Chapter 18: Blaster Blade Steps In

~Enter Cray World Dreamscape~

"Argh, what's going on?" Aichi muttered as he rubbed his aching head and got back on his feet. He looked around and realised he was back in Cray. What am I doing here? He wondered to himself.

"Ah, so you are back Aichi." A voice emanated from behind him. Aichi turned around and came face-to-face with a blade.

"A talking blade?" Aichi asked astonished. Then he looked up and saw Blaster Dark. "Oh sh-" Aichi got cut of as Blaster Dark raised his blade.

"You will not fight Psyqualia and you will be mine once again!" Blaster Dark roared and brought down his blade.

Aichi closed his eyes and waited for imminent death. Clang! Sparks flew as Blaster Dark's blade collided with Blaster Blade's blade.

"You are not hurting Aichi, I will protect him from your evil!" Blaster growled and with a powerful swing, drove Blaster Dark's blade back.

Blaster Dark smirked and said, "Well, well, if it isn't my dearest little brother. Come to protect Aichi you say? Or have you just come to even the scores? Either way it's not happening today! At least not now…" And with that, Blaster Dark disappeared from sight. "I will be back Aichi, mark my words." His voice echoed around them.

Aichi glanced at Blaster Blade questioningly, "Little brother?"

Blaster Blade looked solemnly at Aichi and muttered softly, "I guess I better start at the beginning huh? Well, years ago, when he and I were just little kids, we played a lot together. We ate together, trained with our blades together, we even had the same favourite weapon. The blade. Then one day, while he and I were training in the forest, we discovered these strange blades. Nothing like we've ever seen before. The two blades were the Blade of Holy Blaster and the Blade of Dark Blaster. My brother decided we should each take one since there were two blades and two of us. Being the older one, he let me choose first. At that time, I was, frankly speaking, afraid of the Blade of Dark Blaster, so I chose the Blade of Holy Blaster. My brother then chose the Blade of Dark Blaster. Little did we know the power that each blade contained. So we started sparring with these new blades we found. Day after day, my brother kept getting stronger and stronger. I was improving but only slowly. One day, he decided to leave the house. Go out and seek stronger bladers to fight with. Slowly, he killed of each and every blader he fought with. Soon, he became the best and most feared blader all over the land. I too set off from home too, in hopes to stop him. Although I was still not as good a blader as he was, I hoped I could stop him based on our brotherhood. But it seemed that using that card not only did not change his mind, it aggravated him further and he turned on me immediately. I matched him strike for strike, slash for slash. Until a Shadow Paladin mage showed up. He, or it, I couldn't tell what or who he was, brought his staff up and cast a spell on my brother. His eyes burned of an evil purple flame and so did his blade. The mage had somehow given him new and string powers. I thought I was going to die when he finally knocked me to the ground and he swung his blade at me. Just as I saw my reflected in his purple blade, there was a blur of blue. Then, I shut my eyes. When I opened them, I saw a puppy with really long ears leaping around and scratching my brother. He was caught off guard by it but then the mage acted again. He swung his staff and hit this blue puppy creature to the ground. I got so agitated that he just harmed the little creature that just saved my life. I jumped to my feet and lashed at him. Before my blade made contact, he disappeared with and echoing laughter coming from everywhere. Then, a portal opened up and his voice resounded saying, 'Come join us Michael, join us and attain powers you never thought imaginable!' Since that day, he went to join the Shadow Paladins while I decided to join the Royal Paladins. I brought the little puppy along with me and he became my best friend since then. And I called him 'Wingal' since he had those long wing-like ears. Though one troubling thing is, the last time I saw him he didn't have that teleporting powers he used just now. The Shadow Paladin mages must have done something to him. Given him that new power. I have to stop him before his power consumes you Aichi. Your friends can help to, you don't have to do this alone."

Aichi let all this information soak in before he asked, "Then what's your name?"

Blaster Blade looked surprised as he answered, "Well, my name's Jonathan."

"Oh." Aichi said and Jonathan looked even more quizzical.

"Why'd you ask?" Jonathan questioned, clearly not understanding Aichi's intentions.

"Well 'cos it's kinda strange to keep calling you 'Blaster Blade' right? I mean you have a name but I'm always calling you by your 'title'." Aichi replied with a grin.

"Ah, I see…" Jonathan nodded in realisation.

Then, everything around Aichi started blurring. "Jonathan!" Aichi called out. ""You'll be fine Aichi! I'll be here for you just like your friends!" A whirling image of Jonathan called out. Then, Aichi blacked out.

~Leave Cray World Dreamscape~

"Eh?" Aichi woke up with a start to see Misaki, Kai, Miwa, Kamui, Neiji, Eiji, Kourin and even Morikawa by his bedside. Emi walked in and gasped, "Aichi! Omigosh you're awake!"

A/N: Well, here's an appearance for Kai as requested. And although I'm asking for ideas for new chapters, I do not appreciate perverted or sick ideas THANK YOU! So please, a legit idea, please suggest, if not read, enjoy and F**K off with your perverted and sick shit… _|_ I think it isn't too much to ask for as an author right?
