Chapter 3: First Act
After a long while of quite a journey,
the 1st prince landed to his destination
from the Aura Portals if the deceased,
James Combat. He was a boy with
quite a potential handsome face
which were added to make him
attract anything with his gold lazy

Chapter 3: First Act

eyes and short orange hair. For a
noble, he was wearing quite the
different clothes, a red long sleeved
shirt and a blue jacket that matched
with his tight long brown jeans and to
add to the top, a pair of headphones
to his neck. His name, Matt Kabaya

Chapter 3: First Act

Matt Kabaya, the noble prince of the

technological Vane Galaxy. He
possesses telekinetic energy which
4
allows him to move anything for
beginner’s level control using his mind
and technological energy, an ability
that allows him to control anything
which resides in technology, which is
information. This kid can even change
the dictionary if he wanted to, delete
websites or even destroy the internet
itself. Anyways back to the story;

Chapter 3: First Act

As the royal prince of the Vane
Galaxy, Matt Kabaya, arrived to his
destination using the Aura Portal, he
notices that it seemed to be set up
such that he’d fall face first high.
Luckily, he easily notices the incident
happening and flips, landing safely
and securely as he dusted himself off
and looked around. The stars were all 5
 around, scattered beautifully to
anyone’s eyes well except for Matt
who immediately looked at it dully
and sighed, “[Seriously, I appeared in
space? I’ve seen all of this already, I’m
already doubting my decisions now.]”
He looks around and there, the boy
Chapter 3: First Act

saw the twinkling stars and amazing

planets. “It seems like I don’t know
where I am too…I haven’t seen any of
these planets or 2.54B stars. If I did, I
should’ve known that the 3.2Bth star
is Eruina,” he sighed more deeply
with boredom, “Guess I’ll first have to
find out where I am.” He immediately
6 went to his right wrist, there was a
watch, made of a pure and priceless
clear material. He pressed it and
there, a squabble of details appeared
in front of Matt, showing his location,
time and beings that live in it. He
analyzed the area, “Hmm…ok so,
apparently I’m at the lowest of all the

Chapter 3: First Act

galaxies, the Milky Way, and the
planet I’m on is called Mars. It’s 5 past
4 in the afternoon. There are no living
beings that can live here since the
living beings that are in the Milky
Way need ‘oxygen’ to live. ‘sighs’
There’s always excuses even if there’s
new plots of homes” he looks around,
seemingly looking for something, 7
 someone or somewhere, “Well
there’s nothing in this place not even
a living soul is breathing here as
mentioned by the watch that means
I’m all alone here ‘sighs’ And there’s
nothing interesting here as well so it
gives a full out message for me saying
Chapter 3: First Act

‘Go back home and do something’.”

he said and let out what seemed to be
a small machine which made a portal.
Strangely and somehow, his eyes lit
up an eye color of purple,
representing his psych presence and
there, he enlarged the machine such
that his whole body could fit. He
8 stopped channeling energy as his eyes
stopped lighting and began to press
the buttons on the machine trying to
start but a denying sound fainted
every time he tried his sequences.
“Hmm……accesses are being denied
so much despite me using my
password, secret password, analogue

Chapter 3: First Act

security and my favorite code…,” he
looked up with his most highest focus
and notices a field right round which
followed the a whole area of space,
passing by planets while looking then
immediately made his conclusion, “So
apparently technology here is way
back at 4th to 5th generation and
there’s magnetism pulling up the 9
 whole Milky Way such that nothing
can pass through it somehow other
than a strong physical force,” he slaps
his head and sighs, “In simple terms
even with such high IQ standards and
even better Artificial Intelligence, I’ll
remain stuck here and there’s no way
Chapter 3: First Act

I can get out…all my plan I thought of

just 6 microseconds ago were totally
turned into ruins of dust because of a
magnetic pull.” Matt said. He kicks a
nearby space stone and shrugs, “And
I’m all alone darn it…” before he
concluded his sentence, he overhears
some nearby fidgeting sounds not far
10 from him.
He felt confused from that moment as
he found out that it sounded like 2
people seemingly arguing about
something but trying to keep their
volume down to prevent from being
noticed which they were pretty much
being pros at failing the job. Filled

Chapter 3: First Act

with curiosity, he began to approach
the area with his guard up 100% with
his psych energy channeled in his
whole body. His thoughts were with a
statement; If any of them tries to
attack, he was gonna fight back. He
walked deeper and closer to the noise
as the arguing sound became louder
from every point until he reached to 11
 the end. As he reached to the point
where the sounds were in full blast,
he found himself looking at a giant
boulder of red where he’d to go
behind to find the noisemakers. As he
tried to step closer, the arguing
sounds voices faded. The two people
Chapter 3: First Act

had stopped talking and faced the

similar boulder that Matt was facing
which was beside them.
Their sense of hearing had heard
Matt’s footsteps after he had stepped
on a rock which made quite a hear
able sound. “[Damn…I’m gonna have
to attack in style if they attack back.
12
Matt calm down just use your self-
defense that’s all,]” he bide his time
behind the rock, he counted down
from 5 in his mind until he went to
ambush the 2 by attacking them from
above. He did as he planned and
floated with speed just to attack the 2
however as he reached the top,

Chapter 3: First Act

another energy surge caught Matt by
surprise. He looked down to the 2
he’d been looking for; who were 2
boys, one with red ember eyes
showing his fiery countenance. He
had flowing hair that was in a
resembling display. His hair
resembled vibrant flames and was in
a hue deep red as if it was infused 13
 with the very essence of fire itself. He
was wearing a full out red coat that
covered everywhere and resembled
an infinite flame. However deeper
into him, a darker presence was being
sensed. The other boy, with chocolate
and wonderful dark-skin had bright
Chapter 3: First Act

and clear eyes that conveyed a sense

of commitment, brown piercing eyes.
He seemed to be a quieter character
for what he seemed to look like a
knight with his grey shining armor
incomplete without a helmet and
some of the materials for his
shoulders and knees. He too also had
14
brown hair, carefully styled that
complements his knightly attire.

Chapter 3: First Act

15
 Matt looked around, there were over
100 bodies of the similar monsters
which were terrorizing the galaxies.
However as they were dead, he
noticed something about all of them.
Chapter 3: First Act

Although these corpses were on the

ground, none of them had any
shadows. He set eyes on the 2
previously arguing duo and fell in
shock. Matt seemed to be waiting on
the same position he was in the air
from, despite releasing his energy
channeling and the person who’d
caused it was behind him, channeling
16
his scary and dark aura. {Dark
Reflection: Umbral Bind} The boy
floated in the air and went in front of
Matt, revealing his murder-free face
but with blood on his face. He had
two eyes fortunately for Matt,
shimmering with an enigmatic gleam,
a color known as onyx that showed

Chapter 3: First Act

quite his mysterious power along
with hair, dark and lustrous that
effortlessly falls in a tousled style
adding an air of mystery to his overall
appearance. His hair blew with a
subtle elegance due to the light wind
of the sphere’s turbulence. He wore a
trench that falls just below the knees.
It was made of deep blue navy- 17
 midnight fabric, representing a
reminiscent of a night sky. It also had
grey crescent shaped buttons for the
breasted front.
Chapter 3: First Act

18
 Chapter 3: First Act

19
 Matt looked at the guy in horror but
the boy unexpectedly smiled, “Hello
stranger what bring you here?,” his
eyes suddenly lit up an iris of pure
black, summoning two shadows from
behind him that seemed to have long
sharp claws.
Chapter 3: First Act

Despite the atmosphere he had

formed and created to creep Matt out
with, he kept a straight and
charismatic smile, “Perhaps you were
sent to capture us by your master,
Roy Graamore Shredder?” Matt
looked at him and sighed, “Like I’d
work with such an idiotic person with
20
a future of death only. How would he
even capture a Vane royal with our
tech-gen over 1000yrs…a power to
teleport using network itself in the
comfort of your home?” he asked.
The knight boy then rose up with his
words, “Are you really the Vanean
Prince, Matt Kabaya?” he asked with

Chapter 3: First Act

sophistication. Matt sighed added
with a little hopelessness, “Just how
do you think I can use telekinetic and
technological energy abilities?” he
asked. The Flame boy arose as well
and offensively says, “Oh it’s not
about your energy…it’s because of
your dressing…you look like a hippie.”
he said. Matt protested with burning 21
 anger, “Just who’re you to judge me
by my dressing you candle-looking
Sasquatch?” he shouted the insult
aloud, making the knight laugh and
the flame boy to heat up his anger.
Then, Matt faced the shadow boy,
“And you get me down at once right
Chapter 3: First Act

now!” he complained. However, the

shadow boy looked away, pretending
not to notice him or anything, making
Matt angrier. Then, the shadow boy
carefully began to land with Matt still
afloat because of his abilities elevated
a bit down. The knight clasped his
hands together and smile, “Alright!
22 Now that we’re almost all of us in one
position as the UG princes, let’s
introduce ourselves shall we?” he
released an honorable aura of a great
energy surge, “I’m Kyle Enderson, son
of Kyden and Victoria Enderson.
Apparently I’m supposed to be a Beta
energy master but due to the

