Hey guys, Tehg here. After a mad writing session of Hdn I'm finally writing some for mda again. Now last time Solar had to fight Lon'qu. But I'll leave this here as I just wanna get right into this. Hey Owain I need you help again.

Owain: Busy…fighting…bandits…and they're dead. Ehem hark! Listen well adventurers of this tale, Tehg does not own anyone but his own creations. Everything else belongs to their respective creator!

Thanks Owain…You just continue whatever you were doing.

Chapter 10

5v5?

(Tehg's POV)

(Location: Ragnaferox)

Mostly everyone went inside with Chrom to speak with Flavia and Basilo to get back up. Solar and I opted to wait outside in the cold weather, to the surprise of Feroxi. I look over to Solar.

"Hey, sis? Since Lucina is with us, do you think Lon'qu will be the Champion?" She thinks for a moment before responding.

"Yup. I hope so too. I want a rematch" I pat her head.

"No can do, little sis. Next time he's mine!" I say, clenching my fist.

"You just want to fight the legendary Lon'qu, don't you?"

"Guilty as charged… I mean who wouldn't?" She stares at me.

"Anyone sane." I look to the ground as Chrom walks out and calls us in.

"Okay. So if we want help from Flavia, we have to get her the win to become the Khan of Ferox." I nod

"Five v five, right?" He nods. "I'll go talk with Robin." I walk off and find him reading a book while Lucina questions him. 'You're still in your Marth persona. Don't get too close.' Robin notices me and closes his book.

"Yes Tehg? How may I help you?"

"I came to help with planning since I know my group better, eh?" (I thought you were British, no Canadian) He nods in thanks, pulling a map of the arena out. I take a quick look at it. "With how small it is, no mounted units. So from the shepherds, I recommend Chrom, you and Marth. And from mine I nominate me and Tatsuya. Tatsuya will be the fire support." He nods taking the recommendation in.

"Yes, that may work…I must go make plans." the man says walking off.

"So, Cina." She looks at me strangely. "Firstly, it's a nickname. Secondly, if you want to get close to Robin, get rid of this." I take her mask off and hold it above her. She keeps jumping to get it, with no success. She brushes it but it falls out my hands and falls to the ground, smashing to pieces. "Oh, I'm sorry Cina, but I guess you can't hide what you are anymore?" She laughs slightly.

"Yes...I guess I can't." At that moment Chrom walks in and looks at the closeness of me and Lucina. "Oh, I'm sorry I'll give you…wait…TEHG YOUR'E A MARRIED MAN!" He shouts before I sigh.

"Don't worry, Chrom. It's nothing like that. This is what Marth really looks like. He is a she." I say spinning 'Marth' around to show what she looks like. He looks at Lucina.

"Tehg, so this is what Marth really looks like, eh? A little girl!? I feel so humiliated...more so than when I saw Solar fight Lon'qu." He says while I chuckle.

"Well, with Solar and me, we're divine beings, so that's why we're so skilled. Years of practice. 'But you would be surprised with who her parents are'" I say while muttering the last part, which catches Lucina off guard.

(Location updated: Feroxi arena)

(Play-brand new world- the asterisk war)

I walk into the fighting arena without my blade out, confusing Chrom.

"Tehg, don't you normally use a blade?" I nod.

"Yes, I do. But I have another method of fighting." I say, pulling the black talisman out. "CLEANSE!" I start. "PURIFY!" The symbols appear on my arm. "COME FORTH AT ONCE!" I scream, punching the ground, which summons the Kegare arm.

"I thought you said you were a divine being. If that is so, why the demonic arm?" I clench the fist.

"Well, it's a skill I got from a friend. He is the one who taught me how to do this." I say, not wishing to go into the details of my copying ability. He nods, drawing the falchion. I then look over to Lucina who draws her falchion. Chrom looks over in shock.

"How do you have a blade like that!?" She looks away from his gaze and runs into the fray. I take a quick second to talk to Tatsuya.

"So, you're on fire support. No need to show a feat of your magic, eh?" He nods, readying his pistols. The rest of us charge into the battle with Robin wielding a iron sword and thunder tome. I make a beeline strait for Lon'qu who is simply standing there.

"Hmm…You are my last opponent's older brother, correct?" I nod. "You normally wield a sword. Please draw your blade for an honorable duel." I comply and summon the Way Finder.

"As you wish Lon'qu of Chron'sin. I shall fight you in blade to blade combat." He shows a look of gratitude before steeling himself. I charge forward, clashing my sword against his Killing Edge.

(Robin's POV)

"Chrom, attack that fighter. I'll take the mercenary." I say, launching a ball of thunder from my tome, knocking the merc back. I put my tome away, draw my sword and rush him, but he counter attacks by thrusting for my knee. I jump above the blade and stab him in his sword arm's shoulder, rendering him unable to fight. Tatsuya...I think that's what Tehg called him, runs over.

"You are Chrom's tactician, correct?" He asks and I nod.

"Good. Where shall I move to for a better shot, tactician?" I take a moment to think.

"Are you able to shoot on the move?" He nods and I continue. "Then move and support whoever you think needs the support the most." He runs off to help Chrom. I continue to help Tehg with Lon'qu.

(Lon'qu's POV)

I see a man in a long coat come to help my opponent, so I speed to him and shove my hand into his chest.

"No, this fight is between us two swordsmen." The man nods in understanding, backing off and leaving me alone to my enemy in white.

(Tehg's POV)

Lon'qu takes his stance again and rushes me, thrusting his sword arm outwards while twisting his body as he spins and strikes me. I block it, putting us in a power struggle for a few moments before kicking back. We proceed into a series of clashes, launching shockwaves after each clash. The people watching from the audience are having to duck from the sheer power of the shockwaves. Well, except the ones from my group. They stand with their arms crossed, watching intently. We continue our strikes with each attack as unforgiving as the last. We separate after our last clash, we're both panting heavily. I decide to scan ourselves to see how close we are to the end.

[Lon'qu]. [Tehg]

[HP: 16 %]. [HP: 15%]

Huh, okay then.

"Lon'qu? Shall we stop holding back and finish this?" He nods, taking a different stance than before. I take a deep breath. "Defend…AND BLESS!" I finish, using the arm's second state for more power. We charge at a faster speed than before and go into a high speed clash fest, causing dust to form around the arena, covering us in basically a smoke screen. I can see fatigue showing on his face, but I can also feel it myself. I then feel a surge of power as it seems I got a critical. "I am too tired for this shit." I say moving too fast for him to react and disarm him while knocking him back across the arena into the wall.

(End song)

I fall to my knees with my hands on the ground keeping me from falling over. I'm gasping for air as my whole body burns with pain. I look over to the Kegare arm to see two talismans fall from it, yet the arm stays there. 'Oh no…' It turns pure yellow and the yellow spreads to my chest with tendril like things swirling off it. "GAUUUH IT BURNS!" I scream. punching the ground with the arm cracking it before passing out shortly.

(Solar's POV)

"BRO!" I scream, jumping from the audience down to the arena and over to him. When I get there I pick up the other seal that was created as his arm got like this. I then place it on it before closing my eyes and chant. "SEAL THE CORRUPTION!" The arm shrinks and Tehg's arm goes to normal…for now…

Hey guys, Tehg here. Thanks for reading. Now what happened to Tehgs arm? Well wait and find out next time…
