Screen opens to Ethan running through the Dark Forest with Tanis in his backpack. Ethan wearing his Training armor.
Tanis- So Ethan what did Helen do with those pictures Phara took of you and Winnie?
Ethan- Uh!?
Screen changes to Ethan look at a big picture frame made of wood saying just married and has the pictures Phara took.
Ethan- Mom! What the hell is this!
Helen-Ow don't you like it son. Take it as punishment for allowing Phara to taking those pictures.
Ethan [Embarrassed]- Really! Why!?
Helen [Happy]- Ha Ha. It's the consequences of your actions son. Now come your breakfast is ready.
Screen changes back to Ethan and Tanis.
Ethan- Let's just say she has her way with punishments.
Tanis [Confused]- Uh? Ok. So where are we heading to.
Ethan- A tomb I found while researching the Data-Cron I found.
Tanis- Wait shouldn't we bring along the others. Or did you forget what happened the last time you investigated a tomb.
Ethan- Ya. But this time I know more about the tomb. And the the other two time I was forced into them.
Tanis- Hu! I guess your right about that. Ha Ha.
Ethan- There one more thing I need you to do for me Tanis.
Tanis- And what would be that Master?
As Ethan jumps from tree to tree. He turns his head and look Tanis in the eyes.
Ethan- I need you to keep this from the other girls.
Tanis- But why!?
Ethan- Well they've been spying on me a lot more then normal. And I'm worried there looking for something from the Data-Cron's I've been gathering.
Tanis- That crazy. They would never do that.
Ethan- I'm not so sure of that Tanis. I'm worried the Magic Court telling them to do more then just report on my training progress.
Tanis- Well if they ever tell us that I'll be the first to tell you.
Ethan- Ha thanks. Now let get to the tomb and get this over with before it gets dark out.
Tanis- Sure thing I'm hanging on right behind you. Ha Ha.
Screen pulls out showing a crystal ball and Kalen watching them inside a room full of scrolls and Data-Cron's.
Kalen- Ha. You better be ready for this Ethan.
Screen changes to Ethan and Kalen in combat there swords clash with great speed and strength. Until Kalen blast Ethan back with a telekinesis. Ethan launched backwards but lands on his feet. Ethan then charged back at Kalen. Kalen blast Ethan with [Dark Purple] lightning but he manages to block it with his sword and continue to charge at Kalen.
Ethan- That wont work on me old man! Hu!?
That when Kalen lightly moved his hand that blows out the candles in the room then turned off his weapon. As the room fell into darkness it began to consume Kalen.
Ethan [Surprised]- I don't what your doing Kalen but I wont let you get away with it! Hu!?
Ethan swings his blade at Kalen but as it goes through him he turns into black smoke and disappears. Ethan look around only seeing darkness.
Ethan [Thoughts]- What the hell is this? I can't see or hear anything.
Kalen- That simple apprentice I've cloaked my Aura.
Ethan turns to where he heard Kalen voice. But see's nothing.
Ethan- Ha! Jokes on you I can just sense you through my Aura sight. Hu!
Ethan closed his eyes but he can't sense Kalen Aura at all just darkness.
Ethan- What!? Why can't I sense you Kalen!
Kalen- Ha Ha Ha! You really think there was no ability to counter Aura Sight. How naïve of you descendent.
Ethan [Thoughts]- Dam it. I can't see anything. I have to keep trying. Before he UH!
Ethan still had his eyes closes looking around trying to sense Kalen but he only saw darkness. That when Kalen impales Ethan through the chest killing him instantly. Kalen then relight the candles by moving his hand where the candles are at.
Kalen- Nice try descendent but there's always more for you to learn. And many counters to be prepared for.
Ethan [Pain]- Uh gee thanks old man. I have a few questions I wanted to ask you. Old man.
Kalen- About what? Descendent.
Ethan- You called me here to talk about that sword I used against Jason right.
Kalen- Jason? Ah! Yes the Alpha Werewolf you where defeated by.
Ethan- More like stood no chance against. So now tell about that sword.
Kalen-The Data-Cron's you brought me. Revealed that True Alpha separated his soul into his sword and Armor. If you bring me the armor I might be able to seal his spirit. And you can use his Aura like the Rangers do.
Ethan- I was hardly able to keep my sanity using his sword. I don't think I could do the same with the armor.
Kalen- Be thankful you have me. I will train you to use the armor as a last resort. But if you do manage to control it you'll be more powerful then the entire Werewolf Council. So what do you say.
Ethan- Hm. I think I don't have much of a choice in the matter. If anyone else finds that armor it could use it against us.
Kalen- That why I'll be training you this week to deal with the traps that protect the armor. Then you'll head to the the tomb of the True Alpha this Saturday.
Ethan- Uh! Could we do it this Sunday.
