Chapter 4 : reunion and new challenges

*Raoh's house *

Raoh and Haitham spent the week sparring , it was the first time in Haitham's life that he felt weak and powerless . No matter how he tries to attack Raoh , it was like Raoh knew what was Haitham's next move even faints didn't work on Raoh . Raoh didn't take any efforts in avoiding Haitham's moves effortlessly and didn't even need to parry Haitham's attacks he just avoided them even though Haitham's speed could not be followed by normal human's eyes . Raoh decided to take it up a step , when Haitham was coming at Raoh , Raoh didn't move at all and Haitham hit him with the most powerful strike he had filled with ki to strike Raoh inner organs but what happened next made Haitham shiver , Raoh was standing there unharmed and Haitham got pushed back toward the wall with a loud bang .

-but how? -

-remember what I showed you at the rock earlier ? swift star is everything , it uses everything whether it was your body, your surroundings and even your opponent -

-so you basically used my power against me ? -

-you could said that, we are done sparring for the day . I will take you to a place to develop your strength and senses next week-

Gray was still sparring with Drake and Ken and his speed picked up a notch , his strength and agility increased by 200 this week .

Gray ,Raoh,Ken and Drake went to have lunch together . Gray's mind was occupied with lots of things but what occupied most of his thoughts a book that he found in the dragon's chamber where he met Drake , he decided to keep it hidden and read it later . Gray opened the book

You found the book of the world's hidden history

Gray started reading the book which was the size of 20 books after finishing the book he got 100 int and 100 wis which was weird for reading a book .

The book basically talked about the history of the world where there was the tribe of gray dragons which was rumored to be the strongest dragons throughout time and a about a goddess called Atlanta who was considered the strongest god at that time .

the leader of gray dragons tribe and the Atlanta fell in love and had a son . This event didn't turn out well when the world's gods and dragons heard about that so they decided to annihilate the goddess and the gray dragons tribe , they couldn't do that alone so they made an alliance with the whole world's races to do that . Eventually they almost succeeded but the gray dragons tribe leader used the last inch of his power to seal his wife and child in a forgotten abyss . After that the alliance tried to kill but they failed so they decided to seal him for good .

Gray decided to go and ask Drake about that

-Gray WHERE DID YOU HEAR ALL THAT ? -

- a book I found in your chamber -

-it is true , I wasn't planning in telling you that because the only one who can open that seal is my son and he will only do that if he recognize a companion because his mother is in a frozen state since she lost her powers protecting him -

Gray was dazzled at what he just confirmed .

-Gray-

-yes ? -

- I want you to try getting my wife and son back -

-can't you do that ? -

-no I told you my son not to even open the seal for me -

Gray thought for a while then

-so where is it ? -

Drake looked happy upon hearing that then said

- I will take you there -

Kara whispered her dad in game

-Dad , I just got a message saying the swift star successor has been decided -

-I know I got that as well , I think it is time that we give your uncle a visit -

-WHAT? YOU MEAN WE ARE GOING TO VISIT THAT MAN -

-calm down Kara he is your uncle -

- but you know uncle Raoh , nothing good ever happens from visiting him -

Kara finished talking to her father and thought what will happen this time since the last time they visited her uncle , he sparred with her dad and beat him in a fight . That was the first time she ever see her father get beaten by someone but what occupied her thoughts was who was that successor that her uncle recognized as his successor , he must be incredibly strong .

Drake and Gray teleported to what seems kind of dungeon

-Gray I will leave the rest to you since I can't get in there with you -

Gray entered the dungeon , the weird thing there were no monsters nothing but there was a some kind of shell that looked like an egg covering a door . Suddenly the shell emitted a bright light that blinds the eye and broke . In place of the shell there was a 12 year old child standing , he had gray hair and red crimson eyes and he looked so handsome , that face of his can probably seduce all the women in the world .

- I have been expecting you -

The child say to that Gray, he was surprised how could he expect him ?

