Stage~7 Last meeting, goodbye...

 
The rain poured like it never had before, Withe let down his long tied up hair. The rainwater ran down his face as he looked up towards the stormy sky. Holyin stood in front of him, blood running down his face and arms. “No…he’s mine, please…” he cried out as Withe came closer. Without looking up, he drew his swords and slashed Holyin’s legs. Holyin stood there surprised, after a few seconds he collapse in exhaustion.
“Any more and you would have died, so I suggest you stay put and let me handle him…” Withe explained.
 
Reion walked up to greet Withe, “This is our last battle is it not?”
 
 Withe stood in his battle stance and said, “Why…why do you bend on bringing darkness into this world?”
 
 “From the very beginning this world has already fallen into the darkness…” Reion replied as he pulled the trigger to his weapon. A bullet was shot at Withe, but he quickly countered it with his sword. Reion continued to fire as Withe continued to counter them. Finally Reion fired a shot filled with blue energy, causing Withe to move back a bit as he countered it. Withe quickly charged forward after stopping that bullet. Reion decided to do the same. They quickly exchanged blows with each other, as their weapons clashed a great force was released causing the raindrops and water around them to fly in a different direction.
 
“Can’t you see! This is more then just you and me! What do you plan to do once the darkness escapes from the final gate?” Withe shouted as they continued to exchange blows. “I‘ve had enough of this world! I just want it to end! And the darkness is the perfect way to end it!” Reion shouted back.
 
 “To end? Are you telling me that you want everything to just end…our friendship? Our rivalry? All the feelings we had before? All those times where we fought for one common goal? Wake up Reion! This isn’t like you, from all those times under the stars…you were never like this!” Withe shouted once more. “ Both of them stood there for a while after what Withe said. Soon Reion pointed his gun at Withe, he then shot a bullet of great might at Withe. Trying to defend himself from it, Withe was hit back towards a building and crashed into it. “I had already given up all hope on it!” he shouted as the rain hid his tears.
 
 Withe stood back up and said, “I don’t believe you…” He then jumped forward to attack Reion once more. Reion jumped forward as well to engage aerial combat. They clashed their weapons and once more the raindrops were hit away by the impact. Both were hit back As Reion was forced back he fired another shot of enormous power while shouting, “Death wade of the heart!” The bullet spun in great force as it was shot, creating a vortex sucking the raindrops in. Dark waves of energy could be seen  sprouting from the bullet. Withe saw the shot and realized he couldn’t hold back anymore. With all his might and heart he used a Spirit bash to try to counter the shot, the forces clashed with great might. “Enough is enough Reion!” he shouted as he continued to push back the bullet, but was forced to kick the walls of a building to hold his ground. Soon the bullet lost its force and Withe was able to push it back. However Reion attack him as soon as he did. Withe had to defend himself fast, their weapons clashed. Reion withdrew his Genblades and attacked once more, but it was clashed with Withe’s sword again. “I know how it feels, but that is all in the past…things have changed…stop dwelling in the past already! Our future is ahead, not behind! I know you hate losing, I know you still want things to go back as it use to…I know how it feels to be separated…” Withe shouted once more.
 
 “No! You don’t know how I feel! You don’t know how it feels to have the world against you, to always lose…well I’ve had enough! I want it to end!” Reion shouted back.
 
 “Reion…but like I said before, the future is still there…as long as we continue to believe, I know things can go back to as they were, our friends… especially Triya…don’t tell me you want to end her life as well!…trust me, we won’t be separated, please I promise!” Withe exclaimed.
 
 Reion held his head down, he then charged forward once more and used his skill called “Hell blades” while shouting, “How can you expect me to believe that after everything!” Withe charged forward as well and used a spirit bash. As they began to clash, an explosion occurred.
 
 When the smoke cleared, Reion had stabbed one of Withe’s arm, while Withe bend down to slash him. He soon realized something, he wasn’t hurt… Withe’s sword had reached his stomach but did didn’t touch him. “I’m sorry…it was the only way, to prove.” Withe said as he dropped his swords. Reion was shocked, but he quickly took out his Genblade from Withe’s arm, he then cut off part of his coat to tie a bandage on it. “Lets get you out of this rain…” he said as he held Withe up. Withe stopped him and asked, “So you’ll end it?” “As long as you keep your promise…” he replied
 
 Withe grinned and stood up with Reion’s help. They then walked towards the portal that would bring them to the final gate.
 
 As soon as they arrived, Scyren asked, “So?” Reion replied calmly, “Lets end this!” Scyren smiled and began to end the ceremony, but as soon as he tried too. The center crystal he was using  glowed even brighter. The orbs on the door lost their glow soon enough. “The crystal’s power has grown too great, even if I pull it out…the gate will still open…” Scyren cried out. The door was then knocked open a little, it left a gab that you could see the Karana’s glowing eyes. Valkern tried to close the door, but the Karanas were pushing as well. “Its no use pushing, the door still can’t lock. We need another energy crystal to counter the dark force from the Karanas.” As soon as Scyren finished his sentence, another portal appeared. Out came a beaten up Krion and Larione. “I heard you needed this!” Krion said as he threw a white crystal towards Scyren. Scyren quickly switch the crystal, and began chanting another spell. The orbs began to glow again. However the door couldn’t close by itself. “Quickly! Though the door is lockable, we still have to close it somehow!” Everyone began to push the door back, but the Karanas prove to be stronger. The door slowly opened bit by bit. “This is getting us nowhere!” Withe shouted and he quickly jumped through the narrow gab of the door while slashing the Karanas back. “Withe!” Reion shouted. “I’ll hold them back! It’s the only way!” “But…” Reion replied. The others began to close the door, Reion couldn’t help it but stand there…he couldn’t bare to close the door with Withe inside. As the door closed Withe shouted to Reion, “I’m sorry, but this is the only way…someone had to stop them from here, so it might as well be me!” Unleashing everything he had at the Karanas, Reion looked at him helplessly…he couldn’t stop what he was doing…he knew Withe was right…but he wanted to stop him as well…the door was going to be totally closed soon.
 
 As it closed, Withe turned back his head slightly and said, “ Take care of her for me kay? Don’t worry about me…” He turned back and unleashed a spirit bash, the door was at the tip of closing. Light shone out of it from Withe’s attack. As soon as the door closed, a portal appeared and out came Triya. She saw the door closed and knew exactly what had happen as she saw the light…she whispered to herself, “Withe…”
 
 The door had closed, soon the place began to rumble like it was going to collapse. Everyone began to ran out of the place except Reion. He stood there staring at the door, in the end Valkern had to pull him with him. When they got out of that mountain, they could see weird flashes of light from the top of the mountain where the gate was…the place wasn’t collapsing, instead the gate was teleporting itself and the area around it. Soon a great light was flash, the top part of the mountain had disappeared…leaving a crater at the mountain. Reion stared at it…he then said to himself, “What about our promise?…”
 
 Few days past, most of the third wills began to help rebuild the cities. Life was going back to pre-war times. No one wanted to fight anymore, everything was very carefree. However, Reion couldn’t help but try to look for Withe. He searched the mountains for a few months, before something happened on one rainy day. He walked slowly as the rain poured down very harshly. He kept his head down and continued to walk, suddenly he saw a foot walked past him. He turned back to see someone who looks like Withe with his long hair. “Hey! Withe is that you?” Reion shouted. The figure did not turn back. Reion decided to attack him, “Hell blade!” However he countered his attack and force Reion back. Reion took a good look at him and saw that he was wearing a blindfold.
 
