding it in place then Shamueru put in more energy to the Dark Sun making it move again and I can feel my energy depleting more rapidly. Then suddenly I fell unconscious and Shamueru made the Dark Sun disappear and said, "I won't kill you yet! I still have unfinished business I have to do first!" Then Shamueru left.
Narrator: Shamueru came into play but Maikeru thought he was going to be friendly with him but didn't go as planned as they had an unfair fight, Shamueru spared Maikeru life for his personal reason.
At the hideout, during the time I was at the mountain, Lele walked to Eren and asked, "umm…Eren, where are you going to take Maikeru for his combat training?" Eren replied, "oh glad you asked! I'll take him to a planet!" Lele looked confused screaming, "what?!" Eren replied, "I can make a portal anywhere in the universe." Lele started to realize that Eren is in a whole different league and asked, "the planet you are taking Maikeru to, is it safe?" Eren replied, "don't worry the planet is safe and when I was looking around I found a cave, I walked into the cave and found a weapon made of rocks but I can't tell what it was, all I saw were two handles and that was it." Lele thought for a moment then she said, "that's why you want Maikeru to go to that planet! To see if he can get something out of it" Eren nodded and said, "if he does get something from it, there is no doubt that he'll get stronger. Strong enough to destroy planets if he can weld it properly, but he is not going to use it all the time after our battle, I'm going to take it and hide it for a couple of years." Lele sighs in relief knowing that Eren already thought of this situation. Eren starts to sense a very strong presence coming from my direction and said, "Lele I'll be right back! I'm going to go check up on Maikeru!" Lele nods and Eren opens a portal. Walking through the portal and starting to look for me, he saw a person in a black cloak flying by. Knowing that he had a very strong presence. Eren started to get worried and started running. After a few minutes, he started seeing bloodstains on the snow, then he followed the blood stains and found my body lying unconscious. Eren picked up my body and opened a portal back to the hideout. Then what Lele, Erma, and Crystal saw was horrifying. Eren took me to my room, treating my injuries. He said to me in a serious tone, "Mark my words Maikeru, I will make sure you'll get stronger and this will never happen to you ever again!"
When I felt unconscious I was brought back to the half-light and half-dark area, but just realized that I need a name for this area so I call it the Yin Yang World. I started walking to the thrones where Yang and Zedros sat, then Zedros shouted at me, "stop moving!" I was confused so I did. I can tell that he was furious at me because I can hear him grinding his teeth and Yang is just sitting not saying anything. Then Zedros shouted, "I told you to run away! I only gave you enough power to escape! So why did you keep fighting him! You know that you're weaker than him!" I guess Zedros was worried about me. I already started my new journey and I almost died twice. So I said, "I'm sorry. I let my pride take over me. I don't want to run away like a coward. Also, I thought if I beat him, he'll answer some of my questions." Yang got up and said, "it's okay for you to run away like a coward because there's a big chance of you finding him again when you get stronger." Then Zedros replied, "for once I have to agree with her because the move Yanan did could destroy this whole world. I was wondering why he stopped." I would have died long ago if he kept going. Zedros got up from his throne and walked toward me. Then he got close enough to grab my throat and started squeezing it. I couldn't breathe and Zedros said, "you will not fight Eren tomorrow, I want you to tell him that you want to fight him in one month! Also do not go back to that mountain!" I said, "yes.. under…stood" Then Zedros said, "yo Yang you already know what to do!" Zedros throws me into the air and Yang shoots a beam directly into my heart.
I woke up from the bed and I saw Eren sleeping on a chair. When I looked around and looked back at Eren, he sensed my energy and woke up. I asked him, "how long was I asleep?" Eren replied, "one whole week." Well, no wonder my wounds and my body are completely healed. Then Eren asked, "Maikeru, be real with me, who did this to you?" I replied, "a boy that is the same age as me, he has dark powers too. His energy is way stronger than Crystal, Lele, and Erma!" Eren said, "if you knew he was stronger than them, why didn't you run away?" I replied, "it's because I don't want to be weak anymore and I wanted to at least try to put up a fight!" Eren sighed then said, "look, you got a lot of time to get stronger and it's okay for you to run away. You don't have to worry, okay." I nod and then I sense three people behind the door. Eren notices saying, "ah, you can sense them now, and that means you've gotten a little stronger. Lele, Crystal, and Erma, you girls don't need to hide anymore. He sensed you already." Erma, Crystal, and Lele burst open the door, running, whining, and hugged me. Eren says, "how about you give me a hug too Erma!" Erma lets go of me and then punches Eren. Erma shouts at Eren saying, "shut up you damn perv!" Then proceeded to hug me again. Then after a few minutes, they stopped and I looked at Eren asking, "I want to hold our battle from tomorrow and move it to next month." Eren was happy to hear that, so he agreed. So, in one month, I have to practice controlling my power, sword styles, and physical form so I can be a worthy opponent against Eren.