-how ? -

-my father told me someday there will be someone who comes in here and I will set my judgement on him whether he is a fit to be my companion or not and I even get the choice to kill him or let him stay alive . However I can sense that you have a huge potential in you and that you will bring me lots of fun and adventure and make me even stronger in the future -

The door behind the child opened up and behind it stood a woman , she was so beautiful with her black hair and red crimson eyes with a breath taking body that can make all the men and women alike dazzled . She was beautiful yet fearful .

-that's my mother -

"That is the world's strongest goddess for you so pretty yet so scary -

A sad look appeared on the child's face .

-the only one who can get her out of this state is my father but he is sealed in far away place -

-cheer up kid , your dad is waiting for you guys outside -

-WHAT? is dad really here ? -

tears began to form in the child's eyes and Drake seemed to get into the cave unnoticed by the child and Gray because they were busy talking

-Ryuken , son how long has it been -

the child ran toward his father and hugged him , crying all the years of waiting in here helplessly to wait for someone , Ryuken turned toward his mother .

-Dad -

-I know son -

suddenly Gray stepped up

-Drake , how will you free her? you told me that you used the last ounce of your strength to get out of that damned chamber and only had the strength to make 3 teleports .

-I have locked a little bit of my powers just in case for an event like this -

Drake walked toward the woman and a rainbow light came out of his hand , then the woman started to open her eyes .

-DRAKE , RYUKEN!! -

the woman began to cry and hugged her son and husband

-I don't mean to interrupt a family reunion , but how will we get out of here ? -

-Don't worry child , my husband told me long time ago about you and the power he just used was transferred to me , I have enough power to teleport us back .

-do you guys mind me asking how could such presence as yours was hidden all those years ? -

-Well, victors write the history -

-true enough -

suddenly a light engulfed the 4 of them and they were back in Raoh's house , then Drake and Atlanta stepped toward Gray

-We will leave our son to you , we can't let the world know that we are free since we don't have our powers back and even if we did , we can't let the history repeat itself -

-where will you go ? -

- We will go hide some place in order to gain our power back , but for now we will need your help in making our son stronger and make an army so we can live safely in the world -

* beep beep *

Quest : World's strongest army

Description : Atlanta and Drake have asked you to get stronger with Ryuken , their son and gather an army enough to keep the other world's powers at bay

Difficulty : SSS

Requirement : Maximum intimacy with Ryuken and Drake

Rewards : Unknown

-HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE ? HOW CAN SOMEONE'S ELSE LEVEL BE HIGHER THAN US ? -

-calm down Mike , I know you had your pride as TOW's leader board first , but getting angry won't help us getting anywhere -

-I know Akira , but what do you suggest us doing ? -

-lets just wait even though we have a billion player in our guild , but these 3 people kept their presence well enough that they went unnoticed by the 3 billion players in TOW -

-JUST WAIT ?!?!? -

-look Mike , time will reveal who are these players and when they do -

A grin showed on Akira's face

- we will force them to join us or we will make them quit -

-how ? -

- come on Mike , I think getting angry got in the way of your thinking . We have 1 billion player in our guild remember ? it is easy to deploy all the members to target these 3 people and no matter how strong they are , crushing 1 billion people is impossible -

The meeting of the strong six finished. Akira,Mike,Abdul,Fred,John,Sam were the best 6 rankers in TOW and the head of the biggest guild "The Savages " .

The bell of Raoh's mansion rang . Haitham was surprised , since his master never had guests .

-Haitham I will open the door I think I know who is it -

when Raoh opened the door , Haitham was baffled at what he just saw

-YOU !! -

-hahaha kid I guess you are the one -

Haitham was surprised the man he fought at the karate dojo . He had green eyes and blonde hair , 2.20 meters tall with monstrous body that only fell second to his master , but what surprised Haitham the most was the girl next to that man .