 “You are the one he calls Reion is it not? Unfortunately I’m not the person you are looking for, I’m but just a mere shell of him…”  the figure answered. “What?” Reion cried out in confusion. “In order to survive he had to lose something dear…he wishes to keep his promise, but he may not be the same the next time you see him…” the figure explained. “So, in a way your that something he lost…” Reion said. “Indeed…I’m but just a wandering spirit…” the figure exclaimed. “Where can I find him!” Reion demanded. “I honestly don’t know…but you may find some clues there…” he pass through the mountain behind him like a ghost. Reion then climbed up the mountain, he reached the top soon enough and what stood before him was Glass helm, the forgotten city of rune midguard. Thus ends the rage of the third wills upon the world of ragnarok.
 
Stage~7:End…
 
Ragnarok~The third wills :End as well.
 
Writer’s note: The last part was a bit rushed, at least I think it was…I may revise the whole story a bit when I have the time…until then it was fun writing a story so long. There were altogether 21 pages and 13,379 words! Hope all of you enjoyed the story, by the way the sequel to these is called Ragnarok~ Crisis Revival. I’ll write it as soon as I get the storyline straight. Then there’s still Ragnarok~Blackdawn. Hah* this has to be the longest story I’ve ever wrote. Hope the end left enough suspense, and that you have not wasted your time reading my long story. Oh and one more thing, notice that Withe's hair changed from short to long? Gonna changed it, but I just wanted to mention my mistake hah^^ goodbye!

Stage 6~Self-rage, final ending...

The end is coming, as the chosen few to be the third wills have found the final gate. Most of the seals are broken, rune midguard has fallen into a state of chaos and confusion. Many knights from the army have given up all hope in saving their world, wizards, crusaders, whichever second job you find, most of their army have given up and quit. Everyday and night was dark, the world was on the edge of the end. Once the final gate is fully opened, the master of the third wills will emerge and destroy all. However the third wills themselves doesn’t realize that and continues to fight.

One wizard however has gone to the secret headquarters of all the high-ranking wizards, which were already very old, thus, unable to fight in a war. That wizard, was Krion. After the defeat he faced from Valkern, he was determined to end it once and for all. As he walked up the stairs, he thought about the things he wanted to ask. He wanted to end the war, but there was something very obvious that hasn’t been explained. Thus he went to the wisest of all people. The question in his mind was about, the seals. As each seal was broken, that city would be covered in darkness. What was the seals guarding? And how to close the final gate if it opens?

The third wills on the other hand had already arrived at comodo. Triya thought to herself for quite sometime while they were perparing to open the final gate. Was plunging the world into darkness what she wanted? In the end she spoke to Reion about the matter.

“Do you think what we are doing is right? After everything which has happen…I’m not so sure anymore…” said Triya.
“ It’s too late to back out now Triya, besides…at least we are together this way.” replied Reion.
“What about Withe…” she asked.

Reion didn’t reply, instead he walked away and continued the preparation.

Meanwhile in Izude, Withe had repaired his two sword with the broken pieces. Holyin asked, “Why don’t you just get a new pair?”
Withe replied as he closed his eyes in an angry manner, “Cause it wouldn’t be the same… if I’m using this damaged sword, I’m positive I can weld it with a greater force of spirit then any other sword.”
He then kept his sword back into his sheath and walked out of the building. Holyin then asked, “Where’re you going?”
Withe didn’t turn his head to face Holyin when he answered, “To comodo, the place where they have gathered.”

Hours past as everyone is gathering for the final battle, Withe had just arrived at comodo, dark clouds in the sky as it was going to rain, it was a place of mountains as well. The cold wind blew in his hair as he looked around for his enemy. Soon he spotted him, Reion was standing about 8 meters away from himself. They both stared at each other before they began to talk.

“So you finally arrived, we have been waiting for you…” Reion said.
“End this now Reion! Or I shall…this isn’t what we fought for before!” Withe replied.
“I’m afraid we have come to far to stop now.” The rest of the third wills appear through a portal.
Withe drew out his two swords and prepared for battle. Triya noticed the damaged swords from their last battle and was shocked a bit, but she was still going to fight. Withe was outnumbered, he clenched his swords tightly and prepared for a battle against all odds. Just as they were about to fight, Holyin appeared through a warp portal. So did others with him. One of them was Krion, another Alrikern a monk that Withe defeated a while back. They were the remaining people who haven’t given up hope in the war. Scyren stepped up and said, “ Lets not get it too messy, instead we shall be separated to another world. When a winner emerges they will be teleported to the final gate. Agreed?” Both sides nodded and soon they were all teleported to that world.

The dark clouds gathered and soon it begun to drizzle. Reion looked around him, he was in a deserted city, windows broken, buildings with cracks and were barely standing. He then walked up to see his opponents, they were Holyin and another rogue. Reion the said, “Ironic isn’t it? We all came from the jobs of the thief. Now…Lets end this quickly!”

The rogue quickly used a skill to be able to walk under ground, while the assassin Holyin charged forward towards Reion. Reion charged forward as well while shooting bullets at Holyin. Holyin dodged them and defended himself with his katars for those, which he couldn’t dodge. He soon picks up speed and was within attacking range, Reion realized that and stopped firing and prepared to fight in close combat. Both exchange blows with each other, again and again they clashed their weapons. Neither was going to give in, Reion decided to end the pattern and released a strong blow causing Holyin to retreat a bit. Reion then ran towards a building, Holyin followed suit to try to attack again. Reion used his skill ‘bullet time’ and he ran up the building defying gravity. Holyin jumped up and kicked the wall to follow Reion, but Reion soon jumped back down with a kick on the wall as well. As Holyin was going up, Reion fell back down and while doing so, he did a great slash on Holyin’s back. Causing him to fell back on to the ground as well. Just as Reion was about to deliver the final blow, the rouge attacked from behind him and used back stab. However, Reion saw it coming and knocked the rogue back with his one of his Genblades. The rogue fell back with great force that he crashed into the building behind him. Holyin stood back up and tried to attack Reion as well, but Reion defended the attack and slashed back. However Holyin was able to dodge it and counter attack by using a F-center blow attack. Reion was caught by surprise and hit back to the top of the opposite building crashing onto the rooftop.

Angry, Reion got back up as soon as he could. Holyin jumped up to the building to attack again. However this time, Reion stood at the edge and shot bullets of energy at him. Dodging a few of them, one almost hit him and another was approaching right at him. Using his katars he tried to clench the bullet and stop its path. However the force was too great that Holyin had to roll himself back and let go of the bullet. Seeing the chance, Reion fired an even stronger energy bullet. Holyin sitting down, had to block the bullet from reaching his body with his two katars. Causing his body to be lifted up and crashed into the building behind him. The rogue which was crashed into the building he was standing at, suddenly smash the floor bellow Reion. Causing him to fall into the building. A moment of silence came right after he crashed. Then suddenly, the rouge was hit through that building and crashing to the other. The rain grew heavier as it happen. Holyin finally was able to stand back up after the last attack from Reion. Just as soon as he stood up, Reion jumped from the building’s hole which the rogue crashed from and landed in front of Holyin. The two exchange blows once more…unable to stand anymore, Holyin fell back down to the ground.

Meanwhile, at another side of the world, Withe teamed up with Gurade to battle Valkern. Weirdly, it was raining there as well. Withe exchange blows with Valkern and said, “You know this is wrong…this wasn’t what we fought for, I know you know that!” Valkern shouted back while defending Withe’s attack, “It’s like Reion said, we have come to far to stop now!”

