Chapter 11 - Chapter 11

I charged at the elephant and right before I punched it. BAM! There was a barrier surrounding the elephant. My eyes widened and then the elephant swung its head to the right. At that moment I realize what it is trying to do so I cross my arms and prepare myself. Then the elephant swings its head to the left trying to go for an attack when its trunk makes contact with me and it pushes me away for a few yards crashing into trees. I got up and I heard Eren yelling, "The elephant is coming after you!" When I turned around I saw the elephant charging through the trees coming straight towards me. In my head I said, "Okay, I know that I can try slicing it in half, but I don't want to keep putting my trust in my katana and I don't want to use my power either ugh.. so much to think about, I'm just going to hit it with a sneak attack." So I jumped trying to fly but I fell right back down. While I got up, I heard Eren trying to say something but he was too far away. So I jumped in the air and made an after image, but the elephant grabbed my leg with its trunk then it pulled me down, slamming me into the ground then it let go of my legs and started to make elephant noises very loudly. While the elephant was screaming, I jumped to the elephant and I grabbed its tusk then right when I was about to bring it down, it started to charge through the trees trying to make me let go and get trembled on. After crashing through the trees, the elephant starts shaking its head to the side up and down repeatedly. In my head I said, "Don't let go! Don't let go!" Then after a few shakes the elephant stopped all of a sudden. Then in a split second the elephant wrapped its trunk around my waist then pulled me making me let go of its tusk. It then throws me in the air. In my head I said, "I think if I hit it at the same spot with a barrage of punches, the barrier will break and I can damage the elephant." I started to fall down then when I got close to the elephant I threw a punch aiming for the elephant's head. BAM! But of course the barrier blocked it so I used a barrage of punches hitting it on the same spot again and again. Not slowing down, it started to crack. When I notice the crack I start screaming, "BREAAAK AAAARRGGHH!!!" The elephant's barrier started to break but I continued beating up the elephant. My emotions got the best of me and I started aimlessly hitting the elephant. After a few minutes of hitting the elephant, I was covered in blood, my hands felt numb, and my voice hurt. Then I fell to my knees and started bursting out crying. Eren came near the elephant and in his head he said, "Welp this elephant is dead and also we now have dinner, but what was really amazing was that you beat up a wild elephant with just strength only and what is so great about this place is that it self heals so no matter what happens the next day it will look like nothing has ever happened."

Narrator: After Maikeru Pulverise the Giant Elephant, Eren had something important to remind Maikeru.

Eren walked up to me and he said, "Maikeru I know how hard it is to lose Crystal, Lele, and Erma, but right now the tournament will be happening next year and forget being in the top four, be number one and win the whole tournament!" I got up and started wiping the tears off my face and in a low tone I said, "I'll win…" Eren put his hand on his ear and said, "I can't hear you." I looked Eren in the eyes and I yelled, "I SAID I WILL WIN!!!" Eren replied, "That's more like it! When you win, that's when we'll start planning our revenge on the kingdom." I replied, "Everyday is going to be training…none stop… no matter what, I will get stronger." Eren stood up and said while dusting himself off, "Alright we have a lot to do today so come on Michael we are going to be here till the tournament starts." The next day, I was running through the woods because I was getting chased down by a wild hog and the reason why I getting chased is because Eren and I was hungry and we saw the bushes starting to move and a wild hog walked out when I turned my head to look at Eren to see if he had a game plan, but Eren disappeared and all I saw was a letter and it said, "Dear Maikeru, I want to let you know that I went to the capital to talk to Luke, also I lost the left over elephant and we have no food, can you take care of the hogs please and yes there are more than one hog. P.S. There will be a smoke screen coming in 3…2…1." BOOM! A giant smoke screen came out of nowhere so I didn't waste any time. I got up and I started running away from the hogs and in a few seconds the hogs started to catch up to me. After a few minutes in my head I said, "Damn this hog has hella stamina, but I don't want this to last too long. When I go past that tree I'm going to hit it with fifty percent of my strength." When I passed the tree I turned around and right when I was about to throw a punch, the hog aura came out red BAM! My eyes widened when I made contact with the hog but it was pushed back with the same force I'm hitting it with. Then the two hogs jump out of hiding and ram me, I fell to the ground, but got up quickly and in my head I said, "This is way too early in the freaking morning, also its very hard to concentrate so I'm going to use my Darkness Spheres and beat them to death." I raised up my hand and said, "Darkness Spheres!" Eight black spheres came out and right after they had the target locked on, I threw them. Right when I threw the Darkness Spheres, they went right for the hogs and started beating their ass down, so I sat down and let my Spheres do all the work. After a few minutes, I started to hear nothing. When I turned my head around I saw that my Darkness Spheres disappeared and when I saw the hogs they were dead. I sighed in relief knowing that it was over. In my head I said, "One year huh….and everyday is going to be a wild beast coming to kill us, also it confirms that every beast has a power and no matter what they are, they are all professionals using it, but if this can help me get stronger I don't mind it. I trust Eren and that's all." So I picked up the hogs and took them to the base one by one.