-Ryuu , I was expecting you . I would like you to meet the successor of the swift star : Haitham -

-hahahaha I already had a spare with that young man -

-oh did you ? -

Raoh looked toward Haitham

-I guess that is why Ken told me he saw you so gloomy before you came to meet me , anyways lets go inside -

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

The four went inside the house and sat together , a maid brought tea to them and left them in their solitary . There was an intense Aura coming from the girl toward Haitham .

-Haitham I would like you to meet my daughter ; Kara the successor of the Ancient Dragon , your lifetime rival -

-hmm rivals , Ryuu what do you say we let them have a spare ? -

-Sure -

They went toward the monstrous dojo that Raoh had . Both Haitham and Kara got into their fighting stance . They stood there for one hour doing nothing but they were actually shadow fighting , then they both charged at the same time toward each others. Their speed was scary and the power of their punches was even scarier , you could feel a strong wind coming out of their punches . They kept going like that for 4 hours then Kara's stance changed .

- I will show you what it means to be the Ancient Dragon successor -

Kara charged toward Haitham , this time Haitham had a strange feeling about her attack , he felt that he must avoid this attack but unfortunately the attack was so fast that Haitham back stepped to avoid it but somehow a weird energy charged toward him and assaulted him knocking him on the ground . He couldn't move his body an inch . Raoh and Ryuu stepped forward toward their disciples . everyone noticed that Haitham had this pace of being in pain , but it wasn't the pain of Kara's punch but the pain of the second defeat.

-cheer up kid , I knew you weren't ready to face her that is why I allowed this spare . Did you expect to have a chance against the Ancient Dragon successor who spent her whole life training while you just became the successor weeks ago ? -

Kara extended toward Haitham to help him stand up .

-You are the strongest opponent I have fought this far , I will recognize you as my rival but you will have to get stronger than that -

Haitham couldn't help but smile after hearing those words .

-I promise you , no matter how much time it takes I won't stay this weak -

- OK it is a promise , swift star successor -

Ryuu and Kara left leaving Haitham and Raoh alone .

-I am sorry master , I failed you -

-cheer up kid , I told you I wasn't expecting that you hold her back this much , the technique she just used was the dragon fist it is one of the strongest attacks in the ancient dragon style -

-master , I want to do what ever it takes to get stronger -

-that is the spirit kid , for now I won't teach you any techniques . We will go somewhere that will make you stronger -

Raoh and Haitham were in "The Death Zone " ; 500 years ago genetic scientists made a breakthrough research where they produced unprecedented creatures with unbelievable strength , unfortunately the research got back on them and the animals went berserk killing the researches and destroying the lab . Ever since that accident "The Death Zone " became a rumor where no one knew where it was and even if they knew , they wouldn't get even close to that area .

-master is that area really exists -

-you will see kid -

They were in a far away island that it took them 10 hours to get there in J22 ; J22 was the fastest jet in the world with the speed of 10000 kilometers per hour . Master Raoh reaction changed .

-stay back kid I feel the presence of another human here -

Raoh went toward the presence he felt , the only reason Haitham couldn't sense that presence because it seemed that the owner of that presence was a scary monster .

Raoh was surprised at what he saw . A woman was sitting their and seemed to be mediating . All of the sudden she was next to Raoh .

-not bad woman -

-who are you ? -

The woman had a blonde hair with blue eyes, she was so pretty that you prefer to just stare at her for eternity . On the other side she was 2.30 meters with huge boobs and a breath taking ass .

- I think I should ask this question -

The woman attacked Raoh all of the sudden and he parried her attacks , Raoh was surprised at the power of her punches. No one , not even Ryuu was able to push him back with power , it seemed that if he didn't get serious with her , she will beat his ass. Raoh directed his palm toward her and a shock wave toward her that knocked her back , but she was still standing on her feet .

-The name is Valkyrie stranger -

-Raoh, what are you doing here ? I thought there was supposed to be no one in here -

-I was born here -

Raoh and Valkyrie kept talking for hours , till Haitham got to them since his master took a long time and still didn't come back .

