As the light of morning sun rose above the hills of the town of Hilltown, a young lad awoke. The lad sat up on his bed and let out a big yawn. He rubbed his dark colored hair, as he got out of his bed not even half awake yet. His name is Kanin Claymore, he is a bit of a rascal and this is his story. He has lived in the orphanage for about five years now. His parents died when he was just a baby. Kanin got dress in his faded black overalls with a red shirt and join the other kids downstairs for some breakfast.

The mess hall was over crowed as usual. The orphanage was built to house the children whose parents were killed in the latest war. But very few of the children were given a home. But the town's people were helpful and kind with the children there. After he finished eating his morning meal of oat meal he went outside to join up with his friends, Shena, Arturo, Nat, Tata, Jassie and Leelee.

"Come on let's play kickball!" Shena suggested.

"Okay let's go!" the rest of them said.

Kanin looked over his friends over as he ran with them. Shena was of the butterfly clan and her little golden-yellow butterfly wings would keep on growing until she could freely fly about. All she could do now is just hover a couple of feet off the ground. Her wings look great with her long light-brown hair, but she is a bit of a tomboy.

Arturo is very much like Kanin, but has blue hair and is stout but he's also stout hearted as well. And is very fast for someone of his size and has a quick minded as well.

Nat is a redheaded dwarf the shortest of them but he's very strong as all dwarfs are. He's always getting into trouble. Nat likes to ride on top of his best friend Tata a giant who could grow up to be over eighteen feet tall. Tata is only five feet seven now and bald. Tata might be big but he is nice as he is tall and he is mute. But he can talk threw Nat since he's a psychic.

Jassie is a purple haired girl from the Snake Clan. Whose upper body is that of a human but lower half is of a snake. Jassie is very clever for her age and always trying to get things to go her way.

And Leelee is from one of the Plant Clans that are half-plant and half- human. She has a small green flower bulb on top of her head that will become a flower as she grows up. But she's very nosily, hyper, very, very naive and gets on everyone's nerves very easily plus she's a bit of an oddball. All of them were between four and six, Leelee being the youngest and Tata the oldest.

As the group race to get a ball before they were all given out. They were stop by Ms. Jem the one who ran the home. She was wearing her red sundress she was in her late thirties a dark haired woman. She had a motherly look to her that draws people to her. She always manger to get the job that she wants to be done, done by others for her.

"Would you kids mind to get something's for me in town?" They all made eye contract at each other in a (you know what I'm thinking) look.

"Okay sure we will," Leelee said quite happily while the others stared at her in seer disbelief in what she had done.

"Good here's the list and the money now you guys go and get them!" Ms. Jem said with a smile as she walked away. Leelee turn and face her friends who still had a shock look on them.

"Come on guys let's go and get the stuff for Ms. Jem!" Leelee shouted in joy.

Everyone continue to stare at her with wide eyes and huge sweat drops began to appear on their foreheads as she continued to smile at them.

"LEELEE!!!" everyone shouted at her.

"What?" she looks at them with her usually dumb look on her face.

"What in the world were you thinking numskull we all wanted to play not to do work you, you stupid plant!" an angry Jassie answered her.

Tears began to appear in her eyes. "I'M SORRY!" Leelee then started to cry out and when someone of the Plant Clan starts to cry anybody in ear rang will be paralyzed by the sound.

"YOU BETTER SAY SORRY TO LEELEE JASSIE!" Kanin shouted to her above Leelee's crying.

"IF YOU DON'T SHE WILL JUST KEEP ON CRYING!" Nat inputted as he held onto his ears sitting on Tata's right shoulder that was also holding onto his ears.

"QUITE BEING SO STUBBORN!" Shena yelled over Leelee crying.

"PLEASE SAY SORRY!" Arturo pleaded.

"FINE LEELEE I'M SORRY!" Jassie shouted, "NOW PLEASE STOPCRYING!"

With that Leelee stop crying as quickly as she started.

