Powerful

Narrator's POV

Everyone in the room was dumbfounded by the words that came out of Minister Mello Lasterson's mouth. Blu was particularly surprised by those statements. He and his group were clearly not expecting help from the guy they were trying to overthrow.

"Before everyone reacts, I need all of you to listen to me." The minister pleaded.

Everyone was silent.

"Good now I shall continue. Yes, everything that you have heard from this soldier about me and General Raminoff are all facts. I admit that we formulated a scheme in order to overthrow the power of the Habser Family. I here to tell all of you especially your Highness and his family who helped me since I was a child that I did something that was not allowed to be done in our country, and I am sorry with my mistakes."

Those words caused a huge explosion of emotions within the room. Every Family head has questions.

"A-Are you telling the truth Minister?"

"You have got to be kidding right now Minister!"

"Are all of those words really true?!"

Minister Lasterson only had one reply.

"Yes."

One man, in particular, had a huge surge of emotions flowing but has decided to stop them and asked the question.

"Mello. Let me ask you one more time."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Do you seriously admit that you did something that I hated the most in my entire life!?!?! Do you admit that you have betrayed me and your country?!?! If you value your life, deny it. I can still forgive you. If you do not want to end up with your head off, then bow down and tell me all of those are LIES!!!!!" The King announced with might.

The King and his Minister. A relationship that started since their childhood. King Ebriz II tried to indirectly tell his childhood friend to 'save yourself'. That is how he values his minister and his friend the most. The problem here us that his friend already decided. Mello decided to give up everything that he has accomplished for the sake of the country he adores.

"Yes, my King. I admit to all of my mistakes and I am willing to accept the punishment that I deserve."

Everyone was speechless. No one knows what to do.

"Alright, if that is what you want. I will schedule you and the General's execution as soon as possible." The king announced without emotion, but deep inside him was a friend mourning for his friend's faith.

Blu and his squad have decided to not celebrate with their achievements to pay respects to the Minister that helped them. Minister Mello in particular went to the squad and told them.

"You guys did a great job. I hope that you will lead this country into a better future."

"Of course sir. Thank you for your services."

Everything was going well, but one certain man was not pleased. General Raminoff Vaslish was not pleased with the events at all. So he decided to do this the hard way.

"THOUSAND MAN POWER ACTIVATE!!!"

As soon as everyone heard those words, they knew they were screwed.

"Everyone run! The general is activating his Strength Magic!" Blu shouted.

Before he was a general, he was regarded as the Strongest Man of the Kingdom. His magic is amazing. The only Magic-user in his family. A Once in a Generational Talent himself, Raminoff the Powerful.

Right before everyone can react, with his enhanced strength, speed, and ability, he swiftly grabbed King Ebriz II and held him hostage.

"SO YOU ALL WANT TO EXECUTE ME?!?! THE GREAT RAMINOFF?! THE SYMBOL OF POWER?! THE GREAT GENERAL?! THE STRONGEST MAN OF ALL?!"

Everyone was shocked and afraid. They were all afraid. Raminoff was that terrifying.

"FIRE ARROW!"

A long flame arrow suddenly flew out of Warden Isac's hands which caused the General to stumble and let go of the King. Blu swiftly grabbed their King and said.

"Sir Isac! Evacuate the King and every family Head here!"

"What?! What about the general?"

"We will handle him!!"

Isac was surprised.

"Are you sure? I am the one closest to him in terms of strength and ability!"

"Don't worry about it, sir! The safety of our King is more important. My squad and I will try our best to handle this. We also believe we are the ones that caused this."

"Yes, Uncle. Trust us and make sure your highness is safe!"

"Alright. I will trust you all. Good luck. Let us go now, my King!"

"Good luck young warriors!" The king said.

"Thank you, sir!"

Isac and his men then lead the high ranking officials out.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!! DO YOU KIDS REALLY THINK YOU CAN HANDLE ME?!"

"We have no choice but to do it, General! This is for our country!" Grimm shouted.

"Full of Spirits I see. Very well then, attack me with everything you got!!"

"Very Well! Reid Squad Full Attack! Warrior' Barrage!!!!" Blu launched.

"Hundred Flame Birds!"

"Super Saver Charge!"

"Poison Dagger Slith."

Everyone launched their best attack towards the foe. With their teamwork and abilities, they have already grown a lot. They might ve able to do it. With Yela's flames attacks, Grimm's defenses, Chae's sneaky yet impactful damages, and with Blu's intelligence and leadership they may actually pull it off, but they did not. After a period of one-sided attacks, Raminoff responded.

"Is that everything you can do?"

Every single one of them was shocked. He was unscathed even with the intensity of their attacks.

"Now it is my turn."

All of a sudden, the tides shifted. One by one. The criminal singled out each of his former soldiers. Starting from the problematic defenses of Grimm. He then went next to the annoying blades of Chae. Then attacked the offensive specialist Yela. And finally destroyed the Brains of the Group, Blu.

Raminoff has proven that his magic and his skills are superior to anyone in this realm. He has proven that he can easily handle a group of powerful young warriors.

As he watches his former soldiers fall, he decided to sort things out and plan his next moves. He decided to go after the King right away, but suddenly....

*EXPLOSION SFX*

"BOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!"

The ceiling of the palace halls suddenly collapsed. Right above them is a group of flying birds. Suddenly the birds quickly glided towards the room which caused even more dusts and smokes. One man out of nowhere emerges.

"What the heck?" The general asked.

As the man slowly walks towards the main event, everyone recognizes him, particularly Blu.

"Was I late Blu?"

"N-no. The timing is perfect. Reid."
