Maxi, Leixia, Xiba and Natsu were traveling in China to learn the arts of their weapons. Xiba has the Kali-Yuga that was past down from Kilik and Leixia has the Dvapara- Yuga and Natsu I think Taki has gave her her weapon but I'm not sure. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Please have fun reading this story and hopefully teach you a little(just a little)history of Soul Calibur V.

Maxi was taking Natsu, Xiba and Leixia to a training academy in Eastern China and Xiba wasn't too happy about it.

" Maxi do we really have to go to the academy? Why can't you just train us?'' He asked him narrowing his eyes.

" Uh because every time I try to train you people I always get complains." Maxi said removing his hair away from his face.

" Yeah but that doesn't mean you have to ruin our training session.'' Natsu said backing Xiba up.

" Can you people shut up for two seconds!" Maxi said getting irritated.

Leixia was quietly looking at the flowers they were passing by.

" Hey Maxi? One more thing. Tell us about your friend you promised telling us about.'' Xiba asked smiling his cheeky smile.

" Uh sure okay. A long time ago about twenty-one years ago I met a young boy with a staff. He had long brown hair and big brown eyes. He asked me if me and my crew could give him a ride to Europe to learn the arts of the staff." Maxi said.

" Wait I have a question. What do you mean by "crew"?" Xiba asked quoting his fingers.

" I was a pirate that's why.'' Maxi answered.

" Anyway we took a good look at him and we agreed to let the little fella on board. He looked like he was about nineteen. One of my crew members started to have a little conflict with him but my brother Kyam thought that maybe he wasn't such a bad kid so we let him on. I asked the young man what was his name. He said his name was Kilik and I thought it was a pretty cool and a unique name and I also thought maybe we could be great friends. On our way there we were attacked by creepy little lizard like things and they were attacking everyone. Their were working for my sworn enemy Astaroth. That big, ugly thing took the Dvapara- Yuga from Kilik and then he started to lose his mind and then he started to attack me. I was very confused because why would he do this to me?The belt he was wearing was over Astaroth's shoulder. I then figured out that that belt puts him in a calm state. I struggled to get to the belt back from him and I finally got it and put it back on Kilik causing him to calm down. I then looked up to see that all of my men were...dead and Astaroth and lizard were getting away but I just let them go. Every single one of them. They were all bloody, clothes were torn off and it was really sad, especially losing my brother Kyam...he was a good person. He was so warm-hearted and he cared how I felt. I then walked over to him as he was coughing up blood and he told me... take good care of Kilik for me. He's just a kid. Protect him...for me. He eyes closed and I quickly figured out that he died.'' Maxi said as he started to cry.

" Aw Maxi please don't cry.'' Xiba said trying to make him feel better.

" Maxi...I'm so sorry.'' Leixia said softly.

" We didn't want to hear that part.'' Natsu said helping out.

" I'm sorry for the tears you guys. It's not what a warrior should do unless it is necessary.'' Maxi said rubbing his eyes.

It was starting to get dark and Maxi knew that the academy was closed for the day.

" Um I think the academy is closed but we will get up early and I will get you guys there. I promise.'' Maxi said.

" Okay let's go back.'' Xiba said in relief as they started to walked back to their temporary home.

Maxi stopped walking and looked up at the sky.

I miss you bro. I lost Kilik for the longest but I swear I will find him and keep him safe like you want. Maxi said. Then he started to catch up with the others.
