(XXV) The Rave of Knowledge
Naruto Musica Plue Griff and Elie were waiting for Haru and Deerhound.
"Hey! Didn't that door closed when we entered?" Musica asked.
They look and saw that the door they entered through was open.
"That's strange..." Elie responded.
"Something isn't right," Naruto responded.
...
Deerhound hit the ground.
"Hang in there!" Haru told Deerhound.
Haru noticed a kunai knife piercing Deerhound's armor.
"A kunai knife... but Naruto wouldn't hurt Deerhound," Haru responded.
"Heh heh heh," Haru heard someone laughed.
Haru turned to see it was Dr. Schneider.
"You!" Haru responded.
"So we meet again... herr Rave Master," Dr. Schneider responded.
"Schneider!" Haru responded.
"How did you get in here?" Deerhound asked.
"Hmpf. I vas following zee Rave Master zhis whole time. Eluding your gaze vas like child's play," Dr. Schneider responded.
"This is sacred ground. The resting place of warriors," Deerhound said, "I cannot allow anyone to disturb this holy place!"
"Don't make me laugh!" Dr. Schneider laughed, "I heard the whole story, herr bear. You vere once a knight of the blue sky. But you're nothing but an old man now! Vhat threat could you possibly pose?"
Deerhound growled.
"You call zhis a grave?" Dr. Schneider kicked a sword.
"You jerk," Haru responded.
"Yo're the one I vant, Rave Master. You and that runt from the other world outside." Dr. Schneider said as he took a low point running stance, "You're finished, pathetic fool. Taste my true fighting style."
"That stance... he's an assassin," Deerhound responded.
"Can't you hear the voices of the warriors who rest here?" Haru asked.
Lights started coming off the ground and surround Haru, mainly his hand that was holding the Rave of Knowledge.
"The Wisdome of the Rave is flowing into Haru's body," said Deerhound, who was now sitting up.
"Die!" Schneider started running at high speed.
However Haru moved even faster, so fast that he was a blur and struck Schneider before he knew what happened.
"Whoa! He's a blur!" Deerhound responded, "It must be the sonic sword, Silfarion!"
Haru sword was in a new form. It was more slender and had curved groves around the lower blade coming off the handle, causing the indentation containing the Rave Stone to shift in a slant.
"He's so strong... I have seen first hand the bravery of the second Rave Master," Deerhound thought.
"Zhis can't be! So many blows all at once..." Dr. Schneider manage to say before collapsing.
Haru was more occupied with his sword's new form.
"What the-?" Haru responded.
"One of the forms of the ten powers-the sonic sword, Silfarion. Its blows are not very powerful, but it gives the user incredible speed," Deerhound said.
"But how did I-?"
"You have gained the wisdom of the Rave," Deerhound replied.
"The wisdom of the Rave?" Haru asked.
"Yes. You have gained the knowledge of the warrior," Deerhound explained.
"Then how do I make the other seven forms?"
"There's no need for me to tell you. You already know. You will be able to use the other forms when the need arises. You know, even if you don't know. But the ten powers' final form is special. You will need more than just the Rave of Knowledge to use it. You would also need the combat skills of the Rave of Combat, the destined power of the Rave of Destiny, and the True powers of the Rave Master from the Rave of Truth. When you have collected all the Rave Stones, you will know the true meaning of the Rave."
"Rave of Combat... Rave of Destiny... Rave of Truth... and the true meaning of the Rave..." Haru responded.
"Yes... the rave is more than just a weapon made to destroy the Shadow Stone. Remember that," Deerhound said.
"Well, in that case we better jet so we can look for the other three Raves," Haru said.
