Chapter 10

Chosen Champion?

Things were not looking good for the Lone Wolf Terry Bogard or his traveling companions. Why would anyone ask? It is because they were fighting for their lives against a horde of goblins and became even worse when they summoned ogres to the battle.

"This is getting out of hand! Don't you or that other magician know any teleportation spells?" Genie asked as she blocked a sword slash from one of the goblins and countered back with one of her own.

"I don't know any and neither do's Louie. We are going to have to hold on until I can clear us a way out." Terry replied as ducked a wild swing from an enemy's club and delivered a mean uppercut in return sending said enemy flying.

"What the hell kind of magicians are you two if you don't know any teleportation spells?" Merrill shouted as threw daggers to cover Melissa and the others back from any of the inhuman monsters who had throwing weapons.

"You didn't even ask us since you wanted to get her so badly!" Louie yelled back not taking his eyes off his enemy's and delivered a fireball to scatter them apart.

"Don't you have any items that could help us escape?" Melissa asked as she knocked down one goblin with her war hammer looking to find an exit for them to escape.

"I wish I did, but I wasn't expecting this many goblins to come after us." Terry's disciple said and then delivered a nasty right hook to one goblin that was attempting to take his head off with an axe.

"We're goanna die and I'm not even rich yet!" The young thief cried out not liking the outcome of this.

Terry knew that was the least of their concern especially with two giant ogres trying to flatten them like pancakes. He needed to give everyone a breather and he needed it fast.

Suddenly one of the giant behemoths let out a roar and swung its instrument of death down at the group, causing them to scatter avoiding death. Rolling to the side Terry looked up at the overgrown bruiser seeing it trying to pull its weapon out of the ground which had inadvertently got stuck. It soon growled causing the giant to look up, with the displaced Earthling following its gaze.

The ceiling was starting to crumble under the intense fighting that the ogres were causing from the tremors were causing, along with the two groups trying to kill each other.

This gave Terry an idea on how to end this. It was a risky plane but he knew it was this or be overwhelmed by a horde of monsters. And he could tell the three females were getting exhausted from the seemingly endless horde. Then he saw the second ogre making its way over to the others slowly with the intent of making them suffer.

Decision finalized the brother of Andy Bogard began powering up his strongest attack to end the battle before him.

Carwes step-son saw that his sensei was beginning to unleash something big and wondered what was going to happen. He then saw the two ogres making their way toward him and raced over to help him out.

He then got his answer to what his master was planning when he called out to him.

"Louie?"

"Yes?"

"Duck and cover."

Louie became alarmed when he heard those words from his master. He then called out to the others as he ran for cover.

"Incoming!"

The female trio responded the only intelligent thing that came to mind.

"Huh?"

That was when they saw the Lone Wolf covered in a strange energy and left off his signature ultimate technique.

"POWWWWWWEERRRRRRR GEYSER!"

BOOM!

The two ogres didn't know what hit them as they were engulfed by a wave of pure and powerful Ki attack that sent them falling on their backs.

However Terry's target was not the two behemoth's but rather the roof as the Power Geyser reached its peak and hit the ceiling causing it to fall on top of not only the two giants but the goblins that were behind them as well.

As for Louie and the others they managed to find cover behind a giant stone slab. Melissa casted a shielding spells to be on the safe side in case any part of the ceiling fell toward them.

The inhuman warriors however were not as fortunate as many of them were crushed under the ruble and the rest retreated back into the darkest part of the rune. As for the ogres they were buried and were not getting up anytime soon.

Terry looked around to see if there where anymore of the goblins that he had missed. Finding none he called out to the others.

"You can come out now. Those two will not be getting up and the rest of those guys are gone."

Melissa and her friends slowly came out, carefully looking around to see if there were anymore goblins and avoid any holes that were made from the Lone Wolf's attack. Louie came up next from behind them.

Terry made his way over to the group and noticed that Genie and Merrill was not the least bit happy as they glared at him.

"Do you two have something to say to me?"

Genie was the first to speak as she made her displeasure known.

"What kind of an idiot are you? Are you trying to kill us?"

"We could have been crushed, and no thanks to you the treasure is probably buried under all that rubble!" The young thief added as she wasn't happy with what Louie's master did to save them.

"What is more important? The treasure or your life, because honestly I prefer to live than dies like some greedy fool!" Terry shouted back as he couldn't believe this woman. And he thought Ryuji Yamazaki was money hungry.

It was then that the student of the Lone Wolf spoke up that caught the group's attention.

"Hey guys you don't need to worry about the treasure I made sure to keep it safe."

Everyone turned to look toward Louie who was gesturing over for everyone to follow him, in which they did. When they reached the destination they saw that the stone chest was covered by a glowing blue light.

"When did this happen?" The Mylee Priestess asked as she didn't see this earlier when they entered or during the battle.

"I casted a spell during the fight when none of the goblins were looking or paying attention to what I was doing to be on the safe side in case something like this happened."

"Good thinking Louie." His master commented at his quick thinking.

"Well then undo the spell so we can open it up." The red haired swordswoman insisted as she wanted to get out of this place as soon as possible.

"Yeah, yeah keep you skirt on will you." The blue haired magician waved his hand at her knowing what he needed to do. When he went to his belt for his wand he realized that it was missing! Looking down he kept checking himself to see where it was but couldn't find it.

"Louie what's wrong?" His master asked.

"I can't find my wand! I must have dropped it during the fight with those goblins."

"How could you of lost it you moron!" Merrill shirked as she couldn't believe the clumsiness of this guy.

"Hey shut up midget! I was busy watching your back, along with the others since things were getting out of hand." He retorted back at the brunette.

"Knock it off right now! Both of you! Let's just start looking for the wand so that way we can get out of here fast." Terry ordered as the last thing they needed was a pointless argument on whose fault it was.

It was then the group heard Melissa call over to them and they looked over to where she was standing.

"Louie I found it! It was under this rubble."

The blonde priestess held it up for all to see much to everyone's relief. They started making their way toward her, but that was when Louie heard a strange sound. Looking up his eyes widen as he saw a piece of the ceiling starting to crumble and Melissa was underneath it!

"Melissa look out!"

Louie rushed past everyone running toward the shocked priestess, and then heard a loud sound. Looking up everyone saw the broken piece fall toward her.

Melissa screamed and frozen in shock at seeing the giant stone coming toward her, causing her to reflexively hold her hands up dropping Louie's wand.

The blue haired magician scooped her up in his arms bridal style and leaped away from where they were a moment ago, with Melissa avoiding death.

After the noise settles down and the dust cleared their comrades ran up to them with the Lone Wolf a head. They stop in front of Louie who was setting Melissa down, who was a bit shaken.