Kalen- No. There is no full moon then. Also why not! Don't tell me your hanging out with that Werewolf again.
Ethan- Um. Well you see I promised to train Tanis more this week. But I'll bring her along to help.
Kalen [Mad]. Uh! You and those Monster Girls are going to get yourself killed.
Ethan- I told you before there not the same monsters that betrayed our family.
Kalen-I know. But if you do bring your slave makes sure she doesn't cause you any trouble.
Ethan- Tanis is no slave. Now are we going to continue are training or not.
Kalen- Ha. When she betrays you remember what I told you. So lets continue.
Kalen activated his sword that glowed a dark Red while Ethan glowed Red. They stair each other down as the candles in the place blow out and the screen goes black. Screen changes to Ethan and Tanis Infront of the True Alpha Tomb.
[True Alpha Tomb Description- A giant Pyramid built into a mountain to hide it from grave robbers. The green moss makes it harder to see while being near a swamp land of Barren Bog].
Ethan- Alright Tanis wait here I'll retrieve the Data-Cron inside.
Tanis- I still don't understand why I can't go with you brother.
Ethan- From what I've read about the tomb powered by a Alchemy Data-Cron that creates Monsters to defend the tomb. And watches those that enter the tomb and defends itself according to the threat.
Tanis- Hm. You mean it alive!?
Ethan- Sort of. Anyways I'll be back shortly.
Tanis- Wait! What if your in trouble or get badly hurt.
Ethan- Tanis I'll be fine. Stay here and practice your meditation. I will return alright.
Ethan place his hand on Tanis shoulder.
Ethan- But if I need you I will call you.
Tanis smiles and hugs Ethan. He gently pat her back as the screen changes inside the tomb. An open room hallway that leads to tomb burial chamber. As Ethan walked down the hallway Kalen appears in his pyramid form.
[Wann-Bats Descriptions- Are giant bats that move at high speed. They blind in the dark but are easy to see at night. There carnivores and hunt in packs of three's. They hate light and will stay away from it and wont attack with anything with light near or around them].
Ethan [Thoughts]- Hm. This has been to easy. There where only Wonn-Bats.
Kalen- There it is the burial chamber of True Alpha.
Ethan- You seem excited to see a dead man.
Kalen- Seeing him dead brings me such joy. After all he's done to me.
Ethan- So how do you plan to have me use the armor? I can hardly control the sword.
Kalen- There are ancient seals and Alchemy techniques that our family used to help seal the magic coins the rangers use. So it should be hard to seal his soul. HU!?
As Ethan reach half way through the hallway fire pits light up in black flame as Werewolf knight armor walk out of the fire pits. Ethan pulls out and activates his Moon sword. The blade burns light blue. As they attack Ethan he jumps and dodges them as he talks to Kalen.
[Werewolf Knight Armor- The armor is massive to match the size of Werewolf's the gloves have sharpened edges. The armor was Black Silver with glowing red eyes that sign through the armor helmet. There carrying heavy two handed knight swords that burn Dark Red silver].

Ethan- Any tips Kalen.
Kalen- A few. Those pit will continue to produce those Werewolf knights so I recommend you run for the door. Now!
Ethan cuts down a few nights as the fire created more but he kept pushing forward as screen changes back to Tanis opens her eyes in a panic feeling something gone wrong. She gets up and look at the entrance. Then try's to contact him with her communicator.
Tanis [Worried]- Uh! I can't sense Ethan anymore. Hello master can you hear me! . . Please answer me!
The radio communicator just had static.
Tanis- Um. What should I do?
Tanis gets lost in her thoughts as the Screen changes to Ethan home back yard where Helen and Tanis are meditating. With birds not far away from them eating the grass.
Tanis- Uh. I don't understand Helen.
Helen- Understand what Tanis?
Tanis- I don't get how you do War Meditation. I've been trying to do it but I failing.
Helen- Well it took me nearly a month of non stop training to understand the basics of many of my ability's.
Tanis- I guess so.
Helen wraps her hand around Tanis shoulder and smiles happy.
Helen- Ha. You need to be more positive while training. You remind me a lot of myself when I was young.
Tanis [Confused]- Uh? Really?
Helen- Uh Hu. Then the attack of Muddy Creek happened. After all of it I was lost. Broken and kept training hard but felt like I was getting no where. That was until I signed up to the military and met my husband who got me to smile. He also showed me what I lost over the years of carrying so much Envy. And I remember what I truly lost.
Tanis [Confused]- And what did you lose?
Helen [Smile]- Ha. My child hood.
Tanis thought for a moment and images of her staying away from the rangers and the other monster girls trying to quote with being burned. Hiding her pain and then finally meeting Ethan and Helen and how they treat her as a daughter. Tanis then look at Helen who was smiling. And hug Helen. She gently rubbed her back.
