Asu Continent, Mandarin empire…
Group of mountains, Mount Shizukesa…
Top…
- Alfred (in Arthur's mind) "Okay boss, use the art of a thousand armies, he will certainly have difficulties."
- Butler (watches Arthur with a penetrating gaze) "Who is he talking to?": Come on! (he wonders, his curiosity piqued by the sudden change in Arthur's posture)
- Arthur Treadway (using the absolute substitution technique, and with one fluid movement, advances, channeling the energy of The Thousand Armies Art into a punch aimed at Butler, smiles) "Finally, after months of not being able to touch him…"
- Butler (the impact of the punch is strong, but he just smiles): Just needs more strength!
- Arthur Treadway (using the substitution technique, and The Art of a Thousand Armies, trying to hit Butler, sighs)
- Butler (dodging, worried) "Where did he learn this art?": That's the total sacrifice! Surrendering means freeing yourself from yourself! Free your ambitious mind! (puts his hand on Arthur's chest, pushes him)
- Arthur Treadway (is pushed 10 feet away, surprised) "Butler is strong! He is capable of fighting for days without tiring, he is always alert, and hitting him hurts, as if he were made of adratium…": What is your level of prowess?
- Butler (looks at Arthur, laughing): If I said, your mind would not understand. I'm above the Legendary Master level. I am a titan, unfortunately I am the titan of knowledge, not too strong... "If he isn't the chosen one I will simply kill him. He knows too much."
- Arthur Treadway (annoyed and confused): Isn't so strong that it took a Supreme Grand Master months to just touch you. I'm starting to think you let me punch you. And about the titans, what do they look like…? (thinking)
- Butler (sighs): Of course you've had, now go do 600 push-ups, 300 sit-ups and go up and down the mount 500 times.
- Arthur Treadway (stunned, sighs): Again? Ahh…
- Butler (smiles): It is good for you, little master. Or do you want to explode? To have this power you need a prepared body, not just anyone can have it, now go…
- Arthur Treadway (annoyed, starts doing push-ups): One, two, three, four, five… (counting) "He is enjoying this..."
1 month later…
Somewhere in the world…
On a hidden continent, a kingdom…
Capital, royal palace…
Throne room…
- King (seated on a throne adorned with precious stones)
- A soldier (in golden armor, crouches): Sovereign, it is urgent! There are two things…
- King (looks at the soldier, with his hand on his chin): Speak!
- The soldier (nervous at the magnitude of his words): Arose one stigma around the world. We detected traces of Stigma energy some time ago, we just wanted to have solid information to be able to present to the king. The second thing, The Essence of Light is active, we managed to sense signs...
- King (surprised and excited): A stigma? The Essence of Light? (laughing happily, he exclaims, his voice echoing off the palace walls): This is a dream…
- King (looks at the soldier, smiling): Man, go tell everyone that today is a party day in Asgard. The war will end!
- The soldier (crouches, smiles): As you wish sovereign… (walks away)
- King (excited): Two such entities? Stigma, after 800 years? And the Power of the Light after 1000 years?
Asu Continent, Mandarin empire…
East coast, Protoss Island…
Royal palace, entrance…
Refugee tents…
- Selena Glayder (with baskets in her hands, surprised by the number of people, looks around, sighs): There are thousands of tents, will we be able to feed everyone?
- Princess Alexia Aesir (with baskets in her hands, and an optimistic smile, looks at Selena): Of course not! Let's give as many people as possible, we won't be able to reach everyone...
- Mayara (annoyed, with her hands in her coat pockets, observes the scene with disdain) "Waste of time…" (murmurs, his patience clearly tested)
- Princess Alexia Aesir (greeting people, smiles, leaves the baskets on the floor, starts giving people food): Hello, how are you?
- A family (sitting close to a tent, smile, receiving food): We're hungry, we knew this was a good place to stay, we walked from the cold lands of United Kingdom to here...
- Selena Glayder (giving food, greeting people and smiling): Here you go…
- Mayara (annoyed, realizes that a child is looking at her, crouches down, faces the child): Do you want to die? Can I take out your eyes and teeth?
- Child (scared, looking at Mayara, shakes his head)
- Mayara (annoyed, scares the child with her sharp teeth and reptilian eyes): Buh!
- Child (jumps out of fright, he runs to a tent): Mommy…
- Princess Alexia Aesir (annoyed, looks at Mayara): Mayara! Stop it, leave that aggression for your battles… (continues to feed people)
- Mayara (annoyed, sighs): Yes mom! People can't have fun here, lame...
- Selena Glayder (serving people, smiles): Alexia, and you? Any suitors?
- Princess Alexia Aesir (surprised, blushes, continues serving people): What kind of conversation is that, Selena? In the right time you'll know…
- Mayara (annoyed, following the two, observing Alexia) "Although she has changed a lot in recent times, she has become taller, her body developed, her hair has grown a lot, she looks like a Viking, but extremely beautiful and delicate…": Are you sure Alexia? Your age is passing by...
- Princess Alexia Aesir (serving people, annoyed): Ahh please, both of you! I'm going to be 22 years old this year, not everyone has to get married as soon as they turn 18. Now you Mayara, Tristan?
- Mayara (annoyed): Shut up, blondie! Shut your mouth! Don't talk about that kid!
- Alexia and Selena (serving people, laughing): Kid? Isn't he 18? You're the same age as him...
- Mayara (annoyed, walking away): AHHHH!!! I'm tired of this!
- Alexia and Selena (laughing, continue to serve)
- Some people (injured and dirty, receiving food, crying): Thank you very much, ladies...
Group of mountains, Mount Shizukesa…
Top, waterfall…
- Arthur Treadway (training. Using the absolute substitution technique to move Qi through his body and learn the 14th movement of the Thousand Armies Art, sighs) "Only 1 month left..."
- Butler (approaches, watching Arthur's training with a mix of surprise and pride): You surprise me, little master. You truly are special, but I still don't know how much…
- Arthur Treadway (training, sighs): We're all special in some way, aren't we?
- Butler (smiles, looking at Arthur) "This is going to be difficult! More for me than for you, little master…": It's true, you've been learning, it's good to know that I haven't been talking to myself for the last month…
- Arthur Treadway (stops training, picks up a leaf while the wind blows, sighs) "This place, I'm starting to think that I'm sacrificing myself here…"(asks himself, contemplating the future that awaits him)
- Butler (sighs): Little master, now that we're going to finish, I want to give the last thoughts. First, I am not a soldier, I will probably be your butler, I would not like to be confused…
- Arthur Treadway (smiles, nods): Understood…
- Butler (sad): Let's train! (stops in front of Arthur)
- Arthur Treadway (in fighting stance): Come on!
Minutes later…
- Arthur Treadway (using the 4th movement of the Divine Solar Emperor Art, manifests Qi to reduce his density. Double kicks Butler in the face)
- Butler (defending, gives Arthur a super punch, sighs)
- Arthur Treadway (thrown away, his core breaks. With difficulty to breath, feels his Qi draining away): Ahh!
- Alfred (in Arthur's mind) "Boss, the core was completely destroyed…"
- Arthur Treadway (on the ground, with a fearful look on his eyes and difficulty to breath)
- Butler (looking at Arthur struggling on the ground, sighs): So, it's your core that makes you who you are? Haven't you learned yet?! Stop fighting and everyone you love dies!
- Butler (sighs, squats in front of Arthur): So, it's your Qi? And now? Now that you don't have Qi what are you going to do?