"Okay let's go to town now" Leelee said as she skipped down the road and sweat drops appear on their heads again.

"Tell me again why we even hang around her again?" Jassie ask to no one.

"Well let's go and get it over with," Kanin mumble to the group.

When they got to the walled in town Jassie the only one who knew how to read told her friends what was on the list. "Okay we need to get two bags of flour, twenty pounds of beef and vegetables, a new butter churn and an apple pie."

"We got to get all that?" Nat ask. Tata look at Nat and mind link with him to of what he wants to say. "Tata says whose going to get what?"

"Well since you two are the strongest you two get the meat and vegetables, Kanin and Arturo gets the two bags of flour and me, Leelee, and Jassie will get the butter churn and the pie," Jassie told the gang.

"Hey why should we do what you telling us to do?" Arturo ask.

"Well if you don't we girls will just have to give you guys a kiss!" Jassie smiled as Leelee and Shena came towards the boys.

"Yuck run for it!" Kanin yelled as the boys ran for it. The girls giggled as they watch the boys running away from them.

"You know it will be a sad day when they will no longer be scared when we tell them we will kiss them," Jassie said to Leelee and Shena.

"Why won't they be scared?" Leelee ask with her dumb look.

"Yeah why not?" Shena ask not knowing too.

"You two will find out when you're older we should go get the things we need to get," the girls went off to get a butter churn and the pie.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------

In about a half-hour they had everything they had to get and they met back in the Town Square. In the middle was a white crystal on top of a pillar called the Crystal of Time which no one was allowed to touch for it will turn anyone younger or older. No one who doesn't have the magic power or the skill of time magic can make use for it.

"We got the stuff and you got yours so let's go already," Arturo said.

Leelee who was holding on to the pie was leading the way. She turns a corner and fell down and landed on her butt. The pie was in midair when it was caught by someone's hand. The gang turns to the other side to see who caught the pie.

There around the corner was Roam Turless, who was a fourteen-year-old Monster Hunter whose job is to make sure that the monsters around town don't get inside the town.

"You should look where you're going you could have dropped this good- looking pie," he smirks at them.

"Thanks for catching it," Kanin said. Roam helps Leelee to her feet and gave her back the pie.

"Now you gang of rascal go home now before you get eaten by a monster," Roam watch them running to the children's home, "They maybe a bunch of rascal but their good kids."

After they gave everything to Ms. Jem that she wanted them to get then they finally got to go and start to play. But all the balls and other toys were all gone by then. Well all the good ones anyways. So they just went to the monkey bars to hang around.

"Dose anyone has any ideas what to do this is so boring?" Shena ask while hanging up side down. Leelees head pop out from one of the pipes the help makeup the monkey bars.

"I got something we can all do we can plant some plants," Leelee suggested.

"That bored I'm not any other idea?" Jassie ask around. No one came up with anything.

"Its dinnertime everyone inside now," Ms. Jem called out.

"What we wasted the whole day thinking what to do," Nat pouted.

"All well the last one in is a rotten egg," Leelee said happily as she ran towards the house with the other running closely behind. When they were done eating they went to bed.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------

Next day Kanin, Shena, Leelee, and Arturo watch as Nat, Tata, and Jassie fight with the Raiders a group of troublemakers in the hillside. Leon an elf, Joe an ape-man, Wendy a bird girl, Sally a fish-girl, Ocher a human, Jenny a human girl, and Ivy was the same as Jassie but with green hair.

"You and your friends are nothing but troublemakers," Jassie yelled.

"So you guys want to fight is that it!" Ivy yelled at her.

"You guys don't have the guts!" Nat said. Joe was about to punch him when Tata came forward then look down towards him.

"Tata says that if you hit he will pound," Nat smiled.

"You're lucky you have him or, I wou-!" before he could finish the rest of the group came over.

"So the rest of your band is here hay," Ivy lean over towards Jassie face, "You couldn't fight me without help you weak baby!"