Withe diverted Valkern’s shield blades and tried to slash him with his other sword. However Valkern defended himself with his own sword. Withe shouted to Valkern once more as they both challenge each other’s strength, “If that is all you fight for, you stand no chance against me!” Withe then pushed as hard as he could as their weapons collided. Valkern was able to continue on with that position, thus he pulled back his sword and shield blade. Gurade saw the opportunity and tried to attack Valkern from the back, but was stopped by Withe’s swords. “No, he’s my friend…I’ll be the one to knock some sense into him!” he said as he lifted his swords.

“Just try me!” Valkern shouted. Both of them then clashed their weapons once more. Again and again they exchanged blows with each other, with each blow their weapons began to glow bit by bit. Soon they both shouted, “Berserk Swordplay!” Both of them slashed great waves of power at each other, without aim but with great might. Soon enough both of their weapons clashed into each other, causing a great explosion. When the smoke cleared, both stood there as if nothing had happen. Withe quickly started to attack again as soon as the smoke cleared. Bashing as hard as he could, Valkern bashed back as well. With a loud shout Withe unleashed an Ultimate bash on Valkern, Valkern was hit back but still stood strong. “Come to your senses Valkern! We fought we all our might to stop the war before, but can’t you see? What your doing is bringing the world into chaos, war will break out again in this chaos. People will suffer like we did…you know how it felt…when we were helpless to stop any of this, but this time we have a choice! Please, don’t make the same mistake that they did…” As Withe said that he clenched his swords as tight as he could, the wind began to gather at his swords as he shouted his opponent’s name. “Valkern! I’ll show you, the might of those who stand up for what they believe in! Spirit Bash!” Withe unleashed a bash with a might so great that the wind was sucked in by his vortex and then force out towards Valkern. As Valkern was hit back by the force, he felt a weird feeling…it was something he felt before, it wasn’t cold, nor dark…instead it was a warm feeling. He remembered that Withe had used a similar attack on him before, but at that time, he him self didn’t notice. He was defeated by that attack, but he wasn’t sad about it. Instead he was relieved, it was the same feeling he was feeling now. Somehow, he wanted to be defeated…as he remember those times, he also remembered how much it hurt when they were separated. However, in the end he couldn’t betray Reion. He stood his ground but was unable to continue, thus he fell.

A portal soon appeared before them, “Go! You won…” Valkern said as he was lying on the ground. “No, first I have to talk to Reion.” Withe replied. “Then take the other one at the foot of that mountain.” Valkern recommended. Withe withdrew his swords and kept them back in his sheath. He then walked towards that mountain as the storm continues to rage on. Gurade the decided to carry Valkern on his back and walked through the portal. They came upon the final gate, it was a very big gate like door, white in color and had orbs on it. Scyren had already arrived there and started to prepare the ceremony to open the door. “You defeated him?” he said. “Do I look like I did?” Valkern exclaimed while barely standing up with Gurade’s help.

“I see, where is he then?” asked Scyren.
“Still on his rampage, he is looking for him…you saw what happen in our battle didn’t you? We must stop it…but we can’t betray him…” Valkern said.
“Indeed…lets hope Reion comes back to his senses as well…until then we shall continue to fight for this cause.” Scyren said.

Withe arrived at the foot of the mountain and found the portal to Reion. “It ends tonight Reion…”

Stage 6:end and to be continued………

Stage 5~ Cold truth=heartbroken.

The truth…in another word, reality. It’s something which is usually connected to the darkness. A hard world which you hate, wishing for a better world. However would you be satisfied for a dream world? The very fact when you don’t know the difference between a dream and the real world. Wouldn’t you chose to live in a dream then reality? However, in the end no matter what you do, you can’t run away from it. The very truth that dreams aren’t real.

The storm continued to blow, Withe was hit with snow continuously. However it didn’t mattered to him. He just continued walking on, he left his pecopeco behind as it almost died in the snowstorm. In his mind, all he could think of was the girl he was now looking for. She was an archer when they last met, but now she has joined the third wills. Come to think of it, Reion joined as well. Seeing Scyren with the third wills as well could only mean that the friends he once knew before ‘are’ the third wills. He remembered when they were all in the same party, he used to see her sitting alone somewhere at night staring at the stars and the moon. He used to join her and they would chat for sometime before one of them fell asleep. Reion joined in quite frequently as well. They were happy times and memories which he wishes to treasure forever. However he forgotten it once, didn’t knew how he did but he did. He remembered them not too long ago. And now he realized that though they were friends and they were very close, the cold hard truth was that they were enemies now. If only there were some way he could change it…suddenly, a sasquatch attacked him from behind the trees. Withe drew his swords and with one dual bash, ended the battle. However, soon he realized that he was surrounded by them. He fought his way through, making a path from where he was. He soon realized that there were more than usual number of sasquatch to fight, and that could mean only one thing. A Garm was nearby. A Garm is one of the boss monsters of the world of ragnarok, it looked like a wolf which was mutated with ice, but what was it doing here? For the past few years there weren’t any sighting of them, but now…He continued to defeat the sasquatch one by one till their leader appeared. Normally any knight would just run from a Garm as it was too much for one person to handle, but it seems that he had no choice. The Garm was blocking the way to Lutie, he had to get there somehow…besides, he wanted to see if he had any chance to win. He tried to attack the Garm, but the Garm was too quick. It then used a freeze attack, a breath of cold ice was shot at Withe. He quickly deflected the blast with a bash attack, the force stopped the ice. Withe then used his two hand quicken to match the Garm’s speed. However was unsuccessful and was hit by the Garm, the blow was so massive that Withe was flung into the air and crashed into nearby trees. He got up and tried to escape the Garm. He ran towards the gates of Lutie as fast as he could, but the Garm quickly caught up. Just as Withe was at the entrance of Lutie, and the Garm was going to bite him. An arrow of great power was shot at it. The Garm was hit by the arrow and crashed into the snow.

It was a she, but first Withe had to fight the Garm. The Garm got angry, it once more fired a freeze breath but this time with more power and bigger effect. Withe saw it and ran to wards Lutie with all his might. As soon as he reached the walls he jumped over it and hid behind the wall to avoid the blast. The third will slayer stood on the wall and prepared to fire more arrows. However with each arrow, the Garm quickly froze it and thus reduced the power of the arrow. She decided to try another approach and she began to chant, “Darkness, can be associated with anything. Its power alone is just a source of power. Dark lighting, dark wind, dark fire, dark shadow…with this arrow I will strike the enemy with the sorrows of the darkness…” Before she could release her arrow, Withe shouted, “ Wait! There’s a better way to use that power, wait for my signal!” He then jumped over the wall, and ran towards the Garm. The Garm then used his ice breath once more. Withe quickly countered the blow with a dual bash, the two blasts hit dissolving one another. He then shouted, “ Now! Aim for his mouth!” The slayer then shot her arrow while shouting, “ Dark arrow aegis!” The arrow hit the right side of the Garm’s inner mouth, the dark energy caused the Garm to be shock and paralyzed it for a few seconds. With quickly took the chance and bashed the Garm, a hit on his left then to his right and with one hit from the bottom causing the Garm’s head to move up. Then with one final blow of concentrated energy of a bash, Withe’s sword stabbed through its neck and caused the Garm to crashed away into the snow.

The Garm lay there motionless, soon it disappeared into the air. Withe walked towards the slayer, she took a good look at Withe and shouted in astonishment, “It’...It’s you!” ……..Withe replied, “ Is that anyway to greet an old friend Triya?”