-Hey Haitham, this is Valkyrie . It seems that the scientists didn't only create strange creatures , but also created a human or shall I say modified humans.

Raoh explained to Haitham about Valkyrie and that she is the head of her tribe of modified humans , a better word to describe them would be super humans . Valkyrie told them to get back with her to her tribe's village . Raoh told Valkyrie to wait then he came back in a truck .

-master , what is that? -

-capsules and food supplies -

-but why the truck-

- well , I thought we would need extra capsules -

-how many capsules in there? and how will we be able to connect them in here without any internet connections -

-hahahaha kid , don't worry about that . These capsules could get internet signals even if we were in the arctic -

They rode in the truck and arrived at some kind of settlements that had big wooden fences and a big gate that could fit 20 men easily . Raoh face turned toward Valkyrie

-do you expect these wooden fences to hold on their own against the creatures of this island ? -

-huh? no one can break this wooden fences -

Raoh wanted to check that and he hit the wooden fence with raw power , it was harder than diamonds . " I guess they did research the plants as well "

When the three of them got at the gate , there was a sight that made Haitham drop his jaw .

-Master I guess there are people who are bigger than you in the world hahahaha -

Two guards were standing at the gate and they seemed to be 3 meters tall , when they saw Valkyrie they opened the gate immediately and let the truck in .

After they walked to Valkyrie house , Raoh kept talking to Valkyrie about the village and how they choose the head of their tribe and all the small details .

In a nutshell , the head of the tribe has to be the strongest person in the village . The village had 1000 people . At first Haitham expected the village to not know what a computer is , but it wouldn't' be wrong to say that the technology of the village may even surpass the technology of the outside world . " I guess they didn't only make them strong and giants but smart as well "

5 people barged in the room

-ms.Valkyrie who are they ? -

they seemed to be in fighting stance

-relax they are my guests -

-Raoh,Haitham , I would like to introduce you my generals : Toki,Falcon,Gon,Kaiser,Basel -

If Haitham thought the 2 guards out there giants , he was wrong now . The 4 generals were about 3.50 meters tall and the one called Basel was 4 meters tall . The 5 generals sat with the other 3 and Valkyrie explained how she met Raoh .

-So this is the guy who will be your husband ? -

-WHAT? -

Haitham was surprised by how easy the guy called Basel just said that Raoh will be Valkyrie's husband .

- I made a vow , that I won't marry a man unless he is as strong as me , but I won't marry till I take a liking to that person since I believe in love -

A grin showed on Raoh's face . Raoh obviously loved women , but he never found any women that satisfy his requirements . He wanted strong, smart woman who wouldn't be scared of him due to his size like most women do .

- I guess we can date hahahaha -

Raoh winked at Valkyrie . Valkyrie didn't blush as most women do when talking about such things and that made Raoh like her even more , he didn't specifically be strong physically but he wanted her to have a strong personality and fearless.

- so Raoh, you told me that you brought capsules with you , is that for the newly game that's called TOW? -

-yeah , I guess you heard about it since you have this much of an advanced technology -

-yes, but we never gave it that much attention since its cyber and all that shit -

- well my lady , in that you are wrong , from experience you should try it -

-I guess I will give it a shot , how many capsules do you have in there ? -

-I brought 8 capsules just in case one of them broke down -

-That's perfect , since there are 8 of us here , I will tell the village's engineers to create more capsules for the village. I assume it would take them about 1 week -

* 1 year later *

- so Kara what do you think about that guy Haitham-

-he is not bad -

-"not bad " ? hahahaha that is the first time I hear you call someone not bad , could it possibly that you fell in love ? -

Ryuu tried to embarrass his daughter but Kara wouldn't get embarrassed on such trivial things.

-"Love" hmm that is a big word dad . Eventually we will figure that out me and him -

Suddenly Ryuu's cell rang

-hey Ryuu -

-what a surprise Raoh, what's up ? -

-I got a big surprise for you , send Kara into the death zone -

- death zone ? I guess it is a good place for training -
