The mech holds its staff in the air for a moment gathering the red and black energy. It then slashes the air in their direction forcing the two to dodge to the side. *WOOSH* The wave of darkness flies through the sky.
The Mech then takes its staff and gathers more energy quickly, Summoning another wave of darkness at them. *WOOSH* It goes as it hurls at the two. The two dodge narrowly missing the beam. Zephyr starts rushing at the Mech with his blade.
The Mech then gathers a ton more energy and launches three of those waves at them. *WOOSH WOOSH WOOSH* They go Hurling at him. Zephyr jumps in between the first two and then slides under the last one though his shoulder gets a little grazed.
He then stands up and runs a little further, then swings his sword at the mechs body. but the mech takes its staff and blocks with it. *CZT* thw sword collides against the mechs staff. However Zephyr doesn't falter and immediately swings again, however, is again blocked by the staff. *CZT* It goes sliding against the staff again.
This time Zephyr slices at the mech but fakes it out and goes another direction. *CZZZZT SLASH* The sound makes as the mechs chest is hit. The mech then takes his free left hand and punches Zephyr off of him.
However Marrieoct is behind him, their staff glowing a bright orange. "HEY ROBO FACE TAKE THIS!!" Marrieoct yells as they hold their staff forward. Their gloves glow a bright orange as the staff is consumed in flames and then. *FWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!*
the sound echoes as a giant ray of flames comes hurling at the mech. The mech is only able to turn around as the flame. Consumes them in a bright hot orange. Once the flame settles. The mech still remains though a few burn marks are on its body.
"Zephyr we're gonna need a little more power than that, and sadly I'm out of juice for the moment!" Marrieoct says huffing and puffing his way through the line.
"Don't worry I got one last trick up my sleeve!" Zephyr says as he holds the button on his sword. It starts conducting a bunch of green electricity. Zephyr's green eyes then glow neon as his body starts conducting the green electricity as well. He then rushes at the mech the electricity on his body conducting faster.
The electricity on his body and sword starts interacting until the blade is also conducting an even heavier amount of electricity. "TAKE THIS OVERCHARGE!" He yells in a cringe worthy manner as he jumps in the air and slices a wave of electricity at the mech. *CZZZZZZTBOOOM!*
it sounds as the mech is hit with a violent wave of electricity. Slicing it's body in half horizontally, before it can even retaliate. Then the wave of electricity hits the ground sending a giant ray of green energy up. Engulfing its body and the ground around it in a green light.
And once the light settles all that remains is some broken pieces of metal.
The sky then turns white again and the ground returns to the gray tower. "Well done!" The deep feminine voice says. "What was that thing!?" Zephyr says breathing heavily.
"If you want to beat the Light Occult you have to be stronger than it's leader. A few years ago the leader beat the God of darknesses vessel. So you fought a version of that!"
Zephyr shudders hearing the mention of the leader. "I..think I understand!" He says
"Good, anyways since you two succeeded I think it's time I show myself!" The deep feminine voice says. And suddenly a figure appears in front of them.
The figure is of a buff woman Covered in big bulky blue armor they have a blue bird helmet with a yellow visor it cuts off just bellow the nose showing her mouth and Ebony skin that shines brightly through the opening. In her right hand she holds a bulky black gun with a hole in the middle.
"Nice to meet you, my name is Alehyeria!" She states to the two. "So you're the one who called us here!" Zephyr says. "Yes." She states, "but why do you want to kill the Light Occult and Dark Occult so bad!" Zephyr asks. "I guess they haven't taught you the story!" She says.
"Long ago I lead a rebel organization that was made to end this sickening war! I called that organization the Order of The Gray. The organization was a success and we were able to nearly crush both the light and dark occult." She explains with a hint of rage in her voice.
"But during the finale battle. The goddess of light had a dastardly plan that forced me to sacrifice myself in order to save my people. In turn without my leadership the organization quickly crumbled and was pushed into the shadows.!" She says in a somber yet angry tone.
"WAIT then that makes you a.." Zephyr starts talking and is then interrupted by Alehyeria, "A ghost? Yes! If I wasn't I wouldn't have pulled you into this realm." She responds. "But why did you decide to choose us?" Zephyr asks. "To be honest Marrieoct being here was more for the fact he was in the same room as you were. As for you Zephyr, I've been watching you for a while!" She says. "What do you mean a while!" Zephyr says in a scared tone
"Ever since the day you were kicked out of your village!" She responds. "Kicked out of your village what does she mean by that?" Marrieoct asks Zephyr. "When I was 13 It was found out I didn't believe in the goddess of light. They tried to convert me for a few years but by 15 they gave up and banished me from the village!" Zephyr says, quaking with rage as he describes those events. "Not even my mom…or uncle…or..anyone..cared….in fact they all supported my banishment!" He adds quaking with more anger.
"Indeed that day was the day you swore revenge! So you made that sword." Alehyeria says pointing as zephyr's sword. "So I buried that sword in the real world and with it my revenge!" Zephyr says. "Was that because you really didn't care anymore or because you couldn't possibly do it!" Alehyeria asks.
