Overview:
After defeating
the 55th cevar, Hawk Eye, Scarface was declared as a high cevar. Once
in a while, a gathering of the four fighters is held at the City of Juliannes.
"I heard that one of the prizes of the tournament is receiving the hand of the daughter of Gran Lee. I do hope she's a chick!" said one of the warriors.
"Yeah! but what if the person who won is already married?" Meis Lag, Dias' father asked and placed his hand on his chin. "Hmm… ouch!! What did you do that for?"
"MEIS!! You already have two children and me!! If you ever win that tournament!! I tell you, you'll regret that you did!!" Hannah cried as she waved her weapon towards him and started beating him.
"Ouch! Ouch!! Okay! Okay! I was just kidding!! But what if you won?"
Immediately, Hannah stopped beating her husband and said, "Well! What do you expect! Of course I will decline that particular reward! I can't possibly marry another girl! But if I really won… oh ~ ~ maybe they'd let me have Crimson!! He's cute! * blush blush *"
" * sigh * Really now! You already have two children and I'm still alive! * sigh * "
At the end of the day, the tournament ended with a fighter from Kuruda, emerging as the winner. The Holy Knight then announced that the assembly will be held the next day as planned. This will be followed by the marriage and then the reception both to be held on the palace garden.
The twins left the house of the Lag after receiving their tutelage from Dias. A year after they left, a disease hit Blourahan killing many people including their parents. Soon, Elle was infected too. Dias, having seen the pain his parents gone through, feared for Elle's health. He then fought in battles to earn money to find cure for his younger sister. He continued to fight knowing that his body may deteriorate if he keeps this up. After some more fights, he was able to gather enough money and find Elle the best doctor ever to cure her. Elle, soon recovered and was back to normal but her brother's condition starts to weaken.
Four years had passed since that incident.
"Big brother, I decided to leave for a while and train myself more."
"Umm.. be
careful then."
Three years later, the soma started to drop.
"It seemed like someone is coming and heading towards the Holy City." Crimson said as he watched the soma dropped. "Even though the soma dropped only an inch, this could mean a war might broke out. We'd better be prepared."
"Excuse me, but a young man, neither from any of the four countries, was sighted heading towards Juliannes! Will we send a messenger?" again, the soma dropped after the soldier has said his news.
"Darn!! Prepare the troops, he might be the one causing the soma to fall!! Send a messenger to be sure!" Gran Lee ordered.
"Yes sir!!"
Soon another soldier came with an another message. "Sir, G was sighted fighting with the young man!!"
"All troops!! MOVE OUT!! This young man might have brought a whole army with him. Better to be prepared for battle!"
"Yes sir!!"
"Take this!!" G threw a punch, which connected with the young man's face and sent him flying.
As soon as the stranger landed, an army surrounded him.
"What are you doing?!" Gran Lee demanded and ordered the troops to seize him.
"Are you trying to disrupt the peace in the Holy City?!!" added Folstice.
"What? Wait a minute! There must be some misunderstanding here! Let me explain, I'm not here to disturb or anything. I was requested to come here." The young man explained.
"You'll explain everything later. Lock him up!!" Gran Lee ordered the soldiers.
"Hey!! I'm not going to be sent to a dungeon!!" cried the young man as he fought the battalion.
Inside the palace, the Queen with Scarface watched the young man fought the army.
"So, is this is the person you told me about, Scarface?"
"Yes, your Highness."
"I see, he's really good as you said. But I thought there were two of them?"
"Yes, she will be on her way here after finishing her work in Blourahan first."
"What are their names again?"
"Smith and Cleo."
"How cute!!! Well, I think your brother has enough already."
Two days later, Cleo entered the palace of Juliannes. At the garden, she saw Smith sparring with two children.
"Hey! Smith!! I didn't know you already have children! Hehe.."
"Shut up! They're not mine!! They're big brother's."
"Haha.. I know that! I was just teasing! Gran Lee must be happy to have two grandchildren." She continued watching them spar when suddenly, the two kids got a punch in and hit their uncle, which threw him a few feet.
"Well… they're Scarface's children alright." Said the newcomer.
"Dias, brother!!! I didn't see you." Smith cried.
"I was just talking with Crimson and G."
"How are you doing?? I heard you were not feeling well."
"I'm fine now."
"Of course Dias is fine!! That's why I was sent there to heal him!! He's completely healed!! Are you doubting my abilities?" Cleo said.