"Are you two all right?" Andy's brother asked.

"We're fine bro, so no big worries." His student reassured as he dusted himself off and looked over to the Mylee Priestess.

"How about you, you're not hurt right?"

"I...I'm fine, thank you f...for asking me." The Mylee Priestess replied and then realized that something was missing that she had found earlier.

"Oh no the wand! I must have dropped it!"

This caused Louie to become shocked and quickly ran over to where Melissa was moments before the ceiling fell. He began digging through the rubble hoping to find it. Moving the last piece of stone he found it, only to let out an upset shout of anger.

"Damn it!"

Everyone wondered what had happened and they got their answer as Louie turned around and held up the broken remains of his wand.

"What about the spell that is holding it? Can you still undo it without using the wand?" Genie asked him as she didn't want this quest to be all for nothing.

"No I need my wand as a medium in order to cast spell's, but it's pointless since my wand is what was keeping the spell going for protecting the treasure so it will be broken soon."

True to Louie's word there was a brief flash of light that caught everyone's attention. It ended showing the stone chest untouched as if the battle never started.

"Well let's check this baby out and see what's inside." Louie said.

Everyone went over to the stone chest anxiously awaiting to see what was inside and hoping it was worth the trouble of going through.

When they got to it Terry stood to one side of the chest, while Genie took the other side of it. Looking at the Lone Wolf she decided to give out some last minute orders at this was the last time they would work together.

"On the count of three we lift at the same time."

"You got it Genie. I just hope this was worth all the trouble."

She nodded and both prepared to open it with her starting the count.

"Ready...one...two...three!"

Both hefted up the stone slab, setting it down to the end of the chest. Melissa and the others who were standing away from the two went over and all of them looked into the stone chest.

What they saw caused their excitement to drop to disappointment as in the chest were just three bags and a scroll. Louie was the first to show how disappointed he was.

"This is it? This is what we came for?" He couldn't believe it and wanted to find a goblin to beat the crap out of for what they found.

"For once I agree with you." Merrill said in a depressed voice as she was hoping to see dozen's of gold coins and hopefully a couple of rare gems. Instead there were three bags and a measly scroll that was ether for a magic spell or some lost relic that contained history of the runes they were in.

"Let's look inside the bags; maybe they might have something of value." Genie replied as she was hoping whatever was in them were worth something.

"I guess Louie and I will take the scroll since it might contain some magic." He then mentally added, (Hopefully it will contain a clue on how I can get back home.)

"I'll take one bag, Genie you take the other and Merrill you take the last." Melissa instructed as she wanted to leave take a series bath soon.

Each woman took a bag while Terry took the scroll opening it and looking at its contents. He saw an old drawing of what looked like a machine and it had inscriptions that he couldn't understand.

(I better have Ila look into this when we get back.)

Louie looked over Terry's shoulder and wondered what it was as well, then looked over to the others and asked, "So what's in the bags?"

The red haired swordswoman reached in and pulled out a few gold coins indicating there was gold in her bag.

The blonde priestess held out some silver pieces showing its contents.

As for the young burnet she got an excited gleam in her eyes as she proudly held out a small blue diamond showing what she had.

"Looks like we got a good hall everyone and it's about time!" The young thief excitedly said as she couldn't wait to get the tax payers off her back.

"Do you mind if I take a look at that gem?" Terry asked as he wanted to make sure it was worth more than by how it looked.

"What? No way! You already have your share of the treasure!" The young thief stated and kept the bag to herself in a protective grip.

The displaced Earthling gave her an annoyed look. Here he was trying to be nice and simply wanted to look but this greedy moron wouldn't even let him explain why he wanted to look.

"Just let him look at the stupid diamond will you? Maybe it's not worth as much as it looks." Ila's friend said as he didn't understand this woman's problem.

"Yeah right like he would be able to tell how valuable it is."

"I'm only asking to look at one, not the whole bag. And it's the same with Genie and Melissa's." Terry was getting tired of this and just wanted to make sure that these three didn't walk away with something worthless.

Before anyone else could speak a rumbling sound was heard causing the group to turn toward the sound. They saw the ruble were the ogres were buried begin to shift, slowly rising from them.

"Let's get out of here and quick!" The Lone Wolf stated.

Needing not to be told a second time they ran out toward the door they came from only to see it blocked by pieces of broken stone.

"Now what do we do?" Melissa asked as she did not have enough mana reserves to fight the ogres again.

"This way guys, I see an exit!" Louie said pointing toward an opening near a wall.

"Are you crazy there might be goblins in there?" Genie argued.

"We need to take a chance or would you rather deal with two VERY angry ogres right now?" He questions her.

Looking over to where the two giant monsters were raising from the ruble the women decided that it was more important to escape rather than deal with two angry behemoths.

Decision finalized the group quickly ran toward to the hole and left the scene just as the ogres got out looking for their prey, only to no longer find them there.

A while later...

Terry and the others managed to find their way out of the runes. They were tired and hungry from the small quest they had. As they left through the cave which was an emergency exit to the people who once lived there, they saw that the sun was setting.

"Man what I wouldn't give for a nice giant steak right now." Louie said as they finally came out and was resting for a bit.

"We can eat after we have a small break. It looks like we will be camping out tonight." Andy's brother said to his student.

"We shouldn't have to camp out like this!" The Mylee Priestess whined as she wanted to get back to the temple soon to perform her sacred ritual of revealing and have her chosen champion.

"Everyone needs to rest Melissa. Because right now it's too risky to travel since it will be night soon." Terry told the priestess as he was checking over himself for wounds from their battle with the goblins.

"Maybe if you two actually had a spell that could get us home early instead of being stuck out here we wouldn't need to be sitting around like this!" Genie argued. As much as she was used to sleeping outdoors even she enjoyed sleeping in a warm bed now and then.

"Look the goblins won't be coming after us anytime soon after nearly getting blown to bits by us so chill out. Why are you in such a hurry anyway? Is it because of Melissa's ritual tomorrow?" The Lone Wolf asked the swordswoman.

"It's because unlike you two we have debt's to pay and you aren't on the most wanted list!" Merrill spat out tired of hearing them.

Louie who had been sitting quietly trying to relax was just about getting tired of these two whining and acting like their needs were more important than anything else. With that thought he decided to get a say in as he wanted to rest up before they continued home.

"Oh will you two just shut up! Ever since this whole adventure started all I hear is you two bitching and moaning about every little thing that has happened. We'll get home soon when we've got enough rest so just drop it."

This caused the two females of the group to glare at the step-son of Carwes and they looked about ready to jump him from his outburst.

