Erma's hair grew into bigger flames and Crystal's hair turned into lightning. Night then covered himself in dark mana. Night then said to Creeper, "One down, two more to go." Creeper then started to smile with his mouth opened wide with his tongue out. Creeper then licks the blood off his arm. Erma then rushes Creeper. Erma then shouts, "Raging Phoenix Kick!" Creeper then weaves the kick and catches it. Creeper then pierces his claws through her knee and bites off her heel. Erma then screams in pain. She uses her other leg and says, "Raging Phoenix Kick!" She lands the other kick sending Creeper flying. Creeper then lands on his feet and opens his mouth. He shows Erma's heel in his mouth. Creeper then eats the heel, chewing it down. Creeper then gets healed by a bit. Creeper then says, "Depending on how much flesh I eat determines how much I get healed by! Can't wait to feast on more!" Creeper then charges Erma. Creeper than goes in for a punch. Erma then clashes the punch and says, "Phoenix Raging Fist!" They started to clash with barrages of fists. Creeper then says, "Silent Blow!" Turning his claws invisible, he then slices off Erma's right arm. He then pierces his claws through Erma's jaw. He then picks up Erma by one hand and throws her across the field. Erma then says in her head while she is being flung, "Phoenix Abolishment." She then sends out a phoenix and it lands its blow on Creeper. Creeper then gets grabbed and slammed inside the other side of the mountain. Creeper then coughed up flames. Night then fought Crystal. Crystal shouted, "Sparking Ricochet!" Crystal then was smacking Night and started to bounce off the walls. Crystal then turned into a bolt of lightning clashing towards Night. Night then says, "Judgement Day!" The area then turned dark. Crystal then wasn't able to land a blow on Night. Night disappeared. Crystal then went into her guard stance. Night then reappeared in front of her slicing her in the throat with his blade. He then disappears. Crystal then started to cough up blood. Night then reappears from behind and gets ready to decapitate Crystal. Crystal sensed Night from behind and said in a painful tone, "Thor's Smite." She smited herself and with Night nearby, Night then got struck with the lightning. The area then started to clear up. Night then collapsed on the ground. Crystal then went on her knees. She then grabbed her own throat. Crystal couldn't stop coughing. Then Despair showed up.
Despair looks around and sees that Omen decided to blow up their base. Despair then says, "Another base to destroy, typical Night." He then notices that Night and Creeper were bruised up. Despair then hears Crystal coughing and looks towards her direction. He sees Lele on the ground bleeding out, Erma on one knee struggling to stand, and Crystal on her knees suffering. Despair then says, "You two could've won this fight. Against these three is nothing but child's play honestly." Despair then starts walking towards Erma with his hands in his pockets. He looks down on Erma. Despair then asks, "Where is Maikeru?" Lele, Crystal, and Erma were in shock. Erma then mutters, "I will…..never…" Despair then says, "Hush now. The pain is only temporary remember." Despair then takes out of his hands out of his pockets. Erma then thinks in her head, "So, is this how it all ends? I'm so sorry Eren, Maikeru. I just wasn't strong enough. I'm mostly sorry for you Kurodo."
Narrator: right when Erma was about to meet the end she had a flashback about her and her son Kurodo.
A flashback then comes in on when Erma was with Kurodo. Erma had Kurodo in her hands running. Royal Knights and Creepers were chasing her. It was thundering at night. Erma then trips on a branch, dropping Kurodo. Creeper then said, "Creeping Stalk!" He used Creeping Stalk to see Erma through the woods. Creeper spotted Erma and Kurodo. Creeper then shouted, "They're over here!" Creeper and the Royal Knights gained up on them. Erma gets up and she feels that she sprained her arm. Erma looks at Kurodo in tears and says, "I'm sorry! One day I will come back for you I promise!" She gives Kurodo her final goodbyes and starts to run away. Creeper then pounces on top of Kurodo. Creeper then says, "A power boost snack I see." Creeper's tongue then comes out of his mouth. Creeper then was going to taste Kurodo until and the Royal Knight told him to stop. The Royal Knights took Kurodo and locked him up in a dungeon. Erma, still running, then finds herself at a dead end at a mountain. A Royal Knight from the distance shouts, "I heard a sound coming from that direction!" Erma then starts to panic. A portal opens up and Eren is on the other side. Eren shouts at Erma, "Come in quick!" Erma goes through the portal and the portal closes. The Royal Knights then meet the same dead end Erma was at. A Knight says, "Nothing here but a dead end! Check the other side!" Erma is now on the other side of the portal. She looks around and sees Eren. Eren then says, "My name is Eren Ross and this is my hideout! I heard shouting coming from outside and I went out to check and I saw you running from the Royal Guards." Erma then starts crying saying, "Thank you so much. They took my son! I had to leave him behind! Once I see Creeper again I'm going to kill him for taking my son away from me!" Eren then says, "I'm sorry for what happened. Hey, let's take a look around the hideout and make your room. Back from the flashback, Erma then says, in her head, "I couldn't avenge you Kurodo but maybe you can find somewhere in your heart to seek vengeance for me. Despair's hand got closer to Erma. Despair then says, "Your journey ends here." Despair then flicks Erma in the forehead. Gush of wind and mana came flying out behind Erma's head. Erma then fell down. Crystal then got mad. Crystal then said in her head, "ONE MORE TIME, THOR'S PUNISHMENT!" Crystal then dashes towards Despair. Crystal then says in her head, "This is for Lele, Erma, Maikeru and Eren! Don't you dare mess with me and my family! You took my son away too! You don't know what it is like for a mother to lose their child!"
