Action: We're on a roll and not stopping.

Kai: It's all almost ready. Sadly I thought I would be a main character longer with Tyler being the lead character for sixty-plus chapters.

Blaze: Oh, did Action not tell you that you and Tyler will be sharing the lead character role?

Axel: What!

Nexus: I knew that.

Action: Can we please get on with it, I'm excited and yet sad at the same time to see this book end.

Tyler: Last time: We had some fantastic matches with my friends against the ESA students. My favorite was the exhibition match between Jason and Arthur, a fight I haven't seen in a long time. So far three students have passed the final exam: Nexus, Pollon, and Corrode. Let's not forget Nix took her failure to pass a bit hard and fell victim to her father's advance.

Blaze: Action doesn't own Pokemon, music links, or art if used.


~Sydney's~

(Lively Days - Shadowverse)

"I'm glad the rest of you are here and we have another ten matches. Will anyone else pass or will we only have three successful students?" Lumino was sure to get the crowd riled up. As expected of our Dean. Only ten students remain and of them are Percival, Kai, and I. With a snap of Lumino's finger, our faces spun on the screen.

I wonder who I could be up against, the worst opponents would be Axel, Aristotle, or Tyler. Both are top-tier fighters and in training they would never go all out. I then noticed my face appeared first and next to it was Blaze Two. The ninja of Ferrum. From stories, he would tell he experimented with blood and even created a virus. In the end, he helped his friends with medicines and experiments. Reminds me of what I do with my roots and flowers. Not many know but I'm a bit of an herbalist and believe in the help of natural medicine and aromas. The number of times I've helped Percival I can't count. I feel in a way it's funny we get to fight.

"I'm in the second match and I'm against Axel," Percival had a smile on his face and I could understand why. He's up against the second-strongest fighter in the region.

"Good for you," I was all bubbly.

"I'm sure we'll both pass, we have to," Percival said the last part solemnly.

"Today's final match will be between Kai Blaze and Tyler Loft," Lumino cheered and both Percy and I turned towards the Flareon. He had a blank expression on his face as if he was trying to comprehend what was said. He did state he's a huge Tyler fan and he was his instructor. Now he has to go up against him in a full-on fight. "Now everyone clear the field except for Sydney Stone and Blaze Two," Lumino commanded. All complied.

"The Princess of the Forest, a title I made for you in the Class Change Tournament," Blaze was standing beside me.

"As I've come to learn you are the ninja of Ferrum," we both laughed.

"Remember that title because you will need it for what's to happen next," Blaze then started to walk away. I did the same.

"Let's get a move on! The field is clear and it seems these two are ready to rumble!" Dean Lumino seems to be getting into this.

"Also don't be alarmed, I'm not the typical Noivern," that's for sure he's mint green.

"3 . . 2 . . 1, Battle Begin!" Lumino kicked off our match.

(When Mother Was There (Remix) - P5D)

Blaze kicked off the match and he came zooming at me in a fit of sparks. I stood still instead of flexing my muscles so they could Bulk Up, so I took the attack head-on. It only pushed me back as it's not a very effective move.

"What are you getting at by using a move like that?" Almost felt like he was trying to lose.

"Don't worry, you'll see," he said as he used the same Wild Charge to move at an alarming pace. Next thing I knew he was no longer in my vision. When I next blinked I saw the dragon appear again and this time with a cross. X-Scissor, I can't dodge. I took the attack head-on as he hit me in the side knocking me over. Using the momentum I got back on my hooves.

"What's the deal with the physical attacking moves?" I asked. His moveset isn't one of a normal Noivern.

"I told you I'm not normal, let's just say I'm a product of an experiment gone wrong," the shiny dragon laughed. Fine then I can't fight him head to head, this is going to be a defensive fight.

'I don't think so you will fight my way,' Blaze's voice invaded my head. What the fuck.

"Your ability is Telepathy," I lost sight of him. A light green cross came at me with sparks behind it.

"Correct, but that's not the only trick I have," he attacked me again. If he keeps using Wild Charge like this he will surely run out of energy. He came to a halt and I had the ORB scan the status of the battle and he's already down to seventy percent. That's when he flapped his wings and kneeled as if he was resting. Then his stamina went back up to a hundred percent.

"With a perfectly executed Roost Blaze is ready to resume the fight at full strength what will Sydney do?" Lumino announced and he was right, what would I do? I'm at a disadvantage.

