Chapter 7 – Half Golden
Alce became misty, evaporating into John’s arm, while Siphon bust into pure black flame. A split second later the pair found themselves shielding their eyes from an insanely blinding light that was emitted from Xeneth. The air grew colder still as ice formed from the sky, crashing down into the earth at amazing speed, and shattering in many other particles. An ice spike nearly landed on John as lightning shot out from his body, momentarily shielding him from any nearby ice. A blue flame circled around Lyza, any oncoming ice immediately turned into steam. Adrian smiled as the light faded and John and Lyza regrouped. Rasavi was now a double-bladed curved sword, completely blood red. Adrian’s arm now also had red marks on it, mixed with the golden. John teleported from next to Lyza to the opposite side of Adrian. John’s aura crackled as lightning surged within it while Siphon’s flame grew larger and hotter. “This is nice, but your 15 minutes are almost over.” Steam rose from Rasavi, the ice on the ground also quickly turning into steam and developing around Rasavi. Lyza’s eyes widened, (telepathy will be like this now. [] will be for Lyza and {} will be for John. ^^) [John…hes done that before! If we even hope to lesson the odds we have to strike now, or we’re done for!] {Argh…Fine. We’ll have to use what we’ve been practicing for.} [Fine. We have a couple of seconds] A large star faded into existence next to John’s arm, spinning in supernatural speeds from the voltage of electricity that surged within it. John lunged at Adrian, the star in front of him. John jumped into the air, his aura adding speed. He threw his star, and made two assaulters in the front and back of Adrian. (Couldn’t explain it unless using assaulter ) Flame encircled Adrian, pillars surrounding him, making a virtual cage. Adrian ran his fingers along Rasavi, a white wing slowly coming out of his back. Xeneth shook vigorously as the wing took place, and then faded into mist, evaporating into Adrian’s arm. The same process went along with Rasavi. Meanwhile, Lyza and John took out two scrolls from their pockets, hastily marking it with blood, and then sealed them into the cage. They stood back as the cage took a hideous transformation. A blackened aura encircled it as Adrian’s eyes opened wide, The cage closed in on him, like a dog in it’s cage. The flame turned into a substance from another world, chaotic symbols appearing up and down the walls. The top closed and then nothing could be seen by Lyza or John. They then each brought out another scroll, and also marked them and binded them into the cage. Xeneth and Rasavi shimmered and shook as the wings disappeared and they resumed their former form, the dualblades. The chaotic magic sealing them back into the Dragon’s Tail. Adrian himself was sprawled on the ground, shaking. He emitted a bloodcurling scream as the magic took its toll, and he slipped into a made subconscious. Black magic encircled his body, binding him and keeping him in the subconscious. By this time, Lyza and John had just finished binding the other scrolls into the cage. Black magic encircled the Dragon’s Tail, also binding it. Several spells made from the Chaotic energy binded and did things to Adrian as he fell into black darkness.
there we go. I jst came up with that while i wrote it. unexpected, no? Next will come soon, cuz i still have to figure out what that cage does.

Chapter 8 – Darkness
John relaxed and sat on the floor while Lyza held a round, black jewel next to the cage. The prison turned liquidy and filled into the jewel, the gem itself glowing black and a miniature form of Adrian appeared in the center. “How long do you think it’ll take for him to…be ‘erased’?” Lyza shoved the crystal into her pocket. “Well, Captain said it normally takes a couple of days, but with him, it could take longer. At least we’re halfway done our mission.” “Yeah. Should we send him back or..” A blast of wind rattled the trees, the sheer force of it snapped the trunks of the trees in half. The clearing became a living tornado, uprooted trees flew into the sky, grass, even small unfortunate animals ended up dead along the shores of the river nearby. Lyza’s bow once again lit into flame, only to be blown out a split second later. [Oh no…neither of us have fought the other chosen yet.] {I know. Watch out for-} A glowing dragon appeared behind a blurry figure for an instant, and the next thing they knew they were in the jaws of it, suspended in the air. The figure reappeared in front of the pair, Rastevash taking the form of a Timeless Knuckle on Lyte’s arm. Lyza and John felt their energy decrease as Lyte stole it away. “Who are you?” Lyza tried talking, but the wind took her voice away from her. White light formed around him as Lyte transformed into his ‘godly’ mode. He appeared in front of the two. I am your brother. Lyza’s eyes widened as Lyte held his hands facing both. The pair struggled from the dragon’s grip as Lyte casted Demolition and Barrage to them, instantly knocking them out. The clearing turned cold, and the wind was forced to a stop. The air around Lyte pressurized, holding him in place. An outline of Captain clapped its hands. “Very nice! Entertaining. But, I know you would like to take your sister back, I still need them.” Captain strode across the clearing, tossing a dark sapphire in front of Lyte. “For this, I will grant you that. I’m sure you also want Adrian back, but that is something I cannot let you do. Nor can I let you interfere with my plans. I need him, and you will not stop me. I would take you too, but then you wouldn’t entertain me and the author of this story wouldn’t be able to continue it. (Lol)” Captain strolled in front of Lyte, placing his hand slightly over his head. Chaos magic flowed from Captain and into Lyte, instantly making him unconscious. “You will not awake until Adrian is completely ‘erased’, nor will you approach him. This way Minerva cannot interfere.” Captain strode toward John and Lyza, and in a flash, disappeared.
