Nine years had passed since the event of Yami's death and the Heroes removal from the now Queendom of Goktuna. Each of them split off, going where they're from. Somewhere in the Hope Kingdom a young party of adventurers are sitting in the guild waiting for their reward. "Can I go wait outside? I'm bored just sitting here.." A tall man stood with red hair and pear green eyes, he pushed his hand through his hair, bored. He wore a steel chest plate, a green shirt and black pants with armor knee plates, two daggers one on each side and a shield on his back with a family crust on it. "You can wait a little longer idiot, how long are they going to take, brains?" A girl who had blond hair and purple eyes had her arms crossed leaning against the guild's wall waiting. She wore the same armor as the taller guy but had no weapon. Her hair was up in a ponytail and had a fearsome tone. A person with glasses sighs, "I told you not to call me that... and it shouldn't be long, she should be out soon." He pushed up his glasses while moving his hair, battleship gray out of the way of his face, his eyes were emperor yellow. He wore a white sage coat with white pants. "Tch, fine." She smacks her teeth while looking annoyed at him. "Sorry for keeping you all waiting, did you get a new commission?" A girl with long light green hair and blue eyes with a gold and white royal knight outfit. "Yes, Princess.", "Yeah Lucy got it.", "Next mission is to get horns from a bull beast, so overall it'll take a few days." The person with glasses explained. "Thank you Kei, and Kenji get your feet down you don't want the guild master to come out here and yell at us again do you?" She kicks his legs off the table. "Sorry, sorry. You were taking so long Eiko." He takes his legs down while yawning. "Is that the S-rank team, New Moon?!", "Aren't they still in the academy and already an S-rank team?" Someone shouted, making Lucy annoyed. "Let's hurry and leave before they start asking to join.." Eiko nods.
The team walks towards the front door, they hear someone yelling, "What did I just say! You know what, enough yelling, let's just go in." The door opens, as the young team walks out crossing paths with this person. His black hair being blown by the wind that he just let in and looking forward before locking eyes with Eiko, they stare at each other. His green eyes locked with her own blue eyes, he was with an elf who was speaking to him, she had blond hair and gray eyes. They continue to walk, they move towards the front desk as Eiko's team walks out. "Let's go!", "We have a long way to go, we can stop by a few villages on the way. Let's try to make it back before the academy break is over." They all plan the route. Eiko stands there with thoughts going through her mind, she feels something familiar from the guy. Eiko shakes her head turning back to face her team. "I need to sleep more.."
A few hours earlier, in the forest a boy with black hair covering his eyes sat on a rock as an elf girl with blond hair and gray eyes standing below him. "Are you done yet? Sarya?" The boy asked, the elf girl known as Sarya had her eyes closed focusing. From her facial expression that she was getting annoyed. He's now hanging upside down from a tree now "Sarya, are we close?" Sarya whips around throwing a dagger at him, he quickly catches the blade with ease. "That would've been bad." He jumps down out of the tree still holding the blade, he lands on the ground handing the dagger back to Sarya. "I hate you, so much.." Sarya took the dagger from him, fixing her face she pointed in one direction. "That way is where we need to go. The Kingdom Of Hope is there, so that means I can leave as soon as I'm done." She said walking forward into that direction. The boy stood there placing his hands behind his head and following behind her. "You can stay if you want, Princess. I'll protect you with my body and soul~" The boy bounced around her in a joking manner. "Can you stop?!" Sarya shouted with her face red from either embarrassment or anger. "You're always so fun to pick on, Sarya." The boy laughs as he stops messing with her, he stops laughing and looks to the right. "What now? Did you bite your tongue? If you did that's what you get." Sarya turned around looking for the boy but he's gone. Boom; an explosion was heard not far from Sarya, she rushes to the location, she gets there with a sword out. "What the hell?" Sarya saw horses with a carriage and knights surrounding it like they're protecting it, most of them are hurt. "What happened here?!" Sarya asked the men who looked away from the hill for a second. She was next to them pointing her blade at them. "W-Who are you?", "Just answer my damn question!" A guy with violet eyes and silver hair stepped out to answer Sarya. "We were going to the Hope Kingdom for a meeting with The King but we were attacked by a dragon, some guy came out of nowhere and punched it in the face, I never thought I would see such a thing." Sarya takes the blade away from the knight's neck but still holds onto tightly. "That idiot! He was told not to stick out! Anyway (Holds up an arm as a green hue covers them) who are you?" Sarya asked the guy and he fixed his collar. "Ahem, My lady, I am the Prince of The Kingdom Alethea, Eguchi Koshiro. I came looking forward to meeting the King and Princess of Hope Kingdom." Eguchi bowed trying to charm Sarya, she just stared at him in dumbfounded disbelief. "Young Master!" One of the knights points out the boy with the dragon near an open field. Sarya vanishes from their sight surprising them all.