'Use my power, luck will be on your side,' I heard the high-pitched voice of my Overseer Vince Rune. He's right I'll have to use the power of the stars to get through this. I then felt my muscles flex and then two tarot cards appeared in front of me. With training, I was able to use some of Vince's power without mega-evolving. The first card was the Hanged Man in the reversed position. I gasped at it and looked at the second it was the four of Pentacles. Both are bad options in my opinion. I ran past the Pentacles card and the buff I was given was speed and special defense boost while my special attack went down. I then ran at Blaze who was recovering from his Roost and I was ready to Play Rough. He came at me covered in electricity and we clashed. He still had the upper hand in our exchange and was able to strike me in my hooves with X-Scissor.

"How are you able to strike me in my weak spots?" We crossed paths and looked at each other.

"Let's just say I have a special eye as a gift of hardship," he winked. He then disappeared in a fit of sparks. This isn't good. I then made three tarot cards appear in front of me. The first was the Magician reversed and for this situation, it wouldn't be too bad. The second is the Hermit in the upright position. Lastly, the nine swords, I think there is an obvious answer. I passed the Hermit and instantly a shield appeared around me as Blaze came crashing into it. I can't fight like this. While under the protection of my card I flexed my muscles so I could Bulk Up once more.

(Fairy Forest - Shadowverse)

"Seems like it's time to escalate this fight," He jumped back and wave dashed like a ninja. He then reached for his ring and then the Roman numeral for three appeared on his chest. He then got trapped in a case of white and his shell broke. I was in awe of seeing my teacher change into a steel grass dragon. A delta Noivern stood before me and he's still surging with electricity. My shield broke as now the field was covered in leaves. So he is now a forest ninja.

"How about the forest ninja fight the Princess of the Forest," I was smug as I stomped my hooves to reveal the Roman numeral for two. I got trapped in a case of white. My fur grew longer as vines grew along my horns. The grass along my back grew and leaves extended from my collar. My cage broke and I'm ready to fight. Stomping my hooves The ground shook and started to split and spike out. Blaze was forced to dodge and left my line of sight but he won't make it far.

"I've anticipated your move," I jumped up prepared for a Play Rough.

"Your prediction was right, but you're too slow," he taunted and flew up as I got trapped in a storm of petals.

"Petal Blizzard won't knock me down!" I screamed.

"I didn't think so," Blue lightning started to charge around Blaze. Channeling the power of Victini it's in my best interest to use one of his moves. Scarlet flames charged around me as I charged toward Blaze.

"Searing Shot!" I shouted.

"Bolt Strike!" Blaze came at me causing an explosion. I landed on the ground and I had to shake my fur as I did catch fire for a second. I then realized I felt electricity run through my body. This is paralysis.

"Seems like you're still standing though that paralysis is a second effect of Bolt Strike, but it seems you got me with burn," Blaze had many scorches all over his body. I did hit him with a four-time effective move. He then got into position if he was going to use Roost again and if I let that happen I would lose. With everything I could five tarot cards appeared in front of me to my surprise all of them shattered and then a singular card appeared in front of me. It was the World in the upright position, this is the perfect card to get. It then consumed me and my status healed and not just that, all my stats were raised by one.

"Now's my chance," I dashed toward Blaze once more covered in flames. He wasn't prepared for me so all he could do was stare in shock. I blitzed past him and that was it.

"We have a winner for our first match of the day. Sydney Stone!" Lumino announced my victory and I looked at our status and I brought Blaze down to twenty percent. Seems like it wasn't a complete win but I still passed.

(Keves Battle - Xenoblade Chronicles 3)

"I will no longer tolerate failure. After today you and Sydney are on standby till further notice. Yet you will not be punished as your little expedition has helped our research almost to completion. It did help that I had MT's son's notes to work off of," The voice came from my ORB as it was an audio-only call.

"I-I understand," I hesitated for a moment. Being free from the shadow program I felt happy but I'll have to if I don't want Sydney to be a victim as well.

"You do know why we do this?" The authority of the voice was enough for me to get rid of my hesitation.

"To help the world achieve greater strength," I replied.