That was all that was needed to light the fuse of her temper as Jassie punch Ivy's face who in turn tackled her to the ground. Then the others and the Raiders join in. Tata bang-together Joe and Ocher as Shena pulled on Jennies hair. Leelee kept Wendy at bay by making one of her arms into a vine and use it as a whip. Arturo held down Sally while Nat and Kanin beat up Leon.

"Hey you babies cut it out before, I have to throw the book at you!" a booming voice called out. They all turn to the voice it was Roam. "What are you waiting for get out of here!" every one of the Raiders ran for it.

"Well thanks allot for getting us into trouble again!" Arturo exclaimed.

"Well you guys didn't have to butt in!" Jassie yelled back.

"You were the one who started it first!" Shena inputted.

"You kids should learn to have more control for yourselves!" Roam said as he walks up to the gang. "But I must say the way you beat the Raiders they shouldn't be bugging anyone for awhile."

"Thanks see guy's I did something right for once!" Jassie gloated.

"Wait you guys may did a good thing but you guys shouldn't be picking up fights all the time!" Roam inputted.

"Okay Roam we won't cause trouble till next week," Jassie said. Shaking his head Roam walk away back to town.

"See you later guys Tata and me are going fishing," Nat said as Tata walk to the small pond by the ocean. The group then split up Jassie and Shena went back to the orphanage. While Arturo and Leelee went over to the town junkyard to find stuff that left Kanin by himself. So he went into town.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------

Kanin went and wander around the town looking at anything that could be fun. He ran past by Old Tom's shop the oldest person in town and the town's glassmaker. He was usually rambling about how he could make his art when there was so much noise about. Then he heard the clanging of a hammer from Doug's Blacksmith shop. He was a large man and strong as an ox, next to him working the bellows was his helper Walts. Walts is still a young man still building up the power needed to swing a forge hammer. His shop was right next to Ms. Pear's Cake shop. And Ms. Pear was outside her shop holding a small cake.

"Hello Kanin how are you today?" she asks.

"Well it's the same as always," he said back.

"So you and your gang got into another fight?" she asks while looking smugly at him.

"Well Jassie start it first then we jump in and you know," he said while looking down. He didn't know why but every time he was with Ms. Pear he could feel like he knew someone like he knew before. Always cooking up something good and always having a sweet smile on her face. He saw a faint image of a younger girl her long brown hair was in a ponytail and hanging on her right shoulder.

"Well you really shouldn't fight, but here have this cake only if you keep out of trouble for the rest of today," she said breaking the image he saw as she handed him the small cake.

"Thank you, by-bye," Ms. Pear watch as Kanin ran away after eating the cake as fast as he could.

Sighing to herself, "Kanin that boy is sure a rascal but he has a heart of gold," she walks back inside her store.

As he wonder about in town Kanin came up to the Mystery Hut. One odd building on the very edge of the town it had no door and no windows. No one knew for certain who built it or what-if anything-was stored inside. The Mystery Cottage as it was called was the source and great speculation. He and his friends had tried to get inside but they could never find a way inside.

Kanin ran until he had to rest a bit and stop by the town's pub. It started to get hot as the midday sun started to beat down on the land so he went inside. The Pub was known for its find food and cozy atmosphere. It was open all hours, and there were usually a couple of regular customers hanging around in the lobby, ready to bend the ears of visitors from other parts of the land. It was a good place to meet people and hear the latest town gossip.

After getting a drink of water from Ms. Lin a middle age woman who own pub owner. She had that wily look on her knowing more then she even lets on. He made his way to the back of the pub looking around for any lose coins. As Kanin search around he discovered a child size hole behind some wine barrels. Kanin being a rascal couldn't stop himself from crawling in. Inside he found that he was in the pubs back room.