Chapter 3: First Act

magnetic pull on this galaxy, it
reduced my power to a Nova energy
master. I use knight and soul energy.”
Kyle said.
Oh…forgot to mention this. Energy
mastery are in quite a hierarchy.
Mastering the true essence of energy
actually assists a person in developing
their series and matter of fact also 23
 assist in great energy channeling,
which makes it easier for any of them
to make barriers. Their hierarchy
highest peaks are Alpha and Omega
mastery. They both are the highest as
the energy mastery is said that a flick
of a person who’s Alpha or Omega
Chapter 3: First Act

level. Can destroy the Boundless

World. The one after Alpha and
Omega is Vital, which only destroys
multiverses and only. Then, Beta is
next, which ranges from galaxies to
multi-dimensions and lastly, the
lowest, Nova, which ranges from
planets to multi-planets. (Any who
24 range less than any were executed as
believers would think the child is a
cursed child. Some would lead to
murdering even the mother who gave
birth to the child.)
The flame boy stood up with his head
held high, “Firstly I’d like to say my

Chapter 3: First Act

name is not Sasquatch and just like
Mister Chivalry here, I too am on
Nova level,” he clears his throat and
continues, “I’m Blaze Striker, son of
Arthur and Cindy Striker. I have flame
energy only and I’m a master at hand-
to-hand combat.” Blaze said. Matt,
still afloat tried to get their attention
but they continued introducing each
other, the shadow boy was next. He 25
 sat down on the red surface of Mars
and supported his head using his
hand whilst his hand was to his
patted legs, “Scott Banks, son of
Victor and Violet Banks. As so my
power to was depleted to Nova level.
I only possess shadow energy as of
Chapter 3: First Act

the time being but I’ll be growing

stronger to know more of my well-
being.” Scott said. After Scott, the 3
looked to the whelping and barking
dog, Matt who stops his crazy
shouting and clears his throat, “[I’m
at their mercy right now, refusing
might even led to death sentence] I'm
26 Matt Kabaya, son of Reid and Yae
Kabaya. Energy mastery is the same
as all yours but I have an IQ of 350, EQ
560 and my energies are technological
and telekinetic. Scott smiled, “I'm
glad you went along. We’ll all get
along pretty well I presume.” he said
and with that, he released his series

Chapter 3: First Act

on Matt, making him fall face flat. He
stood up pissed as he dusted himself
off while everyone howled with
laughter. “I’ll deal with you guys later
but first, what did you mean when
you said we’re incomplete right now
Kyle?” Matt asked. Kyle put his finger
on his chin, “Oh there are 10 Upper
Galaxies…from what I’ve heard, the 27
 portals that sent us away from home
were created by a prince our age
using a mythical sword, The Sword of
Ere…Eye…Eter….whatever so if we
want to leave, we’ll first have to do
what we came here for.” Kyle said.
Scott sighs, “So we were sent by a
Chapter 3: First Act

forceful meeting, how critical this

person is.” he said. Blaze looked to
Matt, “Where do you think this sword
treasurer is?” he asked clenching his
fists. Matt sighed, “Well we’ll have to
look for him here cos he’s most likely
here. If not, then we’ll have to check
the rest of the planets.” he said. They
28 all agreed and in a group, they began
to search one place by one, walking
beside each other. As they were on
the way, Matt looked to Scott, “So did
you get help?” he asked. Confused,
Scott replied, “Hmm? Get help from
what?” “Did you get help from any
royal to defeat any of those

Chapter 3: First Act

monsters?” he asked again. Blaze
cheekily went into the conversation
and went on saying, “We took turns
fighting them.” he said.
Matt was startled by Blaze and way
more interested in the ‘we took
turns’, “How could you defeat an
enemy created by Roy himself?” Matt
asked. Scott responded, “Graamore 29
 contains a great murderous energy
which can even summon monstrous
things however they can’t have the
same energy level as him because by
channeling that, it’d reduce his own
mastery energy level. So……yeah
they’re pretty easy to beat.” Matt
Chapter 3: First Act

sighed, “Off course all of you can kill

them.
As they walked, they finally stumbled
across something on the ground
which seemed to remain in a bowing
stance, just meters away from them.
It was a person’s dead body. The body
had a sword by its side while his left
30
sapphire eye was closed and the
other mesmerizing eye opened. It
wore a long coat, unpinned with a
shirt and short, all pure white.

Chapter 3: First Act

31
 It was our own protagonist, James,
dead while kneeling, his eyes knocked
out in white. As the 4, Scott, Kyle,
Blaze and Matt were to approach the
body more closely, suddenly a small
shaking sound was heard while the
ground on Mars responded as well
Chapter 3: First Act

like a nursery rhyme.

Meanwhile, somewhere unknown,
James opened his eyelids in a place
shrouded by pure darkness. He
blinked twice trying to find the right
motive of the action until the pure
dark place shifted into a pure white
otherworldly area with nothing but
32
blankness. “[Seriously…where am I
right now? Is Claire ok? Is Iris ok? Why
is this room white?]” on that
moment, James slapped his cheeks
destroying all the questions he had
bombard himself with, “[No James
you’ve got to manage yourself just
wait for it to play out.]” he said. As

Chapter 3: First Act

the room of white was formed, so did
a figure that came out from the wall.
The only clothing seemed to be seen
wearing was a hoodie and to its face,
no body parts were seen. However
despite that, blood suddenly began to
flow and cascade from its face to it
hoodie. As the blood went in contact
with the white surface, the faint 33
 blood color of red began to dominate
the area, creating a wet and sloppy
color of red room around them.
Chapter 3: First Act

34
 Chapter 3: First Act

35
 As this happened non-noticeably, the
white hooded figure suddenly
appeared beside James and held his
shoulder. It seemed to wait for James
to scream or fear, however he
responded to all its action with a
blank and emotionless face along
Chapter 3: First Act

with a mocking yawn, “Wow and I

thought mother’s horror stories were
more boring how about you make a
bloody bed for me to sleep.” he said.
The figure gasped and then smiled,
“I’ve already expected this after all…I
should’ve known that all bag of balls’
generation would adapt to all of my
36
murder tricks.” the figure said. “Hey
let’s leave my grandpa outta this cos I
have a lot of questions I want you to
answer and if you don’t,” James
smiled menacingly, charging his blue
electric energy around, “I’ll remove
you from my head.” he said. The
figure clapped his hands, “Wow you

Chapter 3: First Act

even figured out that we’re in your
head amazing but the eliminating me
part is a no…no cos if you do, you’ll
die.” it said its words, shocking James
from the last word. “I-I'm still alive?
How is that possible? I was struck by a
death blow isn’t that what Graamore
said…” before James could finish, the
37
figure growled from the name,
 Graamore, “The Shredder family…but
anyways, off course the heathen
energy attack hit you for death but I
protected your body from being
affected,” he danced around, “In
simple terms, you’re not dead but in a
death’s sleep, hibernating.” said the
Chapter 3: First Act

figure. James looked at it confused,

“Hibernating? But that’s for animals.”
he said. “Well apparently, the
Swordmaster title you’ve been given
is considered a strong being…the
strongest being to be precise and he
was seen as an animal cos of his
methods of fighting. His power was
38
over being a being itself in any galaxy,
making a Swordmaster an animal.
James looked somber and pointed at
himself, “Does that instantly make me
an animal now?” he asked sniffling.
The figure looked at James, quite
compelled, “[Just who is this kid? He
can practically take my conjuring

Chapter 3: First Act

moves like a pro and yet just a simple
small thing that sounds like an insult
but is true…hurts him so much,]” the
figure pointed at James, startling him,
“Off course that makes you instantly
an animal. Yet you’re trapped in your
own mind. Are you even the actual
Swordmaster kid? Were you even
39
prepared for being one who will
 protect all the worlds even the ones
you don’t?” it asked. James rose his
hand childishly, “Actually, I just
picked up a sword that I thought was
a toy and then moved on home. Does
that count as preparation?” James
asked, making the figure feel
Chapter 3: First Act

hopeless. “Let me guess, you need to

grow stronger in order to free the
galaxies? You must be quite the
newly mannered one.” the figure
said. “Well actually I wanted to get
stronger to save my friends, Claire
and Iris but well, that can also work
too.” he said with a confident tone
40
shocking the white figure. “This kid...
‘sighs’ Fine I’ll train you but on 1
condition.” the white hooded figure
said smiling evilly. James looked at it
oblivious, “Oh…what is it?” he asked.
The figure went closer to James and
whispered a few words, shocking
James as it pulled away.

Chapter 3: First Act

Meanwhile, the princess who had
watched her parents get their ass
kicked, Iris appeared and landed
safely to the destination the Aura
Portals were to bring her. Her looks
were even more charming and cute,
with her gleaming blonde beautiful
and natural hair shining with the sun
41
and glowing. Her blue eyes too, which
 captivated her beauty stole the show.
They looked like windows of depth
and wonder with undeniable
magnetism that could catch the eye of
everyone who was passing by though
they did not approach her due to the
fact that they didn’t know her and she
Chapter 3: First Act

seemed like bait for robbers or

something. This was because her eyes
were a bit too watery, showing that
she might had been crying from the
whole journey of the Aura Portal
path. As Iris heard the chatters of
people’s voices, she rose her head to
look at her destination. Her eyes were
42 welcomed by the sign not too high
written ‘Maplewood, the hidden gem
of wonders. As she looked to her
front at a distance, blooming flowers
were seen dancing in the air from the
smooth breeze of the wind while the
gentle murmur melodies of birds
flying from above created what

Chapter 3: First Act

seemed to be the soundtrack that
peeked Iris’ interest.

