episode 39 What do you want to believe

"yazid" finally just touched "Samuel" then died.

Samuel:-[sweat]hey…are you dead?...well he's not answering though, come on you don't have to act like that…I haven't even injured you not even once, it's like you committed suicide!

Though "Raaza" is confused on how "Yazid" died" and "Wreck" started laughing.

Raaza:-what is the meaning of this? Why would he go this far when he's on fire?

Wreck:-the over use of "Ki" can sometimes make the "Ki" back fires its user, it doesn't matter how much "Ki" you can maintain, it all comes to how you use it.

Raaza:-what a fool! To think we would have such a blunt member who would go this far.

Meanwhile "Stella" and "Blake" are having trouble reaching "lukman" since neither smoke or sand metal works on him.

stella:-this isn't going quite as planned, we're supposed to meet up with "Wreck" all together, but fighting someone like that?!

Blake:-I know, this is absolute crap, [yell]don't look down on us, who ever you are!

Lukman:-I am "Lukman", a member of the "Laughing Demon", you will remember it closely once you die by my hands, you have no chance of defeating me, as soon as I touch you with my tentacles it's all over.

Stella:-he's right though, his tentacles can cause paralysis with one touch…however I haven't seen a paralysis that fades instantly when it loses contact.

Blake:-wait, if that's so we could be in some advantage.

Stella:-you're right…the problem is…how will we get to him while going through those tentacles?

Meanwhile "Shanks" and "Armel" haven't landed a single hit on "Hakim" since "Armel" keeps stopping the "Destructo Spheres" that were about to touch them both, and "Shanks" keeps pushing them away using his firework cannon.

Hakim:-you don't seem to be having any advantage when you agreed to fight me, you didn't even move from your position the moment I summoned my spheres!

Armel:-what do you care? We are doing whatever we can to reach you.

Shanks:-however…it seems this is going to be tough since these spheres destroy anything it touches.

Hakim:-so what happened to, trust me we'll manage? It sounded like a bluff to me.

Armel:-keep talking…we'll take you down, and that is no joke!

As "Tika" and "Yaguto" run in the halls they stumble upon reanimated people and soldier, "Yaguto" summons his scythe and began slicing them, though it did no effect on them since every limb and body parts turns to shattered mirror then goes back to its owner's body like the slicing is undone.

Yaguto:-this is not how I imagined it would be! What the hell is this?

Tika:-these look like corpses!

Yaguto:-how would you know that?

Tika:-if you look closely, the clothes they are wearing is not part of the nations, I heard stories of people wearing this kind of clothes disappeared in a very long time ago, no one knows what happened to their corpses.

Yaguto:-not possible, if these people disappeared a long time ago then how are they here? this doesn't make any sense!

Meanwhile "Stella" has a plan to defeat "Lukman", she told "Blake" to run around him, "Lukman" attack him without wasting any time, "Blake" fell down.

Lukman:-what ever you're plotting it won't work, you'll be caught eventually!

Right when "Lukman" is about to catch him "Stella" used the metal sand available to cover his tentacles then started running around him.

Blake:-this might work well, we just need to cover you up in order to hit you.

Lukman:-that's some funny talk! So that's what you're doing? How bother some!

"Lukman" just canceled his tentacles then summon them again to get them out of the metal sand and attack "Stella", "Blake" used his smoke to cover "Lukman's" tentacles.

Lukman:-[angry] for how long are you gonna keep doing this?

Blake:-quick "Stella", we need get a move on!

Lukman:-if this is how you want to play…so be it.

"Lukman" cancels it again and started charging for a bigger attack, they both kept running around the place trying to find a better angle so they can attack him.

Blake:-there is our chance, let's hit him while we can!

Stella:-no "Blake" it's too risky.

As "Lukman" releases the attack his tentacles spread wider and longer, cover the whole area giving them no chance to escape.

Lukman:-how was that? Is it better than my common ones? Since the common ones reach the small range of attack you won't get caught easily, but with this…there is no escaping it.

Stella:-not even for you.

"Stella" appeared throwing metal balls then attack "Lukman" head on, "Blake" came from behind and attack with his fist and knees.

Lukman:-[getting pummeled] (impossible…no one had ever escaped my full area covering tentacle attack, just who the hell are these children? I need to escape before the could even finish me…but how)?

Stella:-looks like you haven't noticed what we did, surely you did spread your tentacles wider than usual, however we actually gave you a sign that you did not see.

Blake:-well we tried to cover up your tentacles using what ever we can to save one another, little did you notice that your tentacle effect is slower!?

Lukman:-what? Are you telling me that you covered yourselves against my attack? So it had no effect on your "Ki" control!

Stella:-well you almost got me if I haven't thought about using the previous metal sand that was available, I just forced it to come to me, and forced you to use such attack.

Lukman:-[laugh]…I can't believe I lost to a child, I can't even use my "Ki" to escape…giving you the chance to kill me.

