Dropping In

Alessia flew toward the sand pit and then crashed headfirst into the sand. She rolled several feet across the sand until the rolling finally stopped. She landed on her stomach. Her face remained buried in the sand.

The boy with no armor stared at Alessia with horror as he thought. "Did she come here in order to take me again?" He began to back away as he thought. "Wh-Where is SG?! Is he still fighting Thana?!" He began to look around the sand pit as he thought. "That knife... Where did that knife go?!"

Nameless Scarion laughed at Set as he looked at the other people in the sand pit and said confidently. "Do you honestly think any of these brats can defeat me, Set?" He laughed louder as he said. "They're all Unranked other than that right handed freak! But even he can't beat a Slasher!"

The boy with no armor stopped moving. He thought as he listened to Nameless Scarion. "Oh. He's right..." He looked over at the caved in face of the light blue haired boy and thought. "I ranked up. I'm not an Unranked anymore... I'm a First Slayer now."

Set laughed mischievously. His laughter echoed across the stadium. He looked at the Eastern side of the Stadium again and then looked at the Western side of the stadium again. He said to Xasius while he faced the sand pit. "Looks like he didn't hear me, 'Xasius'." He looked back at Xasius and said with mischief. "You heard me say 'whoever', didn't you?"

Xasius chuckled and said. "Indeed I did, Set."

The boy with no armor heard movement from the Western side of the stadium. He looked over at the Western side of the stadium.

At the Western side one man jumped over the railing, that went around the perimeter of the walls, which surrounded the sand pit.

The man who jumped over the railing was from the center of the Western side of the stadium. He wore dark blue armor that had a silver trim around the edge. He had greenish-blue hair and dark green eyes with a sword strapped to his back that leaned to his left side. There was a bored expression on his face. On his left arm were four crossed blades which had been engraved into his armor. Two of the crossed blades were diagonal, one was vertical, and the last one was horizontal. On the left side of the four crossed blades was a mask. By the bottom left of the mask were two crossed blades.

The boy with no armor thought as he watched the one Guardian jump over the railing. "A Fourth Guardian?!"

The Fourth Guardian hit the sand with his feet. He then began to sprint toward the boy with no armor, the boy with dark silver hair, and Nameless Scarion.

Nameless Scarion looked at the Fourth Guardian with an angry expression as he said. "What do you think you're doing, My Fourth?!"

The Fourth Guardian continued to sprint toward the boy with no armor as he grabbed the hilt of his sword with his left hand and said with a bored tone. "Isn't it obvious? I want the Kingdom of Hypatos." He pulled his sword from off of his back and continued to charge toward the boy with no armor and Nameless Scarion.

Both the boy with no armor and the boy with dark silver hair moved out of the way as the Fourth Guardian sprinted toward Nameless Scarion.

Nameless Scarion said angrily. "You dare try to betray me, My Fourth?!" He ran headfirst toward the Fourth Guardian as he yelled out. "You must have been corrupted by those filthy right handed traitors! I'll destroy you and then the rest of your bloodline next! I will purge all traitors from this world!"

The Fourth Guardian swung his sword horizontally toward Nameless Scarion's chest.

Nameless Scarion raised up his left fist to block the attack.

The sword struck Nameless Scarion's left fist. Nameless Scarion then swung his right fist toward the Fourth Guardian's face.

Nameless's Scarion right fist made direct contact with the Fourth Guardian's face. The Fourth Guardian slid backward across the ground. After sliding several feet he finally stopped after he applied more pressure into the ground with his feet. He looked at Nameless Scarion with a bored expression as he said. "Are you even trying?" He looked at the double tipped spear by the boy with silver armor and said. "Maybe you should grab your spear."

Nameless Scarion's angry expression became even more angry as he charged at the Fourth Guardian.

A slight smirk formed on the Fourth Guardian's lips as he watched Nameless Scarion charge toward him.

The boy with no armor noticed Alessia move out of the corner of his eye. He looked over at Alessia.

Alessia rose up from the ground. Sand fell from her armor as she rose up from the ground. Her face which was already covered with cuts and bruises was covered with sand as well. Her long black hair was also now covered with sand.