Adrian’s Perspective Where am I? Who am I? Adrian awoke in a well-furnished room, alone. A round black circle now surrounded his ‘mark’ of a chosen. His Dragon’s Tail was laid next to him, along with a note attached. It read: You’re wondering who you are, aren’t you? Well, I will tell you. Your name is Adrian, and I can’t tell you all who you are right now, so I will meet you myself and tell you. Sincerely, Captain. The next moment after Adrian finished reading the note it burst into black flame, disappearing. John entered into the room afterwards, as if he didn’t even know who Adrian was, led him to Captain’s study. A very vague memory of John and Captain came into his head, though the thought immediately vanished. Adrian shook his head to clear his mind of this as Captain beckoned him into an empty chair. Captain answered the unspoken question. “I’m Captain. I understand that you want to know who you are.” He offered a cup of water to Adrian, who took it. Black magic fogged Adrian’s mind in the next moment, he had no absolute recollection of his past when Captain told him. “Anyways, you came here wanting to start anew and requested that you would be ‘erased’. So I did it. Though you knowledge of things should still be with you.” Adrian thanked Captain and left through the door, where he went back to his room.
Captain fingered the hilt of his Pole Arm. I erased all the memories that both Lyza and John had of Adrian, so his 1st personality shouldn’t come back anytime soon. Too bad I can’t corrupt him too. The general laws forbid that a person’s already-released Kanmaru be corrupted…I’ll let them recover for awhile, by then, my perfect world, the ‘Void’ should be almost ready.
Farther away, in his laboratory where he kept his jewels were, the black crystal cracked. And this act would destroy the world and cover it into darkness.
I'm only doing this this week because i'm not gonna be here next week. This isn't my best chapter and i know i could do better, but i'm really busy. If anyone still wants to be in this story, please pm me your application.

While there were a few spelling/grammar errors, the chapter retained all of its suspenseful plot building goodness. Great job, like always, and i hope your busyness doesn't completely stop you from continuing this awesome story.

Chapter 9 –Falling Pieces
Narrator: Your weapon represents only fear. When you attack someone, you’re afraid of cutting someone. When you dodge, you’re afraid of getting hurt. When you’re protecting someone, you’re afraid of letting them die. You’re sword speaks only of complete fear. Fear - the only thing in the world we are beyond help from, the only thing that can cripple and discard ourselves like trash.
Lyte awoke in the field, the magic releasing him at last. He rolled over so his back was on the grass, and stared up at the sky as he contemplated what happened a few days ago. Lyte’s father materialized in front of the sapphire, which dark color was slowly fading in to a pure blue. Lyte remained where he was while his father (Joshua) scooped up the sapphire. “Isn’t it ironic that the thing that Ryan gave you so you could die turned out to be the thing that would eventually save your best friend?” The sapphire was now emitting a bright blue/white glow and now had two white bands about an inch above it’s surface that suspended into the air. Rastevash went back to its original form on Lyte’s hand, dissolving into him. Lyte pulled himself into a sitting position, his father handing him the sapphire inside a light blue and gold box. (I will now refer Lyte’s father as Joshua for convenience) Lyte peered at the sapphire, admiring the crystal as he stood, and then he lifted the pendant that Lyza had given him and flipped it open. Bright red sparks flew out of it and around the box, and a second later it disappeared. He closed it and put it back underneath his shirt. “I’ve fashioned a way for Captain to not be able to corrupt you, or in other words ‘erase’ you. It won’t hurt much, but Ryan shouldn’t be able to do to you the same thing he did to Adrian. Whatdya say?” Lyte (obviously) nodded and Joshua motioned him to sit on the grass. Joshua’s pure golden aura glistened in the light as it poured into Lyte’s ‘mark’ of the chosen. About 5 minutes later Lyte’s father withdrew, not even breathing hard. Lyte himself checked it and found that the outlines of the triangle and the sign of wind/lightning were slightly glowing gold, but only a little. Joshua smiled as Lyte once again stood and he faded away. Lyte look behind him for his father but failing, he closed his eyes. Rastevash came out of him, blending in with Lyte’s aura its own glowing intensely. Slowly the glow diminished until it was invisible to the naked eye, granting Lyte speed. The sky was darkening into twilight as he sped forward into the night, to orbis.
