Well here's the third chapter. I know I know it took like 2 weeks but of course school and my position in the school paper comes first than writing for pleasure. I also confess that I procrastinated on my free time and played Grand Chase instead (Yes, I am, in fact, an active player.) Well here's a rather short chapter that leads to the finale of the "Test Your Might" sequence. It took me a while to think on how Quagmire could beat Amy as I am not familiar with Amy's skills and controls (I don't really like her :P) So I did it Patapon style (You'll see when you read it.) And also as something of a mouth waterer, I invented/coined/thought of/ made and included Quagmire's first skill here :O

I still do not know whether I should put couplings in this story. Any Suggestions?

And of course here's the Disclaimer

"I do not own Grand Chase or any of it's Rights. I am merely a fan and a player of the Game. I do, however own my OC's.

"I'll never forgive you Quagmire... for you to leave me behind for strangers... I don't know you anymore." Will said as he walked out of Kazeaze's castle.

"The next one's Sieghart huh?" Quagmire said to himself as he walked to the next area. "He's a gladiator? Aren't gladiators extinct now? Ever since it was considered a inhumane sport, duelling has died down for the past hundred years. I didn't know they still had gla-" Quagmire didn't even have the chance to finish the sentence as he saw Sieghart, sword at the ready, a few paces from where he was standing.

"So you've finally got this far?" Sieghart said as he unsheathed his sword.

"Apparently I have." Quagmire said as he readied his own weapon.

"Whenever you're ready." Sieghart said as he took a battle stance.

Quagmire and Sieghart circled each other in hopes finding an opening. After a while of circling, Sieghart did something unexpected. He threw the sword's scabbard at Quagmire. Quagmire proceeded to swat the scabbard out of the air as to prevent himself being hit with it but in doing so, created an opening. Sieghart took advantage of this opening and ran at Quagmire hitting him with his sword's hilt in the stomach. Quagmire fell to his knees as he was reeling from the pain.

"Stand up!" Sieghart said. "I didn't wait all day for you to get beaten that easy."

Quagmire stood up and picked up his shears. Sieghart once again tried to land another hit on Quagmire but it was met with Quagmire's shears. As their weapons locked, Sieghart kicked sand into Quagmire's face causing him to take a step back and try to brush off the sand which was in his face. Sieghart took this opportunity and charged at Quagmire ramming him with his shoulder making Quagmire fly off two meters from where he used to be standing.

"You'll never beat me with that strength." Sieghart said as he walked over to where Quagmire was. "Don't worry; this'll only knock you out."

Sieghart then raised his sword over his head ready to bring it crashing down on Quagmire. Quagmire saw and opening and kicked Sieghart's left shin. The act caused Sieghart to lose his footing and stumble to his knees. Quagmire took this chance to stand up and pick up his shears which he left behind when he was sent flying. By the time Quagmire was ready to fend off an attack with his shears, Sieghart has already regained his composure, but, there was something different. Sieghart was at a slouch, he was dragging around his sword and the pupils of his eyes we're smaller.

"Err... Sieghart? What's wrong? I did hit you in the shins right, not in the... well y'know?" Quagmire said as he dropped his guard. Little did Quagmire know that Sieghart was now in rage mode, something that was mastered by only the best gladiators.

Before Quagmire could process what was happening Sieghart dashed at him full speed. Quagmire had only enough time to raise his guard but not to prevent the attack. Sieghart slashed at him three times the last hit sending him to the sky.

"Grinding Punisher!" Sieghart said as he executed a sort of uppercut with his sword, flinging more sand around.

Quagmire was able to block the first attack effectively but it still flung him high into the air. Before he could recover he saw Sieghart preparing for another hit. This next hit was only partially guarded by Quagmire and sent him flying meters from where he stood before. He landed with a thud his shears just barely missing him as it fell from the sky. He struggled to get back on his feet when he saw Sieghart popping up from the bushes still with the crazed look in his eyes. Quagmire had to think fast if he had any chance of beating, let alone surviving the encounter with the gladiator.

"I need time to think." Quagmire thought as Sieghart was getting closer and closer and he was looking around. Quagmire's face lit up as he saw a familiar sight. "Selibrium!" He said as he remembered a thing his father taught him.

My son, Selibrium is one of the most essential tools for us gardeners. It not only makes good medicine, but a concentrated dosage can be enough to put a grown man to sleep in seconds. You'll easily find it growing at the foot of an oak tree and is easily identifiable by its purple leaves and green fruit.

