Chapter 8 - Chapter 8

Once Lele left, I then got ready for the night. It was then nightfall and I had everything ready. I then got ready to sleep until the wind decided to blow everything away and I mean everything including me! I then started to scream in rage and anger, "THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE! HOW CAN I SURVIVE IF THE DAMN WIND WILL JUST BLOW IT ALL AWAY!" Zedros then spoke to me and said, "Maikeru you're really about to quit? And to think that you were worthy of my powers, pathetic." I then started talking to Zedros, "I'm sorry, I'm just mad. I didn't mean anything that I said." Zedros replies, "Maikeru, do you not see the pattern." I then shouted, "You already know the pattern of this curse?!" Zedros said, "Yes and this is not even a powerful curse too." I then started to ask, "What is the pattern?" Zedros then said, "Hey, this is your training not mine. Figure it out yourself." Zedros then left. I then started calling out to Zedros repeatedly but he wouldn't come out. The Gush of wind then launched me in the air and threw me into a nearby river.

Time goes by and it's already day 3. I started learning more about the curse. I began to dodge some of its attacks but I wouldn't be able to dodge most of them. I went fishing for food and I almost dodged all of its attacks. The wind decided to grab me by the leg, sweeping me down onto the ground, and then it did a devastating blow to my gut. The wind attacks aren't that powerful but it's still annoying and they sting. Zedros finally starts to speak to me again and says, "You're finally learning how to dodge the wind now. I then said, "Well look who it is talking to me again." Zedros then replies, "You know, I don't really have to be here. I can just go." I then apologized, "No stay! I was joking around." Zedros then says, "Well look who is begging for me to stay now." I then reply, "Man, you can be a pain sometimes you know that." Zedros replies, "I know and it's fun to be a pain towards you Michael but at the end of the day, you're a good kid." Zedros then proceeds to talk about the wind. Zedros then says, "You can't see the wind but you can feel the wind right." I nodded my head. Zedros then says, "If you can't see it, then try closing your eyes to help make it easier to sense it and once you get better with dodging with your eyes closed then try again with your eyes opened." I then nodded my head and said, "That's a good idea Zedros, thank you." Zedros then replies, "No problem Maikeru and good luck."

Narrator: After 3 days of dealing with Lele wind curse Maikeru finally sees the pattern and understands about the curse as well.

Day 5 has arrived and I was dodging the attacks. The wind tried to attack from behind, above, and below. I was dodging mad crazy. But then the wind started to pick up the pace. The wind became faster and stronger. It was like I was starting all over again trying to dodge it. I then remembered to close my eyes and continued to keep dodging the attacks. Eren then came over to check on me. Eren shouted, "Hey Maikeru what's up! How is the training going?" I then shouted back, replying to Eren, "Hey Eren!" I then lost focus and the wind managed to hit me and threw me into Eren. Eren catches me and then says, "You need to learn how to stay focused and not get distracted that easily Maikeru." Eren put me down and I asked him, "Why did you come here?" Eren then replies, "Just wanted to check on you and see the progress you have made." I smiled and said, "I made a good amount of progress actually. I think I'm able to dodge the wind fully with my eyes closed. I just need to learn how to stay focused." Eren then replies, "That's good Maikeru! By the way, me and Lele will be coming on your last day to check up on you." I replied, "Oh ok." The wind then attempts to attack me from behind but I then dodged the attack. Eren then says, "Good reflexes Maikeru! Keep on improving, I'm going to go head back now." I then said, "Thank you." I then waved back to Eren as he left and waved back to me.

Day 7, the last day has come. I was dodging with my eyes open. The wind was coming in faster than it has ever before. Zedros was trying to distract me with insults. Lele and Eren came flying down. Lele and Eren were surprised at how well I had improved. Eren then shouts, "Hey Maikeru we're back!" I then shout back at them, "Hey guys!" The wind tried to attack me but I was still dodging its attacks at the same time. Me, Eren, and Lele had a conversation going on while I was dodging the wind. Lele then says, "We've been talking for like three hours and yet you haven't been hit once Maikeru." Eren replies, "That's Maikeru for you. He says it's impossible and then does the impossible." I then asked Lele, "Can you remove the curse now?" Lele then removed the curse, and I was able to stop dodging. Eren then asked me, "Do you think you still have enough energy to fly all the way back home Maikeru?" I replied back, "I think I do." Eren and Lele started to fly up and Lele said, "Come on Maikeru, let's head back home, your training is done." I flew up to them and we started to fly back home.

Narrator: After seven whole days Maikeru finally got a good grasp of controlling his senses and reflex.

