Sorry guys, I wasn't sure how to write yet and those words apparently ended up there... No idea how... ANYWAYS, lets get on with the real stories.
Trial 001
I was on my way to what I believed was gonna be the hardest fight I've ever faced... Even more difficult than the demon hunting. Hmmmmm, I wonder who he meant when he says "familiar"? Guess I'll find out when I get- "RED!" Shouted a feminine voice, rudely interrupting my train of thought. "Where were you!? I thought I told you to be here at 8a.m. sharp!" Shouted the Ember Charm, "Yea, yea. Too bad I was cleaning up the messes you 'good' spirits made while I was away at Breeze Beach." I replied with sarcasm as Fiora was still in my face. "Geez, can't we get this over with, I need to head back to Arelle(A/N: That is actually that guys name on Brave Frontier, don't ask me why, it just is.) as soon as possible." Commented the Sylvian Excalibur. "We'll be in as soon as possible, but I don't know about out, but we'll deal with this challenge once we've gotten to it." I said rather bluntly. "Well in any case, we must hurry, I have to be back at the orphanage by noon. The kids need their lunches." Atro said while impatiently tapping his foot. "Can we go in yet? Jack is starting to get anxious!" Semira said while having her puppy eyes on, normally puppy eyes look cute, except when that person has wings on her head, had SHARP canines and had those reptilian eyes. Suddenly, a figure that looked like an armored burny crashed into the Pumpress, "Gah-" was her only response to it. Normally, I would be worried but this is Semira we're talking about. "Really Vishra? How many other people are you gonna crush?" I asked the armored burny. "ALL LIVING BEINGS SHALL TASTE MY BLADE-"*WHACK*"I honestly don't care Vishra." I deadpanned, "You can go practicing in Mistral after we're done but I will not accept any human blood spilt!" At first Vishra looked taken back by this comment than he just sat on the ground as if waiting... Than again we all are.
"Lively as always I see" commented the inventor. "We'll look who decided to show up!" I replied, and at the same time, I could swear I heard a sigh of relief come from the Rakshasa Lord. "Well are we gonna do this or not!" Fiora said... Actually it was more like she demanded it. "Yes, yes! Come in! My creation is waiting for you all!" Noel said with slight excitement. "However, with your first team, it doesn't look like you'll have the upper hand." He said while looking at Vishra then back to the lab. "Well come on!" The spirits shouted in unison. Well, at least Atro, Semira and Fiora were the ones that shouted. "Shuddup." I said as I was starting too walk in, "Let's get going."
What I saw standing in the middle of the battlefield that Noel had constructed in his spare time was someone that I was familiar with. "Karl?" was all I could say as I looked at the famous leader of the 24th demon slayer division, a.k.a. "Rebel Lance".
"I thought I was going to fight your creation? Why am I fighting Karl?" I asked Noel in confusion as I made a gesture towards the warrior. "Well, you see, that Karl that you see in front of you is nothing but a mock unit of your friend. Now be warned, he is much stronger than most of the beings you have encountered so I would suggest that you back down now while you still can." Noel said with a smirk. I replied with a smirk of my own, "Well then, let's see how your well your mock unit can do against me! Battle positions every one!" I told them, and they listened. "Get ready Karl!" Noel commanded the mock and it did so. "EVERYONE AT ONCE!" Fiora yelled.
As as the battle raged on, Vishra was wiped out but we were still doing a considerable amount of damage to them. "NOW FIORA! USE SBB!" I commanded her, "Got it, SCARLET KISS!" She shouted as she unleashed multiple slashes on the warrior, and with the final slash, it went through his armor. "Nngh, that stung" Karl cringed as he clutched his abdomen, "I underestimated you! I'm not holding back anymore!" A blinding light filled the room for a moment than when the light faded stood the mock, fully healed and it looked like he had a spirit behind him, a rhinoceros I guess? "Alright! Go and beat them back in their place Karl!" Noel encouraged his creation, however the mock wasn't focused on him at all, he was focused on me. "Sorry for the hold up Red! Alright, let's do this!" Karl said as he unleashed a barrage of attacks on my team. Soon the only one left was Semira, "I don't think I'll be winning this fight Red, sorry." She cringed as she collapsed from exhaustion. I just went over to her and picked her up bridal style and put her on the sidelines. "Is that all? I expected more from one of the mighty Original Gods.(A/N: For those who don't know, Original God is a very high rank in the arena, just a few away from being a Radiant Saint. After that there are other ranks us Globals have yet to reach and I plan on reaching them.) Or perhaps you were just all bark?" Noel tried to mock me, "Well let's see how Karl does against my next team aye?" I than summoned my mono thunder team.
Out of the light popped up any water elements worst nightmare. Out came Flaring Massacre Rize, Mecha God Grybe, Beast God Exvehl, Echo Sibyl Zele, and they were all lead by Thunder Legend Eze. "Wait... Where's Balgran?" I asked the team, I'm pretty sure Allegro let me use him for this. "He had to do something else so it's just us." Rize explained. "Oh well, I bet you can still do this, even without him." I sighed knowing this last part was going to be easy. "Well what are we waiting for!?" Exclaimed Eze, "LETS GET IN THERE AND KNOCK SOME HEADS!" Eze was put in the lead of this group, so there was pretty much nothing I could do about it. That's when we heard an audible gulp.
We stared at where the sound came from and saw a shaking Karl. "Do I really have to fight them Noel?" He asked his creator, pointing at the thunder team. "I doubt you have high chances of winning but you can still fight so stop being a baby!" Noel scowled at him. As my team got ready, Karl took his fighting stance, and I was just standing there with a grin on my face. "Well? What are you all waiting for?" I asked my spirits, with a hint of sarcasm, "Get in there and fight!" I commanded them and they did so. At first, I saw Karl hesitated for a moment but he still ran in.
They exchanged blow for blow until, somehow, Eze and Karl were they only ones left. "THUNDER COMET SLASH!" "BLUE EXECUTION!" Each spirit shouted their respective attack but since element mostly wins, and Eze is an overwhelmly Thunder spirit, Eze easily knocked away the attack and did his amount of damage but he was still on his last legs. "Just a little more, now, OVERDRIVE!" I commanded the Thunder Legend, "Uwaaaah!"(A/N: I just thought this is how units would go into overdrive... Sorta like Goku going SSJ3... Just my thoughts about it.) "Gah! Finish him now Karl!" Noel practically screamed at the mock, that was the moment I threw a strange look mini-statue at Eze. As Karl unleash his barrage of attacks, Eze took them all.
"Ha! Looks like you'll have to try better than that to beat me!" Exclaimed Noel basking in his "Victory"... "Hehehe, I'm not out yet." You could hear the gasp from both Noel and Karl, because standing there was a bruised and battered Eze. I proceeded to throw a Fujin Potion at him, "Use UBB already!" I impatiently yelled at the spirit, "Got it, I'LL DESTROY EVERYTHING!" His tone didn't even sound human but I had gotten used to it over time. And lets just say Noel was gonna be working awhile to fix his little battlefield.
"Well Noel, looks like the Original God is still kicking while you're just... Well you get what I mean." I said as I walked off with, carrying Karl like a patato bag(slung over my shoulder) back to the village.
Once I laid Karl down in the infirmary I felt this sudden feeling. "Am I forgetting something?" I pondered.
Back at the Lab
"Ugh" Semira moaned, "Where is everyone?"
Finally! This took two days to come up with, mostly because I was being interrupted left and right, and there's school. Cya you guys next time!