Elsewhere…
Lyza lay on her bed, thinking about Lyte and what he said. Slowly, things unraveled before her, the arrow, the beautiful white feather that was her secret, and hers alone. At least we don’t have to worry anymore about other chosen that Captain brought back with him. Now we can just focus on Lyte. She looked out the window, at the twilight sky.
Meanwhile…
Spectators cheered John’s opponent as he dodged another one of his Avengers. John jumped high into the sky. Damn, I can’t hit him! Who is he? It feels like he can anticipate my every move, and he’s not even trying! John smirked as he charged his special Avenger with electricity, making it spin until it was a blur and it glowed slightly staticy, the color of his aura. He feinted with another one from his left side and while his opponent recovered, he threw his electric one. Adrian on the other hand, looked at the avenger with slight interest as he stood in its way. He caught the first one with his hand, dead straight in the center when the other one shot at him, traveling at supersonic speed. This isn’t even a challenge. Besides, I am one of the past commanders. Or so Captain says. Adrian once again caught the avenger, immediately charging it even more with his ice aura which converted into electricity when it touched the avenger. Thus, it spun until it was impossible to see, even with the greatest technology that exists in rl. Adrian smirked and re-threw the two avengers, both converted-electric charged. John looked with amazement at Adrian, and suddenly found himself on the ground, the two Avengers missing him by one centimeter, intentional, and Adrian stood towered in front him, his eyes ice-blue. Adrian un-sheathed one of his two dual-blades, (Captain changed the wep too, so now Adrian is using a special pair of dual blades designed for him and nobody else, if anyone else uses it, they will probably end up dying or something, I haven’t decided. His Kanmaru is in it too. They’re Onyx and Nameless blades cuz they look the same. But I will refer to them as Xeneth and Rasavi cuz it sounds cooler) Xeneth, and pointed at each of John’s vital organs, ending with his throat. “Dead.” He helped John get up. “I told you not to challenge me.” Adrian turned around and left the yard, some spectators trailing him and patting him on the back, while some girls shadowed him, obviously changing their sights from John to Adrian. Adrian’s aura that was in the avengers broke away and solidified into ice, and slowly melted into the ground. The avengers faded until all that was left was the electricity from John, which it bonded to. John sighed and cleaned his clothes, contemplating who Adrian actually was. The crowd slowly broke apart and a few even dared to talk to John. Days after the actual fight there was gossip about John losing his first street-fight since he and Captain founded Surge.
Somewhere else in Surge’s headquarters…
Captain entered the training yard as about a dozen advanced 4th job people sparred. The Dark Knight had just re-directed the Night Lord’s Avenger, and it was now sailing straight at Captain. (About 1½ the speed of John’s electric one) “Nice block! Next time maybe you should tr-“The dk stared at the avenger and Captain. “Oh crap…We’re in for it now.” The nearest to Captain, the Shadower, raced to the avenger, apparently trying to deflect the star, not succeeding. Captain rolled his eyes and disappeared and reappeared in front of the Night Lord, with the perfect avenger an inch about his hand, still spinning but not moving, held it for the Night Lord to take. He reached out for his star. “Uh…th-th-anks.” He took the star and it slowed until it was perfectly still. The group stood in a small semi-circle around Captain. It turned out there was one from each class. The Night Lord, the Shadower, the Dark Knight, of which was mentioned earlier, a Bow Master, all of the classes of mages, a Paladin, a marksman, and the two classes of pirates. “For the trouble of that, I’m going to ask a favor of you 12. First, introduce yourselves.” The Buccaneer, evidently the leader, took on the responsibility of the names. “The Night Lord is Jack, the Shadower over to that side” He gestured to the far left. “is Laura, the Dark Knight is Tyler. The Bow Master’s name is Dylan, and the Marksman is Emily. The fire mage is Connor, the ice Nicholas, and the Bishop Ashley. The Paladin is Nick, the Hero Justin. Finally, the Corsair is Jennifer. I’m Alex.” He pointed at each one and then stepped back, waiting for Captain to give instructions. “Good. I want you 12 to stall a certain…insect. Here are your orders. Tyler, I want you to…” And so the conversation continued until everyone was stationed here or there, but each was given an important role for the ‘capture’ or in some other sense, the ‘beginning’ of the end.
