The air was was in suspense everyone paused and looked at Garou. The armor was stained and pitch black and rusted at places. A crack appear on the helmet's left eye, if you stare into the crack you will see nothing as if the armor was hollow. Rouga looked at his armor and was in a state of confusion.
"What's happening?" Shurio asked Takayi who shooked his head.
"This isn't Garou is it?" Raven asked staring at the armor in a awkward way.
"Garou Forbidden Shine." Rian said and Rena looked at her.
"Rian. What is that form?" Rena ask the Makai Priestess.
"That form is called Forbidden Shine. It is a downgrade of the true armor. You won't be able to access any of Garou's powers and abilities. But you wouldn't need a time limit when you wear this armor." Rian said and left her mouth open.
"Haven't seen that form in a long time." Tesset said stroking his mini goatee.
"Miraculous. But you're not golden boy! You're a black boy!" (No racism intended I was trying to stick with what Raibi would say) Raibi said pointing his sword at Garou.
"What is happening here? This isn't suppose to happen." Rouga thought still looking at the armor. Raibi charged at Rouga prepared to slash him. Rouga barely manages to dodge it but trips and fell back against a tree. Raibi slice horizontally at Rouga who dived to his right. The tree split but stood in place,
"Come on! It's not fun if you keep running!" Raibi yelled kicking the tree down. Rouga looked over at Tesset who shine the sealing talisman at Rouga. Rouga started to feel angry so he did what anyone would fight!
"AHHHHHHH!" Rouga tackled Raibi grabbing him around the waist. Raibi slammed the butt of his sword into Rouga's back making him let go. Raibi then grabbed Rouga and then threw him over to Add and Eve knocking them both down.
"GET OFF OF ME!" Add shouted as he tries to push Rouga off and was successful. Rouga stood up and use the Golden asd a cane to stand up.
"Oh no! Fighting two of Shibagentsu's vassals at once is a bad idea." Takayi said as he jumped into attack Tesset.
"Haha. Amusing come at me the bearer of the armor Colt." Tesset said in a playful manner. Takayi as well fired up and attacked Tesset in rage.
"DON'T MENTION THAT NAME!" Takayi said swinging furiously at Tesset. Raven jumped in and pulled Takayi back.
"GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF! ANGER WON'T SOLVE ANYTHING!" Raven said using all his might to pull back Takayi. Ara and Chung attack Tesset to get him to stop attacking Takayi.
"WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT ANGER! IT'S A SOURCE OF POWER!" Takayi shouted struggling to free himself.
"I know that it is a source of power but if you let it consume you it would hurt you back!" Raven shouted a little lower than the last time. Rouga try to slice and stab Raibi but it failed. Raibi kept on dodging and parrying the Golden.
"Come on you call that a slash?" Raibi said standing still as Rouga attacked him which did nothing.
"SHUT UP!" Rouga shouted and then Raibi grabbed Rouga's blade and pulled him closer until the Dragon shaped helmet was touching Raibi's horns.
"Boy grow stronger." Raibi said and then threw Rouga away.
"We can't have that. We must eliminate all the nuisance that stands in Master Shibagentsu's way." Tesset said tapping the Khakkhara in his left palm.
"Tesset stay out of my business!" Raibi said pushing Tesset aside angrily.
"I can not obey that. Even if you are a fellow vassal. But as the strategist of Shibagentsu's army this decision can not be accepted." Tesset said and his tone changed.
"Strategy this, strategy that, STRATEGY EVERYTHING! This so call 'strategy' will not help me in anyway." Raibi said keeping his rage in.
"Very well I shall go." Tesset said then he turned around and started to walk away. Raibi sheathed his sword and spit at the ground. Tesset then swung around firing a charge bolt at Rouga, the attack sent him flying backwards into a tree ripping it and the roots out. The armor came off and return to the other dimension where it was kepted.
