Episode 8:Advanced Master-Level
Scene 1:
Shadowx walked to the main hall after he defeated Blazarion, he met String there but none of them talked to the other, Shadow rested as a Terra Elemental Warrior came to heal him.
After Shadow was healed, he saw Ceros and Strokash together while String was sitting alone.
(Ceros)"Shadow, I need to tell you something."
Shadow is standing in front of Ceros and Strokash.
(Shadowx)"What, Ceros? We already know that I and String will face each other."
(Strokash)"That's not what he wanted to say."
(Ceros)"regardless of who wins this competition, Fiaras wants to tell you. You are welcome to join us in the Flame Fortress sector 72."
Shadow's face widens in surprise, he is a non-elemental Warrior. How could a master accept him? That's when he knew that he proved himself right.
(Shadowx)"I will think about it, but I want to ask you, Ceros. What rank does Fiaras have?"
Ceros was shocked by his response, getting a chance to be a warrior in the Flame fortress as a non and still thinking about it.
(Ceros)"Fiaras, Advanced Master-level. By your last fight Shadow, I don't know how but you are an INTERMEDIATE MASTER-LEVEL!"
String was surprised after he heard what Ceros said.
(I.Strings)"That...Non-Elemental warrior is on the same level as me?! Ceros, you clearly lost your mind or you are just underestimating me, HUH?!"
Ceros smiled and didn't look at String's face. Strokash just glanced at String because it was clear that he meant 'Lower your tone while talking to me'.
(Ceros)"Who told you...That I...Am the one...who announced this?"
String took 3 seconds staring at Ceros with a cold and frustrated look until he realized what Ceros meant. His face went pale, completely doubting that this was the truth.
(I.String)"Impossible, a non-Elemental Warrior gets the rank of a middle sector Intermediate Master-Level, and by whom, Fiaras himself?!!"
(Strokash)"Keep talking and you will see yourself knocked down on the floor."
(I.Strings)"A mere Master-Level. what would you do to me? tickle me?! Hahahaha"
Strokash got his nerves burning and the ash started forming around him.
(Ceros)"Enough!! Strokash, calm down. String, if you see Shadow is not worth that position then show that to him. If Shadowx loses in the next fight, My place, The VICE MASTER is for you"
A chance that would have come in String's hand in another 12 years has come now, he strengthened his two fists.
Strokash was shocked in his place. after all, he is the closest one to that position and now String is the closest with just one fight against a Non-Elemental Warrior, he can be a Vice Master.
why would Ceros take a risk like this? It's like he is saying that Shadow will win.
on the other hand, Shadow after hearing this, looked at his left hand and concentrated like he was feeling something in it but he didn't know what is it.
Scene 2:
A random Elemental warrior was standing in an empty place in a place like a forest, or it was a forest. he stands there while looking at the sky closing his eyes.
"Haaaaahhhh.
He sensed with his Elemental power That a bunch of Elemental Warriors were coming at him with only one thing, and that was killing him.
"Hehehehe, let's test my power on them. would be more fun if they are stronger but a fly will always be a fly."
That Elemental Warrior dashed between them with a speed that of a bullet, surpassing all of them.
A total of 37 Elemental warrior were annihilated with one slash of his Elemental power while dashing leaving only blood flowing out of their body.
"Only flies deserve death, only the strongest earn to stay alive, HMM?! those two, are stronger than those flies. maybe I should call them bigger flies, HAHAHAHAHA"
Scene 3:
The fight that everyone is waiting for is the last fight before the final.
IGNITED STRINGS who earned the 3rd strongest Elemental Warrior here in the Flame fortress and Shadowx who proved to everyone here that a Non-Elemental Warrior is still strong if he trains for it.
String released the strings around his arms only without his transformation, he wanted to deliver a message for Shadow and that is 'I don't need any transformations--'
(I.Strings)'--This is ENOUGH!'
