Chapter 16 - Wilderness

*As they walk into the vast open forest, thoughts soon start flooding their mind about the incoming future.*

Mari- Damn its already time for the first fight against them.

*Mari takes one breathe then sets off looking for creatures to hunt.*

Mari- If I want to get stronger I should utilize my abilities to the best for right now. So the main objective is to get more powers.

*Wind blows around him, making bushes rustle but Mari stays weary.*

Mari- Some of that rustling doesn't sound like its coming from the bushes.

*He suddenly turns around and shoots a Blast into the bush behind him.*

Mari- Don't hide from me.

*3 beast coming roaring out, all looking similar but different fur color.*

Mari- Let's think back you are Evoxes, Right?

*One comes rushing with red fur.*

Mari- Woah straight to the chase, but you gotta be smarter than that.

*Mari backs up but suddenly he gets dragged down as the black furred one seemingly teleported behind him.*

Mari- Aw crap.

*It shoves him to the ground and the red one bites his leg.*

Mari- That hurt damn it!

*Mari shoots a blast directly into the red one face.*

Mari- Now where did that other one go?

*The black one seemingly rises form the ground now next to the last Evox, a grey one.*

Mari- I remember something special about you creatures if I remember correctly, different color means different powers.

*The grey one growls as Mari stares it down, as the two start fighting.*

Mari- These doctors work wonders, my hand feels brand new.

*Mari says that he about to land a devastating blow on the grey one before his leg feels a burn.*

Mari- Ugh..

*He looks down and sees a mark on his leg where the red one bites earlier.*

Mari- Red means Explosion okay then.

Mari- Won't stop me!

*He quickly regain his grip and punches the grey one but it doesn't bulge.*

Mari- What the.. Stone!?

*The grey one fur turning to a hard stone like material.*

Mari- Okay this is really hard now.

*Mari watches as the black one falls into the ground again.*

Mari- Crap where is that one going!? It must be some form of movement.

*Mari the grey one rushes, with its skin Mari punches are hurting him more then it.*

Mari- Guess Punches won't cut it..

*Mari reaches and pulls out his axe as the grey one backs up slowly.*

Mari- Run it

*The grey one roars as Mari cuts it, the stone slowly falling apart.*

Mari- I need a way to break it.

*As he says that, the red one jumps on and leaps from the grey one.*

Mari- No you won't!

*Mari raises his hand to shoot a blast at it.*

Mari- Crap I forgot about the last one again!?

*The black fur one sneaks up biting his leg.*

Mari- Won't stop my shot though!

*Mari shoots it but the grey one jumps up intercepting the blast to tank it.*

*The red one lands in-front of Mari and bites him on the neck.*

Mari- I got you now though.

*Mari slashes the red one neck, it limps back as the grey one comes running.*

Mari- Come here I know how to deal with that armor of yours!

*Mari yells before blasting the Grey one over and over, breaking its armor completely.*

Mari- Your dead now.

*The grey one watches as Mari stands over him as it howls and quickly the red one also howls.*

Mari- Why is it so bright?

*Marks show up all over the grey one fur.*

Mari- Hah... damn it.

*The grey one completely explodes, making a huge crater as the black seemingly came back out of nowhere.*

*The red one limps to the black one as the smoke clears.*

Mari- Huh this new armor is really useful.

*We see Mari standing with a couple scratches.*

Mari- I got you figured all out.

*Mari runs to them as the black one hides into the ground.*

Mari- I told you, I figured you out.

Mari- You hide in the shadows. I figured it out when that explosion happened, it was so bright, it got rid of your shadow and you reappeared.

Mari- So don't try hiding now..

*Mari holds his arm.*

Mari- Get a taste of your own medicine.

*The red one whines as Mari finishes charging up his blast and launches it at the ground.*

*This time when the smoke cleared it was just the black fur one.*

Mari- Guess the red one was too injured to run.

*Mari says as he came before the black fur one as slashes it with his axe.*

Mari- Phew being jumped is hard work.

Mari- Time to get all these fresh powers.

*Suddenly Mari get sent to the black room.*

Mari- Huh why am I here?

The Fool- To tell you about your limit.

Mari- Limit?

The Fool- Despite your strength, you still have some limitation.

Mari- Okay so what are they.

The Fool- The one I'm talking about right now is the power gained limit.

Mari- Power....gained....limit!?