He wonders around looking over the place. It was the first time that he's been in there. In a corner were Roam and his father, Andrew Turless they were talking to Zodiac Moonstar, the head of the Monster Hunters. Even if he was getting on his years he was still someone who still looks like someone in their thirties then in their fifties. He wore a black and sliver helmet that covers his head in a way that you couldn't even see his eyes. Beside him were Becan, tall and thin he was the fastest of all the hunters and Godric, the biggest of all the hunters and strong as an ogre and as big as one. Kanin crawled under the table they were sitting at. He overheard them talking.

"Andrew you are a fool you think we be able to defeat Nightmaris there's only about fifty-eight hunters not counting us we be all killed when they come even...," Zodiac took a breather, "Even with our transforming powers we all good as dead we should just give him the Crystal of Time!"

"But we can't if we hand it over to him it will give him the power to brake the seal and take over the other half of this world, we can't let that happen if we do after he takes control he will be able to open a gateway to another world where his full power will be freed," Andrew argued.

"He is right about that," Becan said.

"I agree with them too," Godric, mumble.

"Fine you and your son stay but, I'm not staying around because, I heard that Nightmaris himself is going to lead the battle and our power is nothing at all compared to him!" he then left without even saying good-bye.

"Dad do we have a chance to beat Nightmaris?" Roam asks.

"We all need to work together if not we're doom it's a good thing that we will know when they will get here so we have time to prepare to fight, call all the hunters together we need to make a battle plan."

Roam went into the front of the pub and Kanin sneak out from the backdoor.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------

Kanin ran with all his might to warn his friends about Nightmaris up coming attack. When he got to the sign of Hilltown over looking the entire area he saw the orphanage in flames bodies of kids and the few adults that work there were litter all around with weapons sticking out of them or burn to the bone. Bodies lay on top of each other in their final moments before their death. He saw some bodies of the monsters that had attack the orphanage. But their dead were fewer then those from the orphanage.

Kanin look among the dead looking for the remains of his friends. He found all but four of the Raiders lifeless dead bodies. Then he found Ms. Jem hanging from a burn out wall with a spear deeply embedded into her chest. Her eyes were wide open staring into nothingness her mouth still a gasp.

Kanin turn his head away his young mind would not excepting the scene around him. He heard a low moaning coming from a pile of rubble. When he dug the rubble away he found, Sally and Leon underneath the rubble. Their wounds weren't that deep and after finding an aid-kit he patched them up.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"We're find but your friends are trap in the cellar of the tool shed," Sally told him in a low voice, "Those monsters just came out of no where an attack us without warning some of the kids tried to make a run to the shed but were cut off, I think your friends made it."

The tool shed was burnout but the cellar door was still there where the firewood was kept. A small red skin goblin a little bit taller then himself, was trying to pull open the cellar door. Its sword was strap to its back. The goblin stops it pulling on the door and turned towards him and then charge at him. Kanin jump out of the way as it ran past him then he ran for the cellar door with the goblin after him. He got there but the door wouldn't open. The goblin kicked him away from the back and fell to the ground next to a massive body of a dead troll.

A long bamboo pole ran threw its neck. On its belt was a small pocketknife but a good short sword for a child his size. Kanin grab it as the goblin pulled out its own sword out. The goblin jumps attack him but he blocks it in time with the sword. Kanin jump back as the goblin made repeating slashes at him. As he doge out of the way of the sword something was strange about the way he was moving like he done this before many times before. The goblin swung at his head as he ducks it and stuck his sword into the goblins chest. When he drew the sword out the goblin fell dead to the ground. As he looks down, a flash of a long ago memory came to him. Instead of seeing a goblin he just killed he sees a tall brown hair teenager in a blue robe of some kind in his hand was a wooden sword. As fast as it came the image went just as fast. Shaking his head he ran back to the cellar.

Kanin bang against the door but it wouldn't open.

"Hey what happen here?" he turns and saw Nat and Tata with Sally and Lean.

"I tell you but help me out and open this door," Tata walk up and just smash the door in with his foot.

"Hey is anyone down there?" Nat shouted down.

