Hotel Manager:"Attention all semifinalists of the DBT the semi-finals have been postponed until tomorrow because of a storm that is on the way. The DBT comity excuses for the problems by giving another free night at the Hellerusk Hotel".

Max: "Well this sucks. What am I gonna do until tomorrow".

Renitsune: "I know I mean, we can`t train because it`s too dangerous to do it inside and water and fire don`t mix very well".

Max: "Yeah but there is one thing we could do".

Renitsune: "And what is that"?

Max: "Well you could tell me why you want those soul shards so bad".

Renitsune: "It is a long story that you probably wouldn`t find very interesting".

Max: "You're probably right but I`m bored so on with it".

Renitsune: "Fine but I take a long time".

Max: "Nah we have plenty of time".

Renitsune: "All right I will begin my tale:

At the beginning of time there was at first nothing. But then it was there. The Soul Stone. The Soul Stone created everything in the entire world first it used the power of Light to create light and the power of Dark to make Darkness. Then it used the power of Earth to create the planets. It then used the power of Fire to create heat and the power of Ice to create cold. It used the powers of Wood, Steel, Air, Thunder, and Water to make the planet what it is today. It then used the power of Life to create birds, mammals, fish, and everything that breathes. Lastly it used the power of Death to make sure that there always would be a balance between Life and Death. The stone set itself in the middle of the world that it had created. Later the stone created a new element known as Peace. However a greedy human named Grenadeel stole the crystal in an attempt to gain power. He made an armor that was could help him use the power of the stone. However the armor was made of metal which the wood part of the crystal repelled. He then made an armor of wood which the steel part of the Stone repelled. He then made an armor of all the other 13 elements. However he realized that no matter what the armor was made of another element would always repel it. So he smashed the stone into 13 different shards (therefore called soul shards) and made an armor of all 13 elements. The armor was made of 12 plates one for each shard. Grenadeel gathered an army and told them of how they would rule the world. In all the chaos Grenadeel managed to create 2 more Soul Shards those being Poison, and Chaos.Chaos reigned over the world, and Poison killed those that defied him. However in a last attempt to save the planet the stone created 15 Demons. 1 for each element. Light was a Pheonix, Dark was Dragon, Earth a Bison, Fire a Fox, Ice a Bear, Wood a Rat, Steel was a Living Armor, Air a Falcon, Thunder became a Roc, Water was made into Crab, Life was a Unicorn, Death a Mantis, Poison became a Cobra, Chaos was a Giant, and lastly Peace became a White Dove. A huge war broke out in of in which several of the demon`s where killed however after the battle the life shard brought them all back to life. The demons chose to hide the shards thinking that I had too much power and had to be locked away. As time passed the secret of the shards whereabouts died with the original demons. However they managed to breed and in time the world as we know it today was created. However 5 of the 13 shards have already been discovered and it is only a matter of time before the rest are found. That is why every demon tries to get their hands on the shards. Because either they want the stones power or the want to hide it from being misused. I myself want to find the stones so I can hide them.

Max: "Wow that was interesting".

Renitsune: "You really think so"

Max: "Yeah and more importantly I now know why you are so eager to find the shards" Max held a quick pause"I´ve decided that I will help you no matter what".

Renitsune: "You really mean it" Renitsune said with a voice full of hope.

Max: "Of course it's a promise".

On the time machine

Rex: "Hey Zoe what`s that around your neck".

Zoe: "Oh this I found it pretty neat huh". Zoe held up a pendnat withsmall light blue stone inside it.

Rex: "Looks nice. I think it`s an Aquamarine. Ya think Max will like it"?

Zoe: "I hope so" Zoe said with a nervous tone as she began to blush.

Rex:"Hey look were here now so now we can get Max"

Zoe: "Yay".

Back at the hotel

Renitsune: "How about your friends can`t you tell me about them"?

Max: "Sure. There Rex he`s my best friend and he is also quite smart. Then there`s Ed and well you can`t really say much about him besides he`s funny. Then there`s Zander and believe me when I tell you that no one uses more time on his hair then he does. There`s Dr. Z but I wouldn`t call him my friend. Then there`s the old lady.

