Chapter 16 - Pride and Honor!

The meeting gets more heated and intense we can see a lot of back and forth between Suto, and the other members of the table, we know Suto stands strong to help Kaze, but the others do not think it's a good idea. The meeting closes with a very angry Suto, and he debriefs everyone and sends them out, Kaze and Mizu head out of the door and notice Leo and Lance propped up against the wall "You kids again?" Mizu states with a smile. Leo gets up close to Mizu and looks pissed off then slugs Mizu and sends him flying backwards but Mizu gets ahold of his footing. "TAKE IT OUTSIDE" Suto yells at the four of them. Outside Kaze and Mizu face-off against Leo and Lance. Suddenly all four of them disappear and nothing but metal clanging is heard as they are clashing together at extreme speeds. "Not bad, you two really improved" Mizu smiles. "Light Magic: Shining Flash" Lance launches a flurry of spear thrust towards Kaze. "Dance of Death: Bloody Summer" Kaze counters and the two are clashing and clashing till Lance is hit off guard taking a thrust that just pushes him back. Mizu comes in and rocks Lance with a solid punch to the gut sending him flying while holding Leo and tossing him , both get up and charge in "Holy Magic: Paladins Wrath, Second Form: Holy cloak" Lance moves at an absolutely abnormal speed that catches Kaze off guard, but not enough and Kaze grabs the spear tip with his hands. "Mizu and Leo are seen getting into a punching match that results in Leo injuring his hands severely so he pulls out his axe and Mizu and him begin clashing creating pulsating shockwaves with each swing. "Damn kid, this is starting to get enjoyable." Mizu is smiling as the struggle between him and Leo continue "Flame Magic: Drought" Mizu begins to get dizzy. "Flame Magic: Flame Aura, Second Form: Wildfire" Both Leo and Lance have raised their power exponentially, Kaze and Mizu are relieved that they go a bit overboard. "Dance of Death: Scarlet Wind!" Kaze sends the slash that hits Lance head on sending him flying back with a thud knocking him out. "I held back so he should be fine." Kaze sheathes his sword. We look back just moments earlier, we see Mizu about to clash with Leo. Mizu pumps up his arm and swings it towards Leo, Leo tries to block but is unable to being sent flying into a pile of boxes knocking him out. Kaze and Mizu walk over towards the two, and extend their hands helping them up. "Good fight you two, man I thought I was going to have to use more power, you had us going." Mizu and Kaze smile. "Thank you for allowing us to test our strength" Leo and Lance say together bowing their heads. Kaze and Mizu begin laughing which prompts Leo and Lance to laugh also. "That's one shard down, more to go." A dark figure holds up the shard and adds it to what looks to be an indent on the top of an ancient box that appears to be in an old ruins. "It won't be long Lord Abaddon, it won't be long." a faint whisper is heard. Kaze, and Mizu help Leo and Lance up as they all smile and are quite intrigued by each others strength and determination. "You two are strong, lets to this again after you have trained yourselves more." Mizu states as Kaze nods his head with excitement. They all suddenly look over towards a wooded area near the west of the castle with murderous intent. "Did you feel that?" Leo asks "Yeah it was as if we were being watched." Kaze states. We can see a figure dash off into the distance, heading towards the wastelands in the west. "Lord Xoroku, did you gauge their abilities yet?" a snickling fiend of a voice comes through as it talks into a crystal ball. "Yeah, we need to get the shards quick, my observation is that this enemy is of the same bloodline as that troublesome Oni from long ago." Xoroku states. "Doryu Desu, the Oni King as they called him, I thought his wife and child were killed." Xoroku then breaks the crystal ball as we see the fiend head off into the distance. "Sir Hala, can I come to your castle? We have to talk." Xoroku asks politely. "Sure, but if its about that child, he is your problem, I simply did what any neutral party would do. Train him so I can watch you two get in each others ways. Oh if you come with any animosity towards my castle, I will kill you without hesitation, you know my rules." Hala laughs as we can see a castle on a cliff within a cavern.
