A flashback from the hardcore training I had to do. I was left stuck in this world, dealing with its gravity. Zedros gave me a spell to help me start the training. On day 5 of the training was when I encountered this monster. It had one big eye, four arms, one big tail, and six legs. It said to me, "Poor little boy, you seem to be lost." I responded saying, "I'm not lost. This is my temporary hideout for my training." The monster then asked me questions like was I alone, how old I am, etc. Then I started to ask it questions. He responded to me by saying, "I don't like how many questions you are asking me, little boy." I replied saying," I only asked like four." He then responded in a mad voice, "Is that attitude little boy? Looks like I need to teach you some manners!" I yelled at him, "WHAT?!" His stomach then starts to growl. He looked at me with a killer face and said, "I'm getting the hungry little boy. Do you have any food?" I replied, "I have fish that I caught from the pond." He then gets hangry and replies, "Oh no-no-no. Fish won't fill me up now. The only snack that will fill up my hunger looks like it is going to be you, little boy." He then started to lick his lips looking down at me. I'm in shock. He was planning on eating me from the start. He then started to throw a punch at the ground at me. I dodged the punch and flew up to his eye level. He looks at me and says, "The weak little creature can fly, how adorable." I reply shouting at him, "Don't call me weak!" As I'm flying around him dodging his attacks he starts repeating and yelling the words weak at me. "Weak! Weak! Weak! Weak! Weak! Weak!" Zedros then said to me in my head, "Are you going to let him call you weak, or are you going to do something about it?" I replied to Zedros, "Hell no." I then caught one of his fists and my dark energy started to scatter all over his fist. My eyes turned pitch black, and I sent out a deadly blow shouting, "Dark Eradication." The monster's hand broke off his arm. The monster started screaming in pain! He yelled at me saying, "YOU DAMN BASTARD!!! WEAKLINGS LIKE YOU ARE MEALS FOR THE STRONG LIKE ME!!! He then throws another punch with his upper left fist. I then threw a punch right back at it and I broke his hand. The monster starts screaming even louder. His upper body hands are gone. He takes a big leap backward. He yells at me, "OH NO NO NO LITTLE BASTARD! YOU'RE NOT WALKING AWAY UNSCATHED!" His lower body hands manage to grab a hold of me. He then starts to laugh, taunt me, and says, "Oh little boy! No mercy for you after what you has done to me!" I replied, "Does it look like I care?" He then looks at me and begins to open his mouth. I tried to get out of his grasp but then he swallowed me whole. He started laughing and said, "Weak little boy! Learn your place at the bottom." Everything turned black for 10 seconds. Zedros then said to me in my head, "Is what he is saying true Maikeru? Are you weak after all? All of this would be pointless then, prove that big mouth wrong." My eyes widened. I yelled, "Corrupted Black Hole!!!" The monster started to get absorbed from the inside. From the outside, he didn't start to feel good. He sees dark energy particles coming out of him. He then says in a soft, painful voice, "What did that weak boy do to me? That….little...bastard." There was nothing but a black hole left in the area. My eyes then turned back to normal. Zedros said to me, "Good we are not dead. Don't let that happen again." I asked Zedros, "Zedros, am I weak?" Zedros replied, "You are strong Michael, but there will always be someone stronger than you. That's why you must continue to grow stronger. And that monster was never stronger than you in the beginning." I said, "Thank you Zedros. Hey, that's your first compliment towards me!" Zedros then said, "Yeah yeah don't get attached to it now." After everything that happened, I went back to my training.
Narrator: After Maikeru beats the Giant cocky Monster, we go back to the present during the Maikeru Vs Erma sparring.