The boy lands on the ground making his hair go up and his eyes are blue, he smiles while looking up at the dragon. Sarya runs up next to him. "Are you dumb?! I swear he told you to remain low, Simon!" Sarya shouted at Simon but he could only smile. "I can't sit back and let these people get hurt, even if they are nobles." Simon replied, Sarya looks at him. "Your face is red, Sarya.", "Shut up!" Sarya pulls out her sword swinging at Simon, he dodges it, her swings slashed at the ground, cutting it. Simon jumps back, the dragon catches him in its hand. "Crap.." The dragon slams him into the ground over and over again, snapping Sarya out of her embarrassment swings. "Simon!?" The dragon walks over to Sarya who calls for Simon. "Thanks to your little 'boyfriend' over there causing me to miss my meal. So you'll do, elf." Sarya locked eyes with the dragon and an aura of evergreen surrounding her body, her sword was covered in the same aura. "What did you just say...?" The scales of the dragon were red with terrifying black eyes, it smiled at Sarya with interest. "That mana flow, you aren't any ordinary elf are you? You'll probably taste way better then!" The dragon attacks Sarya but she side-steps dodging the attack and runs towards. "Charging me head on? Come on!" The dragon swings at Sarya and she slashes the air multiple times, cutting the dragon's arm. "Tch, pretty good!" Sarya looks to the side seeing the other fist, she jumps over it cutting that arm, she pushes off the air going towards the dragon. "Enigma Fang!" Sarya bounces all over the place going towards the dragon but he grins, he opens his mouth and a small ball that grows and grows inside of his mouth appears. Sarya notices it and can't move out of the way in time. "It was fun while it lasted.. Annihilation!" The dragon shoots a beam towards Sarya, her eyes widened as it comes towards her.
The beam shot straight clearing trees, and a small farm near the Kingdom of Hope. "That's what they get for standing against me, Lothain, The Legendary Abyss Dragon! Such... weaklings can never stand up to someone like me." The dragon was about to fly away, a voice called out to it. "Hey, lizard face, you almost blasted my best friend away. Can you apologize for that?" Lothain turned around, Simon stood there holding Sarya in his arms, black electricity surging around his body. "You're still alive? How can that be? And how did you grab the elf on time?" Lothain asked Simon. Simon placed Sarya on the ground as she looked up at him. "You almost got hurt, I'm glad I woke up in time." Simon said to her with a grin, she grabbed his arm stopping him from walking forward. "Simon, drop the act, that 'thing' is something your body can't handle that type of 'energy'." Sarya stares at Simon with an angered look. "No worries, I worked hard enough to use it so I'll be fine. And besides, I'm the guy who has to protect you with my body and soul~" Simon replied with a smile. "Just don't die, I'll get an ear full if you do." He gives her a thumbs up, he walks forward pushing his hair back showing his green eyes, blood drips down from his head. "Let me heal you at least." She walks over to him but he stops her. "It's fine, I like the thrill." Simon turns around walking towards Lothain. Sarya sighs watching him walk towards the dragon.
"You humans, the weakest and yet you're stepping up to me? You must hate your life-" Simon appears in the face of Lothain, he does a downward axe-kick making Lothain look down, Simon quickly moves to the side of him with a fist. Lothain swings his tail to attack Simon, "Got you!" Simon catches it. "How did you?!" Simon swings him around before throwing him into the air. Simon cracks his knuckles with a huge grin, he bins down and bounces off the ground with so much force he makes a small crater. He was so fast he appears above Lothain, Simon does a downward punch with one fist coated in black electricity. Lothain slowly looks up and sees Simon above him with a smile. "(How is this human so fast!)" The electricity fully covers his fist. "I don't know how this goes... oh yeah! DAWNING SMASH!" The electricity around his fist slowly starts to swirl and Simon brings down his fist slamming it into Lothain's back shooting him to the ground. BOOM; he came down like a meteor, smashing into the ground, the wind from the explosion blew so hard the Prince and his knights had to hold onto something, Sarya stood her ground but had her arms up blocking herself.
