Action: We're almost done!
Everyone: Yay!
Action: I hope everyone reading is enjoying themselves and I know I haven't said it in the last year but I hope you are staying safe in a time like this.
Gladion: Action being sincere, wow.
Skye: Cut him some slack. He's been working hard on these.
Action: Thanks Flora.
Skye: No problem.
Zack: Moving forward, let's continue the Chroma League.
Leaf: Action doesn't own pokemon, art if used and music links.
Duke: Now let's dive in.
~Tyler's~
"Michael Tailside was it?" I asked as I sat on the examination table.
"Please call me Milo"He started to spray a full restore over all my wounds.
"Yikes that stings" I let out a yelp.
"Sorry about that" There was a bit of silence between us.
"You fought valiantly out there" I guess this is his attempt at a compliment.
"Thank you, though I'm not much of a fighter" I spoke a bit bashfully.
"Could've fooled me" he started applying some salve to my wings. "You're an interesting pokemon with the ability to wield so much power your body shouldn't be able to handle it" I laugh it off trying to figure out how he knows so much. Then I realized all of my fights and performances have been broadcasted live.
"Thanks I guess I'm just special" he finished tending to my body and looked at me.
"Some time after the League would you like to grab some coffee with me and talk?" I blushed. I then thought about going out for coffee with a stranger I don't know. Then again he appears to be a doctor of the sort, it would be nice to have a friend like that.
"Sure, I don't mind" I spoke with a warm smile.
"Thank you you don't know how much this means to me" I could see his tail wagging.
"All first round matches are complete!" I looked at the TV which was playing clips of the matches. "Our eight winners will continue their matches tonight! Glitz Midnight, Volcan Overcrest, Rumi Inferno, Tyler Loft, Janis Gemini, Sonia Sparks, Leon Soryu, and Ghana Specter! Now here are the second round matchups! First match Volcan vs Tyler! Second match Sonia vs Glitz! Third match Leon vs Janis! Fourth match Ghana vs Rumi! Now be back here tonight for more action!" Dean Dark then paraded off the screen.
"Seems like your net match is with Volcan Overcrest, That'll be interesting to watch" he looked at me as if fascinated.
"Yeah though if you don't mind I best be going" I got up and walked out the small office. I can't believe Gladion lost to Janis. I pulled up my Orb screen to pull up the records of each match. Janis is a Mudsdale with the ability stamina and by looking at the recording Gladion only used physical attacks, that idiot. Not a surprise Mona lost to Sonia, no offense to her. Though I wish I could've seen first hand Leon's match against Arthur, but looking at a short clip Arthur didn't stand a chance. Now this Ghana is interesting she is a junior here and rather talented though she is low ranked I wonder why. Looking further I noticed she doesn't compete often.
'Let's not think too much about this right now. You need to rest for tonight' I heard Axel.
'You're right and don't forget you get to watch over Lucifer' I laughed as I made my way to pick up my son.
(The Edge of Dawn - FE Three Houses)
"We're back with the second round and we will be kicking it off instantly with Volcan and Tyler!"
"Tyler I have been looking forward to an honest fight with you" Volcan spoke with a smirk.
"Same here, let's make it fun" I smiled. I'm ready, I'm happy to be here, anger and sadness will not consume me here. I've worked hard to make it this far and I'm proud.
"Battle begin!"
"Let's kick this off strong" The ground starts to shake and spikes begin to appear. With my aura flaring up I fly out the way.
"Can't get away that easy" A giant blast came from his body. It was as if he erupted like a volcano.
"No way, take this!" Ilet a high frequency sound wave, but it wasn't enough to stop the lava and I got hit out of the sky. I was stuck in limbo as I was slowly falling.
"If you're giving up that easy this'll be a sinch to win!" before I knew it Volcan was above me and the air became thick. He let off multiple small explosions around my body.
"Woah, a critical hit! Can Tyler come back from this" I came crashing down in the stadium.
'Get up dumbass!' I herded Axel's words and rolled out of the crater I was in and Volcan came crashing down where I was.
"It's my turn" My arms became hard like steel I went in for close combat.
"That won't work" his fist coated in electricity and struck my wings.