"I know, I know, just asking!! Elle arrived here yesterday, too. She was with a kid."
"Really? Guy or girl?" investigated Cleo as her eyes gleamed.
"Geezzz.. he's a guy but don't get your hopes up! He's younger than Elle! So it means he's far younger than you!"
"Hey! I'm not that old!! Elle and I are only 3 yrs apart!! Besides are you implying you're also old?"
"Whatever!! Pedophile!" Smith called as he walked off and head towards the assembly room with Dias.
"HEY!!! I
RESENT THAT!!!!"
Inside the assembly room, selected warriors from the four countries gathered.
"Listen everyone! Our information says that 3 neighboring countries are planning an all out attack to destroy the Holy City." Gran Lee said. The warriors then discussed plans and strategies to win against three countries.
The next morning, the warriors proceed to their stationed places. G, Dias, Smith, and Cleo were stationed in Kuruda. The others stayed were to stay in Juliannes.
Inside the enemies' camp, the leaders were discussing about tactics to bring Ashlianna down to its knees.
"We might as well position our armies here. They least expect us to attack from there." The captain said as he pointed to the map. "We're sure to take them by surprise!! Besides, the others are already inside the other cities. So, we attack tomorrow."
"Good!! I've been waiting for this!"
"You're Highness!! The enemy has advanced also towards Felicia, Lekitor, and Kishurana!!" a soldier reported.
"What was
that? How could that be? Kuruda has not yet fallen!! How could they have
entered?!!" cried Gran Lee.
"The enemy sent one fighter, who uses Kuruda style annihilation technique Ying style, to each country." announced Crimson as he entered the room. "The fighters skills are comparable to the strength of a cevar. It seemed like they sent them even before the war broke out. We'd better send our armies and prevent their advances."
"Felicia and Lekitor have both been defeated and their armies are heading towards the Holy City!!" another soldier entered the room.
"Come on!! Come on!! Armies of Felicia!! Your cevar has been defeated!! Move forward!! I will sure defeat anyone who turns back!! Hurry up slow pokes!! We don't have time to lose!! We'll soon be reaching the Holy City!!! If we hurry up, we might even catch up with Guru in Lekitor!!"
"Darn it!! they think they have out-smarted us!! Hiding in those mountains!! I'll get those armies on the mountains!!" Smith cried as he started off towards the mountains.
"You'd better be careful! Those armies have cannons and bows with them." said Cleo as she kicked the enemies butt. "I think I better go with you."
"Whatever!"
"Darn these soldiers!! They don't give up!" G said.
"I know! But we'd better hurry here. Kishurana has also been defeated and are heading towards the Holy City." Dias said.
"Hurry up men!! We're already behind schedule! I'll take care of that cevar!!"
"Hmp! We'll see about that!" G replied as he threw punches at him.
Hours passed by and the war continued on. Kuruda is still been continuing its struggle with its enemy. The armies coming from the remaining three cities have reached the Holy City and started its battle. Scarface, Crimson, and Elle each faced the three Ying fighters. Gau, together with Scar's kids helped out fighting the army.
At sunset, two of the Ying fighters had already been defeated and Crimson went to help Elle with her opponent. The armies are being pushed back. The armies from the three countries were starting to fight Ashlianna's real enemies. Soon, troops from Kuruda also arrived and helped kicking their butts. Having defeated the last of the Ying fighter, the remaining soldiers soon retreated thus the war ended.
A year after the war, a tournament in Kuruda was held. Dias, Elle, Cleo, and Smith also joined the competition in hopes of winning and becoming a cevar. The four fought every opponent they faced and won every match. And soon the inevitable came; Dias sparred with Elle. Elle showed to be a good fighter and fought well even if she was facing her own brother. But Dias, having more experience in fighting than Elle defeated her after a few rounds. The next battle came; Cleo faced Smith. The two siblings fought real well. It took a few rounds before one of the siblings was taken down.
"Well, I'm
too tired already! * pant! pant! *
"Well, I don't think I'll win the next match though! * pant! pant! * I'm also worn-out! Darn!! I know this is going to happen!! If we didn't face each other, one of us might even have a chance, even a little, against Dias. But this is an inevitable fight! Oh well, better luck next time then!" said Smith as he walked out of the arena with Cleo.
At dusk, the
winner of the tournament was already determined and received the title of the 59th
cevar, Black Wing, Dias Lag.