Back to the sparring match between me and Erma. Erma was walking away from me and then heard what I said. She stopped walking away and sensed my energy growing stronger. I lost control. Zedros then said in my head, "Erma you're screwed now!" Eren watched every glimpse of the battle, laughing, and bouncing his legs up and down. He then shouted, "He has lost control again Erma! What are you going to do now against this great power of his! Erma shouts back, "Shut up you are annoying damn perv." My energy grew twice as much as before. Erma then says, "Don't think you're getting lucky. Let's see if you surpass my energy when I'm in this form!!! Erma's energy then grows bigger, stronger, and way beyond what Maikeru thought he was fighting. Erma then transforms. Her eyes start turning into a mixture of red and orange flames. Her tail grows longer, and the flames spark stronger. She started to grow phoenix wings. She began to grow claws. Everything new that has been added to Erma's attire turned into a big flame of fire. Her hair bursts into big flames. She looks at Maikeru and says, "This is the power of the Rising Phoenix. There are more transformations to go through and this is the strongest one I managed to gain. You too can accomplish something like this." I was surprised and in shock. But due to the state I was in I showed zero signs of emotions. Eren then shouts, "Are you going to stand there and show off to each other or are you going to start fighting again?" I and Erma go into a fighting stance. Right when Eren blinked, and Erma started clashing. We were flying, moving so fast, creating after images, teleporting. Erma's fists turned into flames and started throwing in combinations. I dodged all her attacks. I punched her in the gut. She looks at me with a smirk. Seeing that it did not damage to her she grabbed my arm, her tail burning, charging in flames. She slams downwards towards the ground. Teleports underneath landing a high knee below my back. She then grabs me by the legs and throws me to the ground. I stopped the motion and landed on the ground on my legs. I see her coming in head straight, so I channel my dark energy into my fist. I yelled, "Dark Eradication!" We both made an impact. The punch did damage, but it wasn't enough to make Erma give up. She then quickly does a backflip having her tail slam me into the wall. I was stunned and couldn't move. She puts her hands together and channels her flames and energy. She yells, "Phoenix Abolishment!!!" A big Phoenix launched out of her and was locked onto me. I was low on energy, I couldn't move. I tried to use my corrupted black hole, but it was no use. I lay there and took the hit. A massive explosion appeared and combined all the equators we made into one. Flames going out in every direction. The area was burning into flames. Eren then said, "The match is over! The winner is Erma!" Erma then cools down and goes back into her base form. She sees me hurt, lying down in the middle of the equator. I slowly started to get back up. Erma then walks toward me and puts her foot on top of me crushing me to the ground. She said, "Maikeru, do you yield?" I go silent for 10 seconds. Erma yells at me again, "Maikeru don't make me repeat myself! Do you yield?!" As she increases the pain in my back. The ground begins to crack with dark energy. Eren looked down, surprised. Erma's foot was rising in the air. I was getting up. But in my head, I was in front of Zedros as he was sitting on his throne. Zedros said, "I'll lend you more energy to fight Maikeru but tell me, are you going to lose again? Remember what happened with that random guy with the Menace Blade? Are you going to lose to someone else?" I then replied to Zedros, "No. Not again. I will keep pushing myself until my body collapses and falls apart." Zedros smiles and increases the dark power that was given to me. Zedros said, "You're growing stronger Maikeru. Yang, you know what to do." Yang then shoots a beam through my heart. I start lifting Erma's foot. I grabbed her foot and threw her in the air. I yelled, "I will never yield!" Erma starts to get angrier. She then unleashes her energy. The area was getting hotter and hotter, filled with Erma's energy. Then I unleashed my energy. Half of the area was filled with darkness. Eren then says, "There is no telling whose energy level is stronger but all I know is that Maikeru is growing stronger due to this fight." I and Erma finished unleashing our energy. She then looks at me and dashes towards me leaving a trail of flames behind. It looked like she was going to go for a flying kick in front of me, so I got ready to counter her and launched dark spheres toward her. She dodges the dark spheres and once I was about to use Dark Eradication but then she teleported above me and yelled, "Raging Phoenix Kick!" I managed to keep up with her speed and pulled an uppercut with Dark Eradication. As both moves connect it all comes down to seeing which one goes out first. The entire area was filled with dark and fire energy. I then used my other fist to grab Erma's foot. My hand started to burn so I had to make it quick. I grabbed Erma's foot and slammed her to the ground. I immediately pounced on top of Erma and started using my Dark Eradication. Erma put her arms up blocking her face and getting ready for impact. I started throwing heavy punches on top of Erma. Boom! Boom! Boom! The equator started to expand even more. Erma's arms then gave out leaving her open. Right when I was going to do the finishing blow, Zedros then stops me and says, "There is a high chance of killing her Maikeru when you deliver this blow. You should ask if she yields first instead of attempting to murder her by accident." I then listened to Zedros and I turned back to my normal state.
