Rune Factory Heroes

Chapter 4

A New Threat

"I'm so glad I got the job!" the ghost girl said in happiness as she paraded around in hell, "I will be the best god of the Underworld ever!"

"Eh..." an archdaemon mumbled, "Probably..."

"Well... I would be the goddess of the Underworld." the ghost girl mumbled, "So... You're showing me around?"

"That's my job, your highness." the archdaemon muttered and led her into the area.

"You... Were incredible..." Melody said as she and Camus lay in bed, "Woah..."

"I can spice it up even being 500 years dead." Camus chuckled, "Yep! That's the best paint job ever!" he looked at the ceiling, which was colored a mellow beige.

"You're the best handyman." Melody chuckled, "You think you could fix the door too?"

"Sure." Camus laughed, "I'll get on everything."

"Mom? Dad?" a voice called,

"Oh, rats." Melody grumbled, "She's here.."

"You go." Camus said, "I'll just finish the work left here."

"Thank you." Melody said and pecked him on the cheek, "You're the best."

"And this is Maximum Security." the archdaemon said as he led the goddess to a huge cliff with cells embedded into it,

"Who's here?" the goddess asked, then peered into a tiny little slot, only to see the Masked Man inside the isolated room,

"It's just the crooks who released the Legendary Golem." the archdaemon responded, "They're in here for all eternity."

"Oh.." the goddess mumbled as they kept on.

"Raguna!" Lara called, "Lunch is ready!"

SCHLIP!

"Hello!" Raguna said right after he warped, "Alright!"

"Huh..." Lara sighed,

"What's wrong?" Raguna asked as he held the plate of food,

"It's just.." Lara mumbled, "You're the strongest in the universe... But I'm your wife... I hope you don't take advantage of me.."

"Why would I do that!?" Raguna said in shock, "That's absurd!"

"Huh..." Lara sighed once more, "I guess... But still..."

"Look, Lara.. I would never hurt you." Raguna told her, "Never ever... Now.. Relax." he lightly patted her arm.

"WAH!" Lara screamed as she was blasted away, hitting the wall.

"Lara!?" Raguna yelled and flew over to her, "I'm so sorry! I don't know my own strength!"

"Woah..." Lara groaned and rubbed her head...

"Hyah!" Aaron sparred with Aria, "Take this!"

"YAH!" Aria screamed as she was kneed in the gut and then smashed down,

"Ha ha!" Aaron said in victory as he placed the tip of his blade on Aria's throat, "I win!"

"Rats..." Aria grumbled, and she stood up,

However, the two turned when they heard a slow clap, it was Camus.

"Good job, Aaron." Camus said, "How about you take me on?"

"Hmph." Aaron grunted, "Alright... GRAH!" he yelled ran with his sword.

KLINK! Camus blocked the sword with his two fingers,

"RAH RAH RAH!" Aaron continued slicing,

but Camus kept blocking, no difficulty at all.

"HAAH!" Aaron yelled at the top of his lungs and unleashed a devastating chop,

"Ha!" Camus said and caught the sword, then snapped it in half.

"Wha!?" Aira said,

"Gah..." Aaron mumbled as he saw his broken blade, "No..."

"You still have a lot of work to do." Camus said,

"Grr.." Aaron growled, then threw his blade away, "Teach me..."

"Huh?" Camus said in surprise, knowing Aaron's narcissistic tendencies,

"I want to become stronger!" Aaron yelled, "Teach me how to!"

"Hm..." Camus mumbled, "You are part human, right?" he asked,

"Yes." Aaron said, "What's it to you?"

"On our mother's side." Aria added,

"I guess I can teach you this..." Camus said, "If your physiology allows..."

"What do you mean by that?" Aria asked,

"From what I know... Only Humans can do this." Camus said and took a stance.

(Note, he is in his Ultimate form.)

"What?" Aaron said as Camus started to power up,

"Grr... Ahhh..." Camus grunted, "GRAHH!" he started to yell, his veins popping up, his muscles contracting, "AAHHHH!" his pupils started to decrease in size,

"What's this!?" Aria yelled,

"AARGHHHH!" Camus screamed in pain, his hair was starting to spike up, the white aura was flailing outwards, his muscles shot up in size, "AAAHHHHH!" Camus gave one great final yell.