Louie saw this but paid it no mind and decided to remind them of another thing he said when they were in the runes.

"Let me remind you two that you never bothered to ask me or my bro if we knew any teleportation magic or if we had any magical items that could take us back to Ohfun. Don't snap at us because things don't turn out the way you wanted them to."

"Quit thinking that you are some hot shot adventure because of your magic. Without it you would be just some second rate adventure, you and your master!" The red haired swordswoman said not like being scolded like a child from someone she considered a simple brawler.

The Lone Wolf decided to end this argument by letting lose his battle aura causing the three to stop in their arguing. Melissa who was quiet throughout the arguing felt the enormous amount of power that was radiating off of the blond warrior.

(What sort of power is this? It doesn't feel anything like any sort of spiritual power I've ever felt before.) She thought to herself as it both amazing and freighting at the same time to her.

She then saw that he was powering down as he had everyone's attention.

He had on a calm yet stern look as he addressed the two in a no nonsense tone, "Genie and Merrill. While I understand you wanting to return back to Ohfun as soon as possible, there are two things you two need to take into account."

"What would that be Mr. Bogard?" Melissa asked as she was silent the whole time and didn't want any more violence to happen.

"For one thing they forget that you Melissa are also a MAGIC user and as such need as much rest from today's event. I know that casting healing and defensive spells can be very taxing to one such as you."

"So what's your point?" The young thief asked irritated wanting to know what this had to do with their current situation.

"My point is you two are considering that Louie and I wouldn't be able to survive without magic. If you really think that then perhaps Melissa should stop accompanying you two since without magic as she would be nothing without it." He replied calmly to her.

This caused both of them to realize that they unintentionally insult their friend and her ability's.

Seeing this Terry nodded and continued.

"The second thing you should consider is that we are now in a different part of the forest and if we were to just wonder off we would could ether wine up running into more goblins or wild animals that roam the forest at night. You also have to consider that we could wind up getting lost for days or even weeks."

That caused all three of the women present to pale in realization as they never took into account what would happen if they wound up in a different part of the forest.

The student of Tung Fu Rue saw the worry in them and decided to ease it by asking both Melissa and Louie another question.

"Louie do you or Melissa know any tracking spells that could help us return to Ohfun?"

Melissa shook her head negatively showing she didn't. She turned to Louie who was thinking over before snapped his fingers and then nodded.

"I don't have any tracking spells but I have something that works just as well as one."

The blue haired magician went over to his backpack and looked through it. He found what he was looking and held it up for the others to see.

"What is that?" Melissa asked as she saw that it looked to be a plain silver ring.

"This is a tracking ring Melissa. I just have to focus my mana into it and it will guide me on where I want to go or someone I want to find."

He explained to the priestess.

"Why didn't you tell us you had one?" Merrill asked after she found her voice from seeing what the Lone Wolf did.

"You didn't ask." Louie simply replied which caused her to face fault.

"How will you be able to tell it will lead us in the right direction?"

The Mylee priestess asked.

"When I hold it out in front of me it will change color to let me know where I'm going. Red will indicate it's the wrong path. However if it is Blue it is the right path I'm taking."

"Well then use it and let's head back already." Genie said wanting to get home soon rather than stay with these two longer.

"Yeah yeah I'm on it already, geez keep your top on." He said annoyed by the short tempered woman.

Focusing his energy into the ring, he began to concentrate on who came to mind. Thinking on his friend Ila Louie opened his eyes and held the ring out in front of him. To his luck it turned blue indicating on where to go.

"It looks like we head this way out of the forest."

"Well then let's head in that direction to leave this place." Terry said as he gestured for everyone to follow him before speaking to Louie.

"Louie since you have more mana reserves you will take the lead, while Genie and Merrill watch your back. Melissa and I will be at the end."

"Why don't you just have him give Melissa the ring?" Merrill asked as she felt it would be better if her friend had it.

"Melissa doesn't have enough mana to use the ring fully that's why." Terry simply said to the young thief.

"That's a load of crap!" Genie snapped as she couldn't believe the audacity of this man.

Terry looked at her and replied, "Why would I lie about something as serious as this?"

"You probably making it up and think she is too frail to do something like lead us back because she's a woman." The short tempered swordswoman accused.

"Is that what you believe Terry?" The Mylee priestess asked since she did take offense to what he simply stated to her friend.

This caused Terry to narrow his eyes at Genie as he didn't like her attitude toward him and thought of him being a chauvinist. He knew from experience never to underestimate a woman as he knew a lot of tough women from his world. There was Andy's fiancée Mai, Blue Mary, and Heidern adopted daughter Leona who was a part of the Ikari Warriors, and even the psychic pop star Athena Asamiya.

"Now why would I think that Melissa's too frail because she's a woman?"

"Men are all the same! Women have to work TWICE as hard, just to get HALF the respect that men do!"

"If I really thought that way, then I would have refused to go along with you three women from the start! Don't lump me in with any you've met before. I happen to know some female fighters who could chew you up and spit you out in a heartbeat! They DEFININETLY got my respect. As for you and all your complaints and insults, you're just BARELY tolerable."

"Why you...!" She began reaching for her sword.

"What? You want me to toss you on your backside again? What's that going to accomplish? Nothing! So unless you've got something relevant to say, then I suggest you shut up and let my student do his job!"

Genie growled but kept her silence since deep down; she knew she didn't have the ability to beat him...for now.

He then turned his attention toward the blonde priestess.

"Melissa, whether you believe me or not I am able to tell who has enough mana reserves and I know from that battle we had with the ogres and goblins that the healing spells you know were very taxing to your body since they are no easy feat along with the defensive spells you know."

This was true as Terry learned from his stay at the guild and during his travels of this new world he was able to develop his sense's better and learn how to judge a person's magical aura.

As for Melissa while she didn't want to admit it her body did feel very taxed from the spells she casted and wanted to rest for a while but was worried she would miss her sacred ritual of revealing.

"Hey guys can we go now? Besides I think we should travel for a bit and then take a small break and then we can make it back to Ohfun in no time." Louie suggested as he wanted to get back soon to study the scroll.

The Mylee Priestess decided that they could use a small break and made it known.

"Genie, Merrill lets go for a bit and then rest. Truth is I'm rather tired and wouldn't mind resting for a while."

Both of Melissa's companions didn't like the idea of staying with these two any longer but they figure they let them have their way for now and they wouldn't have to deal with them anymore. Sighing both of them nodded.

"Fine lead the way if you can." The young burnet said in a tired voice.

"Well then let's go." The student of the Lone Wolf said as he started off in the direction of where the ring pointed.