Here, done. Now the chapters will take a little bit longer cuz i'm trying to make them at least 2 pgs of microsoft word so yeah. hope you like it xD

Chapter 10 – Tainted Darkness
The narrator holds out a mechanical hologram machine, made from New Leaf City, from Professor Foxwit. The machine beeps, and a hologram of Future Adrian shows above it. F. Adrian: The world has a limit to everything, limit to strength, limit to speed, even a limit for age. That’s what normal people think. There is a limit, that much is true, but it just depends how high you set the bar. Everything in the world has an end, but you decide how far off the end is. The hologram stops talking, and it disappears. The narrator wordlessly placed it back in his/her pocket and resumed the story again.
Lyte halted in front of the orbis tower. He sighed and Rastevash grew brighter, a slight breeze suddenly shook the trees. “Oh, come on. I know you’re there. You’ve been following me since I arrived here.” Laura appeared behind him, her dagger around his neck. A second after Laura appeared, the rest of the close-combat classes also appeared in a circle around Lyte, weapons drawn and ready. Alex stood in the center of the loose circle. “Cocky…we’re here to escort you to Captain. We outnumber you, so there’s no point in fighting.” Lyte, however, grinned and the breeze slowly fell to nothing. The five, who took this as a sign of surrender, began to disperse and do the thing which Captain told them to do. (drug him) Rastevash glowed brightly in the faint sky and in the next moment the five were all flung in different directions, blown away at supersonic speeds. The next moment was indeed a blurry memory for Lyte seemed like he was attacking all five of them at once, like he was at five places at once. At this point the other people of the group were still recovering and only when two of their fellow friends blew past them did they actually start moving. Lyte reappeared at the tower, the winds escalating at over 200 miles per minute, making it almost impossible to move, let alone attack. The rest of the people desperately fired arrows, summoned magic, and threw stars at him while the only cleric in the party, Ashley, struggled to heal all of them at once, failing since the range of the five who were blown were beyond. Thus she resulted in doing half of her job, which was keeping all the people safe and healed, by curing only the mages, bowman, and rogues. The rest were at least a quarter around the globe by then. The arrows, magic, and stars were fired, but immediately redirected. Their eyes all widened as Lyte tapped on each of their necks, sending strong electric currents into their bodies, enough to keep them paralyzed and unconscious. At some point or other, they each thought this: This isn’t possible! The group later on awoke, all 12 in the same place, in a circle.
It was far into the night when the 12 woke. The floor was blown apart by the winds earlier in the day, some trees that were there were overturned, and several buildings were slightly uprooted. Every possible organism in the region was dead or had fled, aside the group. As a result, area was dead silent, and not even a cricket sounded. Strangely, the party woke up in the same time, clutching their heads or stretching. It took about one minute for them to realize the scene around them or the complete defeat from Lyte. When they did though, they immediately jumped up and reached for weapons that weren’t there. A dim figure teleported in front of their eyes, in the center of the circle. Their eyes widened when they recognized who it was. Captain (obviously) stood there, calm as usual. Dylan recovered first. “Sir! You must know that we lost, or else why would you even be here? We tried, but he was way too stro-” Captain glared at him, and he immediately stopped talking. “Yes, I know you lost. That’s what I expected anyways. I need you to stall him a bit more, my subordinate isn’t even near to ready yet. Now that I know what his capabilities are, I need to do…something to you.” Captain lifted a finger, and several daggers, claws, swords, bows, and staffs appeared in the air, levitating. “Pick one. Then we can proceed.” They gaped at the weapons, startled that they could even touch them. The weapons themselves were deadly sharp and designed to kill, the best in the classes. Justin took the Timeless Claymore, (the one that Captain used two years ago) Nick the Dragon Battle Axe, Dylan the Dragon Claymore, Emily the Dragon Shiner Cross, Jack the Red Craven, Laura the Dragon Kreda, Tyler the Dragon Pertizan, Connor the Dragon Staff, Nicholas the Doomsday Staff, Ashley the Elemental Staff, Alex the Timeless Knuckle and Jennifer the Dragonfire Revolver. Each and every one of them admired their weapons, tested their weapons, and found that the weapons were almost light-weight and felt as if it was made specifically for them. Once again they formed a circle around Captain. “Good. Now, the next step is releasing your Kanmaru, or spirit. It enables you to go over your extremities and become more powerful than anyone before you, except me and some others.” Jennifer eyed her new Revolver and said “Everything has a price. What’s this one?” “You’ll be linked to me. You will be granted an immortal life and serve me but, isn’t that what you vowed to do when you joined Surge?” They whispered to each other in urgent voices and nodded. Alex stood forward. “Yes. We will do it. Anything for you, sir.” Captain smiled, a rare find. “Good. Just so you know, I appoint Alex and Jennifer as leader and co-leader. Anyways, I want you all lying on the ground. Now.” They instantly obeyed his order and lay in the circle. Captain’s pure black aura came out, engulfing the twelve bodies in back mist. The mist, in turn, dissolved into their bodies, and into their vital organs. (I’m using Jennifer as my perceptive person, cuz I like her the best ;D)
-- ~>Jennifer’s Sight of the Awakening<~--
It had felt weird when the mist surrounded her, as thick so she couldn’t even see beyond it. But, the worst was later. She watched as the mist dissolved into her, and her body seemed to burn and freeze at the same time, and it felt like a hundred daggers were stabbing her at once. She saw spots, and faded into unconsciousness. ~--<Back to them all>--~
They awoke at the same place, their bodies strangely light. Next to them lay their weapons, which were glowing according to the person’s aura. Captain paced around, summoning a magic wall around the orbis area. Justin picked up his sword, and nudged the rest of the group to do the same. After a few minutes, they gathered around Captain. He finished the wall and turned to the group. “I’m going to teach you how to use it, and to tell you what effects the Kanmaru has with you. I made this wall as a…sort of a separate time dimension. It’ll wear off when you finish. Anyways, the training starts now.”