This was one of the last things Quagmire had learned from his father turned gardening mentor.

Quagmire rolled out of the way of Sieghart's charged and ran towards the Selibrium and picked it. Now that Quagmire had the Selibrium, the next step that needed figuring out was how to get it into Sieghart's system. Quagmire thought hard and finally got an idea.

"If I make him angry enough for him to cry out, I might be able to get it in his mouth. I doubt he'll like it though." Quagmire thought as he had concluded that it was the only way.

Quagmire then climbed a tree and picked an acorn off a tree and threw it at Sieghart, making him even angrier. Sieghart chopped at the tree with his sword and sent it tumbling down. Quagmire was fortunately quick enough to get out of the tree before it fell to the ground. He then took another acorn from the next tree and threw it at Sieghart. Sieghart yelled in anger, Quagmire saw this chance and jumped out of the tree. He jumped in an arch over Sieghart and dropped the sprig of Selibrium into Sieghart's mouth as he yelled. A few seconds later, Sieghart fell to his knees as his muscles involuntarily relaxed.

"I guess even a dose that big only relaxes your muscles and doesn't tranquilize you." Quagmire said as he walked towards Sieghart.

By this time, Sieghart had gotten a hold of himself and was calming down.

"I'm sorry Quagmire, but I tend to lose it when I get angry." Sieghart said sheepishly. "I hope I didn't cause any serious injuries."

"None at all." Quagmire said. "Although I do apologize, because the Selibrium will only wear off after a few hours."

"Oh don't worry, I enjoy sitting under the sky." Sieghart said with a smile. "The next one is Amy; she doesn't like to be kept waiting. She has quite a temper."

"Yeah, I best be going. You sure you'll be alright here?" Quagmire said as he walked towards the horizon.

"Yeah I'll be fine." Sieghart said as he laid on his back and relaxed.

"Amy huh?" Quagmire said as he was walking to the next area. "She said she was a dancer, but I don't see how a dancer can be converted to a fighter."

As Quagmire was walking he saw Amy on top of the hill a few paces away from where he was. He walked up to Amy and tapped her on the shoulder so that he could get her attention. Amy then punched Quagmire sending him tumbling down the hill.

"Sorry! But you surprised me and my fist kinda acted on its own." Amy said running down the hill to attend to Quagmire.

"It's fine," Quagmire said "It's best we start with the test so as to not waste time." He said as he got up from the dirt.

"Okay!" Amy said as she picked up her chakrams.

"Whenever you're ready." Quagmire said as he readied his own weapon.

To Quagmire's surprise, Amy wasn't in a battle stance at all; she was dancing.

"What're you doing?" Quagmire asked.

Amy didn't answer but instead did a dance move that flung her chakram right into Quagmire and knocked him off balance. Before Quagmire could recover, Amy followed up with a quick kick from above and hit Quagmire. She then withdrew and started dancing again.

"So that's how a dancer fights." Quagmire said as he was getting up.

As soon as Quagmire was on his feet however, Amy charged at him again swinging her chakrams in a circular motion hitting Quagmire with the right then the left chakram in rapid succession then she finished with another kick which sent Quagmire across the area. Quagmire managed to do a falling recovery and landed on his feet. He looked up and saw that Amy was once again charging at him. He raised his shears to block the incoming attack.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Snikt! Chaka! Clang! Clang! Ting!

The shears rang as Amy hit it with her chakrams and grinded against its blades. Amy again withdrew after the eighth hit. She then jumped in the air and threw both of her chakrams at Quagmire, although this time Quagmire managed to block.

Clang! Clang!

The chakrams rang as they hit the shears. Amy then followed up by kicking at the shears with the heel of her boot.

Clang!

As the boots hit the shears, she used the other foot to grind the blades again, against her boot.

Snikt!

Amy then threw a two punch combination at Quagmire.

Chaka!

Amy did a backflip and picked up her chakrams from behind her then jumped up in the air and hit the shears twice as she was landing.

Clang! Clang!

She followed with a quick roundhouse kick with her right foot making Quagmire slide back.

Ting!

She then withdrew after this last hit.

"Is it me or is she fighting in rhythm?" Quagmire thought as she looked at Amy dancing a few paces away from himself. "I'll try this then."

Boom! Boom! Ksss!

