Chapter 1: The Chaos

Present

All around Elrios, there have been sudden hostile rages consuming random people, causing them to suddenly go berserk and begin killing random people around them. These people can only be stopped by their own death.

2 years ago...

A young boy, in his teens has come to Ruben. He had black hair, and wore some armor, but not too much. He had two swords(two Lord Knight promotion swords). One sword on his left thigh, and the other one his back, leaning to the left.

This young warrior had come to Ruben to challenge the rune slayer of the Red Knights, Elsword. He has come for the sword Elsword uses(Rune Slayer promotion blade). This young challenger had searched high and low for Elsword, until he noticed Storm Blade being used and spinning higher than the trees. He quickly ran to the area where it was.

Elsword had been teaching the use of runes to the students of the Red Knights. He would teach the magic knights, while Aisha taught the normal knights that had wanted to become magic knights and eventually make it to rune slayer.

"Is there an Elsword here?"a voice called out from the trees

Elsword, clad in his usual training and fighting clothes(Rune Slayer promotional stuff) went forward from his students.

"That would be me"he said with a smirk as he pointed to himself"and who's askin?"

"That would be me, Riku Kannagi"Riku said as he stepped out of the forest and into the clearing that the knights had been training in. "I'd like to challenge you to a duel"

"Well, it's been a while since I dueled someone, I'm guessing you want something if you win?"Elsword replied

"I want only one thing"Riku said with a long pause"your sword"he pointed to the sword in Elsword's hand.

"Well, you must clearly know how important a sword is to its wielder. But what will you do if you lose?" Elsword stated before asking a question

"I'll forget the ways of the lord knight and learn under you to become a runeslayer, although runeslayers and magic users are obviously weaker than those that have devoted themselves to the sword and only the sword"Riku said with a smirk

Some of the magic knights were obviously upset at what Riku had said, but Elsword only let out a laugh.

"Alright, I'll take you up on that, so remember to always meet here early I the morning for your training. My wife teaches the knights to become magic knights, and you'll need to learn that before becoming a rune slayer"Elsword said with a sly smirk.

Riku merely chuckled as he drew the sword on his waist with his right hand, and drew the sword on his back with his left hand.

One of the students got in the middle of them and started a countdown.

Both Riku and Elsword were ready as they took their battle stances.

"FIGHT!"the student yelled

Elsword stood there, his guard up, waiting for his challenger to make the first move. Riku attacked right off the bat with Assault Slash. He rushed in, holding his swords forward as he seemed to fly towards Elsword. Elsword waited till Riku was closer before he yelled out"Rising Slash", and four magic blades flew out of the ground toward Riku, who used one sword to clash against one magic blade as he slashed at Elsword with the other. Their swords hit with much force. Riku and Elsword had their swords locked, as Riku used both swords to push against his red haired adversary. Riku then felt his sword hilt seem hotter, and then Elsword's sword burst into flames, along with the immediate area around him. Riku suffered from burns as he jumped back and looked at Elsword with a scowl on his face. Riku then sheathed one sword, and held the other with both hands"Armageddon Blade"he said as his blade was surrounded by what looked like a magic sword, yet it's power was derived from his fighting spirit and increased his sword's strength and range.

"Interesting"Elsword said with a smirk as he gripped his flaming blade in both hands and slowly walked forward to Riku. The lord knight jumped in the air with a front flip, his blade spinning and cutting into the ground. Elsword reacted as he put his sword up, redirecting it from hitting him as he ran over to Riku, hit his sword once, before sliding behind Riku and throwing a rune at him from behind.

Riku was knocked forward a bit as the rune hit him, giving Elsword the perfect opportunity. The rune slayer ran towards Riku, making a rune under the lord knight and exposing it, which sent the young challenger into the air, followed by a pheonix talon, sending Riku even higher into the air, and as he came down, was hit with a final attack from Elsword as the rune slayer cast Luna Blade and struck Riku with it. Riku was on the ground, his sword a few feet from him. The armageddon blade had worn off. Riku struggled to get up. Elsword walked towards him with a smirk on his face.

"Well, I'll be seeing you here tomorrow, bright and early then"he said as Riku went unconscious.

Elsword had a couple of students help Riku up and take him to his own home where his wife could take care of him and give him a new uniform.

As the students arrived at Elsword's home, a purple haired magician was making dinner.

"Pardon us, miss Aisha, but Elsword told us to bring him here."one of the students said

"Oh, and who's this?"she asked, curious about the teen

"He said his name was Riku. He challenged Elsword for his ... Sword and lost, so now he has to become a rune slayer before he can re challenge Elsword"the other one said

"Oh, okay, then. I have a visitor of my own, so when you pass the library, be a little quiet."Aisha said with a kind but stern voice. The students all feared her. Elsword had told them that Rena has rubbed off on her, and they could all see it. The two nodded and walked to a room that Aisha showed them that was empty.

In the library, a blue haired girl was sitting in one of the three chairs as she read a book on spacial and dimensional magic. She looked up as the two magic knights carried the fallen lord knight.

Chapter end!

So, how was it?

Please drop some reviews with your thoughts and maybe some improvements you think would help. Or if you think this was horrible and that I'm the worst writer on here, just tell me and I'll immediately go an hang myself.

Anyways, this is more some backstory on Riku and the next chapter will be a continuation on this flashback, I course you could say.