"Good," now go pass your exam. The audio call ended. I sat there in the waiting room with my thoughts. I only agreed because of the chaos Kanto was plunged into but now I'm not so sure we can control this power and how will it help me save Kanto let alone my family. When my heart was closed off it was as if I had two different personalities within me. I was split between good and bad compared to me now as I'd to think as a whole with the good and the bad. Ugh, I'm not much of a thinker so why do I feel frustrated?

"Percy it's time for your match," Sydney walked into my waiting room with a concerned look. She looked at me as if she knew I just got off the phone with our boss.

"Thanks for getting me and can you promise me something?" For the first time in a while, I had a smile on my face.

"Of course," her response was quick.

"No matter how far I fall in the shadow project, please bring me back," I then walked past her because I knew if I stayed for a response I would shatter. Walking out to the battlefield was a nice change of pace and scenery compared to what I just dealt with.

"We finished one match and we're headed straight to the next," Lumino got the crowd going. I saw my opponent, the infamous Axel Dark and runner-up in Ferrum's Summer Festival, not to mention one of the top three ranked college students.

"You done spacing out? I didn't tutor you to get psyched out by your opponent," Axel's eyes were cold like his words. How does he have any friends with that attitude, however, you could say the same for me.

"Sorry, just getting myself psyched up for the fight," I got in a fighting stance.

"Don't apologize, this is a fight after all," menacing as ever he prepared himself.

(Vector to the Heavens - Kingdom Hearts)

"Looks like both are ready so let's start! 3 . . 2 . . 1, Battle Begin!" Lumnio cheered.

"I'll let you know there are four levels of combat for me," Axel kicked off the fight with a conversation. "I was told not to use anything past level four. That's power equal to those who are your examiners for this final. Though if I deem it necessary I'm allowed to go to level four," he stood there as if waiting for me to attack.

"If you won't attack, I will," I blitzed him with fantastic speed. No one can withstand Extreme Speed.

"Devil Combo Six: Demon Shield," Axel made a black ball appear in front of him and then trapped him. I've never seen him use this in any of his matches. "This is a Devil Combo I've had on the back burner. Why not test it during an exam," he was all nonchalant. I struck the shield and it didn't even crack. "Devil Combo xros six," the shield then trapped me in it.

"What is this? This isn't a normal Pokemon move," I was frustrated as it would break.

"On the contrary, my combos stem from my moves except for a few. This one uses Dark Pulse. Even then with standard regulation, I can use all my combos," He lectured me with a scowl as if I learned nothing. "Devil combo six: Final Gambit!" The bubble popped and I was back on the battlefield with no injuries. What did he just do to me? Whatever it's my turn to get a hit in. I needed to prepare the battlefield, the edge was traced with flames and a ring of water.

"Welcome to my battlefield," Axel scoffed at my statement. Calling upon the water rin and flame ting I charged both energies in my mouth. As I unleashed Hydro Pump and Fire Blast simultaneously.

"What power but you're going to need more than power to take down Axel," Lumino commented. What does he mean by that? I then heard a snap and saw Axel snapped his claws. I then noticed my attack completely disappeared and so did my rings. What is this power?

"By the way, you are at level two," Axel stood there unphased. I need to do combos instead of basic attacks. Disappearing in the blink of an eye I was dashing around him using Extreme speed waiting for an opening. "If you're looking for an opening let me make this harder for you," A purple mist then appeared from his body covering the whole battlefield. "Devil Combo Two: Poison Mist," he was right, it made it hard for me to see him. I realized that when I inhaled it instantly forced me to cough. So it truly is poison. I jumped up to get out of the mist and Axel was there waiting for me.

"Damn, maybe you should be called a ninja unlike Blaze," I joked mid-fight.

"Nah, others commonly call me the Demon Dragon," he prepared to attack. He then started to spin and it looked as if he transformed into a saw. He came slicing arcos me twice. "Devil Combo Seven: Hell Saw," how many combos does he know? I quickly regained myself and chased after him.

"Let's Play Rough," We collided crashing into the stadium floor. I got off him and the mist still surrounded us. When he got up he didn't look too phased. I thought he was a dragon/fairy type move that should've been super effective.

"I know you may be surprised but I'm not a normal noivern shown as I have no wings and the color scheme difference. I would like to say I'm a different form and my type is Poison and Dragon," he smirked. I think it's time to go all out and show them my true power.

(You Will Know Our Names, Finale (Full Mix) - Xenoblade Chronicles 3)

"Thanks for the knowledge and now I know how to beat you," I prepared.