As the group began following the blue haired magician, the older brother of Andy Bogard began to think back on when he first meet Phacia and her prophecy concerning him and Louie. There was also the question on who was it that wanted to bring back the Orochi to bring destruction to his world and this world.

(I can only hope it's not that bastard Goenitz. He is the last guy I want to deal with.)

Meanwhile...

Somewhere on a remote island far from Ohfun the wizard Vergil was reading over an old book that dated back to ancient times and that of the machine he and his students worked on from a year ago.

Currently he was in his studying room trying to figure out a way to reactivate the machine that had brought an unexpected guest.

"How go's your research Vergil?"

The aged wizard became startled by the person in question and turned to see him standing from the entrance to his room.

"Oh Mr. Leopold you startled me a bit, I didn't hear you come in. Did you need something?"

"Not really, just wanted to know if you made any head way on the artifact that brought me to your world."

The aged wizard sighed as he could only guess that the man before him wish to return home.

"I have made a few discoveries on how to make it open the gateway to your world, but there are still a few key items needed to make it work where you can safely travel back without killing you."

"Take your time then, but just remember that I can help out as well in case you need it." The displaced Earthling suggested to him.

"I will keep that in mind. I never knew you had such mastery over wind magic like that when those bandits had attacked us before."

This had happen a few months ago when Goenitz had recovered from his injuries that the temple was attacked by a large group of roughed swordsmen lead by a wizard. Vergil and his students had a hard time since some of the swordsmen had magical blades and the wizard they had had a powerful staff. They would of died had Goenitz not enter the battle and killed the wizard and a few of his soldiers.

"It was nothing, but you forget I know nothing of magic since the powers from my world are different than yours."

"Yes and from what you told me of your world is unbelievable. I am still amazed from what you told me."

During his stay with Vergil and his students Goenitz had shared what he knew about his world to them and of the different machinery's that were used in a daily bases. He also told them about other fighters like himself that could use special ability's like him.

"Hopefully with your permission I would to tell King Bradley about you and make a request to travel to this other world. We just need a specific crystal to make the machine work again."

"What short of crystal would that be?"

"It is called a Blue Dragon's Eye, but it is said to be guarded by a fierce hydra that lives within the lands of Arctica."

"Do you know where this place is by chance?" The displaced Earthling asked.

"It is about a month's worth of travel from here, but the fastest way would be to fly and it would take only three days." He replied to him.

It was then Goenitz shared his thoughts with the aged wizard.

"Perhaps I should go to where the crystal is since I can fly at will."

This shocked the age wizard as he hadn't expected this from the man who looked like a priest.

"It is rather dangerous to travel alone there. Are you sure you wouldn't mind waiting for me to contact some people I know from the Magic Guild of Ohfun?"

The middle aged man waved off his concerns and replied, "I rather earn my keep and you forget that I am a warrior from my world."

The aged wizard nodded at this as he found out that Leopold was a warrior after he questioned him about his ability with wind, though the displaced Earthling was hiding some things. Some of the students wanted to know more especially about the Four Heavenly Kings group when he said he was one of them, but Vergil reminded his students that if he felt ready to tell more about himself than he would as it must have been considered a sacred guild he served with laws of their own.

"If that is how you feel than head down to the library. I am sure one of my students can show you the map of its location."

Goenitz nodded his thanks and left the old man to his business. When he was out of ear shot, Vergil looked to his right and spoke out to no one in particular.

"And how long have you been hiding there Sarah?"

A small epped sound was heard and a glow started to show revealing a hooded figure. Lowering the hood of her rob, the one called Sarah had black hair tied in twin pig tails, and had brown eyes. She also had a few freckles on her face. She replied nervously to her master.

"A little while master Vergil. I heard everything you two were talking about and to be honest I don't fully trust him."

Vergil sighed as over the last few months his newest student was very wary about Leopold and she had stated a few times to him in private that she didn't fully trust him and even suggested he was hiding something from everyone.

"Sarah we have been through this many times now. I do not believe that Goenitz would have an ulterior motive and would be using us for any ill purposes."

"But master how can you trust a total stranger we hardly know anything about? For all we know he could be lying about some of the things he told us." She argued to her master.

"Sarah did he not add us in our time of need when those bandits attacked us? There were also a few times that he saved a few of your class mates from accidents that had occurred during his stay."

The young girl slowly nodded to her teacher as she did remember those few times her class mates were saved. Even she was saved by him once.

The aged wizard nodded and then said, "I understand that you are wary about him since he is from another world that is far different from ours and he is an outsider but you shouldn't just pass judgment without fully getting to know him first. All he would like is to return home and I am sure we can find out more about the world he lives in."

"But master..." The young female wizard began but was cut off.

"Now, now no more buts, you should be working on your studies since we will be returning soon to Ohfun. I don't want you falling behind in class since this trip started."

She nodded and then gave a small bow before leaving her master. While she was heading back to her room her thoughts went back to the discussing her master had with the outsider. Truth be told she didn't fully trust him and even thought that a few of the accidents were caused by him as a way to earn the trust of her class mates and teacher. The problem was she didn't have any proof but on a few occasions she did hear him speak about something called the Orochi and how this world would benefit in creating a new world by wiping out the arrogant fools of his world.

She wanted to tell her master and friends but feared that they would tell him of her fears and that just didn't sit well. Another thing is she could tell by the look in his eyes that he was not entirely honest about the things he said.

(I can only hope I'm wrong and that nothing terrible happens to me or my friends, along with Master Vergil.) She silently said to herself as she continued on to her room.

With Goenitz...

The Hakkesshu of the Wind was currently looking over the map on where to find the crystal that was needed for the ancient relic that brought him to this world.

True to Sarah's word Goenitz had been behind a few of the accidents that had happened during his stay with the group of wizards. He had to carefully plane his traps on the unsuspecting students and strike when they least expected it.

When he first came to this world of magic his mind boggled on the many wonders and ability's and had sought to use whatever he could to revive the Orochi and have his revenge against those who had thwarted his plans. His eyes narrowed as he thought of the three that had defeated him and cursed them for his misfortune.

(Before I can get my revenge on all of them, I will need allies to add me in my quest for revenge. And I have just the thing to get what I need.)

Looking over another book the blue eyed Hakkesshu was looking over spell. During his stay he had been secretly studying magic without the elder wizard's knowledge or that of his students. He had witnessed how they performed them and what was needed. He had done a few tweaks and had managed to figure out the needed amount of power needed.

The spell he was looking over was a special resurrecting spell that could revive the dead and gave the user the ability to control them. It was a dark and forbidding art that was only used during times of war and if there were no other choice in the matter, but he could care less as he considered those that had saved him expendable.