"Crap" I knew Volcan was a fighting prodigy but to think this quickly on his feet is amazing. I was sent sliding back again but Volcan didn't keep the pressure up.
"Another critical hit from Volcan! How much more can Tyler take?!" to be honest I don't know, but let's take advantage of the situation.
"Volcan, even though I'm not up to par on your abilities I can try my best" I tried to distract him while my fur glowed in a bright color similar to the moon in the night sky.
"Don't worry you're putting up a fight" the distraction worked and I was able to heal myself a bit using moonlight.
"Now where were we?" I started charging a lot of power.
"Synergy ready" I heard my Orb say.
"Burst!" A white light blined the area and I could feel three added appendages and the stored power turned into three giant orbs of stored power.
"This is new, Burst!" Volcan mega evolved and flames grew all along his body and his fur became darker while a grand smoke appeared from his back.
"Triple Focus Blast!" I released the stored power and he was able to counter two of them with simple explosions and was hit with the third. "I'm not stopping !" I went charging in with a belt of rocks floating around me.
"Neither am I" I launched the rocks at him at close range and he could do nothing. We were then locked in a grudge match of strength. "I never expected to use synergy against you, but this makes it interesting" he then lifted me over head and slammed me in the ground. Seismic toss does damage equal to the user's power and let's say it wasn't sunshine and rainbows when my body hit the ground.
"Another critical hit on Tyler!"
"I'm not done" I slid underneath him, tripping him and getting up. I unleash a massive hurricane in close quarters trapping Volcan inside.
"A critical hit on Volcan!" I took the time so my fur can absorb more moonlight to heal my wounds.
"Don't even think this match is close to over" I see an explosion go off and this time it's blue. I guess his new ability is in effect: Berserk.
"Orb, scan" I command
"Volcan's special attack is up by four stages" I gasp at the amount of power he has. I forget when you synergy burst if you raise your stats a stage it adds another stage.
"Let's continue Overheat!" A massive flame of blue is shot at me.
"Blue flare" a Blue flame escapes my mouth and I spin around trying to make a flame shield. It may be pretty blue but this is dangerous.
"That won't work!" he was right because the overheat blasted through my shield and I was trapped in a ton of flames. I couldn't do anything here besides accept it that I lost, I can't take anymore. I wish I could have done better. I felt my scales getting scorched and a bit of my fur being singed.
The flames disappeared and I was forced back to my origin form, lying there on the ground not able to move much.
"Winner of the first match of the second round Volcan Overcrest!" They made the formal announcement and I couldn't move.
'Don't be upset, you put in a great effort. You should be proud of yourself' I heard Axel encourage me.
'Thank you' I let a single tear fall from my face to the stadium floor.
"Tyler, thank you for the match" I looked up to see Volcan holding out his hand. I barely had energy to go to my anthro form and accept his hand.
"I have to say you definitely had control of the match the whole time, I was only trying to keep up" I spoke a bit defeated as we left the field.
"Being honest I didn't know what to expect when you show up looking like Reshiram" he chuckled.
"Well you won and I hope you honestly win this whole thing" I said to him as he took me back to the small office I was in this morning.
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
"I'll be leaving you here, I have things I need to get done" Volcan spoke. I nodded and then he left.
"I have to say Tyler, that was an astounding fight even if you did lose" I turned to see Milo with healing items alike and started tending to my injuries.
"Thanks, though I feel like I could've won if-" he cut me off.
"If Axel was let out" I was shocked he knew of his existence.
"How do you know him?"
"More like I can sense there are two beings within you" he spoke calmly.
'Talk about freaky' I agree with Axe, but a part of me is intrigued.
"If you two want to be separated I know a process that will not physically harm the both of you" he finished tending to my body.
'I would totally go for it' I don't like how energetic Axel is about this, am I a bad host.
"Sure, how will this be done?" Milo then grabbed a weird looking stone in his pocket, it was white.
"This will be quick and painless" he then placed the stone on his chest and everything went white and when it was gone, I felt empty.
Standing next to me was a noivern that looked like they were in my devil form. He was a bit taller then me and his clothes matched mine.
"Axel is that you?" I was a bit hesitant.