Two days later, I was having mixed emotions because Eren has unbelievable powers and whatever powers he takes, he can use it to the fullest plus his material arts are abnormal. But for me, I'm stronger than before and I do hope I can give Eren a good fight. He did say he can't absorb my powers so I think if I use the Corruption Blackhole, I will be able to use it. Then out of nowhere, Zedros said, "Corruption Blackhole only absorbs spells that you can see" then I replied, "So if his power is hands-on?" Zedros replied, "Then you can do nothing about it." Knock! Knock! I looked at the door then Eren opened the door coming inside my room. I was curious why he's here so I asked, "Hey Eren, what are you doing here?" Eren replied, "Oh you know, I'm just checking up on you because remember tomorrow is the battle and you have improved some much in one month. Also, I can sense that you're nervous so let me tell you this, when we get to the area, Lele, Erma, and Crystal won't be there because over there me and you will give everything we got. I want you to come at me with murdering instincts okay!" I replied, "Okay! I won't go easy on you Eren!" Then Eren left my room with a happy look on his face.

Narrator: After a good chat with Zedros and Eren the day had finally come for Maikeru to fight Eren.

It was the next day; it was finally battling day. I was getting ready before we departed. Zedros said, "Are you ready to fight Eren?" I replied, "Yes I am Zedros!" At Eren's room, Eren was jumping up and down because he was so excited for the battle. Knock! Knock! Knock! Eren says, "Come in!" Erma, Crystal, and Lele walked in. Eren says, "What's up ladies, why do you all look so nervous?" Crystal replies, "We think you should take it easy on Michael during the battle." Eren looks at Crystal in the eyes and says, "Nope! Not even when he goes into that Overload." Crystal, Erma, and Lele eyes widened and try to convince Eren to take it easy. When I finished getting ready, I walked towards Eren's room and I noticed the ladies were arguing with Eren, so I went up to them and said, "Hey Erma, Crystal, Lele, and Eren what is going on here?" Lele replied, "we're just trying to ask Eren to go easy on you during your battle with him." I gave her a blank face and said, "Why? I want him to go all out so I can get even stronger!" The ladies were all confused, but they knew they can't do anything about it. A couple minutes later, Eren finished getting ready and saw me, Lele, Erma, and Crystal waiting for him. He came up to me and said, "Are you ready?" I nodded my head. Eren then opens a portal and Eren walked through it. Right when I was about to walk through it, I turned around and looked at the ladies. I gave them a gentle smile and said, "Thank you guys!" And I then went through the portal. The area was all flat grounded and it was bright, and the ground was a reddish orange color. Then Eren closes the portal and points at the cave, basically telling me to go inside the cave. So, I walked inside the cave, and I saw two handles. Zedros said, "Grab them! Grab them right now Maikeru!" So, I grabbed onto the handle and the ground started to shake. The handle started to glow, then Zedros yelled, "NOW PULL!!!" I pulled the handle with all my might and said, "I call forth the weapon! I'm pulling and I ask for your strength! PLEASE ANSWER THE NAME OF THIS WEAPON THAT ONLY I CAN CONTROL!! YIN YANG KATANAS!!!" BOOM!!! Eren heard an explosion at the cave and started to jog over there. Then he saw me standing up holding two katana shaped weapons. Eren says, "I knew you could do it!" I replied, "Yeah! The name of the weapon is called Yin Yang Katanas!" Eren replies, "Let me put the Yang Katana away for now, since you can mostly control Yin's powers right now." So, I gave him the Yang katana and he opened the portal and tossed it through then Eren looked at me and said, "Are you ready to fight?" I smiled and replied, "Hell yeah!"

Narrator: As Maikeru pull out the two Katana, they were filled with Maikeru power and became the Yin Yang Katana and as the about to fight we go back in time when Maikeru and Eren had an important meeting

I then get a flashback of when Eren called me in his room to teach me something. Eren called Maikeru down to his room. I entered and asked, "Why did you call for me Eren?" Eren then replies, "Sit down Maikeru, I'm going to teach you more about mana and its main purpose." I then sat down across from him. Eren then started talking about Mana. "Listen Maikeru, mana is the source of all life, there is mana all around us. The easiest way to understand it is to think of it like water in a cup." I asked, "Can you explain it a little bit more than just a water cup? I still don't understand it." Eren then starts to grin. Eren then continues and says, "Think of your body as the cup and mana as the water. Your body is filled up with that water and the more you use it, the less you have to use." I understood what Eren was saying now until he said this. Eren then says, "But! There are certain people with something called Elemental Mana. It is in which a person replenishes their mana with an exterior source of that same element such as people with fire-based mana replenishing their mana with an external fire source and they also have a skill with that power." So out of curiosity, I asked him, "How many types of electable manas are there?" He grinned even louder this time and said, "There are six types of mana: Fire, Wind, Earth, Water, Lightning, and the strongest ones of them all are Light and Dark." As I sat there amazed at all the information, I wanted to know what type of elemental mana I feel under, so I asked Eren, "Eren, what type of Elemental Mana am I from?" Eren then replies, "Well kid you're a very rare case because you have two types of Elemental Manas." I was baffled and shocked and said, "What! I have two?" He laughed and said, " Yes you have two, the strongest ones are actually light and dark, so you are a very rare case." I then said to Eren, "Why are we just standing here? Let's start training right now!" Eren grinned again and said, "You need to be patient Maikeru, you have a lot to learn but, that type of enthusiasm is what I expect from you throughout your entire training!" I was so excited and then my training started.

