Episode 4:Stroke of Ashes

Pre-scene:

The elemental empire, a planet which the elemental warriors took hold of. (the size of that planet is bigger than even Jupiter).

A civilization led by the strongest three elemental warriors, the elemental Emperors.

The four leading elements are FLAME, FROST, SHOCK, and TERRA.

the sectors are characterised by their size, the high, middle, and the least sectors. The emperors lies in the biggest and strongest sector which is called THE ONCE.

Our protagonist fights right now in sector 72, one of the strongest middle sectors which is led by a sector master named Poisener.

The threat of that empire is an unknown element named the DARK POWERS.

What is Shadowx trying to find? What is the real goal of all the competitions? And lastly, what is the origin of the dark powers?

When you answer those questions know for sure that you are still at the beginning of the story, and don't let the Flame Burn You Up.

Scene 1:

(Strokash)"I...saw so many elemental warriors, some were killed and others kills, all of the warriors that got killed were absolutely with no doubt a non-elemental warriors. How did you manage to defeat two elemental warriors, Shadowx?! Hehehehehehehe, hahahahahahahaha, let's see how this fight goes."

(Shadowx)"You prepared to fight me. So, I will fight you seriously, Ash."

The two contestants are fired up from the inside ready to crush each other and prove their powers.

(Ceros)"here we begin the second fight of the quarter-finals. Strokash vs Shadowx, LET THE FIGHT..."

"FIREEEEEEE UPPPPP"

both of them reached the arena as Ceros announced the fight once again.

The fight starts intensely as both of them dashes to attack each other but also they dodge each other's attack.

They rotate their body and do the same attack again, but the same result happens.

They knew for sure that their powers were equal at this moment.

(Strokash)"I didn't think that we would be the same power level, although I...know you are still not fighting with your real power..."

Shadow in an instant launches an attack from below forcing Ash to fly into the sky.

(Strokash)"Well, I knew this would happen. After all, he is serious right now so..." Ash talks to himself as he grins while his head is looking above suddenly the transformation starts.

Smoke started appearing on his fingers and spread over his whole body.

(Shadowx)"finally, you transformed, Ash"

the smoke around Strokash begins to ignite as it explodes around him creating the ashes.

(Shadowx)"so that's why your name is this, bring your full potential, Ash"

Ash stood in the air with no movement, a situation that made Shadow more cautious.

(Strokash)"Shadow, let's Kill each other!!"

Strokash straightens his arms and shoots ashes towards Shadowx, it filled the whole arena.

"He did it, finally that freak will be out"

"Same feeling, I think he cheated in the last fight"

(Strokash"What Shadow?! Come out!! I know you are still standing..."

Strokash feels some elemental pressure that his soul is about to be destroyed.

(Strokash)'that power again!!'

Shadow begins to come out from all of this ash.

(Shadowx)"I thought it was stronger than this, Ash"

It appears that Shadow's voice is a bit different.

(Strokash)"Well, be ready for the next!"

Strokash dashed towards Shadow charging his elemental power in his fist, and punched Shadowx that made him strike to the walls of the arena.

Strokash wants Shadow to stand up again, he knows he will.

(Shadowx)"That was a really strong attack"

*spits some blood*

The attack affects Shadow's body that made him bleed.

Shadow gives Strokash with his hunter eye a stare that only Strokash saw.

(Shadowx)'if he is that strong, I think I will take my time with him'

Both were looking at each other, preparing for the second round.

Scene 2:

(Strokash)'Shadow...X. A warrior with only one eye, or that's what he wants everyone to believe. he always covers his left-side of his body with a coat or let's just say a black thing on his shoulder, the left side of his face is also covered. Shadowx, that feeling, I hope I discover your true potential that's why I...will...go all...OUT'

Shadowx saw Strokash as he was talking to himself while covering his face with his hand.

(Shadowx)"Strokash, I won't wait longer!"

Strokash laughs and flies down to attack while Shadow leapt in the air to clash with him.

the sound of raw punches and ashes filled the arena as they attacked each other nonstop.

