Babylon sat among the dead monsters he defeated, that moment kept replaying in his mind over and over, never letting him rest when he slept it woke him guild chat buzzed on and karas voice came through it"saber whats wrong?"he asked, babylon stayed quiet"i know your there calen told me what happened man its not your fault"he said concerned."shut up"babylon said quietly,"what?!"kara said a bit ticked,"i said shut up its my fault i wont let you make excuses for me"he demanded and shut off his guild chat. he took out the ear piece and shoved it in his pocket,"its my fault..."he said to himself,he heard foot steps, he activated his helmet and grabbed his cannon pointing it at the sound. it was a elsword classed magic knight"whoa whoa calm down"he said holding his hands up"take my walet just dont shoot"he said with a looked at him and set the cannon back down and left his helmet on"leave me alone"he plead, the magic knight sat beside him"whats wrong?"he asked,babylon looked away from him.

"well im Xentus" he said holding out his hand with a big smile,babylon looked at his hand"im babylon the lone tower"he said quietly. xen looked at him "dont you have friends?"he asked,babylon noded. a menu appered infront of xen and he started pushing a few buttons and a message appered infront of babylon "friend request" it said, well let me be your friend"he said smiling at him, babylon didnt see harm in it, he accepted.

a message appered in his face"new area opened altera!"it said,he opened his teleport menu and went there. he saw tons of people like elder, he pulled out his vail and activated it, he saw some goldengreen tinted hair. it was calen a about twenty yards away, he moved closer staying beside a building looking at her,she looked beautiful she smiled at aranka as she traded some coins for a longed to be near her,he crept closer she was talking to kara"have you heard anything from babylon"she asked kara, babylon walked up behind her. he reach out to tap her shoulder but stopped,he hung his head and and quietly walked off, he turned the courner and ran into xen"what the hell babylon?"he asked,babylon glared at him"stay out of it"babylon growled at him. babylon went around xen and kept walking"come on what the hell was that even i could see you wanted to talk to that girl what stopped you"xen asked keeping pace, babylon looked at him"im too weak"he yelled and stormed off leaving xen behind. babylon ran all the way back to elder, he checked his mail box for his daily mail he would get,he shifted through the coupons for phoru stake and other such foods and he can across a letter from calen.

he opened it"dear babylon i miss you please stop running and talk to me i dont blame you, i never did please come back" the letter went on but he didnt care in side was a summon stone a present from her for his work with the lizard warriors. he tore up the letter and kept the stone, he only felt despair at the moment. he shoved the stone in his pocket and felt something stab into his hand, he pulled out the cube glave gave him"greatest challenge huh?"he said to himself, he crushed the little cube and found himself on a large version of it, all around him was the great void of space and more cubes. glave stood before him"welcome weakling to henirs time and space"glave said. babylon activated his armor"i will take your offer for a challenge"he said slaming his cannon down. glave watched him"hmm where to start you"glave said to himself, he snapped his fingers and disappered,the area was very different he was back in rubens stood before him. babylon laughed and slammed into the phoru knocking him back,loaded his cannon and fired off a few rounds into the weak thief. the fights didnt last long,he cleared all of elder and bethma quickly and burned his way through altera he rech the nasod king, the massive nasod towered above him"you dare challenge me?"he demanded, babylon yelled yes but it wasnt looking at him, he looked over and saw calen. it wasnt the real her but it was a future form of her,she was badly hurt and could barely stand, babylon was helpless he couldnt help her. the nasod king was too much for her alone and in her state, he watched a gruesome ending to the fight.

babylon crumbled his mind racing, glave stood before him"strangth isnt just muscle, your mind must be sharpened and unbreakable"he said twirling cubes two cubes in his hand. babylon got up and grabed glave by the collar"is that gonna happen"he demanded. glave chuckled"if you arent careful that will be her fate", babylon let go of his collar."how do i keep it from happening"babylon said pleaded. "time and fate is always changing, we never know which timeline we will fo..."babylon shook him"i dont care tell me how"he demanded. glave rolled his eye"fine just keep a eye on her and she will live"he said with a sigh"no one truely cares about the laws of time and space"

the moment babylon got out of there he put on his ear peice and set it so only kara would hear"kara" he said running to altera."well well the great and mighty saber have graced us with his presence"kara said his voice filled with sarcasum,"look calens in trouble where is she?"babylon asked, kara sighed"fine but you got to not ignore me"he said before looking at the guild masters rooster"ok calen is currently in alteras party shuffle". babylon grabbed a spider skull on the way there and covered his face and traded in his GoD tickets for a hair dye and a costume. he wore red clothes of a noble, his hair was dyed pink and his brown tips white and hung like fanged around his neck. he entered the shuffle house a nasod greeted him"hello welcome random or choice pick party" it asked"i want a to be in the party with CalenTather"he said, the nasod nodded"this way"he asked. he took his seat and waited, everything about this felt wrong, he couldnt face calen but if he left her alone she will die. the message to start appered for the altera core, he found it was just him and calen. he felt like she was gonna recognise him, when they started the dungeon she walked over to him and held out her hand"hi thanks for running with me i was afraid i would have to take it on alone"babylon nodded trying not to talk, she ran forward and destroied those infront of her, she became so powerful.

they tore through everything easly, he felt better he was gonna change her fate, they entered the boss room the nasod king stared down at them"two more ants dare to challenge me"he said slamming his hand down between them, more nasods dropped down and attacked him and calen. it went from bad to worse quickly, he lay on the ground his body not doing as he asked. he could see calen standing despite of the nasod kings power, babylon had a cold chill run down his spine"you dare to challenge me"the nasod king rawred, he raised his fist, babylon fired off his cannon launching himself into calen knocking her away,it slammed down on him. he felt every bone in his body crack and his very life want to escape out of his body. the skull mask on his face cracked and parts broke off, the nasod king stared at the broken boy he crushed"child you dare try to defy me"he yelled in anger, he ordered his nasods to grab babylon and hold him in the center"i will destroy your very essence"he said a light began to shine out of his chest, babylon didnt care his life would soon end, he managed to fight fate and keep calen alive. it began to shine brighter he was almost blinded until a shadow passed over the light, on the nasod kings hand it was calen climbing up the giant nasod. she managed to reach the back of his neck where wires were exposed, he cut at them. the nasod king sputered"wha what?"he demanded the light dimed, the nasods dropped babylon and rushed towards there ruler by the time they got to him it was to late. he was offline and falling apart, after about twenty minutes calen made it back to babylon."phew we are not doing that again"she laughed, babylon groaned.

calen helped babylon get to a inn,"i got to thank you for saving me"she said setting him on a bed. she sat beside him "you know i dont know your name yet, what is it?"she asked peeking under the mask. babylon groaned"sorry can you get me some food?" he asked his voice a bit deeper. she nodded and bounced off, babylon clenched his teeth and got out of the bed and out the window, he sat there for a moment and heard her come back"hey i got you a..."she stopped and saw he was gone,she whispered his name. babylon hopped down to the ground, he heard the guild chat buzz on"kara i saw babylon"she said excited, kara laughed"great tell me how did th bastard look?" kara asked a bit amused"he changed his hair its pink now, to be honest it works"she said giggling to herself. calen searched through out altera for babylon, he barely avoided her. he watched her walked down a random street looking, he took a step out of the alley he was in and heard a crunch he looked down and saw a flyer"want more power join the ranks of second classes now".