(That old fool Vergil should have known better than to trust me off the bat. Once I'm able to get to my world I will have the help I need and then Kyo Kusanagi you, Iori and that mirror bitch will pay.)

He thought back to when he was defeated by those three.

Flashback...

"I guess I underestimated you. I never thought...I would lose."

He then glared at the three that dared to interfere with his ambitions in defiance.

"But this isn't the end for you!"

With those words he let loose a blast of wind in a last ditch effort to escape or kill all three of them, but they evaded the blast. Then to the Hakkesshu's surprise and horror Iori Yagami had the same crimson flame as Kyo and both let loose their ultimate techniques.

"OROCHI NAGI!"

"YA SAKAZUKI!"

Both attacks collided and the results were devastating.

BOOOOM!

The attack sent Goenitz flying, making him slam into the ground back first. He looked up in pain to see the heir to the Yata Mirror stand above him and then spoke to his in disdain.

"It is over for you Leopold Goenitz. Your plane to kill me and the others has failed along with your two assistance Vice and Mature trying to manipulate Iori and you murdered my sister. And now you will know true pain and suffering as I seal you away for eternity."

With these words she summoned her clans mirror and began invoking chants that a Shinto priest would use to sealing away a demon. This caused the man who was one of the Four Heavenly Kings to panic and tried to summon another wind to make him escape from her but it was too late and he was sent into darkness.

End of flashback...

He shuddered as he remembered the cold and unforgiving feeling of being placed into eternal darkness and he had no idea how long he was sealed away for.

It was due to his luck that when Vergil first tested out the sacred ring the aged wizard had unintentionally caused a disruption to both worlds which caused them to pull the Hakkesshu into this world of magic at a different time a year before Terry Bogard.

Shaking his head he went back to studying over the map and nodded as he planned on what to bring and were to find the stones needed for the spell he had in mind.

Back in Ohfun...

"Man is it good to be back home." Louie sighed as he was glad to have made it back around nightfall.

"On that note I will agree with you, but I honestly wish this could have turned out better." Terry said as he was disappointed about the quest.

They had made it back to Ohfun in time parting ways with Melissa and her group. The Lone Wolf had offered once more to have a look at the treasures they found to make sure they were in good quality. But to his annoyance Melissa's friend Merrill wanted nothing more to do with him and Louie and made it known to them.

Flashback...

"Are you SURE don't want me to have a look at your treasure?" Andy's older brother asked the group as they were in the city of Ohfun.

Merrill scoffed at his request. "Yeah right! Like you're an expert on how to appraise treasure! You probably want a cut!"

Terry shook his head.

"No I don't. But I think you might want to..."

He was cut off by the irate thief.

"The adventure is over and we don't need you anymore! Goodbye!"

After three leave, Terry shrugged his shoulders and rejoined Louie.

"Well, that could have gone a lot better." His disciple commented.

"Yeah, well I guess they'll have to find out for themselves how worthless their haul was."

"Worthless? I thought they came out pretty good with all those gems, gold, and silver."

"You mean old quartz, fool's gold and cheap silver plating."

"How could you tell?" He questioned his sensei.

"I've been around a lot of quarries and construction jobs to know enough about minerals and metals. Those 'gems' had a few scratches on them. Diamonds and real gems are a LOT harder and don't scratch that easily. That 'gold' Genie had glittered WAY too much and seemed pretty light and brittle. Real gold is soft and is a lot heavier. It also doesn't reflect as much in its natural state. It only sparkles after it has been polished. I noticed those 'silver' artifacts of Melissa's to be worn in some places and saw some other metal underneath. That's a sure giveaway that only the top layer is coated with a sliver-like metal and the rest is probably some cheap junk."

"Whoa. You sure know a lot. I wouldn't have noticed stuff like that."

Terry waves it off. "It's just some stuff I picked up at my part-time jobs."

"So why was it so carefully-guarded if it was useless junk?"

"My guess is that the 'treasure' was to fool any robbers into taking it and leaving the real prize behind."

"You mean the scroll?"

Terry nodded as he held up the rolled parchment. He wondered what Ila was going to say once she researched it.

End of Flashback...

So the two were now at the Laughing Swan waiting for Ila and the others to meet with them after dropping the scroll off earlier as she was currently going over her study's. They didn't have to wait long as she came along with Kika, Thomas, and Edward.

"How did the adventure go for you and Louie sensei?" Edward asked his friend as he was hoping they had found an ancient relic they could study.

"It could have gone better but we didn't find what we were looking for." He told his student in a depressed voice.

His students saw this and they were worried for their master. Hoping to get him out of his depression Kika tried to lighten the mood.

"We'll look on the bright side of things master. You found a clue to help you find your way home and it's better than nothing right?"

This did help lift Terry's spirit a bit as he nodded and turned to Ila. "So what exactly did that scroll we found tell about anyway? I couldn't understand the writing and the drawing on it looked like some kind of giant stone ring."

Louie's friend smiled indicating she had good news.

"You're in luck Terry. The scroll you and Louie found is to an ancient relic known as a Spirit Gate."

"What is a Spirit Gate?"

"It goes back to the time of the Old Magical Kingdom. Many have used it in order to see across the world and lands they never discovered. It was even said that during those times they were able to summon anything from those gates."

"I take it there is more good news to this." Andy's older brother asked.

The red-haired beauty nodded. "My father was able to find a piece of the Spirit Ring and it will be here in three days time."

"That's great news!" Edward looked toward his master with a large smile. "Did you hear that sensei? You're almost on your way back home."

Everyone was happy to hear this except one person which was the step-son of Carwes. Though it had only been six months Louie had considered Terry as the brother he always wanted and wished to learn a lot of the things he learned. Truthfully he wanted him to stay in his world but he knew that would be selfish and both he and Kika learned over the six month training journey that he had a family to return to.

It was then that Louie decided to ask a question.

"Hey Ila exactly how many more pieces do we need for the Spirit Ring?"

Ila thought for a moment on the scroll she had read and replied, "There is at least three more pieces that we need, but the problem is one of them is on another continent."

"What? Where the heck is this other continent?"

"I'm not sure, as I would have to do more research on the scroll."

It was then that Thomas brought up another subject.

"By the way Louie I heard your wand got broken during your quest with the Mylee Priestess and her allies. How did that happen?"

The blue-haired wizard sighed and began to tell him the outcome of how his wand got broken after saving Melissa from death and what had occurred afterwards to the group.

Terry also decided to fill his students in on how the quest had began and how it ended with the trio, making Kika frown at how they treated her friend and master and decided to speak her mind.