"Because….I…couldn't possibly do it " Zephyr says with a sorrowful tone. "Well i have the power to give you the chance to enact it, Zephyr. So let me ask you again, will you help me take down the light and dark occults!" She says holding her hand out to Zephyr.
Zephyr thinks for a moment as thoughts fill his head. "Yes I accept!" He says passionately as he shakes Alehyerias hand "how about you Marrieoct?" Alehyeria asks as Zephyr stand beside her. "Sure I've never liked them anyway plus I've got my fair share of bad blood with them as well!" He says walking over to Zephyrs side. "Good now in a few seconds you two Will awake. For now Zephyr dig up that sword. I'll contact you tomorrow night!" She says and with a flash of light she is gone.

Zephyr awakes with a bottle of boos next to him on the coach. He gets up and looks down on the floor and "sees" Marrieoct on the floor slowly getting up. "Morning!" Marrieoct says with a sigh. "Did you?" Marrieoct begins to ask. "Yes I did!" Zephyr responds prematurely. "Well then I guess that wasn't a dream after all!" Marrieoct responds as Zephyr frantically rushes to an apartment closet. "What are you doing?" Marrieoct asks
Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.
"Alehyeria said I need to get my sword so I'm looking for a shovel!" They say as Zephyr looks in the closet "Sadly I don't have one it seems!" Zephyr says. "Well I can use my magic!" Marrieoct says holding their staff up
"That'll do!" Zephyr responds. The two get ready and then head to a river just outside The walls surrounding the town. "Right here if I recall." Zephyr says pointing at a patch of ground in the middle of the field.
Marrieoct then waves his staff and the grass and dirt then get lifted up and put down somewhere else. Eventually a long black box is revealed and inside is the sword from the dream. Zephyr takes it then breaks the hard shell that formed from time. He then sheathes it, and places it in the box and puts it in a concealed part on his jacket.
"We should split up,I don't know if I'll be able to smuggle this thing in!" Zephyr says as he walks away. "By the way here's my number. I'll tell you what she says tonight!" Zephyr says turning around to give Marrieoct a piece of paper, he then begins walking back to his house.
~
Zephyr arrives at his house and turns on the TV as he goes to hide the weapon. He shoves it under the bed and hopes that will suffice. He then sits down to watch whatever show is playing on TV. He sits down gets comfortable and then. *chzft* the TV goes black for a moment and then a news broadcast appears. It streams Alial castles gate, it's a tall white building with an arched gate and gold markings all over it, with a stage set up in front of it.
"We report to you live from Alial castle as the king gives a special announcement!" A announcers voice echoes through the screen. A light skin guy with long black hair and black eyes, walks on stage He wears black robes with a yellow dragon claw on them and black pants, his left eye has a clear cut mark on it. Though it doesn't impede his vision nor is bad enough for an eyepatch.
As the man walks on stage Zephyr's hand start to shake.
"PEOPLE OF ALIAL!" The king announces loud and clear. "I KING ALEIND HAVE COME TO MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT" He says holding his hands up in the air arched both at the sky and crowd. The crowd cheers lightly as Aleind continues. "AS YOU KNOW RUMORS OF THE DARK OCCULT RETURNING HAVE BEEN RAMPANT..and I'm sad to confirm that those rumors are true!" Aleind says quieting down into a serious voice near the end.
"HOWEVER NOT TO FEAR WE ARE TAKING EVERY MEASURE TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE QUICKLY ANNIHILATED!" Aleind yells out with a hint of rage near the end as he gestures a slicing throat motion. "AND THIS IS WHERE MY ANNOUNCEMENT COMES TO PLAY. MEET OUR NEW GENERAL MAINTRE!" Aleind says as a woman wearing a red jumpsuit and a bronze helmet with a black visor covering her entire face walks into frame.
Zephyr's eyes Dilate in shock and anger as he grits his teeth. His hands clenching the couch as hard as he can.
"HELLO PEOPLE OF ALIAL!" She says in a light feminine voice. "AS MY NEPHEW SAID I AM MAINTRE AND IM HERE AS THE NEW GENERAL OF THE ARMY. I HAVE LEAD A CHARGE AGAINST THE DARK OCCULT BEFORE SO I ASSURE YOU I WILL LEAD THE THE KINGDOM OF ALIAL INTO A BETTER TOMORROW!" She shouts to the crows.
"BULLSHIT!" Zephyr says chucking the remote at the TV. The TV is luckily sturdy and doesn't break it, Zephyr then quickly turns it off, And storms to his bed, he lays down in an attempt to calm down. As he stares at the ceiling he slowly drifts off to sleep

Zephyr awakens in The Reverie of Design. Standing atop a gray and white grassy field in front of Alehyeria. "So whats the plan." Zephyr asks. "Tomorrow I want you and Marrieoct to head to the government base in the woods, find the tree near it and dig up a box, in it shall be all you need to take it down!" Alehyeria says demandingly yet calmly! "So you want me to destroy a base, essentially asking for terrorism any particular reason!" Zephyr asks.