43
44
Chapter 3: First Act
“[W-what am I doing here? I'm sure I
might find answers if I get in here.
After all, I seem to be a foreigner
around here.]” She said before
standing up from the ground. As the
by-passers noticed her standing, they
smiled as they thought that the little

Chapter 3: First Act

girl had remembered what she
wanted to do, leaving the girl entering
their area. She took light walks into
the town, looking at the eye-catching
architecture of Maplewood’s timeless
elegant and quaint camp sites and
huge mansion-looking houses. As she
was on her exploring, she stopped for
some minutes, tired of walking as she 45
 had seemed to reach the center of
Maplewood, where she introduced
herself to a central square, bustling
with local markets that tempted Iris’
senses with an array of fresh produce,
artisan crafts and mouth-watering
delicacies. She walked up to one of
Chapter 3: First Act

the local market owners. A woman

with a burger stand who notices her
simply. The woman had beautiful long
brown hair that she shook around to
make her look more beautiful than
before, held tightly to a bun using
what seemed to be chopsticks. She
wore a beautifully designed blue
46 kimono with a flowered design as she
warmly greeted Iris with a gentle
smile, “Hey little one, so what flavor
of the burgers would you like?” she
asked.

Chapter 3: First Act

47
Chapter 3: First Act

Iris looked around at her grill,

48 struggling on her tipsy-toes to look at
the burger meat and then sighed, “I’d
like a double-beef burger please if
that’s what you call It.” she said with
a happy tone. The market owner
smiled, “Awww……someone looks
excited to get a burger. That’ll be just
$1 little one.” she said as she let out a
nice well-made burger with no spills

Chapter 3: First Act

of any of the sauces. Iris checked in
her pockets. She had been wearing
her royal dress, a blue dress which
represented sparkles from the
diamond that it has which made
gleaming lights that danced around,
making the other kids with their
parents that were passing by look to
her with interest. Meanwhile as she 49
 checked in her pockets, she touched
two pieces of something which
seemed heavy a bit. She pulled out a
small chunk of gold, unscratched and
presented it to the market owner,
shocking her and the other market
owners who were present, “Uhm….is
Chapter 3: First Act

this enough miss?” she asked

oblivious of the atmosphere she had
created. The local market owner
looked at the child with widened
eyes, as if she had been shocked by
the site of the prosperous wind the
gold emanated, “Little one this is too
much…beyond enough.” she drew the
50 gold back to Iris, “Plus I don’t have
any change for all of this.” she said.
But as she finished, Iris had already
started walking away, heading her
own way, shocking the local woman.
She hopped to the lris, holding the
piece of gold in her hands as she tried
to hand her over the piece of gold as

Chapter 3: First Act

she seemed sweaty, “Oh little girl,
this is just too much, if you could, you
could return this gold piece to your
parents and it would be cool.” she
said. As she was talking, Iris simply
sunk her teeth into the beef burger,
creating a beautiful crunch sound
from the juicy ingredients that were
the lettuce and sauces. As the 51
 delicious tastes went to her mouth
and visited her taste buds, she
opened her eyes widely in
amazement. Her body and life glowed
as she had never tasted something so
scrumptious before. With her eyes
unseen, she drew the hand of the
Chapter 3: First Act

local market owner’s hand away from

her and said, “It’s worth it. I want you
ma'am to make a giant restaurant
that makes these meat and bread
delicacies,” the words made the local
market owner go out shocked as Iris
began to walk away after she let out a
smile to the local market lady,
52 “Consider this a gift from me to you
and to the rest of the world that’ll see
the beauty of your…what was the
name…yes burgers.” Iris said and
went back to exploring.
Maplewood was quite a beautiful
haven to Iris’ eyes and to everyone

Chapter 3: First Act

too. It had quite a social
neighborhood and a palpable
community spirit filled with events
and festivals that Iris let her eyes see.
From every corner she looked,
different events were in action and
people with smiles on their faces
filled the events’ population. But as
she looked around, taking in the
sights of the happy people, she 53
 suddenly felt a bewildering sensation
washing over her head. It was as if a
distant memory had resurfaced, a
fragment of a dream. Confusion
clouded her features and her eyes
widened with a mix of surprises as
she looked at her dress and the
Chapter 3: First Act

people around her. Normally, people

would’ve been filled around the
town, attempting to maybe shake her
hand or talk to her however, not even
a single being was willing to cope into
talking to her, as they seem to have 0
confidence into facing and even
peeping a word to her. Unbeknownst
54 to this, she subtly transformed,
revealing the hint of the mysterious
world which she called her home,
Ephnia. The fight she saw of her
father, Lucas along with her mother,
Ellen against the terrible monster,
Roy Graamore appeared in a full
beautiful quality. She said to herself,

Chapter 3: First Act

“Where am I? Why am I here? Are my
parents ok? I’ve got to know, where I
am.”
Before she seemed to have felt like
she was about to lose her mind and
comprehend her altered reality, a
bypassing stranger caught her
attention, who seemed to have been
repetitively looking at her and then 55
 looking away. Having full out
mustered courage to approach and
seek about the enchanting but
perplexing town of Maplewood, she
walked quickly to him and waving her
hand at him. However as she was
about to interact with the stranger, a
Chapter 3: First Act

sudden onslaught jolted her senses

into high alert. As she looked to a
distant way, her body froze in fear, as
if time stood still. A boy and a girl
who seemed a bit older than her who
had such a different menacing energy,
had laid eyes on her as they remained
afloat looking at Iris, as their similar
56 hair, silver ,blew with the wind along
with their black coats of green and
red stripes respectively.

Chapter 3: First Act

57
 Immediately taking her eyes on them
and seeing that they were bad news,
she began to immediately sprinted,
avoiding the twins. After seeing that
the chase had subsided, Iris finds
Chapter 3: First Act

herself in a dimly light alley, one of

the areas Iris never saw to notice and
want to see. She looked around the
area, asking herself what she had
been doing until she heard the most
unknown footsteps. To her eyes, a
group of shady individuals caught
sight of Iris and saw that her arrival
into the alley had been a blessing, as
58
they saw her precious diamond
covered dress and pockets which
seemed to have pockets full of gold.
Iris looked to the people and
immediately closed her eyes saying in
her head, “[Why am I here? I'm gonna
lose it…really soon…I can’t kill them
but…my instincts are telling me to…”

Chapter 3: First Act

before she could finish, a sudden
commotion shattered the problems.
Stains of blood were spat around of
the kidnappers and some of it were
on her face, shocking her. What made
her even more shocked was when she
heard some muffled and scuffling feet
echoing as they got even louder the
moment these people walked to her. 59
 As she looked up to the dead end of
the dark alley where the light was,
which was a fence that blocked the
way, she saw the 2 familiar who were
afloat sooner. Her heart and thoughts
changed about the two twins as she
immediately took a royal bow of
Chapter 3: First Act

gratitude, “Thank you fellow people

you’ve saved my life.” she said with a
smile. In her mind, she thought the
two twins were agreeing with the
motives, however on the contrary, it
seemed like trouble followed Iris even
when being rescued. The boy in the
air let out a grin which Iris heard
60 easily and rose his finger pointing at
Iris, “Princess Iris Daylurk, I, Shuya
Kawaguchi as Graamore’s fifth in
trust, has been entrusted along with
my sister, Hirona Kawaguchi to take
you as custody for a while,” he rose
his hand and smiled menacingly,
“Let’s go, Iris.” Shuya said. Iris’

Chapter 3: First Act

hopeful thoughts mingled into two
different emotions, which were anger
and sadness filling in her. Her eyes
could not be seen after the statement
that had been delivered by Shuya
which made Hirona sigh, “We
should’ve went with my original plan
of kidnapping her than doing this
Shuya guess you’re always bad in the 61
 head as always.” she said mockingly.
Shuya looked at her sister angrily,
“Don’t call me that when I'm try to
act cool sis.” he said with an angry
reverberating tone before starting a
short argument with his sister. But
amidst the short bout, which seemed
Chapter 3: First Act

to represent the two siblings as two

sheep with cotton meandering
around them, a sudden presence
emerged causing their senses to
tingle. As they gazed to the location
of the menacing energy, they were
immediately shocked to see Iris
indeterminably standing in a stance of
62 protest, down the alley. She looked to
the twins , a smile playing across her
face menacingly, as she generated her
energy as though she were preparing
to attack, “[I don’t know why I'm here
right now but as long as I'm still
living.]” she rose her head with a
menacing smile, “[I’ll never forgive

Chapter 3: First Act

whoever Graamore is…so I won’t join
these nitwits.]” she back up, in a sign
of defense and hostility, “It seems like
you two are inviting me so I guess I
have option. I’m gonna have to pass
on my behalf. Do any of you oblige
with my decision?” Iris said
confidently. She was caught in the
crossfire. With a sigh of defeat, the 63
 twins never resisted to follow their
choices. One of them, Shuya rose his
left hand and pointed at her,
generating his massive sensation of
energy that charged him up to attack
and Shuya sighed in defeat yet again,
"Then so be it. We will be taking the
Chapter 3: First Act

produce injured then." he said with a

weak tone before he was about
incant an attack, “Devious Docile
series: Whispering Gale.” On that
moment, a great wind surrounded
him and as he drew a hand pointing
at Iris, a number of wind slashes
appeared rushed at Iris with
64 murderous intent.
 Chapter 3: First Act

65
 However as the attacks hurled
towards Iris, with remarkable agility,
she barely dodged the first
impressions but after a few moments,
she had already adapted to the
attacks movements, easily dodging
the air slashed until Shuya let go of
Chapter 3: First Act

his concentration, releasing his series

technique. His sister, Hirona reacted
to his attacks with a seemingly
unfazed and disappoint look at Shuya,
“Wow…I knew you were a weakling
to some point but have limits,
brother.” she said, angering him.
After doing that, Hirona smiled and
66 her aura increased. Then, she
combined her hands, “Primordial
Essence: Stone Bound.” and as she
commanded, stones suddenly formed
into shards that like bullets, rapidly
shot at Iris with such unseen able
speed, over light speed.