Stella:-well I would like to…but my instructor won't be happy about it, on top of that I reach a "Ki" overheat, which made me a walking to talking magnet right now.

Blake:-does that mean any metal near you will be attracted?

Stella:-afraid so, but we can't leave others waiting for us for so long.

Blake:-agreed!

Lukman:-you will regret this if I lived on! You hear me?

Meanwhile "Shanks" and "Armel" are about to lose since "Hakim's" spheres are generated one by one, not giving them a root to escape.

Shanks:-well you can't say that we tried.

Armel:-we're about to lose our breath if this keeps up.

Hakim:-ready to give up yet? It looks like this match has already been decide.

Shanks:-I heard once there was a warrior…who fights till his last breath, he did not hesitate to went all out, drying himself from his strength.

Hakim:-if that's what you want to do…we might as well try.

As they continue defending each other "Armel" fell on his knees, breathing very heavily because of "Ki" overheat.

Shanks:-"Armel", keep it together.

Armel:-I…[panting] I can't breath properly, there is something wrong with my lungs.

Hakim:-and there you have it, he looks like he'll die first, don't you agree?

Shanks:-"Armel"…take it easy, "Armel", rest up and leave it to me I'll figure out a way to beat him.

Hakim:-that's a shame…but how will you defeat me and defend your ally at the same time? You're currently trapped there is no way you can escape this.

Shanks:-[sweat] (damnit, there is no way out of this, if I go ahead and started shooting him I won't have enough time dodge these things, and if I try shooting the spheres it might cause me a lot of fireworks to get rid of them and make a way out of this, plus a might suffer "ki" overheat, what am I supposed to do now? If I run the spheres might catch me, this is much cowardly foolish of me…wait [remember "Wreck"]…when you're glad that you're a fool…you get hurt and sometimes experience near death, so what if I grabbed "Armel" and ran through them, we both suffer but "Armel" might make it through…if I'm glad that I'm a fool I might do this, only a fool would hurt himself to save another)!

Hakim:-just give up, it's pointless to run…my spheres will kill you.

"Shanks" grabs "Armel" and started running through the spheres, he used his "Ki" to push himself out of each of them along with "Armel".

Hakim:-[sweat] what is he doing? Why would he do such a thing to his own ally like that? Even so he's about to escape from the trap, try running all you like…you won't breath at the end.

As "Shanks" launches himself faster he tosses "Armel" out of the sphere trap while one sphere catches him, attack his entire organs, luckily "Armel" used his breath to get him out of the sphere trap and brings him to his side.

Armel:-[panting]I can't believe…we escaped…got some breath on you?

Shanks:-shut up and take a breath…we need to find a better angle from here, it looks like we both have over used our "Ki".

At the meantime "Raaza" is pissed because she knows that the plan is about to fall apart.

Raaza:-[angry]we're falling one after another, how does this keep happening?

Wreck:-your plans will be completed in a few minutes…you just wanted that artifact so badly that I have friends coming after me just to stop it.

Raaza:-the moment you summon the artifact and fix it…you die along with those destructive eyes of yours, there will be nobody that can revive you, plus…you're going to meet him…you know, you dead friend!

"Yaguto" arrives with "Tika", panting from the fights with the reanimated soldiers and people.

Yaguto:-[panting] the mirrors…were rewinding…over and over again…so I burned them till they melt down…I don't think that is enough time to talk.

Raaza:-[sweat] how is it that your "Ki" isn't overheating that much?

Yaguto:-it doesn't matter now…let me talk to him, will you?

Raaza:-…[smile] sure, you can talk to when ever you want, you can do as you please[move a side].

Yaguto:-great, thank you…now.

Wreck:-why are you here?

"Yaguto" was shocked when he heard that question, confusing him.

Wreck:-shouldn't you be protecting your brother and sister? I am fine by my own, your help was never need here…if there is something you want to say just say it…then leave this place, because you don't belong here.

Yaguto:-[yell]yeah right, coming from someone who would want to abandon everyone he knew, just by not promoting me you who Faught that monster all by himself like an idiot.

Wreck:-have you come here just to insult me or what?

Yaguto:-[yell] you're not even giving us a chance to prove ourselves, instead you're going through your lines, do you even check your surroundings? You're being hell like a hostage and you're okay with that?

Wreck:-…are those the only questions coming from you? Look here "Yaguto", I trained you to protect your relatives, and not to throw your life to a monster, I told you to stay at the village just to protect you from that…that thing! And yet…just by staying here, I'm the victim…going back now won't solve anything, just leave me be… and protect those who need help without me.

Tika:-…"Wreck", you helped me a lot lately…it's time I return the favor…just answer me…do you want to believe?

Wreck:-what do you mean? People only believe in what they've seen and heard.

Tika:-I'm not including anyone else but you…do you want to believe that you can change? Right now, you are thinking that if you came along, you would do the same mistake as 10 years ago…do you want to believe in that? If not, then what do you want to believe?

Wreck:-[gasp] what do I…want to believe?!