"Nat is that you its Arturo!" shouted back a voice.

"Is anyone else with you?" Kanin ask.

"Only Jassie, Shena, Wendy, Joe, and Leelee the others didn't make it," one by one they all got outside.

"We need to get back to town and tell Mr. Andrew what happen before Nightmaris main troops get there!" Kanin told them as he gazes upon the burn out home where he had lived.

"What do you mean Nightmaris is coming here!" Joe shouted out in disbelief.

"I over heard Mr. Turless when he was talking with Roam and Mr. Moonstar," he turn towards the town, "We need to warn them about this attack before they attack the town."

"Let's go before it's too late," Jassie said in a heart broken voice.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------

It was a slow walk to town each of their hearts were low and the sun started to go down. The last hill to town seems to be longer to climb up then before. And there was something else there smoke rising from where the town was The group of kids whose lives have been destroyed by an evil force watch as their town being attack by monsters of all sizes and kinds were killing their friends, their people burning everything into the ground.

"This can't be happening," it was too much for Jassie as she watched the blood bath, "Please it just can't!"

A dragco that was flying over the town spotted them on the hill and flew for them. Kanin look upward as a monster with a body of a man but the resemblance ended there for it was a dragco a dragon-man race of dragon headed warriors all bloodthirsty.

It landed in front of them it was at lest seven feet tall wearing a vest armor its wings sticking out in its hands was a long spear its tail flicking back and front like a cat ready to kill a mouse. Kanin look deep within its eyes burning with blood lust it raise its spear ready to stab right threw him. Kanin close his eyes ready to face death but nothing happen. He opens his eyes and saw a tip of a sword sticking out of its chest. The sword withdrew and the dragco fell forward behind it was Roam.

"You kids get back go back to the orphanage its safer there!" Roam shouted to them.

"We can't they attack it first we have nowhere to go," Ivy said to him.

"Well you kids must run then and don't look back!" Roam turned and ran back into the battle.

"Let's get out of here!" Leon shouted.

The kids started to ran when Shena who was in front stop and turns around the others look back, Kanin was still standing there holding onto the troll knifes in his hand. He stares back to them then without saying a word turns around towards the battle and runs to it, embracing it.

They ran back up the hill and could only stare as Kanin ran towards his death. "We can't just let him fight alone," Shena said not even turning her head around.

"We'll be killed also!" Sally said back.

"Even if we go we can't win there's no way we can," Nat muttered with fear in his eyes.

The others were paralyzed with horror as Shena took wing and flew to the battle.

"Wait!"

"Don't go!"

"Stop!"

They cried out towards her to stop, but she didn't stop, she couldn't be stop.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------

Kanin backstab an ant-man as he help to fight off the monsters attacking the town. He had gotten into the town by a small hole in the towns walls. All around him townspeople, monsters fought and died. The fray resounded with the shrieks of the wounded and the trampled under the ever-moving mass. The clash of weapons and claws could be heard everywhere. A woman was lock in a one on one battle with an orc twice her sizes, a group of kids no older then him were hopping on the roofs while shooting down arrows, and poison darts at the monsters below them.

As Kanin fought faint memories came to him. Memories of himself but older fighting off fighters out for his blood flash threw his mind. A guy wearing a yellow bandanna with fangs swinging an umbrella at him, a long black hair guy in white robes wearing glasses, the sword guy form before, a green hair girl using a ribbon as a whip, a brown hair girl with an oversize metal spatula, a girl with long purple hair using two maces, a mad looking girl with a hammer, two small really old people, even a strange black and white bear. All attacking him for some reason he doesn't understand. The fighting moves he was using were all came flashing threw his head and knowing how they were done and how he can learn to use them. But he knew that he couldn't use those fighting moves now not until he became stronger then he is now.

