Ok that was not a few days. I'm sorry guys I've been studying for my finals and right when I was about to start writing my computer crashes on me :(. Anyways without further waiting, THE NEXT CHAPTER!

Enjoy!

Chapter 9: The Biggest Threat

No one had expected the Kraken to survive an attack like that, not even Brianna. By this time Jack's sword had already turned back into his normal wand and he was almost out of power. Everyone had a difficult time seeing and breathing due to the ash still in the arena's air. It was silent, too silent even for the Kraken. When Seth coughed the Kraken saw his chanced and moved quicker than lightning to attack him. He knew he was the healer so his intensions were not letting anyone else heal. He kicked him right off the platform and into the water.

"Seth!" Everyone looked back as he landed in the water. They looked back at the kraken but he was gone. He was nowhere in the arena or anywhere in sight at all. Everyone was on edge. As Seth got back on the arena the Kraken had stricken again! It seemed he didn't want Seth in the remains of the arena at all considering he was constantly monitoring the healer.

"Looks like we're going to have to fight without a healer guys, it's going be a hell of a battle." Nia said, she was in a serious fighting mood now. Gabriel's hands were starting to get sweaty and he clenched his wand in anxiety. Everyone was looking around for the Kraken and seeing as how they couldn't find him before this task was nearly impossible. Brianna had seen a glimpse of purple for one second and blasted at the area. You could hear the Kraken taunting them, even though they couldn't see him. His chuckle echoed through the air.

"Fools. You realize I'm too quick for you don't you? The only one who's seen me so far is the fire girl and even she couldn't hit me! What kind of a chance do you have if even she couldn't lay a finger on me?" Right then and there Chris had an idea, since electric currents flow through a natural storm he put his palm on the ground and looked for where the most electricity was. He found it was creeping up on him so without hesitating he used a technique that Marlon had taught him recently. He pushed his hand on to the ground and a gravestone popped up right behind him! Not seeing this coming the Kraken had tripped and before he could move Chris had raised a few ghouls to hold him down.

"Wow, where'd you learn to do that!" Sabrina was most eager since she was a natural death but only a initiate.

"I have a great teacher, but let's talk about that later. Now let's not waste any time, the ghouls can't hold him for much longer, do what you have to!" Knowing what they have to do they don't spare a moment. They each unleashed their most devastating attack they had. Everyone wanted to make sure the Kraken would finally die. The resulting attacks caused a huge dust storm around the arena.

You could still hear his breathing but they were his dying breaths, the attacks proved to be more than enough to kill the Kraken. His dying words saying "You may have … defeated me. But … there are more like me … stronger than I. One of them … is in that cave over … there." And he was gone. He had perished but why would he warn them that there are stronger beings than him? Was he just trying to scare them? Or perhaps he really wanted them to fight on. His reasons will never be known. They do know that he was indeed telling the truth though, for once they had reached the cave a powerful gust of wind blew past them.

"Do you guys feel that?"

"You mean that feeling that someone's watching? Yea. Something is definitely waiting for us."

"I don't think we're ready for what's up ahead guys. Even with Brianna and Nia by our side, I have the feeling we're going die for sure if we go in now."

"You may be right Seth. I've never felt his power this powerful, it's unreal. It's stronger than ever. Can't imagine what krokopatra's like now." Nia said with a grim face on. Normally the two powerful mages could help but this was a limited fighting quest.

"Guys, let's do what we did last time and train for a few weeks again. We'll meet up in front of this cave once it's been three weeks this time. We need all the experience we can get." Jack was the first to say his goodbye's and left. Each person left as they went to random areas to train even more. The only ones who remained were Nia and Brianna.

"Do you think we should report what happened here to Ambrose?" Nia's question was a good one. As headmaster he is responsible for what happens in the city.

"Well Ambrose can see what's happening through his crystal orb so I'm sure he knows what's going on. For now let's just go back to school, we haven't been there recently and I think the teachers deserve to know what's going on." With that everyone was gone.

In a room there watched a familiar face, the one they call Malistare was looking into his red crystal ball.

"Interesting, these children are doing surprisingly well against my super advanced army. I have made this army much stronger than usual with increased health, strength, and even defense yet they still defeat them. These children could be more dangerous than I thought. I might have to send in my greatest assassin before it's too late." A shadowy figure came in the room kneeling before him.

"Did you need me sir?" it was a girls voice and she sounded very loyal to him.

"No need. For now. I'll call you in when you are needed." And with that she left leaving him to think if he really will need to call her in.

*3 weeks later*

Everyone started to regroup at the cave. One by one they came to the cave, they may have all looked the same but two things were different. Their powers and wands. The wands had changed forms since the last time they met. Its forms advance along with the wielders power. When everyone regrouped Chris was the one to lead them since he knew the area the best. They had passed by many enemies that had looked like the harvest lord. They gave them a glare that told them 'leave and never return!' but the group went onward. They had reached a castle that looked abandoned for centuries and had the feeling it was haunted. As they entered no one was in there, just cobwebs and books on the shelf.

"Um … is anyone home?" Everyone looked around seeing nothing but darkness and books.

"Who dares awaken me?!" a shadowy figure arose from the middle of the ground. He looked like the grim reaper except instead of a scythe on the staff, it was a sickle. His face covered by the shading of his hood. The only thing you could see was his bright glowing eyes.

"Are you Lord Nightshade?" Seth finally asked.

"I am."

"We are wizards sent here to defeat you by Headmaster Merle Ambrose. Give up and stop your reign of terror over Triton Avenue or face the consequences." Seth had made his point loud and clear to Nightshade, and was fully prepared to fight.

"Well then. LET'S JUST SEE WHAT YOU GOT!"

YEA got the chapter done! Again guys I'm sorry the story was delayed for so long and if it wasn't for my crash I probably could've posted earlier. Anyways I shall be introducing new characters in the next chapter!

I'm just working on how I should introduce everyone for now but later on I promise they WILL be in the story.

*IMPORTANT NOTE*

Starting from now every OC choice will have the opportunity to be either evil or good. The ones already submitted will stay good. I won't need that many evil just around 5-6.

Until next time guys!