Narrator: Now we hop in Crystal flashback about her son Raian.
A flashback then comes in. Crystal had her son named Raian. Night and Royal Knights found Crystal's hideout. Crystal says to Raian, "I will come back for you, don't lose fate. If I don't come back, I will always be with you." She then gives Raian a kiss on his forehead. Crystal then hid Raian in a hidden bunker inside the hideout. A Royale Knight then shouts, "Come out with your hands in the air or we will blow up this hideout!" Crystal then comes out of the hideout. Crystal then shouts, "I surrender!" Night then says, "Omens Creation." Night made dark mana cuffs. They cuffed Crystal, put her in a cage and took her away. As they reached the Forest of No Return. Erma and Eren took out all the Royale Knights. Night was then left alone. Eren destroyed the dark mana cuffs. Eren, Erma, and Crystal were all looking at Night. Night then says, "You win this time but I will be back to kill you one day lightning user." Night flew away and headed back to base. Eren opens a portal and Eren and Erma take Crystal in. Crystal told Eren and Erma that she left Raian at her hideout. They started to head towards Crystal's hideout. Crystal goes and looks in the hidden bunker and says in a panicking voice, "HE'S NOT HERE?! HE IS GONE!!! WHO TOOK HIM!!! I'M GOING TO KILL THEM!!!" Erma then hugged Crystal. Crystal started to burst into tears. When Crystal was captured, a group of thieves came in and trespassed inside Crystal's hideout. A thief shouts, "I hear a baby crying in here!" The leader then broke through the hidden bunker and saw Raian. The leader then says, "He is one of us now." One of the thieves then says, "How will a baby be useful for us?" The leader then smacks the thief. The leader then says, "He was abandoned, forgotten, and all alone just like what you once were. He will help us infiltrate areas and train to become a good thief one day." The thieves all agreed and they took Raian and headed back to their hideout.
We come back to Crystal charging in at Despair. Crystal then says in her head, "If you guys never showed up, I would be living a normal life with my son! I will never forgive you!" Despair then slaps Crystal, snapping her neck. Crystal then collapses on the floor like a ragdoll. Despair then says, "Looks like I couldn't get any answers from these two." He looks over at Lele seeing that she is already on her deathbed. Despair looks at Lele's body, sensing her energy depleting. Despair then says, "Pathetic. Waste of time." He then picks up both Night and Creeper. Despair then flies away, heading back to base. Lele is just dying there in her final moments. Lele then thought to herself, "We lost. Erma and Crystal are dead. When Maikeru and Eren come back they're going to be devastated. Why couldn't I live a normal life? But at the same time I would have never met them but also I wouldn't have lost my son."
Narrator: Now last is Lele and Eriasu.
A flashback appears when Lele was with her son. Lele was in a cave training and had Eriasu in his crib watching. Eriasu was laughing watching his mom train until one day, Lele heard noise coming from outside. Lele leaves the cave to go check on what was going on. Lele then sees Royal Guards surrounding the cave. The guards shouted, "Come out with your hands in the air!" Lele then used her wind to grab her staff until it stopped in mid air. Creeper comes out of Silent Blow which turns him invisible and smacks her with her own staff. Lele falls on the ground. Creeper then says, "Well well well, what do we got here?" Lele then shouts, "Creeper what are you doing here?" Creeper then replies, "Oh nothing just checking up on you…" And then Creeper spotted Eriasu. Creeper then continues talking, "And on the baby too." Creeper then goes up to Eriasu and picks him up with one hand. Lele shouts, "Don't you dare hurt him!" Creeper then puts Eriasu down. Creeper replies, "Look let's make a deal, I won't hurt your son if you just turn yourself in and if you don't consider that option then well lets just say that it won't be my first time eating a baby." Creeper's tongue comes out of mouth, licking his lips while staring at Eriasu. Lele then replies, "Fine but don't you dare hurt a hair on his head, you got that!" Creeper nodded. Creeper then took Lele and the Royal Knights cuffed her up and locked her in the carriage. One of the Knights was holding Eriasu. Lele then shouted, "Hey, put him down!" Creeper started shaking his head and said, "Oh no no no. Our agreement was to not hurt him, I didn't mention anything about capturing him." Lele then bursted out of rage, "You bastard!" The Royal Guards took Lele away. Creeper then took Eriasu from the Royal Guard and locked him up in a cave. While they entered the Forest of No Return, Lele was curled up into a ball and was crying. Out of nowhere, she starts to hear fire and lightning. She sees that the guards are all gone and Eren breaks the cage open. Lele then asks, "Who are you guys?" Eren smiles and says, "I am Eren Ross, and that is Erma and her over there is Crystal." Lele then asked, "Why did you rescue me?" Erma responded, "We saw you curled up into a ball in a cage as if you were an animal by those filthy Royal Knights." Eren then opens a portal back to their hideout. Eren says, "Come with us, it's safer to be with us than it is out here." Crystal then says, "They took my son. I'm not going to let them get away with this!" Erma replies, "They also took my son. Crystal then says, "They took all of our sons. We will get them back, even if it kills us." Lele then nodded her head and joined them.