Ursula: "Who just called me old"!

Max: "And then there`s Zoe and well Zoe is Zoe.

Renitsune: "Is she your girlfriend".

Max: "N-n-no" Max stuttered.

Renitsune: "But you wish that she was right".

Max: "No"!

Renitsune: "Max I can read your thoughts and your thinking yes".

Max: "Fine yes are you happy now"!

Renitsune: "Yes".

Later that day

Max: "I´m hungry let's get something to eat".

Max walked down the hall and suddenly felt that someone he knew was nearby.

Renitsune: "Max what`s wrong".

Max: "I felt something. It felt like someone I know is somewhere nearby".

Renitsune: "Are you sure"

Max: "Yes. It felt like they had just entered the building".

Max walked down to the Lobby. He hid behind the wall and saw Zoe, Rex, Dr. Z, Ed, Zander and Ursula enter the hotel. Max was just about to run down and beat the living hell out of them because they had forgotten him when Renitsune stopped him.

Renitsune: "Max look at that girl".

Max looks at Zoe: "Yeah what about her" Max began to blush.

Renitsune: "She`s wearing the Soul Shard of Ice look".

Max looked and he saw the Shard hanging just around her neck in a tight necklace.

Max: "That's a Soul Shard"?

Renitsune:"Yes".

Max:"In your story they seemed bigger. But anyway how does she have it"?

Renitsune: "Max I have no idea how she got I`m still getting over the fact that that guy has that crazy hair style. But anyway we need it".

Max: "Yeah hey i just realized. Why don`t they have a soul spirit"?

Renitsune: "Their soul spirits probably don`t want to be seen. We can choose to do that. But you have to go down and get that Shard".

Max: "Alright maybe I can even beat Rex up a little while I'm at it".

In the lobby

Rex: "Kan we have 3 double rooms please".

Receptionist: "I`m sorry all we have is 2 double rooms and a single room".

Rex: "We`ll take that".

Zoe: "What! But we are 6 people and two doubles and one single only means that there`s room for 5.

Rex: "Well one of will have to surrender and sleep on the floor"

Zoe:"Not it".

Ed:" Not it".

Zander:" Not it".

Ursula:" Not it".

Dr. Z:" Not it".

Rex: "Not damn".

?: "Don`t worry Rex you can have my room".

Everyone looks up

Ed: "Max. What the heck happened to you"!

Zoe gives Max a hug: "I missed you Max".

Max blushes: "S-s-so did I".

Zoe looks up and to see everyone staring wierdly at her and she begins to blush.

Rex: "Anyway what happend to you".

Max gives a recap of what has happened

Rex: "So this tail is real". Rex tugs Max`s tail.

Max: "Yes and that hurts" Max growled at him!

Zoe: "So this necklace is really a Shard".

Max:" Yes".

Zoe:"Well in that case here".

Zoe throws the Shard over to Max.

Max catches it and suddenly Renitsune appears in her materialized form.

Renitsune:" I thank you for this shard"

Rex: "So that's Renitsune." Rex thinks" I wonder if my soul spirit is even half as cool".

Max: "Wait are you finally out of my body"?

Renitsune: "Yes but i can only do for 5 minutes a day".

Max: "Damn".

Renitsune: "I now i will channel it`s power threw me".

A light appeared around her and Max as she slowly fused with him again. Max closed his eyes and felt an enormous amount of power running threw him".

Max opened his eyes.

Everyone looked astonished.

Max: "What"?

Zander: "Well you have a bear tattoo on your arm and you know have 2 tails".

Max:"Really, awesome". Max yawned "well it`s been a long day lets all go to sleep now right".

Everyone agrees

Rex: "Wait where short on a room".

Max: "Oh yeah well then I´ll sleep on the floor".

To be continued

A note from the writer so everybody Max finally got a Shard. And that is not the first one. Many more Shards await him but I will tell you that before he gets another shard there will be a romance chapter between him and Zoe and another battle chapter.