"Who else would I be dumbass?" his voice was deep but slow.
"Wow, that drained a lot of energy" Milo sat down in a chair drinking some juice.
"Thank you Milo" also forced Axel to thank him. One thing I wanted to check is if I had the insignia from when I gained my devil form and it wasn't there anymore. I guess since Axel is his own pokemon now I don't have access to his abilities.
"Tyler, let's get going" I followed Axel out the room. I can't believe Axel and I are separated.
"How do you feel?"
"I feel free, but that's besides the point. I have some stuff to do, I won't be back for a while" he didn't leave room for discussion and just disappeared into the hallways.
"Our final winner of the night Ghana Specter! We have a final four Volcan Overcrest, Sonia Sparks, Leon Soryu, and Ghana Specter! We will see you tomorrow for the final matches of the Chroma League!"
I wanted to spend time with Axel and he just disappeared. What the hell.
Today, I get to watch the final matches with my friends Flora, Snap, Liz, Ashley, Glitz, Blaze, Mona and Arthur. Jason, James, Zack, Gladion, Skye, Leaf, and Duke were there just not close to me. I also apologized to Snap and Blaze about what happened in the distortion world and Snap has a bit of a grudge, but Blaze forgave me.
"Who do you guys think will win?" I asked my group.
"My money is on Leon" Arthur spoke out first.
"No way, Volcan got this in the bag" Flora and Snap spoke in unison.
"I can't choose between Ghana or Sonia," Glitz spoke up.
"Whatever you choose I agree with" Ashley nuzzled Glitz.
"Get a room you two" Liz talked with bitterness in her tone.
"Keep quiet Liz" Mona slapped Liz in the back of the head.
I missed this, all of us being together like this.
"Alright everyone are you ready for the end of the Chroma League!" Dean Dark announced. Everyone cheered. " So am I and let's show the final four who they will be fighting" The screen shuffled the four names and then placed it under a small bracket. "First match is Leon vs Volcan! Second match is Sonia vs Ghana! It would seem the team:Iron has been dominating the tournament will it be the two of them in the final? Let's find out with the first match!" Volcan took center stage and was facing Leon, the school's number one. I could tell they said something to each other but couldn't make out what. "Battle, begin!" with those words said Volcan blasted off on the attack and blasted himself in Leon's direction. His fist charged with electricity he went in for the strike.
It looked like the strike landed but a cloud of smoke appeared and Volcan came crashing out from it. When the smoke cleared Leon was standing still unphased.
"Talk about power"I spoke without thinking.
"Well yeah, Leon is number one I would expect no less" Mona spoke up. I then see Volcan Synergy burst and decide to erupt in the whole stadium forcing Leon to move in close. Though he had a set up all along a ton of explosions went off along the field. Clouding our vision and gasp left the mouths of the crowd. We didn't need to wait to see the fight continue. Leon had Volcan in his arms and was doing somersaults in the sky.
"It would seem Leon has control over the entire match" Flora spoke a bit surprised.
"I would expect not less, his data across the board in this school are the best" Snap spoke while looking at his Orb screen.
"Not only that but it would seem he specializes in taking super effectives hits, so when he took that thunder punch full on it didn't do much. His training while at school has been dealing with his weakness" Blaze spoke while reading through Leon's data file.
"Talk about scary, nothing phases him" Ashley spoke up.
"Yeah, I would know, but I wouldn't call it scary. More like overpowering" Arthur spoke, but kept looking at the fight. Looking back Volcan was getting up from the crater in the ground and the flames he was giving off were now blue.
"I'm not done!" Volcan shouts and blasts out a giant ball of fire in Leon direction in the sky. Though it wasn't an attack it trapped Leon in a fire sphere. "Here's my burst move!" He started moving around quickly leaving small flames around Leon. Then as if eruption blue lava spewed and gathered around him, charging forward at Leon slashing through the sphere and the small flames then came in exploding all around the sphere. "Burst move Hell Flame Explosion!" A lot of the crowd started standing up and applauding for Volcan's Burst move.
"I didn't know he had a burst move!" Snap spoke with alarm.
"Is it weird for him to have one?" I asked.
