Chapter 8: The Link

In a distant past, "LEX!!! Help!"

A warrior shouted, "What am I gonna do! I'm not that good in battles!" he turned away and ran into the house, "Lex!! Use these!" Another warrior shouted and threw him two of the two colored swords, "Thanks!" these swords were mystical, one of the two were blue and the other is red, fire and water, when these two combined they produce an armor impenetrable by anything even magic. Lex the warrior walked outside the house, while walking the two swords were now wrapping the boy in a ring of both water and fire, each step he made he was growing up to the teenager we now knew, After a few brief moments he came out wearing an armor in a striking red and blue colored mixture hi boots were covered and dashes of red and wing design on the boots in the shade of blue, his chest armor is in a deep blue with two red stripes vertically, and his helm with the furious red color with a blue wide stripe in the middle and a sapphire gem in the front middle on his helmet and chest armor. "Hahaha…a mere kid! Trying to stop me! You must be crazy! I, the powerful Shien long! Will never be defeated!" Lex smiled, "Think again!" His voice changed and deepened, "NO…It can't be!" Lex smirked, "Yes it's me, prepare to die!" Lex charged at Shien Long with both blades on at his chest, "I won't be easily defeated by a mere son of mine!" Shien raised up his hand and blocked the first attack that was meant to kill him quickly, Lex lunged at him again, but his enemy continued to block his every attack, but one event changed the pattern of their attacks, Lex was lunging forward Shien Long, he was stopped when he saw, "I believe this belongs to your precious host." He said holding a girl by the neck, "Let me go you big ape!!! Let me go!!!" Lex blinked, "Geni! You!! I'll kill you if you harm her. I swear on that!" Shien just smiled, "Let's see if you can follow us if I jump through time, OBLIVION!!!" he shouted this and a massive black hole opened up and his enemy jumped in it along with Geni, Lex follows Shien into the black hole, "Your not gonna get away that easy Shien! Bring me back Geni!!!" he shouted on pursuit of his loved one. Shien disappeared within the time vortex and Lex still in pursuit, after the vortex he arrived in a different timeline with Shien Long, "Give it up! You won't get away further than this." They both appeared in the courtyard of the Maverick Hunters Headquarters, several of their hunters stood and watched as two unfamiliar persons fought to death, "Give it up!" Shien smiled, "Never, I'll only give up if you fall down and worship me." Lex grunted and lunged forward with a death stab posture, "Not gonna happen even if I die!" Shien smirked, "If that's your choice. She dies!!" Shien formed his fingers like giant long claws, he put her down, she ran towards her love, Axl dashed towards her but Shien stabbed her through with his claws. "GENI!!! You! I'll kill you!!!" Lex went into berserk mode; his skills were now ranging from hack and slash, Enkoujin, K Knuckle, Rekkoha to Messenko, every hunter saw how this unknown person destroy his enemy with ease, his enemy fell down bathed in his own blood screeching for mercy, "Have mercy…" Lex grunted, "Mercy is for the weak. You killed her, now I'm gonna return you the favor." He stabbed Shien on the chest which made him laminate the whole courtyard. He ran towards Geni, "Geni…Geni…wake up…wake up!" she slowly opened her eyes, "Lex…is that you?" she was slowly dying, "Yes dear it's me…" she dragged herself up to kiss him, "Lex…I…I…lo…love…you" Lex was now crying, tears all welled up his eyes, "Save your strength love. Save your strength." He kissed her on her lips, then she slowly died, Zero who also saw the action along with X and Axl, Axl who was kind of hurt by the events ran towards the person in the courtyard, "Hey, are you alright?" the person looked up, Axl fell down in shock as he saw the appearance of the guy, they look closely alike, too close. "Axl what happened?!" Zero asked helping Axl get up, "It can't be! You? Are you?" The Lex walked towards his counterpart, "Yes it's me." Axl blinked and fainted. "Shit! Axl wake up!! Wake up!!" but no response, "I think he's in shock." The past Lex said standing up, "I'm sorry to cause all of these troubles, but I think help you in some way." Lex handed them an item which was centuries old, "What's this?" they all stared at the item with confusion…