Meanwhile one by one of the seals began to have an outburst of power coming out from it. Soon weird looking creatures began to crawl out of the broken seals. Holyin was one of the first to spot them at morroc. The creatures were small, total body covered in black, walked on two feet and hands were equipped with scythes. They began to occupy the city and attack anyone who was in their way. Holyin fought with them with his katars but was soon over whelmed by their increasing numbers. Darkness falls on each city with their seals broken

Back in Lutie, Triya and Withe began to talk about their past right after their meeting. As the snow continues to fall, they chat as they haven’t seen each other for years. “This sword…it’s the one from before right?” Triya asked as she held it up towards the sky. Withe replied, “Yup, you guys got me this sword on my birthday. I always liked long swords…however when you guys got me this it was too long for me to carry around. At that time we were still young, so it wasn’t such a surprised. In the end I placed little wheels at the back of the sheath of the sword!” Triya giggled at the last part. After that she thought for a while and then said, “But now we are enemies…” Withe started to frown at the thought, he then said, “Indeed…” Triya grabbed Withe‘s hand and said, “Join us…you got back your past, those painful memories. Don’t tell me your still going to stay by their side…” Withe took back his hand and said, “However, what you guys are doing is the same. It may be something you believe in, but causing other people to suffer to fulfill it isn’t right. Our past is what makes us who we are, but you have to let it go sometimes…or you’ll suffer.” Triya looked up the sky and said, “ Perhaps so…still…I don’t want to fight you.” Withe grabbed his two swords and said, “ Our past and wounds interlace to keep us together, I no longer blame them for doing what they must, I don’t blame you for fighting for what you believe in, I can’t change your mind and you can’t change my mind. Fight for the will you believe in, never let anyone tell you what you must do and what you mustn’t, for our life is ours alone and no one else’s, fight with a strength we can be proud of, do what we chose to do, be who we chose to be! No?” Triya smiled and stood up as well, “Yes, indeed, lets settle it then.” “Agreed.”

Both of them stood a distance from each other, Withe shouted to her, “One attack! One final blow!” Triya nodded. She then thought to herself while charging her arrow, your right we can’t change our minds, I will fight with everything I have, no mercy. I’m proud to have know you and see what you have become today, but everything ends here…I guess. Withe closed his eyes and thought to himself as well, after everything it still comes down to this…with this two swords we will end it…but still, it would have been better if it didn’t had to come to this. Triya was ready and so was Withe. Triya released her arrow and shouted, “Sorrow is what lies with in every heart, strong or weak, it can do many things to a person, but it’s a type of strength as well. Dark angel arrow of heaven’s wrath!” An arrow of immense power was released flying towards Withe. Withe drew his two swords and said to him, “With the strongest blow I can physically manage then.” He then challenge the arrow’s power with his own, ‘Ultimate bash!’ Withe struggled to overcome the arrow, power was splurging out as the sword and arrow collided. Soon an explosion came from both and a cloud of smoke blocked Withe from Triya’s eyes. When the smoke cleared, she saw Withe holding his sword towards her, however one of the swords was now broken the other was at the brink of it. With tears in his eyes he said, “This is it then, severe all ties, with this sword which you guys gave me…with it broken now. You win…” He then walked away in his sorrow. Triya couldn’t help it but cry as well, her tears fell from her eyes and froze up in the snow. As Withe was walking back to Aldebaren, he turned back and saw Lutie in the darkness, the snow from a brightly colored white, to gray now. The end was coming soon, rune midguard would soon be covered in darkness.

Stage~5 :End

Stage 4~ Memory...

A memory, something you remember, but what happens when yours is all mixed up? To not know whom you are, to fight for a will of someone who is you and not you. Losing friends as you go by, forgetting them as time goes by. Fighting for something you thought you knew, but as you slowly began to remember. A conflict begins… who am I?

Geffen, Morroc and Pontera have fallen. Their seals broken, the city abandoned as darkness begins to shroud the place. The armies of rune midguard have gathered at the remaining cities. They wait to fight against the third wills, day-by-day the sky is covered with gray clouds but it never rains. Withe stared upon the dark sky, lots of thoughts came into his mind of who he was. Memories they were, faces that he couldn’t recognize. His mind was now in a mess but one thing still remained clear to him. He must protect this world he lives in from the darkness.

A horn was soon sounded, one of the third wills have arrived at the area of Payon. An army of knights, wizards and lots of the other jobs stood at the gate to stop the third will. Withe got ready as well, the third will Scyren the summoner slowly walked towards the army. The knights began to charge forward towards their enemy, drawing their swords they got ready to stabbed their target. Scyren took out his staff and waved it with his psychic force. A wave of psychic energy was released against the charging force, many knights were knocked off their pecopecos. The rest were either hit away together with their pecopecos or were able to brace through the force. Withe saw the knights flying away and thought to himself, what in the world… He then rode on his pecopecos and charged forth. Scyren continued to release his psychic waves, but some knights were still able to get close to him. Scyren quickly swung his staff at them with great force, the knights were quickly deposed of by Scyren’s great strength. Withe was now very close to Scyren, Scyren retaliate with another psychic wave. Withe quickly jumped off his pecopeco towards Scyren, the psychic wave hit his pecopeco and he landed in front of Scyren. Welding his two swords he swung them at Scyren. Scyren dodged them and attacked back with his staff, Withe managed to dodge his staff barely and tried a dual bash at Scyren. Scyren defended himself and was hit back by the force. He took a good look at Withe and said with astonishment, “It’s you! Rether…” “What? My names not Rether, its Withe!” Withe replied in doubt.

He thought to himself, this guy called me by that name as well… Scyren felt puzzled, he then did a mind scan on him. “No, you are him…a suppressed memory…” Withe then shouted, “Then tell me who I am!” Scyren turned his head away and said, “I’m afraid I can’t, there are some things that the mind has to find out on it’s own.” Withe got angry and began to attack Scyren, Scyren easily dodge the attacks, and his staff was now right under Withe’s throat. Withe diverts the staff and said, “ If you won’t say then I will fight for it!” Both of them then jumped away from each other. They then charged against each other once more, with each blow they use against the other, Withe felt more and more memories coming back. A time when he fought to beyond his limit. Both exchanged blows to each other and were now equally matched. Scyren closed his eyes and concentrated, his body glowed a bit before it stopped. He opened his eyes shone bright and they were both in different colors of orange and blue. He charged at Withe with great speed, he then punched Withe a few times before he kicked him away. He then summoned two knight of abyss to deal with the remaining army.

With each punch a great force was released on Withe. He lay on the ground motionless he felt that he couldn’t fight anymore, but in his mind he whispered, “A voice…whose was it?” he saw a memory when he was just a swordsman, a girl…he cared for a lot. A time when they would look upon the stars with great joy. There was also another boy, who like this girl a lot as well. Though the fact that they were only fourteen, the feeling for each other were strong. There were others as well, all of them were very close. All had been through a lot together, more and more memories soon returned to Withe. A war soon broke out and they were separated, but soon reunited and formed a group called the adria children. They were against the war and created small outbreaks in cities. They were soon stopped and separated once more. There was nothing they could do…that feeling of helplessness. “ I remember…” he said. He then stood up with closed eyes, when he opened them tears began to fall. However his eyes was clearer now. He charged against Scyren again, Scyren charge as well. Withe used his two hand quicken to increase his attack speed, he exchanged slashes of his swords before he used a bash attack. Scyren defended the attack with his staff. Right after the bash attack, in the next split second Withe used a dual coiling bash. He jumped and swung his body like a wheel towards Scyren, as he fell he bashed Scyren’s staff and it flew away leaving Scyren open for an attack. He then bashed a second time as he landed on the ground. Scyren’s body was flung overhead Withe. As he fell to the ground behind Withe he whispered to him, “Well done…next time I won’t go easy.” Withe then asked, “ Where is she?” Scyren replied. “ She should be finishing her battle in Aldebaren and heading for the never ending snowing town, Lutie. Goodbye then Rether.” Withe quickly corrected his sentence, “ Even though I got my memory back, I’m still named Withe…in debt to the person who saved me.” Scyren smiled and said, “Very well then.” He then teleported away.