"Well most underclassmen don't since you get training in your final two years to create a burst move special to yourself" Blaze spoke as if he was a genius and sent a smirk Snap's way.
"Guys the fight is still going" Glitz pointed to the field.
"I have to say that caught me by surprise but nothing more than some minor burns" Though Leon spoke quietly we all heard clear as day. Visibly Volcan was tired but he wouldn't relent. Volcan went in for close combat with a thunder punch, Leon took it and was clouded in a blue aura.
"Game over," I heard Arthur say. I was confused and then Volcan was swept up by Leon's tail and shot back with a punch.
"He just took on the full power of a counter" Arthur spoke out once more.
"Winner of the first Semi final match by K.O. Leon Soryu!" Dean Dark cheered and Volcan was being assisted out of the stadium.
"Bummer, but I mean Team:Iron is so strong" Flora deflated a bit.
"I agree and he was able to be Raihan, I thought maybe he could beat Leon" Glitz joined Flora in being deflated.
"Cheer up you two he made it to the semi finals" James chimed in and I was surprised but he was met halfway by Snap.
"Yeah, I agree, plus now that he's out I don't have to be here anymore" it was Duke's turn to speak.
"Duke, rude" Ashley gave him a slap.
"I was only saying what was on everyone's mind" Duke shrugged and everyone else laughed. We continued making jokes while on our way out and I noticed Axel standing by the exit. He had a gray hoodie on and black sweatpants so it covered his spikes and most of his face.
"Axel?" I spoke hesitantly.
"I was hoping you wouldn't notice, but who was I kidding, I used to be a part of you" he took off his hood so I could see all of his face.
"Where did you go? You had me worried?" I whined.
"Chill, I went to talk to dad, which in my case is Dean Dark, or to you Giratina or Shun" he spoke with a teasing tone.
"You can't just up and leave me" I punched him, not hard though.
"What been together so long you can't be without me" he teased me again.
"No-" I was cut off by the dean.
"Match two of the semi-finals Sonia vs Ghana begin!"
"You were saying" I didn't have to say anything because Axel pointed out my blush.
"Shut up, I just wanted to know what you were doing" I looked away trying to show I wasn't flustered.
"All you had to do was ask" I felt so dumb. "I went to Giratina, asking him to enroll me as a second year transfer student" he spoke so calmly, something I wasn't used to.
"Oh, so then you won't leave?" he then chuckled.
"All you had to do was ask me to stay and I would" he turned my head so I was facing him and looking up into his eyes. I couldn't hide my blush and his eyes. I should be fearful looking into them, but such a deep crimson is so alluring.
"Tyler! Where are you?" I was snapped out of my daze when I heard Jason calling my name.
"I guess that's my cue, I'll see you soon" Axel quickly walked off putting his hood back on as he did. Jason then found his way to me.
"Come on dipshit everyone is waiting for you" Jason grabbed my wrist.
"I was watching the match" I fake whined.
"The winner by K.O is Ghana Specter!" The crowd roared with excitement. "We'll see you tonight for the finals!" Jason then continued to drag me.
"There, now you saw it" I rolled my eyes and let him drag me.

"Lucy come here" I was sitting on the floor in the common room in the dormitory and my son Lucifer joined me in my lap.
"Who do you think will win Ghana or Leon?" Blaze asked.
"I think Leon, though Ghana worked hard to get this far" I spoke. I'm still a bit uncomfortable with Blaze, but I'm not here with just him.
"Daddy" Lucy started to figit and I knew what he wanted.
"Zack can you pass lemonheads?" It's his favorite candy. I don't give him candy often but it's a special occasion.
"Sure" he gave me a small box and I gave Lucy one and popped one in my mouth.
"Okay we're here with the popcorn" Liz and Mona made their entrance.
"Wow I have to say the endangered species dorms are a lot fancier then ours" Liz spoke without thinking while looking around the room.
"You don't say that outloud" Mona scolded Liz and we all laughed.
"Is this everyone?" Zack asked.
"Nope, your missing me" Skye stridded into the room with a bunch of blankets.
"Everyone else went to Neo city" Mona sat down on the couch next to Liz.
"Wish I had joined ' em" Liz spat.