On top of the walls the guardsmen that were still alive were trying to keep the monsters from over taking the wall. Ladders were being raised up to the wall so the monsters climb up to take the wall. They gun towers the main defense of the town were all but one were destroyed by the monster force. The guards were firing down from the wall trying to cut down the monster force but their numbers were too few. Wing monsters were flying down from the sky knocking mounted weapons and guards from the wall to the ground below. Arbalests, catapults and cannons were pounding the walls of the town as what few guards were firing with their cannons to take them out. At the main gate a huge battling-ram was being use by some minotaurs to break it down.

Inside of the walls of the town, Doug the blacksmith swung a huge metal hammer cutting a path threw the monsters. Besides him was the body of Ms. Pear her neck was cut in half and a spear still in her hands. Old Tom was besides her firing two handguns at the monsters around them. Walts was throwing bottles full of oil with a lighten rag throwing them into packs of the monsters burning them as they break. A werewolf came down from the roofs of near by buildings knocking, Walts down and the bottle he was about to throw fell and broke on top of the other bottles. A blast of fire came were they were at and everything in the blast range was on fire.

The few other people with firearms were making barricades everywhere trying to keep at bay the horrors around them. The main gate of the town that was holding the main monster force at bay was smash threw as a gang of minotaurs that were using a battling-ram came crashing threw it. The monster force made short work with the people who were still fighting at the ruin gateway. Trolls, golems, ogres, Cyclops, and other large monsters rose like a blood-spattered mountain in the midst of battle. Their claws, clubs, axes, and oversize firsts rending and swatting the townspeople like toys, tearing through armor and flesh with equal ease.

Godric stood by at the fallen barricade swinging his huge sword taking dozens of monsters with every blow. Then a hawk-man came flying down at him knocking him a couple of feet off the ground. A horde of zortices, flesh eating giant apes fell upon him. His screams were cut off as blood sweep from the feasting mass. Becan with his great speed cut his way through to his fallen comrade. He threw a fuse-boom into the mass taking out the gang of zortices. He whips out two knives and slash at the monsters that dare to face him. A dog-man threw its lance at him pinning him to the ground as it went threw his left side. Holding onto the lance, Becan threw his remaining knife that he still held at the dog-man killing it. Then a fury of arrows from some hovering bee-men finishes off Becan.

A pair of grolls swinging axes rush at him. Kanin ran into the nearby pub inside he found a fierce battle going inside. A man was being slash apart by a gargoyle as another man was being killed by some zombies that had gang up on him. Some imps were throwing daggers around at the remaining people inside that were still fighting. He ran up the stairs as the two grolls were still at his heels. Two shots rang out and the two grolls fell off to the side of the stair rail breaking it as they fell. Ms. Lin standing in a doorway held a shotgun was waving at him while reloading her gun.

"Kanin get threw the window, I hold these guys off as long as, I can!" Ms. Lin shouted as she opened fire on the monsters that were coming upstairs. The sounds of a shotgun being fired rang in his ears as Kanin jump onto a nearby roof from the ruin Pub.

On top of a roof he jumps on he could see the battle and knew they were losing to the monsters. They were just too powerful for them and to many. A Dark Dragon came flying down breathing dark fire burning the buildings that still held people inside. Griffins, wing gargoyles, imps, and other flying type monsters flew down to the carnage down below. Only small groups of people were left and the ones that banded together only lived a bit longer then the ones that fought alone. Kanin turn his face away unable to look only to see something worse.

In the middle of the Town Square a dark man stood out being shadowed by the thin haze of smoke from the fires that rage around him. Watching the blood bath around him like he was in a different world all together surrounded by the bodies of the fallen. His face was completely blank it showed nothing at all, no rage, no joy, no feeling of any kind, nothing, nothing at all. Kanin felt cold fear entering him. The kind of fear that all little children feel when they're in the dark. Not knowing what's around you never knowing if something is out there waiting for you. Primal fear the fear of the unknown.

"How could that man can scare me like this just standing still like that?" the part of his mind that wasn't scared stiff thought.

