Nasuren: Disclaimers are in earlier chapters. Sorry this was a little late, but better late than never!

CC Lynx:You brought them back!

Nasuren:Yep

???: /Cracks knuckles/

Nasuren: Bold means noise or telepathic messages. Italic means thought. Now excuse me while I break up a fight between the second mystery character and Lynx. (Random breaking noise and cat hisses are heard.)

???:This is for my son! (A large explosion is heard)

"Yes, I know....." Lynx told the darkness that surrounded him on all sides. "I let them escape, but I know not why they worry you."

BUSSSSHHHHHH

"They are nothing! I just toyed with them, and yet they couldn't last five minutes. Even the old Lynx would be able to end their lives in a flash. Why should we fear those vermin!"

USSHHH

"How could they become that strong? One of them tried to use battle crystals! Even they should know why it didn't work on me! they should know that BCs draws on your infinite power!"

RRRRROOOOOOAAAAARRRRRRRR

They ground began to shake, causing fear to appear on the Demihuman's face. He has angered his master....

"Y-you were defeated by ones that used BCs?" Lynx shuddered.

RRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRR

"Now I understand. Without that power, you cannot be defeat. May I ask where it is?" A small portal opened up, showing Lynx his answer. It seemed like a small window, but none the less it gave him answers.

"So he has it. I have to keep my eyes open and prevent him from using it."

RRRRROOOOAAAAARRRRR

"He doesn't have it? Then..." Lynx finally got it. "Answers a few questions....."

UUUSSSSHHHUUUUSSS

"He still has to unlock it, until then, it's playtime....that rag time group, even with those three, cannot defeat me." Lynx then started to laugh.

BBUUUUSSSSSSSHHHHHHHH

Lynx stopped laughing immediately. Fear showed up on his face once again.

"H-he's dead! How could he still be alive!? He died with FATE! The other is nothing! How can those two alter our plain? Even if the grow stronger, They are still no match for me!"

HHHUUUUUUUPPPPPPP

"So, you want me to hold the next phase?"

PPPPPPUUUUUGGGGGGG

"I now understand completely. I have plans for them. If Guardia and Porrie don't go to war, then the next phase maybe become more interesting...." he snickered, "And I know the perfect people to stop the vermin!
"Hohoho! That's the biggest bounty this year!"

"Yeah!" Said another member of the crowd around the wall of the bar called The Hunter. As per the name, it attracted most of the bounty hunters in the True area. However there is another thing the bar is know for....

"Shh! 'He' might hear you!"

"How much is it?!"

"A kings ransom! I could retire and live the rest of my life in luxury!" Said a teenage hunter.

"Quick before he finds out!" A muscular looking man said as he ripped the wanted ad off the wall. However a hush fell over the crowd. A second later a man in a cloak stepped forward. The cloak cover his body, hiding it, and covered the lower part of his face. He had orange spiky hair and a pair of eyes that could look into your soul. The man who ripped the poster down just stared, obviously not knowing what the others did.

"Sorry pal, this one is mine!" The hunter said as he put the poster in his pocket. The man in cloak simply held out his hand.

"Hand it over."

"Or what? You hurt me? Ha! I came here to see the famous hunter, but seeing he is not here, this will make a fine substitute. There is nothing a shrimp like you can do!" He drew his ax, which was the size of a seven year old in the stone blade, no problem since he was the size of a man on the shoulder of another. The crowd instantly retreated.

"If you believe you can, try it." The taller man sneered at the tone. For someone such him it was a rare experience to be insulted, for he had never been talked to like that. Due to his size and power, not many tried, for those that did so were cut asunder.

"If you wish for death, then so be it!" He swung the ax from over his head, intending to cleave the man in halve. Despite the seeming plain fact that the man should not survived a blow from it, the cloak figure simply raised a hand and caught by the blade, grabbing it from the sides. Even though the rude hunter look like two body builders fused, the cloaked figure stopped it as if he was a child. By the looks of it, the hunter was one of the all brawn, no brains types, he faced turned red as he seemed to put all his strength into bringing it down unto it's target. In mer moments the Ax was shaking, unfortunate for the hunter it was because of him. The blade has not advanced a single inch. The hunter then jumped back, a good distance, the fact he could not win that way sinking in.

"Why you little,,,!" The thick headed hunter charged forward yet again, hoping to put momentum into the strike. However, when he reached the halfway point....

...clink...

...the cloaked man ran fast as the wind. Even though the hunter expected it, what was next wasn't. Right as the hunter saw the figure moving at him, he moved his ax toward his side. Thinking may be his weak point, but he wasn't dumb. As the two meet, the hunter swung his ax vertical, knowing it had the best chance of a hit. However, when his swing had begun and the ax was only inches away his opponent jumped. Or should I say flew? For the spectators believed that. The cloak figure spun in the air, keeping his cloak in place and landing on the back of the hunter. The figure's weight added to the hunter's momentum and sent him flying into the ground. At the last second the hunter rolled and turn to face his foe. That was when he noticed him jugging a silver bag in his hand.