'Paula I fully accept you as my Overseer, please lend me your strength,' I begged the space dragon.

'I'm glad you will finally accept your duty. I, Paula Nami the Overseer of Percival Grimwater grant you my true power,' the Pokemon ruler of space answered my call. I tapped my bracer as the Roman numeral for four appeared in front of me. Flames and water enveloped me as I got trapped in a case of white. I grew small horns as my fur messed with the water making the cream color parts of my fur blue as well as my black stripes. My body fur is black now and I grew a blue crystal on my chest. My shell broke and a bunch of steam rose.

"Percival has now revealed a new form everyone, what will he show us?" Lumino cheered me on.

"This is what I like to see. Seems like you are using your power so I can as well," Axel's eyes then glowed and I found it hard to move. If he has power like this from just using his eyes how strong is he? Time to test out Paula's power. My body glows purple as I whip my tail at Axel. Sending a purple slice his way. Before it could hit him the slice stopped and then tore a whole revealing space as Axel got cut up with multiple slices and the portal closed. That was Spacial Rend, that was awesome! Plus it has a high Critical rate. I was free from Axel's eyes and took the time to go at him again.

"Stay back," Axel got up. "Devil Combo xros two," The hazy mist around us kicked up into a cyclone sucking me inside it. I was suffocating inside the poison. Then I got an idea. I made a bubble of water and got inside it. I realized I can breathe in water. It must be because of my gem. "You may be safe in the water but can you take an explosion? Devil combo two final gambit," the cyclone then starts to collect itself. Forcibly about to implode. If I can expand this bubble and infuse it with massive heat, it will cause a reaction of neutralizing gas. Putting knowledge into practice the poison mist disappeared.

"I have to say your punching bag lessons did teach me something, how to survive," I landed back on the battlefield glaring at Axel.

"You leave me no choice," his eyes started to glow again. "Rise my true kingdom-" Axel then stopped his words as he received a glare from Lumino. He then sighed. "Without my paradise, I can't unleash my full power," he explained. "I've also used a lot of my aura and I was going to use my paradise to replenish it." Axel seemed upset the fight was going to end.

"Let's finish this fight with one big move," I smirked.

"I couldn't agree more," His aura flared though this time it was white and the Roman numeral for three appeared on his chest. Using Spacial Rend I tore a hole in space in front of me and launched my Hydro Pump and Fire Blast into it. I looked over at Axel and it looked like he had phantoms of Blaze and Tyler behind him. He held up two claws and both had major blocks of ice. One was mixed with flames while the other was mixed with electricity. I took my chance and went straight for Axel As I was charging at him, he unleashed his two strong attacks. "I hope you're ready for Ice Burn and Freeze Shock," he's right and at my distance, I can't dodge.

"I'm ready!" I cut through space once more and use it to absorb the attacks. I could see it must be exhausting to use powerful skills all match and charge him with Extreme speed to get behind him.

"What are you doing?" he grunted.

"You'll see," The attacks I previously launched and his own came out of the Spacial Rend and attacked him at once. "Spacial Arte: Revenge Star!" I shouted my new special move.

'Could use some work,' Paula laughed.

"Vitals are in and Axel is down to twenty percent. The winner is Percival Grimwater!" Lumino announced my name and I fell on my back exhausted after that match. If he was allowed to use Paradise he would've surely won. I'm not strong enough to be an ace.


~Kai's~

(Dearly Beloved - KH)

I can't believe it, I'm up against Tyler Loft. The dragon I've idolized for years and it's a fight to determine if I pass this final exam. I've seen all of his matches and studied his techniques. Yet it doesn't feel real I get to fight him.

"What are you thinking about?" The dragon appeared. "You seem nervous, what's the problem?" Tyler looked at me with concern.

"Oh, it's nothing really," I blushed as I tried to avoid eye contact.

"Come on after all this time we've spent together I thought we were friends," I know he was lightly teasing but also being serious. Friends with the Pokemon I idolize the most. He's been saying we are friends and yet I never looked at our relationship that way.

"It's just I get to fight you the strongest in Evergreen and Ferrum. Not to mention I've been following your adventures on TV since the Evergreen tournament. That was four-plus years ago. You don't know how much of an inspiration you are to me. After I left Kalos when I was ten for the next three years I was in a terrible place but after seeing you on TV, I was inspired to be myself. I fought little by little with my father to express myself even to this day and you inspired that in me with your contests and fighting," I didn't realize I was getting a little heated.