"I honestly wish you two never went with those three since all they ever did was complained and insult you. Hell, I'm not at all surprised, that they didn't even bother to say thank you for your help."

Terry shrugged. "No biggie. We didn't go with them to be thanked. We got something out of this little adventure."

Louie nodded. "Yeah, and those three got nothing for their trouble."

Terry shook a finger at his student. "Louie, you shouldn't speak badly about people, unless you want to make an enemy out of them. Though I will admit that they're going to get their just desserts right about now."

In another part of the city...

"What do you mean it's all worthless?" Merrill exclaimed after the appraiser gave his estimate on how much the 'treasure' was.

"That's what I'm telling you." The portly shopkeeper remarked. "What you got is nothing but old quartz, fool's gold and some cheap silver-coated goods. Best I can offer you for the lot is 20 copper coins."

The young thief was seeing red at the moment and wanted to find those two men so she could skin them alive for this. They went through all that trouble and got nothing for it in return. She then remembered the scroll they had in their possession and decided that she and Genie should take it from them. Whatever it was worth she hoped it would cover their debts.

Back to Terry...

The Lone Wolf waved it off, "You don't need to worry about them since we aren't going to see them anymore. Right now we have more pressing issues."

Thomas nodded and said to his friends, "I think we should have something to eat first and worry about this another time. Tomorrow we will help Louie gets a new wand and then we can study more on this Spirit Ring."

The group nodded and decided to order some food before heading back to the guild as tomorrow would be an interesting day.

At the Temple of Mylee...

The blonde priestess was silently praying for tomorrow's ritual to be a complete success. Her friends had decided to turn in for the night but Merrill had stated that she wanted to get the treasure they found appraised as soon as possible to get rid of their debts. As for Genie she stated she was glad that they didn't have to deal with the two men that had accompanied them.

Thinking about the Lone Wolf and his student she couldn't help but frown at how they acted toward them. She remembered some of the accusing words he had said toward her.

Terry: And what did you expect me to do? Just stand there and be cut in half all because your short tempered friend doesn't like getting the same treatment her and that punk are showing to me and my student? If anything you need to get your head out of your ass.

(No he had no right to strike ether of my friends like that.)

She was broken out of thoughts when she heard a voice.

"Melissa?"

She turned around to see the head of the guild standing behind her.

"Yes Head Priestess Jenny?"

"You should be resting for tomorrow's ritual as it is an important event for you."

"I know I just feel a little nervous about it."

Jenny gave her disciple a reassuring smile and told her, "Just have faith in Mylee and make sure your will is strong. You must always be prepared for future conflicts and any trials ahead."

Melissa got up from her position and bowed to her teacher.

"I shall turn in for the night then Head Priestess Jenny. Good Night."

"Good Night Melissa."

As Jenny turned in for the night her disciple took on a dreamy expression of her handsome, intelligent knight in shining armor. He would be much better than Terry or Louie.

The next day...

Terry, Louie, and Kika were on their way over to the Temple of Mylee. During the morning Ila had discovered that two of the other pieces were scattered in different parts in the continent of Alecrast.

One was an object called a Sky Key that was as small as a pencil and the other was a small blue gem known as a Mana Stone. It would take some time to build the machine as the third piece had to be built together since it was required for the Sky Key to work.

On the way Louie had meet up with Kika and asked if she wanted to come along to the temple if she wasn't busy. She shrugged and decided to tag along since she didn't have any studies. Right they were discussion about one of the items in question.

"Hey bro how come we have to go to the Temple of Mylee?"

"From what Ila told me the Sky Key is considered a precious relic to them as it is a way to meet with their...god in the off chance that there is a great crisis and that he can turn one of the disciples or the chosen champion into a powerful warrior to defend the land."

"For real?" The blue-haired wizard asked.

Kika decided to let him in on more of the relic and its history.

"We had this assignment before Louie since it was when we came back from our training trip. We were to learn about when King Bradley and Master Carwes went in search of it before and they learned that there was more than one in existence. It is said every fifty years that the followers of Mylee perform a ceremony in order to receive one since they are also used to defend the world."

"Wow I never knew that. How many were said to exist?"

"There was said to be three, but I learned that once three years has passed it loses its power."

"Man that has got to be a real pain to go through all that trouble. Is that why we brought the scroll with us?"

The Lone Wolf nodded. "I figure since Jenny is the head of the temple she should have some records on where we can find one or hopefully another guild that is making one."

They soon arrived at the front of the temple and started making their way up the stairs.

"I hope none of the other priestess's gives us a hassle like the one you two were with." Kika commented to her teacher and friend.

Andy's older brother waved it off. "I doubt that we will have any trouble from this place and Melissa right now is probably doing her ritual now so..."

"HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!"

All three heard the screeching voice of a certain thief and turned around to see her with Genie by her side and they were not in a good mood.

"What do you two bozo's want now?" Kika asked irritated as she was hoping they wouldn't have to deal with any trouble today.

Genie ignored the brown haired woman and pointed a finger at Terry.

"Give us that scroll you have!"

The Lone Wolf's response to her was simple.

"No."

"What did you say?" She glared at him dangerously.

"I think you heard me and I will not repeat myself."

This caused the two females to draw their weapons as they were not going to let this stupid MALE keep what they believed should be theirs. This caused Kika to draw her own swords and Louie to take a stance.

"Bro, you better hang on to this so it doesn't gut ruined." Louie took the scroll from his belt and was ready to toss it to him when he heard Merrill scream and rushing at him.

"Gimmee that scroll!"

She ran at Terry's student attempting to take the scroll only for her to miss it as Louie kept it out of her reach.

"No way, a deal's a deal! You agreed to let us have any scrolls or documents, and you got to keep the rest! Not our fault you got nothing but junk!"

The burnet then pointed an accusing finger at Terry.

"You knew! You knew we had nothing but worthless fakes!"

Terry let off a tired sigh as he had a feeling this would happen. So he decided to point out the simple facts to these two.

"If you recall, or don't care to recall, I DID offer to appraise your stuff before we parted ways. You turned me down. And Louie does have a point. You agreed to the deal when we came on that adventure. The adventure is over and my student and I have no further business with you. We owe you NOTHING."

Merrill and Genie were about to get violent, but then backed off as Terry began powering up his ki.

Louie let off a whistle of appreciation and then looked at the two.

"Trust me, you DON'T want him mad at you."

Genie however was not in a listing mood and made it clear speaking out against the Lone Wolf.

"You think that just because you let off some fancy little trick that you can intimate me?"