Helen- Hu!?
Tanis- Thank you! Mom.
Helen- Easy there. Your going to scare the birds away. [Relaxing Humming].
Screen changes back to Tanis who sits back down Infront of the tomb and begin meditating again after taking a deep breath.
Tanis [Deep Breath]- Ok. I can do this I just need to focus.
Screen changes back to Ethan has he cuts down more Werewolf knights while running to the door down the hallway.
Ethan- Dam it they just keep coming.
Kalen- Stop fighting them they wont stop forming from those Alchemy fire pits.
Ethan- I'm trying my best. But they wont get out of my way.
Ethan [Thoughts]- It's a good thing there not as fast as Winnie. But they are just as strong.
Ethan manages to speed dash past the Werewolf but when he gets close to the door it slamed closed.
Ethan- Ow come on!
Kalen- Quick smash through the door!
Ethan- Wo! That sort of hard while these knights are after me!
Tanis communicates Ethan through his thoughts.
Tanis [Thoughts]- Ethan can you hear me.
This surprised Ethan and Kalen.
Ethan- Tanis!? How did you manage to communicate with me through my thoughts.
Tanis- I learned it from Helen while I hanged out with you.
Kalen- Hm. Impressive maybe I was wrong about your slave.
Ethan- Quite Kalen she'll hear you.
Kalen- Do not worry I made sure she wont hear us. Now focus on getting that door open.
Tanis- Ethan do you need my help!? You sound like your in trouble!
Ethan- No I'm good. . Tanis!
As Ethan use a telekinesis wave to blast back the werewolf knights and use telekinesis to blast open the door. After Ethan gets through the door he slams it closed. Ethan takes a deep breath then he injects himself with a ectoplasm shot as he turns around. The room had six Werewolf statue kneeling holding up a fire pit that lit up the room with regular fire. There two werewolf knights statue guarding the stone coffin with a Data-Cron on top of it. As Ethan makes his way to the coffin. Shadow Werewolf's attack Ethan there speed is almost as strong as his forcing Ethan to defend and fight his way to the Data -Cron.
Tanis- Look out Ethan!
Ethan dodges the two shadow werewolf. And cuts them down with a simple sword strike as ten more walk out of the shadows.
Tanis- Are you alright?
Ethan- Ya I am. But It seems I found more trouble.
Tanis- I sense these werewolf's are stronger then the other ones you've fight against there almost as strong as Winnie. You need to remove the Data-Cron now descendent.
Ethan- I can agree with that.
Ethan dash to the Data-Cron but is forced to get creative and dodge there attacks and mix telekinesis and [Blue] Lightning to push the statues back but there able to tank any of his attempts.
Kalen- Stop wasting your Aura and grab the Data-Cron already!
Ethan- I'm trying to! Give me a brake! Wo!
As Ethan approached the coffin the two stone Werewolf statue Knights with sphere's moved trying to strike Ethan he dodge and grabs the Data-Cron ripping it off the coffin. After yanking it the statues crumbles into dust. And the Shadow Werewolf's faded away.
Ethan [Deep Breath]- Pew! That was a close one.
Tanis- Ow thank the gods. Your ok brother.
Kalen- Good work descendent. Now open the sarcophagus and retrieve the armor. HU!?
Than when the the stone sarcophagus opened with great force the top launched off and lands on the other side of the sarcophagus. As the armor rise from the sarcophagus and stands before Ethan looking at him. Ethan gets up and placed the Data-Cron inside his back pack.

Ethan- That's True Alpha!
True Alpha- Ha. Yes. And it feels good to be alive again. Right Kalen.
Kalen- Gr! Ethan listen carefully you'll have to use his sword to kill him again. It's the only way.
Ethan- Are you nuts I can hardly control it last time.
Kalen- He's managed to bond hid soul to control his armor he's not as strong as he was while alive. However he is still much stronger then you. So you have no choice. I'll help you the best I can from losing control.
Ethan- Dam it Kalen.
Tanis [Worried]- Ethan I sense he's more powerful then even Elean. You need to get out of there now before he kills you.
Ethan- No worry's Tanis. I know how to stop him. Ancient Power Warlock!
Ethan Warlock armor appears on him and he activate the True Alpha Blade that burns Dark Red with Black cracks.
True Alpha- Ha. That old blade is nothing compared to my new blade now come human. Die off like the rest of your race.
Ethan- I don't think so, True Alpha Blade!
That when Tanis feels pain trying to remain in contact with Ethan.
Tanis- Ahhh! What is this pain. Ethan what going on? Hu!?
Tanis see's Ethan Aura.
Tanis- Ethan no you shouldn't give in to your rage.
Ethan- I said I'll be fine little sis ok.
