"Wars , what are they for ? , are they for peace? ,Are they for power ? , No matter what the attention of war is , War will always scar everyside , at the end we all end up loosing , thats why i dont believe in victory when it comes to war , Our battle might have ended in my loss but the war will go on . This world shall never know peace, Such thing doesn't exist, Man love holding a blade then their land and people , Hear me ...Those who believe in piece shall never hold a blade to slay but to devide and share.
Lloyd closes his book ( The ballerina princess and thief) after reading its last words " Lloyd , hey Lloyd are you reading while walking?"

Lloyd:We could go back with her but i dought will make it im tired plus she seems to be very energetic we might night someone to light up the mood
Shawn:Oky fine do what you want
Samantha celebrate and shouts "yeah " jumping up high.
The sky filled with darkness , it covers every building in Zowe
Thorn : Josh ,Scotch and Darwin ...listen as soon as he bring out his army separate them from me ,protect me from them and i will protect you from him.
Josh(from Terraverde):consider it done
Scotch(From Electria):Affirmative
Darwin(from Aquaria): I'll do my best.
Thorn hold his sword preparing to draw it out at that moment Baltimore hold his staff and smashes it to the ground bringing out a huge amount of dust ...that dust start to take form ,then echoflayers appears, A huge number of them appear and two large giant echoflayers "Thorn!! Let me handle this "Josh jumps in striking the ground with his fist "split " the ground start to move up with the Baltimore deviding the echoflayer and Baltimore,Thorn jumps after Baltimore "I owe you one Josh , I have Faith in you guys."
Darwin charges the echoflayers riding a wave of water "Water style giant wave"a wave of water comes out of the ground wiping out the echoflayers " these is only temporary ,I'll keep them busy you guys take care of those annoying giant echoflayers "
Scotch: hhmmm so annoying, i guess I'll just have to end this quickly
Takes a fighting stance
Josh: You took the words right out of my mouth .
Scotch:Dont slow me down...
Josh goes after one of the giant to attact "Earth style stone bullets" a barrage of sharp rocks strike the both giants" your the one who is slowing me down ..." in that instant a loud noice of thunder echoes throughout Zowe in that moment the giants collapse " when you attack , make sure its to kill." Before he even have the chance to move one giant grabs him by the neck ,throws him to the giant wall , Scotch crashes to the wall so hard he started to bleed.
Josh: Scotch!!
Josh recieves a kick ,only to meet the same faith as Scotch .
At the top of the wall:
Beltimore: We meet again brave worrier (He kneel on one knee and grabs some soil then he blows it with the wind)What a beautiful land.
Thorn: You know nothing of beauty, Baltimore i will take your head.
Baltimore:hhhmmm
Beltimore tightens his grip on his staff and closes his eyes
Thorn hold his sword preparing to draw it out "My friend im calling you out , Lend me your strength. "
Both of them charge towards each other and clash with their weapons, A wave of energy shakes the ground " Tonight you will meet your end , Baltimore!!!!"
Josh: this giants are strong .(aahm he coughes blood )
Scotch: Oky i will take the one the left , I wont loose to that ugly thing.
The giants come charging with an incredible speed Josh shift himself using his earth technique and scorch dodges using his lightning speed .
Both of the attack the giants from behind with an incredible force (" i didn't live even a bit of damage ") Josh furious with his findings he quickly opens up a hole like a trap door in the feet of the giants at that moment Scotch bizy going toe to toe with the other giant with a barrage of attack " Lightning style wip " a string of lightning bounds the giant holding it to the ground (" Now quickly") Scotch jumps high in to the sky " Lightning style..." A huge strikes Scotch knocking him silly , The giants used the lightning strands to create a wip with the giant rock that striked Scotch
Josh : Scotch!!! , damn it
The giant uses that wip to attack Josh but Josh opens another trap door , The giant falls in .
" Scotch you better be oky , I cant handle this giants with out you ."
Scotch gets up slowly furious " You think a piece of rock can knock me out ? I'll show you what it means to fight a worrier of Electria"
Josh : Mmm oky enough with holding back ,we promised Darwin we would win .
Scotch: In the mist of all creation...
Josh: The brilliance of creation...
Scotch: Light and Darkness are never one...
Josh: aid me with the strength of mother nature...
Scotch: but I defy all laws ...
Josh:bring life to the earth...
Scotch: Lightning style Ragnarock.
Josh : Earth style , Evangeline.
As Josh and Scotch unleashed their powerful techniques, the ground shook, and the air crackled with electricity. The giants stumbled, momentarily blinded by the intense light.
Darwin, who was keeping the echoflayers at bay, sensed the shift in momentum. "Now's our chance!" he shouted, charging towards the giants with a massive wave.
Thorn, still clashing with Baltimore, felt the ground tremble beneath his feet. "You think your friends can turn the tide?" Baltimore sneered. "I'll show you true power!"
