Hey, everybody! I'm back! This is chapter two of The Past of Utopia. Enjoy!

Chapter Two

Banishment

Hope glanced at the sky. He was an odd Chaos Xyz, to be sure. His father was too busy to train with him anymore and his elder brother had been promoted to a Number Over

a Hundred. His younger brother had been banished because he couldn't become an Xyz, and had fled to Photon World, and had thus earned the title Photon Dragon, the

leader of Photon World. Now, he was all alone. His mother never trained with him and his sisters had disappeared. Hope was alone. He walked to his favorite place, a cliff

overlooking the Supreme Castle, home of the Barian Emperor Nash. Hope had never met any Emperor besides Girag, but he still dreamed of meeting Nash and Marin, the

leaders of the Emperors. He hoped that soon, he would join his brother as a Number Over a Hundred. And really, why wouldn't he? Every Chaos Xyz desired the positions, but

only seven could be chosen, one for each Emperor. "Hope, where are you? The Emperor Nash wishes to see you." his mother called. Hope sat up. Impossible. As much

as he wanted to be a Number Over a Hundred, he didn't think he was worthy. He was nothing like his brother. Hope walked to the Supreme Castle, and entered with care.

He didn't know what to expect, so he kept his mouth closed. Nash saw him coming, and as Hope knelt down in reverence, he said, "Rise." Hope stood up and asked, "You

sent for me, your grace?" Nash glanced at his sister, then at Hope. "I did. Are you aware of the Astral World growing stronger than before?" Hope had not heard of this, and

was curious. "No, but I'm willing to find out how." Nash glanced at the window. "Recently, Girag has told me of your skill. You've grown strong, but not strong enough. You

have heard that Marin is looking for a Number Over a Hundred?" Hope nodded, but said nothing. Nash glanced at her, then at Hope. "My sister prefers the water kind, much

like me. Which means you will not have the position." Hope nodded. "I understand." Nash glanced at him again. "Then you also know that I must cast out all failures." It

was a statement, not a question. Hope nodded. Nash looked sorry. "I'm sorry, but you must leave Barian World before dawn tomorrow and never return." Hope nodded. "I

understand." Nash closed his eyes. "You may leave." Hope turned around and walked out. The rest of the day was spent packing what few belongings he had, including his

twin swords. Then, he left through a portal and went to seek shelter in Photon World.