After the training
The party left the field, covered in several new fighting scars from the rough training. Their weapons sheathed either on their back or along a belt on their waist. They laughed and joked along as they walked to the orbis tower, where Lyte was. They found Lyte just leaving the tower, casually strolling towards the boats again. They smiled at each other as Lyte recognized who they were. He sighed. “What do you want now? I thought you wouldn’t want to do this again…You wanna just leave go or go through the formality of actually fighting?” Tyler stepped forward to confront Lyte as Connor and Nicholas formed a barrier around the area. “So I guess it’s the 2nd option then…” The wind, this time, instantly went over last times rate, 250 miles per minute. None of the party even flinched, let alone even move. Tyler whipped his spear so fast, that even Lyte almost got hurt. While they fought, the rest of the party separated into the corners of the barrier, giving them room. Rastevash once again appeared on his arm as a knuckle. Lyte sped across the field, practically invisible. After about 5 minutes, Tyler was on the losing side, so Jennifer sighed and moved to help him out. Lyte had just stunned Tyler with Double Uppercut when a couple of bullets whistled 2 millimeters away from him. Lyte smirked, kicking Tyler across the field, his wounds healing from energy drain from Tyler. The ground rumbled, and energy shot from the ground to Jennifer. (I’m gonna speed this up a little, cuz the plot isn’t going by so fast.) About 30 min later, everyone was engaged in a fight with Lyte. Their attacks were much more frequent, and Lyte’s attacks mostly missing and he eventually went on the defensive. Lyte was mostly losing because of the twelve’s Kanmarus, and he could not use his senses. See, they had the Kanmaru of Sound, Sight, Thought, Space, Metal, Illusions, Weight, Regeneration, Wood, Flight, Energy, and Matter. (I’ll tell you who has who later on) Otherwise, he could’ve lasted longer, but the outcome will be the same. The 12 surrounded Lyte, Nicholas froze Lyte and Jennifer launched a strong energy surge into Lyte, and he was knocked unconscious.