At Luke's mansion, Eren uses a portal to arrive at Luke's mansion. Luke and Eren are sitting in the living room facing each other. Eren was telling Luke what happened at the base yesterday and what happened to Crystal, Lele, and Erma. After Eren finished talking about yesterday, Luke got up and walked to Eren. Then Luke gave Eren a hug and Luke said while crying, "I'm sorry for all that happened to you. Back in the days, you were known as a hero of the kingdom and best friends with the previous king. None of these bad things were your fault." Eren interrupts Luke yelling, "YES IT IS!!! All THE DEATHS WERE ALL MY FAULT!!! WHOEVER I TOOK IT ENDED UP DYING!!!" Luke interrupts Eren shouting, "ALL THE DEATHS THAT OCCURED WAS FOR THE GREAT OR GOOD TO PROTECT YOU! THEY CHOSE TO HELP YOU INSTEAD OF RUNNING AWAY OR BETRAYING YOU!!! ALL OF THEM WANT YOU TO SAVE MORE PEOPLE! RESPECT THEIR WISHES AND DON'T LET THEIR DEATHS BE IN VAIN!!" Eren's eyes widened with shock and said, "When did you start being brave? Weren't you the person who ran away from every battle and gambled way too much?" Eren smiled and the same for Luke. Luke said, "What are you going to do for now?" Eren replied, "Me and Maikeru are hiding in another world and he is training because he is going to enter the Youth Fighting Tournament and after he wins, me and him are going to plan our revenge on the kingdom." Luke had an understanding look and replied, "I won't stop you or stand in your way, but what I'm really curious about is what are you going to do for yourself?" Eren opened a portal and he looked back to Luke and said, "I'm going to do what I always wanted to do and that is to surpass all limits and become even stronger than before!" Then Eren jumped through the portal and closed it.

Back in the other world, I was relaxing at the base and a portal appeared right above me then BAM! Eren fell right on top of me. Eren got up and said, "Huh that's weird, I thought I'll be landing on the floor." I angrily replied, "GET OFF OF ME!" Eren quickly got up and noticed that he landed on me. Eren said, "Oops sorry about that." I got up from the ground and said, "What did you and Luke talk about?" Eren replied, "Oooh the usual, but right now we both need to keep training and become the strongest being without failure." I gave Eren a nice grin and said, "I know that already, but do you think fighting these beasts will help us throughout this one year?" Eren replied, "Yes, but I think it will be effective for only six months." I replied, "Okay so what are we going to do after six months?" Eren replied, "We start destroying mountains till we are able to one shot them and we'll be sparing with swords so you can get better with your katanas, first thing is you'll start with one then you'll be using two." In my head I said, "I was surprised that Eren has a plan for these things and we both have a temporary goal and that is to destroy the kingdom, but what am I going to do with my parents? Do they deserve to be saved or die? I will decide what will happen by seeing their reactions." Eren looks at me and says, "So tell me, did you gain any information about this place?" I replied, "It confirmed that every animal has a type of power, but they're all different and the plants, trees, ground, mountain, and etc. get rebuilt with strong energy." Eren smiles and says, "Good so this place is perfect for the both of us." Then I was concerned about something so I asked, "Hey Eren, what are you going to do in the kingdom?" Eren replied, "Oh it's a little secret, but I will find you in no time after you finish the school of royalty." I was shocked and said, "WHAT!!! I have to stay there for four years?" Eren replied, "Yes, it's good for you to gather some information about them." I replied, "Ugh, I just hope they can entertain me."

One year later, the day before the tournament, Eren walked up to me while I was sleeping. Then he knelt down and started shaking me. I woke up and said, "Wha..what's going on?" I was looking around half asleep trying to see who woke me up. Then when I looked at Eren, he smiled and he said, "Maikeru wake up! Tomorrow is the tournament and we have to go to Luke's mansion!" I replied, "why are you waking me up at the crack of dawn and also why are we going to Sir Luke's mansion?" Eren replied, "Just don't worry about the small stuff okay." Eren opens a portal beside me and puts a fingerless glove with a red gem in the middle then he pushes me through the portal and I land on a sofa and Eren jumps through the portal then lands on the other side of the sofa. When I fixed myself trying to sit down straight I looked in front of me and saw Luke sitting down. Luke says, "Ahhh Maikeru, I can tell you have gotten a lot stronger and you look different as well." I replied, "Good Morning Sir Luke and yes I do look different. I am 15 years old now by the way. Eren and Luke smile and Eren says, "Oh Luke don't you have a gift for Maikeru?" I gave out a confused look and Luke replied, "Ahh yes I do." Sir Luke clapped his hands three times and Sir Alex came in with some clothes. He then laid it out on the table. In my head I said, "Hold up, this is mine, but is it just a plain shirt and pants?" Sir Luke says, "I know all you see is just a plain shirt and pants, but there is more to it. When you put it on tomorrow it will change color and also change into your battle gear." My eyes widened with excitement and I replied, "What do you mean about the color change?" Luke replied, "When it changes color it shows the color of your power, that's mostly it." Then Eren says, "Tomorrow is the tournament Maikeru and all I want you to do is to relax here okay. Also I already signed the papers for you so we just need to be there on time."