His body was concealed in dark armor the color of the darkest night that absorbed the light from the ragging fire all around him. On his back was a long black sword with a blood red gem in the middle of the hilt. On his right gauntlet was a black gem the sizes of an eye. Kanin could feel the darkness and the violence dark energy radiating off of him in invisible waves his dark eyes looking at the battle go on around him watching as the towns people die along with monsters without any remorse or joy at all. By him was, Zodiac he had betrayed his own people and in his hands was the white Crystal of Time from the ruin pillar.

Mr. Turless then appeared from the battle jumping in from behind a raging fire. His armor and sword were covered with blood. Just as Zodiac gave the Crystal to Nightmaris he shouted out. "Zodiac how could you do this?"

Zodiac turns to face his old friend, "You were always too good of a whelp you can't even imagine the power he has given me prepare to die!"

The two swordsmen fought each other making sparks as their swords clash together. Andrew was weak from the fighting he had done but the hatred and the lost of his people gave him strength to fight. In one blow he cuts, Zodiac sword in two.

"Now you die!" Andrew shouted as he stab forward but Zodiac teleported away in a flash of light.

"Andrew Turless, Master of the Hunters you have fought well you have killed many of my best troops you would be a powerful warrior if you join me, but it's not in your nature to change sides so easily," Nightmaris said in an emotionless voice.

"Your right, I would never join with you," Andrew said looking hard at Nightmaris.

"So let's begin our battle now," Nightmaris said as he drew his black sword out and pointed it to him, "Your move brave hunter!"

Andrew jump forward slashing at him. But the moment Nightmaris sword hit with his it sword shatter into pieces as Nightmaris swung his to meet his blow.

"Killing you would be far too easy you shall have the sleep of stone," Nightmaris right hand began to glow then sent a black beam struck Andrew engulfing him before he could even let out a scream. When it was over, Andrew Turless was transform into stone.

"FATHER!!" Roam cried out as he ran towards Nightmaris with his sword aiming straight to his twisted heart. Roam sword went threw Nightmaris body but he didn't even move or made a sound when the sword hit him at all. He raises his left hand and backhanded Roam to the ground. He then pulled out the sword held it between his hands before snapping it in two.

"Forget it child your weapons can't kill me or even hurt me," Nightmaris said looking down at Roam.

Grabbing onto a rope that's tied to the roof top Kanin made a jump off swinging from the nearby roof top. Hanging onto the rope swinging towards, Nightmaris readying his blade to cut his head off. But Nightmaris just step aside and Kanin fell onto Roam.

"Kanin are you all right!" Shena shouted as she flew to them.

Nightmaris stared down at the three children who dared to challenge him. "Is this it the last thing in this town that can throw at me is three children who can't even give me a fight that, I would even bother to fight with?" he ask. Then he saw the one called Kanin and knew who he was. 'So they would go that far just to save themselves from me this changes everything.'

"I won't kill you just now, but lets see what power the Time Crystal has when I use it with the Magic Crystal."

He places the crystal into a slot in his left gauntlet then his hands glowed a dark green as he power up for a spell. A green beam shot out engulfing them and sending them twisting around in a black vortex. Kanin and Shena grab onto each other as they were sent flying over the Sea of Doom as Roam was sent far northeast. The vortex wasn't done yet it hit the hill that the other kids were at and blew them away.

"Now everything is now in motion lets see if they play their roles as, I plan them to play them as," Nightmaris said to himself as he watches the children flying off to different parts of the world just as he planed it to be.

Looking up to the sky knowing that he is being watch in this world by the one who trick him trapping him here. "But of course with you Kami having the chaos pillar being reborn into this world who knows what will happen but will he really try to stop me once he knows what you did to him just so he be powerful enough to stop me you know as, I do that he doesn't want to be a puppet like before having other people thinking what is right for him and there's no way you or the others can interfere with him now in this world without freeing me now is there he in fact may even come to help me for what you and the others have done now isn't that right Kanin Claymore or should, I say Ranma the Wild Horse."
