Rage followed Liam and Ike back to their home. As they enter the people who were outside were eyeing Rage like he was some demon or something. The kids lead him to a larger building and Ike knocks. Soon an older man opens the door and looks at them.
"Ah you two have returned and who is this you bring?" he asks
"Master Yama this is-" Ike starts but Yama stops him.
"I want to hear it from him." He says
"My name is Rage Chaotic…the last Chaos Guardian." Rage introduces himself. "These two children found my hidden chambers and woke me up."
"I see. So Rage, legends say you come from a time before the collapse of society. What was it like?" Yama asks.
"Well many large cities and towns. Use of different machines allowing flight and faster travel." Rage replies "Alas when The Great War came…it was all destroyed. The final year in my assault on Nix and his army was when the AC years began. Since the day I stopped and killed him I was put into a deep slumber."
"Yes that much we know." Yama says. "But tell me say Andrew is not a problem that dictates your service what is it you will do. You're chambers have been opened and location known to all."
"I will simply live in this era. For I defy the constraints of time. I am not immortal only unable to age. Now if I may ask a few questions about the world as it is in its present state?"
"Ask away." Yama says.
"The first thing I noticed when I was awoken was a strange energy flow through the world. Tell me has magic truly surfaced as a natural thing once again?" Rage asks
"It is true now many of use hold magic and can use it. There are very few who cannot." Yama answers.
"What is the current state of the world?" Rage asks.
"Dark. Andrew is slowly taking nation after nation. His seemingly endless supply of demon hordes makes it impossible to stop him." Yama replies "We have no chance against him when he arrives…any time now he will take our small village…"
"Not while I am here." Rage reassures him.
"But what can you do against an army of demons?" Ian asks "Sure you killed a few but there will be hundreds!"
"Have you forgotten?" Rage smiles "I am a Chaos Guardian! Slaying darkness and demons is second nature for me. Besides even with my power still returning no demon will survive a good Chaos Blast."
"I will put the village's defense in your hands then Rage." Yama says bowing his head. Rage nods and walks outside. Calmly he walks to the head of the village and looks at the incoming horde of demons as he summons his sword.
The demons reach the entrance and stop as a male figure clad in armor approaches the front. The head was that of a dark blue fox. His face had signs of previous battles all over it as his deep purple eyes glare at Rage. "Is this all? Are you the only defense this pathetic village has?" he asks.
"I am." Rage states simply raising his sword into a offensive manner.
"You?" The fox laughs at him before he continues "I admire your bravery young one." he states "But do you truly think you can destroy a whole army on your own?"
"I've done it before." Rage replies with a smile.
"Hmph...attack!" he yells. On his command the demons all rush the village where within people were observing the events as they unfold.
"He's doomed!" Ike grieves. "No one can take one that many foes demon or mobian at once!"
"Hmph." Rage smirks "Chaos Slash!" he shouts as he fires a beam of energy from his sword as he swings it. This destroys all of the demons with one fell swoop. "Low level familiar demons." Rage comments "Nothing more than a bug to me." he looks at the Fox who looked at this point enraged.
"Hmph! If you want something done you gotta do it yourself." he snarls drawing his sword. "State your name warrior so I may know whom to seek out for your next of kin."
"You first." Rage remarks. "Normally the challenger state's their name."
"Very well... My name is Nokris I am the great Bastion Warrior and head of King Andrew's Royal Guard." the fox announces.
"Well met, I am known as Rage Chaotic, The Chaos Guardian." Rage replies "Prepare yourself."
'A Chaos Guardian?' Nokris thinks 'That's not possible! They have been wiped out since before the collapse!' He took too much time thinking as he was suddenly hit from the side by Rage.
"Icy Chaos Blade!" Rage shouts as his sword gains a cold, frozen mist with his next strike that froze the part of Nokris' armor where he made contact. Nokris who was already beaten up from a previous battle backs up and sheaths his sword. Rage then stops his upcoming attack.
"Hmph, You have won this battle Chaos Warrior, but be warned had I not already be harmed from a previous battle I'd not leave so easily." he says staring a spell.
"Wait." Rage says grabbing him. "You go back and tell your little king that his days are numbered. I am coming to find him."
"You know naught of what you are getting into Chaos Warrior." Nokris scowls.
"I know enough." Rage shouts throwing him. "Oh and I told you, the name's Rage got that!" Rage glares at Nokris who uses a teleportation spell to vanish. Rage turns around and sees Yama, Ike and Liam standing at the gate to the village.
"You have our thanks Rage." Yama says "It is a true blessing that our two young ones found you when they did."
"Yeah, if they didn't stumble across my hidden chamber who knows what the outcome of all this could have been." Rage answers.
"Still how was it they were able to figure out the hidden passphrase?" Yama asks "Even our greatest scholars could not answer it. Let alone find your chamber."
"I purposely made it so that it would be near impossible to crack except by someone who has a pure heart and knows how to think outside of the box. Most people think light and darkness are mere legends and myths to justify right from wrong. The truth is light and darkness is a real form of energy. I am as close to pure light as possible however even the brightest light has darkness. Just as the darkest of all darkness has light somewhere within."
"I see..." Yama nods stroking his long beard. "Well we must get you ready for your journey ahead. I can't send you out without any knowledge of the way Mobius is now. After all a lot has happened since your battle 2500 years ago."
"Alright let's do it." Rage agrees following Yama, Ike and Liam back into the village and then to Yama's home once again.