Chapter 3: First Act

67
Chapter 3: First Act

Entrusting her attacks would be prior

to strike, she looked away from her
68 victim. Iris looked at the attack
somehow with her eyes, with such a
synchronizing act that they were
moving quite at a normal pace of a
stone that had been thrown. Iris had
been filled up with confidence that if
she used the energy within her, she’d
easily escape the mess and go back to
the beautiful and better suburbs

Chapter 3: First Act

surroundings of Maplewood. With
great and amazing swiftness, she
dodged the rock shards and with
amidst speed as she hopped and
blocked some of them in the air, she
landed carefully as possible, shocking
the twins. The surprise on the faces of
the Kawaguchis, the assailants was
evident, their confidence waning as 69
 Iris stood, unharmed but panting a bit
with a smile, “Hey you 2, is that the
best you got?” she asked seemingly
fueling the anger. She had
transformed into a more gorgeous
princess' clothing ready for their next
attacks. Shuya looked at her with a
Chapter 3: First Act

frightening look, “Hmm…seems

someone wants to look like the
powerful one here,” he surrounds
himself with the wind yet again.
Hirona looked at Iris and sighed,
“What a pest…but one with benefits.
What a pain.” she said more rocks as
they started to form. The twins
70 shouted both at the same time, “That
disgusts me!” they said, attacking Iris
at the same time at once. However,
as Iris had read all the moves and
their actions, she seemed to already
make her avoiding move and had
already seen the weak spots of the
attacks as well. Like a graceful dancer,

Chapter 3: First Act

she sidestepped, ducked, twirled and
sometimes using her bare hands,
destroyed the attacks, evading and
avoiding every attack with fluid
elegance making the twins smile from
every action, “I guess you’re not the
princess of Ephnia for nothing after
all. Reading our attack move were a
mere dance practice for you 71
 however,” the twins suddenly held
hands, charging and combining their
energies into one shocking Iris and
giving her a life of thoughtful regret.
She had toll out a lot of her stamina
from the frequent attacks from the
two’s individual attacks. How was she
Chapter 3: First Act

going to avoid a combined attack?

As the twins seemed to see that the
time was right, Shuya and Hirona
directed their hands at Iris, who
remained standing due to tiredness.
Then, the 2 sent their coordinated
attack, “Combined Series: Whispering
Tempestuous.” A combination of a
72
wind slash which in also carried the
stone shards rushed at Iris and there
in Iris’ head everything went dark. It
seemed like the threat of her meeting
danger anywhere was going to finally
get her killed. She envisioned her
parents, smiling to her with their
usual gentle smiles that made her day

Chapter 3: First Act

and laughed weakly, “I guess they did
mean something when they said life
flashes before your eyes in death. I'm
going to be killed by people I don’t
know much about, what’s even worse
is that I haven’t achieved my goal,
killing Roy Graamore Shredder,” she
sighed and closed her eyes, “I'm sorry
mom, I couldn’t save anyone because 73
 of my uselessness.” Iris said, awaiting
for the death blow.

However as the twins did not expect,

their formidable assault suddenly
collided with something else, as the 2
Chapter 3: First Act

moves competed against each other.

To Iris’ front, was a colossal wall
seemed like a shield made of
materialized ice.

74
 Chapter 3: First Act

The wall barely withstood the

onslaught of the Whispering 75

Tempestuous that it shattered into

 fragments along with the combined
attack. Hirona and Shuya looked
around, determined to find who had
the guts to actually be responsible for
the impromptu defense. However, it
seemed like the individual was a
ghost to them as no one seemed to
Chapter 3: First Act

appear to them. However to their

astonishment, and illusion suddenly
enveloped Iris, causing her to vanish
instantly before their very eyes along
with the area that had been
developed. Bewildered, the twins
looked around once more and to the
very small exit which was the fence
76 leading to other alleys, sprinting with
Iris in their hands, were 4 other girls
who had come to her aid. One of
them, a girl with striking orange hair
and captivating green eyes saw that
the illusion had disappeared and
laughed nervously, “Hehe…I thought
that a small show would be enough I

Chapter 3: First Act

guess I was wrong.” she said. Shuya
looked too convinced and pissed off
by the action. He summoned a great
wind that rushed at them but to his
surprise, the orange haired one fell
back with from the pace the others
were running. Her green eyes lit up
beautifully reflecting a great
aftermath, “Phantasies Remedy: 77
 Create.” As soon as she said that, a
skillfully employed illusion was
created. A creative wall was made,
consequently leaving the twins
perceiving only an impenetrable hard
veil instead of the intended targets,
seemingly making the rescue mission
Chapter 3: First Act

a success.
Iris’ gaze shifted towards the group of
girls that had bravely come to her aid,
but her first impression attention to
their similarity, they were all in royal
dressware, “[Are they all…lost like
me?]” she asked herself. She first
looked at the first individual, the
78
chocolate-rich dark-skinned girl who
wore an elegant blue gown,
symbolizing her affiliation with the
element of ice.

Chapter 3: First Act

79
 Iris was about to gather the courage
to thank her for saving her but the
intensity in her deep brown eyes and
the seriousness in her demeanor
spoke volumes of her unwavering
Chapter 3: First Act

resolve. She kept her words at ease

and looked to the other girl by her
side, who had vibrant light green eyes
and flowing dark green hair. She
gracefully donned the princess dress
with the same color (hue) emblematic
of her kind and compassionate
nature.

80
 Chapter 3: First Act

81
 There was an aura of warmth that
radiated from her, making her look
easily sociable and a beacon of
comfort and support. The next one
had amber red-eyes and flowing red
hair capturing Iris’ attention next. It
was as if a touch of enigma danced in
Chapter 3: First Act

the depths of those captivating eyes,

reflecting the girl’s inherently
mysterious nature. She wore a
captivating red dress embodying her
allure and intrigue.

82
 Chapter 3: First Act

And last but not least Iris gazed

settled upon the girl who had deftly
83
employed the power of illusion
 energy against the twins. With an
infectious excitement and a perpetual
air of happiness, she seemed to light
up space around her. Her attire, a
shimmering princess’s dress, bespoke
her playful and adventurous spirit,
always ready to embrace life’s
Chapter 3: First Act

wonders with an unyielding zest.

84
 Chapter 3: First Act

As she felt her courage returning to 85

thank the remark of what she had

 done sooner, she was about to utter a
word, she was cut, “You’re the
princess of Ephnia yet you struggled
against a bag of brats. Why are you
acting like such a drag?” she said
rudely. “W-well i-it’s just t-that…”
However the green haired girl
Chapter 3: First Act

interjected, showing kindness and

understanding, “It’s not her fault
Talia, she was swept in the
predicament just like the rest of us.”
The red haired girl sighed, seemed to
be annoyed by the green haired girl’s
response, “But you know she could’ve
just dumped those losers with her
86 sovereign energy…imagine all the
beautiful blood that would be spilt.”
she said with quite a smile of
happiness. The girl who had fallen
back, finally gained her persistence
and went along with the pace of the
others, “Alright shall we introduce
ourselves I think we lost those 2

Chapter 3: First Act

pests,” she expressed her hyper
activeness by shaking her hands, “I'm
Auriana Rima, the princess of the
galaxy Aetheria.” she said with a
smile. The girl who had struck Iris
with her cold words went next, “I'm
Talia Xyrus of Xyrilon Falls.” Then, the
charismatic girl with green hair went
next, “I'm Avery Aether.” Then lastly, 87
 the redhead went, “I'm Isabella
Moriah.” Iris observed the dynamics
of the girls and quickly pieced things
together as she thought. She thought
she was all alone, carrying the weight
of problems as the only princess who
had been transported in a world she
Chapter 3: First Act

never knew but she was wrong. The

legacy of the 5 Upper Galaxies that
were being destroyed, were in the
hands of these 4 along with her.
As Iris was about to thank them with
all her heart with a gentle but little
smile, screeches are heard around the
area, shocking even the town’s
88
people who were in the sunlight. As
the princesses looked up, they
spotted over 20 beasts, flying
monsters that were in the air, in
search of them. As they locked eyes
on the princesses, with speed, they
descended upon them in their
speeding state. Iris felt a mixture of

Chapter 3: First Act

fear and awe as she saw the monsters
coming to them until she felt at ease,
when Isabella stopped running with
them, “I guess it’s my turn to try my
own technique,” she said smiling
before holes on her legs suddenly
began to form, creating a pool of
blood that surrounded her until she
pointed her right hand at the 89
 monsters that were approaching,
“Crimson Wings series: Haemokinetic
Scarlet.” and on that moment, an
explosion was unleashed and not of a
nuclear kind. Using her own blood, a
massive explosion was formed that in
devastation, destroyed the monsters
Chapter 3: First Act

at once, as they fell to her sides the

moment landing.