"I'm happy to hear you let it all out," Tyler's smile was enough to calm me down. "Even if I'm someone who inspires you I can still be close to you. Think of this as a normal occurrence because after you pass we'll fight each other more often," Tyler opened his arms for a hug.

"Tyler, I," I didn't know what to say. All I did was accept his hug and melt into it.

"Remember to always be yourself, everything else will follow suit," I was released from his embrace and blushed under his smiling gaze.

(Dragoncraft theme - Shadowverse anime)

"Our final match of the night is Ferrum's number one Tyler Loft! His Opponent Kai Blaze the rank four elite student! Who's ready to see sparks fly?" Lumino riled up the crowd for our match.

"I think that's our cue," I chuckled out of embarrassment from our little tender moment.

"Yeah, it is," We both started to walk out to the battlefield. "Oh, I'm sure you will pass this exam, but I never said it would be easy," Tyler took the spot opposite me and we both stared at each other waiting for our fight.

"Seems like these two are ready. We have the Elementalist Tyler Loft up against the Sun Warrior Kai Blaze!" Lumino hyped us up. Is the Sun Warrior my new title?

'It is now,' Lumino's voice invaded my head. I found it unfair he could do that and still wear a smile on his face to commentate.

'You didn't bother to ask me,' I grumbled mentally. I got no response.

"Final match! 3 . . 2 . . 1, Battle Begin!" As the fight began it looked as if Tyler was charging energy into his fur. Why would he use Solar Beam? It's not effective on me. I don't have time to overthink. Unleashing Fire from my mouth spread into the Japanese character for fire. What caught me off guard was it exploded before it reached Tyler. A massive explosion went off.

"What the?" I'm confused. It didn't even hit him. I didn't have time to think, so I decided to run in for close combat. When I got close a ball of water then exploded soaking me. In reaction, I got struck by a lightning bolt. "What is happening?" I coughed a bit. Not only was I hit with a super effective move getting my fur wet. I got stuck with an electric move and added a super-effective hit. He planned this but how?

"I'm only allowed to use two tricks in this fight once you figure them out. You'll be close to victory but until then," Tyler wore a smirk. He launched a ball of pure power at me and I dodged. As I dodged I got covered in a yellow powder. It's as if no matter what I do there will be an instant action in retaliation. I then realized the power was the same as Stun Spore because I found it hard to move. It helps since my ability is Guts but I'm not sure if I can land a hit on him. He is just standing there absorbing power through his fur. This is the time to test out a new move. I felt my body rage up with a yellow aura and I went towards Tyler. To my surprise, nothing happened as a reaction as I charged into him using Facade. As I tackled him I saw the surprise on his face as if I wasn't supposed to be able to attack him. Like he didn't expect me to know Facade. As I jumped off him I noticed something floating around the battlefield. It was hard to notice at first since it's transparent.

"What are these things floating around us?" I asked.

"So you noticed so quickly," Tyler flapped his wings and it showed they were orbs holding an element of every type floating around the battlefield. " These are command mines which are different from my mine sweeper move which uses Solar Beam. The orbs that surround them are fused with the move psychic and trigger based on a command I give them when created. This is why I'm constantly absorbing energy. This is my first trick," He then flapped his wings again but this time a massive tornado appeared, sucking in some of the orbs. Then it had a pink hue as the tornado split into three tornados. Each has its own color, blue, brown, and yellow. "Element Hurricane!" The tornados had me trapped in the center of the battlefield and I could tell one was water, the other was ground, and the last was electric—time to try out another move.

"I wish I may, I wish I might. I wish upon a star tonight, provide me with the answer," I used Wish. The tornados were closing in.

"Will this match be over already? It would be an overwhelming victory for Tyler," Lumnio cheered. I could use a vote of confidence from my overseer. Then a white light poured over me and I felt like I was flowing with power. I Blasted three Fire Blast into the tornados and they mixed with the flames disbursing themselves quickly.

"Nice use of Wish," Tyler complimented me.

"Nice element combination, so not only are they good for control but to bolster attacks," I stated my observations.