Chapter 11 – Intelligence A shadow trailed the group of twelve as they neared a house made of vines with Lyte. They were in one of the many hidden magic-guarded pathways of Ellinia, found and a secondary HQ from Captain. The group entered the dwelling whilst the shadow concealed himself in a couple of bushes. John’s shadow partner vanished when he appeared in its place. Wow, looks like he got in a little trouble here. John sighed mentally. It’s like he does whatever he wants…So annoying. I did promise him though. I’ll wait a couple hours till I go in; it gives her a minute to get here too. John quickly got up and raced west for about ½ a mile, the minute he landed from Flash Jump a girl teleported next to him. “Hey, Madison. For the millionth time, that’s not the right way you’re supposed to teleport!” “Oh, shut up.” Madison wore a striped hooded shirt and washed denim cargos, equipped with dragon wand and a magician shield. She warded the area while John filled her in on what happened with Lyte. “He lost? Wow. Up against twelve developed C.R.s, even I wouldn’t have lasted.” Madison lay next to John. “Yeah.” “Hey, I heard you lost against…whats his name? Right, Adrian.” Electricity crackled around them. “Of course. I couldn’t use my real thing anyways, and without it, I don’t stand a chance.” The day grew brighter as they talked the night away. Madison abruptly stood. “Time to go.” She helped John up and they reappeared in the place John was at earlier in the day. John dark sighted them both and they entered the house. The house was literally huge. Wooden planks filled the floor, and there were almost unlimited rooms and floors. The wall-vines were indestructible partly because they were so thick and strong and because magic filled Ellinia, so that the vines, if destroyed, would immediately regenerate. After some searching, John found that four of the twelve were asleep in private rooms, one was outside guarding the place, three were eating, and the rest were involved in conversation about plans for Lyte from Captain. Madison and Lyte quietly went down to the dungeons, still in Dark Sight. The cells were tightly compacted and small, so the prisoners couldn’t escape. Vines lined the walls and the steel bars, locking them in. They had to go down about 8 floors before they found Lyte, chained to the wall. The chains were made from Dera, Connor’s Kanmaru, so that they were almost unbreakable, plus they were enhanced by Zurren. Thus making it impossible to lift, over that, a dark aura was around Adrian, all restraining even the slightest movement. John, seeing this, instantly jumped to the side, turning in midair. “Oh sh-” An Avenger whistled by at the spot he was before. Madison stood next to him, holding her wand behind her. John braced himself as the Dark Sight wore off, the twelve now standing before them. “Now, look what we have here! Ever since we found that you were following us, John, we’ve followed you. You’ll have a lot to answer to when you’re taken back to Surge. And Madison! Amazing you would team with him, who would’ve thought we’d get rich and catch them today?” Dylan sneered. The next moment Dylan was on the floor, with John standing over him, eyes cold. Madison looked at John, and chuckled. “Always rushing. Let’s make this a bit fairer, John?” He smiled, their eyes turning transparent. Madison raised her wand and inch, and meteors, ice, and light erupted from the ceiling, scorching and the twelve as they struggled to react. A blue-ish green aura started to encircle Madison, but disappeared once it touched her. Emily’s eyes widened as her aura circled her instead of Madison, and instantly fell to the floor, unconscious. Alex scowled; Zurren appeared, coiling around his arm. “It’s true. The legend…which means..” John had just launched two Avengers at Justin, who was using Flarash to fly, when Alex tied a cloth over John’s eyes. John instantly froze, and plummeted to the ground. Smoke filled the dungeon and when it cleared, a puppet lay on the ground. Madison, John, and Lyte were gone.
Meanwhile…
Lyza stood in an old, abandoned library, where John had left her. A couple cracked shelves were on the floor, and the books were dusty and old. There were holes on the roof and walls, but surprisingly enough, the place was sturdy and didn’t fall even though the elements battled against it for years. Through the roof Lyza saw growing light, the beginnings of day. Lyza ran her fingers over the shelf nearest to her, looking for anything to pass the time. She reached the end of the top row when she saw an interesting book named ‘Krein’. Interesting…where have I heard this before? Lyza wondered as she took the book and admired it. It was deep green, hard cover, and it was considered small. It was very new compared to the rest of the books around. The word Krein was on the cover in bold, and no author was there. She flipped to the first page. The writing was delicate and beautiful, as though even touching it would ruin it. It read: ‘Kreins are rather…unfortunate beings. They are mortals that are almost picked as one of the Chosen, but not. This book contains the tales of the Kreins, how they condemned, and how they were chosen to be second, and not the first. For the world is at its last generation, and the knowledge has to be passed from me through this, for I have no heir.’ Lyza turned to the next page. ‘A long time ago, a perfect weapon was said to exist. One that never rusted, never broke, and never went blunt…This entity was called Excal, or what people now call it, Excalibur. Legend says that no one ever found it, but legends are never true. See, seven ordinary curious kids stumbled onto it one day, while exploring the ruins of Sharenian. They, of course, had no idea what it was. So, they touched it. Excal was ‘magical’, as in it unlocked your Kanmaru and took it to the next level. Immortality and the boundless pathways that lay before it. Excal had the strange ability to split into different parts, thus forming the first seven weapons. The tip of the blade turned into the swords, maces, and warrior like things, the rest of the blade turned into a thief’s daggers and claw, the rain-guard into staffs and wands, the cross guard was turned into bows and crossbows, the grip and pommel turned into knuckles and guns. It split into each of them, bonding into their bodies. As a result, the seven sins were created. Before such seven beings existed, the world was peaceful, land prospered, and all was quiet. The seven were beyond anyone’s reaches in power, even now. So, they created jobs. Because of this, war erupted in the classes, and bloodshed entered into the world for the first time. Years passed, and three withered and died. The four remaining realized what they were, and began their own world, now called Maplestory. And this is how the four jobs existed. The three that had withered and died were the strongest of them, it was said that their direct descendants were the Chosen. Their Kanmarus were transferred to their descendants. And if there happened to be more than one child in the family, then the first-born would be Chosen, but if the second was destined to be stronger, then they would switch. This, is how the Kreins were created, in such a appalling way. However, when the Kanmarus get transferred, they leave something. An absolute understanding of life, the ability to master all classes, and an individual ability. In some ways, Kreins are even stronger than Chosen. But, as usual, they are bound to protect the Chosen with their lives. That’s their sole goal, their sole purpose, and their sole downfall.’ John and Madison walked into the library, a dragon behind them carrying Lyte. Lyza immediately closed the book, cold flames erupted from it, and it disappeared. The sky had gotten dark from the time that Lyza had started reading the book. The dragon crouched on the floor, letting Madison and John take Lyte off from it. The air suddenly dropped to below freezing, and a sense of impending doom crept into their minds. Madison and John immediately wrapped Lyte in a dozen spells, and then they teleported him to another place. “What’s happening?” Lyza sprinted towards John. He, however, glared at her and at the next moment, a transparent wall separated them. [We’ll let you out when this is over] The place darkened, and sparks flew as sword met sword and magic met magic.