Quagmire's shears hissed as he pounded the ground and grinded it against the path. He pounded louder and louder before Amy charged again to initiate another attack.

Amy seemed distracted at the ambient sound which Quagmire's shears we're making as she threw her chakrams. This time only one met its mark on Quagmire's guard.

Clang!

She followed with a kick as what she did before.

Clang!

She grinded her foot against the shear's blades.

Snikt!

She was about to throw the two punches,

Cha-

When it was suddenly cut off. Quagmire had grabbed her wrist and stopped the second punch. Quagmire then stabbed the shears into the ground creating a sort of fulcrum beneath Amy's centre of gravity. He did a quick turn and pulled Amy's hand over his shoulder as he kicked the shears behind him catapulting Amy forwards. Amy flew across the air into a trunk of a tree.

"Ow!" Amy screamed as she was clutching her head from the pain.

"Are you okay?" Quagmire asked as he ran over to her.

"I'm fine. Just a bit shaken." Amy said managing a smile. "Don't worry about me, a pack of ice and I'll be fine. Don't keep Ronan waiting though. He's a noble and he doesn't appreciate tardiness."

"Are you sure you're okay?"

"Positive."

"Then I better get going."

"Strong, Quick, and Thinks on his feet." Kazeaze said as she gazed into the black mist. "He will make a perfect addition to my army of darknes..."

"I never actually got the chance to know who Ronan was." Quagmire thought to himself as he walked to the next area. "I know that he's famous and a noble but what else is he? I know he carries a sword but then again I doubt he only does swordsmanship."

"I couldn't help over hearing." A voice said from above Quagmire.

"Who's there?" Quagmire said as he looked around.

"Me, Ronan." Ronan said as he emerged from the vegetation. "For your information, I am a spell knight. Somewhat a cross between Arme and Elesis." Ronan said as he circled Quagmire.

"What do you mean?" Quagmire asked as he followed with his eyes Ronan's every move.

"Something like this." Ronan said as he threw a red ball of energy at Quagmire.

Quagmire rolled out of the way and readied his shears. Ronan unsheathed his sword and charged at Quagmire. Quagmire blocked the first swing of Ronan's sword but Ronan followed up with the same red bolt of energy which Quagmire did not expect. Quagmire got hit by the ball of energy and felt his limbs get numb. Ronan then grabbed his chest and threw him to the ground.

Quagmire then felt his limbs again and immediately got up. "So that's what you mean with Spell knight."

"Pretty much."

Ronan then drew a Rune in front of him and stabbed through it. Quagmire rolled out of the way and kicked Ronan's shins toppling him over. Quagmire raised the shears above his head in hopes of pinning Ronan down but Ronan rolled out of the way. He recovered his stance and cast another spell which sent a white orb to Quagmire. Quagmire dodged the orb and it hit the tree behind him. The Tree then exploded with shards of ice and was frozen solid.

"I've no choice. I'm going to have to use that..." Quagmire thought as he looked in disbelief at the frozen tree.

Quagmire then crouched down and concentrated. Ronan, unfazed by his opponent's weird stance, then charged at him. He raised his sword above his head but before he could send it crashing down on Quagmire, Quagmire yelled "Hail of Steel!" With that, Quagmire did a quick sweeping kick which Ronan dodged by taking a step back. Quagmire then separated the two blades of his shears from the fulcrum and then started swinging madly at Ronan. Ronan tried his best to block the flurry of attacks but at the fifth hit, his sword escaped his grasp. Quagmire then reattached the blades forming the shears again and opened its jaws wide enough to accommodated Ronan's neck.

Ronan then threw his arms in the air as a sign of surrender and Quagmire lowered his shears.

"Where did you learn that?" Ronan asked.

"Well I once used it to cut through a hedge that was a hindrance to my father's garden." Quagmire said with a smile. "I never thought I could've used it in battle."

Ronan chuckled. "You really are a gardener's son."

"No doubt about that." Quagmire answered.

"Well don't keep Elesis waiting. She's been dying to get her hands on you."

"I've never thought I would be unhappy to know a girl wanted to get her hands on me." Quagmire said as he laughed. Ronan then joined his fit of laughter.

"Well I best be going to the next area before it gets dark." Quagmire said gesturing to the sun which was almost setting.

"You best be."

Quagmire then walked off on the path and pondered on how he would beat the last Chaser which waited for him in the next area.

That concludes Chapter 3. Hope it wasn't too suckish. Read, Review, Suggest.