"TEEEEEESSSSSSEEEETTTTTTT!" Raibi yelled causing an earthquake and he took out his blade. The blade was covered in evil energy in its most tainted form. "HYA-JYUSEN SCHOOLS' SECRET ART! PITCH BLACK OVERWHELMING SLASH!" Raibi slashed releasing a giant beam which look like space.
"Jac-Raisen Schools' Secret Art. Pitch Black Silent Reflector." A black domed then surrounded Tesset and it collided with Raibi's slash. The slash went through it and sent Tesset flying. Raibi's thirst for blood still hasn't been queench so he turn towards the Elgang and Rian with Takayi and Rouga.
"Come on! We need to escape. Can I really use 'it'? One way to find out." Elsword thought and he stood in front of Raibi. "COME! PHOENIX! PHOENIX TALON!" A image of a Phoenix arise within Elsword and soared towards the sky and then it came down at Raibi. Raibi covered for the impact but he didn't felt any. He made the wrong choice of looking the Phoenix attacked Raibi who didn't defended himself.
"Not bad." Raibi said after the Phoenix disappeared. The Elgang was long gone after that and Raibi return towards their base of operation.
Rouga woke up when he heard armor clanging. He opened his eyes to see nothing but white. he thought he was blind so he looked at his arm which was still there. The sound of armor clanging into each other was getting louder Rouga stood up and then turn his head to his right. Rouga saw the Armor of Garou walking towards him shining with the golden color.
"W-w-who are you?" Rouga stammered. The armor stopped and spoke in a deep and mystical voice followed by an echo.
"Rouga. Continue fighting and grow stronger. If you are lost do not fear the dark." The armor said and while walking towards him.
"What? What does that mean? More importantly where is this place?" Ruga ask and the Armor answered him.
"This place is where your life hangs. Past present future everything is the same in this place." Garou said vaguely. Before Rouga could ask another question Garou walked past him and slapped his back. "Go little Garou. Do not be afraid of the dark." The armor said when Rouga turned around and saw the armor wasn't there.
"Young one. Go forward and grasp the light." The armor of Garou said appearing on top of Rouga. This time the armor had much more sharper shoulder guards and had blades coming out of his wrists. And he had a scarf with rings on the two ends of the scarf.
"Why are you appearing on top of me now shouldn't you just talk with me face to face?' Rouga ask and Garou replied.
"This is a different reality we can not meet at all." Garou said.
"Yeah but-" Rouga started and stopped.
"Do not be afraid of the darkness inside of you. Do nt look away from the flames inside of you. It is you and soon enough it will fade." Garou said and then he threw his Golden at Rouga. It didn't hit Rouga but landed in front of him. Ruga looked at the Golden and then looked back at Garou. Who wasn't there.
"Go forth and break the chains of fate. Young Golden Knight." A deep but squeaky voice said.
"Who is there?!" Rouga shouted and looked behind him to see another Garou armor standing with it's back against Rouga. This time the Garou had razor sharp claws it had spikes on his ankles and joint pads.
"The darkness isn't you but Garou." Declared from the different Garou this time.
"Where are you all coming from?" Rouga muttered to himself hardly believing any of this is true.
"Step forward do not hesitate. Look towards the dark and away from light. Sometimes you shall find strength in weird places." Garou said this time sounding more teenager like.
"Are you telling me to be corrupt?" Rouga ask confuse on all the riddles he got that Garou walked forward and step towards Rouga's left. Then the previous Garou's appeared with the initial Garou standing in front of Rouga.
"Young one. If you are lost. Ask your 'Blade who is it I shall protect?' Ask your hands 'Who is it I shall guide?' And then finally ask yourself. 'Who is it I shall love?' that is where you shall find your answers." The initial Garou said.
"Wait what?" Rouga said but the Garou's ignored him and they pulled out their own version of the Golden and brought it on top of Rouga.