Smoke covered the open area, Simon landed on the ground from being in the air, as he landed his vision started to get dizzy and the black electricity dissipated. "Maybe I overdid it.." He walked forward and saw a figure. "Sarya, now I'll take that healing please and thank you~" The figure doesn't respond, Simon was about to call out again but a voice called him from behind him. "Simon!? Is that you?" Simon turned back and saw Sarya, as he turned around the figure was in front of him. He towered over Simon, his black eyes and cream hair that matches his clothes, he looked like a noble. "You.... HUMAN!" He grabs Simon by the neck and lifted him up, Sarya rushed at him with her sword, she swings at him but he blocks it with his free arm, she moves quickly around him trying to hit him but he blocked all the attacks, she appears above him swinging downward, he catches the blade and looked up at her. "I'll deal with you later." The man throws Sarya to the side and looks back at Simon. "Maybe... we can talk... about this..?" The anger on his face is viable as Simon speaks. "DIE!!!" He was about to blast Simon with a beam from his mouth, Simon kicks off the man's face making him let go, Simon is sliding backward on the ground while on his feet. "I... didn't expect you to go into your human form." Simon said to the man who was Lothain but he was a human now. "I hate using such a body to kill flies like you." Lothain appears in front of Simon, his body stops moving like it's something forcing him not to move. Lothain grabbed Simon by the face with an evil grin on his face, he tossed Simon into the air, he readies himself, he jumps up punching Simon in the gut then with a right then followed it with a left, as he was falling Lothain grabbed Simon's hair slamming his face into the ground. Sarya appears behind Lothain and swings at him, he moves quickly grabbing her by the neck and throwing her back. "You want to die so bad, FINE." Sarya stands up holding her sword close to her saying something. Lothain snaps his fingers, creating black mana balls appear above him, he points at Sarya. "You'll die with your boyfriend!" Lothain fires the balls at Sarya, she slashes through them with ease making her way towards Lothain. She spins around, spinning like a spinning top using the moment to launch herself forward and slashing downward, he catches her blade as it comes closer towards his neck. "You're toying with me!? That'll be your death!" She lets go of the sword and jumps back but a beam follows her, she does a backflip dodging the attack. As she recovers another beam shoots towards her, she dodges that one and keeps dodging more that comes at her. She jumps up and notices many beams around her. "It's over!" The beams goes towards her, Simon pushes her out the way and he gets hit. "HOW THE HELL ARE YOU STILL MOVING!!" Lothain questions Simon. Simon stands there all beat up and bloody, he has a smile on his face. "I'm unkillable!" Sarya punches him in the arm. "Hurry up and end this you idiot! The guards will be on their way soon!" Simon itches the back of his head nervously. "Okay, this move will end it all.." The black electricity covered his body again, the electricity surged off his body as he stood there. "Tsk, just what magic is that? Lightning? Either way it won't affect me!" He started to laugh at Simon. "The real fight starts now." Simon's smile fades as he looks at Lothain readying himself to fight Lothain.