90
 Chapter 3: First Act

Iris looked at Isabella, who was 91

covered in blood, her princess dress

 also ripped off and changed yet
despite that, was smiling as she
looked back at them, and said with an
aroused tone, “Blood…what a truly
mesmerizing force it has.” However as
true admiration grew so did they not
notice their surroundings as they
Chapter 3: First Act

were short-lived. All of their mere

exits including their route-way they
had passed by had been covered
around by enemies that blocked their
path. The twins, Shuya and Hirona
were afloat, hovering as they covered
up the space. “I'm tired of playing cat
and mouse,” he rose his hand,
92 forming an external force to his hand
where if he moved it with great force,
a wind slash would be formed. Talia
looked up to Shuya, “Then how about
a game instead, Shuya Kawaguchi?”
she asked, shocking Shuya and Hirona
as they had never confirmed their
names to them. However with

Chapter 3: First Act

curiosity in check, he said, “A game
you say, Xyrilon Princess?” Shuya
exclaimed, a glint of excitement in his
eyes as the wind blew his silver hair
sideways. Hirona looked at Shuya
with a worriedness and an annoyed
sister’s, “She’s obviously trying to
trick you dimwit!” she said angrily.
Auriana smiled, “You know if you 93
 think about it, we actually give you a
free hit here,” she rose her hands, “If
we were tricking you, we would’ve
just left here sooner using my
illusions. We’re trust-able enough
here, Hirona.” Auriana said. Shuya
and Hirona insisted on playing along
Chapter 3: First Act

but as they did, Avery suddenly

elevated into the air, shocking Iris. As
Iris observed what had made them
rise to the scenery, she noticed a
massive plant that was easily
supporting the weight of both Avery
and Talia. Rising higher, their
determination echoed through the air
94 as they confronted the twins with a
proposition, looking to different sides,
Avery at Hirona, Talia at Shuya. “If we
emerge victorious,” Talia declared
with a serious and resolve voice,
“You’ll release us from your very
grasps. But should we fail, we will
accompany you willingly, as the old

Chapter 3: First Act

tin man desires.” Hirona and Shuya
returned each other looks and looked
down smiling, “Lord Graamore would
be happy if we actually added a little
story to his packages with a little
tormented detail.” said Hirona.
Undeterred and calculating their own
probability thoughts of winning, the
twins accepted with confident smirks, 95
 prepared to engage in battle, “We
accept your battle but let us warn you
not to break any bones during this
event.” Shuya said. Talia let out a
smirk, “You seem too confident of
your victory.” she said. Hirona
cackled, “That’s because we’re
Chapter 3: First Act

winning.” she said. The 4 prepared

themselves for their imminent clash,
ready to showcase their powers and
outsmart their adversaries.
Back at Mars, the princes continued
their pursuit on the boy who held the
Sword of Eternity. They ventured
further through the maroon planet
96
and their struggles in search led them
to lifeless body they all spotted
together at once. It really looked like
a boy, his body lied looking up, his
captivating and lighting blue eyes
remained open as his striking black
hair seemed to also been being blown
by the wind. “Oh my, would you look

Chapter 3: First Act

at that? A dead man is just there,”
Blaze uttered, “What’re we gonna do
with it now?” he asked with sarcasm.
Scott looked at the body and a
sudden dark energy was sensed, a
great pouring and menacing energy
that seemed to stab his eyes the
moment he set eyes on it, making him
fall on the ground. Matt looked at 97
 Scott, “Uhm…is something wrong?”
he asked obliviously. Scott pointed at
the body, his eyes looking at it filled
with fear, “T-that child is not
dead…he’s s-s-still a-alive.” he said
stammering. Kyle looked at him and
then with courage, pulled out his
Chapter 3: First Act

sword, “I’ll check if he is.” he said.

Blaze looked at him with a serious
look, “What’re you gonna do?” he
asked. “I'm gonna stab him.” he said,
before ignoring all the protests of all
of them and walking towards the
dead body. As he however reached
about 2 meters away from the body, a
98 tremendous energy surged through
the air which Kyle luckily sensed.
Kyle’s instincts kicked in, alerting him
to a threat. Swiftly, he evaded the
incoming attack, narrowly escaping a
powerful blast of blue lightning that
struck from his left side. As he looked
to where the attack had been

Chapter 3: First Act

originated there, fear induced in
them. A magnificent dragon
materialized, its scales shimmering
with a vibrant blue hue of electricity.
It crackled its blue lightning as it
fiercely defended the motionless
body which seemed in the boys’ eyes,
a way to protect its meal.
99
Chapter 3: First Act

100 Scott assesses the situation as they

thought, “Seems someone’s
protecting their dinner for tonight.”
said Scott. Kyle looked to the 3 and
giggled, as he unsheathed his
gleaming sword with a lot of rust yet
greater energy in the moonlight,
“Look out everyone, stand aside,” he
points his sword at the dragon, “I’ve

Chapter 3: First Act

been slaying things like this ever since
I was 4 years they are nothing
compared to me." he said as he wore
what seemed to be a metal helmet,
glinting as he wore. Blaze looked to
him curiously, then let his hands in
the air, “All on you chief, you’re not
sure what these dragons are from
but…” he releases a thumbs up to 101
 him, “I think you can do it.” Blaze said
optimistically. Kyle laughed along
with Blaze, as Matt and Scott looked
to them like dumb people as the
dragon released a lightning ball at
Kyle. As expected of his power and
pride, Kyle disappeared with great
Chapter 3: First Act

unseen able speed, dodging the

attack before appearing in front of
the dragon, closing the distance
between them completely. Then, he
drew his sword as fast as possible to
stab the dragon, however, as the
scales met the sword, a clanging
sound hit, making the attack
102 impenetrable to the skin of the
dragon. Kyle looked at the skin of the
dragon, shocked out of his mind, “Of
all the years I’ve trained, I haven’t
met a dragon with the skin that a
sword can’t go through,” He looked
up to the dragon, it’s blue eyes
piercing at Kyle as he gritted his

Chapter 3: First Act

teeth, “But this thing is its own breed,
could it be…a dragon from Arkus?” he
asked himself before the dragon
released an energy surged crackling
bolt that somehow Kyle was faster
than and dodged easily. Kyle smiled
to himself, “I guess I’ll have to go all
out then.” he said with a proud smile.
He disappeared with quite a sonic 103
 speed, over 1000x the speed of light,
surprising the dragon which
countered itself by roaring, releasing
a great web surge of lightning that
went around everywhere like flawless
slashes. However as it did, Kyle
appeared behind it to slice its head
Chapter 3: First Act

from behind which failed as it reacted

quickly the moment it saw him. A bolt
from the most unknown places which
was underground, struck Kyle like an
uppercut. However, as he got struck
by the attack, Kyle rose his head,
“Calamity Series: Shield Slam!” he
shouted and there, to his opposite
104 hand, a shield appeared, with its
weight, dropping upon on the
dragon’s head along with Kyle. As
Kyle was on top of its head, he
focused his power onto his sword,
“Calamity Series: Piercing Thrust!”

Chapter 3: First Act

105
 Chapter 3: First Act

106
with a concentrated force, he thrusts
his sword with all his might and there,
the blade pierced through the
dragon’s scales and into its skin,
making it roar with quite anger. As he
seemed to feel that he was winning,
the dragon roared even louder and on

Chapter 3: First Act

that moment a great bound and thaw
of lightning struck the dragon and
Kyle, forming a word in Japanese,
“Arashi no Densetsu.” Scott looked
and tried to walk into the fight but
Blaze took grip of his hand and
nodded, “Don’t go there yet, just wait
a moment,” he sighed, “We need to
check on our team’s weaknesses if 107
 we’re going to be working together to
stop Graamore. Let him continue for
some time, you’ll go in when you see
that the time is right.” said Blaze with
a smile. Convinced, Scott let go of
what was happening and back to the
fight, Kyle was now struggling from
Chapter 3: First Act

the electric shock, walking with a

paralyzed motion. “I'm not gonna fall
yet though, not gonna lie,” he looked
up to the dragon, “I never expected
such an attack, an Intra-cloud beam. If
such an attack is seen from this
monster then why does it want the
dead boy’s body for a meal. Could he
108 have too the same energy with it that
may increase it?” he asked his
bombastic questions in his head but
then the dragon looked furiously at
Kyle who smirked, “Guess I’ll have to
find out myself then.” he said before
rushing at the dragon once more.