Hey. done this. I'l have the next chap done by next week

Chapter 12 – Restrictions
Madison held her hand out, and Justin crash landed on a particularly large shelf, knocking it and many others behind it down. Flarash went between the ground and him, trying to shield the pain and blood. John landed next to her, electric-flame severely wounding Tyler. Tyler flew backwards, through a wall, and into a crater in the ground before. Lyza stood next to the crater, and the room exceeded 100 degrees Celsius. Ronon surrounded Tyler, his Pertizan stuck half-way in the wall. As Lyza took out Lyte’s blue crystal, Ronon entered into the weapon, aware of the danger. The air crackled with equal energy and pressure. The library grew suddenly brighter, and the party of twelve’s wounds healed from Alora. The walls of the old place had a faint steel touch and it hummed with increasing vibrations. Madison smirked, touching the wall. The two Kanmaru’s subsided. A couple of bullets embedded themselves into John, energy immediately bursting forward into his body, Jennifer’s skill so-called ‘Overload’. John appeared next to her. “Pity.” The next moment she was struck by her own bullets, collapsing from her own skill, Overload. Alex materialized next to John at that moment, tying a band over his eyes. A demonic aura washed around John, and a invisible blade jammed into Alex, blood pouring everywhere. John moved at the pace that Lyte himself used, with Rastevash. Alex found himself in the air, John cut a long gash in his back and head. The pain made Alex black out as he was forced downwards in 250 miles per hour. Jack fired a Avenger at him, proving Ashley a moments distraction to heal Alex. An bronze eagle appeared right in front of him, so close that Jack could almost touch it, and he fell at and astonishing rate, the eagle piercing his stomach and heart. This time, a small glowing dragon cushioned the fall, summoned from Ashley, it healed all the wounds in a split second and it stayed with him the rest of the battle. Dylan had just (unfortunately) tied a band around Madison’s eyes like what Alex had done to John, and the same demonic aura washed over her. The next thing that Dylan knew he had hit the ceiling and a dark ray of light was upon him, much like a Genesis, and he was stranded on the ground. All of his vital organs were pierced, but luckily, Ashley was there and healed the wounds. (Captain made Ashley the best healer with her Kanmaru) Nicholas attempted to hit Madison with ice, but instead John stood over him, and sharp large thing pieces of ice were stuck in his vital organs except his heart and his limbs. (They went all the way to the ground) Thus, Ashley appeared next to him, almost healing Nicholas. Unfortunately, Madison and John now both stood in front of Ashley. John touched her head and she felt Jennifer’s awfully useful skill, and she fell. Without Ashley, the rest quickly fell. When John, Lyza, and Madison left, the library was covered in blood. The books were all burnt, but they let the twelve live. The place stank of blood.