"That's my second trick," Tyler wore a smirk. I took my chance and welled up with a yellow aura and charged at Tyler, to my surprise no elements exploded on me. I was able to nail him with Facade again but I took the chance and felt my muscles bulge as I latched on to Tyler and backdropped him.

"With a Facade to Superpower will that be enough to put Kai on equal footing?" Lumino announced. I jumped back and Tyler got up and looked barely phased from my attacks. I then started to feel a light headache in my head. Something like this has to be his doing. I started feeling a bit wobbly.

"You don't have much time left and I've only used three moves," Tyler taunted me with a pure smile. He's right though he only used Focus Blast, Solar Beam, and Hurricane.

"ORB, match status," I commanded and it showed Tyler was only at seventy percent while I was at forty. This isn't looking good for me. I need to pass, I need to show my dad I'm capable after our fight. I need to be on par with Nexus, to show him I'm capable, but lastly for me to follow my path and choices, not the ones my father placed on me. I could feel flames appear around me. I then unleashed a big ball of flames at Tyler and this was stronger than my typical Fire Blast. He countered by focusing a ball of energy on me and fusing an orb with it that had the water symbol. When the two moves clashed it caused a funnel of water and fire.

"Seems like you upped your power, I'm so proud," Tyler cheered for me.

'Kai, do you feel all that power?' It was Lumino's voice.

'I do, It's so much it flowing out of me in the form of fire,' I explained how I felt. Lumnio chuckled at my explanation.

'This is the feeling of full synchronization or full sync for short. When an Ace and Overseer are completely synced together. This can only occur when the Ace has the conviction to face his troubles,' Lumnio explained.

'What does it do?' I asked. Tyler continued our fight and I was keeping up.

'When you truly activate my power you have complete access to my power and change all four moves instead of one, not to mention a power boost. Go on and win this match,' Lumnio explained and cheered me on.

(Unstoppable Impulse - Shadowverse)

"Time to end this fight," Tyler let out an unbearable screech which hit me in a massive wave.

"Ahhhhh!" I screamed as Flames went everywhere countering Tyler's Boomburst. I then tapped my ORB bead as the Roman numeral for eleven appeared on my chest. Flames came around me as a white case enveloped me. I felt flames morph around me and something sprouted out from my back and wrapped around my face. My tail changed back to yellow and flowed like fire. Yellow fur grew around my paws. I felt my face morph a bit and grew a horn. My shell broke and flames went everywhere. "Full Sync!" I shouted as I faced Tyler.

"I see so this is what Lumino was talking about," Tyler looked intrigued. "Let's see what you got," Tyler then tapped his earring, and the Roman numeral for three appeared on his chest as flames wrapped around him trapping him in a white case. When his case broke he looked so majestic. Similar to Reshiram with the flowing white from his head and his wings were white instead of black and purple. Not to mention the rings of white down his tail and the white markings on his body.

A/N: Tyler's form does not have a picture visual please look up Noivern/Reshiram.

"A heads up my ability in this form is Turboblaze," Tyler smiled. I can tell with flames radiating off him more than me. I flew up and embodied the power of the sun before I flew down at Tyler. Tyler attacked with blue flames at point-blank range. I took the attack head-on and slid back on the battlefield.

"So this is a fire/dragon type fight," I smirked and Tyler nodded. Reining up like a horse I gathered all the power I could around my horn and ran at Tyler. As I ran a pink ray shot at me from one of his orbs and I charged right through it at him.

"Amazing, Full Sync has granted you a lot of power," Tyler complemented as my Zen Headbutt clashed with his now oddly gray wings. They are as hard as steel. Is his last move steel wing? This means he changed one of the last three for his previous attack. I then noticed his wings got harder. Damn, he got the stat boost. He then broke our struggle, sending us both sliding back.

"I'm not done!" I feel too strong for me to lose here to him. I let out a roar as I'm blinded by rage. "I will not lose!" I fly straight at him and he flys up to dodge my initial Outrage.

"Seems like this will be Ariel combat, who will win?" Lumino sounded like he was on the edge of his seat. I chased after him and it was a back-and-forth game of chase until I finally clipped his wing making him slow down. As a reaction I got shot with a bolt of electricity, damn his orbs. I took my chance to nail another attack and flew down after him.

"It won't be that easy Mine Sweeper!" I got caught in his trap as a row of green bombs went off against my scales and Tyler flew up again. I spun out landing on the battlefield. I wasn't ready to give up, but my body was almost ready to give up.

