The Storm-Bringer

"What a fiery day this was…" Ace said as he appeared in the Inner World.

"But now from a fiery battle to a battle in a hurricane. You now face… the Storm Bringer." Phantom Ace said.

The Gate then opened as Black Clouds and Thunderbolts raged out and engulfed the whole area. Ace then found himself standing in Devils Landing.

"So, you have finally come." A male voice said as Ace turned to see a red-eyed man with long blonde hair, some in braids wearing noble clothing, with pointed ears, along with a strange tattoo on his forehead. There was no weapon seen on him as only lightning surged from his palms.

"Are you the Storm Bringer?" Ace asked.

"That I am. My name is Tevarius, and I am here to test your strength." Tevarius said. "Be warned, for I am the Dark Incarnate of Eze, and my Magic shall descend upon you like a raging storm." he said as he levitated into the air. "Let's begin."

"Stampede Slash!" Ace called as he charged forward and dealt a horizontal cut.

Tevarius caught the slash with his bare hands and tossed Ace into the air. "Can you endure this? Arcing Lightning Dance!" he called as lightning formed around Ace and danced around him, electrocuting him.

"Gotta redirect the energy…!" Ace said equipping Drevas in the form of gauntlets. "Hammer of Might!" he called sending the lightning back down as a big ball of energy onto Tevarius.

Tevarius endured the attack as best he could, breaking through the assault. "Very impressive, but how about this?! Celestial's Fury!" he called as stars appeared in the sky and rained down a hammer of thunder and lightning onto Ace before it exploded. "That is the judgment of the stars."

"You're strong…" Ace said trying to stay upright after the assault.

"And you're quite resilient. But it will only take one more attack to finish you." Tevarius said. "My Finishing Strike! Heaven-Sundering Roar!" he called as the silhouette of a dragon appeared over him as he launched a large beam of lightning at Ace.

"I have no choice… lend me your full power, Lance!" Ace said summoning Drevas again as he glowed green. "The earth rumbles, and the wind rages. Finishing Strike...Gaia's Wrath!" he called jumping high into the air and coming back down as he slammed his fist into the ground as the earth began to rumble as it raged towards Tevarius and engulfed him.

"Well done. Your connection to the four cardinal elements is strong. With my defeat, you have gained a new power in the force of Lighting. You now have mastery over Fire, Ice, Earth, and Lightning. Your real challenge awaits you on your next visit, the Trial of Light and Darkness." Tevarius said. "There you will face the opposites to Atro and Magress."

"Who are they?" Ace asked.

"The opposite of Atro, is named the Holy Sword, Fina, as for Magress, his opposite is known as the Ebony Black Emperor, Regulus." Tevarius said.

"Fina… could it be…" Ace said left wondering as he gained a new form to Batootha. Before his eyes, it changed from an Axe, to a Javelin. "A spear, but the kind you use to throw long distances. This will come in handy."

The symbol representing Lightning on the gate lit up, as the elements of Fire, Ice, Earth, and Lightning formed lines and connected to each other, leaving only three darkened symbols remaining.