Baltimore slammed his staff into the ground, creating a massive shockwave that sent Thorn flying. As Thorn struggled to get back to his feet, Baltimore began to chant in a low, ominous tone...
The air grew darker, and the echoflayers began to twist and contort, their bodies elongating into grotesque, humanoid forms.
"What's happening?" Darwin shouted, horrified.
"It's Baltimore's dark magic!" Josh yelled back. "We need to end this fast!"
Scotch cracked his knuckles. "Time for Round Two. Lightning style... Tempest Fury!"
A whirlwind of lightning bolts erupted from Scotch's fists, striking the twisted echoflayers with incredible force. The creatures howled in agony as they stumbled backward.
Josh seized the opportunity. "Earth style... Mountain Crusher!"
The ground split apart, and a massive boulder hurtled towards the giants. The creatures attempted to dodge, but Josh's control over the earth was too precise. The boulder crushed one of the giants, sending it tumbling to the ground.
Darwin, inspired by his friends' determination, summoned a colossal wave. "Water style... Tidal Wave!"
The wave crashed down upon the remaining giant, sweeping it off its feet. The creature struggled to rise, but Darwin's wave pinned it down.
Thorn, now back on his feet, charged towards Baltimore. "You're finished!"
Baltimore sneered, his eyes blazing with dark energy. "Foolish mortal... you'll never defeat me!"
With a flick of his wrist, Baltimore sent a bolt of dark energy hurtling towards Thorn. But Thorn was ready...
Thorn raised his sword to deflect the dark energy bolt. The two forces clashed, sending shockwaves through the air.
As the energy dissipated, Thorn stumbled backward, his sword trembling in his hand. Baltimore's eyes widened in surprise.
"You... you shouldn't have been able to block that," Baltimore stammered.
Thorn's eyes locked onto Baltimore, his gaze burning with determination. "I'll never back down."
With a fierce battle cry, Thorn charged forward. Baltimore sneered, summoning another wave of dark energy.
The two forces collided in a spectacular explosion of light and sound. The ground shook, and the air was filled with the acrid smell of ozone.
As the dust settled, a figure stumbled out of the wreckage. It was Thorn, his sword still clutched in his hand.
But something was horribly wrong. Thorn's eyes were wide with pain, and his body was... was beginning to twist and contort.
"No... no, this can't be!" Thorn screamed, his voice echoing through the desolate landscape.
And then, everything went black.
("Thorn")internally , Thorn heres a voice calling out to him and a memmory comes to mind of him hopelessly lying down with no strength to move at all , In a blurry image he sees a man reaching out to him and it fades.
Thorn holds himself together determined to defeat Baltimore he stood strong , Beltimore senses that Thorns energy is changing , Then Thorn opens hus eyes "Total concentration,Balance " A huge steam comes out of his body as if his muscles were on fire" Baltimore!!, your tricks wont work on me."
The hole area become covered by steam
Baltimore, now shrouded in a dark aura, laughed menacingly at Thorn's sudden surge of power. "You think your newfound strength can challenge the darkness within me?" he taunted, his voice echoing through the steam.
Thorn, with steam billowing from his body, felt the energy coursing through him, a gift from the mysterious figure in his memory. "I don't just challenge it; I will overcome it!" he roared, his sword glowing with an intense light, cutting through the steam like a beacon.
Down below, Josh and Scotch noticed the shift in the atmosphere. The giants, though weakened, were still a threat. Josh slammed his fists into the ground, "Earth style... Continental Divide!" The earth beneath the giants split, forcing them apart, their balance thrown off.
Scotch, with his eyes glowing blue, moved like lightning. "Let's finish this!" He dashed around one of the giants, leaving trails of electricity in his wake. "Lightning style... Thunder Cage!" Chains of lightning wrapped around the giant, immobilizing it.
Darwin, seeing his chance, redirected the water flow. "Water style... Binding Currents!" Streams of water surged from his control, intertwining with Scotch's lightning, further ensnaring the giant in a deadly grip of water and electricity.
Back at the top, Thorn and Baltimore clashed once more. The steam around them began to clear, revealing Thorn's transformation. His skin shimmered with a strange luminescence, his muscles taut with power. Baltimore swung his staff with dark energy, but Thorn parried with his sword, the clash sending waves of energy outward.
"This ends now, Baltimore!" Thorn shouted. With a swift motion, he channeled his energy into his sword. "Sword of Light, Dawn's Edge!" A blinding light erupted from the blade, slicing through the dark energy that Baltimore summoned, cutting a path towards his adversary.
Baltimore, caught off guard by the intensity of the light, tried to shield himself, but the light was too pure, too powerful. It struck him, and he staggered backward, his dark aura flickering.
Below, Josh and Scotch watched as the giants fell, their combined elements too much for even these colossal foes. "We did it," Josh gasped, exhaustion setting in.