"Are you forgetting what my master did to those goblins yesterday or are you just that thick headed and stupid?" Kika spoke up as she was getting tired of this feminist nut job's attitude toward her master and friend.

"Why don't you shut up you little bitch! I'm getting tired of your master hiding behind his students since he doesn't want to face me like a man."

Kika had enough of this and was about to attack when the voice of master stopped her.

"Kika, step aside and let me handle these two. Louie the same goes for you as well."

Both students of the Lone Wolf gulped nervously and stepped aside. Whenever Terry spoke like that then mercy to anyone who would be dumb enough to face someone who fought like a wolf.

The student of Tung Fu Rue glared down at the two as he was in no mood to deal with these idiots. What made him even more angry was the fact they wanted to break their word to him and his student after helping them out yesterday and thought that just because they didn't listen to him they blamed him and considered the scroll theirs by right? Well they were in for a painful lesson.

"I'm giving you two idiots a chance to leave me alone or I won't be held accountable for what happens."

"Shut up and give us the scroll already!" Merrill yelled while ignoring the warning signs that were going off in her head.

"It's your loss then."

With these words Terry rushed at them with a speed no one thought possible and nailed the female thief right in the kisser.

WHAM!

Merrill felt like she hit by an ogre and went flying backwards right onto the ground of the temple.

"Merrill!" Genie shouted shocked at seeing her taken down so easily and then turned glared at the Lone Wolf.

"You're dead you bastard!"

She rushed at him swinging her sword viciously at the displaced Earthling only for him to leap back away from her. Louie and Kika stood far away from the two making sure not to get in their sensei's way and hoped that Terry didn't go overboard on these idiots.

Genie was getting madder as she continued to swing her sword at him and she couldn't touch him. All the while the blonde fighter continued to nimbly doge his opponent's wild swings and even taunted her a few times.

"Oh come on now that's a sword you swinging not a club!"

"Hold still damn you!"

"You're swinging in too wide an arch. That's easy to evade."

"I'll kill you!"

"Not goanna happen."

"Bastard!"

"Temper, temper Genie. If you lose your cool you lose the battle."

"Damn you! Hold still!"

"Total amateur. You wouldn't last through the first round of the King of Fighters, and considering I'm still holding back."

"What? You think I can't take a hit because I'm a woman?"

Terry then spoke in a deadly serious voice.

"Okay. You're complaining that you don't get the same treatment as men do. Fine. So take THIS like a man! BURN KNUCKLE!"

Genie held up her sword to block, but with ki-infused rage powering Terry's fist, the weapon may as well been a chopstick as it snapped in two. Unfortunately for her, Terry's attack didn't stop at the blade as it continued on and slammed into her chest. Genie was sent hurtling backwards and she already knew she had several broken ribs, as her back impacted with the wall of the temple. She formed a shallow indentation in the masonry in the shape of her body. Admits a cloud of dust and crumbling stone, she slumped to her knees before falling forward, her consciousness fading away.

(Impossible! That sword was tempered steel! He's...not human! He's...a monster!)

She fell flat on her face and lapsed into unconsciousness.

"GENIE!"

Merrill had run over to her friend as she was dizzy from getting punched earlier and had trouble getting up to help her friend out. When she was able to regain her balance she just witnessed her friend getting sent into the wall and her sword broken in half. Checking over her she was glad to see she was still alive, and turned to glare at the Lone Wolf.

"You stupid bastard, I'm goanna kill you for that!"

Before he could respond some new voices were heard.

"What is going on out here?"

Everyone turned to see a group of women dressed the same as Melissa. In front of the group were three girls who looked up to the blonde priestess. Their names were Anna, Gannet, and Joan.

Before Louie or Kika could respond the angry thief shouted and pointed an accusing finger at them and Terry.

"Those three took something from us and that jerk hurt my friend!"

Anna who had orange hair knew Merrill and Genie who were Melissa's friends and not asking for the others side of the story glared at the three.

"How dare you attack Miss Melissa's friends you barbarians! Prepare to be punished!"

"Whoa hold on a minute!" Louie said holding his hands up in a non-treating gesture. "You got it all wrong we didn't attack them first they..."

"Don't you dare try to lie your way out of this!" Gannet said next to her allies and turned to the group behind them. "Get them!"

This caused the group of Mylee Priestess's to charge at the three with battle staff's, forcing Louie, and Kika to defend themselves from the mob. Terry not liking were this was going ran to his students to get them out of this mess, but had to dodge a swarm of daggers. Looking to his left he saw Merrill running after him with daggers in hot pursuit.

He was about to make a quick knockout with the thief when he heard Louie's voice.

"Terry take the scroll and get to Aunt Jenny quick so you can sort this mess out!"

With these words Louie tossed the scroll to him and the Lone Wolf leaped up and caught it. Then to the astounded eyes of everyone he leaped twenty feet into the air and started jumping up the temple to lose his pursuers. His students followed after him in the same way.

(How the heck did they do that?) Thought the astounded group as they then realized that their intended enemy's were getting away.

Inside the Temple of Mylee...

Inside the temple's innermost chambers Melissa prayed before the idol of Mylee. She stood naked in hip-deep waters in the center of an elaborate pool and waited for her god to give her a sign of how she would recognize her chosen hero. In her mind she thought of her beautiful, righteous, and always gentlemanly knight in shining armor. (1)

Back to Terry and the others...

"Will you idiots knock it off and just listen to us!"

Kika yelled at the group as she blocked with her swords and kicked away any that got too close. Louie was dodging their attacks and countered in ether a hip-toss or punched them out.

Terry for his part was dealing with Merrill and Melissa's three followers as they were trying to get at the scroll her had. It took the thief and the followers of Mylee awhile to get to the roof since they had to use a ladder and had to carefully walk across the walls of the temple.

"Hold still you lowly thief and pay for what you did to Melissa's friends!" Joan shouted as she swung her staff at the Lone Wolf only for him to leap over it and got knocked off her feet in the form of a sweep kick.

"I hate to break this to you but I am not like the midget and I sure as hell didn't start the fight between those two!" Andy Bogards brother replied as he wanted to get to Jenny quickly. Problem was when he tried to enter the temple through a different route he was caught off by some of the priestess using attack spells and was force to take another way which leads him to the roof.

"Why should any of us take your word over Miss Melissa's friends?"

"The fact that I am not trying to hurt any of you should say otherwise and you weren't there when it started."

"Don't listen to this guy, he's full of himself and he gave us nothing but junk!" Merrill shouted as she was trying to get a shot at him, but didn't want to ruin the scroll in the process.

That was when Anna thrust her staff at the Lone Wolf. He had managed to dodge the attack but the scroll that was hanging from his belt got knocked off and began rolling off the roof.

