*The winner of the final match was Forge getting the edge over Mari in the end.*
Forge- I really did it!
Crowd- What do you think he's going to ask for?
King Of Clubs- BOY YOUR STRENGTH HAVE BEEN PROVEN INDEED!
Queen of Clubs- Now Now what do you have to say to us.
King of Clubs- IS IT TO JOIN THE VALKYRIES AS A BRAVE SOLDIER.
Forge- No not that..
Jack Of Clubs- His face, but no way!?
Forge- My message is for The Jack.
Jack Of Clubs- What is it that you request?
*Forge stares at him angered.*
Jack Of Clubs- (That stare, so he really is alive.)
Forge- I challenge you to a duel!
Queen of Clubs- How dare you!
King Of Clubs- You may be strong but don't act carelessly like that to your rulers.
Forge- (You are no rulers of mines.)
Jack Of Clubs- It's fine I accept the duel Forge Hestian!
Forge- So you do remember me!
Crowd- THATS FORGE HESTIAN!?
Jack Of Clubs- To think you're still alive after all this time and gotten stronger is a shocker indeed.
Forge- Shut your mouth!
Jack Of Clubs- A little tense I see, did you challenge me to get revenge for those parents of yours!?
Forge- I SAID SHUT IT!
Jack of Clubs- (I understand why he got mad as even I cannot forgot those two, the power they had was enormous.)
Jack Of Clubs- 5 Days.
Forge- Huh!?
Jacks Of Clubs- That's how many days you get to prepare for the duel, use it wisely.
Jack Of Clubs- (Prove to me that you are your parents son..)
*With the announcement made, Forge and Mari both get sent to the doctors.*
Azrael- That was him!?
Tyrese- Who is he speaking about?
Jessie- I don't know fully but I believe it's the one who help guide Sir Azrael to his path.
Tyrese- (Someone helped out this weirdo!?)
Azrael- He's no ordinary man, he's the only person I ever lost to..
Tyrese- Really!? Who is he?
Azrael- He refers to himself as 13. That is all I know of his identity.
*2 days later and Mari wakes up.*
Forge- Hey doing alright?
Mari- W-What happened?
*Mari says visibly confused."
Forge- We had the final match.
Mari- So who won between us...?
Forge- I did.
Mari- Oh damn it, was I close to winning?
Forge- (More than close... I wonder what happened at the end.)
*Justus enters the room.*
Justus- Hey your up!
Justus- Sorry for the short notice but we need to get all of us into fighting shape especially you!
*Justus points his finger towards Forge.*
Forge- Put that finger down. And I already know that.
Justus- I don't think you really understand how big this is.
Justus- This is our only chance...
Forge- I know and that's why I'm going to win.
Mari- I mean Forge is strong, how big could the strength gap between them even be?
Justus- Sorry to bust your bubble but we are equal to about a 5-6 of Club Card.
Forge- REALLY BUT HOW!?
Justus- Despite our Empath we can only beat up to that. It takes about 7 Valkyries to beat that.
Justus- If I had to make a ranking on the powers for the cards it'll go like this.
*The Top consist of The Royal Cards, followed by Kai going all out then 8-10 Club Cards, which is about the same strength of most of high ranking Valkyries. Then 7-5 Club Cards, this is where we lie having similar strength to them. To make it look better we can use Kai and Mari fight.*
Justus- If Kai is under the Royals in strength by 1 tier and Mari only manage to get a few bruises on him and he tanked Mari strongest move. And Mari is comparable to you. Then how strong are the Royals?
Forge- I never thought of it that way.
Justus- So it's time to develop a strategy.
*Justus goes over plans for the fight and decides they should train also to find their strengths and weaknesses.*
Justus- Okay so Mari you have Faye powers, and the blast. Forge you have your 2 beast and the control move thing. And I have Time Skip and Future sight.
Forge- So how are we gonna train.
Justus- The only way we are gonna improve is by fighting stronger enemies and learning from there.
Justus- So until the fight starts, we are going to fight every enemy we can.
Mari- But who's gonna fight us here?
Justus- Not here, we're heading out of the capital into the wild.
Forge- ALL RIGHT THEN.
Mari- What are we waiting for!
*They are gearing up and then look at the clothes given to them by Kai.*
Mari- Whoa so clean but there is something else.
Justus- Your right!?
Justus- I can't believe this do you also see it!
Forge- Do the clothes have EMPATH!?
Justus- Incredible it's like Spirit Weapons but with clothes.
Mari- Would this count as Spirit Armor?
Forge- That sounds corny though.
Justus- Yeah I'm not calling it that, it doesn't sound cool.
*They all put on the clothes giving them a far better and cleaner appearance.*
*Forge outfit changes into long sleeve white coat being button up with a high collar with a black combat shirt and pants on, with some plating and a necklace that looks like a feather plated in silver.*
Justus- Woah looking good!
*Justus is also rocking a coat his being all black, but his outfit seems to be like a formal suit.*
Mari- What about me guys!
*Mari has black combat pants with knee pads and belt strap being loose wearing a black trench style jacket. Fingerless gloves and sturdy boots with a small bag.*
Forge- Makes you look like a wanderer.
Forge- Justus what did you put those on?
Justus- Huh what do you mean?
*Forge points out a pair of glasses.*
Justus- Huh didn't notice them.
Mari- Man you really do need them. So what they do for you.
*Justus puts them on as his eyes feels odd.*
Justus- Future sight relies on me seeing it so it's probably to support that.
Forge- OH one more thing.
*They walk over to a building.*
Forge- Give us your finest weapons you have at the moment.
Blacksmith- HA and what money do you 3 have!
*Mari takes out the crest as the man shivers and shows them around.*
Blacksmith- MY APOLOGIES I DIDN'T KNOW YOU THREE WERE IMPORTANT.
Mari- (Sigh Money really is power.)
*He takes them to the back as the three look in awe.*
Mari- Woah they look way better than our old ones.
*As the three look around, they all decided on what they want.*
Mari- My axe broke despite clashing with a spear so I want a harder material.
*The blacksmith took out a Axe that had a smooth bright grey look with a white outline."
Blacksmith- This is made by Oxystone. A material so durable it's often associated with sprit weapons for being able to withstand Empath.
Mari- I'll take it.
Justus- You mind if I take a look at this.
*Justus says to the blacksmith.*
Mari- Hmm isn't that smaller then your last weapon?
Justus- It is but I'm not planning on using just one.
*Justus takes out the 2nd dagger.*
Justus- It's smaller then my last one but 2 makes attack quicker and easier.
Mari- And what about you Forge?
Forge- I think I'll take this one.
*The spear has a long, slender double edge tip having a golden like appearance.*
Mari- I think that's all.
*With all prepared they headed out of the capital and into the wilderness.*
Forge- See you in the fight.
Mari- You can win this.
Justus- Yeah!
Justus- (If not plan B is there....)