Chapter 3: First Act

Back to the princesses, the clash
between Avery Aether partnering up
with Talia Xyrus against the
Kawaguchi twins continued. Shuya,
with the power of wind and having
advantage according to be with
unlimited power, unleashed powerful
gusts that swirled and whipped
around him, creating a veil against
any offensive attacks. Hirona, in tune 109
 with the power of the stones,
manipulated giant and sharp-pointed
boulders beneath their opponents’
feet, attempting to snare and restrict
Talia and Avery’s movements.
However as the fight had been read
easily, Avery used her flora’s growth
Chapter 3: First Act

and strong ripe branches against

Hirona’s boulders, completely
obliterating them before they got
close. As for Talia, she attempted to
freeze the gust veil Shuya had applied
to himself as she also clashed against
his air slash attacks. The conflict
escalated, the twins skillfully
110 countered the princesses’ elemental
assaults with their combined attacks,
as an attempt to destroy the solo
work they were involved in. However,
as they attempted to go further with
their actions, Talia’s icy blasts using
her frost energy clashed with Shuya’s
gusts in the combined attack as

Chapter 3: First Act

Avery’s formidable and quick plant
went along and outpaced Hirona’s
boulder and rock shard speeding
attacks, attempting to impede her
control over the battlefield. The twins
looked in confusion and shock,
“When did they become so strong?”
they said to themselves whispering.
As the twins were now over- 111
 exaggerated and attacked to the
heart by how much the two were
overpowering them, Talia and Avery
took their chances. With ingenuity
and persistence to their advantage,
the princesses managed to
outmaneuver and wear down their
Chapter 3: First Act

adversaries. “Frostbite series: Ice

Meander.”

112
 Chapter 3: First Act

She incanted and on that moment,

beside Talia appeared beams of ice 113

which shot out at Shuya’s gust veil,

 completely freezing the formed ward
in contact.
It continued to spread as until the ice
had frozen Shuya’s body from his feet
to his neck, restricting him from
moving. As for Avery, using her
Chapter 3: First Act

strongest plant, with a swift motion,

it ensnared Hirona’s limbs, leaving her
temporarily immobilized.

114
 Chapter 3: First Act

115
 The twins looked up at the two,
Aether and Xyrus, who had defeated
them and had stood in a determined
position with smirks at them. “[H-how
c-could w-we have lost to t-them of
all the people?]” They asked mentally
together in their heads. Talia walked
Chapter 3: First Act

up to Shuya who struggled and

shrugged and smiled at him, “Do you
yield?” she asked.
Realizing that the tables had turned
they sighed, “Fine…you win,” he said
increasing the 2’s hopes up as the
plant Avery and Talia had been
supported with shrank. Avery
116
released her series from Hirona as
Talia too released her series from
Shuya, leaving them falling face first
to the ground. But as they were left
falling, Hirona smiled to the monsters
which were to the ground at a last
moment, signaling something. In a
moment of seconds, the monsters

Chapter 3: First Act

rushed at the 5 princesses, trapping
them from every side with an intent
of tormenting them. Auriana looked
to the scene and tried to use her
illusive series so as to avoid the
monsters. However, as she never
expected nothing formed from her
power as she seemed tired of
running, “Uhm….girls we,” she panted 117
 heavily, “We have….a-a problem.”
Auriana said with a bit of a
stammered voice. Talia sighed, “Yet I
don’t have energy to get us out of
here without causing pan as well.
[Isabella used her blood to destroy
those flying animals and Avery helped
Chapter 3: First Act

me fight those 2 liars. We don’t have

a match against them rather with
number advantage as well,]” after
saying that in her head, she looked at
Avery, Isabella and Auriana, “Guess
we’ll have to go through all of this
even with injuries girls. Let’s go!’ she
shouted, cracking her knuckles as the
118 3 exceeded to the other side. Iris
observed the area and looked to all
the different sides, everyone was
using their last might to attack the
enemy, which made Iris look
disappointed in herself, as she had
never had used any of her energy to
contribute to their escape, “E-

Chapter 3: First Act

everyone’s trying for all of
us……except for me,” suddenly a
shocking energy shuttled around the
area, shocking all of them. They faced
to Iris, the energy surfer who had
never felt such a great force
escalating in her. The Sovereign
Crown, which was floating on her
head, flowed with the power, 119
 surprising all the princesses before Iris
stood a bit afloat facing her hands at
every direction.
Chapter 3: First Act

120
As Talia looked to the signal she fell in
shock and warned everyone,
“Everyone fall back, she’s gonna do
something.” she said which made all
of them go down and jumping under

Chapter 3: First Act

Iris. As they did, “Simple Sovereign
series: Divine Smite.” she said and
there, a great energy surge blasted at
all the monsters, filled with different
emotions, destroying all the monsters
which were around them. As the task
was completed, the energy surge
stopped and returned back to Iris,
making her fall down in a defeated
manner and fainting, leaving the 121
 princesses blinking twice with a
comedy like look, “Who is she?!” they
shouted in their question. Talia
returned back to her senses, “Alright
now that’s covered, we need to find a
place to occupy.” she looked to the
princesses, “Anyone have some loose

change?”
Meanwhile, Kyle was about to be
defeated by what was the dragon that
had pinpointed him to the verge of
defeat and was also about to release
its Arashi no Densetsu yet again upon
him, Scott intervened. Using his
shadow lock move, he manipulated
122
the dragon’s shadow and stopped it in
its tracks, making it stop from
releasing its cannon attack. Its color
changed upon stopping the attack,
turning its head into a blue hue color
showing, that the dragon seemed to
deplete a lot of energy upon doing
the risky attack.

As Kyle saw what had happened,
instead of being thankful, he looked
furiously at Scott, “Why did you save
me? I could’ve handled it myself!” he
said with a seriously pissed off tone.
Scott sighed, “I know but Matt made
me stop the fight something like

Chapter 3: First Act

we’re doing the wrong thing and
we’re misunderstanding each other.”
he said with a high tone returning a
lazy voice. Kyle walked to Matt with a
step to instill fear upon him but even
with Kyle standing in front of him and
looking eye to eye to him, he stood
with an annoyed expression. “So
what’s the problem? Why did you 125
 stop my fight?” asked Kyle. Matt
sighed deeply, “Well you were about
to kill what was the corpse over
there, oh sorry the man who Scott
said is still alive’s pet.” said Matt.
“Yeah well he’ll have to deal with
that,” Kyle pulled out his sword
Chapter 3: First Act

shining its metal into Matt’s eyes,

“Unless you have a problem with it,
I’ll kill both you and the dragon.” he
said with razor-sharp eyes showing no
resistance to murdering Matt. Matt
laughed softly, “Oh please we both
know it,” Matt looked at Kyle with a
smile menacingly, shocking Kyle, “We
126 both know that even if you had the
balls to kill the dragon or not, with
what Scott said about the boy on the
ground, if he finds out about his
dragon being killed, he’ll kill you, now
if you’ll excuse me I’ll be
communicating with the dragon
now.” said Matt as he walked to the

Chapter 3: First Act

dragon. Scott looked at Matt, “Are
you sure you’re able to communicate
with the dragon? It'll kill you if it
doesn’t understand with your
reasoning.” said Scott with a serious
expression. Matt with his eyes
unseen, pulled out a pair of glasses
that shined as he smiled, “Life isn’t
fun if you don’t take risks.” said Matt 127
 as he proceeded to the dragon. As he
finally stood in front of the dragon, he
noticed the height differences
between them but never seemed
fazed by how the dragon tried to
electrify him. Then from his ear, Matt
extracted what seemed to be a
Chapter 3: First Act

communicating technological
equipment. Made of what seemed to
be a metal, he smiled, “The thing to
our victory is right here we’ll go on till
the end.” he said with a crazy
expression. Scott looked at Matt,
“What is that?” he asked curiously.
“My InterSonic Transceiver, it cuts out
128 all what seems to be different
language disruptions and the
frequency that is what differentiates
languages in order for them to never
understand each other and makes it
into a straightforward frequency in
order for me to understand and
communicate with monsters with

Chapter 3: First Act

even English.” said Matt with his
analytical reasoning that almost burnt
all of their minds. Matt looked at
them with pity, “Too bad you won’t
understand it, you old generations in
technology.” Matt faced back his
attention to the dragon which made a
low-growl and there, Matt waved his
hands at the dragon, “Don’t worry 129
 we’re not here to cause harm to your
master dragon we’re stranded and
confused just like you, it may have
been a misunderstanding but we’re
not your enemy. Someone
very…very,” Matt faced his left index
finger at Kyle, “Stupid was well trying
Chapter 3: First Act

to compare power against you and

failed to comply what seemed to be
the relation between us. Can we just
mend fences to understand each
other?” Matt finished his reasoning to
the dragon, the dragon roared fiercely
and released arcs of lightning around
it. The 4 boys who were at a distant
130 away from the blue dragon and Matt
thought the dragon was about to
attack but Matt waved his hands at
Scott to show him to release his
technique. Scott proceeded on doing
so as he told the others to walk to
them.