"....! (I can sense his mana... but what is this pressure he's emitting?! I can't lose!)" Multiple red mana balls appeared behind Lothain, Simon moved towards Lothain he got quicker and Lothain noticed. "DAMN IT!" Lothain shoots his beams at Simon, he dodges them with ease, he stops in front of Lothain. "Catch!" Sarya throws the dagger from before, Simon catches it. He took a step to the side vanishing, he circled around Lothain so fast he was seeing multiple of Simon's, Lothain swing at the one in front of him but it was a fake. Lothain kept swinging at many but none of them was the real Simon. "Show yourself!" Lothain yelled shooting beams at every afterimage of Simon they all hit the afterimages. "They're all fake?!" Lothain asks himself while looking at the afterimages, he looks towards Sarya. "You're wide open!" Lothain sprints towards Sarya, she just stands there. Simon appears in front of him with the dagger in his hand, his eyes glowing and having a serious face. "You're just a fake!" Lothain tries to walk forward but Simon stabs him in the right leg then he stabs him in the chest following it with three stabs in the neck and shoulders. Before Lothain could say anything Simon slashes at Lothain chest making an X then he stabs Lothain in his left leg making him stop moving. "KUGHH!" Simon steps on Lothain foot and he punches Lothain in the face once, he elbowed Lothain in the throat then he punched him on the chin, but he doesn't fall back because Simon is stepping on his foot, as he's coming back up Simon punches him with a left then right, he elbowed him in the gut then backhanded him following up with a three piece combo. Simon takes the dagger out Lothain's leg, Lothain pulls his arms up trying to block Simon, he slashed the dagger towards Lothain nothing happened but invisible slashes, slashed his arms to where it was tattered, he drops his arms and Simon threw the dagger into the sky, Simon pulls his fist back covering it in black electricity, "Brutal Killers Barrage.. Remember that." He punches Lothain in the chest and a Crack sound comes from him, the black electricity passes through Lothain's body throwing him back laying on his back with his eyes rolled back. Simon turns around catching his dagger, he breathes in then out and the electricity dissipates from Simon's body. "Show off, you didn't have to do all of that." Sarya told Simon, who had a smile on his face. "Did I overdo it?" He asked while stumbling, Sarya sighs in annoyance. "I could've handled it better and faster, but you just had to jump in and get hurt. Thanks for saving me.." Sarya said, looking away from Simon. "Oh~ The Princess is falling for the Prince charming~" Simon laughed at Sarya, she made a fist about to punch Simon, he closed his eyes reading himself, he felt something warm. "You're lucky you just got out of a fight.." She said healing Simon, pouting her face. The two stood there until someone yelled for them. "We finally made it up to you! Are you okay?" It was the Prince and his knights, they see Sarya ears noticing she's an elf and Simon's black hair and blue eyes. "That's the guy who punched the dragon!" One of the knights shouted, making the Prince walk to Sarya. "Will he attack us?" He asks hiding behind her, she pushes him in front of her bringing him face to face with Simon. He looks at him in fear but Simon looks at him with a smile. "Ohhhh! You're the guy I saved, with the knights." Simon stood up rotating his shoulder. "Y-Y-Yes, I'm Prince of The Kingdom Alethea, E-E-Eguchi Koshiro." Simon notices something, he shakes his head as his hair falls covering his eyes, he smiles at the Prince. "You don't have to be so nervous, I won't bite you. Plus I never knew I saved a Prince! You see Sarya, I'm helpful." Simon stood there in pride showing off in front of Sarya who rolled her eyes and started to walk away from them, Simon followed after her. "Where's the dragon?" They looked towards where Lothain's body should be but he wasn't there. Lothain leans up against a tree with his arms beaten and tattered and pretty much at death's door. Lothain had rage in his eyes, "I'll make you pay… YOU'LL DIE! I'LL KILL YOU WITH MY OWN HANDS!" Lothain said to himself with revenge in his eyes, in his soul.
Simon sneezes while walking with Sarya. "What's the matter with you now?" Sarya asked Simon, who sneezed randomly. "I don't know, you think master's talking about me?" Sarya rolls her eyes as they exit the forest and they walk down a path that leads to an open field, the Prince and his knights go past them. "Thank you two again! I hope we meet each other again!" They leave Simon and Sarya behind. "What a nice guy, he seemed our age." Sarya sighs, "Shut it. Let's hurry this up so I can go back." They walk down the path, Simon looks to the side seeing the aftermath of Lothain's beam he shot at Sarya. "That poor farm." Sarya turns to Simon looking at the farm herself. "It's fine, no one was hurt." Simon kept walking while thinking. "And how would you know that?" Sarya is visibly annoyed, she throws her hood over her head, hiding her ears. "I just am, if you can't tell the soil is bad and the place has no life." Simon nods while walking ahead of her, they reach over a hill and the Kingdom Of Hope is there looking beautiful. "Man this is bigger than the master mentioned." Sarya commented while looking at the huge kingdom and its walls, Simon grins. "Why are you smiling? What are you planning to do?!", "I can jump it." Sarya hits him on the head. "No! I can get us in, but after that we have to look for the Adventurers Guild and after that I'll go back." Simon sat on the ground with a bump on his head and his eyes watery. "Why can't you stay after that? You never gave me an honest reason." Simon jumps up and circled around Sarya, annoying her. They reached the front gate and it was as tall as the wall, two guards stood there dumbfounded looking at Simon and Sarya. "Who are you, state your name and show us your ID." Sarya removed her hood showing her ears and pulled something out her pocket, her blond hair and gray eyes had them stand up straight. "There's no need to show us, you're welcome to come in." They had nervousness in their voice and Simon raised his eyebrow confused. "Thank you, come on Simon." Sarya pulls her hood up and pulls Simon into the kingdom, as they walk in Simon's eyes light up as he sees the mix of people, demons, elves, and other races and kids of all types running around playing around. There are many tall buildings but the one that stands out the most is the castle with the green banners hung around with the kingdom's crust in the middle of the banner. Sarya is still pulling Simon, they walk into an alleyway avoiding the people. "Why are we hiding?" Simon asked, leaning up against the wall, Sarya pulled her hood down and turned to Simon who is a little bit taller than her. She stared into his eyes which was being covered by his hair making him raise his eyebrow again, she grabbed his collar pulling him closer to her. Two random elves walk by seeing them, "Get a room. I swear kids nowadays just be public." They told the two and walked away, what really happened was they were close together. "At least take me out on a date. For a quiet person, you like to take charge, huh?" Sarya noticed how close they were and her face switched to red, Simon smiled at her. As Sarya looks around then walking away with a red face, Simon is through a wall knocked out.