Shadowx was closing his eye while focusing on his arms, String read this as if Shadow was underestimating him. String charged with eyes of flame, he wants to kill Shadowx.
Shadow dodged his attack while closing his eye but after this, he opened it and rotated to attack String but String also dodged it. ONLY AT FIRST.
(Shadowx)"You think that would win this fight without your transformation. If you want to end me fast, then transform."
String raised his power and tried to kick Shadow while in the air after he dodged the last attack, the attack landed on Shadow as a rocket. of course, blood could be seen after this attack but it was nearly nothing to Shadow at that level.
(Shadowx)"I tried to warn you, now get what you deserve."
Shadow while String was still on him after that kick he jumped and grabbed String, twisted him and started punching him in midair and one punch was a little stronger.
(I.Strings)"KHAAAHAAA" 'How is his punches this strong?!'
The last punch sent him to crush on the ground, the impact made String bounce off the ground making him spit more blood but at that exact time, Shadow landed a finisher that was for sure to everyone that String was defeated.
Shadow stands on him while everyone's voice begins chanting as Shadow is a victor UNTIL--
Shadow got away from String with a dash that made him strike to the walls, it was for sure his transformation but this time was different.
(I.Strings)"Shadoooowww...X. I hope you run for your own life!"
While knocked down, his strings were pulling themselves and wrapped around him each second his strings became more flammable until they exploded a lot of explosions. String was standing up while he exploded himself putting on a long face.
(I.Strings)"I...trained like hell to achieve this level, a NON-Elemental Warrior like you shall only die with shame on his face. I joined this Fortress even before Fiaras, he became a master before me.
I didn't stop training even for a day, yet he recognised you as an Intermediate Master Level? quit playing, Shadow"
Shadow was calm as a frozen hill, he looked at String with a victor look.
(Shadowx)"I can end you with the next attack, String. Want me to prove it?"
(I.Strings)"Hahahahaha, Enough talking, NON-ELEMENTAL WARRIORRR"
String started charging his Elemental power, and with each second explosions could be seen on him. His name does not start with
(I.Strings)"IGNITION FLAME POWER: 95%"
Shadow took a look at his left hand, concentrating on it. That's when String was in front of Shadow dashing to end him.
(Shadowx)"Goodbye, String. You with absolutely no doubt are strong even stronger than you think."
Shadow said this while beside String. In an instant, String's face widened in fear, he tried to rotate as fast as he could but--
(I.String)'Huh?! Where is He--'
He realised that Shadow was behind him, he rotated again and saw Shadow giving him his last punch, but it was too late.
"Hehe, you keep amazing me, Shadow...X"
Shadow landed his punch on String's chest, he was saving this blow for him. A blow that was about to end String's life, the speed he was pushed back with was not a normal one.
(Ceros)"Is That??!!! No WAY!!!"
(Strokash)"A SHOCKWAVE??!! only Elemental Warrior can do that kind of attack. Shadow, who the hell are you?!"
Fiaras saw something that shocked him other than the shockwave, he immediately dashed to stop String from getting pushed. when Fiaras grabbed String with his normal power, FIARAS COULDN'T STOP STRING COMPLETELY, he had to transform his hands to stop that shockwave.
(Fiaras)"The end of the last fight before the final, VICTOR SHADOW...X"
All the spectators were frozen in their places after hearing this.
"Huh?! The fight ended?!"
Everyone was wondering why Fiaras ended the fight.
(Fiaras)"IGNITED STRINGS already lost his consciousness, Shadowx is the VICTOR"
Fiaras glanced at Shadowx and said.
(Fiaras)"To be able to reach the final without any Elemental powers, you are the first one in history to achieve this, Welcome, Shadowx to the FINALS"
Ceros felt a shiver down his spine and screamed to Fiaras.
(Ceros)"Fiarasss!! Watch out!! He is not an Intermediate. Shadowx, He--HE IS ADVANCED MASTER-LEVEL!!"