Chapter 3: First Act

With less trust in handed despite it,
they went to them as the dragon
began to talk to them, “My deepest
apologies to all of you, I was too
considerate that you may were
Graamore’s servants who were sent
to make sure my master was
eliminated completely, anyways I'm
Zephyr, my master gave me that
name.” said the dragon with a bassful 131
 voice. The 3 boys' eyes widened from
their self-introspection, the talking
dragon in front of them. Blaze
nervously chuckles, “It was all a
misunderstanding don’t worry.
Anyways, what happened to your
master, Zephyr?” he asked with
Chapter 3: First Act

curiosity. Zephyr sat down, “If you

really want to know it was just two
days ago, I was still a baby dragon by
that time.” the dragon said, shocking
all the boys. “I haven’t heard of a
dragon that grows so fast, normally
it’d take over a month for dragons to
grow as large as you.” said Kyle with a
132 surprised tone. Zephyr blinked, “Oh…I
thought it was normal but I can tell
you…I'm an ancient type of dragon
from over a century ago called Raikan
dragons,” Zephyr cleared his throat,
“Anyways back to what I was saying,
my master was quite reckless from his
actions, he went head-on to where

Chapter 3: First Act

Graamore was and was badly struck
by an attack that was supposedly
fatal but he survived it.” he said with
a worried tone, “From that day, he
laid down on the ground after making
his escape successful, I'm not sure if
he’s still alive but I believe he is.”
Scott looked at the body, still sensing
the dark presence from it, “I'm sure 133
 he is, he’s still generating an energy
but…it’s frightening. How did this
happen?” asked Scott. Zephyr
explained from the time James left his
house and the moment he got on the
ship, as he mentioned his name and
the galaxy he was from, the men fell
Chapter 3: First Act

into deep realization as they

understood what James had planned
and done. “So he was the one who
made the Aura Portals…but why did
he choose us?” asked Blaze.
“Apparently, James had not mastered
his series’ techniques so……his move
was randomly placing everywhere.”
134 said Zephyr. Kyle shook his head,
“Nah…there’s no way it was placed
randomly, if it was random, he would
have also caught our princes but it
practically took only the princes of
the Upper Galaxies,” he rose his
hands, “But that’d be question
answered for another time if we

Chapter 3: First Act

awaken him off course.” Scott patted
Zephyr, “Don’t worry, we’ll save your
master we’ll make him return.” The
boys stretched, “For now we’ve got to
train fighting and our powers, to take
down the colonizer, Graamore.” they
said.
The boys proceeded on doing these
training activities that helped in 135
 making them gain muscle and
improve their physical strength along
with improving their combat abilities
and speed. They did this using Zephyr
sometimes and amongst each other
as time slipped away. Then on one
fateful day, Scott committed, “Hey
Chapter 3: First Act

guys how about we make a team to

call ourselves, that’d be pretty cool.”
he said on the Martian moonlight.
Blaze supported, “That would be cool,
let’s call ourselves the
Combustineers…” he said making all
the boys look at him. Matt shined his
glasses, “It should relate to our
136 powers together, is that what I can
help you from your misdirection
Blaze?” Matt asked. Kyle chuckled,
“Simple we’ll call ourselves
Chivalry…” he insisted, responded
with an even thinner air. Scott then
snapped his fingers, “I’ve got it! What
if it doesn’t really must relate to us?

Chapter 3: First Act

Like Xentrix?” said Scott? Despite
being non-knowing of what the name
meant, it sounded pretty badass to
them, “Xentrix sounds pretty good
and the leader will probably you Scott
cos you thought of this.” said Matt
clinging his glasses.

‘And just like that…… 137

 The first team of the
new generation,
Xentrix was made.’
Chapter 3: First Act

Meanwhile, James undergone in his

mind, training with the most grueling
procedures that even made him
surpass his wildest expectations with
the help of the mysterious white
bloody figure which he never knew
much about. Time seemed to pass by
as well with him along with wrapping
138
him as days bled into weeks and
weeks into months. Eventually with
this training that demanded physical
and a bit of mental stability to unfold
James’ protracted passage that
surpasses his own expectations, it
made him lose touch with the reality
of the outside world from his head.
This created an immersive sense of

Chapter 3: First Act

suspension and disconnection, as
James delved deeper into the nature
of his experience.
After an astonishing lifespan of 8
years, James was now 17 years old
now, inside and outside of his mind.
James had been training to a point
that his whole body was ripped with
pure muscle worked hard for to 139
 produce in a beautiful nature-like
area which he usually used every day
full of monsters going along with
James’ prolly over-sped power. He
held two swords, one surging with a
dark presence and the other with an
unusually constant pulsating presence
Chapter 3: First Act

that seemed to overwhelm the dark

presence.

140
 Chapter 3: First Act

He struck the monsters as he talked

to the white figure with the hoodie, 141

“What a wonderful morning isn’t it

 master?” asked James as he knocked
off a goblin’s head, spilling blood all
over his clothes. The white figure
sighed, “It’s always morning you
already know that and why don’t
you?” asked the white figure. James
confused questioned, “What do you
Chapter 3: First Act

mean?” he said as he was fighting an

outnumbering number of monsters
using his fighting styles of breaking
attacks as every punch he made sonic
airwaves that destroyed the distant
planets simply without any effort. As
soon as the white figure heard him it
sighed, “Don’t play dumb you know
142 this is not the real world and you’re
training to protect your promises and
vows to your friends and father.” he
said and on that moment, James froze
as he felt the prompt awakening
within himself. This pivotal moment
blasts into James’ mind a flood of
memories he had threw off and

Chapter 3: First Act

resurfaced within his consciousness,
including his deep-seated vow to
himself to protect Claire and Iris, as
well as the solemn oath he made to
Jamie Combat, his father to save and
free the rest of the fallen Upper
Galaxies that had been encroached by
Graamore’s colonization. “I
remember now...,” he held his head, 143
 “What have I been doing? They might
be dead by now. Damnit!” James
shouted angrily, releasing what
seemed to be a sense of emotional
turbulence and introspection. With an
unknowing integer, he rushed like a
wave with countless strikes,
Chapter 3: First Act

annihilating all the monsters which

were around him before panting,
whilst holding his sword and looking
down, "There's no hope, I've been
living mindlessly of what has been
going on in reality. By now, Graamore
might've already ruled all the
galaxies." he blamed himself of his
144 thoughts. The white figure
approached James who had fell to his
knees and then knelt to his level,
“You had forgotten such important
information? It’s such a shame
really.” it said waving its hands up
and about, "But don't worry I’m
typically sure that Graamore can't

Chapter 3: First Act

rule all the Upper Galaxies in a space
of 7 years, that would be a fortune for
him." he said laughing. James
grabbed the white figure’s collar
which tried to protest until James
looked at it with a bit anger but
sorrow in his eyes which shocked it,
“Please…help me leave this place. I’ll
do anything…that’s a promise.” he 145
 said. Despite being to the victim level,
the white figure smiled evilly,
“Anything huh?” suddenly from a
flash, James suddenly finds himself on
the ground, shrugging in pain as the
white figure lit the same light as
James’ eyes, a sapphire light that
Chapter 3: First Act

showed lightning, “Very well if it

then, I will help you and teach you the
technique that’ll help you leave this
labyrinth that is your own
consciousness but be warned, if you
fail this disentangling series move,
we’ll both die. Do you really………”
Before the white figure could finish
146 what it could say, James stood up and
stretched himself, “I’ll take this risk
only for them…I’d do It.” said James
with a determined tone. The white
figure smiled, “OK then get ready.”
In reality as well, 8 years had gone by
as well. The team Xentrix after

Chapter 3: First Act

training, developed what seemed to
be the most amazing and extravagant
bodies with muscles and handsome
faces that could catch a girl out at first
sight. However with this amazing
bodies, they all looked astonishingly
at something they didn’t expect on
the ground. Even the dragon, Zephyr
was also surprised. The body what
was confirmed to be a corpse of 147
 James Combat was observed with
startling changed within its physical
appearance. Despite being seemingly
confined to a state of a deep slumber
or hibernation, James’ physique had
underwent a remarkable
transformation, developing
Chapter 3: First Act

pronounced musculature and chiseled

abs that defied conventional
explanation that even Matt didn’t
understand. Blaze tried to light up a
reason, “Maybe he was working out
when we were slumbering?” he
reasoned but Scott and Matt
immediately bombard Blaze’s
148 explanation within seconds with over
100 answers, “If he moved, I would’ve
sensed him at night and caught him.”
said Scott with one of his reasons
while Matt said, “I would’ve woke up
if a different energy irritated my
sensory.” The unexpected
metamorphosis elicited a sense of

Chapter 3: First Act

astonishment and disbelief in the
boys, prompting more flurry
questions by them regarding of
James’ condition, “Maybe he’s
faking.” said Kyle. “No Kyle this guy is
indeed half dead…but he wouldn’t be
able to move. Something’s not right.
We've got to find answers…….”
Before Matt could finish, a quake 149
 suddenly struck the Martian planet.
The 4 boys and dragon looked to
west, where the form of the incident
was caused seemed to be where it
was caused and proceeded to
confront what was happening
Chapter 3: First Act