Madison teleported them to Omega Sector, where John and her had sent Lyte, and entered into the tunnel. This time, John teleported them underground into a perfecting furnished underground cave/house. There were a total of ten rooms, and furnished. The living room was big enough to fit a store. At the left side there was a fireplace, some couches, a TV, and a coffee table. The right side, however, was pitch-black, so unable to see. Once they got in, Madison went to go see Lyte while John and Lyza seated themselves in the living room. John sighed and looked at her. “I know you want to ask questions. Go ahead.” Refreshments appeared on the table. “Fine. Where are we?” John sipped his water. “This is Omega Sector. But you should know, we’ve been here before from a mission from Captain, remember? Anyways, I found this while we were resting. So, I built this place. Its perfect, nobody can get in except from me and whoever I teleport.” Lyza looked at her water, and if on cue, it started bubbling from heat. “Alright then. Who were those twelve people? They had their Kanmarus released, and they were sent from Ryan. I’ve never saw them before. Why did they attack us?” John poked the dying flame in the fireplace, buying him some time. “You know the answer already. Those twelve were after Lyte and you. Ryan is the ‘Black Magician’ as they say. And, well, he’s creating the ‘perfect’ world for himself. He calls this project the ‘Void’. All he needs now is you, Adrian, and Lyte.” The water steamed, creating a small fog around the area. The temperature grew warmer too. “I know. But, you know, those twelve aren’t dead. They’re already recovering. Ryan wouldn’t have trained them for nothing. Like us, they can almost not be able to die.” John was about to reply when footsteps came from the other room, where Lyte was kept.
John gave Lyza a look of sympathy before rushing to Madison. Madison said something in a hushed and hurried voice, and they both walked off to Lyte’s room. John paused and looked back at Lyza. “Your room is on the top floor, second to the last door on the right. Go and rest. We’ve got something important to deal with now.” With that, he rushed to catch up to Madison. Lyza sighed. At least I can rest a bit and eat. I’m beat. Plus I can check on that book again. She slowly walked up the two sets of steps and followed John’s directions. Her door was wooden the same as every other in the house, and a single gold plaque stood in the middle, marked ‘Lyza’. She entered and found a rather large bedroom (twice the size of the one you have at home. Regardless of how big it is.). A neatly made up bed was in the corner, and a lamp was next to it. There was a cabinet on the opposite side of the bed, next to a bright window. The rest was the same as your bedroom, except maybe a computer and a TV built right into the room.
Lyza sat on the bed, holding up her hand. Red sparks flew around it, and the green book was on her hand. Her back against the wall, she flipped to where she left off, and began again.
‘Tyr, Kain, and Night, the three sins that died, had a lot of descendants after they died. So, now, for a Krein to be bound to a Chosen, he or she isn’t always related to the Chosen. It was said that the last generation had the strongest krein. I do not know if this is true, but the three are the most capable to actually survive, which usually doesn’t happen. Kreins usually die before the Chosen fulfill their purpose. The last three have the most formidable unique ability. For the past years, the Chosen have succeeded in bringing the Dark Magician’s schemes to a temporary halt, but I fear that he is more than he seems. ‘The Last Generation’. I bade you to see the diagram at the end of this book before he finds that this exists. If he does, the Chosen will be doomed, and the last three will wither like ‘they’ did. Please, before you too expire, warn the last three. There is only one way for redemption.’ The pages of the book moved on their own accord, from old wasted magic that was there for centuries of it’s time, even before the book was created. The pages stopped at a page near the end, where the diagram that the author mentioned was on. It was very simple, made from the three sins’ families, Kreins, and Chosen. At the top of the three diagrams were Tyr, Kain, and Night, below tons of families. The three Kreins were marked in green while the Chosen were marked in gold. Lyza skimmed down to the bottom part of the page. At the last column, marked in green, were John, Madison, and the number Thirteen. Next to that was the gold marked Lyza, Lyte, and Adrian. A black line indicated which was bonded to each. John’s line ended at Lyza, Madison’s at Lyte, and Thirteen’s at Adrian. Lyza looked up from the book, feeling a strange presence in the room. Red sparks immediately surrounded the book, and it disappeared. A second after a golden glow erupted from the right side of her room, when it cleared, Lyte, John, and Madison stood there. The presence was Night himself, in a ghostly form. He looked like he was in his twenties, even though it was obvious that he had been alive for much longer than that. They never got to study or ask him questions, for a black vision-hole appeared next to him.
At first it was like you were looking from someone else’s eyes. Captain was right in front of you, and talking. You could hear nothing, but you knew he was talking about something important. Captain stopped talking, and the person bowed and left the room. The vision blackened. This time you were looking from far away and Captain was entering his laboratory. He goes through a series of corridors and hallways before he reaches a big room. He opens the door, and goes in. In the room stood a guy tied on a cross. His whole body was chained, even his head. Black bandages were wrapped around his arms and legs. A black band was around his head. Ropes extended from the walls and were wrapped around his hands, neck, and legs. The scene ends as Captain talks to the man. The last scene shows a man in a office, obviously important. Blood dropped to the floor, and the electricity in the room was cut off. A second later he was on the ground, scarcely recognized as a human. Painted on the wall with his blood was the word ‘Thirteen’. The portal closed, and Night was nowhere to be seen.
There. how do you like it?