"You're happy to be with us, just admit it" Skye poked fun at Liz.
"Welcome to the Ferrum region Chroma League finals! We had some great fights in this tournament, but now we have our two finalists! First up we have Ghana Specter! She is a third year here and a part of Team:Pseudo!" Ghana walks out to the field waving to the audience.
"Why is her team's name pseudo when she isn't one?" Liz spoke without thinking.
"Maybe her team leader is pseudo. She isn't the leader either so she didn't choose the name" Zack chimed in.
"Didn't ask kitsune" Liz laughed and Zack was blushing.
"Next we have Leon Soryu! He is in his final year and leader of Team:Iron, the reigning champs of the Chroma League for three years!" Leon makes his way out waving to the audience with a cheery smile.
"Let's get this started!" Blaze spoke excitedly.
"Fight!" Lucy shouted and I tickled him.
"Without further ado, let the final match of Ghana vs Leon, begin!"
Without hesitation Ghana had a red aura flare around her. "Haxorus are fast and strong and by enhancing both this doesn't seem good, especially at the start" Zack chimed in giving us knowledge.
"Thanks nerd" at this point I think I used to Liz.
"Be nice" and I'm used to Mona putting her in place.
Moving quickly out of sight Ghana visibly unleashed a Rock Slide on top of Leon yet he didn't move. The clatter of rocks caused a cloud of debris to form and when it cleared Leon had no visible marks.
"So cool" Lucifer spoke up.
"Yeah" I encouraged him and hugged him from behind.
"Ghana since I don't like hurting women, let's make this quick" Leon looked at the camera as he said that.
"Don't treat me differently just cause-" Leon countered the full power of the rock slide.
"That wasn't a simple counter we learned from the school, he used counter and it doesn't help Ghana made the attack stronger by using dragon dance" Blaze spoke this time explaining the match.
She was sent into the stadium forcefield "Talk about a critical hit!" Dean dark announced.
"I won't give up easily!" A shocking energy of synergy appeared around her. Not only that, but her axe like jaw grew three times its size and was glowing white.
"Watch out! That's a full power guillotine!" On the screen you could actually see fear on Leon's face. Ghana jumped off the force field and charged at Leon's direction, then you saw a smirk on his face. They collided Leon got pushed back, but was visibly hurt. "A student that was actually able to damage Leon!" Dean Dark cheered.
"She did more than damage he's very low on stamina" Blaze looked at the Orb screen to see both status. "He's in the red" we all jumped to look at his screen and he was right.
"Ghana I have to commend you for bringing me this far, but this match is set" Leon started moving slowly.
"It would seem thanks to endure Leon was able to survive the hit!" The crowd cheered once more.
"I'm no pushover" Ghana spat.
"Is that so" Leon's tail flame started to ignite with many different colors like a rainbow. "Let's test that out" Flames started erupting from his direction in waves covering the whole field. "Now rise!" The flames erupted like a volcano in many different colors "Inferno!"
"I don't expect Ghana to stand up after this. With a powerful fire move like Inferno and Leon's ability Blaze" Zack didn't look away from the screen.
The inferno simmered and the whole field was burnt to a crisp and Ghana on the ground.
"The winner of the Chroma League tournament is Leon Soryu, leader of Team:Iron!" Confetti was shot and ribbons were shot. On the screen it said champion Leon Soryu and to the right were the names of the other students and their placing.
"I guess the League is over" Mona spoke slowly.
"Damn straight, now to see which students get to stay at the school" Liz spoke in her nasty punk tone.
"That's right" I hugged Lucifer who was asleep in my lap. Student cuts happened at the end of the semester and the new transfer students were introduced. Will any of us get cut?
Action: Okay, will any of our main characters get cut?
Tyler: I take it as a yes.
Liz: Then who?
Action: You never know.
Mona: Keep reading to find out.
Skye: We're almost done with the first arc, so stay tuned.
Blaze: Just saying for one arc this is way longer than High school daze.
Zack: Stop we're supposed to end the chapter.
Lucifer: Come back please.
Tyler: That's my cute son.
Action: Don't forget to fav, follow and review and keep reading the next and final main chapter of this arc is already out.
Everyone: Bye!