"This...is not a normal fight. that named Shadowx is fighting Strokash equally!! what is happening?!"

(Ceros)"The special cases! Warriors that do not have any of the four main elemental powers. a special power only meant for each one of them and in Strokash's state he is the ash special case!

Shadowx and Strokash, both started firing punches at each other, draining every drop of stamina they both had.

"This fight...is something else."

"We are watching a fight that's vice-master level!"

The clash was so powerful that the spectators were fired up!

Suddenly, Strokash leapt while charging his fists.

Shadow hits the ground below him to reach Strokash as he didn't want to buy him more time.

(Strokash)"Ash special case flame power, 50%"

Shadow in the air tried to block what coming with all of his power but the damage was something else.

(Strokash)"Ash Technique, second form: Ash Sting!"

In a moment, Strokash attacks Shadow with only 2 fingers like a bullet and injects Shadow with his ASH.

(Shadowx)"khaahaa!"

Shadow was dizzy and couldn't breathe and on top of that he spit so much blood.

Strokash kicked Shadow with his charged right leg, Shadow hit the ground like an explosion and didn't move for a whole 15 seconds.

another 10 seconds have passed, why is Ceros not announcing the victor?

(Strokash)"As I thought, Shadowwwwww! I know you are still...Alive!"

Shadowx stands up, he is exhausted and hardly breathing and his body is full of wounds. his face is seen but his eye is blacked out.

(Shadowx)"...ASH...let's...end this once and for all--"

Strokash once Shadow stood up, he dashed towards him grinning with a charged fist.

(Strokash)"Ash technique, fourth form: ASH SHOCKWAVE!"

Shadowx was struck In his chest with a shockwave.

In the shockwave attack, the attacker does not touch or punch the opponent by himself he shoots the attack as a shockwave that damages the opponent and then attacks with the normal punch.

the shockwave pushed Shadow to the arena walls with a pressure that kills anyone normal. After the shockwave finished, Strokash dealt his attack on Shadow.

Shadow was knocked down after this, is he defeated?

Scene 3: (flashback)

(Strokash)' I was born in a wealthy family. I was the only son in this family, my mom and dad kept saying to me:

"You see, honey. we have a lot of Elemental warriors who protect us, live your to the fullest and achieve your dreams and goals."

(Strokash)"Mom, I want to be an Elemental warrior."

"Huuh?! What?! NO, NO WAY!"

(Strokash)'She was shocked by what I said. Although, it's logical that I think that way. Everyone around me except Mom and Dad are all Elemental Warriors. and after a while, my Mom called Dad.'

"Is what I heard true?"

(Strokash)"What is the problem of me becoming a warrior like them?"

"No questions! I only ask and you answer. First of all, if you become one, it's unnecessary. second of all, you..can't become one in the first place, you are thin and weak like a stick. You will never achieve something like that. End of discussion"

(Strokash)'Every time this happens, I tried so many times to convince them but all I say goes in vain. One day when I was training in secret, one of the elemental warriors noticed me as I awakened my element, he was on his nerves as he witnessed a special case with his own eyes although he was strong enough to kill me'

"What is happening?!"

My Dad asked another Elemental warrior.

"Amm nothing it's just your--"

"Tell me now, where is he?"

(Strokash)'The Elemental warrior guided my Dad to where I awakened, but it was too late. before they got to me, I attacked the Elemental warrior who noticed me because he was going to report what he saw. I fled out of the mansion, I told myself "Finally I am free!" at that moment the strongest Elemental warrior in the mansion was on a mission and that's...to kill me'

(Strokash)'He kept attacking me and tearing my flesh until I lost consciousness. i woke up after...I don't know how long I slept but my wounds were healed, I thought to myself that I slept for too long or that someone healed me. i found a letter beside me that says:

"Sorry that I wounded you that much, I had to give them a clue that you are dead but for now...you are free, DANI"

(Strokash)'luck has been on my side at that moment and now I am reborn as the STROKASH'