Stage 4:End

Stage 3 ~ Broken will

A knight like figure walked towards the city of Geffen. He held a weird looking sword, and carried a weird looking shield equipped with claws on the other hand. As he walked towards the mage city, everyone who he passed all stared at him in weird confusion. All of them had the same question in their heads, why is he here, what does he want? A wizard and a sage guarded the doors of Geffen. As the weird looking knight wanted to enter Geffen, the sage and wizard raised their staffs stopping him. One of them then said, “ You can’t get into Geffen without getting past us first, stat your purpose here!” The weird looking knight raised his sword at the wizard’s neck and said, “ Didn’t you heard of the saying, curiosity killed the cat? If you want your heads, then you better get out of my way…” The wizard pointed his staff at the weird looking knight and used his spell called soul strike while he bend back to dodge the sword. The weird looking knight took back his sword and with one swing at the ground, an incredible force slashed and ripped the ground. That force also destroyed the soul strike. The wizard was left speechless, the sage however tried a frost diver spell. Spikes of ice were summoned from the sage towards the weird looking knight.
The weird looking knight once more swung his sword and struck the ground. The force broke the ice and caused the sage to be hit back by the force. That weird looking knight then continued to walk down the path towards the Geffen tower. A horn was sound and lots of wizards and sages quickly gathered to impose his march. The weird looking knight grinned and said, “ Bring it on! As a paladin, I will not lose! Sieru swordplay!” The paladin began to slay everything in his path with great force. The sages and wizards began to retreat back to cast their magic. The paladin continued slaying anyone in his path, as he slashed one wizard. That wizard would be slashed back so hard that he would fly back and knock down the wizards and sages behind him. Some wizards were able to charge long enough to cast their magic. Storm gusts and meteor storms were released onto the paladin. The paladin quickly slashed the meteors and slashed apart the storm gust with his sword. His sword had been enchanted with wind element, thus enabling the paladin to slash apart the storm gust. The wizards and sages seem helpless to stop the paladin’s impeding march towards Geffen tower. Many died trying, the paladin was now close to the tower. However standing before him was the left vanguard of the wizard guild, Krion rarecroft. He held up his hand and signaled the other wizards and sages to stop. He then shouted to the paladin, “ I, Krion rarecroft challenge you to a one on one battle! Show me what you got!” The paladin replied, “ Very well then, if you insist to die. I, Valkern accept your challenge!” Valkern charge on forward, while Krion began to cast his spell. Valkern tried to slash Krion, but Krion dodged and used his soul strike. Valkern countered it easily and tried to slash Krion again, Krion then blocked him with an ice wall technique. Valkern however destroyed the wall easily, and attacked Krion with a critical bash. Krion was slashed upwards with incredible force, Krion landed on top of a rooftop. Krion thought to himself, Is there really no way to stop this mad man? Valkern jumped on to the rooftop, Krion got up and prepared to defend himself. Valkern released another critical bash, the force ripped up the roof and cause Krion to crash into the building behind him. Krion got up once more after surviving that blow, he knew he couldn’t hold up the attacks much longer. Combining the three elements wind, fire and water, Krion tried to summon the strongest magic he ever could. Valkern saw the magic’s power and decided to match it with his own power. He enchanted his sword with the three elements all at the same time, he was now ready to do one of his strongest move. Both were now ready to unleash their moves, Krion shouted, “Crystal storm!” while Valkern shouted, “ Crystal strike!” A storm of spectacular colors was released, and a strike of power with the same spectacular colors was also unleashed. Both powers hit each other and exploded in a beautiful radiant of colored petals. Both of them grinned, Valkern then said, “ Beautiful…is it not? You did a similar move as mine, except that we unleashed it differently. Power that great can only be matched by the users will. Perhaps you are worthy to join us…” Krion shouted out before Valkern could finish his sentence, “ Enough of this crap! Lets finish the fight!” Valkern replied, “As you wish…” He then jumped towards Krion and grabbed his neck with the claws of his own shield. Krion thought to himself once more as Valkern jumped towards him, to defeat the forbidden job, I must use the forbidden magic! Krion remembered about something when he was young, he used to go to the room of his teacher to mess it up. One day, he found an old book, which wrote about magic of great power. Power so great that it was very hard to summon or some that they didn’t knew how, they were forbidden as the magic was too great for one person to summon. Some of them needed to pay a price as well. In the end, that book was lost and forgotten. His teacher must have found it in some ruins or something. He remembered one spell from the book before his teacher found out. It was written that the spell was a level 5 spell, the strongest level of magic there is. It was the magic of the heart. However Krion didn’t know what it meant when he read it, but know he had a pretty good hunch on what it meant. It was a magic of the inner soul, the power would come from the strong feelings that the user has. As Valkern held Krion with the claws of his shield, he unleashed another of his strongest move. “ Kaiser crush!” Krion was crush down to the floor so hard that just as his body hit the ground, he continued moving backwards due to the momentum and crashed into the Geffen tower. Lots of smoke acuminated at the place where Krion had crashed, a light began to shine through that smoke and dust. Krion chanted the words for the forbidden magic, as he chanted light particles began to gather. Krion thought about all the times where he had fought with Withe, the great feeling he felt as he exchanged blows with him. I won’t lose out Withe… he thought to himself. “Will, spirit, mind…feel the flames of my heart! No longer will I stand being weaker, I will prove my own might! Crisident flame-heart!” White flames began to spurt from Krion’s staff, soon a large beam of white flames was shot at Valkern. Valkern fought back with his crystal strike. However the force was too great for him to hold back, thus he couldn’t hold back for too long and soon was pushed back by the beam and crashed into a building behind him. As Valkern crashed, Krion smiled and then collapse in exhaustion. As he fell he whispered, “ I did it Withe, I made one of the second/third jobs fall.” However right after a few minutes, a great force was released where Valkern crashed. Valkern wasn’t defeated yet, he got up and was now really angry. His eyes narrowed together and his sword began to glow. Krion was shocked to see Valkern still able to stand. He tried to stand up and fight once more, but he was too badly injured and exhausted. Valkern now stood in front of Krion, and with one mighty swing from his sword. Krion flew towards Geffen tower and crashed into it. Valkern then swung his sword once more creating a wave of force flying towards Geffen tower. With that hit, everything on the first floor was crushed with great force. Krion couldn’t fight back and just took the beating. “Damn it! I won’t stand for this! I must fight!”, he cried out. However soon after another force hit him and he crashed through the tower. When Valkern walked towards Krion to finish him off, something caught his eye. It was a secret passageway leading to bellow the tower. I’ve found it!, he thought to himself. When he walked to the end of the passageway, what stood before him was a crystal that was identical to that of at Juno. “The first seal…” he whispered. He held his sword up high and swung it down with all his might, “Critical bash!” A great force was released and it hit the crystal. The crystal stood there holding the force but soon it gave in and broke. A great black gush of air began to spurt out. Valkern rejoiced in his victory and said to the unknown voice that had always been speaking to him. “Mission complete.”