Simon wakes up, he sits up looking back and forth for Sarya. "How long was I out for? Hey, where did you go?" He gets up and runs out the alleyway looking for Sarya, he walks around lost until he finds a fountain with Sarya sitting nearby throwing bread at the birds. "Since when did you have enough time to get bread?" Simon walks over, two elves step in his way. "Can I help you gentlemen?", "We can't let you near the Princess." Simon itches his head in confusion. "What do you mean? Sarya isn't a Princess, she is just some hot-headed girl who likes to hit people." One of the guards steps up, quickly pulling out their sword, Simon grabs the blade with ease. "Was that an accident?" Simon asked the one who pulled out his sword. "A fight in such a place isn't wise, and you wouldn't want to get embarrassed in front of this so-called 'Princess', am I right?" Simon stares at the elf unbothered. "As much as I hate to say it, he's right. We'll ruin our relationship with the Hope Kingdom, if we continue any further." The one who didn't attack told the other and he pulled back putting his sword away. Simon pushes through them with a smile on his face, Sarya turns to him and he waves at her. "Will the Princess be safe, Aien? She's been missing for at least 13 years sir! We can't let her go with that monster!", "It's fine Abarat, we'll keep an eye on him and if needed we'll kill him." Aien replied, informing Abarat that everything will be fine.
It's now midday, Sarya and Simon are walking towards the guild, there's an open area with people and kids running around and the guild on the other side of them. "So that's it right? I can't wait!" Simon starts to move forward, Sarya stops causing Simon to turn around. "What did they say to you..?" Sarya stood there looking down at the ground with her arm across her chest grabbing the other as if she's nervous. "What are you talking about now?", "Tell me the truth Simon!" Sarya looked up and she had tears in her eyes. Simon sighs at her, he crosses his arms and taps his foot like he's thinking. "Are you actually a Princess...?" Simon said with a serious face, Sarya starts to tremble. "Yes… I know how much you hated nobles and gods... but there's a reason I didn't tell you anything. I'm the third Princess of the Elven Kingdom, Princess Sarya Yeslar.." The tears from her eyes flowed down her face, Simon walked over to her and she closed her eyes afraid of what would happen. Simon pulls her in for a hug. "And let me guess you thought I was going to be mad at you? Come on Sarya, I already had a feeling you were. I only hate nobles who don't do anything for the people, plus there's only one Princess I hate. I don't know nor do I remember but my body just tells me, so stop crying, people are going to get the wrong idea. It's bad enough I have black hair." Simon smiles at Sarya and her tears stop. "G--G-Good! Even if you did, I would just kick your ass anyway!" She replied looking away from Simon. "Righttt, I totally believe you." Simon laughs as they walk towards the Guild. They stop in front of the door, Simon looks at the sign above it. "So, we finally made it to the Adventurers Guild!" Sarya slaps him on the back of the head. "Keep it down, stop yelling all the time!" A fake tear goes down Simon's face, "Did you just yell?!", "What did I just say! You know what, enough yelling, let's just go in." Simon opens the door as the two head into the guild, as they opened the door they cross paths with a girl with light green hair and blue eyes who had others following behind her, Simon turns to look at this girl, his green eyes locks with hers. For a moment it's like time stopped for a second, then kept going as they kept walking. Simon shakes his head, "I must be tired.."
