Alright, here is chapter 25. No one has guessed right yet, keep trying, the answer will become more and more clear as the stories line up. When it finally happens, the guess will be cut off with the closest person getting the reward. Anyway lets go, I own nothing except my ideas and OC's.

Ryan and Reloid clashed, their weapons sparking as they struck, locked, and parried. Ryan managed to get a light stab in Reloid's shoulder, and was given a slash to his knee as a result. They both stood back before clashing one more time, one problem. Reloid is visibly stronger, and Ryan, being 15 couldn't counter the attack, leading to his rapier being chipped off on the edge. Ryan growled before dodging a swipe and pulling out his pistols. Reloid smirked before pulling out his rifle. They stood down before Reloid shot. Ryan's eyes widened as his eyes glowed blue, time seemed to slow down as the bullet came at a slow pace. Ryan snapped out of it and dodged the bullet before shooting shots. They seemed to travel fast, yet Reloid couldn't dodge in time as they penetrated his right arm. Ryan blinked as time seemed to return to normal. "What the..." Ryan muttered. "That must have been my Semblance". Ryan mumbled before seeing Reloid grip his arm. Reloid smirked before his hand glowed brown and blasted Ryan's guns. Ryan yelped as his guns seemed to be enveloped in vines, they began to squeeze the guns, cracking them. Ryan pulled out a fire bomb. Ryan threw it at the vines, burning them off, the guns remaining fine due to their resistance, courtesy of Ryan.

Ryan grabbed his guns, noticing their shape, he couldn't shoot without harming them more. Ryan grimaced before noticing Reloid dig into his bag. Ryan unsheathed his hidden blades, intent on ending Reloid's life. Reloid pulled out two revolvers and a detonator. Ryan's eyes widened. "I'll make you a deal, we play a little game of 'Find the Bullet" or we all die". Reloid offered while his thumb brushed over the detonator. Ryan sheathed his blades before nodding. Reloid unclipped the revolvers before placing one bullet in each before spinning them as fast as he could until he clamped them shut. Reloid handed one to Ryan before they pointed the pistols at each others head. They each nodded before they pulled the trigger.

and agai-
BANG!

Reloid's eyes widened before he grinned in victory, until he felt himself go numb, seeing Ryan's face staring at him, he realized what happened.

He lost.

Reloid's eyes rolled to the back of his head before falling over, dead. Ryan walked over and closed his eyes before digging out a key with a blue light in it. Ryan noticed a small note in Reloid's pocket. Ryan picked it up and read.

To whoever may have defeated me,

If you are reading this, that means I have passed in battle, and my killer is reading said letter.

I wanted to pass along a special weapon, one which could be used for the ultimate sharpshooter, go into the tower and take the schematics for said weapon, use it well and fight long.

Reloid, the Sharpshooter.

Ryan nodded before walking into the tower and found a rolled up schematic. He grabbed at and opened it before scrolling his eyes along the surface, his eyes widened and a grin grew onto his face. Ryan smirked before stuffing the schematics away, only to grip onto the table as the ground shook. "George". Ryan breathed out before racing towards the fort.

Ryan scaled a wall and saw George on the ground, an armored female above him ready to end the battle. Ryan immediately pulled out a pistol and shot, the cracks on the pistol becoming more apparent. The woman fell back as Ryan jumped beside George. "What the-"? He gasped. Ryan nudged him. "Gawk later fight now"! Ryan snaps at him. George nodded before he pulled out his axe and clashed with the woman, Ryan barrel rolled under her before stabbing her thigh with his hidden blade, causing her to kneel. George kicked her to the ground before planting a foot on her stomach. "I admit, you were a truly worthy opponent, I wish we could fight more, but this is the end". George says with his axe above his head. "Rest in Peace". George mutters before his axe struck her chest, killing her. George closed her eyes and picked up a key, while Ryan nudged his shoulder. "Let's get out of here". Ryan says while pointing to the charging bandits. "Let's do". George agrees before they run.

The two arrived at the camp, Yaron pacing nervously. "Yaron, you alright"? George asks. Yaron nods, shaking like a leaf. "What happened to you"? Ryan asks, Yaron never got nervous, and if he did, he didn't want to know what. "I don't want to talk about it". Yaron answers while sitting down. Ryan nods before doing the same. "Where's Ash"? Ryan asks. After he said that, a loud boom erupted, followed by a loud deep roar.

To be continued.

Alright, there is chapter 25 and the end of Ryan's story. Yaron then Ash, with Hollowgod's suggestion coming in, I managed to make it work. Another hint for the roar, it is a beast. R&R This is Oathkeeper0317 signing out.
