The Battle Royale Tournament has begun, Serena, Dubnet, Damian, Tesla, Teru, Maka and Dayve are through to the next round. After an electrifying round between Dayve and Erraz with different displays of incredible potentials, the last group, Group H having Kevine vs Kevla vs Borro are about to have their match.

“This is a tale of humans, beasts, and beings from other worlds. A tale of girl who wants to surpass the strongest; no this is their tale. A tale of hope. A tale of Flaming Light.”

Axion and Jergens, having invaded the Central Plains through the southern border are trying to make their way to meet up with their comrades. In the blink of an eye, Axion eliminates some of the soldiers watching the border but as they advance they come to a halt after sensing a strong presence ahead.

One of the Generals of the Central Plains and his vice along with some other soldiers, stand in front of them.

Axion is quite handsome, he has black silky spiky hair, a pair of black eyes with an unbothered calm look and a fair skin. He is clad in a long black jacket which has a hood, a black T-shirt, a pair of black trousers and black boots. Strapped to his back is a sheathed sword and on his waist, two short swords.

Jergens, on the other hand, has long curly dark brown hair, a pair of light gray eyes, beards on his chin and a fair skin. He is dressed in a long white jacket with grey furs at the collars and tip of each sleeve. The jacket reaches down to his knee level and is all buttoned. He is also wearing a pair of eyeglasses, a pair of black trousers and a pair of black boots with some grey fur on each.

Unlike Axion, Jergens is not carrying any weapon, as it seems.

The general standing in front of them takes a step forward. He is wearing an ancient samurai straw hat which has a cone shape and it covers some part of his face such that his eyes are not easily seen. Also, he is putting on, a navy blue shirt with tiny collars, a bulletproof like vest, a pair of brown arm guards with gold linings, a pair of navy blue trousers and boots with gold linings round. He has two sheathed swords strapped to one side of his waist. He gives off the vibe of a “ninja-samurai”.

“Who the hell are you guys?” He says with a deep voice.

Axion and Jergens remain silent and Axion takes a step forward. From his eyes, you can tell that he has no fear in him.

“I’ll handle this,” he says to Jergens.

“This is a general and a comrade of the legendary swordsman, Alexander Kensora. Don’t you think he’s too much for you?” Jergens replies.

“Not to worry, I’m sure I’ll finish this. Besides, being a comrade of Alexander Kensora, is all the more reason I want to fight him,” Axion responds.

The General states, “You look around the same age as those kids in Glory Academy participating in the Glory games. I don’t think you’re in the right place kid.”

Axion keeping a straight face replies, “I would prefer if I’m not compared to such. A general right? Let’s see how long you can last against me.”

The general takes hold of one of his swords as huge amount of energy is released. He says, “For a kid, you have a big mouth. As the General of the ninth division of the Central Plains, I shall not spare you.”

“Anya,” he adds, referring to his Vice.

“Sir,” she responds, ready to battle.

“Take out the other while I deal with this arrogant brat,” he instructs.

“Yes sir,” Anya, the Vice General responds.

Meanwhile at the Battle Royale Tournament...

“Amazing!!!” the commentators scream, “Who would have thought that Maka would turn out to be something so special? Just look at the amount of power emanating from her.”

Suddenly, the monstrous power springing from the transformed Maka dissipates and Maka directs her gaze at Serena. Dubnet and Teru, facing each other, stay still as they steal a glance at Maka. The mysterious being within Teru thinks to himself saying, “Celestial Dragon, interesting. I never thought I’d cross paths with your offspring. My powers are still restricted to this body’s level so my original twenty five percent isn’t what I’m exerting now. That being said, seems like the fight with Damian has weakened this body furthermore; I’ll have to end this quickly.”

Serena looks at Maka with her eyes wide open, surprised at the transformation and level of power just displayed. She, however, snaps back and with her body cloaked in lightning, swiftly rushes to land a high kick on Maka’s temple (a part of the body – the head region). Without turning, Maka easily blocks the attack with her right hand. Instantly, blue flames form around Serena’s leg as she presses the leg down against Maka’s right hand trying to breakthrough, slightly causing a crack on Maka’s skin. Maka flips her hand and tightly grips Serena’s leg but Serena, quick to respond, unleashes a powerful attack against Maka.

“With Lightning and fire fusion, fall, Maka!!!” Serena shouts, executing the assault with her right hand having a combination of a large amount of blue flames enshrouded with lightning sparks.

Fiercely, she slams her palm against Maka’s face.

“Lightning Style: Darkness Destroyer!!!”

BOOOMMMM!!!

A mighty explosion resounds as the attack blows up everything in its path. However, Maka remains standing, still with a firm grip of Serena’s leg, unharmed, while the path behind her has been blown up.

“Is that the best you can do?” Maka teases and using Serena’s leg, pulls Serena towards her. She lets go of the leg and slams Serena’s stomach with a very heavy punch.

BOOM!

The force from the impact of the punch creates a powerful wave that sweeps across several meters, shattering everything behind Serena including the ground. Serena spews a great deal of blood from mouth wide open. Without delay, Maka uses her left knee to land a weighty jab at Serena’s right side, cracking her ribs and then, hits the left side of Serena’s face with a swift and heavy kick.

WHACK!!!

Serena feels the kick deep in her head as her eyes fade to white.

CRACK!!!

The attack from Maka, cracks Serena’s skull as she drops to the ground, first on her knees then falls flat, unconscious, knocked out.

“Humph! I’ll end this now,” Maka says as she begins to levitate, soaring high in the air. At the tip of her tiny horn placed at the middle of her forehead, a ball of red aura begins to form, exuding powerful heat waves.

Suddenly, the ground starts to rumble vigorously, rock particles float in the air and sparks of lightning begin emanating from Serena’s body.

“What?” Maka says within herself. “What’s this tingling sensation?” She adds as she feels slight spark of lightning on her hand as does everyone else.

At the Royals viewing room...

“What’s this? Do you feel those sparks too, Kiiara?” May asks.

“Yeah. What exactly is going on?” Kiiara replies.

Diana smiles and stands. “Hmm, interesting...” she says.

Everyone is perplexed as to how that tingling sensation is reaching them and also wondering what the source of such sensation is.

Back at the fighting platform which has been lifted high into the sky by Damian during his battle with Teru in which he lost...

Maka, looking at Serena’s body while charging her energy ball, says, “I don’t know what you’re planning to do but I won’t give you the chance to.”

Disappear!!!

Immediately, she fires the red ball of heat at Serena with immense speed. The ball moves fast with a streak of red light and upon impact, creates a massive explosion which disperses huge waves across the battlefield, causing violent rumbles.

“Incredible,” Tesla says turning her gaze at Maka at that moment.

“Interesting, to think that there’s another Celestial this powerful. Though, it seems compared to the mysterious being within me, she’s still growing,” Teru says to himself, indicating that he has switched back to controlling his body.