We come back to now. I have grown stronger ever since I came here with Eren, Lele, Crystal, and Erma. It's finally time to see how strong I have gotten. Me and Eren then got into our positions. Me and Eren are across the battlefield. We begin to fly up. Eren still has the same smile he had before we got here. Eren then yells out to me, "Try matching up to my mana energy Maikeru!" I replied to back yelling, "Bet!" We both then began to burst out energy, charging up. I look at Eren and his energy burst is bigger than mine. I got a little bit concerned. Zedro's then said to me, "Is that bothering you Maikeru? Seeing how weak you are compared to Eren? You've grown stronger over the past month. The training you have done, the fights with the other women you have accomplished! Don't let his energy scare you down." I then nodded my head to Zedros. I then draw out my Yin Katana. Eren is still just floating there, smiling. I then thought to myself, "Does he have a weapon of his own? Aren't we going all out? What is he doing?" I then dashed towards Eren. Eren then says, "Oh, coming at me full speed I see." I left multiple after images from where I was going. Eren then loses sight of me. I then went behind Eren and was about to slice him up with my Yin Katana. But by the time I was about to use my katana, Eren had landed a blow towards my gut. I spit out blood. I looked at Eren and he said, "Do you remember what my abilities are Maikeru?" It then got to me. He has time, space, and dimension. He used time in order to stop time and to find where I was. Eren looks at me with a smile and says, "Come on Maikeru, you're not done yet, are you?" He then hits me with a round house launching me across the battlefield. I then said, "Darkness Spheres!" I created after images again surrounding Eren. Eren then stopped time and went up to me and said, "Didn't you learn from the first time Maikeru? I can control time!" Eren then said, "Spatial Shards." Thirty-seven shards hit me and all of the after images. Eren then resumes time. All the after images then started to explode. Eren then was taking explosive damage from every after image. The area was covered with smoke made out of darkness. Eren then says in his head, "None of them were Maikeru! They were all just after images with a darkness sphere left inside of them. I never hit the real one, I just ignited the darkness spheres!" I then was above the smoke and shot another Darkness Sphere into the dark smoke to cause another explosion from the smoke. The dark sphere enters the dark smoke causing the smoke to explode. Eren was then behind. I then turned around and tried to punch him. He then was behind me again. I kept on trying to hit him, but he wouldn't stop using his time abilities. Eren then stops and goes in front of me. He then says, "Dimensional Pull." The ground then starts to pull me down. Eren then says, "Spatial Shards!" I took my Yin Katana out and started to reflect on the shards. Eren then starts increasing the pace of the Spatial Shards. I then start to yell. Four Spatial Shards pierced through my right arm. Eren then goes right next to me and says, "There are still more you need to reflect Maikeru!" I was confused on how the Spatial Shards were still coming at me from above while Eren was just right next to me. Right when Eren then suddenly disappears, Spatial Shards then start coming from my left side. I started reflecting shards from two sides. And then more was coming from behind, my right, and in front of me. I was basically in a dome of Spatial Shards raining down on me from every direction. Eren then says, "Dimensional Domain!" Eren then starts to talk and says, "This is called Dimensional Dome Maikeru, it allows me to attack from multiple directions as long as I make an opening and closing for them to go in and out of. You can't see it, but I can. I can see where they are coming from, where the main area I'm shooting these shards is, and as long as you're in my dome's radius, I can make openings everywhere." I then started to yell even louder. I then did an energy burst sending every shard away from me for a second. The shards then started to come back, and they were landing. Eren looks closer. Eren then says in his head, "I don't see any of my Spatial Shards getting reflected? Did Maikeru knock out and die?" As the energy burst then starts to fade away, there was a hole in the ground showing that I burrowed under. I then came up behind Eren and said, "Dark Eradication!" My Yin Katana then was covered with dark mana giving it a damage boost. Eren then yelled out, "Spatial Shards!" I then yelled out, "Corrupted Black Hole!" I then absorbed the Spatial Shards and then I shouted, "Yin's Amputation!" A humongous slash of darkness then came out of my katana, and it landed on Eren! The slash of darkness then was heading towards the ground with Eren. It collided towards the ground with Eren. The attack then sliced the planet in half with Eren in it.