Scotch nodded, "But this isn't over yet. Thorn needs us."Scotch , Josh ... do not interfere... I will defeat Baltimore by myself." Josh and scorch stop struggling up the wall . Then Thorn grips his sword tightly " This is your end Beltimore , My new move will bring you to an end!!."
3 years ago:
Thorn wakes up on a campfires " huh ...my head is killing me." Then Thorn hears an unknown voice " Aaaah You have awakened. " Thorn looks around to see whos talking then he sees a man wearing a black gown. " Who are you ?" The man looks at Thorn " Thorn your badly injured now , i have a shelter near this place its a day walk . Will move in the morning. "
Thorn : I guess i lost the fight , How is my village?
The man grabs wood then put it on the campfire " That monster you were fighting retreated after the fight with you , your village is safe."
Thorn: (sigh) Good , in thatcase i have to recover and go after that beast , im not done with him, for now I'll have to train.
Then the stranger stands up " you asked what my name is ?... My name is Zephyr. "
Then Thorn opens his eyes in surprise " You cant be , i thought your kind cant travel this far?."
Zephyr: I made a mistake a long time ago and i want to fix it , Thorn let me train you . You need it
Thorn: Train me? , Im not against being trained by you, how does training me solve your mistake ?
Zephyr: Only the future has the answer to that, I will teach you everything i know ,In return i need you to free Beltimore.
Thorn: Beltimore?
Zephyr: hahahauhah you will figure it out soon enough , just be yourself
Back in the present:
Thorn takes a stance and tighten his grip on his sword and closes his eyes
"In the grand tapestry of existence, every thread is woven with energy, and every fiber is composed of particles. The symphony of creation resonates within me, and I am the conductor who orchestrates the harmony of the universe.
"I am the master of the fundamental building blocks of reality. I am the one who weaves the fabric of existence.
"Particle Style... Flame Technique... PHOENIX FLAMES!!"
Thorn's declaration echoed through the clearing, his voice imbued with a newfound certainty. As he uttered the words "PHOENIX FLAMES!!", the air around him shimmered with an intense heat, the steam from earlier now igniting into brilliant, fiery plumes.
The fire took the shape of a colossal phoenix, its wings spread wide, each feather a blazing trail of light and energy. This wasn't just any flame; it was a manifestation of Thorn's will, his understanding of the very particles that made up the world around him. His heart raced, not just from the battle but from the memories of what he was fighting for.
Baltimore, now visibly shaken by the display, attempted to counter with his own dark energy. He summoned shadows from the ground, trying to envelop and extinguish the phoenix. "You think your light can banish my darkness?" he bellowed, his voice almost drowned by the roar of the flames.
But the Phoenix Flames were not just about light; they were about transformation, rebirth, and the fundamental essence of energy itself. As the dark tendrils reached out, they were met with an intense heat that seemed to purify and consume them, turning shadows into mere wisps of smoke.
Thorn, feeling the connection to his newfound power, advanced. Each step he took left a trail of fire on the ground, which quickly dissipated into the air, leaving no trace but the memory of his passage. "This isn't just about defeating you, Baltimore. It's about understanding the balance of all things," he said, his voice steady despite the chaos around, his mind flashing back to his wife's voice, "Protect our children, Thorn, protect them!"
With a swift motion, Thorn swung his sword, guiding the phoenix directly at Baltimore. But in that moment, Baltimore, realizing his imminent defeat, used his last reserves of strength. He thrust his staff forward with a desperate cry, piercing Thorn's side. The pain was immediate and blinding, yet Thorn's resolve did not waver.
Stumbling back, Thorn felt the life ebbing from him, his vision blurring. He fell to one knee, the phoenix faltering but not extinguished. The image of his wife, her plea echoing in his mind, fueled his last burst of energy. "Protect... them..." he whispered, his eyes filled with tears of pain and resolve.
With a final effort, ignoring the agony, Thorn redirected the Phoenix Flames. The creature of fire enveloped Baltimore, its wings wrapping around as if to embrace or to smother. The light was blinding, the heat overwhelming. Baltimore's screams mixed with the roar of the flames, a cacophony of defeat and rebirth.
As the flames subsided, Baltimore was left kneeling on the ground, his dark aura gone, his armor charred. The fight left his eyes, replaced by a look of realization or perhaps defeat. "You've... changed," he managed to say, his voice weak.
Thorn, now lying on the ground, his strength gone, his sword cooling beside him, managed a weak smile. "We all have the capacity for change, for redemption. Even you, Baltimore," he gasped out, his hand reaching not in victory but in a final gesture of peace.
Below, Josh and Scotch, who had been watching in awe, finally relaxed. "He did it," Josh whispered, the relief palpable in his voice, tears in his eyes.
Scotch nodded, his eyes still reflecting the light of the Phoenix Flames. "He's not just a fighter anymore. He's something more."
Then at that moment the echoflayers that were battling Darwin disappeared" huh , that means that Thorn did it"
Thorn lying down to the ground and his blood flowing everywhere