Both Terry and Merrill ran after the rolled parchment in an attempt to get to it first. The burnet threw daggers at the Lone Wolf in order to slow him down but to no avail as he simply leaped over them and kept going.

Before any of them could reach it one of the other priestess that was closest managed to grab it and then tossed it toward Joan. The blue haired priestess was about to catch it only for Louie to leap up and grab it in time. Turning around he spotted his friend Kika who had knocked out another priestess.

"Kika, think fast!"

He quickly tossed the scroll to her.

Kika heard her friend's voice and looked to see the rolled parchment coming toward her. She quickly jumps in the air and catches 'it while landing on the roof. Dodging a few strikes from the followers of Mylee she lashed out with a kick to one and then threw the scroll once more this time to the Lone Wolf.

"Sensei, catch!"

Terry elbowed Merrill in the gut, then flipped backwards to catch the scroll. He then grew a smirk and said to his student, "How about a game of keep away guys?"

So began a game with Terry and his two students tossing the scroll while keeping it out of the hands of Merrill and the Mylee priestess's.

This went on for a few minutes until Louie was cornered by the group of angry women. Anna, Gannet, and Joan stepped forward with Merrill behind them and they were less than friendly.

"The game is over you lowly thief, surrender the scroll that you stolen from Miss Melissa's friends!"

Louie however was getting tired of this nonsense and decided to end this once and for all. He had practiced working on a new move and he felt it was time to test it out. Forming a plan on when to toss the scroll to his friends he decided to taunt the mob in front of him.

"I would stop right now if I were you, because if you take another step you guys will be in for a world of hurt."

"And just what do you plane to do? You don't even have your wand anymore?" Merrill questioned as she considered they had the upper hand.

Behind them Terry and Kika considered on what to do and what idea Louie had in mind. Terry could us a ki attack but he didn't want to risk it as it would most likely harm the women and he didn't want any of them to fall off the roof of the temple.

As for Kika she wondered what Louie had in mind for them as he didn't have his wand and couldn't use any spells. She then remembered his ki-projectile technique and hoped he wasn't planning on using it.

Thankfully for her that was not the case.

"I don't need my wand to waste you guys as I have another move up my sleeve." He then began powering up his ki and his whole body glowed with bright blue energy.

This caused the girls to become nervous as they believed that he couldn't perform any spells without his wand.

"He's bluffing, don't believe him!" Merrill stated thought deep down she was a bit intimated by what she was seeing.

It was then that Louie leaped high into the air and tossed the scroll to Kika. The brown haired woman jumped and caught it and that was when Louie unleashed his new attack!

"LOUIE BOMBER!"

Spinning down at them with his leg shot out in a vertical strike Louie attack in what looked like an aerial version of Terry's Crack Shot technique.

The group below him quickly scattered to avoid the attack but when his leg hit the roof it shook greatly with a loud boom!

BOOM!

The shockwave from the attack shook everyone causing them to lose their balance, except for Terry and Kika who quickly jumped up in time to avoid the backlash. However it would soon lead to an unforeseen event.

In the sacred chambers...

Melissa couldn't believe it as she soon heard the voice of her god as he spoke to her.

[MELISSA. THE NEXT PERSON YOU ARE ABOUT TO MEET WILL BE YOUR CHOSEN CHAMPION.]

This confused Melissa as she wondered why the Head Priestess Jenny would be the person she would meet after the ritual. It was then she heard more.

[HOWEVER YOU MUST CAREFULLY ADD HIM AND ANOTHER WHO SOON BECOME A CHOSEN CHAMPION TO ONE OF YOUR FELLOW PRIESTESS AS THEY WILL CARRY THE SPIRIT OF THE TWO SONS OF DEGAS, HANIA AND CHEVEYO. THEY COULD BRING THE WORLD TO RUIN OR SAVE IT ALONG WITH ANOTHER WORLD.]

It was then that the message was cut off and Melissa wondered what that was about when she heard a rumbling noise and looked up to see the roof breaking apart.

Back to Terry before the roof fell...

"Damn it Louie careful! Someone could have fallen off." Terry chided his student as he saw Merrill and the mob of priestess's frozen where they stood. After Louie hit his attack he pulled out a small blue gem that paralyzed them.

The step-son of Carwes waved off his masters concern. "Ah don't worry about sensei I held back on my new technique so nothing to worry..." He was soon cut off as he heard something breaking apart from under them. Unknown to Louie the roof was in need of repairs and they were to be rebuilt tomorrow but unfortunately his attacked had caused it to crumble.

What was even worse was that the weakest part was Terry and Kika were standing on it!

CREAK! SNAP!

A hole started to form under them and the Lone Wolf quickly pushed Kika away from it and prepared to brace for the impact!

In the temple...

Jenny was in her chambers waiting for the news of Melissa's ritual when she heard a loud crash from where her disciple was taken it! She quickly rushed out of her room to see if she was all right. When she got within a feet of the door she heard a loud scream.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE! IT CAN'T BE YOU! THIS IS AGAINST MY WILL!" (2)

Back on the roof...

Louie and Kika had heard what sounded like Melissa's voice and it could only mean trouble, causing the blue-haired wizard to sigh while saying, "I think things just went from bad to worse."

His friend could only nod and hoped that her master could deal with whatever had just happened.

To Be Continued...

Authors Note.

Finally I have finished chapter ten! Thank you god! This was rather long and I was very tempted to break it into two parts but I figure I should get it done. I want to give a big thank you to my friend and fellow author Hung Nguyen for helping me out with this chapter after I made some revisions with his help. I couldn't have done this without him.

I'll work on the next chapter when I get the chance as I want to try and finally get started on my crossovers that I had in mind. I also have some new ones concerning another crossover with Bleach, along with Naruto.

I will post up a new poll and it will have to do with the Devil May Cry story's I have. Also I have noticed I've been getting a lot of people who put Naruto's Desires as their favorites.

I'll make a new chapter or two when I get the chance. Please read and review my work and if you want me to write a new chapter for Naruto's Desires then let me know.

On the next chapter we will see the return of Phacia as she gives advice to Terry about being Melissa's chosen champion. Naturally neither of them will be happy about this and the Lone Wolf will have a few choice words about the matter. We will also see what Leopold as well and he will be bringing back some old trouble for our hero.

See you then.

(1) Melissa should really stop with the fairy tales before she becomes as delusional as a certain fake knight.

(2) After watching the Rune Soldier series and hearing Melissa say this stupid thing so many times I just wanted to reach into the screen and smack her silly as it gets annoying after a while.