We now go back to the present where Lele was telling Maikeru and Eren what happened. Lele says, "And that is what happened. I don't think that I'm going to make it as well." Lele then was losing too much blood. Eren then closes his eyes and lowers his head. Lele then says to Maikeru, "Maikeru, you have grown stronger, I can sense it. Rescue our sons. We love you as…. our own...son….." Lele then passes away. I picked up Lele and walked outside, then I put her down. I turned around and looked at Eren and I asked him, "Can you use your spatial magic to make three graves so we can at least give them a proper send off?" Eren replied, "Yeah." Eren uses his spatial magic to make three graves, then we picked up Lele and gently put her in the left hole then filled the hole with dirt. After that I picked up Erma and Eren picked up Crystal. I put Erma in the right hole and Eren put Crystal in the middle. We both filled the holes with dirt then I grabbed rocks, trying to form a cross on top of their grave. After we finished, we bowed our heads and we both said, "Thank you for everything you have done for us." I continued saying, "Help me become stronger than I am before I am truly grateful for everything. You guys are family, thank you for accepting me into your life." Then Eren continues saying, "Thank you for being on my side Lele, Erma, Crystal, and Maikeru. You four are the most important people in my life. I know I was stubborn and I don't plan to change my way but I do plan to protect the people I care about. I will never forget about you and thank you."
Narrator: After Lele said her final word, Maikeru and Eren created three graves so Crystal, Lele, and Erma can have a proper burial.
After we said our goodbyes, we walked away. I looked at Eren. He's struggling trying to hold in his energy and for me, my energy is about to burst out and then I fell to my knees and bursted out crying knowing this pain is way too much to hold in. I looked at Eren, seeing him shedding tears down from his face. I asked him, "Who is Despair, Night, and Creeper? Where did they come from?" Eren replied, "They are assassins from the kingdom you were banished from." I looked straight to where the direction led to the kingdom and said, "That place… you gotta be kidding…why do they always have to take everything away from me." I got up and my energy started to overflow and I started to get really pissed off and I continued saying in a very low tone, "They have to pay." Eren asked, "What did you say?" I replied, " I said...THEY HAVE TO PAAAAAAYYYYYYY RRRRRAAAAHHHHH!!!" An enormous amount of energy started to pour out of me. Eren shielded his face so dust wouldn't get on his face. From far away in the kingdom, King Ellington III, Prince Richard, Luke, Sana, Lyon, Creeper, Night, and the worst of all Despair. They all sense an unfamiliar energy but for Despair he already knows where this energy is coming from. Despair looked at Creeper and Night and said, "Finally he's here. Now things are going to get a lot more interesting." Back at the forest Eren noticed my energy was pouring out so he made a portal and grabbed me and threw me through the portal after Eren sensed multiple people coming so he leapt into the portal and then closed it.
After Eren closed his portal he said, "That was close, if I hadn't opened the portal we would've been hunted down." I looked at Eren with tears still dripping down my face and said, "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! This is all my fault! If I was strong enough we would have stayed and all of this would be prevented!" Eren replied, "Even though that does happen, fate will never go away. *Sigh*… right now we can't leave because they are all on a hunt for us so we got to stay here for a bit. Great, can these days get any worse." I replied, "Hey Eren, what do you mean we will be staying here for a bit? How long is a bit?" Eren replied, "Again we're being hunted and we got nowhere to stay, also we might have to be here until the tournament." I turned my head and looked at my surroundings and all I saw were fruits, animals, and trees that are five times bigger than me except for the river. It was normal, but something feels off. I looked back at Eren and he said, "Yup everything is surrounded with extreme energy but this is safer than where we used to be." I understand what he is saying but this is crazy. I feel like anywhere I go something might pop out and kill me. In my head I said, "Why does bad stuff always happen to me?" Eren stood up and said, "Something is coming." I jumped up and tried to see who was coming. THUM!! THUM!! THUM!! When me and Eren turned around, there was a giant elephant. Eren said, "At least we have food for a whole month."