"No wonder why you won't give it up. You lose money easy!" the figure said as he tossed the hunter's metal wallet back. The hunter then tried his favorite strategy. He raise his ax in the air, the blade glowing red. This was the main reason he used a stone ax.

"Here try this, FIRE WAVE!" the hunter screamed as he screamed, creating a arc as he slammed his weapon into the ground. Then the arc then rushed a the cloaked man with the hunter following it. The hunter's experience with previous enemies told him they would focus on the fire, and as they try to dodge it. He would ignore the hunter until it was too late. However this one did not budge.

"How pathetic.."he replied. As the pillar reached him, the cloaked figure just raise his hand with his sword in it high. He then brought it down, creating a similar wave. The pillar of fierce wind collided with the one of fire, canceling it out as would a flame in a hurricane. The that was when he struck. The hunter paid the pillars no mind, driving his ax forward into his foe's head. That when the cloak figure jump at him and did something that everyone who watch would remember....

The man in the brown cloak seemed to disappear as various flashes passed the hunter. His opponent reappeared on second later when he glanced back. The hunter grabbed his ax and took a offensive position. However, when his ax was level with his chest, the blade fell off. That was nothing, for when the stone blade hit the floor, it shattered into pieces, the size of pebbles. Then the handle broke apart like pieces of salami freshly sliced. The hunter stared at it in disbelief, then notice a cut in his shirt. When he touched it, his shirt then tore into ribbons.

"Grab your pants" the cloaked man said. Before the hunter could open his mouth, his belt let out, making his pants fall down, showing his 'ahem', which he instantly covered up. Then there was a sword pointed at his throat.

"Now will you hand it over? Or do you wish for everyone to know that what they say about big men are true?" The hunter then grabbed his pants, pulled them up, then shoved the poster from his pocket at the stronger man before high tailing it. The crowd, which was watching from the edge of the room, continue to watch as the man headed to the bartender, and paid for a bottle of cider and the information on the bounty. Soon after that, he waltzed out after paying for damages with the hunter's money he snatched out of his wallet during the disappearing act. The bartender just watched as the the crowd as they just stood there with amusement.

"Hey! Look on the good side!" the bartender yelled, "At least you seen the famous hunter, the Lighting Knight!"
Another world.....

You thought you can escape?

"I'll avenge Lucca for you!" A blue haired teen yelled as he raised the knife above his head.

No, this is wrong!

"Wait!" A blonde girl with a pig tail yelled.

You know what will happen.

Please, run!

"I didn't tell you about sis...." She continued.

"Would you believe that you talk in your sleep? No?" The boy replied as he opened his eyes, revealing his cold eyes. Seeing this the girl took a step back, which did not help. For when he opened his eyes and before she could even put her weight down on that foot, he rushed forward driving it into her stomach. A loud roar came from a demihuman on the floor. The pain for one lost by treachery. What worst is the pain wasn't his alone.

You loved that didn't you?

I didn't. You know that!

You did. You savored the taste of Serge's hatred toward you.

YOU THINK I ENJOY THAT? That's my-

"Son?" The room in which this happened disappeared. It was only the teen and a older looking blue hair man who resembled him. "You never knew me!"

That's not true!

"What father would drown his own son? Kill his friend? Use him as a tool?!"

That wasn't me! You think I sleep peacefully at night? All those people I kill-

"Slaughtered is what you mean."

All I can do is repent for my crimes. I've save more people than I can count!

"People think your a warrior of justice." The teen began to walk in a circle around the man, "No, a guardian spirit. How many people know someone older that a hundred? That even the eldest people remember you teaching them how to fish when they were five? All of them wrong."

You think I like being like this? Not being able to be with my wife and son? To tell them I'm sorry for their pain?

"FATE made you immortal. It could have taken it away if it wanted. Besides I'm still alive."

You die centuries ago!

"I'm alive. I'm on the new Continent, waiting for my revenge. After that I will reactivate Fate and return things to the way they should be!"

NO!

"Keep that body. The chip in you head shorted out after the defeat of FATE, but I need your body no longer. I have one better. The flame will obey me now."

I'll stop you!

"And what? Kill your son? Hahaha! If you think you can stop me, try it! I will get my revenge then! I will kill you, father! No, LYNX!"

The blue haired man woke with a start. He then rubbed his eyes to try to ease his headache.

"Lynx died, Serge." he muttered. He knew that was no dream. "I'm Wazuki..."