"Rouga!" The initial Garou said. "This is my last advice for you. Protect Rian." He said and Rouga sawed his father in that armor.
"DAD!" Rouga said but it was too late. The Garou armor's shined and around them came a hundred more Garou armors.
"Good luck." The last Garou said to Rouga and he then woke up.
"GAROU!" Rouga shouted sitting up hitting a metal bowl which spill ice cold water on his legs. "COLD!" Rouga shouted getting up tripping while stepping on his pillow and fell on the floor.
"Rouga! Are you ok?" Rian ask moving the bowl away from Rouga's bed. After a while cleaning up Rouga spread himself out on the ground with Rian sitting next to him.
"Rian I met my dad and my ancestor in my dreams." Rouga said.
"I think you hit your head a little too hard on the bowl." Rian said distrusting Rouga.
"No I actually saw him well in his armor. But he and my ancestors gave me riddles possibly for me to solve." Rouga said getting up.
"And what did they say?" Rian asked again still didn't believe Rouga.
"They said something about not fearing the dark and tossing the light away." Rouga said and Rian was shock.
"That's gotta be a Craze messing with you." Rian said getting up and walking outside. Rouga followed her and continue to talk.
"No it was actually them. All four hundred and ninety one of my ancestors." Rouga said Rian turned to a corner which was the kitchen.
"And they all told you to discard the light and embrace dark." Rian asked pausing whatever she was doing.
"Yeah really I'm not kidding." Rouga said and then Rian put her wand in his face and it shone blinding light.
"Nope your not a Craze." Rian said checking Rouga's face and putting her wand back.
"I'm not a Craze I am serious." Rouga said with his most serious expression.
"Go and tell Takay about it theni." Rian said while washing the vegetables. So then Rouga went to find Takayi who was with Raven training.
The same thing happen Ruga first told him about it then Takayi look at him with disgust. Then he took out his scimitar and reflect the sunlight onto Rouga's face. Rouga yanked the sword down and was irritated.
"I'm not a Craze!" Rouga exclaim really annoyed that his friends were trying to see if he was a Craze.
"I'm just trying to be safe here." Takayi said shrugging it off.
"Whatever you guys don't believe me so guess there is no point in trying." Ruga said and then started to return to his room and go back to sleep.
"What was that abut?" Raven asked and Takayi shook his head and they return to training. Rouga fell down on his bed and sighed releasing the frustration out from his body. Then Elsword, Rena, and Aisha came into his room.
"Hey Rouga want to help us buy some ingredients for Rian?" Aisha asked and Rouga lift his head up.
"Sure why not." He said getting up putting on a jacket.
"I don't think we should have asked you. I mean you are still recovering from your wounds." Rena said worried about the young Garou Knight.
"It's fine the armor heals any injures while wearing it." Rouga said as he put on his shoes and then they left to go to the market.
The streets of Fahrmann was packed with it's residents. As peddlers ran by with their carts. People with baskets of fruits and produces. The sight was like an ancient korean city.
"Why do you guys live far away from the main city?" Aisha asked curious as it took them a while to get from the temple to the market.
"I don't know. We just like living in the slopes of the mountain. And when the bells toll other people won't get disturb." Rouga said picking some vegetables up and paying for them.
"Where are the bells?" Rena asked as she never saw them.
"The front yard." Rouga said sniffing some meat.
"But we didn't see them when we walked in." Aisha said confusingly.
"Yeah because you guys walked in from the back door." Rouga said with no attention on the trio.
"But shouldn't the front gate be facing the city instead of the opposite direction?" Aisha asked not knowing about Rouga's logic.
"Oh yeah before Fahrmann was established there were multiple temples on the slopes of the mountain. One belonging to the Haan family captors of the Nine-Tail Fox Eun. Which got destroyed a few years ago. Another belonging to the religious Monks that worships the angels up there in heaven. Another that studies nature and the elements. Then the final one which is my ancestors building that train and study to fight against Craze." Rouga said but the trio weren't listening after they heard the first part.
