Chapter 13 - Beast

*They walk back, Justus on Forge back knocked out due to the drinking.*

Forge- Sigh...

Kai- They really can't handle their alcohol. Any who that guy back there.

Faye- What about him, did you get bad feeling from him also?

Kai- Yeah I felt it. I felt the sins he committed creeping all over him.

Kai- I hope to meet him again!!

Forge- *hic* it really was their first time drinking.

Mari- Sh-shud up

Kai- There actually a reason why I invited you guys out today...

Mari- What's happening?

Kai- Tomorrow we're heading out back to the training camp.

Mari- So you won't watch the fight?

Faye- Nope

Forge- Atleast he won't see how bad you lose!

Justus- Less loud..please.

*Justus says half awake about to throw.*

Faye- HEY DON'T THROW UP OR ELSE.

Forge- This shit is just gross.

*They all laugh as Kai whispers.*

Kai- and also because you don't know how long relationships can last... there's a chance that this fight could be the last fight you share as allies.

Mari- Hey speak up if you're going to say all of that!

Kai- Haha never mind it's nonsense.

*It's the next day and also the day of the final fight.*

Mari- Man it's gonna be rough with you gone.

*He says as they are all next to the gate.*

Kai- I doubt this will be the last we will meet.

*Faye and Mari walk off as Faye ask Mari for something.*

Faye- So you think you can do it?

Mari- Do what?

Faye- Sigh defeat the Royals.

Mari- Hell yeah.

Faye- I like the confidence and remember I'm on your side.

Mari- Nice to have some help even if they look like that.

*Faye glares at him.*

Faye- Win this battle okay?

Mari- Because it will push our goal closer.

Faye- That and also I really want to see that brute get beaten.

*The two walk back to the others.*

Justus- Welcome back.

Mari- We were gone for like a min.

Forge- Next time we meet we will be way stronger than you.

Kai- Ha then take this advice, on the mountain on the east border of the Spade Kingdom there should be an old man there.

Mari- And why is that important??

Justus- Let him finish and you'll find out.

Kai- Like I was saying, the old man there is a blacksmith he should be able to get you a neat Spirit Weapon like mines.

*Kai takes his sword out as it shines from the sun.*

Faye- Wait what about me!?

Kai- You will go through something to get as strong also. I see high potential especially in you Faye.

Faye- Heh!?

Kai- Lets say our trip back isn't just a regular report back.

Mari- Wait that's cool but what about the cost?

Kai- No need to worry about that.

*Kai throws an amulet.*

Forge- Woah pure diamond!

Kai- And one more.

*He hands them new clothes.*

Kai- I couldn't stand those ragged outfits.

Kai- Keep them as a gifts That the Amulet of Bless given to yours truly. It's means that I acknowledge you.

Justus- So this will-

Kai- Yep pays for the weapons but you might need to work a little more to get your weapon perfect.

Justus- What does that mean!?

Kai- Till next time men!

*The carriage starts as Faye and Kai leave the capital.*

Faye- Mari remember our deal okay!?

Justus- New clothes... I could cry...

Forge- Now that goodbyes are all send and done.

Mari- Yeah it's time for the main event.

Mari- And I got a few more tricks!

Forge- Try me!

*The two walk off as they prepare for the battle.*

Justus- Are they gonna leave me here or do I??

*The time has arrived as the crowds erupts.*

Justus- I got a good view.

*Justus sits as the crowd randomly quiets down, the air freezes as they are seen.*

King of Clubs- HEY HEY WHAT HAPPENED TO THE NOISE!!

*The crowd pauses before cheering even louder.

The King- NOW THATS WHAT I LIKE TO HEAR!!!

*The two men,friends and for this fight enemies stare at each other as the fight starts.*

Mari- (This fight could be the start of everything.)

Forge- (Mari my friend let's make this the biggest fight and show them our strength.)

*The two clutch their weapons as it kicks off while Mari being on the defensive trying to keep his stamina up.*

Mari- Energy is important I learned that against Kai.

*Forge backs up and analyses the situation.*

Forge- I can't underestimate the situation that's a mistake I learned from her.

