The Past

It was a few days later when Cyborg had just finished updating the tower that Shinku started feeling a strange magic in the air. He mentioned it to Raven and she agreed that something wasn't right. Once Cyborg had explained that they needed to keep up with the times he suddenly disappeared.

"Before anyone says anything I didn't touch anything." BB said holding up his hands in defense. Shinku acted first and began chanting a long spell that would send an astral projection of himself to where or when ever Cyborg was.

His projection arrived over a massive battle arrived over a large battle with green insect like monsters fighting some ancient warriors. He observed the battle and watched as at first Cyborg avoided fighting the monsters but after seeing a warrior about to be killed he started using the sonic cannon to fight back. He was hailed as a hero for helping them win the battle and was brought back to their village where he was allowed a main seat at the feast.

"I found him." He said knowing that the other titans would hear him "He's about four thousand years into the past." With that he returned to observing the situation, noticing that one of the warriors did not seem to appreciate Cyborg's help. That night he snuck off to some cave in the mountains to do something, while Cyborg tried to create a recharging station for his batteries. Late the next evening another attack began and out of nowhere another warrior appeared. He was taller than Cyborg by about an inch, his head shaved with a black Chinese dragon circling the top of it. He wore an identical outfit to Shinku and carried the Magus Sword that gave off a slight dark aura, one that Shinku had never seen come off of it before.

'So that is the last warrior to use the Magus Sword. It seems to reject him as its master.' He thought as he observed the fighting. Cyborg was not using the sonic cannon and was now fighting with a sword that another warrior had thrown him. Shinku's attention was focused on his predecessor and he watched as he wielded the blade with much more finesse than he himself used, treating it like an extension of his arm. Cyborg and Shinku's predecessor both realizing that the monsters would keep coming out of the meteors that had it the ground they both ran to break the dam at the end of the village to destroy the rocks. Cyborg used his bare hands to break the supports while the other slashed through them with a single slash. Bracing themselves they watched as the water poured out and destroyed the meteors, saving the entire tribe.

"Dude that was great." Cyborg said as he patted the warriors back.

"I thank you strange warrior. That was a good plan to destroy the dam to stop the constant stream of foes." He grinned as he sheathed the magus sword "My name is Kasaku, and who are you?"

"Cyborg. Is that the Magus Sword?" he asked as he stared at the blade.

"Aye. How did you know? Only skilled mages have ever heard of it or even fewer know what it looks like." Kasaku said shocked.

"I've seen it before. The truth is I'm from the future, and I have fought beside another of you guys that serve the Wheel of Fate. He wields the Magus Sword. Though without that dark aura."

"He has tamed the blade? Then he must be a great warrior. If you are from the future than why did you come here?"

"I didn't come here willingly. Some magic forced me here."

"The witch. She was awoken not long ago, which means that she was obeying her master's orders while disobeying them." They then cut their conversation short when the tribesmen came running towards them praising them for saving the village. Later that night the tribesman that had gone to the mountains told Cyborg to come with him. He led him up to a cave high in the mountains where it was revealed that he was the one who had revived the witch and was offering him to go home. Cyborg turned him down and they fought until the witch bestowed her master with greater power, transforming him into a monster that would now lead the others. He threw Cyborg off a high cliff which eventually led him into the repaired dam. Cyborg awoke to the tribesman having used a waterwheel to restore a small amount of his energy to him, enough where he could help him. They all proceeded to prepare to battle including Kasaku who simply honed the Magus sword and waited for the enemy to attack.

The attack came at dusk and Cyborg outfitted with the armor and weapons of the tribesman helped fend off the attack. Near the climax of the battle the traitor attacked himself defeating the woman who was the leader of the tribe. Cyborg took off a glove and prepared to fire the sonic cannon when Ravens magic grabbed him and began to pull him back. Firing off that one shot Shinku watched as it blasted off the arm that was holding her, leaving her the opening for victory. Pulling his projection back he saw that Kasaku nodded to him as he left, realizing that he had seen him the entire time.

Shinku awoke to hear Cyborg leaving the room, clearly upset that they had saved him at the climax of that battle.

"Raven. Look in your books, you'll find the battle he was in. It will provide closure." Shinku said as he yawned. Later that night he and Raven went and showed Cyborg that they had won the battle.

"If it is any constellation your sonic cannon opened the path to victory. You blew off the arm that he was holding her with and gave her the chance for victory."

"How do you know?" Cyborg asked.

"I was observing the entire time you were there." Shinku said "How do you think that they knew when you were."

"I met one of your predecessors."

"Yes. The last one to wield the Magus Sword before me. He was one of our bravest warriors, and it was a shame that he died. He went to fight the witch once they had defeated the army. It was a kamikaze attack that killed her and himself." Shinku said.

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be. I never knew him, and he died as he had lived. Saving those who could not save themselves." Shinku grinned as he walked out "Keep that armor, it will be a sign that you did something that marks you as an incredible individual who was willing to abandon his home to save others." Shinku then left Cyborg's room, thinking about how his predecessor had fought, deciding that it was time that he perfected his swordsmanship.