"That base is a military base meant for producing mass weapons destroying it will be beneficial for future plans, however please try to spare whoever you can!" Alehyeria says as the Reverie vanishes.
Zephyr awakens and gets dressed; he conceals his sword in his jacket and then texts Marrieoct to meet up with him. The two meet in a park and Zephyr tells Marrieoct what Alehyeria told him. "So we're gonna take out a government base." Marrieoct whispers. Zephyr nods and the two then head for the base.
~
Zephyr and Marrieoct arrive near a giant gray and concrete structure. Zephyr digs where Alehyeria suggested. He digs up a box that holds a blue eagle mask with a tan visor.
"Ah I see!" Zephyr says as he puts the helmet on. "Ah so she wanted to give you her helmet!" Marrieoct says.
"Good news is this hides my identity!" Zephyr says as he struts around proudly.
"Indeed it does!" Marrieoct says the two then get down to business and enter the base.
~
The two hide behind a corner as two of Alial knights stand in their golden yellow ninja yoroi. Marrieoct sends out a fireball as Zephyr rushes in and knocks the other out. However as soon as the two walk through the door they were guarding.
they come face to face with a short light skin guy with brown hair and Brown eyes wearing skintight red rubber clothes covered by tan yellow armor, wearing a tan yellow helmet with Giant yellow shoes that have a neon red line on them.
"STOP RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE!" The guy says in a soft pipy voice. "I AM GENERAL RUNNER OF THE ALIAL ARMY! AND YOU HAVE VIOLATED THE LAW BY BEING HERE I SUGGEST YOU SURRENDER OR ELSE I'LL BE FORCE TO KILL YOU!" The guy states
"I'm sorry sir but we aren't going." Zephyr states as bravely as possible "for I am the wind,the storm the blade that shall stop the reign of your kings tyranny, And the reign of your God! Stand down or you'll taste it." He says as he readies his blade.
Runner stands there at first confused but after a second it hits him. "Ah I see. Not much I can say to change your mind to be honest I understand where you're coming from. But I can't let you go further…AND I CAN'T STAND DOWN!" Runner says as he gets in a battle position
"LETS BEGIN!" Runner says as his boots light up, suddenly in less than a blink he runs all the way to Marrieoct and Zephyr's position and before they know it.
*BOOOSH* They've been kicked up into the air. All they see is Runner above them in a kicking pose as a trail for red energy falls from his foot. The two then violently fall to the ground they both Then quickly yet messily stand up.
Zephyr's sword then sparks with electricity; he then runs forward as Runner circles around the room. Zephyr then jumps up into the air and Stabs his sword into the ground instead of slamming it.
Lines of Plasma violently erupt around Zephyr scraping the edges for the room and destroying the cameras. None hit Runner. However that wasn't Zephyr's plan to begin with cause as Runner rudhes to zpehyr and kicks Zephyr up with a violent force, he accidentally launches zephyr's sword up into the air as well.
*CHZZZTVRAA* Like an outlet exploding Runner is hit with a huge amount of plasma sending him flying against the wall.
Runner stands up slowly coughing on the way. "You're good" He sputters out. Runner's shoes then glow a bright red again as he begins to zip right towards Zephyr. However Marrieoct jumps in front of Zephyr and quickly aims his staff right at runner. *FRWOOOSH!* a whirlwind of flame goes erupting from his staff. Picking up Runner and flying him around as the searing flames burn him and his suit.
Afterwards Runner is found lying on a wall burnt and bloodied. "Do you concede!?" Zephyr asks gently yet demandingly. "Sadly no." Runner says. "You can't fight though!" Marrieoct says with a tint of rage in his voice. "Oh i know but still I can't give up!" Runner says trying to force himself to stand.
"You know j can tell you're not a bad guy yet you are so loyal to such a corrupt individual…why?" Zephyr asks "because there was a time when he wasn't like this..he used to be so nice but one day it changed" Runner says with despair in his voice as he decides to stop trying to get up.
"When exactly did he change?" Zephyr asks, standing in front of Runner. As he doubts that there was a time Aleind was a good man. "I can't say for sure. It may have been farther back but I only noticed it a year ago, when rumors of the dark occult coming back were at their highest though it may have been further."
"Yknow if you're going to be a thorn in our side if we leave you here then we'll have to kill you!" Zephyr says "I know just one question before I go, why?..what did he do to you in order to lead to this rebellion" Runner asks.
Zephyr pauses for a moment and then says "I am Zephyr, Aleind's cousin that was abandoned years ago by him and my family. I've spent years ignoring this rage but everyday the people suffer more and I can stand aside no longer." Zephyr says as he points his sword at Runner.
Runner could say alot he could probably find lots of flaws in Zephyr's reasoning but he knows it's useless, he knows it's fate not just that he'll die but that Zephyr will win. And most of all he knows it's for the better.
So instead of saying anything all he says is one line. "I understand!" And with that Runner bows the best he can when immobilized as Zephyr takes his sword and chops off his head. And with that the two then uickly and swiftly head home