*Mari takes a step closer as Forge rushes and tries to jab Mari as he goes under and takes a slash.*

Forge- Good thing this ain't the new outfit.

*Forge shirt cut as Forge throws his spear and runs towards Mari.*

Mari- (Watch the spear to the left.)

*Mari moves to the right to be encountered by Forge foot.*

Mari- (HE GOT HERE THAT FAST!!)

*Mari blocks it his wrist cracking.*

Mari- Your physical strength is unmatched.

Mari- I guess I need to match it.

*Mari actives the boost as the two once again stares each other down.*

Forge- Popping abilities already?

*Forge snarls as he pushes off the ground and goes high in the air.*

Mari- What the!?

Mari- (The landing is horrible for him.)

*Mari suddenly hears something as Forge mouths something.*

Forge- Ha come fourth Etra.

*Suddenly Etra gets summon mid air as Forge rides it.*

Forge- Use the new move.

Forge- Relentless Sky.

*Right above Mari thunder form striking him.*

Mari- Crap I need even more power!?

*The dust covers as Justus stands up*

Justus- I felt something for a second.

*As the dust settles Mari is shown looking fine but looking at his now burnt arm you can tell he wasn't fully safe.*

Mari- Ah looks like even with that I couldn't fully move.

Forge- What trick did you pull off?

Mari- A secret I didn't fully tell you.

Forge- Something about it pisses me off?

Mari- Probably bad memories.

Forge- What does that mean-

*Mari decides to take the offense this time as he throws his axe.*

Forge- Shit Etra!

*Etra left wing being hit as it's flying becomes weaker and the axe falls.*

Forge- It's gonna be all good.

*Forge gets off Etra, making its flying slightly easier.*

Forge- Is that better?

*Mari glances at his axe on the ground as he runs for it.*

Forge- NO YOU WONT!

*The two run for the weapon.*

Mari- Gotta get it and quick!

*Mari gets it first and when he looks at Forge.*

Mari- Wait where did he go-

Forge- Right here.

*To his other side Forge punches Mari as he gets sent flying.*

Mari- (Did he use the axe as bait to sneak me!?)

*Mari being launched makes his broken wrist and drop the weapon as Mari struggles to up as Forge picks up the axe.*

Forge- Nice weapon but the range is too short.

*Mari finally stands while blooding dropping from his head stares at Forge.*

Forge- Why are you looking at me and not at Etra?

Mari- (Wait ETRA!!)

*Mari turns to his side and sees the bird flying directly to him.*

*Mari looks around and smirks.*

Mari- Guess Lady Luck is smiling upon me today!

*Mari runs toward Etra and before the collision picks up Forge Spear and rams into Etra eye.*

Forge- HOW!?

Mari- Like I said... Luck.

*Mari walks towards Etra with the spear in hand.*

Forge- Don't touch Etra!

*Forge runs toward Mari with using his Axe.*

Mari- Guess we swapped!

*The two clashes as Forge suddenly impulse seems it's making him even stronger as Mari pushes back the crowd roars as.*

*CLACK*

*The crowd is stunned for a secs and both weapons break on impact.*

Mari- (Shit hand to hand I'm too weak! I need to run.)

*Suddenly behind Mari he hears wings flapping.*

Mari- Ha no way!?

*Etra barley flying as the bird looking to end the fight and Mari starts charging up.*

Mari- (Damn it I'm stuck if I try to dodge Etra Forge will take that opening but if I dodge Forge will strike me.)

Mari- (I guess it's time to use that mode..)

*Mari breathes as the body connects as it recognizes the Empath he trying to recreate.)

The Fool- You will be using the 2nd form of that power meaning you accept the contract in full.

Mari- I do.

The Fool- Very well then as a one of the contracts power overlaps with another power, that power will be gone.

The Fool- Do you still accept?

Mari- I do

The Fool- Then The Star contract has been fully signed with the decision to get rid of The Two of Clubs as it overlaps with Buff Mode.

*Mari opens his eyes right before being struck he says*

Mari- Star Mode.

*Forge freezes as Mari looks at Etra inches away and flicks his fingers.*
