The Legend Will Never Die: Part Four "Kilik the Chosen One"

Kilik the Chosen One

Kilik was training under his trainer, the very wise and old Edge Master.

Kilik was the owner of the sacred Kali-Yuga and Dvarpa-Yuga. the 19 year old fighter was training for his last day with Edge Master.

"I take leave of you now, master." Kilik announced.

"Go forth, Kilik. You have trained well, and will make me proud." Edge Master replied.

Kilik was hoping to find his friend, Xianghua. Kilik met her a few years ago, and found out she had received the last of the sacred triad of weapons, the sword, Krita-Yuga.

Sadly, Xianghua had left to find and destroy Soul Edge, and had not returned as of yet

"Hey Kilik, where ya going?" someone asked.

It was Maxi, Kilik's best friend.

"Oh, Maxi! I am trying to find Xianghua." Kilik replied.

"Well, I'm headed to the next town." Maxi said. "How 'bout I tag along for a while?"

Suddenly they heard an announcement.

"Who will take us on? Who will fight us in two on two combat?" a voice shouted.

"C'mon Kilik, let's go fight 'em!" Maxi persisted.

"All right. Let's go!" Kilik agreed.

The two challengers were Mitsurugi and Lizardman.

Mitsurugi was a samurai in search of Soul Edge and Lizardman was a human who had been transformed by the seed of evil. Unlikely allies.

"The rules are simple, you have to knock our weapons out of our hands." Mitsurugi explained.

Soon the battle began.

Lizardman took on Maxi and Kilik took on Mitsurugi.

Maxi and Lizardman fought. Lizardman drew his sword and shield, and Maxi used his Nunchaku.

"Heh, this'll be too easy!" Maxi laughed as Lizardman growled back.

Maxi powered up the powerful attack, which knocked Lizardman off his feet, and he dropped his sword.

"Told ya it'd be easy!" Maxi said to Kilik.

Mitsurugi and Kilik were both in a stalemate. Neither could get the other's weapon out of their hand.

'I have to win! Maxi did, and so will I!' Kilik thought.

Kilik quickly kicked Mitsurugi in the stomach. He then grabbed his rod and using it, he knocked Mitsurugi's sword down.

"All right Kilik!" Maxi shouted from the sidelines.

Maxi and Kilik soon reached Maxi's destination.

"Well, Kilik, it's been fun!" Maxi stated before departing.

'Now to find Xianghua.'

Suddenly a huge portal opened in front of Kilik.

"COME IN, YOUNG WARRIOR." a voice from the portal beckoned.

Kilik carefully crept in. When he got through he noticed his surroundings.

The pleasant smell of blossoms filled the air. The sparkling water surrounding the area shined brightly. Flower petals swirled in the air.

'I'm in the Emperor's Garden' Kilik thought in amazement.

"IS THIS PLACE FAMILIAR TO YOU?" the voice asked.

"Yes, this is Xianghua's old battlefield." Kilik replied, searching for the voice's source.

"DO YOU WISH TO FIND XIANGHUA?" the voice asked.

"Yes! Where is she?" Kilik asked excitedly.

"GO THROUGH THE NEXT PORTAL. YOU WILL FIND HER."

Kilik saw a second portal appear. He walked through it. He was now in Chaos, the world of evil.

"Kilik?" a voice, different from the first one, asked.

"Is that you Xianghua?" Kilik asked.

"Yes. You must leave. It's too dangerous for you here." Xianghua replied.

"But, where are you?" Kilik could only see a sword on the ground.

"Look at the sword more closely." Xianghua explained.

Kilik bent closer to the sword. He could see Xianghua's face slightly reflected in it.

"You are in there? Why?" Kilik asked, curious and shocked.

"Inferno, Soul Edge's incarnation found me. Since Soul Edge needs souls it made Inferno to find them. Inferno took my soul away from me. If you don't leave soon he will take yours too!" Xianghua urged.

"I will not leave without you!"

"Go! Why risk your life for mine? If you can not get me out, we will both be trapped, and what good is that? You must leave now, there is not much time left!" Xianghua ordered.

"But, how do I get out of here?"

"Jump off the edge of the platform."

Hesitantly, Kilik jumped down and was back where he started before he first met Inferno.

'I'll train harder and get you out of there, I promise.' Kilik vowed.

He ran back to Edge Master and the Proving Grounds and awaited his new training to become stronger than ever before.

THE END?