The Fool- I'm assuming you got what it means.

Mari- I'm going to guess there a limit to how many powers I can copy....

The Fool- Correct, the number increases as you get stronger and we'll go over more when the time comes.

The Fool- Currently the limit is 2 for Fools Cooy and 1 For Fools Contract.

Mari- That's it!?

Fools- Yes but it's not hard to level it up, you'll see soon but for now think wisely.

*We now switch to Justus.*

Justus- For this battle I need to think of plans and which role to play.

Justus- And what these do.

*He holds up his glasses.*

Justus- Huh perfect timing.

*A huge creature appears infront of him resembling a bee.

Justus- One hit of that stinger and I might be gone damn.

*The buzz sound is heard rapidly and it shoots at Justus like a missle.*

Justus- FUTURE SIGHT!

*Justus watches the stinger going foward but the vision doesn't end there as he sees more vision at once. Like being absorbed into him he can see different outcomes.*

Justus- I can see 3 ways on how these couple seconds can end, I can see them all.

*As he takes a step forward he turns around and sees him but as the visions play, all 3 of them have a different outcome.

Justus- So all of these can happen, own shows him going forward, the other one is him going to right and the last is him going to the left.

Justus- I gotta use his body language to counter any future actions.

*The vision ends as he returns back he sees it coming to him.*

Justus- He's not hesitant so I'm going to take a gambit on him going here!

*Justus then quickly ducks down.*

Justus- This was the best choice regardless.

*Justus then takes out his dagger, slashes at the stinger, quickly cutting it off the creature body.*

Justus- it's not like I can choose the future though, more like I can predict the best outcome using every option I got.

*Lastly Forge.*

Forge- Yeah this rules.

*Forge is shown being crowded with creatures all under his control.*

Forge- This new ability is a game changer, IM THE KING OF THIS FOREST!!

*All the creatures shudder as he says that.*

Forge- Huh what did I say?

*Suddenly a huge wave of Enpath rushes to him.*

Forge- (What was that!? Am I bleeding...)

*Forge wipes his nose and sees blood dripping as a huge roar is echoed.*

Forge- Huh what did I get mad this time, doesn't matter I'm ready to fight it!

*The creatures run as a huge creature looking 80 ft or bigger appears the forest echoing of his roar.*

Forge- Hah they are real!?

*In front of Forge stood a creature so rare, they were considered a myth and the only creature who rival the Royal Cards....Dragons.*

*The one standing in-front of Forge being a Lóng.*

Forge- Such elegance.

*Despite its features and its-serpentine body and the way it looked can only be considered as enchanting.*

Forge- Rain?

*The Dragon roared as thunder and rain is poured out.*

Forge- I'm not going down without a fight.

*The dragon stared him down as the fight started.*

*Forge stood his ground as he summoned Etra and Silex.*

*The dragon roared as the ground moved causing an earthquake as Forge launches toward it.*

Forge- CMON HERE!

*The Dragon blows his breath and instantly launching Forge with a tornado like force,*

Forge- Don't focus only on me!

*Etra above it shoots electricity directly at it.*

-"Intresting.*

Forge- Did it speak?

* Etra hits it but the effect was odd, the electricity surrounding the Dragon before he shoots it back at Etra with even more force.*

Forge- Redirection!?

Forge- I'm not done yet!

*Forge turns, Etra wings being burnt as he moves going around the terrain as he yells.*

Forge- ONCE AGAIN IM NOT ALONE!

*The Dragon rushes down raming into Forge as a certain sting hit its neck.*

Forge- Got you.

*The Dragon stumbles slightly before moving his body and causing the whole ground of where the attack came from sink.*

Forge- Silex NO!

*Due to that, the now visible Silex is shown injured, Forge in a fit of rage throws his spear.*

Forge- DIE!

*The spear connects as The Dragon stands there, his scales pushing it out as it charges up the finishing blow .*

Forge- guess this is it. Is it getting hot in here?

*Forge faints, ready to accept his end.*

*As the Dragon finishes charging up, it feels something behind it. As turns around he sees all the creatures from before trying to stop the Dragon.*

- "I do not know what you did boy but you gained the trust of these creatures so for that and for landing a blow upon me, I grant you this."

*A single dragon scale falls infront of Forge as The Dragon controls the rain water and covers itself with it as the poison from Silex disappears and he covers Forge with it healing him.*