Ethan smiles and charges at attacks True Alpha. He blocks Ethan assault.
True Alpha- Ha. I'm not as strong due to this armor. But I wont allow a human like you to kill me.
True Alpha slams back into Ethan going on the attack. How ever Ethan matches his strikes only taking a few steps back. Until Ethan brakes off and takes a few steps back.
True Alpha- Hm. Impressive. A lesser human soul would have gave in to my sword power. But still I sense it slowly taking over your body you wont last much longer. And your body will be mine. AWOOOOOOO!
True Alpha leaps at Ethan who launches a fallen pillar at Alpha but he smashes through it with a single punch. And attacks Ethan who defends against his attack. Screen changes to Tanis her eyes opening in panic.
Tanis- This isn't good at this rate Ethan will be consumed by dark Aura. I have to try a reach him.
Tanis Blue Ruby's glowed as she went back into meditation. Screen changes back to Ethan who blast True Alpha back with a Repulse slamming him into his sarcophagus.
Kalen- Descendent! Descendent! Dam it! He's losing control again. What should I do.
Ethan- AWOOOOO! GRR!
True Alpha- Ha Ha. Yes give in to my Aura. It's the only way you can kill me.
Tanis [Thoughts]- Ethan please listen to me! AH!
Ethan charges at Alpha Armor and began overwhelming the armor as it try's to defend his attacks.
Tanis [Thoughts]- No. Even with my ruby's giving me extra Aura I still can't reach him.
Kalen- Maybe I can help you little mummy Elf.
Tanis- Hu!? Who are you?
Kalen- A friend of Ethan. I unable to reach him. However since your closest to him you should be able to reach him. If I give you the strength to that is.
Tanis- Why should I trust you? You could be tricking me.
Kalen- Because if we don't Ethan will die. So make your choice quickly.
Tanis manages to sense Ethan losing control and becoming more animal like with his attacks and True Alpha toying with him. Light cutting him.
Tanis- Alright help me save my brother.
Kalen- Alright listen carefully and I shall lend you my Aura.
Screen changes back to Ethan and True Alpha. Alpha blast Ethan to the other end of the room. Ethan Eyes are Black and Dark Red Werewolf Eyes.
True Alpha- Ha Ha Ha. Not bad human. But let's finish this. I have a lot of planning to do after I take control of your body.
Ethan [Thoughts]- GRR! Dam it. I'm losing control I have to dig deeper and end this now.
Ethan runs [Black] Lightning through his blade and holds the blade high with both hands griping the blade tight. True Alpha did the same. As they stare each other down time slows down. Ethan began to look less in control.
Ethan [Thoughts]- Yes. I can kill him I feel the Aura flow through me. I can finally end this. Hu!?
Until Tanis hugs Ethan from behind this snaps Ethan out of True Alpha control.
Tanis- No. Please don't lose control to him brother.
Ethan- Tanis!? Uh! It's alright Tanis I'll be alright.
Ethan close his eyes and opens them returning his eyes to a normal. As Ethan and True Alpha charge at each other. Ethan sword lightning turns Dark Blue.
True Alpha- Alpha Blood Strike!
Ethan- Warlock Lightning Blitz!
True Alpha [Pain]- No! This can't be!? AHHHHHH!!
After they pass each other. Ethan has multiple deep cuts through out his body. But the True Alpha helmet falls to the ground along with the armor. Ethan falls to his knees and takes a deep breath and injects himself with and ectoplasm shot as his Warlock armor disappears. Ethan turns around to look at Tanis. But is shocked to see her eyes Black and Dark Blue she look like a walking corpse consumed by Dark Aura.
Ethan- Thanks for the help. HU!? Tanis what happened to you.

Kalen- Well done descendent. The armor should be ready to use with in two months.
Ethan- Did you show Tanis how to absorb my Dark Aura.
Kalen- I did.
Ethan- Are you insane! I almost lost my sister. Because of you.
Kalen- I had no choice. It was that or letting you be controlled by that abomination True Alpha! Beside she agreed to what would happen.
Ethan- What!?
Kalen- I warned her what would happen. But she didn't want to lose you like her family.
Ethan unable to say anything lost in thoughts.
Kalen- Anyways you should keep her around. She proved her usefulness. Anyways we will continue your training to control the Alpha Sword more tomorrow. Until then enjoy the rest of your day.

Ethan- Hey mom. Is Tanis alright.
Helen- She's fine. But she drained of her Aura and is asleep. However it will take some time for her to recover.
Ethan- Well that's good.
Helen- She also told me what happened. Why didn't you tell anyone where you were going?
Ethan- I thought we could handle the tomb. But there was a trap that wasn't in the Data-Cron I had.
Helen- Next time tell me or Ms. Grim Ethan. Those tombs are dangerous and you could have gotten yourself killed.