"Woah..." Aaron said in awe,

"Ha... Ha... Ha..." Camus panted, "Hehehehehe..." he chuckled, "Want to know what this is? Well, I exploited my body's entire power. All my natural inhibitors are removed... I can use 100% of my natural power... You can try... You just have to concentrate.."

"Alright!" Aaron said and started to power up, "Grr..."

"Let's see." Camus said as he saw the hybrid,

"Ahhh..." Aaron started, "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" he started to yell,

"A piece of advice!" Camus called out, "It might get a bit painful!"

"YAAHHHHH!" Aaron screamed as his muscles started to increase in size greatly, as did his veins, his pupils also started to decrease in size,

"Aaron!" Aria yelled, seeing her brother was in pain,

"AAAAAAHHHYAAAAHH!" Aaron continued, he felt as if his heart would burst, for it was pumping very rapidly, "AAUUUUGHH! AHHHH!" he gave one final scream before it was all over.

"Awesome." Camus chuckled as he saw the hybrid,

"Ha... Ha... ha..." Aaron weezed, but felt the new increase in his power, "He..he... I am stronger than I ever was before... I can definitely win..."

"My turn!" Aria said and started to power up,

"Oh boy..." Camus mumbled.

"AHHH!" Aria gave her last scream and reached her form, "Ha... ha.." she panted, "This is great.." she mumbled, admiring her strength.

"I can take you on, Camus!" Aaron said,

"If you say so!" Camus chuckled,

"I know so!" Aaron yelled and charged, "GRAH!"

"Woop!" Camus said and avoided the blow,

"RAH!" Aaron followed and kept trying to hit him, but missed everytime.

"Over here!" Camus taunted,

"Stop running, coward!" Aaron yelled and chased him, "GRR!" he powered up once more,

"I'm not running!" Camus said, "You're just too slow!"

"Shut up!" Aaron growled and threw a powerful punch,

"Ha!" Camus avoided it.

"How..." Aaron grumbled, incredibly tired, and reverted to his base, "I was so... Powerful.."

"There's a reason I don't use that form, Aaron." Camus mumbled, "Those bulky muscles may give you strength, but they seriously cut your speed.. If I used it in the Tournament, Raguna would have plowed me to the ground!" he said, "Sometimes, it's more about brains than brawn."

"What a ripoff." Aaron groaned,

"But you did learn a new move! A move not even Raguna knows about!" Camus smiled, "That's something!"

"That's good!" Aria said,

"Say, I have a question." Camus asked,

"Shoot." Aaron responded,

"Why were you two never married?" Camus mumbled, "That's very weird."

"Eh..." Aria muttered,

"It... Em.." Aaron mumbled, "We have to go..." he went haste towards the door,

"Yeah..." Aria said and also left abruptly.

"What is this?" the goddess of the Underworld asked, seeing the huge prison which previously held the Legendary Golem,

"That is the greatest prison in the Underworld." the archdaemon answered, "It contained the god of Destruction... Now... can we please leave?" he trembled at the sight of the gate,

"Is he still in there?" the goddess asked as she neared the gate,

"WA-"

"Woah!" the goddess said as the door unlocked at her touch,

"Your Majesty!" the archdaemon screamed, "Get away fro-"

KLANK! The door opened,

"HUH!?" the goddess yelled as a huge black cloud emerged from the prison,

SCHWLEOM!

The cloud enveloped the goddesss and started to condense around her,

"Your Highness!" The Archdaemon watched in horror, "Help! Help!"

The dragons patrolling the area swooped down,

"AAHHH!" the goddess screamed from inside,

"RAH!" the dragons breathed fire on the cloud, but to no avail.

"AAHH!" the goddess screamed, and the cloud went inside her.

When it was all over, there stood the goddess, completely corrupted...

Hope you enjoy!

SM's Time!

I am so sorry I didn't explain this thoroughly, Chapters 2 and 3 are Special Chapters! They deal with the Divine Dragons' battle with the Legendary Golem Long ago! My bad! Please Forgive!

For Reviewer Martha:

I kinda explained the "God of Destruction" bit in RFA... The Legendary Golem is the god of Destruction. On your other questions... To tell you the truth... I don't like My Little Pony, at all. However, I love Doctor Who, but it would be hard for me to put something of that genre in here... So sorry. To finish, what do you mean by fan? Do you mean the reviewers here? Well, if that's the case, all of you are my favorites! I really thank all of you!

For Reviewer Jones: I hope the above answered your troubles, and yes, it will make more sense later on.