Stage 3:End

Stage 2: To prove...

Withe walked down the streets of pontera, many merchants were promoting their stuff there. One of them called out to Withe in hope that Withe would be interested in his goods. However Withe was in another world of his own, he was pondering on what Krion had told him, “It wasn’t us who destroyed the crystal, we couldn’t even scratch it. A black wizard which had the ability to fly destroyed the crystal with a magic we had never seen before…” Withe thought to himself, could that guy be related to the gunner I met that day. That must mean that the third jobs have been released… Suddenly a dragon made of fire appeared, it attacked the merchants and then exploded at them. It was the black wizard that Krion told him about, that black wizard soon attacked Withe with another dragon made of fire. Withe destroyed the dragon with a dual bash attack. The flames of what remains of the dragon slowly extinguished, revealing the black wizard’s face. “It can’t be…” Withe thought to himself. The black wizard began to speak, “It’s been a long time no? Withe, or should I say Rether hikaru, and you have become a knight who I had thought you would be. Stronger than the rest, invented new moves from weaknesses, the ability to do the impossible!” Withe whispered the black wizard’s name as he stared at him with tearful eyes, “Larione…”

Meanwhile, a storm was brewing at izlude. Dark clouds gathered as if a dark force had arrived. That dark force was Reion, he had came to izlude to terrorize the town but now stood before him someone who wanted to defend this town. He was an assassin whose name was Holyin. The very same assassin who fought at Juno.They both stared at each other waiting for the other’s move, the thundered roared and soon it would began to rain. Reion pointed his Genblades at Holyin and shot at him. Holyin was surprised, as he had never seen such an attack before, an attack, which was both swift and powerful that it was almost impossible to dodge. Holyin quickly jumped to the skies, dodging the bullets and began to launch an aerial attack. Reion saw it coming and defended with the blades of his weapons. They fought in close combat, each trying to slash their target. Their moves and attacks were both equally swift and powerful. However they were equally skilled as well, soon Reion got some ground and began to shoot at Holyin. Holyin was at a range not too far, but quite close as well. So he decided to counter the bullets, he used a sonic blow attack at the bullets hopping one of his strikes would deflect the bullets. Surely enough it worked, he was able to deflect the bullets. Reion grinned and wasn’t worried, he chanted a few magic words and two spheres appeared at the tip of his weapons. He aimed at Holyin and fired a blast of great power. The bullet was filled with energy and flew even faster than ever. Holyin tried to counter it once more with his sonic blow, but he realized that he could see the bullet in the burst of energy from the bullet and thus it would be dumb to sonic blow an area when he could focus his attack on one point. However as time was short, he sonic blow the bullet instead of an area. The power of the sonic blow couldn’t stand up to the blast and thus, Holyin was hit back by the force. He crashed in to a nearby water fountain. However Holyin didn’t give up, he stood back up and was more focus than before. His eyes narrowed closer, he then said, “One more time…” Reion agreed and aimed his weapon once more at Holyin. Two spheres began to charge up once again. The bullet was fired, this time with an even greater force. Holyin just stood firmly, his arms crossed and close to his chest. “If you want to compare power than fine! Speed, strength, might…I will prove it all…” The bullet came closer, Holyin stood at a weird stance and said, “ I can see them Reion…you cannot escape…F-Center Blow!” Holyin released all his energy and might on to the bullet as swift as possible creating a momentum. He was dead on, the force had hit the tip of the bullet causing the bullet to stop and the force was released away on to all sides around the bullet. The bullet lost its momentum and fell to the ground. Reion laughed out loudly. “Again,…once again my bullets have been countered…you arrogant fool! Do you honestly think that is the limit to my power? Mark my words…the cold hard steel of my bullet will pierce your heart!” Reion shouted. He then charged his weapon once more, the dark clouds began to gather around him. As his weapon charged its energy, a lot of force was taken in causing even the ground to crack. Holyin wasn’t afraid, he stood his stance once more and prepared to counter. Reion’s weapon was ready, he pulled the trigger and shouted, “Chaos, darkness, feel the might of my sorrow! Death wade of the darkness!” A great shot was released with immense power. The bullet move with such power and speed that the ground crack, and pieces of the ground broke free flying into the air. Buildings were shook and windows broken, some even break and flew fell apart. Holyin tried to counter it once more, but was immediately forced back without even putting up a fight. Holyin was pushed and blown so hard that he crashed threw three buildings before he stopped. The bullet destroyed most of the town, almost everything was in a ruin stat by now. The bullet had hit its spot directly at Holyin’s heart. Reion walked away in his victory leaving Holyin there and everything as it is. However what he didn’t know was that Holyin was still alive, the bullet had hit Holyin’s chest but under the clothes and bandages was a plate amour that have cracked badly and the bullet already touching his chest. Withe had advised Holyin after his own encounter to wear it, and now it had saved his life. Holyin lay there injured badly, he closed his eyes and faced the sky as rain drops had began to fall and hit his face. “ Thank-you…” he whispered.

Meanwhile, Larione continued to attack Withe with his blazendra strike attack. “ Why, Larione, why! How in the world did you get back? I thought you died two years ago? I saw your tomb?” Withe shouted at Larione as he defended himself. Larione replied and continued attacking, “ I didn’t really die…at that time I really thought I was going to die when the Lord of death grabbed me. However he didn’t kill me…I can’t remember what he did to me after that…in the end I found myself lying on the grounds of a desert…but it doesn’t matter now! Dark Nova!” Larione summoned a great ball of darkness. He then launched it at Withe. Withe tried to match its power by using a dual bash. However the dark ball proved to be too strong for Withe’s strength and exploded in front of him. Withe crashed into a nearby building and fell back down to the ground. He opened his eyes and realized that he couldn’t see properly. Everything was blur and dark, he couldn’t use his skills or aim properly. He had been affected by the darkness status. However he was still determined to fight, he picked up his sword and prepared to attack again. If only I could get close, he thought to himself. Withe used his two-hand quicken skill and charged forward. Larione responded by blasting him with fire dragons. Withe slashed and dodged the attacks, he then ran as fast as he could towards Larione. When he got close, he used a dual bash against Larione. Larione defended with his scythe like staff, he then tried to slash Withe as well. Withe countered the attack easily and knew he could win if they fought in close combat. Larione realized this as well and flew to the skies. Withe jumped after him, but was stopped by another of Larione’s skills, aerial wall. Withe jumped to a nearby building and continued his chase on the rooftops. Larione then enclosed Withe with his aero walls. “ Time to end this Withe!” Larione shouted as he charged his final move. Withe shouted back while also preparing to counter the move, “There are still lots of things we have to settle first! I won’t lose, I won’t step down till we talk!” Larione was ready and released his move, “Dragonic soul strike!” Five dragon like souls attack Withe. Withe stood firmly and hit the ground with great force causing the ground to break and the rocks to defend him from the dragons. However the dragons destroyed the rocks instead and hit Withe before exploding at him. Withe was still suffering from the darkness status and couldn’t defend back in the end. He kneeled down in exhaustion, while Larione flew away. Withe thought to himself, damn I have to get stronger, it may be a fact that a knight can never win a wizard but I can’t except that! I will do the impossible!…in my memory after training, you was the only person I remembered…I need you to tell me who am I…I need to know! He then collapsed.