"Wait Ara is part of the Haan family?" Elsword whispered putting his book away.
"I don't know she never told us anything about it." Aisha said.
"But if she is then her brother is Ran or Aren Haan." Rena said shockingly.
"That could be a possibility I mean she must have stumble across the hairpin and some things happen." Elsword said as surprise as the others.
"This is such an important detail that she decided not to tell us?" Rena said raising her voice a little.
"She must had a reason for keeping this a secret from us." Elsword said trying to be logical.
"Why are we whispering and huddle up together?" Aisha asked as they never needed to hide.
"Yeah I don't know." Rena said and then they all return to normal with Rouga confused by what happen. Then he got hit by a bicycle thrown into the air.
"How does that even work?!" Rouga shouted from the ground. The trio helped the world's unluckiest man up and brush him off. Rouga had a tire mark across his face and it started to swell.
"How do you have this much bad luck?" Aisha asked and Elsword became reasonable.
"Well bad luck doesn't really exists so it must have been another force at work. Or you must have been standing at the wrong place at the wrong time.
"I guess but this has happen after my father died." Rouga said rubbing his face so the swelling could stop.
"Since your father died." Aisha said bitterly as she thought about her childhood life.
Flashback
"Come on Aisha you got to do better than that or you won't become a great magician." A woman said with a toddler Aisha on the ground holding a wand. Aisha was covered in dirt stains, burn marks, and ragged clothes.
"I'm trying as hard as I can mommy." Aisha said tearing up and trying to get up.
"Try? You think there is trying in magic?" A silhouette of a woman appeared in front of Aisha blocking the sun.
"No." Aisha said sadly then the woman fired a charged lightning bolt at her.
"Start from the top again I want you to master how to use actual lightning magic by tonight. And not mixing warm and hot air together." Aisha's mother said angrily and then left her to train.
"Aisha are you alright?" A man's voice said.
"Papa."
End of Flashback
"Hello Aisha!" Elsword shouted while snapping his finger in front of her.
"Sorry just dozed off." Aisha said slapping her face.
"Are you alright?" Rouga asked touching her shoulder.
"Yeah just hadn't slept well last night." She said and then the others backed off and let her be.
"Alright we should return now." Rena said and they turned around facing the direction from the portal. They stopped when Zakuya spoked.
"Rouga! There is a Craze in the crowd." The magic ring said. Rouga lifted his ring up so he was face to face with it.
"Is the Craze close?" He asked the ring and the ring nodded it's tiny head.
"Wait a Craze is in the crowd?" Rena asked and Elsword reply with his vast knowledge.
"Craze can disguise themselves as humans that made a contract with them." Elsword said with stern eyes like his Magic Knight's portrait.
"What how?" Rena asked another question.
"The reason we do not know but it is much more important to get rid of it before it completes the contract."
"What happens if it completes it contract?" Aisha asked this time around.
"It will devour that person and grow stronger." Rouga said slowly and dramatically before a metal pan fell from the sky.
"I'm starting to think something is after you instead of pure bad luck. I MEAN HOW DOES A METAL PAN FELL FROM THE SKY?!" Elsword shouted gathering the crowds attention.
"Sorry." Rena apologize making Elsword bow down as well. Elsword pushed Rena's hand away from his head.
"Why do we have to apologize it's not like they care." Elsword said annoyed at Rena.
"They looked at us. And it embarrass me for standing out in a crowd." Rena said blushing a little.
"Who cares." Elsword said and then added in some scientific facts.
"Are they like dating?" Rouga ask Aisha.
"Oh no that's going to be hell if they were. Think of the destruction they would cause." Aisha said jokingly and they both laugh. Then Rouga spotted the Craze in the corner of the eye and dashed after it.
"Rouga wait!" Aisha shouted chasing after him then Rena and Elsword stopped fighting and dashed after them.
