Chapter 5 - Chapter 5 : Latent potential

Alex and Xavier Sprint towards the masked stranger while Elizabeth and Kalin stayed behind. "PYRO BOOST!!!", Xavier shouted. "BOOST!!!" Alex followed as they activated their marks. Xavier's hair and eyes turned orange with a yellow glow and his arms and part of his legs coated in a bright orange yellow jelly like flame.

The masked stranger pulled out his sacred treasure, a black trident, longer than his body. It's name "Aid me in battle, Trident of darkness," said the masked stranger as he dashed towards both Alex and Xavier.

"Wait, Trident of darkne...," Xavier got interrupted by a kick to the face by the masked stranger, sending him flying towards Kalin. Xavier managed to plant his feet in the ground and stopped himself,"Why you cheeky geezer...," he stopped.

He gazed upon the battle that was taking place between the masked stranger and Alex , or to say , trying to follow as both of them were moving faster than he could follow their movements. He waited patiently until the masked stranger landed in front of him.

Xavier barely dodged the masked stranger's attack and was cut on the left side of his abdomen.'Holy s*** that was close', Xavier thought to himself as he took hold of the trident ,"But I got you know old geezer", he swung his right leg at him, but the masked stranger easily caught it.

"I'M 26, YOU PUBESCENT TEEN!!!", the masked stranger proclaimed as he tossed Xavier towards Alex, causing them to crash into each other." Now die for me", he continued as he threw his trident at them but was deflected by Alex using his daggers.

"Okay Xavier. Let's try again", Alex said as he stood up and began to stretch." Hunt, restart", Xavier answered as he did the same. "Persistent brats", snarled the masked stranger as he gestured for his Trident to return to his hand.

"Ice storm BARRAGE!!", a voice from a distance yelled as huge chunks of spiky ice came hurling at the three. "And that annoying b****", Swoosh! Went his trident , easily swiping away the chunks of ice with a gust of guided air.

Right as the chunks of ice were blown away, Kalin came charging in and managed to land a clean right hook straight into the jaw of the masked stranger sending him flying into the nearby forest."S*** I missed", Kalin said mockingly.

"I was aiming for the mask", he continued,"GET DOWN!!" Alex yelled and dropped to the ground and so did Xavier, Kalin and Elizabeth. All managed to dodge the incoming air slash that cut down the nearby trees and hitting the castle wall ,knocking down a few archers.

"Ah-h-h-h-h", Kalin and Xavier gasp as they stand up to look at the damage,"Saved you and your welcome you pieces of trash. Now Kalin hurry up to the guard duty", Alex said as he dusted himself off. "Who are you calling trash, idiot?" Xavier asked as he jumped onto Alex.

Kalin walks off to protect Elizabeth and wait for another opportunity. Alex and Xavier continue to wrestle and call each other names. Kalin reaches Elizabeth and gets questioned.

Elizabeth: What are those two doing?(points at Xavier and Alex wrestling)

Kalin :(sighs) The usual

Elizabeth: Ok

"You unruly, spoiled a**h*** 1st level extraordinary", Alex said pulling on Xavier's hair ,"We are the same level and rank", said Xavier while pulling on Alex's cheeks ,"Oioioioioioi!, Why am I being side lined?", asked the masked stranger as he walked out the forest.

Alex and Xavier stopped wrestling but stayed in their positions, still cradled up together, with Alex standing on Xavier and Xavier still managing to stand but slightly bent , with his back facing the ground." Sacred Art: Piercing Thrust", said the masked stranger as he dashed towards Alex and Xavier, Trident forward, with blinding speed.

"Gotcha", said Alex and Xavier simultaneously, as Alex propelled himself into the air and Xavier lying flat on the ground dodging his piercing technique. But the masked stranger moved so fast he created a sharp gust of wind heading towards Elizabeth.

"Elizabeth WATCH OUT!!!", yelled Kalin as he jumped in front of Elizabeth and hit in the back , slightly piercing through him but rendering him unconscious as he was hit right in the middle of his spinal cord. "KALINNN...!!", Xavier got interrupted by a Trident to the face , sending him away from Alex.

He then readjusted his Trident to try and pierce Alex."Sacred Art:( Sounds like 100 voices speaking at once)Hell's flame", Alex then spewed a beam of intense flames burning a large crater onto the battle fails. The masked stranger managed to dodge, but most of his cloak had been burnt.

His hood had also burnt off, revealing his long black hair. "This got even more interesting", he said as he put his Trident into the ground, took out a piece of cloth from his pocket and tied his hair, he then grabbed his Trident and pointed it at Alex.

But before he could speak, Alex suddenly collapsed on the ground. " Well then time to destroy your kingdom", The masked strange said as he walks towards Alex.