The boy with no armor stared at her fearfully. He then looked around the area frantically as he searched for the knife he had previously.

Alessia stood up completely. Sand continued to fall from her body. She looked at the boy with no armor with dead eyes.

The boy with no armor flinched as he looked at Alessia's cold light brown eyes.

Alessia began to walk toward the boy. She muttered as she walked toward him. "It's you... You weren't supposed to make it here." She grabbed the hilt of her sword with her left hand. She said as she pulled her sword from off of her back. "Her Highness is going to be upset... That I let you get away!"

The boy with dark silver hair who stood close by the boy with no armor looked at the hilt of his shattered katana. He then looked at Alessia as he watched her walk toward the boy with no armor. He breathed in and then breathed out again as he tossed the hilt of his shattered katana to the ground. He then watched Alessia intently.

Alessia suddenly stopped walking. She pointed the tip of her sword at the ground. She stared at the boy with no armor intensely as she said fiercely. "So I'll dispose of you... Before she arrives!" She disappeared from where she was standing.

The boy with dark silver hair immediately disappeared from where he was standing.

The boy with no armor stood frozen in place as he thought. "Her Highness...? Does she mean Mother?!"

A clash of metal could be heard from behind the boy with no armor. The boy with no armor quickly turned around and faced the source of the sound.

The boy with dark silver hair was standing directly in front of the boy with no armor. He had the blade of a sword caught in between the palm of both of his hands.

In front of the boy with dark silver hair was, Alessia who was, the wielder of the sword that the boy with dark silver hair had caught. Raised over her head was a wooden club.

Standing behind Alessia was a girl with long black hair. She had light blue eyes and wore silver armor with a gold trim around the edge. She also had gold on the center of her chest plate. Lastly, she wielded a wooden club in her left hand which was currently raised over Alessia's head.

Alessia looked at the boy with dark silver hair and then looked over at the girl with the club behind her with a confused look as she said. "Huh? Who are you two? Why are you interfering?"

The boy with dark silver hair breathed in and then breathed out again. He said as he struggled to hold back the blade of the sword. "I would introduce myself. But, I don't have a name yet."

The girl with the club behind Alessia frowned as she looked at Alessia and said. "What is your association with His Greatness? Are you two ex lovers or something?!" She tightened her grip on the handle of her wooden club and said. "If you answer wrong I will kill you!"

The boy with no armor thought. "His Greatness? Who is she talking about?"

Krios said with astonishment as he looked at Alessia, the boy with dark silver hair, and the girl with the club. "All three of them can teleport?" He then looked up at Alekto and said. "Wait! Isn't the girl with the club your daughter, Alekto?!"

Klymene, Chara, Phobos, Kambyses, and Menelaos turned their heads and looked at Alekto. Kapaneus continued to look between his left hand and his right hand.

Alekto muttered quietly to herself. "Why did she use it?! She wasn't supposed to reveal it yet!" She then sighed and said calmly to Krios. "And what if she is, Krios? What are you trying to insinuate?"

Krios replied to Alekto. "Since your daughter has a teleporter you have one too don't you?"

Alekto sat in her in silence. She then began to giggle. She put her right hand over her mask as she continued to giggle and then said. "That's ridiculous!" Her giggling began to stop as she said. "You know teleporters are gifts from the gods, right? The only god I know is Set. And he didn't give me one. You can ask him yourself."

Krios looked up at Set who still standing at the top level of the stadium.

Set stood in front of his seat as he looked down at the boy with no armor, the boy with dark silver hair, the girl with the club, and Alessia. He began to chuckle mischievously as he said. "How fascinating! The only three down there with teleporters and they're all fighting over the Anomaly!"

Xasius said to Set. "Did you plan for it to happen this way, Set?"

Set laughed mischievously as he said. "Did I plan it?" He shook his head and said. "No." He disappeared from where he was standing.

He reappeared in his seat at the top level of the stadium beside Xasius. He placed his left leg on top of his right knee and said mischievously as he looked down at the sand pit. "It wouldn't be any fun for me if I did that."