At the far end of the desert was morroc. A battle had started there, about the same time the other two battles had begun. A spirit summoner had summoned two knight of abyss to attack morroc, a crusader, sage, rouge and monk decided to protect morroc. The crusader fought one while the sage and the rouge fought the other. Meanwhile the monk went to look for the source, in this case the summoner. The crusader knocked back the knight of abyss with his shield charge attack. Then he combo it with his shield boomerang. However the knight of abyss was still able to stand up and fight. The crusader then tried to finish it off with his holy cross attack. Two beams of light slashed the knight of abyss. It endured the attack and was now close enough to attack the crusader. However the crusader was able to guard the attack as he had activate his auto guard move before the battle. Meanwhile the sage and rouge were having a hard time battling the other knight of abyss. Both of them weren’t able to withstand any of the enemy’s attack, thus they had to dodge and attack at the same time. The sage tried to distract the knight of abyss while the rogue tried to get to the back of it to do a backstab attack. They succeeded a few times before the knight of abyss was defeated. The monk was now chasing after the summoner as they jumped from building to building. The monk finally caught up and tried a triple blow attack on the summoner, but the summoner easily dodge all the attacks. He then strike back with a punch of incredible force. However the monk was able to withstand it, and tried a quadruplet blow, but once more the summoner dodge them with such ease like he knew where the monk was going to punch. The monk got fed up of missing that he tried to do a day of the dragon technique. The summoner predicted it and dodge the attack again by punching the rooftop below him causing him to fall into the building, dodging the attack. The monk jumped into the hole made up the summoner, he was quickly punched out of that building crashing into another. The monk got really angry, he shouted to the summoner, “ How? How do you know what I was going to do? Where I was going to punch?” The summoner replied calmly, “Haven’t you realized it yet? I’m psychic, I can read your mind and enhance my body’s capability with my mind.” With that power began to rise into the sky from the summoner’s body. His eyes glowed brightly, he then jumped towards the monk and then punched him through another three more buildings. The summoner then said, “ This is getting boring…” and teleported through a warp portal.

Soon enough other cities were attack by the second third jobholders. Each city was tested to be defenseless against the attacks. A meeting was then held with both the second second jobholders and the first second jobholders. After a very reluctant choice, they had decided to hold a peace treating thus ending the war of the two sides. They did this so that as they protect ragnarok, they won’t need to worry about fighting each other. However this marked also as the beginning of a new war against the third side. Meanwhile, the third jobholders had their own meeting with the secret voice they all hear as well. “Go to the capitals of ragnarok, there you will find the secret chambers of the seal. Break the seal by destroying all the crystals in the chambers. Then we will have the power and army to battle against the alliance, the people who caused the war which had you suffer so much. Then I will also be free to roam this world. Fight with the grudges you have from over the years of suffering, do not let anyone get the best of you! For you are the third jobholders, now go and obtain your victory over the alliance!”

~Stage 2 end.

Ragnarok~The third wills

The war between the first second jobs and the seconds has been going on for 4 years now. The people have suffered a lot and the new generations are angry…

Operation F-J:

The light in Withe’s eyes shone brightly under the stars, he had short hair and wore the amour of a knight. He stood at the ledge of a mountain and stared at the bright full moon. “ Tomorrows the day when we attack Juno and prove that we are the ones who are stronger!”

Meanwhile, a thief named Reion was walking towards the gates of Juno. The voice has led me to here, but what lies ahead he thought to himself. Soon he heard the voice again, “ You must find the shrine of chaos, to obtain the power you seek you must defeat your weakness and promote to the second class job. The power to end it all, to ease your pain…” “ I won’t fail.” Reion replied back.

He walked around looking for the shrine, but he had no luck in finding it. It was too late at night to see anything. Reion thought to himself again, if the shrine is the shrine of chaos then I must follow the darkest path. Soon enough he arrived at that shrine, there was no one in the shrine so Reion decided to explore. Reion soon came upon a sealed door. The voice spoke to him again, “What you seek is behind this door, are you ready?” Reion slashed the door open with his stiletto, a crystal was at the end of the room. Suddenly, a weird human like creature appeared, Reion prepared himself for battle; the creature began to shoot out balls of fire at Reion. Reion quickly dodged them and ran forward to strike the creature. However the creature shot a quick blast of lighting at Reion. Reion was stunned by the blast for a second before he could move again. However that was all the time the creature needed to release another group of fireballs. Reion was burnt and knocked back by them, but he didn’t give up and tried again and again. However it looked hopeless, he thought to himself, if only I had a long-range attack, if only I had that power. He had low health left, but it was the only way he could win. He charged forward once more with light steps, the creature shot a blast of lighting followed by another group of fireballs. Reion braced through the lighting and broke the stun in the very second, he jumped towards the creature and prepared to unleash his strongest slashes. However the creature fired its fireballs at Reion again. Reion saw it coming and spun his body just missing the fireballs and was now right in front of the creature. “I won’t die here, I won’t lose to you and I will end this war! Double strike attack!” Reion slashed as hard as he could at the creature and continued doing so till the creature had lost all of its health.

Reion had defeated the creature and had now earned the right of the third second job. The voice spoke to him once more as Reion took up the crystal, “ Well done Reion, you have proved yourself to be stronger and different from other thieves. The crystal is your prove as being a second third job. Your equipment lies in the doors behind…”
Reion opened the doors and found a black coat and two weird weapons. They were shaped like pistols but had two blades sticking out from the sides of the round opening. He put them on and the voice finished its sentence, “…from today onwards you are a gunner.”

It was dawn, the sun began to rise. Withe led his army of knights towards Juno. He then went ahead to scout the area. He walked to the center of the city, there didn’t look like there was any one in Juno. Then he saw Reion walking to towards the exit of Juno. “ You wear weird clothes, what is your job?” Withe asked the stranger. “My name is Reion and I’m one of the third second job class.” Withe was shocked, there was no word from anyone about a third second job. He didn’t even think that it existed. “ I am Withe Hikari of the knight guild, and you are in the way of our operation.” Withe told Reion as he drew his swords. Reion took out his weapons, which he had now named Genblades and spoke back, “ If you want me to leave, you will have to make me…” “Very well then…” Withe replied back. Withe charged forward with his two swords. Reion shot at him with his Genblades, the bullets hit Withe causing him to move back. An attack at such speed, who is this guy? Withe thought to himself. Reion shot another two bullets at Withe. Withe tried to counter the bullets but they were too fast for him to defend. Such speed, if only I could increase my speed to match his attack Withe thought to himself. Then an idea hit him. He used his two hand quicken move combine with his auto counter. Reion shot at him once more. Withe combined the moves increasing his counter speed, “ Reverse counter!” he countered the first bullet. However the other bullet still hit him. Reion was impressed. Not many could just invent techniques from scratch. This time Reion charged forward, Withe defended himself with his swords. Reion was about to shoot again. “ You can’t defend from my shots at this range!” Reion shouted to Withe. “You’re forgetting something…” Withe replied. As they were close together, Withe redirected Reion’s weapons and slashed Reion with a bash attack. Reion flew and crashed towards a nearby building. He quickly recovered and was ready to fight once more. “ Indeed, I had forgotten about close combat. Your strong Withe, I admit that but you aren’t going to defeat me anytime soon.