"You got some fiery spirit," Tyler complimented me. I saw his wings glossed over in a gray as he flew down at me. I ducked down and latched on to his body as we flew up.

"Thanks for the lift," I joked as I flexed my muscles using Superpower. I could feel my strength increase due to Contrary. I steered us up in the air and then circle-threw him in the air. It took a moment before his wings could catch the air. We were both in the air flapping our wings and looking at each other. I want to pass this exam and if I'm going to, I need to use all the power at my disposal.

"Ahhhh!" I let out a warcry as the area around the battlefield shifted to that of Ultra Space. A wormhole then opened up and I hopped in it to commence my final attack. I reappeared diagonally to Tyler and it looked as if he was prepared for this fight to end.

"Show me what you can do," Tyler started to pour all of his energy into his claw not to mention his orbs got sucked in as well. A red pathway was made connecting me to Tyler as I started to run down it with the power of the sun behind me.

"Here I come, Searing Sunraze Smash!" As I was running I tripped and started to roll like a bowling ball.

"I'm ready. Here's my special move, Gaia Devastation!" My body clashed with his glowing claw and I pushed hard with everything I could. Tyler I respect you the most but you are in my way. A massive explosion was caused by our attacks and I was pushed back on the battlefield. When I got up the Ultra Space look-alike was gone, but Tyler was there standing, waiting. I was forced out of my form and could barely get up to fight back. Did I seriously lose?

(ESA Final Arc Ending - NebbytheSolgaleo)

"We have a winner!" I heard Lumino's voice. Was he going to declare I lost? I looked at him and he had a smile. "Kai Blaze wins the final match!" Lumino cheered. I looked at my ORB screen and it showed I had one percent compared to Tyler's thirty. It doesn't matter, I won.

"Kai, that was a fun fight. I would love to fight again," Tyler helped me up.

"Thanks though I will surely lose," we both chuckled.

"The exams are now over, we have six students who passed," Lumino started to cheer as five cards appeared on the jumbo screen. "Our first qualifier was Macalister Nexus in his opening match against Snap Gator. Talk about a guy who loves using Guillotine," Lumino commented as his card was flipped. "Our second qualifier was Pollon Strife with her fiery fight against James Cross. Her Crescent Moon Shield looks like it can block anything!" Pollon's card was flipped. "Our third qualifier was Corrode Gaia and his opponent was college catalog number one Volcan Overcrest. Definitely an entertaining fight, with Corrode pairing his ability Sheer Force and a life Orb his attacks are fearsome!" Corrode's card was flipped. "Our fourth qualifier was Sydney Stone who won against the ninja of Ferrum. Her new title is the Princess of the Forest!" Sydney's card was flipped. "Our fifth qualifier was Percival Grimwater, the elite student number one. He won against the devil of Ferrum with his combinations of fire and water!" Percy's card was flipped. "Our last qualifier was Kai Blaze, a fiery spirit. He was up against Ferrum's number one Tyler Loft in a grand battle showing off amazing power!" My card then joined the rest revealing all students who passed the final exam. That reminded me of my sister who failed her exam, damn. Whatever it is that we get to do I have to do it without her. "This will conclude the final exams and I need all passing students to meet me in my office tomorrow morning! You all get an award for passing the final exam," He gestured to our faces on the screen. " The rest of you get home safely and enjoy the rest of winter break!" Lumino then left as the audience started to file out. I wonder what it is that we get for passing since he never shared what the prize was.


Action: That's it we only have one more chapter and it is more or less an epilogue.

Kai: Wow it's been a year already since we started this whole thing to think I would have the chance to fight Tyler.

Tyler: Yeah and for me it's almost been six years.

Action: Who's ready for Payton and Suki to appear in the next chapter?!

Payton & Suki: We are!

Percival: Can we get on with it, please?

Blaze: My turn to talk. Up next: Lumino shares with everyone our true purpose as Aces and what our next mission is. Seems like there are still a few loose ends as we end the semester like the winter music festival and preparation for that. Let's not forget the promise Kai and Nexus made. They get to have an unsanctioned match, how sweet. Looks like we get to see what is happening in the present time as well. Let's see what happens next, chapter 22 the final chapter: In a Blaze of Glory. Only on ESA.

Axel: Don't forget to fav, follow, and review.

Sydney: Bye!