3 hours ago, on Arcadia the galaxy of

the knights with a quite difference
from what chivalry meant. All the
villages around the area were nothing
but ashes along with the city as the
castle generated an evil energy that
loomed ominously within the
towering black spires, stained and
broken glass windows depicting
150
scenes of darkness and with the iron
gate of Arcadia which was now
covered in thorns. The building was
just simple same along with the royal
chamber, a labyrinth of dimly lit
corridors and echoing chambers,
exuding an air of malevolence. The
only thing that seemed at least

Chapter 3: First Act

better, was a giant TV screen like, in
which Yoshino Hinata was typing
effortlessly, her eyes and face
seemingly pale showing a sign of full
out insomniac sleepiness. However as
a green light lit up, her eyes lit up in
determination as she called for
Graamore. Graamore proceeded to
follow Yoshino as he knew that it 151
 would be the best news and yes it
was. In his eyes looking to the screen
he saw that his Yoshino had finally
discovered the whereabouts of the
Upper Galaxies’ princes on planet
Mars, in a distant galaxy known as
Milky Way. In response, after the girl
Chapter 3: First Act

had wasted no time relaying this

crucial information, Graamore smiled
evilly, “Thank you Yoshino you’re
allowed to sleep now.” he said as
Yoshino suddenly collapsed on the
ground, dozing off. After seeing this
act, Graamore manipulated his
heathen energy with great force and
152 created an army of monsters that he
dispatched immediately. These
grotesque beasts and monstrous
creatures had razor-sharp spears.
They were twisted abomination, with
gnarled, misshapen forms. They
glowed with purple eyes, just like
Graamore’s heathen energy as these

Chapter 3: First Act

eyes emitted a malevolent aura with
snarls that echoed even with space
itself.

153
Chapter 3: First Act

It took these otherworldly monsters

154
which were sent by Graamore less
than four minutes to descend and
release this energy within them as
they landed on the Martian, causing
the quake that attracted Xentrix and
the dragon. As they took the bait,
more descended upon the location of
the princes, increased their numbers
and ferocity as they tried to scare the

Chapter 3: First Act

princes by how they look and the
outnumbering.
Despite the dire odds to scare them
and the overwhelming energy created
by the monsters, they showed their
emplacement when Blaze conjured a
flickering flame in his palm and let out
a sigh, “Guess for today we've got
something practical to do today.” he 155
 said with a prideful tone. Kyle
unsheathed his blade likewise and
declared with fierce resolve, “You
seem to be all talk Blaze, how about
we see who kills more first?” he said
before charging into the fray with
uncanny speed for his first
Chapter 3: First Act

impression, “Hey no fair!” shouted

Blaze as he rushed in too. Meanwhile
Scott, in a moment as he looked to
the other army of monsters that
rushed at him resigned exasperation,
remarked, “What a handful of work.”
To which Matt on the other hand
responds with a knowing nod,
156
concurred, “Indeed you say, Scott.” as
they proceeded with the other 2.
At first, everything was going
according to their preferences, an
onward onslaught using their energy
series simply to take down the

Chapter 3: First Act

monsters however as they went
deeper to their enemies especially the
first impresses, Kyle and Blaze, they
noticed 2 different beings from the all
of the monsters. They were simply
sited in a waiting stance to the center
of the army. As Blaze set eyes on
them, he knew he had one thing he
wanted, to kill one of them. He
rushed to where these 2 beings where 157
 and as the other warrior monsters
tried to intervene, Blaze span around
the area and surrounded his enemies
and him in a ring of fire {Combustion
Art: Flame Ring}. One of them, whose
face was naturally pale still with an
unexplainable shapeless body but
Chapter 3: First Act

with a brown color for his body stood

up, releasing a menacing energy that
shocked Blaze from his position.

158
 Chapter 3: First Act

As Blaze noticed a right time from his 159

instincts, he hopped in order to avoid

 danger along with the other Xentrix
and dragon and on that moment, a
quake was formed, destroying and
annihilating the whole army of
monsters and leaving a great pool of
blood and some blood stains. The
being that released the attack sighed,
Chapter 3: First Act

“I missed,” he bowed with respect,

“Greetings princes of the Upper
Galaxies. Formed by Graamore
himself, my name is Xanthe and I was
sent to kill you all, especially,” he
rushed at James’ body but as he was
about to touch him, he meets up with
a blade that he luckily dodges by
160 disappearing. He then reappears back
to the other being where the other
being with the same feature but with
a blue scaly skin stood up.

Chapter 3: First Act

161
 “I'm Kael and I too am with Xanthe
here…you guys may have 2 choices
here, die in our hands or savor your
lives for some time and die in Lord
Graamore’s?” he pointed his hand
and shot out scales at them but with
ease, Matt levitated the scales from
Chapter 3: First Act

striking any of them and let them

down however he shrugged as he
finished. The other Xentrix team
proceeds on shrugging as well as they
felt a heavy sensation. Their bodies
were feeling weakened and they
immediately realized what had
happened. Due to the number of
162 monsters they had been eliminating,
their energies were worn out from
using their series. The two strong
beings used this to their advantage
and attacked the 4 boys along with
the dragon. However despite the
weakening, the team never backed
down. They fought with their might as

Chapter 3: First Act

they barely held off and dodged the
onslaught of energy attacks of scales
and quakes. The combination
however was too supreme for the 4
and the dragon as they slipped from a
pattern. Despite using his quake
energy, Blaze used his flames to lick
his feet, causing the Martian planet’s
land to burst into flames in a well- 163
 controlled manner that didn’t destroy
any planet. Kyle used his agile knight
body to twirl like a vortex and strike
menacingly at Kael who got struck
more as Scott along with Zephyr and
Matt made a collaboration where
Scott used his shadow manipulation
Chapter 3: First Act

to root the 2 temporarily as Matt

used his telekinesis to smash Kael to
the ground sometimes as Xanthe got
shot by Zephyr’s lightning. They
panted after this, believing that their
job was done. However, as the heroes
were not invincible, their energy
began to wane, even the dragon due
164 constant usage of thunderbolts.
Xanthe however stood, apparently,
barely damaged along with Kael.
“Martian Quake series: Relic
Destruction.” he said and there, a
great quake that destroyed all the
dust formed into rocks that exploded
in contact with the 5, leaving them on

Chapter 3: First Act

the ground. Xanthe and Kael
approach the 5 slowly as they laughed
evilly, pointing their fingers as they
charged their energy, “You’re all
finished [Though I may feel like I'm
forgetting something here.]” said
Xanthe. Kael responded, “Goodbye
prince," as he was about to release
the final blow, it finally clicked in his 165
 mind, "Wait…Xanthe did you
eliminate the other body?” he asked.
Puzzled, Xanthe asked, “What
body…?!” Suddenly, behind them, a
great presence of lightning energy
surged behind these victims. They
looked behind and there, James’ body
Chapter 3: First Act

rose up surrounded by blue bolts

around him. The presence spread
everywhere from every planet to the
whole universe that even Graamore
realized the presence and fell in
shock. Inside James’ head, he was
focusing and concentrating a load
amount of energy as the enigmatic
166 white hooded figure finally told him,
“Now say…Relapse Series: Relive
Sera.” James shouted, “Relapse
Series: Relive Sera.” and there, he
released a great amount of energy
which was released into his body. The
white figure smile, “Now child go
forth,” As the energy continued to

Chapter 3: First Act

form and cluster, it was
finally…released, blasting a calm sonic
wave that didn’t blow anyone but
covered the area James’ body was
seen floating. With a mixture of fear
and also optimism in the atmosphere
that was built, the Xentrix and the 2
Xanthe and Kael. They saw James
standing but with an odd appearance 167
 as of not before. Instead of a royal
suit, he wore a black coat that blew
with the wind behind him with a
hoodie. He looked to a distant, and
imagined a breeze within him before
putting his hands in his pocket.
Chapter 3: First Act

168
 Chapter 3: First Act

Xanthe noticed the bizarre action and

formed a quake that approached
James however with speed that made 169

even the statement ‘speed of light’

 look like child’s play and perceptible
by a young child to him, turned the
tables at once. With such agility, he
sprinted, and James wielded his
sword, charging with no energy,
effortlessly took Xanthe’s head, as he
still looked away from the people,
Chapter 3: First Act

frightening the sole survivor, Kael

alone along with Xentrix. Another
noticeable picture was that James’
clothes glowed blue charging at
Xanthe, surprising everyone who bore
witness. His sapphire blue eye peeked
out upon impact of slaying Xanthe in
a mere attack.
170
 Chapter 3: First Act

In the aftermath of activities of a

stunning and faster display, James
faced at them and to take a notice, his 171
 eyes were shut which made a rise in a
palpable sense of fear that gripped all
who bore witness to his intimidating
presence. Within milliseconds, rather,
even less, an unreadable speed, Kael’s
head despite James being a distant
away was off. Blaze was about to
Chapter 3: First Act

celebrate with Kyle but Scott stopped

them as they were about to jump,
“Stop guys, he’s not done yet.” he
said as he stared at James, who
dragged his sword as he approached
them, the white figure as it was to
conclude its statement, “Now child,”
it cackled with a malevolent
172 intervention, “Destroy all who stand
in front of you, for they're all your
enemies." the figure said. James
responded in reality, "Yes...i will." he
banged his sword to the ground, "It
shall be done. It won't take long." he
said, as he was going onward with his
slaughter message.