Suddenly a horn was sounded, a large group of crusaders gathered at the city center. Withe responded by shouting out to his knights and soon the two armies were face-to-face and ready for battle. Withe said to Reion, “ There’s a war going to happen soon, so I suggest you get out of here.” Reion replied, “ Very well then, I look forward to our next encounter.” Reion then left Juno. As he walked away, in his mind he thought, weird…he looks just like him. Withe smiled and rode on his own pecopeco. He shouted to his knights, “ Today is the day we prove ourselves, they say they are stronger, they say they are better. You hear that! We won’t take that standing down. We will defeat them and prove to them that we are the ones who are stronger! Now charge with all the might and spirit you got!” The spear knights stood to the front ready to pierce their enemies. The crusaders put up their shields ready to defend Juno. The knights charged forward and tried to pierce the crusaders shields but they were too strong. Knights who mastered the swords then jumped forward to attack the crusaders. The crusaders couldn’t defend the two sides and thus was knocked down and couldn’t get up. The crusaders then used their shields and charged forward knocking back the knights. Withe saw that this was going nowhere and thus he went around the buildings to attack their leader. When he arrived there, there were already a few crusaders guarding the area. Withe charged forward with his two swords and took them on. He first slashed their grand pecopecos first while they were guarding their selves. He the slashed and bash them as they lost balance on the grand pecopecos. However crusaders had lots of health and thus were still able to battle. Withe tried to attack them but their shields were always in the way. Withe then unleashed his two hand quicken enabling him to attack incredibly fast. He slashed them so quickly that the crusaders were unable to defend every single attack and was taking damage. The crusaders then attack with their grand cross move. Two crosses of lights strike Withe doing little damage due to the fact that crusaders have a weak offense. Withe then used a move he created a while back. He combined his two hand quicken with his bash to be able to bash just as fast as he attack speed is now. The crusaders took heavy damage to their health and were defeated.

Their leader soon appeared, he was bigger a bit then the other crusaders and so was his shield. “ My name is Withe Hikari, and I am the one who is leading this attack.” Withe shouted to the crusader. “ And I am Gurade, leader of the crusaders.” The man replied. Soon they were engage in battle, Withe’s swords against Gurade’s shield. Gurade’s shield was strong and was capable of defending all the strikes Withe tried. Gurade then used his grand cross attack. It knocked Withe back and had made quite an impact on Withe’s health. Withe thought to himself, I have to destroy that shield somehow or else I won’t be able to do any damage on his health. Withe charged once more, he slashed and bashed that shield with all his might. However there was little damage. Gurade shouted at Withe, “It’s useless, it’s impossible to break this shield with just your sword.” Withe shouted back, “ Then in order to win, I must do the impossible!” As Withe was preparing for the final blow he remembered what one of his friends told him. Everything has a different hardness once hit, it will withstand all it can and then restore its toughness. If you can hit it with a mighty blow at the time before it recovers, you can break anything! Withe used his two hand quicken again, he then bashed with all his might. In that split second another bash was released, but it had double the force as the first. Withe had used two bashes together, each with each hand and sword to form an incredible strike “Dual Bash!” The shield looked fine from Gurade’s point of view. He shouted proudly, “ Hah! See, it’s still intact!” With replied, “ You sure…look again!” The front part of the shield had crack, one more hit and the shield would break. Gurade got angry, he shouted out, “ You think you have won? Look closely, your army has become tired their healths are low. Now, come forth monks! And crush them!” Monks began to appear one by one on the rooftop.

Withe shouted back, “ You have monks but we have priests!” Priests appeared at the windows of nearby buildings, some at balconies too. They started to heal the knights and resurrect them. The monks quickly took action and tried to destroy the nearby buildings with a technique called the way of the dragon, which has a very powerful explosive effect. Withe grinned and shouted, “ Now!” Archers and hunters quickly came out of their hiding places. Some were on the rooftops, others at the windows of buildings as well. All of them took aim and fired a shower of arrows, the arrows slowly took down the monks one by one. None of the monks were able to successfully use their technique. The crusaders and monks were losing, it looks like Juno was about to fall. However the monks and crusaders could heal too, they quickly recovered. The knights charge forward again just as the crusaders were healing, a few were stopped but most recovered and fought off the knights. The battle raged on…

The monks were weak against the hunters, soon they couldn’t heal their wounds fast enough and had to hide among the buildings.

Meanwhile, the wizards and assassins had almost reached the core of Juno. Juno is able to stay afloat in mid-air as a very rare and large crystal powers it. And if Juno was to fall, the crystal must be destroyed. Krion rarecroft, a wizard and rival to Withe, was entrusted with this task. He led the assassins and wizards through a tunnel to the core of Juno. However at the entrance stood the rogues, bards, dancers and sages. Their leader, a rogue spoke first, “ Long time no see Holyin.” An assassin stood out from the rest. He replied back, “ Indeed, far too long…we walked on different paths and now our paths have collided.” “ Lets do this then!” the rouge shouted. The assassins charged forward with their incredible speed. They attack the rouges swiftly, but the rouges backstabbed them. The assassins were injured badly, the wizards tried to use their magic but were stopped by the sages who dispelled their magic. Krion thought to himself, if only they could somehow get rid of those sages. The assassins couldn’t attack the rogues straight forwardly so they used their cloaking. They knew the wizards needed help in getting rid of those sages. However the sages soon discovered their plan before the assassins could attack. The sages used their skill call sight and discovered the assassins. Krion saw it and thought that this was the perfect opportunity to attack. The wizards all quickly used their soul strikes, the sages using sight quickly stopped and used dispel. The assassins quickly attacked the sages losing their cloaking. The sages were out of choices and were defeated, the rogues were too late to counter their attack. However they still had some tricks up their sleeves, the sages had changed the area with their skill caught volcano. Now all damages with fire were boost. The rogues weapon had already been enchanted with fire element and had a boost in power. The assassins took heavy damage and many were defeated in their battle with the rogues. Krion realized this and enclosed the bards and dancers with his skill caught ice wall. The other wizards battled the bards and dancers, but the arrows of the bards were still able to go through. The wizards then countered the arrows with fireballs. Krion however was charging a meteor storm attack not at the bards but at the rogues. He quickly told all the assassins to dodge the attack if it comes close to them. However the assassins and rouges were mixed in battle. It would be almost impossible to not hit the assassins, but Holyin nodded and signal to him to do it. The attack was released, Krion tried to control the attacks and was successful at first but soon it went out of control. Many assassins and rogues were killed in that attack. In the end only Holyin and his friend was left. Krion knew that Holyin should be able to handle that rogue and thus went to continue to battle the bards and dancers. The bards and dancers weren’t able to put up much of a fight by themselves and thus were defeated quickly.
The gate was opened, and right before them was the legendary crystal. The wizards all blasted the crystal with their magic. However the there wasn’t even a crack! Krion got frustrated, “ How come it won’t break after everything!” A voice spoke to all of them, “ Fools, do you expect to destroy this great crystal just like that? Let me show you how,…muhahah!” A black wizard was floating in the air above them, he then casted a magic they had never seen before. “Dark nova!” A giant ball of darkness was summoned and blasted at the crystal. The crystal was filled with that energy and soon was broken. That black wizard then flew out of the tunnel and out of Juno. Juno started to lose its balanced in the air, Withe felt the ground shaking, and he commanded his knights, the hunters and priests to retreat out of Juno. The crusaders realized what had happened and follow suit. The monks too got out of Juno. Krion and the others quickly ran out of Juno as well. Many dead bodies were left at Juno, especially the assassins.

As Juno felled, Withe and his knights didn’t know to celebrate or to cry. Many people died in that battle, and now their dearest would never bury their bodies. It was a terrible price to pay for a victory, many people celebrated while others cried for there loved ones. The war however didn’t seized, the second second-class jobs were angry and didn’t give up. This time the people suffered even more, and soon a few repelled against all. The third second jobholders one by one revealed themselves.
_--Operation Juno END.