I asked Erma, "Do you yield?" Eren decided to fly down just to hear Erma say the words. As I and Eren wait for Erma's response, Erma says, "I yield. And why are you here Eren?!" Eren replies, "Oh nothing, just wanting to hear you accept defeat. I wanted to make sure you know." Erma then yells at Eren, "He was going to kill me, what do you want me to do?!" I then collapsed to the ground relieved that we finished and that I won. Eren then picks us both up and activates the portal. Eren said, "It's time to go home now. Good job Maikeru. Next time less killing please." I smiled and said, "Ok Eren. Erma, Good fight." Erma smiled back at me and said, "Good job Maikeru. At the end of the day, it was a good fight."
Narrator: After the amazing sparring between Erma and Maikeru, Eren takes them home and lets them heal.
The next day, I woke up. I thought it was Sunday because, in the other world, I spent six days there. But I was wrong, when I looked at the calendar, it was Tuesday. It has only been one day and then I heard multiple sounds. I hear Eren drinking his tea and reading the news, I hear Erma and Crystal sleeping, and I hear Lele preparing breakfast or lunch. I don't know what time it is right now. I guess all my senses got sharper. Now that I'm awake, I have to relax my body because it was still damaged from yesterday's battle and her transformation was so beautiful. I would have lost if her transformation stayed on. I wonder if Crystal and Lele have a certain transformation too. I wonder what the kingdom looks like now because it's been a long time and today is my day off. I left my room and started walking to Eren. When I reached the room, Eren was in, and I didn't see him. Then Eren said, "I'm up here Maikeru!" I looked up and I saw Eren floating upside-down drinking coffee. I was amazed and confused at the same time, so I asked, "Wow!! How are you doing that!!" Eren looked at me smiling and said, "Oh it's just simple spatial magic and flying, all I have to do is change the gravity for my coffee with my spatial magic and that is how I can drink my coffee." It's cool how Eren came up with these good ideas, but I have another question for him so I asked him, "Hey Eren, I want to know if I can go to the capital to look around?" Eren spits out his coffee and he reply, "Umm…the capital why? It is dangerous to go there. Remember the King tried to kill you by taking you to the most dangerous area and you didn't know how to use your power." Lele walked in and said, "Eren, how about I take Maikeru to the capital, I can be his supervisor." Eren replied, "Fine. Just be careful ok." Lele and I nodded our heads and left. Eren opened a portal to the Capitol. Lele and I had our cloaks on, so it didn't show any suspicion. Then Lele and I went through the portal.
Narrator: As Maikeru and Lele head to the Capitol, Eren has an uneasy feeling something bad is going to happen.
What I saw was amazing. The capital was so lively with people hanging out with friends, family being together, and everyone having fun. I smiled with excitement and Lele noticed then BOOM!! I turn around trying to find where that sound is coming from. BOOM!! BOOM!! I looked at the callosum knowing that the sound was coming from there then I looked at Lele and she was facing the same direction, so I pulled on her cloak telling her to go over there. She said, "Sure but I need you to conceal your energy." I replied, "How can I conceal my energy?" She said, "It's easy, all you have to do is hold in some of your energy." So, I concentrated and held in some of my energy. Then Lele and I flew to the coliseum, and I saw one boy and one girl. The boy has a glowing scythe, and the girl has two big blades chained together fighting each other. Lele was shocked so I flew down to watch them fight.
20 minutes before the noise coming from the coliseum. Lyon was relaxing under a tree eating an apple. Thinking about how life is going well all of a sudden Sana comes in throwing a knife through Lyon's apple into the tree. Lyon looks at Sana and says, "Well what was that for?" Sana replies, "Why are you not training?" Lyon then replies, "I am taking a break from training." Sana replies with an annoyed tone, "No you're not, you're slacking off as always." Lyon then lays back on the ground and says, "Why are you bothering me?" Sana then replies, "Not everyone is blessed with powerful abilities like you." Lyon then gets up from the ground and starts walking away from Sana. Sana then shouts at Lyon, "And where are you going?!" Lyon then replies, "Away from you, what else does it look like?" Sana gets angry and dash teleports in front of Lyon, grabbing him by the neck and saying, "You have no right to be treating me like this." Lyon grabs Sana's hand and takes her hand off his neck and replies back, "I don't need to deal with a weakling like you." Sana then gets offended and shouts, "WEAKLING?!" Then all of a sudden, right when Sana was about to have a fit with Lyon, they receive a message from the General to report to his office for a meeting right now.
