In a twisted turn of events, Taiki, the once revered sensei of Trizo, succumbed to the allure of darkness and sought vengeance for his clan's annihilation during the epic clash with Rinoa. Consumed by madness, Taiki not only betrayed the mighty capital of Deindra, but he also assembled his own formidable army known as the Dijon force. With an unwavering determination, Taiki set his sights on seizing control of the entire region, transforming it into what he audaciously dubs the dark states. In this realm, only those who harness the power of darkness are deemed worthy to engage in battle. Weaklings need not apply, for Taiki yearns for sheer might to vanquish the demonic forces that plague the land. Trizo left with no other option, must confront his former mentor, now a formidable menace to the nation.
Taiki: You're all done for, there's no escaping my wrath! Your blood will pay for the sins of my clan!
Scene: Taiki unleashes a dark elemental technique, weaving a web of dark strings that ensnare his opponents and drain their mana, feeding it to him.
Trizo is left reeling at the sheer power of the dark web, its shockwaves shaking the very ground beneath him. Despite his best efforts to dodge and defend himself with fire guardian magic, Taiki's dark abilities prove too much for him to handle.
Trizo: Can you believe this madness? I'm at a complete loss here! This is definitely not what the grandmaster and Haribuki had prepared me for. Taiki is on a whole other level of strength, and I can't even fathom how anyone in the Magic Deindra Knights could match up to him.
Shinore: Even Grandmaster Xeves would be scratching his head in confusion!
Trizo: I might just have a trick up my sleeve to counter his attack. I've noticed that he has to activate his aura defense cloak before unleashing his ridiculously risky move.
Shinore: Oh snap! Are you planning to strike him right when he's vulnerable? But remember, once you're caught in that thing, there's practically no way out.
Trizo: Alright, listen up. As soon as Taiki activates his Thunder Dome attack, I'm gonna hit him with the fire guardian seal. That seal is gonna mark him up really well and dish out some serious damage. And here's the best part - it's gonna reflect his own aura right back at him. That means I won't even have to worry about getting hit.
Shinore: You better hurry the heck up, Trizo! Taiki's activating that attack right freakin' now!
Scene: Taiki unleashes his ultimate dark-cloaked attack, the Thunder Dome. This thing is no joke - a massive black and purple sphere hovers above him, crackling with dark energy and electricity. Taiki launches this beastly mass of power straight at Trizo, aiming to consume him in its darkness. But Trizo ain't no pushover. The moment he spots that incoming attack, he activates his fire guardian seal, slamming it right onto Taiki's chest. And just like that, the Thunder Dome attack gets sent right back at Taiki. The dude gets slammed hard by his own attack, pinning him down and knocking him out cold. Taiki's done for, my friends. The Deindra Knights swoop in and take his sorry ass into custody. They're gonna seal him away in some underground chamber. Good riddance.
Scene 18 years later, Trizo and Haribuki are finally married and have been blessed with five children. Their names, in order of age, are Ikaku, Soikken, Cherem, Makizo, and Raizo. These kids are currently 17, 15, 14, 13, and 10 years old respectively. However, amidst their joyous family life, a grave concern looms over them. Rinoa, a formidable adversary, has been expanding his armies and taking control of various regions to the east. The situation has become dire, and Trizo and his family understand the urgency to confront Rinoa head-on.
In light of this, the council of Deindra has approached Trizo and requested him to follow in his wife's footsteps and become a teacher. The idea behind this is to have both Trizo and Haribuki train and prepare themselves to combat Rinoa. Trizo, recognizing the gravity of the situation, dedicates himself to ten months of intense training. Once he feels ready, he seeks the counsel of his elder brother, Vhiel, to assess his strength and readiness to face Rinoa.
To Trizo's dismay, Vhiel delivers a harsh truth - he is not yet prepared to take on Rinoa. Vhiel firmly believes that Trizo will never be ready to face such a formidable opponent. Trizo, respecting his brother's wisdom, accepts this reality and conveys the same to the council. Consequently, Trizo is forbidden from engaging in any direct confrontation with Rinoa. Trizo understands that it would be unwise to enter a battle he cannot handle.
In a surprising turn of events, Vhiel suggests an alternative plan. He advises Trizo to entrust his son, Makizo, to him. Vhiel promises to train and groom Makizo to become a worthy opponent against Rinoa. Trizo, acknowledging the wisdom in his brother's words, agrees to this arrangement. He believes that his son, under Vhiel's guidance, stands a better chance at defeating Rinoa than he ever could.
And so, the fate of their family's future rests on the shoulders of young Makizo. Trizo hopes that his son will grow strong and skilled enough to face Rinoa and bring an end to the threat that looms over their land.
After 2 months, Makizo surpasses all of his training with Vhiel. He becomes incredibly strong, so much so that even the council approves of him fighting a person known as Soliem, or Serein for short. Serein's mission is to locate the Noreine gates and uncover the whereabouts of Barallette, the lost Queen of Deindra. Vhiel decides to send Makizo to fight Serein as a test, to determine his strength compared to Rinoa. Serein accepts the challenge from Makizo. However, just as Makizo is about to engage in combat with Serein, Trizo's Eldest Brother Tragk suddenly appears. He tells Trizo that he no longer needs to worry about fighting, but their dad, Seikurion, insists that Trizo must continue training to avoid falling behind.
Seikurion insists that Trizo must persist with his training, regardless of the expense, to prevent rust and maintain his mana. Haribuki supports Trizo's decision to continue training, recalling the consequences of his past negligence and emphasizing the importance of maintaining his health through consistent training.
Trizos is in serious trouble! His mana is draining rapidly, and if he doesn't get some training soon, he might not make it much longer. The doctors say he was born with this mana leak, and it's causing him a lot of problems. But there's hope! He's about to start some organized spaced intense training that will help him get better. While Makizo handles the important missions, Trizo will be working hard behind the scenes to keep himself alive. Time is running out, but with this training, there's a chance he can improve his health and life force.
